The twentieth Century.

We now stand at the threshold of the
twentieth century, and the nineteenth,
in whose one hundred years the great
est progress of the world has been made,
will be a thing of the past. 1t, will,
however, always be known as the cen
fury of invention and discovery, and
among some of the greatest of these, we
can truthfully mention Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, the celebrated remedy for
all ailments arising from a weak or dis
ordered stomach, such as dyspepsia, in
digestion, latulency, constipation and
biliousness. 1t has been without a
doubt one of the greatest blessings to
mankind during the past fifty years as
a tonic and health builder Many promi-
nent physicians prescribe and recommend

The Costs of Guerrilla Warfare.
From the Churchman.l

The guerrilla warfare in progress in
South Africa has robbed Lord Rob
erts's welcome of popular enthusiasm.
He alone has been signally successful,
but not even he has been able to make
of the British army a machine equal to
the most difficult task-how difficult
few critics realize. Napoleon occu-
pied Spain for five years at the open
ing of the century with 100000 men.
They had against them an enemy mis-
erably equipped and expert only in
guerrilla warfare. In these five years
the French army lost more men than
in any campaign except on the retreat
from MOSCOW, and utterly failed in its
task. Spain put 225,000 troops in Gu
ba, a region a fourth as large as the
theater of operations in South Africa,
and these troops were unable to sup
press about 10000 undisciplined Creole
negro guerrillas, whom our forces
found worthless as allies in regular
operations The United States has co.
600 men in the Philippines, and in the
first half of last year 6S1 encounters
took place, in which five officers and
119 men were killed and 35 officers
and SIT men wounded without restor.
ing order in the islands, where a SINH
lar series of small engagements have
been in progress for another half year.
The suppression of such guerrilla war
fare always tends to degenerate into
cruelty and wanton disregard of the
rights and security of noncombatants.
English newspapers are rife with dis
cussion of this phase of the South
African war, a discussion which is I'M
doubtedly having it's slow effect on
public opinion, always more quick to
respond to such arguments than des-
potic or bureaucratic government.

accompanied by the report that the
road is to be leased by the Great

the Erie was to have close relations
with the Great Northern and North

POLITICS WAS TO BLAME

Wichita, Kan, Jan. 5-Mrs. Mary
E. Lease has changed her mind about
suing her husband, Charles Lease, for
divorce. The suit which was pre-
pared two months ago was never filed
and never will be, unless the Leases
quarrel again.
Mrs. Lease has instructed her attor-
ney to proceed no farther with the
case. A reconciliation between Mr..
and Mrs. Lease was brought about by
their children, all of whom are now
of age and living in New York with
their mother. Mrs. Lease Will short
ly return to Wichita, quit politics and
settle down to domestic life.
Her husband said today: my wife
will not push the divorce case she
started. I never knew she was going
to file it until her attorney gave it to
the newspapers. She will return to
Wichita and live with me. We never
did have any quarrels, although / dis.
agreed with her ideas of politics and
reform. She will quit all that. Ou1
children have steady employment in
New York and will remain there"

NO PLACE FOR FAKIRS
Berlin Authorities Prevent a Pre-
tended American Dentist
from Practicing.

Berlin, Jan. 4-Franz Bernhard,
pretending to have a DOCTORS title
from the Academy of Illinois,, was
ordered by the police to remove his
title from his sign.
The case went into court and the
officials asked the German consul in
Chicago to investigate. He reported
that DR.. Winter and DR.. Ungelenk,
whose names figured in the diploma,
could not be found by him. The SUI
preme administrative court has now
dismissed Berhard's appeal on the
ground that the Academy Of Ill
inois'' is a fraud and that Winter and
Ungelenk are not entitled by the
American law to bear a DOCTORS title.
Bernhard's alleged doctorate was in
dentistry.

list Of IS appointments to the imperial
health Office, as recently enlarged.

OFFICIAL SPEAKS FOR NORTH
ERN PACIFIC OPERATORS.
RETURN HOME SATISFIED
Members Of Grievance Committee
Pleased with Success Of
Their Mission.

St. Paul, Mimi, Jan. George l..
Hampton of Tacoma, press reporter of
the grievance committee of Northern
Pacific telegraphers, which has been
negotiating with officials of that COM
pany since December 8, last evening
gave the Associated Press the follow
ing statement:
"You can say that we have finished
our negotiations with the railroad Off
Gals and are returning home very
we'll satisfied with the result.
"The statement that we are going
away disgruntled, and that a strike is
likely to occur is absolutely untrue.
General Manager Kendrick, who has
conducted the negotiations on the part
of the company, has been uniformly
courteous in his treatment of our COM
mittee, and while we have not been
able to secure everything we asked,
concessions have been made which are
highly important to us.
I'm the first place the company
agrees that every operator. day and
night, shall have eight consecutive
hours for rest. This is of great bene-
fit to stations where but a single
operator is employed, for under the
present system of calls he is liable to
be routed out at any time and his rest
broken in upon so that he is unfit for
duty.
"Then'we have secured a reduction
Of two hours in the time of split
trick men and an allowance Of an
hour for meals in each II hour trick.
This is something that has never been
allowed by the road. In the relay
offices from Duluth to the coast the
hours have been reduced from 8 to 50.
1.-The company was disinclined to
grant our request for recognition of
the Order Of Railway Telegraphers,
but have agreed to recognize us as a
body Of employees. That is practically
what we wanted. It does not make
any material difference whether we
are recognized as a labor organization
or not, so long as the company is
willing to treat with us as a body.
"The question of wages was one Of
minor Importance and WI are satisfied
it will be properly adjusted"

that he now can follow his own judy
ment in voting for a senator.

Further Developments Cause Re-
newal Of Demand for Judge
Noyes' Removal.

Washington, Jan. T. The Cape
Nome mining scandals have broken
out afresh in both branches Of con-
gress. There are new and rather SEN
s%ational developments, and in addi-
tions to the serious charges preferred
against Judge Arthur Noyes of Mime
apolis, G. E. Dickey, clerk of the dis
trict court, also a Minneapolis man, is
now under the fire.
1t is charged that Dickey, while act
ing i'll an official and confidential ca
pr city, violated the rules and regula-
lions of the court and gave away i'm
portant information to the San Fran
cisco syndicate, which is now pound
ing hard to have Judge Noyes removed
or ~impeached.
8 It is learned that Dickey has been
discharged as a clerk of the court in
Alaska.
The members Of the California dele
cation are opposed to any proposition
to have the congressional investiga-
tions postponed. Thus far nothing
has been done towards pressing either
the house or senate resolutions for an
Investigation and strong influences are
being brought to bear to tide matters
over until after congress %adjourns.
The men and influences who are de-
manding that Noyes be removed ap-
pear to be supremely confident that
they will make a strong case if they
are given the opportunity and if the
chance is denied them they insist that
they will issue statements that will
~startle not only congress, but every
body else. On the other hand, the
friends Of Noyes profess to be perfect
ly satisfied that they will be able to
show that all charges and allegations
against him have been inspired by sell
fish interests. They insist that mas
much as Judge Noyes is amenable to
the department of justice, that branch
of the government and not congress,
should make an investigation, and
have accordingly filed their case with
Attorney General Griggs.

Russian Papers Predict Further Trouble
in China,

st. Petersburg, Jan. 1.-The Novoe
Vremya characterizes the Chinese a G
ceptance of the peace terms of the
powers as being a formality due to
China's inability to oppose the Euro
pean armies. The paper adds that the
next catastrophe is probably not far
distant and that it will far surpass the
recent occurrences.
The entire Russian press prophesies
pessimistically and fiercely attacks the
German plunderlng, vandalism and
destruction of the libraries and other
monuments of the ancient civilization

Washington, Jan. 5-While the SEN

The amendments to the army reorgan-

of the contested amendments was con-

Dilatory tactics were employed by

consideration of matters that would
