TRACE OF THE LOST BOY
A Man With a Gun Seen to Get Into His
Wagon.


The first thing that appears like clue
to the disappearance of fifteen year old
Edward Illson who lived twelve miles
southeast of Topeka has been reported
to Sheriff Burdge
l. B. Clearinghouse, who lives five
miles west of where the IllsOn boy lived,
is the informant He says that on the
afternoon of the day young Illson
came to Topeka for his load
of sand a rough looking man, who
carried a small rifle appeared at the or
chard of neighbor who lives across the
road from Dir. Clearinghouse. A boy
about sixteen years old was IN the or
chard, and the man approached and
opened q conversation.
They talked of guns and shooting, and
the boy informed the stranger that he
also owned rife, and going into the
house brought it out and he and the
stranger spent some time shooting
at mark The stranger was anxious to
trade guns, but the boy refused, aud
while they were talking a boy with a
load of sand came in sight.
Il believe will ride with that boy if
he goes nv way said the stranger.
He got into the wagon with the boy
and together they turned east toward the
Illson home.
It was about half mile from this
place that the sand was found. This &C.
CURED at about half past four in the
evening and the description given by the
boy of the boy who was in the wagon
leaves no doubt that it was Edward Ill
son with whom the stranger rode away
The neighbors have offered $500 reward
for the discovery of the lost boy.

Japan is Rich.

There is a general belief that
japan is a poor country; that a long
war would exhaust her more than
many other countries-Chlns, for
example. Probably the idea origin
ated in the extreme loWness Of prices
in japan, but that is no criterion.
Living is cheaper in London than IN
Hongkong, but nobody calls London
q poorer place on that account. As
a matter of fact, Japan ID now rapid
~ becoming self supplying, and there
fore need have little fear of exhaust
ion, says the Philadelphia Ledger.
She has money enough for all re-
uuirements; her taxation is very
light, yet her revenue leaves sur
plus over expenditures every year;
her imports about balance her ex-
ports, and both are increasing yearly,
and are not suffering in the least
from the war. When the accumulat.
ed surplus (about 100000 yen) had
all been voted away in war expenses
a war loan of 100000 yen, and
now another one of 150,000,000, have
been readily raised without causing
any appreciable dislocation. Gov

premium in the beginning of the
year, when there was a distinct boom
in the market; now, when the war
has gone on three months, the sur
plus been spent and the loans been
raised, they are still at B per cent.
premium, with an upward tendency.
The country is not poor in any sense
of the word. The land, though of
hardly larger extent than England,
and in some parts too mountainous
for cultivation, supports population
of 100000, and produces a rice
crop which is usually larger that the
whole grain crop Of Russia.

of public protection may be re-
garded as secondary to putting a
quietus on opium trade and per-
forming the duties of a Government
dispatch boat, yet, owing to the
peculiar combinations existing at
this time, it is particularly oppor-
tune to make the trial, with view
to proving the efficacy of putting a
steamer into permanent service for
the Government. The small
amount of money to carry out this
project can we'll be afforded.

CONTROL OF PACIFIC DESTINY.

A Santa Cruz paper, in rehearsing
the destiny of the Pacific Coast and
the islands of the Pacific ocean,
prophesied by William Fl. Seward
and dwelt upon by Minister Thurs
ton in the April issue of the Ameri-
can Review, asks "What share is
Santa Cruz to have in that destiny
of greatness, of commercial activity
and material wealth so rapidly, so
inevitably unfolding before our
eyes ?"
This is certainly a question per-
tinent to every city and town along
the Pacific slope. The attention of
the western cities must constantly
be turned away from the Atlantic
toward the nations bordering the
Pacific. San Francisco, as the
principal port of the West, must
always be a leading factor, but
other municipalities will soon be
bidding for the money and
trade of the Orient. AS the
becomes sharper,
then will the necessity of American
control of the Hawaiian Islands be
impressed upon those in whose
hands are the business interests Of
the western States. These cities
form the base of a triangle, the
apex of which is in Hawaii, from
whence the lines again diverge en-
closing the vast areas from Siberia
toSouthern Australia. Control of the
commerce of the Pacific is matter
of interest to every individual bust
ness center on the American coast,
and if Yankee enterprise does not
assume a master hand, Great
Britain and Japan will not wait to
inquire, "What are you going to do
about it?"

CHIEF JUSTICE JUDD's discussion
of the silver problem in Hawaii is
an able presentation of phases of
past and possible future financial
legislation in this country. Under
the present conditions, the large
amount of silver used in the pay
ment of salaries, makes the white
metal a common medium of ex-
change in the Islands. All foreign
business of the importers is done in
gold, on which is a premium of two
per cent. This premium is reckon
ed as an addition to the first cost
of the goods and is paid for by the
retail purchaser. There is large
field for reform both in banking
and methods of doing business, and
a compulsory decrease of silver
will go long way toward
bringing about q realization of the
practical benefits of the theory.

THE Lying Dutchman" sailed
from the port of Honolulu with its
skipper happy in the fact that his
asinine qualities as perverter of
truth had won him attention in the
land. For the first time in bis ex-
istence, his work had been viewed
in its proper light-the work Of an
innocent. The endeavor of some
cliques and their mouth pieces to
look upon the personality of the
New York Post representative with
any degree of seriousness, shows
pretty clearly the tendency of the
undereurrents that crop out on the
surface occasionally. The articles
published in and supported editor
tally by the Post, though containing
an occasional item Of truth, have as
their framework a complete scheme
for incorporating the present Ha-
waiian government, and as the
American people have come to look
with more favor upon annexation,
the prevarications have become
more virulent. Those who support
the policy of the Post or it's puppet
may we'll be put in the same class
of eccentric, egotistical, anti-Amer-
lean, Jason-faced individuals whose
constantly decreasing. minority
make them the object of ridicule.

MONEY WE'LL EXPENDED.

The experiment of an armed
steamer to patrol the coast of the
islands and in many respects per-
form the offices of revenue cutter
service is good one, and will de-
termine the feasibility of maintain
ing such a vessel for protection
against smugglers and for assist
ance that may be rendered from
time to time to the island shipping.
These islands offer magnificent
opportunities for those desiring to
land goods contrary to law, to say
nothing of the dangers to which
the country is exposed from at
tacks by outside forces of one kind
or another. Sheer at rumors of
filibustering expeditions or vessels
with arms as we may, the fact still
remains that only a question of
funds would keep such an expedi-
ton away from these shores. In
any large city along the coast line
of the United States, it would be
comparatively easy matter to
gather a motley crowd who, fur
nished with arms and q moderate
sum of money would risk their
lives for the plumber they could
win from what they look upon as a
virtually defenseless community.
We do not anticipate that serious
dangers from flibusters menace the
country but the incidents of the !
recent troubles have brought many |
possibilities to light which were
never so thoroughly appreciated in
former days. The people have
learned that it is far better to be
forewarned and forearmed. not al
ways depending upon the heavy
work of the detectives for the safe
ty of the community. Arms have
been landed, and it can be done
again, the dangerous elements pro-
iting by the mistakes of former +
AS previously stated, these phases
