Washington, July 25.-The japanese
government has served formal notice
on the state department that it claims
possession of Marcus island, towatd
which is now headed an American ex-
petition under Captain Rosehill with
. purpose of exploiting its guano de-
posts. Regarding it as extremely de-
sirable that no collision occur, the
state department has taken measures
to advise Captain Russell. and he must
offer no resistance if he should fall in
with Japanese warship headed for
the island.
Rosehill landed on this island thir-
teen years ago. He put up sign and
deposited bottle, setting forth claims
for the island, erected a flagpole and
ran up a United States flag, and then
left the island, leaving it unoccupied.
a fact which may vitiate his title. OF
these facts he informed the state de-
partment, but he neglected for many
years to file in the treasury department
the bond required by guano island
laws. In fact this bond was only
filed within the last year. Meanwhile,
finding q deserted island, some Japan
ese landed and began to take away
the guano, and the Japanese hold that
their title is good.
The Jananese warship carried
message from the government to Rose
hill. and as it will probably reach
Marcus island, distant only 1000 miles
from Yokohama, before the Rosehili
schooner, which sailed from Honolulu.
1000 miles distant, it is expected that
there will be no clash between the
schooner and the Japanese coolies now
on the island.

Yokohama. July 25.-It is officially
announced that the Japanese cruiser
Kasagi will take the diplomatic agent
of Japan to Marcus. The explanation
is that 1t is the desire of the govern
ment to respect the Japanese resident
and convince them that Rosehill's
claim is untenable. 1t is asserted here
that the island was annexed to Japan
in 1893, and it was discovered by a
Japanese subject in 1879.

his right hand from the effects of a
handshake with a friend whom he

place several months ago, and the

hard that several small bones were
broken and afterward causing a can

with roses, thus ushering in the
happy day. The ceremony occurred
at high noon and was conducted by
Rev. ]. H. Morley, president of Far
go College, father of the groom.

bowers of beauty, wild honeysuck1e,
ferns and roses dropping and bloom
ing in profusion under the skillful
hands of Miss Richter of Minneapo-
lis, niece of the bride, who also
served as maid of honor. Frank
Morley of st. Paul. brother of the
groom, was best man. Misses Yer
ma and Pearl, Colton's daughters,
acted as flower girls, scattering
roses in the path of the bride and
groom, and Miss Irma Armstrong of
River Falls played softly Lohen-
grin'S bridal chorus. The ceremony
was followed by a wedding break
fast after which the happy pair took
carriage for parts unknown to avoid
the rice and old shoes which were
in hot pursuit. Good bye, Evna
and Ned; see you later in Jordan,
MINI. Numerous presents evinced
the high regard of their friends for
the welded pair. Present from a
distance were: Frank H. Carleton
and wife of Minneapolis, Rev. w. A.

lev, O. E. Whitcomb and wife of

Manual Training in the Normal.

AT the annual meeting of the
Board Of Regents of Normal Schools
held in Madison on Monday and
Tuesday of this week it was decided
to establish Manual Training for
the Model Grades in the Normal.
The form of work will be joinery
and an equipment for that purpose
will be ordered at once and placed
in readiness for the opening of the
school August IS.
The building is already we'll
arranged for such an addition to the
school appliances, owing to the fact
that there is large and suitable
room in the basement, not at present
in use. One additional teacher will
be needed for this work. Ample
appropriation was made by the
Board to secure a satisfactory equip
ment and pay for the services of the
teacher.

Sickness and patent medicines are

what the proprietors claim there
would be little sickness and conse-
quently dearth ofpatent medicines.
