CAPITAL CITY NOTES.

CAPITAL CITY NOTES:
The Young Mems Christian
Association intend trying their
influence on the city council.
They want a city ordinance
passed requiring policemen to
enforce the law requiring sa-
looms to close on Sundays. In
the absence ofsurh as ordinance
the police say it is none of their
business to close saloons, and
the county officers in turn say
it is the business Of the city
to enforce the law, and between
the two, the saloons arc run
open and are having q good
time.
Tuesday night Al s2veu
o'clock Fritz Hartkoph, prom
ineHt saloon man here, who
uad been on a terrible drunk all
night Monday night, died sud
denly. This makes the fifth
sudden death within q very
short time from the same cause,
in this city. Had an article Of
flour, bacon or can goods caus
ed these deaths what q howl
would have been rasied.
Deaths from whiskey, however,
go right among and everybody
is Indifferent.
Charlie Ledbetter, who muir
dered a man in a saloon here
last Sunday week ago, is still
in jail, having failed to give
bond.
The United States Court is in
session here, but is doing very

very guarded and diplomatic
manner limited that when the
time came the relations between
the great powers would be
found sufficiently harmonious
to insure the restoration of
peace between Japan and Chi
ma. By the terms of the under
standing, as reported; Japan
will not be permitted to acquire
an inch of territory on the
Chinese mainland:
This would of course prevent
her from retaining Port Arthur
or Wei-lIai- Wei, the great Chi
ncse. naval s-rongholds,.or any
part OF Manchuria. which she
has occupied after hard fighting:
But, on the other hand, it is
believed here that the statement
carries o distinct intimation that
Japan nay claim the great is
latt5 cf Fnrnnbes which is a.
most important stragetic point.
It has been confidently expect
cd here that the European pow
crs would intervene between
Japan and China whenever it
should appear that the latter
country was really yanquished
and was suing in vain for peace
upon reasonable terms, but so
far as the dispatch referred to
indicates any action in that line
by the United States in connec-
ton with other powers it is
clearly erroneous, for it can be
positively stated that under no
circumstances can the president
be induced to depart so far
from our established policy of
non-intervention.
1t is no cause of surprise here
| that Germany too will refrain
from joining in an Intervention
which would be surely distaste-
full to Japan, for the latest re-
ports from our consuls in the
latter country show that the
German traders are making eX-
traordinary preparations for
supplanting all other foreigners,
even Americans. in securing
control of valuable trade i'll

Brief Items From the Lone Star
Capitol:
From Our Regular Correspondent.

The legislature is getting
down to work and from present
indications they will get.
through with important meas
ures within the 80 days limit.
Representative Cough, after
hard fight, got through the
House his Anti Johnson Grass
Bill, a measure that is of vital
interest to farmers. The bill
as passed makes the sowing of
Johnson grass, Russian thistle
or Cocoa grass a felony or
misdemeanor at the discretion
of the jury. The bill will go to
the senate where its fame is
doubtful.
The Senate has passed a bill
to third reading, amending the
penal code by raising the
misdemeanor limit from $50 to
$50. This was advocated four
teen years ago by Major jolee,
then superintendent Of the
Penitentiary, and in his ohicia
report he urged the Eighteenth
Legislature to pass such a law,
contending that it would reduce
the number of penitentiary con-
victs that were crowding the
prisons. A bill was introduced
during that Legislature, but it
was defeated and every succeed
ing Legislature since then it has
bobbed up to only meet inglor-
ious defeat. 1t has passed the
Senate to third reading as stat
ed, but it is very doubtful if it
I becomes a law. Why! well,
perhaps the big fees have some
thing to do with it. In mis-
demeanor trial county and
district attorneys get only
$1,000 while felony theft cases
pay tlru $4,000 Then too the
misdemeanor fees usually go to
the constable and justices where
as felonie fees go to district of
ficers and Sheriffs, and they are
a power in the land. So you
see there is a patent reason for
not wanting to reduce felony
cases.

following resolution introduced

Romance Surrounding a Mount Tacoma
Guide and Schoolmistress.
Miss Cora Beachman, the belle Of
Lake Park, suburb of Tacoma, Wash,
and principal of the school there, will
marry Henry Carter, the best-known of
all the Mount Tacoma guides.
Miss Beachman was member of a
mountain climbing party recently for
which Carter was the guide. Through
accidents and exhaustion all turned
back before reaching the sum-
NIT except Miss Beachman, who had
determined at all hazards to see the
top. With Carter's assistance she
reached the summit at six o'clock, too
late to attempt to return that night.
The twain remained all night in an
ice cave.
They talked all night. In the course
of conversation Carter proposed and
was duly accepted. The thermometer
registered twenty degrees below zero
while Carter spoke his word of love.

CHASED BY A MOOSE.
Exciting Experience of a Woodman In
Canadian Forest.

Exciting Experience of a Woodman In a
Canadian Forest.
A correspondent writing from Mecu-
mona, Muskota, gives an interesting
account of an adventure which he had
with a moose, while employed in MAX
ing toboggan trail through one of the
pine forests in that section of the coun-
try. While engaged at work, says the
Montreal Witness, he came across a
moose yard, and, on looking round, saw
one of the "giants of the forest" about
fifty yards distant. The story of his
encounter is, perhaps, best told in the
correspondents own words:
After a moment" he writes, ''the
moose turned and walked behind hill,
which, though not high, was steep. I
ran to the top with all speed, hoping to
get view of the lcrdly creature as he
made his way through the bush. l
could not see him at first, but, on
looking down the steep incline, there
he was, not ten yards away. He turned
to make off, but, striking his ribs
against the projecting limb of a small
hemlock, he was thrown down and
round the tree, and as he rose he faced
me.
''It was now my turn to run, for the
moose charged at me with erected
name, expressing his rage by fierce
below, In turning 1 stumbled, the
ground being very uneven, and his feet
nearly came down on me as l lodged
among some trees. 1 tried to strike
with my Ratchet, the only weapon 1
had, but did not succeed in iniuring
my pursuer. With some difficulty at
last got out into the deep snow, where
my snowshoes were of more use to me.
The moose still pursued me, roaring at
intervals, and one who has not heard a
moose roar can form but little idea of
the terrible believing noise. After
several attempts to strike me with his
front feet he baked and stood about
twenty yards away, paving and roar
ing. ! eagerly seized this opportunity
to climb tree and soon after the ami
NAL turned and made off. Of all nv
adventures in the bush the one have
just related came the nearest to being
my death"

by law allowed to serve ON a jury in

on the jury that convicted him it is
