see all the companies comprising the regi-.
ment established and in good shape to take
up routine work tomorrow. This regiment
3camped at Council Bluffs last year and had
a very large attendance. Colonel Hurnphries
was unable to be present last year, owing to
the lateness Of the encampment, the regiment
assembling in August He therefore made
application to have the encampnoent earlier

attend. Practically the same work as was
taken up last year will be the program for
this camp. y =. ,-

manent military reservation
Governor Culnnains will be here on Thurs
day, July 10, to review the regiment. It will

LINCOLN. NEB.
| Milton F. Lamaster, one of the wealthy
citizens of Lincoln, in the days Of his youth
enjoyed his hour Of folly. AS result he
has been hectored into a lunatic asylum and
his property is in the hands of the courts.
In the district court an application will be
made for a receiver to be appointed ITO look
after his possessions On the sworn afflda-
Wit of Mrs. Belle Meyer, formerly his house
keeper, the story of his life is revealed. La
master is a bachelor now past SO years of
age. Years ago he boarded in the family of
| a local physician. The name Of the latter
| is sedulously guarded. A scandal occurred.
| The home was broken up. One member of
! the family declared ,Lamaster must pay the
| penalty for his actions. Petty prosecutions
and demands for money followed. Time after
time Lamaster decided over property. After
each contribution the badgerng would be re-
newed Not long ago he was lured to Omaha.
| He came back penniless and forlorn. Then
! he began to make strange disposals of his
property. He suspected all his friends and
finally was placed in asylum at the re-
quest of his attorney.

EARLY JAPANESE CHRISTIANS.

WIN 1QGIG kuTCc
Hundred Years Ago.
From documents recently %uneartnad
in the Vatican archives it appears
that an embassy Of japanese CHRIS
tians visited the Pope Mt Rome early
III the seventeenth century. From these
documents G. Mitsukuri of the Univer-
sit& of Tokyo has drawn Il history,
heretofore untold, of the first Chris
tianization of Japan in the sixteenth
century. Il history which has interest
OF It's w and which il important IN
that 1t parallels the history of later
and existing missionary endeavor in
Japan INT China. and again cmplla-
sizes the mistakes and difficulties
which seem peculiar to such work. We
translate from the article by Mr.. Nit
sukuri i'll the Historischc Zeitschrift:
In 1919. eight years afser the dis
covery" of Japaa by the Portuguese.
Xavier, the Apostle of the Indies, came
Into the country TO preach the teach
ings of Christ and Mt the end af the
century the number of Christians
reached 100000. The reason for this
astonishing phenomenon were these:
When Xavier began his mission Japan
was divided into countless small prin-
cipalitles, continually at war with
each other. Buddhism and Shintoism,
then less separated than to-day, were
corrupt to Il degree. Hence the people
let themselves be rex lilly carried away
by the fresh and sturdy Christian
propaganda. But Il reaction agains,
this universal ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the
realm appeared. First Il prince. No
bunaga, called ENEMY of Bud6sa,"
/, because he attacked unsparingTy the
powerful Buddhist m~onasteries, show
ed the more favor to the Christian
teachings, in order to gain support
against the Buddhist priests. and the
new doctrine spread rapidly, especial
~ in the southern provinces.
But these favorable conditions were
not to last. In 1852 Nobunasa was
murdered. The attitude toward the
Christians of his successor, the power
full Hideyoshi, was very different, ana
persecution began, which was due part
ly to intrigues of the Ruddhists, the
arrogance of the Christian priests in
their attitude toward the ruler, and
the boasting declaration of a Spanish
ship captain that the mighty king of
Spain was sending his priests into
foreign lands in order first to convert
the people and through this means 10
make their conquest ore easy. But
the true eason was the desire for
unity among the Japanese.
The Christian priests used their pow
er to aid conversion by violence and
persecution. There was also strife and
jealousy between the different orders.
1t is. therefore. readily ineligible that
the ruler, led by an idea of unity plan
ned to remove the religious differences
and to rely rather on the older rclis-
ion. Buddhism, which retained It's hold
over the majority of the people. In
1857 Hideyoshi ordered the Catholic
priests to leave the country. To give
emphasis to the decree six monks and

not always true. Most of such persons
by their excuses nave been discarded
by friends and relatives, and find their
way time after time into the hands of
the criminal authorities. Their lives are
spent between the workhouse and wher-
ever they find their abiding places. Their
support, if not their care, becomes a
public charge. Everything is done to
punish item for an offense which they are
incapable of avoiding. Nothing whatever
is done to ameliorate their condition.
The problem is difficult one. But
that it is one of the pressing social prob
lens of the age every intelligent person
recognizes. If no other remedy is to be
found, these unfortunates, after their Sec
ond or third appearance in the police
court, and after it is established by medi-
cal examination that they are the vic
Tins Of disease, ought at least to be
confined continuously in the workhouse
if no other place is provided for some
period thought adequate to enable them
to overcome the disease from which they
suffer, and should be subjected to medi-
cal treatment on the part Of the munich
pal medical authorities during their con-
f1nement. To accomplish att least this
much very simple amendment OF ex-
listing laws will be sufficient.

FORM IN THE DUMPS.

The Democratic district attorney Of
Greater New York, William Travers Je-
rome, is likely to prove white elephant
on the hands of the Republican reform
administration of Mayor Low. He is a
most radical person, and evidently has
the needs of Republican municipal re-
form.
While that good man and Republican
reformer, Mayor Low, is deeply perturbed
in his soul on the subject of the Sunday
| saloon, and thinks that the saloon should
be kept open, lest the poor man. should
be deprived of his Sunday-beer, the Dem
ocratic reformer advises the city execu-
tive that for his part, as prosecuting
officer of the community, he is bound to
see that the saloons are closed, and If
they are not closed he declares he viii
prosecute the police captains Of the sew
| eral precincts in which they are allowed
to remain open for neglect Of duty, and
will push the cases Of such police cap
tains to immediate trial.
Such an avowed purpose has naturally
caused great sorrow in the camp of the
Republican reformers of the big metropo-
lis. But when it was supplemented recently
! rome that he will prosecute the negligent
captains, and close the Sunday saloon,
even if his conduct effects the ruin of the
administration of which he is a member.
the situation became positively threaten
ing
Of course this is not the only trouble
| Mayor Low has of his own Recently
he has been charged by his Republican
| followers with a desire to so order mu-
nicipal affairs as to place an important
department of city government wholly in
the hands of the Democratic officials Of
that body. He pleads civil service in ex-
| tenuation of his conduct, and his bench
men forthwith break into wicked impre-
cations on the whole civil service sham.
The hungry ofice-seeking hordes Of re-
form grow hungrier as the days grow
| longer; and there Is virtually nothing
with which the mayor can appease their
hunger. so many are they and so COM
paratively few and so lean are the pick
ings which he has to distribute.
Meanwhile the hayseed statesman of re-
| form turns deaf ear to the cry for relief
| that comes to him in his lair In the interi-
or of the state from his brethren OF New
York city He will not consent to the
open saloon. He will not consent to the
modification of law which he has cali
cd into being which says the saloon shall
be closed tight, while that delightful
