War correspondents are hurrying
from England, Germany and France to
the Far East; Lloyd's rate of insur-
ance on vessels bound for the Orient
is advancing; Russia is placing large
orders for canned meats withS pack
ing houses in the United States; Japan
is trying to buy several war vessels
from South American countries; Japa-
nese owners of merchant steamships
have arranged for the transfer of their
craft to British ownership. These
things can have but one meaning;
namely, that war is imminent and that
a bloody tragedy may soon be enacted
on the other side of the world. And
persons who expect to see Japan speed
lily wiped out, in the event of war,
may be disappointed. Japan is larger
and more populous than the British
isles, and her people are animated with
a strong national pride. There are no
more patriotic people in the world.
They have been warlike for generations,
and even mighty Russia would find
them foes worthy of her best efforts.

The New York Telegram processes to
have the information direct from Lon
don that, during his European trip, Mr..
Bryan is affecting spats and pajamas.
We decline to believe a word of it.
Imagine a great commoner arrayed in
the gaudy glory of spats, or a tribune
of the people shedding his red fan
nels at night and slipping into slumber
garments whose pattern was borrowed
from the effete East! Would a Ne
vada ranchman or a Colorado cowboy
tolerate spats and pajamas for one in
stant? Would they not at once rally
to some 'Sockless Jerry" and demand
that he defend them against enervating
luxury? The octopus press of New
York had as well quit slandering Mr..
Bryan in that manner. Nobody will
believe such stories.

Quincy Adams Sawyer" in Play Form

Quincy Adams Sawyer" in play
form will be welcome attraction at
the Grand next Friday night and the
popularity of the famous New England
novel of the same name assures
crowded attendances. 1t is a play of
New England home life, full of all the
feelings and sentiments that are nat
ural to such life. The young man
from whom the book and the play
have their titles is a wealthy Boston
lawyer who goes into the country for
his health. He finds d beautiful wo-
man, blind girl, who wins his love,
and their courtship and devotion is
very beautiful. The play is full of
unique and interesting characters.
The scenic equipment is most elab-
crate one, all built specially for this
production, which competent critics
agree easily rivals the success of any
New England play ever presented.
Remember that Kramer's ten-piece
orchestra furnishes the music. Seats
now on sale.

Indian Summer.

Now the scarlet tints the treetops and the robin
birds repair,
Eager soaring, to the Southland, DER the leagues
of amber air.
The landscape lies a-dreaming while the languid
sephyr swoons,
And above the weedy wayside float the thistle
down balloons.
Let us wander then, more,
Ere the summer days are DER,
For the sun is hiding sooner and the winter Hes
before.
Now the golden bearded grain in tangled tufts is
lying low,
And, like lanterns through the fields, the rudy
globes OF asters glow.
The stars at eve are beaming with clear and
colder light.
And the frost-man in the morning dusts the
meadow land with white.
Kindle flame and close the door,
For the summer days Ger.
The wind is blowing keener and the winter lies
before.
