as they might be needed, but as the
condition of the Treasury, is such
that the amount needed in the i'm

would be exceeding his authority
to issue such bonds now. He would
doubtless stretch II point to please
the national banks if he could, but
there is certainly no pressing de-

MURDERS HIS WIFE.

W0MAR'S MOTHER LIVES AT DESLoGE

Frank Rose, a barber, shot his
wife Christmas morning ut Salt
Lake, Utah. He placed a pistol to
her head while she INCREASINGLY
Jay on the bed. After she was
shot she looked into her husbands
eyes, and said. "Well, Frank,
! guess you have done it now. ="
She asked him to bring the baby,
two years old, over to her so she
could kiss him, and asked her hus.
band to kiss her as she felt that
life was almost gone. He leaned
over her, his elbows resting in her
blood, pressed his lips to hers, and
she raised her arm, down which the
blood was streaming, aud put it
around his neck. She asked him
to leave the babe in her arms, and
it was found there with its dead
mother, shivering in its thin blood,
wet clothes, by officers 81 hours
after the tragedy. Rose gave him,
self up and told what he had done
and described the details of the
murder. Jealousy was the cause
of the crime, and it is one of the
coolest and most deliberate in the
annals of crime. He expressed no
regret, and said lie had been con.
templating it for months.

Mrs. Eliza M orris, lives at Dcs.
loge, in this county, and sister,
Mrs. Pearl Poston, at Bonnie Terre
She was only twenty years old,

RUSSIA AND JAPAN.
Status Of Situation in the Orient and
How il Was Brought About

Relations between Japan and
Russia have been increasingly
strained ever since the Japenese
war with China firmly established
the dominance of the Mikado in
Korean affairs.
Russia at that time, having al.
ready conquered Northern Asia to
the Pacific Ocean, had turned
southwark, ever stretching out n
grasping hand for land, concessions
anything obtainable that would
increase Russian wealth and pres
tige.
Diplomatic entanglements had
given Russia Port Arthur in Chi.

gic position on the Chinese Coast
as an offset to similar concessions
granted to Great Britain at Wei.
Hal Wei and to Germany at kiaO,
Chou.
Next, the Boxer uprising, which
followed close on the heels Of the
Chinese-Japanese War, gave Rus
STA the desired opportunity to eX-
tend its official control southwark
far enough to embrace not only the
territory adjacent to Port Arthur,
but all the intermediate Province
of Manchuria. Ostensibly thi,
occupation was part of the con
certed movement to cOerce China
but when the allied troops with
drew from other parts of the Elm
pire Russia held on to Manchuria
On the preteXt that the building
of a railroad and the protection o.
property, as well as the preserva
ton of order in a turbulent cOun'
try, required it, Russia postponed
from time to time the date Of eva
cuation. All the time permdnen
improvements were pushed
Meantime Japan, with activit!

exploits in two campaigns, attained
commercial supremacy in Korea
which Russia began to covet. ia
