MUST LAW.
Citizen Says Winking at Crime Will
Not Be Countenanced.

bNOs oS S00lleSIa0ttNSAs .
when officers fail to do their duty,
then it is incumbent for the law
abiding citizens of the community to
take a hand and see that favoritism
for those who commit crime is cast
aside" said one of the gentlemen who
took a prominent part a few days ago
in the rearrest and trial of a man who
is alleged to have committed highway
robbery in this city.
Continuing the gentleman said:
This city will witness the incoming of
many thousands of strangers next year
who willy be attracted here by the
opening of the Grow Indian reserva-
ton to settlement and we want it
understood right now that robbery
or any other form of crime is not
countenanced here any mor than it is
in the older settled communities in
the east. When officers of the law,
sworn to do their duty, wink at
crime or at best attempt to apply a
coat OF whitewash, it is high time for
the citizen who has respect for good
government to assert himself and l.
for one, want everybody in the com
munity to know exactly where l stand
in this case and all similar ones which
may come before the public"
Comment on the remarks of the
gentleman above quoted seem almos'
unnecessarily. Unless the officer!
elected to preserve the peace of tn,
community do their duty they cal
rest assured that the citizens will
step in and take a hand in the inter
est of good government.

The Worlds Newest Tongue.

At a committee meeting of the Lon
don Esperanto club the other night re-
ports were read from the various sec
tons, says the New York Globe. The
list of commercial men in different
countries who are using Esperanto for
business purposes is daily increasing.
and one firm of ironworkers in Hud-
dersield has received SO many orders
that a secretary has been sent to Lon
don to learn the language as rapidly as
possible. More than a score of reviews
and newspapers are using Esperanto
regularly, the latest being a Cuban
journal and the international Science
Review, whose contributions include
men of eleven different nationalities.

JoTTINGs.

Japan is everywhere rich in water
power. Consequently, even in small
country towns, there are electric lights
and local telephone lines.
1t is now accounted a disgrace for
any Japanese Of any class to retain
any articles Of gold. All have been sent
to the treasury to be converted into
coin for the emperor.
Among the ancient treasures OF ia
pan which the mikado has poured
into the military chest are gold coins
issued three centuries ago. They are
| Of large size and Of almost pure meta
and worth much more than their In
| trinsic value, Of course.

Japanese RepuIsed.

Hal Cheng, Aug. 1.-The Japanese
on Saturday attacked the heights OF
Kang Wa pass, the right of the Rus.
sian position at Simoucheng. Under
cover of their artillery fire the Japa.
nese infantry charged, but the Rus
sian guns drove them back in confu-
sion and silenced two of their bat
teries. The Russian losses were
slight.
Between Hal Cheng and Ia Tche
Kiao the same day there was a long
distance artillery duel. A shell burst
over a Russian gun, killing two and
wounding II Russian gunners.
On Saturday night the Japanese
made a desperate assault on Kang
Wa heights with the bayonet and a
hand-to-hand fight ensued, but the
Japanese were again repulsed, flee
ing down the hill in confusion.
The. Japanese are said to have EN-.
ployed their customary trick while ad.
vancing, of shouting in Russian
Don't fire; we are friends"
The Japanese renewed the attack
at daylight yesterday, training all
their guns on Kang Wa heights. By {
o'clock the fight had developed al
along the whole front of IA miles and
was especially havy against Genera
Mistchenkof. The Russian artillery
did magnificently, several times fore
ing the Japanese batteries to shift
their positions. The Russians are
holding all their positions at the hou'
when this dispatch is sen from Ha
Cheng.

THE GARDEN.

Euchsias need a good bath daily
after twilight sets in.
Old fashioned phlox is a satisfactory
bloom for a window box.
Wood ashes are a most satisfactory
fertilizer for the roots of sweet peas.
Seeds should be watered as regularly
as plants already sprouted in order to
obtain satisfactory results.
Castor beans are a striking addition
to the center of a large flower bed
They grow sometimes over six feet and
require little attention except plenty oi
water.

General Keller is the first high
Russian military commander to lose
his life in this war. He resigned the
high and lucrative position Of governor
general Of Katerinostaff to go to the
front, and exchanged with General
Zasalitch, who may now resume the
command of the first Siberian army
corps.
The loss of General Keller is deeply
felt in court circles. His sister, Count
ess Kleimmicha, is one of the leaders
of st. Petersburg society.

American Idol. For Korea.

A representative Of a wholesale firm
of Seoul, Korea, recently arrived in the
United States to contract for idols to
be used in the heather temples of his
country as well as in China. 1t seems
that a few years ago IN American firm
sent some idols to nj of the Korean
sacred orders, and the results were SO
satisfactory that there is now a wide

the future shan contain certain blank
spaces. but viii mass from hand to hand.
as is now the case with other govern

possession OF some one who desires to
send money by mail Then the blank
spaces are filled with the name of the
payoc and his address. and a two cent
stamp is pro,i ded ON the bill especially
for that purpose The bill is by this
simple. Inexpensive process, transformed
into check with many OF the safe
guards and few Of the complicau lions Of
the present postal money order
The scheme viii not in any manner

Sam Hess. Of Herman & Hess, has re-

Immediately after the big fire which de-
stroyed the entire business section Of

its consequences
Tie area Of the burned district he
likens TO the space enclosed from Main

much OF which is a dead loss. as four in
surance companies have already failed as
9 result OF the great confaSration, and
many holders of stocks and securities
are without sufficient means Of proving
the properties and otherwise regainlng
the amounts.
Among the freaks Of the fire one more
prominent than the rest is a mammoth
sixteen-story building still standing as IT
was. apparently but without floors or
interior OF any kind; simply the four
walls rearing their heights to the sky,
absolutely Quilted Of everything that was
inside floors and all
A marvellous fact of the great fire is the
absence Of accidents of any kind, only
one man being injured to any great eX-
tent. Considering the fact that an area
so great in extent was completely Quilted
by one Of the fiercest fires OF history.
the absence of fatalities is all the more
remarkable.
An interesting occurrence was the effort
or the Evening News to issue the thlrd
extra edition giving an account of the
fire. The News had already placed two
extras on the streets of the city and was
working ON the third when the fire reach

CASE TO JURY.
Final Arguments Are Made in Rossler-
Schimpff Trial.

At the close OF the final argument by
attorney John Adams. in the district court
this morning. the Rossler-Schimpff case
which has been on trial for the past four
days, will be given to the jury.
The case has been one of much interest
and although tried only last November.
an abundance of new and strong evidence
was introduced by both the plaintiff and
the defendant
Frank Sherman continued his expert
testimony on handwriting yesterday
which was not completed until in the af-
ternoon. The evidence given by Mr.. Sher-
man was very interesting as he illustrated
it by means of chart and crayons.
During the morning photographs Of
some speciment of Rossler's letters were
handed out 10 the jury for study under
msgnifying or reading glasses. and the
attention of the jury was called to what
Mr. Sherman considered similaritles in
the letters and character of the writing on
these and in the disputed note for N,doo
The next witness called by the defense
was Judge J. y. Haymaker who gave evil
dence as TO the character of Mr.. Sehimpn
and also to his signature which appeared
on a number of the checks introduced as
evidence
The testimony of Judge Haymaker
closed the evidence for the defense and
the plaintiff then called some witnesses IN
rebuttal
The first called was Mr.. Deepen, of
Louisville, Ky, who claims TO have seen
Mr.. Schimpff sign the note in question.
The next witnesses called were Marshals
Voss and Hawk who testified as to the
character of Henry Rossler.
Mr. Rossler was then called and he de-
clared that the only agreement OF any
kind which was drawn up in his store in
Louisville on October g. 1900, was the note
which he claims was written and signed
by the defendant Charles Schimpff.
This closed the evidence in the case and
the courts instructions TO the jury were
read. after which the opening argument
was made by Attorney John Adams for
the plaintiff.
Owing TO the fact that Attorney Reach
was suffering from q severe cold which
has affected his throat he was excused
from making his argument at that time
and court adjourned until this morning at
$50 when Mr. Reach will argue the case
for the defendant, after which the clos
ing argument for the plaintiff VIII be
made and the case given to the jury.
There is considerable speculation and
surmise as to the verdict which the jury
will agree upon, and the outcome is
witched with much interest.
