Japanese Imitation.

The japanese are almost uni7ersallv
condemned by writers for the imita-
ton practiced by them of late wears
Of western literature, art, science and
invention. And yet this imitation
seems natural and right. Imagine. if
possible, the nation of Japan leaning
across the civilization OF hundreds Of
years in half a century. Think OF her
emerging from the darkness of the
middle ages and standing suddenly
forth in the light of the nineteenth
century. Would it not have been
worse than madness for her to have
said, This new civilization is better
than ours, yet we VIII not initiate if
We will retain our originality. ana per
haIs III ages to come We shall reach
the enlightened state now enjoyed bv
the rest of the world"
But fortunately the Japanese did nor
say :,,is. but gave themselves IN to the
acquisition of the wonderful stores Of
knowledge opened to them.

mi,ted Murder aud Suicide.

Ottawa, ILL.,, March GA double

Wood, of Chicago, appears to have
committed suicide after having shot
and killed an Ottawa woman, known as
Irene Bridor She spent last week in
Chicago and Wood followed her here.
The coroner is investigating. There are
rumors that a man from La Sale, ILL.,.
who was jealous of Wood, because of
his attentions to the woman, committed
the deed.
Chicago, March &C. A. Wood was
salesman for Covington, Ky.,whole-
sale liquor house. 1t is said that Wood
had been drinking heavily of late. 1t

of the woman as his wife. Jealousy is
believed to have caused the double
tragedy.

He secured an outfit, and reached
Dyea just as the severe blizzards be-
gan to rage on the trail. He was eau

in a fever to reach Dawson. A letter
was received today by Dalton Brothers,
produce merchants, from Charles L.
Greyson, their agent at Dyea, saying:

he came into town last Thursday
crawling over the trail on his hands
and knees. You would never know him,
for he is a total physical wreck. Both
his legs are frozen, and 1t is said they
have since been amputated."

ported of men without experience in
the north who have had limbs frozen
Oh the trail.
