The Rectum, Its importance,

The Rectum is one OF the most important

The nng1ish Armx once.

In olden days in England the army
and the church were the only callings
that could in any way be considered
aristocratic, for they claimed almost q
monopoly Of physical and mental pow
er. Times have changed, but the pow
ers that decide what is and what is
not aristoeratic are intensely conserva-
tive, and they still uphold the claims Of
tile army to distinction of this sort
The soldier. as attached by service
to his sovereign. the recognized head
of the aristocracy, is an acknowledged
supporter and member of that class.
The military element represents the
physical force Of the country. TO which
IN any extremity the final appeal must
be made, and so Its officers are part

Commend us to the ever tranquil

cles, as is to be expected in fortified

front, shading the Indian red brick
behind, with it's bright white window

Nothing is more suggestive of tran
Gull repose and old fashion. They
stretch along the broad canal before

lie together alongside. Even in very

Table Mountain Ropeway.

The ropeway located at Table noun.

example of a line $3.50 feet long. II
consists Of a single fixed rope, on
which one carriage is drawn to and
fro with an endless hauling rope. the
driving gear having reversing motion
SO that the direction Of travel of the
carrier can be controlled. Commenc-
ing at sea level and following the
ground on posts spaced about 300 feet
apart, the cable takes a span of 1.50O
feet, rising to q projecting rock some
1,4S0 feet above, the starting point.
Resting on support at this point, the
cable again takes O span Of 1,40O feet
to an upper terminal 1900 feet above
the lower one. This ropeway has work
ed so satisfactorily that it is not only

the division if the people want it,
which is really a very diplomatic
state of mind for him to be in. But
Mr.. Thomas is always cool, always
conservative. He is now serving his
fourth term as assemblyman, and is
one of the soundest and safest mem
bers of the popular branch. He is a
Welshman, but came over with his
parents when only years of age, SO

maybe and yet miss it. Orphaned at
| Z, he came to Wisconsin with friends
at II and settled in the very town in
| Chippewa county where he has since
resided-save for time during the
grave period of the civil war when he
was in the thickest of it at the front.
He was with the 36th Wisconsin vol
unteers, a very badly riddled regi-
ment before the trouble was finally
ended, and was with Grant before Rich
mond and Petersburg. Then he came
home and in due time found himself
honored, one after another. with
about all the offices at the option of
his neighbors-town clerk, secretary
of the school board. town treasurer,
supervisor, county treasurer, chair
man of the county board, president
and secretary of the county agricul-
tural society and at last solon on the
'indeterminate sentence" plan. 1t is
an interesting fact and one of quite
an unusual character that Mr.. Thomas
should have been on only two stand
ing committees during his entire SER
vice-on railroads and on dairy and
food At the present time he is chair
man of the railway committee. as he
was also two years ago. 1t will be
surprising if. with his varied expert
ence in public affairs. his great popu-
larity and extended acquaintanceship
he does not eventually discover him
self in still higher office. AS farm

HAVE THE CHINESE YIELDED?
Dispatch From Pekin SO Declares
German Press lntimates That
WaIdersee Will Make No Move,
but Would Impress on Chinese
Danger of Procrastination.

Washington, Feb. 20-Minister
Conger has been instructed by cable
to communicate to the foreign minis
tiers at Pekin the feeling of the United
States government that furher hostile
expressions should not be INDUCED in
at this time. This action was taken
by the state department after cabi-
net discussion had developed the atti-
tude oft he administration. 1t is un-
derstood this course is regarded as
| the best. since it left room for another
appeal to the powers directly through
their foreign offices, in case Conger's
efforts were futile.
Says Chinese Have Yielded.
London, FeD. 20.-Dr Morrison,
wiring the Times from Pekin, says:
"The Chinese declare that the threat
of the Waldersee expedition has been
successful and that the court has
yielded and issued O. decree fully COM
plying with the demands of the for
eign ENJOYS on the question Of pun
ishments. These statements require
confederation, but they are generally
believed here"
What Expeditio" Means.
Berlin, Feb. 20.-The National lei
tung and other inspired papers assert
that Field Marshal Count Won Valdez
see has no intention of embarking on
a. large expedition into the interior of
China; but they say the Chinese will
find strong forces ready to act if they
continue to procrastinate. Won Wal
dersee's sphere of action it is pointed
out is limited to the province of Chilli
1t is understood Ambassador White
made representations yesterday to the
foreign Office regarding the reputed
expedition of Count Won Waldersee
into the interior of China and that the
foreign Office gave him reassuring re-
plies. 1t is understood the foreign
Office told White such expeditions
were designed chiefly to convince the
Chinese government that the powers
would not be trif1ed with.

Omaha, Neb., Feb. 20.--One of the
three men in the Cudahy kidnapping
plot has been arrested. Edward
Cudahy, Jr., yesterday positively iden-
titled the prisoner. He said: "This
is the man who asked me to get into
the wagon. There is no doubt about
it; he is the man." The mans name
is Callahan.
Daniel H. Burris, who sold a horse
and buggy to two men, who are sup
posed to have used 1T to procure the
abduction, also identified Callahan as
one of the men with whom he made
the deal. Marie Larson, a servant in
the employ of J. N. Patrick, of whom
the kidnappers rented the house, says
he is the man who paid the months
rent in advance for the cottage in
Happy Hollow, which the bandits
abandoned two weeks before abduc-
ton, Callahan was arrested by Patrol
men Deuberry and Dwyer, both of
whom are old acquaintances OF the
prisoner Cudahy feels confident the
police now have one of the right men
and that other arrests of equal i'm
portance will follow.
