IOWA FARMER HAS LUMPY JAW.

That the disease frequently founo
among cattle and commonly known
as lumpy Jaw can be contracted by
humans through incubation is proved
in the case of John Lampse, farmer
living near Pocahontas. Lampse
recently assisted IN an operation to
remove the lumpy jaw from COW
and some of the virus or poison from
the diseased part lodged under his
finger nails. In scratching his face
some of the virus got into his blood
and as a result Lampse is suffering
with bad case of the dread disease.
Lampse is under. tn eatment of physi-
clan who thinks he can cure the
malady.

RUSSIA AND JAPAN.
Fleet and Army of Both Powers Ready
For Emergencies.

Yokohama, Oct with the ap-
proach of October the nominal date
for Russia's evacuation Of Manchuria,
great tension is observable among the
Japanese populace, but in diplomatic
circles it is reaffirmed that hopeful
ness prevails of an amicable settle
ment of the imbroglio between Russia
and Japan on the basis of minor con-
cessions by Russia in Corea and Man
churia, though officials do not profess
to expect that the evacuation of Man
churia will be effected on the exact
date named.
Baron Won ROsen, the Russian min
lister to Japan, has returned here from
z conference with the Viceroy Alexieff
at Port Arthur, and had a short con-
ference with Baron Komura, the Jap
anese foreign minister, on October 8.
Baron Won Komura has since given out
hopeful interview, but the Japanese
minister for war and navy thereafter
had a long conference with the en-
privy council, and Viscount Katsu, the
premier. indicating that preparations
are going on to meet any eventuality.
The fleet and the army are both with
out question in readiness and large
supplies for both the army and navy
have been accumulated The arsenals
have been quietly at work for long
time past and the defenses have been
infinitely inspected.
Popular feeling in Japan is exasper-
ated at Russia's dilatOry tactics, and
the excitement has been aggravated
by the sensational press, which is con-
stantly circulating rumors of fresh
Russian aggressiOns. Many of these
are of the most circumstantial charac-
ter and are calculated to Infame pub
lie opinion. The officials deprecate
these reports, which, it is believed in
some quarters, emanate from Russian
sources with the object Of forcing ia
pans hand.
The Japanese statesmen remain
calm. Japan apparently considers
herself capable of dealing with Rus
STA single-handed It is true that Eng
land is supporting Japan strongly at
Picking and Seoul, COrea, but it is
thought here that England and France
desire peace at any price.
