RUMORS OF MEDIATION.
France Asks Russia What Terms
- Would Be Acceptable.

Berlin, Dec. 29.-It is believed here
that. the latest rumor regarding the
willingness of Emperor Nicholas to
listen to mediation proposals rests
upon a fresh inquiry of France as to
what terms he is willing to accept in
the case of mediation. Official cir
cles in Berlin entertain the possibility
that something in this direction has
been going on since it has been known
that France and Great Britain were
anxious to terminate the war.

WALTER {. GILL.

The above named gentleman,
who is an aspirant for the Demo-
cratic nomination to represent
this the twenty-sixth senatorial
district in the next general assem-
bly, of Tennessee, is young man,
who, by virtue of his ability and
honest manhood, has won the re-
spect and regard of the people of
his native county, where he is best
known. The fact that his candi-
dacy for State senator has been
heartily and unanimously endors-
ed by the Democracy of Hardin
his home county-is proof suffi-
cient of the fact that his ability is
known and recognized. Mr.. Gill
is a teacher by profession, and his
reputation as an educator has ex-
tended to all parts of the State.
He received merited honor week
before last at Huntingdon when
he. was chosen first vice president
ofxths West Tennessee Teachers
Association. While Mr.. Gill has
never held office, he has been faith
full to every trust. He is consci-
entious in the discharge of every
duty, and invites.the closest scru-
tiny of his record, feeling assured
that it is above reproach. He has
done muck for his county, especi-
ally for the young men and young
ladies seeking an education, to
whom he always gladly extends a
helping hand. He has done much
for his party, and is ever ready to
respond to any call to promote the
welfare of Democracy. His can
didacy is subject to the will OF the
Democratic party, and we take
pleasurein commencing his claims
to your thoughtful consideration

Norris & Rowe's Circus the Attraction

This Afternoon.
Today is circus day in the city of
Bismarck. Norris & Rowe's circus
came in from the west this morning
and unloaded amid the wonder-eyed
glances OF the usual number of small
boys who arose at an early hour to
make the circus day complete one
After the unloading process had been
completed, the circus tents were erect
ed at the grounds south of the track.
The parade given at noon was a credit
able one, there being a good display Of
horses, elephants, camels and the U.S.
ual circuF accomplishments A fea-
ture of. the procession is one huge
dromedary hitched up to a wagon, one
OF the largest specimens OF the kind
often seen. The performance is being
given this afternoon and another one
will be given this evening Norris &
Rowe have, as usual, their aggregation
of trained animals, and this is a fea,
ture of the performance There is
also good aggregation of performers,
riders and gynmasts. A large number
of people are in from the outlying
country districts to attend the perform.

weather.

THE FOURTH DIMENSION.
PlatO's Early Efforts to Define This
Intangible Quality.

In Harper's Magazine {. H. Hinton
writes on the much debated question
Of THE Fourth Dimension" In open
ing his article he cites Plato as an
early exponent Of this idea.
"Plato. at the beginning of the sew
enth book of the Republic, describes a
set Of prisoners who are held in chains
before the mouth of great cavern,
bound so that they cannot turn their
faces in any other direction than look
ing straight into the cavern.
ION the wall in which the cavern
ends they see their shadows projected
by the sun. Their only experience of
objects is derived by watching these
shadows. If passers by traverse the
roadway behind them all they see is
the shadows of these passers by on the
wall. If an object strikes them what
they see is the shadow Of that object
striking the shadows Of themselves.
plato draws the conclusion that they
would identify themselves with their
shadows. Since events occurring among
these shadow forms are the invariable
Accomplishments of all their sensations
they would think that they themselves
were those shadows and lived and
moved in a shadow world.
Nov the shadows can only move on
the surface Of the wall. They cannot
approach and recede from it; hence the
prisoners think of themselves as hay
ing two dimensional existence only.
And, says Plato. as these prisoners
think Of themselves as less than they
really are, so we in our turn think of
ourselves as less than we really are.
His philosophy was an effort to find
that greater which we really are"

A FORTUNE IN TROPHIES.
One Of Great Value for Each CON-
peting Drill Corps.

One Of Great Value for Each CON-
peting Drill Corps.
California offers trophies to the
knights Templar for competition dur
ing the coming triennial conclave that
ought and will be an inducement to
every crack drill corps of all COM
manderies throughout the United
States and Canada to make the trip
across the continent and try to win
one of the trophies. The Californians
realize that it is a great undertaking
to bring a drill corps from one end of
the continent to the other extreme;
the time and expense entailed by such
journey Of picked men, who had been
drilling perhaps for one or two years,
have appropriated princely fortune
for trophies, in order to make it
worth the while of the best drill corps
in the land to compete. The original
sum set aside for the use of the com
mittee on competitive drill was $15,750.
That was intended to provide trophies
for each Of the drill corps that had
entered the competition at an early
date. Since then it has been decided
to add to the original amount In order
THAT each competing drill corps shall
receive valuable prize. and each
conanandery whose drill corps com
petes will be. presented with hand
some stand Of colors, consisting Of q
elk beansant and the national coIos.
This lar only Ave drill corps have en-
tered the competition. and the last
