with them some cigars and various
small articles. No money was secured
as Mr. Taylor leaves no funds in biz

sunday night a similar break was
made at the grocery of William Donald
son & Son, corner Of Main and Front
SITS. Here the thieves had removed
wo panes of glass from a basement
door on the west side Of the store but
failed TO gain admittance owing to au

Main street side they had better success
and when In the cellar, they had the

cash till of five or six dollars in change
and carried off revolver and cartridge
belt belonging to the junior member Of
the firm, also box or two of cigars and
some tobacco.
Mr.. James White and his daughter
Margaret, who live over the store, heard
noise as of some one in the rooms be-
low at about eleven O'clock, but it vas
not disturbance enough to cause them
to investigate and they thought nothing
further of it until they learned In the
morning what had been going on
| The circumstances surrounding both
OF these affairs are much the same and
indicate the work OF, amateurs. While
there are not as yet clues of much i'm.
portance to work on, our officers are not
without hope that the culprits may be
apprehenoed.

correspondent renews the statement
that King Edward has taken preliminary
steps to ascertain whether Russia would
be favorably disposed to accept an offer
of mediation and it is further stated that
the Gar replied that such an offer on
the part of the King of England would
certainly be accepted. With Russias
acquiescence thus secured, the CORES
pendent says, it would be difficult for
Japan to decline a proposal emanating
thus powerfully. Optimists, it is said, at
tribute the slow march of events to the
fact that negotiations have been actually
begun. For the good of the nations in
timately interested and for that of the
nations of the earth in a lesser degree,
the success of any plan of mediation
must be earnestly hoped for by all who
have the good of humanity at heart and
who deplore the terrible carnage and the
untold suffering of a great war.

Compass Plants.

Several different countries-America,
Asia Minor, Tartary, Madagascar and
Australia-have shrubs and flowers
which are, locally at least, known as
compass plants" The compass plant
of the United States Is the common
rosin weed of our western prairles,
which has the long leaves near the
ground set in a vertical position In
such way as to always present the
edges to the north and south. This pc
culiar propensity % the rosin weed Is
attributed to the fact that both the up
per and lower surfaces of the leaves
demand an equal share Of light, some
thing which can be said of but few
known plants, the upper surfaces usu-
ally being much more sensitive to both
light and heat than the lower. This de-
mand for a share of Old Soils attention
causes the leaves to stand in the man
ner mentioned above.

The Supreme court decides that the
State Of Minnesota is without Jurisdiction
in the Northern Securities cases. The
federal court decides the regulation Of
interstate commerce to be federal obli
cation. State rights do not include the
right to interfere with trusts or combina-
tons in interstate relations. This opin-
ion OF the court was unanimous and con-
elusive.

Russia will have nearly half million
troops in Manchuria In May, and will be
ready in August to envelop Korea and
drive the Japs out OF it. Thus Gen.
kuropatkin is reported to have said. II
he said 1t, it is pretty good evidence that
he has other p!sns n view. Neither
Russians nor their Japanese enemy are
inclined to let the public know what
they purpose to do In advance.

Naval power is not lightly valu d in
modern warfare. Russia is to strengthen
her navy with twelve submarine boats
and Japan has ordered English builders
to construct two battleships, the biggest
and most formidable ever put afl Jat
Naval battles are preferable to land en-
gagements. They are more costly and
destroy property faster, but are much
less destructive to human life.

The report of the alleged bomb-throw-
ing 10 Barcelona, in which King Alfonso
was named as the intended victim, ap-
nard. 1t was rot bomb, and the king
was not there. 1t was gas explosion
and Alfonso was half mile away. This
incident gave opportunity for the men,

also gave like opportunity; two such in
