Plan to Remove Imperial Headquarters
to Kyoto Abandoned

TOKYO, February 23.-The plan arranged
for the emperor and imperial headquarters
to move to Kyoto has been temporarily
abandoned, as it is now thought better not
to remove until after the closing of the
special session of the diet early in April.
The Inconvenience of moving the seat Of
government and convening the diet at Ky
oto is the reason assigned for the change in
the plan. Small interest is manifested in
the forthcoming election. The war over
shadows all political questions just now
The country is united politically, and it
Is expected that the new diet will fully sup
port tine government and cordially approye
all war measures

An Iowa Lynchlng Joke.
Charlotte Observer.


Under an insignificant sin
gle line head, W. seein q Nor.
thern paper that an innocent
old negro had been put to
death in Iowa merely as a
joke. 1t was simply u lynch
ing on o new and approved
OF der in he West. Az mod
estiy told in the dispatch
from Hamburg Iowa: John
e, sGoodIaw, an honest old
negro, is dead as the result
of a fiendish practical joke
perpetrated by n number OF
young men a few nights ago.
Nevertheless a Coronor'sjnry
certified that death was due
to natural causes After
tieing him with ropes and
mailing his feet to a board
they covered him with wood
and shavings and placed a
rag saturated with kerosene
near his nose. Then they
poured over him u bucket OF
water, telling him it was ker.
osene, and pretended they
were going to light it. Just
then the old mans cries sud-
denly ceased. The jokers real
lzed that their fun had been
carried too far. They remov
ed the debris and began to
unite the negro, when they
discovered that he was dead.
He was carried quietly away
and dumped into a corn crib
v here he was found the next
day."
There are just two things
to say about this affair:(1) If
it had occurred in the South
the ''jokers" who put the old
man to death would have
been arrested Jailed, tried
and maybe some OF them
hanged. (2) If it had occur
red in the South the North
ern people would have heard
a good more of it than they
are going to hear.
The torturing 10 death of
this old negro was one OF the
most fiendish acts that we
have ever heard Of. He was
guilty OF no crime whatever
yet just for a joke "a number
OF young men" tied him with
ropes, nailed his feet to a
board covered him with wood
sha Wings and placed a rag sat
ura ted with keI osene to bis
nose. After they had scared
the old negro to death they
quietly dumped his body into
an adjacent corn crib. Some
things have occurred in the
South to make it cover it's
face with it's hands for very
shame, but no such crime as
this has yet stained its an

The Dsshcloth.

The best dishcloth is made of a coarse cheesecloth, made of several thicknesses, quilted with stout thread, either by hand or upon the machine And the dishcIoth should be cleansed after each process of dishwashing with boiling water and dried quickly, in the sun if possible. The same care should be given the dish towel, which is also usually q made over utility.
 The dishcloth should not be thrown indiscriminateIy into the laundry bas- ket with soiled clothing, but, with the towel, should be kept apart and wash ed separately that its absolute cleanli- ness may be assured, and when 1t be- comes frayed and unshapely it should be burned = burned hot and forever.
