trades command pittance that to our
western ideas seems incredibly small
But small as the wages OF the Japanese
worker may be, there are considerations
that indicate at once that some other
cause must be found There is duty on
both the articles mentioned, ana IN addl-
ton TO this ii must be remembered that
Japan is a good piece away. ana that, IN
the natural course, freightS would give
{. considera bic price in this market to ar
ticles that were entirely without cost in
the orient
A visit TO several Japanese importing
houses which deal exclusively in line Sat
suma and other native wares and in
Japanese curios revealed the secret OF the
prices at which the small wares could be
offered here. The large vases which form
the staple import OF the concerns called
upon require the most careful packing,
lest on their journey they come TO grief;
ard here is where the tOOth-lckS and
fans not only work their passage, but
legally escape duty. Packed in and
around the vases are many thousands of
these articles, and by their use they lose
their character as merchandise and be-
come merely so much packing II would
be difficult to estimate the enormous
quantities of this packing which would
be required for a single shipment OF
vases. The market here is constantly
glutted, and New Workers can purchase
here at home these trif1es at the Same
prices that are asked in Toxic. and their
wonderful cheapnesS makes American
competition totally out of the question.

has Just returned to San Francisco on
his first visit. This is Joseph Juneau,
the founder of the Alaskan city which
bears his name. Juneau is French
Canadian, who caught the gold fever in
1851. and came to California by the old
overland trail. He tried mining, but
failed, and then became a hotel keeper
Three years later, when the Cariboo
gold excitement came, he joined the
rush to British Columbia. From that
place he went still further north to
Alaska, and settled on the site of the
present city of Juneau. Like all old
prospectors, he has never been able to
overcome his passion for mining. His
uncle Solomon gave his name to Ju-
neau, Wis, and also was one of the
founders of the capital of Wisconsin.

FAME.


written for The Herald
Would you climb the ladder of fame?
In painting, or sculpture. or rhyme?
You have TO begin at the foot,
And mount up one step at a time.
You may make a jump at chance.
And gain a few steps from the ground;
But you have TO balance or fall,
And lose your strength making the
bound.
Would you climb the ladder of fame?
You must keep at work every day,
For others are going that road
And you must keep out of their way.
Your near friends may give you a boost,
But that may not help you at all,
For you may fall over their heads
Or wound yourself scratching the wall.
Would you climb the ladder of fame?
Don't hurry or worry at all.
But plant your feet firm on the round.
And see there IS no chance to fall
But think, as you're climbing away
The friends who are locking at you
VIII see. as you get TO the top.
You getting more small TO their view.
Would you climb the ladder Of fame?
To win a big name and renown,
You must bid goodbye 10 your friends,
And win them in some other town.
The fond hopes and feelings OF youth,
The ties of friends loving and Kind,
Nav have to be bartered away
For fame is SO very un<ind.
Would you climb the ladder of fame?
You must pay price for the prize
And fame. like the jewels and gems,
Is sold by it's weight and its size.
And when you have climbed TO the top
And looked on the prize with delight,
Before you can grasp it to hold
It's gone, like a fash in the night!

SPECIAL to the St. Louis Republic.

Special to the st. Louis Republic.
Wellington, Kans., April llth.-
One Of the most awful tIagedieS
that ever occurred in this state was
enacted al South Haven Yesterday.
1t was the elimination Of bitter
war between rival newspaper editors,
and Charles BranscGmbe. editor Ct
the South Haven New Era, was the
victim.
Robert T. Simons, editor of the
Caldwell News. and A. A. Richards.
editor of the Wellington Daily Mail,
became involved in newspaper fight
over the county printing over a year
ago, aud recently both have INDUCED
in bitter personalities. A recent arti-
Gle 10 ohe Mail. especially severe on
the editor Of the News, provoked
yesterdays encounter. SimOns and
his sick wife were on the northbOund
Frisco accommodation yesterday. en-
route home, and when the train
reached South Haven, SimOnS stepped
to the station platform. A. A. Rich
ards and Charles BranScombe met
him there by chance. Richards and
SimOns quarreled and both became
wildly excited, drawing evllvers and
beginning firing at each other. At
the fifth shot BranScombe fell for
ward. ByStanders rushed in and dis
armed the rivals. An examination
showed that BranscOmbe was fatally
wounded. He fingered until tonight.
No arrests have yet been made. 1t
is not known which man fred the
fatal shot. Bransc0mbe was warm,
personal friend of Colonel Richards.
The affair has created a profound
sensation.
Similar dispatches appeared in all
the papers last Sunday. They were
false in every particular, and sim
ply fabrication of the fertile brain
of some newspaper correspondent.
Editors Branscombe, Richards and
SimOnS have spent several dollars an
swering telegramS since it was re-
ported that BranScOmbe was killed.
They are quite indignant over the
matter and expect to investigate and
find out who started the report.

SimOns' Theory on the Fake.

a. A. Richards returned Wednes.
day firm his trip to Wichita and
Topeka, whittier he went to ferret
out the "sneak" who sent in the fake
special about the alleged shooting
between himself and r. T. SimOns.
The specials were sent from Wich-
ita, he learned, in the name of j. L.
PapeS, editor of the Kansas Star.
Investigation at Wichita, however,
revealed the fact that the man who
really sent them was a professional
newspaper correspondent named
johnson, and he was inyeigled into it
by Dave Leahy and Charley Nessley
Of the Eagle, who wanted to get
Johnson fired from the staff of the
Journal and Capital. Richards thinks
the kilograms were inspired by some
of his enemies here and claims to be
able to locate them.
A gentleman who was at Caldwell
Tuesday says Mr.. Simons has a
theory. He has in his possession
copies of the specials from a half
dozen different newspapers-all sub
Stantially the same, but each some
what modified. From expressions in
these various kilograms and other
circumstances. he is convinced that
none other than HeLry Derwin orig
mated the fake, sending it to Wichita
by mail.
Henry Derwin will be remembered
as the young man who was foreman Of
the Daily Mail last winter, and who
was mixed up with the late Taylor
SimOnS embroglio. 1t was said at the
time that Taylor was trying to hold
the News for Derwin, who would run
it in harmony with Richards political
schemes.
