few even of our young and most en-

and we think We can safely say that
Mr.. Hughes is the only man of his
age in Japan who could with any pros

Owing to the recent increase in
postage, a noticeable decrease is seen
in the amount Of mail matter and tel
egrams. During April the Tokyo Post
and Telegraph Office dealt with 419,15i
letters and s4s.773 postal cards, which
means a decrease OF 26.3 per cent in
letters and 25.5 per cent in postal
cards as compared with the figures OF
the preceding month, and a decrease
of 1873 per cent in letters and 40 per
cent in postal cards as compared with
April of last year. The number OF
kilograms transacted in the same Office
during the first half of last month
also shows diminution OF rs per
cent in dispatches, 25.2 per cent in ar
rivals, and 24.4 per cent in transmits
sions, as compared with the CORE
spending period of last year.

A good second hand
thresher for sale, by A.
Graf.

Someone played a low down, mean
trick on Ed Tinkham last Sunday.
Ed owns private boat Gu Slate creek
and Sunday afternoon he took two
young ladies to the creek for a boat
ride. lie noticed that the boat was
unusually hard to row. 1t was all he
could do to move it, but he laid it to
the weight of the girls and mentally
kicked himself for taking two Of them.
de taxed himself to the utmost 10
row the boat and the sweat rolled of
him like water, with the thermom-
eter at 80 degrees in the shade.
Finally, after he had about worn
himself out, the boat snagged itself in
the middle OF the stream and the
cause of the unusual weight gradually
dawned upon him. He ran his arm
under the boat and felt a rope drawn
taut. 1t was all clear to him now.
Someone had put screw in the bot.
tom Of the boat and attached a hun
dred pound weight. The rore was
cut and the boat rOwed rs easily as if
upon a sea of oil. Ed is doing the
detective act trying to find out who
played the trick on him.

The Black Plague Crossing the Waters.

The steamer Nippon Maru arrived
at San Francisco yesterday from Hong
Kong via Yokohama and Honolulu.
The vessel was detained at Honolulu
for several days on account of two
deaths having occurred on the vessel
from the bubOnic plague. When the
Maru entered the San Francisco port
under the yellow flag the vessel was
ordered to the quarantine station.
All Of the passengers were landed Un
Angel island and neither doctors nor
customs officers were allowed on

applied to some Of her more important
papers and they were sent ashore. 1t
is reported that Japanese woman
died two days ago from the plague
after an illness Of but a few hours
duration, but whether this report is
true or not cannot be ascertainsd.
The Maru will be kept 10 quarantine
for some time, probably several weeks.
She carries ffty.fve cabin passengers
of whom six are Europeans, and 13e

The Court Of Visitation Attacked.


ln motion to dismiss a suit in IL e
court OF visitation, a. A. Hurd, gen.
eral attorney OF the Atchison, Topeka
x Santa Fe Railway company, attacks
the econstitutionaity of the legislature
creating that tribunal.
Some time ago the people OF Ccrliss,
johnson county, filed a formal com
plant against the Santa Fe for not
maintaining a telegraph operator at
their town. A. j. Myatt, the state
solicitor, held that the Corliss people
had just cause of action, and at
once nled suit in the court Of vista
tlon TO cOmpel the company to main.
tain an operator for their accommoda.
tion.
Mr. Hurd yesterday filed the COM
pany's answer in the form of motion
to dismiss the suit. He said:
"The AtchisOn, Topeka & Santa Fe
Railway company protests against the
jurisdiction and authority Of the
cOart Of visitation and the persons
composing the same to hear, try and
determine any complaint against the
defendant under the provisions OF an
act Of the legislature of the state Of
Kansas entitled, AN act Creating a
Court Of Visitation, declaring its juris.
dictlon and powers, and providing for
proceedings and procedure therein,
approved January 3, 1899, for the
reason that said act and each and
every part thereof is in contraventioH
OF the provisions Of section l6, article
2, constitution of the state Of Kansas,
and is void, and confers no authority
or Jurisdiction upon the persons con-
stituting said court OF visitation to
hear, try or determine the matters
and things in said information set
forth, or any Of them"
Section l6, article 2, of the constitu.
tion, to which Mr.. Hurd refers. pro
vides: "No bill shall contain more
than one subject, which shall be
clearly expressed iu It's title"
Mr.. Hurd claims that the court Of
visitation bill contains numerous sub
jects.
The company says that it does mo-
maintain a telegraph agent at Corliss
| for the reason that there is not sufi
cient business to justify the expens,
| OF such service. COrliss is a mile AM
a quarter from DeSota where tn
Santa Fe maintains an agent. How
ever the company has depot a
Corfss AMI person who looks afte
the sale of tickets, and handles tn
freight.
The motion to dismiss will be ar
gued Monday, Mr.. IIurd representa-
the company, and Mr.. Myatt, tn
state,
II the court of visitation holds tha
it has jurisdiction the company it
understood, will commence an injunC
tiOn suit in the supreme court to pre-
vent the visitation tribunal fror
: proceeding with the case.
