Owing to the extremely cold weather
farmers out here are very much be-
hind hand with their spring work. 1t
has been stated that the heavy frosts
last week killed the fruit, but with the
exception of few of the cherries, the
fruit is not very materially damaged.
Not in years has there been such q
prospect for a heavy mast, which will
greatly benefit those who are in close
proximity to the range.
Wheat looks fairly well, but mead
ows are very far behind the average
for this season of the year.

DAMN militarism! say |. 1t is un-
righteous, it is brutalizlng, it is devil
ish in its every attribute and %tendencgr-
1t ignores every virtue saAtmaS.
physical courage, and r tive 'na' o.
code of "honor" is yor'even its very
Christian peopl pea disgrace to a
one law-th4 -. 1t recognizes but
one end 'l4t of fOrce-and seeks but
wi..ha-that of self. 1t thrives only
tn bloodshed, with tears and with
suffering. To everything that tends
to brighten the world, to lead men
toward the heaven that God has
promised the righteous, it is sworn
enemy. 1t takes from the pathway OF
life it's flowers and plants thorns in
stead. Friends and fellow-citizens,
let me give you n specimen OF the
fruit grown upon this accursed tree OF
militarism, and then say if | have used
one word in this connection too pro-
nounced in its harshness. The Incl
dent occurred in Germany-whose i'm
perial government is the epitome of
m%ilitarism. An upstart of the navy, a
cadet, met an a~rtilleryman, a private;
they had been schoolmates. The pri-
vate offered his hand to his superior"
instead OF saluting him according to
the military code. For this the cadet
ordered the artilleryman to a police
station, and on the way murdered him
with his sword. One of the witnesses
says that the artilleryman was about
to enter a beer hall in Essen with the
witness when the cadet encountered
him. The artilleryman was slightly
inebriated. Neither he nor the wit
ness saw the cadet until the cadet ap-
preached in a hectoring manner and
said to the ar~tilleryman: "You failed
in your duty by not saluting me; ac-
company me to the police station"
The artilleryman was surprised, but
said nothing, and attempted to pass
along the street. The cadet pursued
! with drawn sword, easily overlook
him, struck him fat on the head,
making him reel, and then drove the
blade into his back. The artillery
man fell in a heap, bleeding both from
the head and back. 1t all happened
in an instant. There was no provoca-
tion whatever. The cadet was per-
fectly cool and seemed to feel proud
when he saw the artil1eryman fall.
When a noncommissioned officer came,
the cadet said vauntingly: ~ did this.
When / draw my sword blood must
flow. This man insulted me by re-
fusing to salute and ~endeavored to
escape arrest. | had to defend an
officers honor at all COSTS | quote

THIS '%'boodling" business is bad
enough, goodness knows; but there
have been other lapses from virtue.
To read the Globe Democrat these days
one would think there had never been
a ''star route scandal or a ''whiskey
ring" and that Democrats only were
guilty OF wrong doing, or rather that
malfeasance in office was a con-
comitant solely of Democratic rule.
The CD. has a forehead of brass and
a lack of conscience that would do
credit to His Satanic Majesty.

Yesterday Sylvester was going into the house when he was struck on the head with a bottle by the boarder up stairs. Two deep cuts were made on his head in which several stitches were taken. stann intends to have his assailant ar rested.
 Constable Pryor is meeting with much success in his trip about Brook, lyn to round up all the unlicensed dogs Many are the places where the dogs are hidden just at this time. Of course the cellar is the favorite, but num- Der of persons think the cellar is not safe enough and place their pets in the garret, while others send the dear little animals out to the country where they remain with friends during the month of May. The change of air is good for their health and for their owners pock- etbooks. Perhaps Constable Pryor wouldn't discover so many unlicensed dogs except for the fact that neighbors who have dogs concealed are very sus- picious. So one tells on the other and quits even.
 This is the season when even slight neglect of the health may lead to chronic disability. A cough or cold considered of no account is the fore runner of dreaded consumption. Even though you think you are all right, spring tonic as an invigoratcr is re- quired. Our cough syrup has proved a boon to hundreds this winter. For anything else you need call on A. 0. Walker, the druggist. 756 Bank street.

Not withstanding the numerous and fatal accidents the children persist in indulg- ing in the dangerous sport.

RUSSIA'S ATTITUDE.
Claims She Has Violated No Pledges
 Given.

 Given. WASHINGTON, May 1.-The re- reipt by the state department from Minister Conger of confirma ton of the dispatch from Peking that the Rus- | sians re-entered Newchwang and then retired has brought relief to strained situation. and it has been decided by the department that there is no longer occasion for action, even diplomatical- ly, at this stage.
 Count Cassini in the course of his talk with Secretary Hay earnestly i'm pressed on the secretary his conviction that the Russian government had lived up to it's agreements, and in view of these representations Secretary Hay did not hesitate to dissipate the im- pression which might have existed that there remained any need for diplomat ic action relative to Manchuria by the United States, Great Britain and Ja- pan.
 The situation consequently lapses back to where it was after the original Russian disclaimer which followed the demands on China two weeks ago, and for the present the attitude of the United States government will be sim ply one of observance. Count Cassini said:
 When the whole truth is known it will be found that Russia has not vio- lated single pledge made to any na- ton, nor does she intend to do so. Moreover, whatever steps have been taken in Manchuria gre only in self de fense."
 MT. Takahira, the Japanese minister, in long interview with Secretary Hay at the state department manifested deep concern over the Manchurian sit uatton. but declared that the legation was without official advices, in the ab- sence of which he did not care to dis cuss the matter. There is an intima- ton that Japan is disappointed at the character of the support she has re- ceived from other powers up to this time in her efforts to stop Russia's al- legged aggression.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 1.-The foreign office here strongly deprecates the excitement concerning Manchuria. It believes that mischief makers are responsible for the reports from there and says that the arrival of troops at Newchwang was due to the retirement of troops from Moukden province southward instead of northward. The troops depart by sea. The other all legged warNke preparations of Russia are ridiculed.
