FROM FAR ORR JAPAN
An Interesting Story of the
Oriental War.
EXTRACTS FROM "A LETTER
Written by a Woman Missionary to
Japan From the Baptist Church
of Luverne, MINI.

The following interesting article is
from letter written by Miss Davina
Mead, and published i'm the Rock Coun-
,ty Herald, Luverne, MINI. Miss Mead
was "a FORMER resident of Luverne and
went to Japan as a missionary from
the Baptist church. The letter is dated
at Sendai, Japan, October 2S.:
"You ask II we are suffering in any
way from the war? We are in no dam
ger whatever. Our only trouble is that
THE prices of everything are awfulIy
high; butter is SO cents per pound, and
everything correspondlngly; {-iae has
been doubled and wood also. Then in
our work we are seriously hdndered
aIt present, no one can talk Of anything
but the war.
There is a furious battle raging to-
day, we suppose, as At was open or be-
gun yesterday morning. It is no doubt
great, for the Armies have been march
ing toward one point for weelSs, both
Chinese and Japanese. The foreign
sympa!shizers with Japan predict that
China will be brought Ito her knees in
ten days i wish it were all over, for
IL 1t lasts there will be terrible destl-
tutlon. l do not think you are alone
in your view OF the rights Of the war.
Almost all ARE ON the side of Japan and
her dause. Perhaps it would not be
amiss to note some of the causes which
brought about this war:
"On June 7th each empire notified
the other through their diplomatic rep
resentataves In Pel1in and TOXIC thar q
troop was 10 be dispatched to Corea.
The simultaneous notification shows
both were aware OF the Others action.
Japan knew uhaIt China had been asked
to give armed aid to the Corean gov
eminent (or rather the rebel faction
then holding sway and that China was
about to comply, and justly resolved
that the time had come to remedy I
Corsa's perpetual disturbance with their
dangerous consequences. While China
was sending troops to quell the insur-
rection of the Tong HalSs, to reaftlrm
her own dominion in the peninsula, and
to reseat firmly men under whcige guiG-
ance tine country was fast losing ca
paclty for independence. Japan's mo-
tive was ito remedy this or bring about
a cure for the malady. 1t was a ques-
tion of vital interest to her, for 1t con-
cerned her own public peace in particu-
lar and the peace of the Orient In gem

AN AMUSING DOCUMENT.

Old public records are sometimes in
teresring documents to look over. None
perhaps, is more interesting than a. mar
riage record, and County Clerk Dunbar
has one that contains several amusing
records.
When a. minor wishes 10 wed, a Il.
cense cam only be secured with the
written consent Of the guardian or pa,
rents. This written consent must be
placed in the book, along with the reg.
ular record Of license issred. Several
peculiar papers are to be seen in the
present record, a couple Of which are
altogether amusing. One. from a man
at Gray's River. reads thusly:
