The Elk Grove Grange last Wednes-
day evening gave another of it's socials
at the home of Mrs. E. Lewis near Shell
don Parlor games and whist were the
order of the evening, at which some of
the young ladies showed great powers
at mind reading and guessing, While the
older folks intellgently discussed the
single tax and other important issues of
the day, including that of the weather.
At midnight the guests We're seated to
long tables heavily laden with the fruits
of bounteouS harvest, such as only
Granger wives and daughters know how
to gather. Evidently the effects of heavy
frosts and the scarcity of rain has not
blighted the hopes of the Elk Grove
Changers. After feasting an hour there
were some well-rendered songs and dec
lamations, and as the clock neared the
short hours of morning good-byes were
said and all went their way, wishing for
some rain and a moderation in tempera-
ture in the near future.
Among those present We're: Mr. and
Mrs. NJ. Cotton, Mr.. and Mrs. J. H At

WAR PROBABLE
Costa Rica and Nicaragua Are Ready
For Battle

For Battle
NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE corre-
spondent of the Herald in Managua tel
egraphs:
Two British warships are now in Ca
raguan waters and more expected. One
of these now in Nicaragua is at Corinto
and the other at San Juan del Sur.
The Herald's Washington correspond
ent says: There is general impression
among American diplomats here
that Costa Rica and Nicaragua are very
near war. Both governments have as
sumed belligerent attitudes, according
to information which has reached
Washington and which has been print
ed in the Herald, and 1t Is the expecta-
ton Of Central Americans in this city
that President Zelaya will demand a
disavowal of Costa Rica's responsibility
in connection with the revolution in San
Juan del Sur.
Whether the president Of Costa Rica
will comply with President Zelaya's de-
mand, and whether Nicaragua will have
the support Of Salvador and Honduras
in case of war, are questions which Pan
Americans are asking each other. Those
in touch with the Costa Rica legation in
this city express the opinion that that
government will not comply with the
prospective demand of the Nicaraguan
president, and in this event war is likely
to follow.

A COFFEE COLONY
Southern Mexico to Be Filled With
Japanese


SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 10. - Among
the passengers who arrived on the steam
er Gaelic today were M. Kobayashi and
H. Kawamura of Toxic, who are on their
way to Mexico to further the interests
of a colossal Japanese colonization prof.
ect. The first-named gentleman, when
seen, said that preparations are being
made for the establishment of Japan
ese colony on big tract Of land adjacent
to the port of San Benito and contiguous
to the Guatemalan boundary. In ac-
cordance with a treaty between the
Japanese and Mexican governments,
ratified last year, Count Enomoto, ex-
minister of agriculture and a wealthy
Japanese landowner, purchased 100000
acres Of land In Mexico in the locality
described, and 1t is on this that the
Japanese colony is to be established.
The enterprise is receiving the sup
port of the Japanese government. 1t is
the purpose of the two visitors to have
the land surveyed and laid out for the
colonists, and this will be done as quick
ly as possible. The entire acreage, they
declare, will be devoted to the cultiva-
ton of coffee.
1t is also planned to establish line of
steamers between this city and Aca-
pulco, to connect with the new Japanese
trans-Pacific line.

The Washington authorities. 1t is said,
received their first intimation of this
expedition from Spanish spies stationed

tion of intercepting the alleged filibus-
tering expedition.
OTHER MAIL MEDDLING
NEW YORK, Feb. 14-It is now
known on the highest authority that the
real reason for sending the United
States torpedo boat Gushing to Havana
was that the Spanish authorities have
been tampering with mail sent to the
battleship Maine in Havana harbor,
says the Washington correspondent of
the Herald.
This resulted in Capt. Sigsbee of the
Maine sending protest to Washington,
with a suggestion that regular serv-
ice be established between Key West
and Havana by means of torpedo boats.
On the strength of this protest the
Cushing was dispatched to Havana.
NOT SETTLED YET
NEW YORK, Feb. IA A special to the
Herald from Washington says: The de
LONE incident is still unsettled. The
cipher dispatch received from Minister
Woodford was not entirely satisfactory.
1t was taken to the president by Assist
ant Secretary Day and after short
conference between them MIR. Day sent
another cablegram to Minister Wood
ford
Officially, nothing will be said about
these two communications further than
that the incident is not yet entirely
closed. 1t is said that Minister Wood
ford's cable was a report of his inter-
view with the Spanish minister of for
eign affairs, who showed that no direct
disclaimer had been made by Spain of
that feature of the De LONE letter which
had been interpreted to indicate the in
sincerity of the Spanish government in
the matter of autonomy and in the nego-
tiations for commercial treaty.
Absence of such disclaimer is not
entirely satisfactory to the president.
Accordingly Minister Woodford has
been given further instructions on the
subject. Without making any express
demand for a disavowal, Minister Wood
ford is required by his new instructions
to impress upon the Madrid authorities
the Importance to all parties concerned
of some distinct reputation of Senior dc
Lomes declarations, which the presi-
dent cannot believe correctly represent
the position of the Spanish government.

ST. JOHN DENOUNCED
FOR SIGNING PETITION FOR A
LIQUOR LICENSE
w. C. T. u. Women of Kansas Bonn
bard the Ex-Governor With
Questions Unanswerable

OLATHE, Kan, Feb. 13.-At a mass
meeting of his fellow citizens this after
noon John P. St. John, the Prohibition
ex-governor, was roundly denounced for
signing a whisky petition.
Governor St. John endeavored to de-
fend himself but was questioned so
sharply that he was compelled to retire.
The demonstration which followed was
one of the liveliest ever witnessed in
Olathe, the center ten years ago of the
original package excitement.
Three local druggists had filed petit
tions with the probate judge asking for
permission to sell liquor. The law re-
quires the signatures of twenty-five men
in which the drug store is to be located.
One of the druggists secured ex-Gov-
ernor ST. Johns name to his petition.
This stirred up the w. c. T. U. as never
before, and a mass meeting for this af
ternoon was called The church was
crowded. Senator Parker, the first
speaker, called upon Mr.. st. John to eX-
plain why he-so prominent and able
leader and temperance advocate-had
after so many years of prohibition in
the city signed the petition to permit
the selling of whisky. Mr.. st. Johns
explanation was that he wanted liquor
sold legally by the druggists. In an in
slant the house was in an uproar and
heated questions We're thrust at the pro-
hibition champion from every quarter.
The questions finally came so thick and
fast that no answers could be given and
the ex-governor retired.
