The aEefRss person bus The people q
Japan sized pp n . very wrong Light.
Most of Is have q very wrong conception
~ the Japanese. The idea 81 the ~
srage person Is that the Japanese popns
lation consists Of opium sinking, ieacfs
ant, unclean men, running around on
their toes, dressed in loud -colorcd kim
cnos and balancing long poles over their
heads practising their abilities for van:
deviIle exhibitions.
As matter Of fact the Japanese peo-.
pie are clearly, honest, ingenious, copr-
teous, industrious, frugal They pos
scss sentiment Of personal honor that
IS not equallcd in any other nation Of
the earth. While they are of mild intel
ligcncc they have strong desire for
knowledge and they are farther advanc-
CD in civilization than their big despotic
and barbaric antagonist. The people
are possessed OF great qualities.
They have yielded to the progress Of the
world and taken up with it. The most
important reform of the century was
the admission of foreigners and the MS
Sanitation OF European ideas. The ma
tion has bettercd socially and morally
uy this and has future of bright hope
for its industrial and intellectual nd
v.incement.
The people Of Japan are busy. They
are extensive ngriculturists. They have
silk and cotton factories which are rap
idly developing. Paper mills arc NUM-
eaous and of importance in their com
mercc.
One feature of the government that
places it ahead of barbnric Russia is its
absolute freedom of belief. Education il
compulsory. There are about thirty
thousand elementary schools with sixty
advanced schools and the Imperial uni
versity. 10000 books are Published an
n,aIly. 900 periodicals are ISSUED dur
ing the year. The people nave railroads,
telegraph lines. cables and all of the
modern conyenicnces known to civiliza-
ton.
4 few other facts abott japan while
we are on the subject. The japanese
nation is located upon about 1000 is
lands. IT contains about 100000 square
miles and has a population of about TO-
ooJ,OOo. The density of population Is
about 275 to the square mile. The poll
teal divisions consist OF SIS provinces
There are 1924 towns and 1878 viii.
lagos.
Japan is north temperate country.
Its Temperatures ranges from 80 degrees
in january to so degrees in August, the
average mean being about GO degrees
nearly the same temperature of Virginia.
Until 1880 the government was vested
in an absolute monarchy. The empire
awakened to the progress of civiliza
ton and more modern form of govern
ment is in force to-day. The supreme
executive authority is vested in the En-
Peror whose rights of sovereignty IRE
limited by an advisory council. privy
council and the Imperial Diet. the latter
consisting of a House of Peers and
House of Representatives., each number
ing about 300.

Everyone seems TO have dropped out
OF the Democratic gnbernatorial race so
far as the public is concerned except
Stuart W. Walker 1t is growing plain
er every day that that party is looking
to him as its Moses. lie is so far the
most worthy aspirant. No one ever
questioned his Democracy and he has
never been charged by his own party
with party pcrtidy. nor ha< lie been in
the habit of 'bctraying his party. when
he saw an opportunity to promote his
business interests So much can not
be said Of some others, who awhile ago
were boosting themselves for the nom

ARE THEY SINCERE.

While conditions invited it yet it looks
like tie insurance companies wanted an
excuse to raise the rate of fire insurance.
In their famous little pink slip they
promise to refund 10 per cent of the
increase, if their requirements are met
in four months. If they want to be
square about it, why do they not offer
to refund the entire amount of the in
crease: It looks on the face OF it TINT
they want a raise very much.

PUNISH THE cRANKs.

Those who attempt the life of presi-

be cranlss. but there have been times
when murder rankled in the bosom OF
sane men toward the president. 1t Is
not enough to say such cranlss are un-

ished according to the magnitude of the

The senator was everywhere greeted by

banks said in part:

sprung up almost as by magic. They have
not just happened. They were not built

them into being. What is the secret OF
the operation Of these mines in Sullivan

in turn making more prosperous the vii
lagos thruout the county, and they In
turn making greater prosperity for the

tell you Republican policies create pros

great factories and industrial establish
ments, and they in turn require the coal
which nature laid away here countless
centuries ago. You will have prosperity
here when there is prosperity in the great
Industrial centers, when the great fac
tories are open and running to their ut

= Another Handkerchief Theory.
The fateful handkerchief found i'm
brued with DR.. Gebhard's blood and
marked with initials that seem to read
"G. R. K.,'' is still unexplained, The
officers are not exhibiting it to any one
and are engaged in vigorous attempts
to establish its ownership. Even DR..
G. R.. Koch, who has been entirely ex
affair, has not been permitted to see
the kerchief and does. not know
whether it is his, and if, so, how it
came to be found in the Gebhard office.
The initials are not at all plain, and a
new theory is that they are G.. F. R., ~
and that the handkerchief belongs to
DR.. G. F: Reineke, who was DR.. Geb=.
hard's office mate. He might have
left it in the operating-room or in the
waltlng-room they used in common.
Suits Are Threatened. =. - =.
DR.. Koch's friends and family are
much incensed over the connecting of
his name with the case and his parents
issued a warning this morning that they
would prosecute any one who circulates
false stories about him. Much bad
feeling has been stirred up by the ad-
vice given by Sheriff Mcmillan Of
Nicollet county to the Brown county at
! torney to take him into custody. This
| advice was resented, in view of the
complete exoneration Of DR.. Koch not
only by his alibi, but by the testimony
Of Asa P. Brooks, the only man who is
known to have seen the murderer. Mr..
Brooks, by the way, is not acquainted
with the brakeman, altho he has seen
him since the murder, having accom-
panied the officers to his home.
Reward Increased to $1,000. III
Word was received today that Mrs.
Gebhardt Of Black River Falls, Wis,
mother of the murdered dentist, has Of
fered reward Of $40O for the appre-
hension Of the murderer. This increases

for $250,OOO damages by the United
I Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners
of America, which alleges that the car

opportunity to earn a livelihood.
\ Thirty thousand men in various trades
were locked out in retaliation for nu-
lnerous strikes instituted by the men,
the latter having refused to return to
work within a certain period. Since
then the carpenters have been unable
to make peace with the employers.
They had nothing to do with the strikes

victims Of other trades who violated an
agreement. ft@

STITCH IN CATS TAIL
SAVES WILDCAT BOUNTY
New York Sun Special Service,

Pittsfeld, Mass, Nov. Ia original
attempt was mado in the town of Sa-
voy this week to secure bounty on
a bogus wildcat. A young farmer who
had house cat, large in size and re-
sembling the wild lynx, shot the cat,
cut off its tail, then sewed on a short
tuft of the tail to make it lock like
bloody body to the selectmen of the
town, who pay the hunters. The select
men made a post-mortem, and one of
them noted the stitches in the stub
of pussy's tail. Last year Berkshire
county paid out about three hundred
dollars in bounties on wildcats, which
was refunded by the state Sc
