When the announcement of the
death OF Mrs. M. H. Gosche was
made 1T was what had been antici-

hope that she would be benefited,
Everything possible was done by the
relatives to bling about her ecovery

away.
Mrs. Gosche vas the daughter of
MIR. and Mrs. VIM. Koch, and the
greater part Of her life has been
spent in Mitchell, growing into wom-
anhood and becoming the wife of
M. II. Gosche several years ago.
Mrs. Gosche was a woman much ad.
mired and respected throughout the
city and her presence will be missed
in many circles. She leaves a hus-
band and little daughter and other
relatives to NOUN her departure to
her last home.

SALVATION ARMY FIRE
All Attempt Was Made to Burn the
salvation Army Barracks at
Midnight Friday Night.

When Frank BEDFORD was going
home from work at the electric light
plant Friday night at a little after
~ O'Clock he, with his assistant,
discovered a fire in the Salvation
Army barracks. They broke in the
front door and in a brief time put
out the flames, which had gained
but little Roadway. Chief Keith
and the captain Of the Army made
an inspection Of the barracks today
and it was easily seen how the fire
started. A bunch Of papers was laid
in front of the stage, and these we're
saturated with kerosene. The car
pet and flags on the stage were also
saturated with the oil, and a cotton
string, which had burned to ashes,
was found lying on the floor extend
ing from the papers to the side door
on the north, where the tiends had
ignited the string, expecting it to
do the work. No damage was done
to the property. 1t was very for
tunate that MI. BEDFORD came along
just at the right time. Had the fire
got a good start several wooden
buildings would have been in it's
pathway and these led within a short
distance of the Widmann hotel
building.
Too much care cannot be exercised
in the future in the protection OF
property on Nam street in case some
of these i%ncendiaries might be re-
peated.

Japan at first proposed to annex the whole
of Manchuria, in area more than double
the size of the Japanese empire, and also
the Island of Formosa, with the Pescadores
group on It's coast: and, in addition. an In
demnity of 300,O0O,O00 taels, the tael being
about 80 cents. Japan also demanded that
China should recognize the entire independ-
ence of Corea as sovereign state
Forced to Give Up Manchuria.
Then followed the "hggling of the mar
ket" China had called on her northern
neighbor Russia, for aid early in the war;
and this aid, denied at the time. was now
forthcoming Russia joined with Germany
and France to tighten the terms for China,
with the result that Japan was compelled
to give up the pleasing prospect of annex
ing Manchuria. and had to be content with
a ca sh indemnity, guaranteed by Russia. in
stead England advised Japan to yield to
the powers and the Shimonoseh treaty
finally settled the terms OF peace ,Corea
was to be independent, and the Corean king
soon after assumed the style OF emperor,
as a sign of his equality with the rulers of
China and Japan. Japan got about twenty
million dollars in lieu of Manchuria, about
the sum paid for SPANS interest in the
Philippine Islands, and also got Formosa.
shortly afterward Russia leased the ter
ritory of which Port Arthur and Talienwan
are the chief cities, and also strip across
Manchuria wide enough for the projected
railroad. ana fortined py CERTAIN ieaSeo
areas. for the Russian troops needed to
guard the railroad after 1t was built. This
lease which runs for about eighteen years
more and Isl then renewable, Is the basis
of Russia's presence In Manchuria, and to
these leased areas no evacuation was ever
meant to apply. Russia wished and. intend
ed to evacuate the outlying districts, pro-
vided she could be satisfied that no other
power would take her place. and that her
capital, invested in building the railroad
would be adequately safeguarded. and her
other vested interests duly protected.
