National MueicipaI Leaguers Meet.

Chicago, Ills., April 2Sth.-At the
meeting of the national municipal
leaguers here today, the members
seemed to agree with the sentiments
expressed in the paper by President
Deming of New York. He urged
that the primary system of elections
in large municipalities was a failure
He suggested that any citizen with a
sufficiently large following should
have his name printed on ballots.
Elections would then be between the
views of public policy, as expressed,
and not between men.

London, April 2S-The inclem-

4alu river seems to be delaying
the operations of the Japanese
troops. The town Kuling Chang
near Aniu, is occupied by the
Mikado's troops. Scouts of the
opposing forces are constantly
exchanging shots. A Japanese
detachment advanced from the
town of Turon Chong; and enc
countered a Russian masked
battery and retired into the
town and took refuge in the
houses. The Russians did not
attack them.

Mrs. Mic ThiII Dead.

The many friends of Mic Thil1 will
be panied to learn of the death of his
wife, Theresa, which occurred at the
family home near Ellinwood Wednes-
day. Mrs. ThiH was very estim-
able young woman who was raised
near Ellinwood, being a daughter of
Peter Schartz, who died a few years
ago. She was married some ten years
ago to Mic Thill, at that time living
near Dubuque, where they continued
to reside until a few years ago when
they moved down near Ellinwood.
Deceased leaves several children,
among them twins who were born
quite recently. The funeral will oc-
cur at the Catholic church at Ellin-
wood on the Doth.
AS occasionally one of our school
companions passes into the great be-
yond it reminds US that we have pass
ed into that span of life where great
responsibilities are waiting for US. and
we can truthfully say that in the de
ceased the world has sustained the
loss of one who was always ready to
assume her share. We unite with the
many friends of the bereaved family
in extending our sincere sympathy.

New Railroad.

A surveying party who are en-
ployed by syndicate which proposes
to sbuild either a trolley system or
steam railway line are running line
from here south. The foreman of
the crew was very reticent about what
they were here for, but intimated that
the above was their purpose. 1t is
likely that they are making the pre-
liminary survey for the proposed road
from some point south, running north
west, as a north and south outlet for
the wheat belt of this state, and the
mining country of eastern Montana.
We understand they began work this
morning and will soon permit the
public to know their object.

Mark Twain on the Jubilee Singers.

g Mark Twain, at Lucerne, Switzer-

Rev. Joseph Twitchell. of Hartford,
after hearing a concert at Vitznau by
the Fisk jubilee Singers in 1897:
"The Jubilecs sung lot of pieces.
-Arduous and painstaking cultivation
has not diminished or artificialized
their music. On the contrary, to my
minde cultivation has nightly rein
forced its eloquence and beauty. To
me, away back in the beginning.
their music made. all other vocal
music cheap, and that early notion IS
emphasized now. 1t is utterly beautf-
full, and moves me infinitely more
than any other music can. THINK
that in the Jubilee Singers and their
songs America has produced the per
fectest flower of the ages, and l wish
it were = foreign product, SO that sne
would worship it, and lavish money
on it, and go properly crazy over 1t.

day charged with receiving and Sc

Gently taken from the Great Bend,
Kansas, post office, and for which one
person is now doing service in the
federal penitentiary.' Colbert says he
has travelled through Oklahoma, Tex
as, and Mexico, and came here to
see girl he formerly knew in Kan
sas. "a post office inspector has fol
lowed Colbert through all his wander
ings, and the chase ended with his
arrest here.
Thus the man who more than any
one else was the cause. of Griffith s
mistake, is up against punishment
himself, which every person here
hopes will not be mild. He and Grif-
fifth were in Trinidad, when Colbert
got mixed up in fight with another
man, and Griffith tried to separate
them. All three of them were ar
rested and in some way, by fixing up
3 a hoaxson the officers, he was releas-
ed some time before Griffith was. AS
soon as he was released he took Grif.
efith's0 trunk, which contained some
$4,000 of the money and other ar
eticles, and skipped, leaving Griffith to
hold the sack.
By means of a letter which came
1ntoethe possession of the officers, it
. was found that Colbert had this young
lady friend at Wilmington, Del, and
that he would probably paysher visit
which he did, with the above result
