Yanko Island.

That there should be room for
discovery Of an island in the sea Of
Japan at this time of day seems
hardly credible. 1t would almost
be as much expected to make a dis
covery Of the kind in the Caribbean
sea. Yet, according to the Nichi
Nichi, Japanese paper regarded as
reliable, it appears that an island
was discovered at a point between
Ul-long-do, island Of Korea, and the
Oki archipelago, about 80 miles off.
No maps heretofore have the
island referred to. 1t is described
as two miles long and about the
same in width. Trees and grass are
there, and it contains many inlets,
aflording good anchorage. The
island was discovered by a fisherman
about a year ago, he finding the
waters about it fairly alive with sea
horses. The new island is called
Ianko by the fishermen of Japan
and Korea.-Montreal Star.

Before they had travelled 80 miles
condolences were exchanged, and

ised the posto'lice to both Of them
during the last campaign and had
told them to come to Washington
shortly before the term of the pres

were inclined to turn back home,
but after discussing the subject
awhile they concluded that they
would 60 on to Washington and
confront Stanings with his duplc-

COUNTRY POLICE or MEXICO.

The rurales are the country po-
lice Of Mexico, and their like does
not exist in any other country.
Their organization was a stroke Of
diplomacy on the part of President
Diaz. II was in the seventies. when
the country had been infested for
years with banditti, that he offered
amnesty to all these highway rob
bers who would enlist in his service,
and guaranteed them a salary larger
than that received by cavalrymen in
any other part of the world. They
knew every nook and corner of the
country, were fearless and expert in
horsemanship and the use of fire
arms.
The president wisely discerned
that such qualities could be of pecul-
lar value to him if rightly directed.
The bait tempted them, for it was
more reliable than their precarious
way of gaining a livelihood, and Of
fered honor instead of the constant
danger of imprisonment and death
that had been their portion. They
accepted the proposition unanimous
ly, and have served the administra-
ton so zealously and efficiently that
brigandage- throughout Mexico is
almost entirely thing of the past,
and crime in general is much less
frequent than before.-Oyerland

over it, and both retired at once, as

what each contained The contents

il seemed like a'pretty hopeless coll

"The purchaser told me that he
had sold nearly all Of his cans at a
good profit and the very uncertainty
about the contents was a temptation

Household Linen.

Buy household linen Of The best
quality and commence housekeeping
with a good supply. No part of the
furnishings Of a home marks the re-
fnement of a woman character as
does the quality Of her house linen.
The best linen is the most eco
nomical. for, though its cost ut first
is greater, the extra expense is paid
for in wear and appearance. 1t
should hardly be necessary to say
table linen should receive the best Of
care, yet very often beautiful dam
ask is spoiled long before it has had
even a short reign. Carelessness in
folding is accountable i'm part for
this, and the neglect of stains acci-
dentally made during meal and not
infrequenty when the table is clear-
ed is as fatal as the faults of the
laundry. Vegetable, wine and fruit
stains should be removed as soon
after they are made as possible with
warm chlorine water and then rinsed
well in ammonia water or warm
soapsuds. Almost every sort Of
stain can be removed if treated
properly and at the time it is made.

 dering the printing done? Did he print them without au- thority? If so, he is guilty and should be punished. But did he? Is it not a fact that the order to print the prison report, the insane asylum report, the normal school report. the sanitary board report were one an1 all given to The Republican by the boards in control of such institutions? If this work was given to The Republican by these boards what has the auditor to do with it? Why should he be investi- gated? Dos Parkhurst Ives and the holy and virtuous Mills claim that the auditor had no right to pay these print ing bills? If so. has he a right to pay any bills? Is there any law authorizing the auditor to issue warrants in pay ment of any bill?
 If the goodygoo firm of Ives Mills had the sense of cracked louse 1t would know that the territorial audi tor, in issuing warrants in payment of these printing bills was acting under the laws of Arizona. Let them Iovn at section IS of an act entitled "An Act to Codify and Revise the Laws With Reference to Live Stock" passed by the Eighteenth legislative assembly. 1895. Let them examine section 149l, section 24S2; section 2iS3 of the Revised Statutes of 1887.
 These sections declare in each case, in re gard to each of the territorial in- stitutions, as follows: 'The terri toria! auditor shall then draw his war rant on the territorial treasurer for the respective amounts set forth in each certified account, and the treasurer shall pay the samc as other territorial warrants are paid"
