arrangements are so well perfected. These
divisions in churches are to be deprecated,
but they mustn't try to put me out by
force. If my faithful supporters are in

WAR Is CERTAIN SOON.

Returned OmciaI Says There VIII
be Trouble Between Russia and Japan.
SAN Francisco, Sc pit. 2-Chester HoI-
comb, who has just returned from China,
after twenty-one years service in the
American legation at Pekin, says the re-
cent massacre is traceable to the result
of the recent China-Japanese war.
GIN the first place the great mass of
Chinese are disappointed at the result of
the war, and are taking revenge on all
foreigners whom they can kill with i'm
punity.
SIN the second place, the killing and
pillaging receives great encouragement
by reason of the depredations committed
by hordes of disbanded soldiers all over
the country. The Chinese government
has peculiar method of dispensing of its
troops at the close of a war. When the
soldiers are no longer needed they are
discharged from service at the place
where they happened to be at the
time. The troops are turned loose, and
to use an American expression, they
have 20 beat their way back to the place
from whence they came. Mr.. Holcomb
says the most interesting question in
the Orient at the present time, outside
of the missionary massacres and the
cholera is the approaching conflict be-
tween Russia and Japan.
THAT Japan and Russia will become
mixed up in a dispute which will result
in war goes without saying" said he,
sand the commencement of actual hos
tiIities is not far off. The Japanese have
a big grievance against Russia, and Rus
sia is preparing to make things warm
for the Japanese.
THE other day was told very frank
Iy by Japanese officials who hold high
positions in the government, that Japan
would live to rue the day when she per
mitted herself to become mixed up in
war with China. 1t has given Russia
an opportunity she has long waited for.
"No one knows better than | how mar
rowly Japan escaped war with Russia
when she got through with her war
with China. The Japanese were so in
censed at Russia's attitude in the matter
of cessation of Ii Tung peninsula that
the japanese officials talked seriously of
engaging in a squabble with Russia. l
was in Japan at the time and heard it
! all.
"a certain member of the Japanese
cabinet whose acquaintance made
when he was sent to Pekin as the Japan
csc minister to China, said to me at the
time: Russia has six irouclad battle
ships. We have but one, and that we
CAPTURED from the Chinese If we had
but four ironclads. or only three
we would defy Russia That is just
what Russia wanted them to do. Russia
will vet SO aggravste the Japanese that
they will declare war. Then Russia
will attempt to drive the Japanese out of
Corea, where they are now masters of
the situation
s'The Japanese are debating affairs in
Corea, for while the king still remains
on the throne he does nothing that counts
in authority The fight between Russia
and Japan will be over Corea, and it will
como Just as soon as Russia finds that
! she wants an open port on the Pacific"

"Herel How is this?' demanded the con-

The man and woman addressed looked

railroad came to their cheeks, but they
made no response.
F'How old is that girl back there?' con-
tinued the conductor, pulling his tawny

replied the woman, figuring it out on her
finger ends.
''And how old is that boy, next herr"
eff he lives till the 9th of November,

sharply.
'Ha, just as I expected!' gloated the

"Thats easy enough" ventured the
woman frankly.

EMPEROR DECORATES.
William Places Branches of Oak Leaves
on the Corps Standards.

BERLIN, Sept 2.-Emperor William
was astir early to-day and inaugurated
the second day of the festivities in con-
nection with the cele bration of the battle
of 1870'71 by personally decorating with
branches of oak leaves, the four corps
standards. The first regiment of the
guards was drawn up in front of the
castle to witness the ceremony. At $50
o'clock the emperor set out for the pa
rade ground to review the German Amer
lean veterans
All the public buildings in this city
were decked in the most elaborate man
ner. The decorations of Inter den Lin
den and Friedrichstrasse were especially
profuse.
The Brandenburg gate was covered
with laurel wreaths, hanging from which
were streamers of dark crimson velvet
bearing the inscription in gold letters,
"How events have shaped themselves IN
der Gods guidance"
MUNICH, Sept. AT the celebration
yesterday of the battle of Sedan, Prince
Leopold, second son of Luitpold, prince
regent of Bavaria, delivered a speech, in
the course of which he thanked his hear
ers in the name of his father, for the
patriotism which they had evinced.

He Objected.

John Kernell, the Irish comedian, closed
his season on the road early last year and
went into Kew York city to spend the
summer. He put up at a hotel there, and
one night through some mistake the clerk
put opposite tie number of Kernell's room
a ''call'' for $50 a. IN. The hotel had in
its service one of those vigorous porters
who will break in a door rather than al
low man to oversleep on a call, and this
man was so persistent that Kernel finally
arose and dressed himself in order to put
a stop to the racket. When he went down
stairs, he saw by the clock that it was
just z.
''See here, - he said to the clerk in angry
tones, why do you wake me up at this
hour in the morning when I have nothing
to do until August" -Argonaut.

Is descriptive not of society freak

Is descriptive not of society freaks,
but the name of a bed spring. I'm
like some of the four hundred society
people, it is good-thoroughly good
in every particular-that's why, after
proper investigation, we have taken
the agency for this city. We are al
weys getting hold of the good things
in our line, because our customers
want them and know they can get
them there. They are not cheap if
you take the price only into con-
sideratien, but if you think of the
restfuI comfort of a royalty good bed,
they are wonderfully cheap at the
price, 81. A higher priced spring is
the Ideal 1t is on the order of the
Four Hundred-Only more SO: it is
a good thing, but comes high. There
are people who must have it, how
ever; price never bars out there de-
sire for the best 1t costs SO. Com
mon springs are $3.50, $3.50, and
good steel springs as low in price as
So. We've got all kinds for YOU.

this store for good furniture as it is

sound could penetrate through it.

WILL NOT INSURE 1T.
The New Court House is a Fire
proof Building.
RATES FIXED BY Mr.. CLARKSON.

Made Lower On the Santa Fee Hospital
ing.
Mr.. Henry Clarkson, the insurance
"czar'' has issued his advisory rate sheet
fixing the insurance rates on the new
court house and the new Santa Fe hos
pital
The court house rates are made very
low as it is freproof building.
Mr.. ClarksOn fixes the rates on the
court house at one year 40 cents, three
years 80 cents, five years 81 80 and a
provision is made that if a reinsurance
clause is attached the rates will be one
year rs cents, three years go cents, five
years 80 cents
Mr.. Clarkson says the court house is
what is known as tireproof construction,
aud it will be heated with steam and
lighted with electricity and gas
The county commissioners will not,
however, put any insurance on the court
house, as it is fire proof ard they figure
that the county can afford to carry it's
own risk.
Mr.. Clarkson's rates fixed for the Santa
Fe hospital are not quite so low, as he
says the noSpltal IS WndG is known III
insurance circles as building of "slow
burning construction"
The rates on the hospital have been
fixed as follows: One year 60 cents; three
years $1.30; five years 50. If the co-insu-
rance clause is attached the rate will be
one year 40 cents; three years 80 cents;
five years $3.50.
prominent Topeka insurance man
says the Santa Fs hospital will not be
written in Topeka, but will be included

Trov I3nsahnu CInh.

Late as it is in the baseball season,
Troy has subscribed money to resurrect
her ball club, and retain it till the end of
the season. Joe McMahone of the Lea
venworth team will take the place of
Wilson, who it is said, is welded to
junction City. All the rest of the old
players have been secured, except Fa-
lukner, who is crippled up too badly to
play ball. 1t is the intention of Troy to
settle the dispute as to what club is en-
titled to the state championship.
