WHAT ENGLAND MUST DO.
Before She Can Obtain "Stand In"
With Russia

New York, Nov. 1s.-Discussing the
possibility of an Anglo-Russian under
standing, the Paris Journal Des Debats,
quoted by the Paris correspondent of
the London Times and New York Times
says two conditions are indispensable:
First, Great Britain must cease to
thwart Russian policy; secondly, she
must cease to thwart French policy
where the two powers are destined TO
live side by side.
After commenting on editorial ar
ticle in the London Times of last Sat
urday regarding the Importance of the
Persian gulf to British interests, the
Journal Des Debats insists again On the
necessity of the British showing the
same conciliatory spirit toward France
as toward Russia
The paper concludes with an express
sion of it's belief that by means of con-
ditions equally acceptab BILE to both Rus
STA and France. an understanding be-
tween Great Britain and the Dual alli-
ance would be possible.

SUIT OVER A COURT HOUSE
Question Whether Garfield Township
Owns One or Not

Garfield township, Finney county,
which in the boom days was a whole
county by itself. is making night IN IN
the supreme court for the possession of
a court house in which court never
sat and which was never used for
county offices.
Away back in the early eighties when
the territory now comprising Garfield
township was included in Hodgeman
county, the townsite of Ravanna was
laid out Among other things an elab-
crate system of parks was cOntem-
plated for the town and certain blocks
were set aside for park purposes The
boom was and the town fiourished-
In two or three years the county be-
came so thickly settled that Garfield
county was organized and Ravanna
was made the county seat. The county
purchased one Of the parks for a
court house site. and a $4,000 court
house was erected
Before the court house was completed,
however, a county seat war came on
and the county seat was moved to Emil
hence The hard times followed and the
settlers left the country until there
was hardly anyone left. The supreme
court dissolved Garfield county in 1898.
and the legislature made it a part of
Finney county and called it Garfield
township.
In the meantime D. w Herman had
obtained quit claim deed to the block
on which the court house was located,
and he has been farming it. The town
ship officers claim the township was the
successor of Garfield county and all it's
property went to the township. Re-
Gently the township officers claim that
Herman is tearing down their court
house and converting it to his own use
They brought an injunction suit to stop
him. They got their restraining order
all right, but when it came to making
the injunction permanent the Finney
county district court baked and re-
fused to do it, giving Herman judgment
for costs The case is now appealed to
the supreme court to grant the in
junction.
H. F. Mason, who is candidate for
the Republican nomination for asso-
ciate justice next year, is attorney for
the township

PAGE TELLS ABOUT IT.
Referee Explains Washburn-Medic
Middle.

H W. Page, referee of the washburn-
Medic football game Saturday, made the
following statement today:
At the time the question of the last
offside play came up Mr. Findlay, the
umpire. ruled that there was no offside
play, and 1 think he was honest in his
ruling, because he was in a position where
he could not see the man when he was
offside on account of a number of play

player. / was asked if the man was Off
side when the ball put in play. and
it was offside play. because l was in
a position, being on the same side that
offside play was made on, to see it dis
tinctly.
"The umpire, under the rules, has full
power to the offside plays. Some of

his ruling accordingly. for the reason [

up the rules on that point Nearly four

that he correct under the rules. the

MAKES A DISCOVERY.
Professor Learns Som ething Which
He Regards as important.

Boston, Nov. 1S.-Prof. f. c. Pickering,
director of the Harvard observatory, has
made a discovery that he regards as i'm l.
portant. In a statement just out he says:
1.-The spectrum of a streak of lightning
was photographed last July. From such
a small beginning two discoveries have
developed. Not only are the chemical
elements so-called compounds, but it is
likely that hydrogen itself, which chemi-
cal theorists have thought to be the one
element of which the others would sooner
or later prove to be compounds, seems to
be of composite nature
Other photographs made at about the
same time show the curious fact that he
spectrum of lightning is not always the
same. Some of the photographs show a
doubling of the bright lines. Professor
Pickering was at first inclined to believe
that this was a sort of composite photo
doubling looks as though hydrogen the
only element studied in the lightning
spectrum. and hitherto believed to be
least likely ever to be proved compound
body is made up of at least three COM
ponents.
This conclusion he bases upon the fact
that there were thirty lines in the hydro
gen spectrum on one photograph, three in
another and one in the third, the different
flashes having been photographed under
different circumS tanceS-
Another remarkable circumstance in
connection with the study of the Picker
ing spectrum of lightning flashes is that
they are similar to that of the second
new star in the constellation PerSeus,
known as Nova Persei No. 2, which were
taken on March 49, 1901

MUSIC Is WARM.
Cantata of "Moses" Meets an Enthusi-

New York, Nov. 1S-Particulars of
the Able Perosi's new dramatic can-
tata Moses which reached London
from Milan, show that the first per-
Torrance on Saturday night was a great
success, says the Tribune's London COR
respondent. The music is described by
a Telegraph correspondent as warm
and full of pathos. There are some
"reminiscences of Beethoven and of
Wagner-a few melodious phrases, in
deed, wildly recalling the ''Walkyrie"
and "Parsifal," which Perosi has evil

and the whole finale, expressing the

Egyptians struck by the anger of the
Jehovah and the song of the Jews per-
forming the sacrifice of the lamb. was
