EXPLANATORY TALK OF an OFFICIAL
4 Report That China Has Signed the Man
churis Conventional Company Of Ger
mans Defeats Large Body Of
Chinese Robbers.

London, April 3.-"Russia's reply
to Japans protest against the Man
churian convention" says the Yoko-
hama correspondent of the Daily
Mail, "is regarded as unsatisfactory
and further vigorous representations
will follow. Prince Konoyo Atsuma-
70, president of the house Of peers, IN
the course Of an infammatory speech,
openly discussed the probable results
of war between Japan and Russia
and said that Japan could count upon
the friendly neutrality of Great Brit
ain and Germany. He declared that
the United States would not interfere
and that France would only cause I'm
easiness by the employment of her
Annamese forces and by naval
demonstration off Formosa. This, lie
predicted, would be the limit of
French action, and therefore Japan's
vastly superior army would be tn
abled without great difficulty to drive
Russia out of Manchuria."

the Manchurian convention will be
ratified in the course of the next five

AUTOMOBILE SERVICE.
Seth Bottomley Proposes a System of
Rapid Transit for Mankato.

Mayor Currier has received a letter
from Seth Bottomley, Martin county
farmer with anti-corporation proclivi-
ties, in which The writer advises that
an automobile service be established
in Mankato in the place of electric
cars as proposed. He suggests that
the city own and operate these and
charge three cents mile. To back up
his opinion, he sends some marked
copies of newspapers from England
containing articles on similar service
there. He proposes that two auto
mobiles be operated, to run on loop
to include Front street as far as Elm,
and thence to the Standard brewery,
and back to form loop
Mr.. Currier will turn the letters and
papers over to DR.. Andrews. He does
not believe that any public method
of transit would be a profitable in
vestment at the present time, as it not
enough people would patronize it. He
does think, however, that it would
be profitable investment for the
city to put in plant to- light streets
and public buildings.

MANKATO BOY JOINS.
Chas. Flanagan a Member of an Anti
MatrimOny League.

Wednesdays Chicago American
contains the following, which will
interest the friends Of Chas. Flanna,
gan, former resident of Mankato and
graduate of the high school:
Alarmed at the epedimic of matri :
mony which is rife among divinity
students at the University of Chicago,
thirteen ''theologs' have banded
themselves together into secret or
ganization for the purpose of subject
ing those members who may contem-
plate entering the connubial state to
penalties calculated to make them
hesitate and turn back.
For some time the frequency of mar
riage among the divinity students has
been a matter of comment about the
campus and a cause of great concern
to President Harper and the faculty.
DIR. Harper is strenuously opposed to
his students marrying while still in
college, as he believes that it inter
feres with their work at the univer-
sity and consequently there is number
ed among the faculty regulations one
which decreeds that divinity student
who marries shall be deprived of any
scholarship which he may hold.
Prominent among the-other members
of the league is Chas Gibson Flanna-
gan, the big guard on the football
team, who is one of the leading can
didates for the part of Orlando in the
open-air production of "As You Like
It., which the students are planni ng
to give on the campus next June.
The members of the organization
are keeping its existence as quiet as
possible, as they, fear that they will
be boycotted by the co-eds if its pur-
pose becomes generally known.
Although they have pledged them
selves to celebacy during their uni
versity career, the thirteen recoil from
the prospect of social isolation from
the gentler sex and the loss of the pop
ularity which they now enjoy at the
women's halls.

HOW TO ADVERTISE.

A short talk with a successful bust
ness man the other day drifted into
advertising. He said he had tried
nearly all kinds of advertising with
varying success, and had, years ago,
settled down to one plan, that of the
newspaper. Suppose l wish to reach
900 families in the country and 1 do
it by circulars or bills. l must first
pay for the printing and paper. Then
[ must purchase thousand envelopes
and pay at least $40 for stamps. Then
I must fold, direct and stamp the Cir
culars. all of which cost me twice as
much as it would to publish the same
in a newspaper having a good local
circulation. Then, many of my cir
culars would be thrown in the waste
basket without being read, and in no
case will one reach more than one
member in a family. On the other
hand the same advertisement in a
newspaper of general circulation, will
be read and reread by the members of
the family, and their neighbors will
read it, so that it reaches much
farther than circulars. The poorest re-
turns for money spent is that of scat
tering bills about the street. My ex-
perience is to write out what l wish
to say to the public the same as I
l. e.so on1 i,,ct fr,1f h
fully, and have it published in local
papers that circulate in the country or
locality where my customers reside.
That is the cheapest and best paying
advertisement a merchant can use.
Fake advertisements given to solicitors
is so much money thrown away.
Newspaper advertising is far better
than any other.

HAS NOT SOLD.
SauIpaugh Says That He is Still Owner

he to a Minneapolis Journal reporter :

who says to me, Saulpaugh, that am
out of it. Allow me to say that l have
not sold out my interests in the Min
neapolis baseball club. Mr.. Beall has
not bought me out. Will remain in?
Why, certainly, unless sell out, but
l haven't sold out yet by several Jug
fulls. 1 am still in the ring as mem
Der of the Western association
The magnate admitted that Messrs.
Beall and Hickey conferred with him
no later than Tuesday afternoon, on a
proposition touching the sale of GER
tain baseball rights, but that he had
not accepted the same.
The following story bearing on the
above comes from St. Paul:
Manager Saulpaugh displayed the
cloven hoof yesterday in his interviews
with President Hickey and A. b.
Bean of the Western league, who en-
deavored to reach some understanding
respecting Nicollet park. Saulpaugh
has lease on the Minneapolis grounds
till July 1, after which Manager Beall
is to be in charge. Mr.. Beall, who
will have the ball team at Minneapolis
next season, is DESTROYS of having full
swing from the start. He is willing
to arrange with Saulpaugh for the in
term between the opening of the sea-
son and July 1, but the latter would
not enter into negotiations.
AS matter of fact, Saulpaugh has
no rights whatever to the grounds,
having failed to meet all the require
ments of his lease, so that he cannot
block the entry of Manager Beall, how
ever good his intention may be in that
direction.
III. M. Carpenter, owner of the park,
is anxious to toss Saulpaugh in the
air.
