KOREAN QUEEN NOT MURDERED


Remarkable ssssy ssss ~ the New Yerk
hsrssa C~rrsaUsaAssA
NEW YoRx. Jan. lA-TAs Shanghai
correspondent II TAs Herald says the
queen Of Korea. said 10 have been mur-
dered in ap attack upon the palace. is
still alive and in hiding. She is alleged
to have escaped the mob in most re.
markable manner
When, in October, the Koreans and
japanese broke into the palace, the
queen, scenting danger, hid hastily
without speaking to her women, in an
obscure outhouse, saw the bodies Of her
ladies-in-w waiting dragged to the pyre
prepared for them outside, and watched
the completion of the tragedy from her
hiding place. The queen was concealed
for an hour and a half, every mement
expecting discovery She fled, at last,
through secret passage, to the old pal
ace, and thence, after changing her
dress, made her escape outside the
walls of the city, where she reached a
place Of safety.
A Esignsd Identification.
When the japanese and Koreans ex.
amined the charred bodies of the women
who had been burned the king and
some others shrewdly feigned that they
had discovered the identity of the queen
in one of the victims, lest a search
should reveal her whereabouts and lead
to her murder. The Japanese accepted
the account of the queens death as
true. M. Waeber and Hilber, the latter
being the German consul, must have
been privy to the secret, which was
well kept. Three Koreans were stran-
gled last week as the queens murder
ers while the trial of Viscount Muru
and other Japanese officials is proceed
ing at Firoshima for the murder of a
woman who still lives. Ii Han Shin,
the leader of the last abortive plot, is
In hiding here. An American friend
who came here on the Russian cruiser

supposed murder of the queen as a
weapon against the japanese, although
well knowing its falslty. The queen

Torpedoes Being Placed in the
HarbOr at Havana Also
Big Guns.
Inference Is That Spain Expects
Interference From the
United States.
Cuban Colony in a Ferment Over
Rumors That Recognition
Is at Hand.

CHICAGO, Jan. 14.-A special from
Washington says torpedoes are being
planted in the harbor Of Havana, and
heavy siege guns are being placed in
position.
This was the private information re-
ceived by the Cuban junta and given
out by Senor Rubens. As the insur.
gents have not ship afloat, the infer
ence is irresistible that Spain expects
interference by the United States, and
is preparing to defend the capital from
attack by sea. Action by the United
States looking to the recognition Of the
belligerent rights Of the insurgents may
be nearer than is generally expected.
1t is stated on apparently good author
ity that President Cleveland's Ven
ezuelan message was a double barrelled
affair. which hit Salisbury in two places
at the same time. According to the
secret agents Of the Cuban government,

FACTS WORTH REMEMBERING,

1t is worth while for all farmers,
everywhere, to remember that thorough
culture is better than three mortgages
on their farms.
That an offensive war against weeds
Is five times less expensive than a de-
fensive one.
Tnat coed fences always pay better
than lawsuits with neighbors.
That hay isa good deal cheaper made
in the summer than bought in the win
ter.
That horse who lays his ears back
and looks lightning when anyone ap-
proaches him. is vicious: Don't buy
him.
That scrimping the feed of fatting
hogs is u waste Of grain.
That educating children is money
loaned at a hundred per cent.
That one evening spent at home in
study is more profitable than ten in
lounging about in country tayerns.

OF Interest
ITO Farmers

THE IRREPREssABLE NUISANCE.
Did it ever occur to you how much
grumblers, croakers and chronic fault
finders cost this country? We have no
doubt if the damage done by these So
cial pestilences could be correctly as
certained, and measured in dollars and
cents, the result would be appalling.
Every grumbler has his influence.
If he had no listeners, and credulous
ones at that, be would not grumble.
He is frequently more devastating than
a cyclone; be is more destructive than
the voracious locust which comes only
once in seven years. Itrequires indus
try faith and Enthusiasm to make any
business a success. Destroy mans
faith and you take with it his enthusi-
asm. With these two auxiliarie5 re-
moved the work is left undone. No
work, no results, save in time lost, op-
portunities wasted and manhood i'm
paired.
1t is sometimes our misfortune to
sit under the wet blanket of one of
these chronic croakers and listen to
the lecital Of his catalogue of woes.
First, the weather is not as he would
have it if he had the ordering of
things. it is too wet or it is too dry.
too warm or too cold. If the outlook
for crops is not altogether enco uragirg G
then we are bound to be visited by
woes innumerable. If everything is
propiti ious, and the table of earth is
laden heavily with nature's bounties
then we hear grunts, the burden of
whose melody is over ''overproduc-
tion," ''low prices" ''glntted Market"
etc.
If we were to act upon our first inn
pulse, when one of these grumbling
bores afflcts us with his presence, we
would load him into garbage cart
and dump him into the river with his
companion nuisances.
The old croaker was aptly if not ele-
gantly described by the old sailor, who
remarked OF dismal companion, 'I'm
blest if Jack is ever happy unless he's d
ID miserablel
But making Others uncomfortable is
not the grumblel's mostserious offense.
If he has an influence in the commu-
nifty it is shown in various ways. No
public spirit can be shown or fostered
when every enterprise looking to de-
yslopment ard improvement is met
with the grumbler'S chilly arguments
that the improvements are not needed;
that they are not eosting too much;
that times are going to be harder than
ever; that the growth and prosperity
of the place are only temporary, and
SO on until all public spirit is frozen |
out, and no zeal is left t. warm it up
again. Now. compute if you can, the |
damage, in dollars and cents, that is |
done by an Influential croaker. If a |
hundred thousand dollar enterprise is |
nipped in the bud it means that much |
money withheld from honest labor.
1t may mean an actual damage of a
million dollars toplace by checking
is growth and develpement. If may
be The means of breaking up hundreds
of homes, for the health dash of enter
iprise is not seen where the croaker's |
influence is felt.
OF all evils that struggling humanity |
must contend with, grumbling and |
croaking stand out black and promi- |
nent. We would as soon be associated |
with healthy polecat as with a man
or woman who can see nothing in life
but occasions for grumbling and whin-
ing.
