THEY WANT ROBSON.
Morris County Stockmen Pass
Pointed Resolutions.

Council Grove, Kas., Oct. 12.-The live
stock men of Kansas propose to have
their interests looked after by state
officials as well as legislators. A meet
ing of the Morris County Live Stock
association was held Saturday. when
the following resolution was Introduced
unanimously:
Whereas, More than 80 per cent. of
the living of all the people of Kansas
depends directly or indirectly on the
live stock interests of the state. which
interests have heretofore lacked. proper
organization and protection: and
Whereas. The railroad managers.
terests of the stockmen and shippers
at heart, have attempted to put rates
and rules into effect which plainly show
their understanding and information
regarding live stock interests is sadly
incorrect or unreasonably selfish. We
believe the railroads and shippers.
whose best interests are really mutual
should both have fair play, and be-
lieve it can best be obtained by having
as a member of the board of railroad
commissioners a man who is identified
with and is thoroughly posted on the
varied live stock interests of the state
and also experienced as a shipper of
live stock. grain. etc, on a large SCALE
and acquainted with freight rates on
various commodities; therefore be it
Resolved. That believing J. W. Rob-
ison, of Ell Dorado, possesses these
qualifications and is withal q man of
broad-gauged ability and absolute fair
ness, this association requests him to
become a candidate for railroad COM
missioner. and we hereby tender him
our hearty support for that Office

is handsome woman of about forty.
She has been separated from her hus-

St. Louis, Oct. 12.-Because of the Sc

of this archdiocese several months ago
by Bishop Glennon of Kansas City,
who was appointed coadjutor. Arch

CRISIS IS REACHED.
Even England Begins to Realize That
There's "Something Doing"

Berlin, Oct. 12-The relations between
Japan and Russia have reached crisis,
according to the official view here. The
exact nature of the diplomatic ex-
changes between the two governments
that brought out the present tensity ap
pear to be unknown at the legation Of
the two countries here or at the German
legations at ST. Petersburg and Toxic
although it is understood that Great
Britains is privy to Japan's movements.
London, Oct. 12.-In spite of the reas-
Suring statements of the foreign office
and Baron Hayashi, the frequent re-
iteration that hostilities between Russia
and Japan are imminent, the mysterious
movements of the Russian and Japan
fleets and the excited state of public
opinion in Japan are beginning to cause
disquiet in Great Britain which because
of her alliance with Japan is so inti-
nately concerned in any action in
which the. latter may take in the far
east. Only the most Sanguine persons
believe that in the event of hostilities
they could be kept within the limits
which would free Great Britain from
her obligation TO support her Japanese
ally. Even Baron HayaShi, who here
tofore has ridiculed all suggestions of
war is not so optimistic today. Indirect
ly he admits the possibility of war BY
expressing the hope that in the event
of a crisis Japan will have the active
sympathy of her ally, Great Britain.
While refusing to credit the reports of
an ultimatum having been delivered
Baron Hayashi admitted that the di
plomatic situation had changed since
October s. and that developments may
have arisen from the failure of the Rus
slams to fulfill their engagement TO
evacuate Manchuria on that date. He,
however, had heard nothing from his
government on the subject.

alarming news is several hundred miles
