1t Calls for Considerable Ingenuity on thu
Part of the Operator.
OF the various machines and imple-
ments used on the farm, there is none
so delicate and complicated, or requir-
ing the exercise of more skill and in
genuity on the part Of the operator,
than the self-binding harvester. The
standard machines OF to-day have come
through and are the result of such
a long and thorough course Of devel-
opment and improvement, and manu-
facturers have followed so closely the
same general lines of construction,
that one can hardly make mistake in
the selection of machine so long as
he is satisfied to stick to the standards.
But the man who allows himself 70 be-
come too enthusiastic over something
new and novel," and invest in ma
chinery which embodies radical
changes in principles of construction,
may expect to soon have an out-of-date
machine on his hands. While principles
may be correct, course Of develop
ment and Improvement is required be-
fore best results are reached In their
application.

Doing Duty ut All Risks.

For the results or consequences Of doing
duty God is responsible. A uaa who

How the Confident Prayer OF Two Little

How the Confident Prayer OF Two Little
Ones Was Answered.
1t was in the days when both armies,
the northern and the southern, were
marching up and down in the border
states. Two little children were left
alone one night while their mother
went to sit up with sick neighbor.
There was great excitement all through
that mountain village, for the people
had news of raid that might be made
at any hour. 1t was cold, dark night,
and snow was falling fast. What
shall we do if the soldiers come while
mother is gone, sister," asked the boy.

Il will kneel right down and pray to
God to build wall about our house,

"Of course He will. Doesn't He al
ways keep His promise, and didn't He
say that If we ask in faith He would
give us ouE desires? Let US commence
right now, before we get too sleepy"
/ They. knelt down and prayed, and
then with peaceful hearts fell sound
asleep and woke no more till morning.
And, lOl in the night every other

And now, although long years have
passed since those troubled days, they
still tell the story Of how the children

these precautions dlSorderly parts OF the
community might have been melted to
reckless demonstrations and acts of vio-
lence against prominent representatives of
the three allied countries, and that it was
their duty to use every agency at their
command to prevent dangers of this de-
scription. There is no denying that many
of the newspapers in Japan can put in any
amount of mischief if allowed to have
their way.
The Government is evidently in earn
est in it's determination to insure the
safety of foreigners-not only those who
may be objects of popular dislike, but
the entire body of aliens. The police are
constantly on the alert, and if their exer-
tons should not prove sufficient for every
emergency other resources would be in
voked. The precautions are probably in
excess of what is really needful. A fren-
zied fanatic may cause trouble by fancying
himself divinely commissioned to repair
his country's wrongs; but from the people
at large no i'll treatment OF strangers is to
be apprehended.
The trial of the Korean Prince vi
Chung, favorite grandson of the Tai-won-
kun, on charges of treason and murder,
came to ON end on May IL. He was con-
demned to death, but his sentence was not
put upon record. The Tal-won-kun, who
never left the fruit-shop OF which he had
taken possession when the Prince was first
confined, in order to be near the court
house, rushed from his temporary quar-
tiers as soon as the penalty was announced,
burst into the palace of his son, the King,

of the plot, and frantically besought mercy
for the convicted assassin. The feeble
minded monarch gave way and the SEN
tence was committed to Punishment for
life. Even this token of grace was insult
ficient for the aged Tai-won-kun, who at
length extor.ed the promise that the term
of expatriation should be reduced to ten
years. This Judgment was proclaimed
May ID, and the Tai-won-kun then con-
sented to be led back to his own residence,
where he will doubtless occupy his time in
weaving fresh plans for the deposition or
death of the reigning sovereign.
American and European residents of
Formosa are in great alarm, owing to the
threatening attitude of the Chinese soldiers
on the Islands. The Chinese authorities
lost all control, and until japanese take
possession it is feared that foreigners may
be in serious danger. Admiral Kabayama,
the newly appointed Governor-General OF
Formosa, cannot assume control until the
Chinese Government sends commissioners
to arrange the transfer of authority, and
no announcement as to the time when it
will do this has as yet been given.
Viscount Mutsu has returned to Toxic
and is resting from his labors at his coun-
try seat in the suburbs. He is slowly re-

ton that it is prepared to execute the re-
vised treaty with Japan at once.

ASSA|L THE UNION PACIFIC
Another Step Taken Toward
the Dismemberment of
the System.
BondhoIders Will Secure Separate
Receiver for the Kansas City
and Omaha.

ST. PAUL, MINI, May 3O.-Harry Rich
ardson and Harris q Pendleton. attorneys
for the bondholders' committee of the
Kansas City and Omaha Railroad, made
application to Judge Sanborn for leave to
file bill against the receivers of the Union
Pacific Railway Company for the fore
closure of the first mortgage of the Kansas
City and Omaha, one of the branches OF
the Union Pacific, and the order was
granted. The bill will be filed at Omaha
tomorrow. The bill prays for separate re-
ceivers, as well as the foreclosure of the
bonds. The bonds amount to 50, $4,000.
This is another step in the dismember-
ment Of the Union Pacific Company. The
action and proceedings are similar to those
brought in the Oregon Short Line case,
which has just resulted in the appoint
ment of John M. Egan as receiver of the
latter road. This may force the fore
closure of the mortgage on the ST. Joe and
Grand Island, another branch of the Union
Pacific as that branch guaranteed the in
terest on the Kansas City and Omaha
bonds, and is made party to this suit.

TO SUE ARTHUR RODGERS
Mrs. Isabella Martin Says He
Has Damaged Her
Character.
$4,000 DAMAGES ASKED FOR

Defendant.
The papers in suit for $500, 900 damages

The papers in suit for $500 900 damages
against Arthur Rodgers for defam alton of
character will be filed this week by Attor-
ney ]. c. Bates, acting for Isabella T. Mar
tin. The complaint alleges that between
the 9Th day of June and the 2Sth day of
September, 1894, said Arthur Rodgers, in
the presence of one of the jurors of the
Henry Martin will case, stated that Mrs.
Isabella T. Martin was not the mother of
"Baby john" that he was child that she
obtained from the founding asylum of
New York and that his knowledge was
based on the physical condition of Mrs.
Martin when she left this city for New
York.
Another suit will follow this, also against
Mr.. Rodgers, Isabella T. Martin AS guardian
| OF baby John, suing for the same amount,
$5OO,O0O damages, alleging that Rodgers
had DETAINED the child by attempting to
bastardize him.
On the occasion of Mr.. Rodgers nuptials
Mrs. Martin wrote a congratulatory letter
to the bride, from which the following are
extracts:
My Dear Madam: trust that you will, I'M
der the circumstances, pardon the liberty I
take in addressing you hitherto stranger to
myself. However, no longer a stranger, for 1
| snail Wdtcn the career or yourself and husband
with great interest and feryor, for Arthur
! Rodgers can never, while life lasts, undertake
or attempt anything that will not be closely
| followed by myself.
| have some advice that would like to give
| you as friend. Always carry with you, wher-
| ever you may be, faithfully and religiously
| kept diary, so that at any time or place, should
| circumstances demand, you may be able to ac-
curately reply to the same questions your
| husband asked me in open court, before the
gentlemen of the jury in the Martin will case
and the SDeStatOrS that thrOppa6 ho
! room.
| We never know what may come to us in this
world OF change. But take my advice and be
| ready for him. I know him we'll 1 know his
| true inwardness, and am surprised that you,
| after plotting your little craft in such smooth
waters, should again venture on an unknown
| and treacherous sea. Ii it is ever in my power
| to assist you, command me. Truly yours,
ISABELLE T. MARTIN.

| papers in the above suit before sending this
cheerful epistle to the bride, who is now
| honeymooning in the woods of Camp
