MAKES War move
Japan Decides to Send Troops
Into Korea.

Paris, Oct. According to reliable in
formation received here Japan has de-
cided TO send two regiments of infantry
to Korea. This is regarded in authorita-
tive quarters as being a most important
step as affecting Russo-Japanese rela-
tions and as likely toaccentuate the pos
sibilities of a war crisis. Japan's decis-
ion is considered to be directly related
to Russia's proposition to evacuate Man
churia October s. 1t is now accepted in
the highest quarters that this evacua-
ton is impossible of accomplishment as
China has not signed the terms on
which Russia conditioned her evacua-
ton.
The advices received show that China
inclines TO continue the present Rus
sian status in Manchuria rather than
commit herself to finally signing the
proposed agreement. In view of these
conditions JaDan's decision to send
troops to Korea is regarded as being 4
most significant step. The advices fur
I Their. show that the war spirit in Japan
has materially augmented during the
last fortnight.

THE BOY GOT EVEN.
Topeka Hotel Thief Driven Out
Of Kansas City.

There was a real funny incident which
did NOT appear in police court yester-
day. Out toward the south end of town
resides a family which numbers among
the domestic animals a cluster of white
rabbits with pink eyes. The rabbits are
kept in a nice little house. but some
times the little boy, who also belongs to
the family, forgets to shut the door at
ter feeding or fondling the pets. Then
the pale raj bits sally forth upon the
greensward. and occasionally call on a
neighbor There is one neighbor, an
elderly lady. who objects to the pale
rabbits browsing on her lawn. On sew
eral occasions she has explained to the
owner of the animals that she did not
care to pasture them. Yesterday she
became aggravated, and arming herself
with a club, hung it all over one of the
rabbits. In the vernacular, she didn't do
a thing to that rabbit, and his demise
followed. The rest of the herd, having
their rabbits foot with them. made a
good getaway. Afterward the lady who

arising which may before long be de-
veloped into great proportions.
That rival is Argentina, a country
which for more reasons than one might
we'll be regarded as the United States
of South America. 1t is only about
and has only one-fifteenth as great a
population. But its soil is wondrously
fertile and its climate genial, and 1t IS
growing in population and in the arts
of civilization at a gratifying pace. Its
production of cattle and sheep, OF
hides and wool, of linseed and various
other things is we'll known to be great.
It is to be remarked that it is also be-
coming great producer of corn. for
which crop its soil and climate seem to
be particularly we'll suited. The last
years crop of corn is reported to have
covered 1900. 900 acres and to have
measured 100 100000 bushels. That is,
of course, very much less than our a.
100000 acres and 2,523, 100000 bushels.
of the country, it is a creditable show
ing. Moreover, it is to be observed
that the Argentines get more than 80
bushels from an acre, and get a dol
lar of their currency, or A cents gold,
a busnel for it, making a yield of 1920
an acre. while we, with our boosted
higher civilization, are content with 81
a bushel, means a yield of only $1,000
an ac~s.
There is no occasion to get scared at
the spectre of Argentine competition in
the corn market Yet it is evident that
Argentina is destined before long to be
so considerable producer of that crop
as to cut a figure in the markets of
the world, and probably to rank as
rival of the United States.-New York

AFTER STANTON'S SCALP
Cyrus Leland Makes Effort to
~ EnjOin Salary Payment.

Cyrus Leland and his attorney. ]. M
Allen, are after j. H. Stanton. whose
position as state architect is in cues
ton.
Wednesday Leland and Allen visited
Judge z. T. Hazen, of the Shawnee
county district court with a petition
for temporary injunction to prevent
State Auditor Wells from allowing the
salary of Stanton as architect and to
prevent State Treasurer Kelly from
paying it.
The petition set forth that the legis-
lature made no provision for state
architect, and that therefore Stanton
can hold no such position. Stanton was
state house architect before the legls-
1ature met and has been holding onto
the position. The legislature passed a
bill providing for Stanton's pay but not
for the position.
Judge Eazen refused to grant the in
junction for the reason that such an
injunction can not be granted on the
petition of an Individual. re told Le-
land that the petition would have to be
presented in the name of the state or
in the name of the county.
Leland spent some time in hunting
for County Attorney Hungate for the
purpose of securing his permission to
bring the case in the name of the
county but he did not find Hungate.

less hronic Inflammation of the sub
stance of the kidneys. The ailment
may be caused by exposure to cold and
check of the skin circulation or by di-
rect disturbance of the organs from ir-
ritating substances that are not redily
eliminated. OF the latter spirituous
liquors and other indulgenoes of high
living may be mentioned as leading
eausatiye factors. The various synip-

do over years of ill-health. Occasion

secured a firm hold on the patient, and
are only discovered accidentally in con-
nection with attacks of vomiting, dis
urbance of sight, transient dizziness,
asthmatic seizures and dropsical man
ifestations.
So insidious is the invasion that the
careful physician is always on the alert
to make the necessary examinations
