kane's sweet singer, and Edwin c.
Leedy Of Chicago will be united in
holy wedlock this evening at the
First Methodist church, DR.. Henry
Rasmus performing the solemn cere-
mony.
Miss Laura Mueller has been a
Spokane girl most of her life and
Spokane has watched her develop
from q sweet child and a happy maid
into a charming, beautiful young
woman. Spokane loves her as her
own daughter and has loved her since
the memorable evening nine years ago
when she. as little girl, recited the
words of the poem, by the Falls of
the Spokane"-words which were
written by the mother-and danced
the interlude to music written by her
father. Professor Franz Mueller. This
was in the opera, 1.-The White Fawn,"
written by Professor Mueller and pre-
scented three times at the Spokane
Auditorium to houses which crowded
the utmost limits Of the playhouse.
Professor Mueller has been urged
many times by critics who recognize
ed the superior merit Of this opera to
take 1t before the American public,
but he has preferred to remain in
Spokane. Miss Laura, though then a
child. took a leading part In this

Since those days Miss Laura has
delighted scores of Spokane audiences
being great favorite and winning
unusual honors which she at all
times has modestly insisted on shar-
ing with her talented parents. both
of whom are accomplished musicians
and from whom she inherited keen
and true musical instincts, which
have been trained to perfection by
her father, supplemented by the best
instructors in America.
Miss Mueller as Mrs. Leedy, will
reside in Chicago, where she will
continue her voice culture, having
been advised by her instructors that
1t will no longer be necessary for
her to take instruction on the piano.
In Chicago she also will take stud
les from the best instructors in art,
an accomplishment for which she has
q high though unframed ability.

IF YoU HAVE DYSPEPSIA, READ
THIS.

The old way of taking pepsin, bis
muth, etc, to cure dyspepsia is all
wrong. They may be put up in tab
let's or in liquid, the result is just the
same. The object Is to create arti-
fetal digestion. but this does not make
a cure. Stop taking the pepsin, ETC.,
and you have your dyspepsia or indi-
gestion back again. People use CO.
caine or opium for nervous troubles
and sick headache. 1t does not cure
stop taking the drugs and the pain
and distress return. The only COM
mon sense method is to drive out of
the system the cause Of dyspepsia
and sick headache by cleansing the
stomach and bowels, at the same time
using a medicine that will act on the
liver. This forces through the glands
of the stomach the digestive fluid
that nature intended. In this way
you cure dyspepsia. The medicine
that cures dyspepsia by this method
Is called DR.. Gums Improved Liver
Pills. Druggists sell these pills at 26c
per box. It only takes one pill for
a dose. For sale by all druggists.

SAIL ON LINER CHINA FOR THE ORIENT

Not since the early days of the
Spsnish-Anerican war has the de-
parture Of an Orient-bound liner at
tracted quite the enthusiastic atten-
ton accorded yesterday to the steam
ship China when she sailed for the
orient. The big liners decks were
crowded with all sorts and conditions
Of interesting people. There were
white men whose names are known
the world over by fiction and history
they have written. and little brown
men going TO the Far East to help in
the making of more history. There
was every shade Of complexion from
the baby pink of Richard Harding
Davis 10 the colorado maduro of
Chief Steward Darlings assistant
The majority Of the liners passengers
are bound for the Orient, all attracted
by the same magnet-Japan's battle
with the bear. In about half a hun
dred cases the magnetic attraction
was in the form Of patriotism. Fancy
salaries. love of adventure. hope of
glory and the call of duty were some
OF the strings that drew others Of that
interesting company.

japanese warriors sailed on the China

and cheered them on. The contingent

have signed the protocol for a treaty
by which the Japanese guarantee the
independence and integrity of Korea.
No doubt is held as to the approval of
Great Britain and the United States.
Belgian, French and German subjects,
as well as the representatives of COM
panies conducted officially by Russians,
have been pressing for concessions
which may be affected by the altered
status of Japanese and Korean rela-
tions.
PARIS. Feb. 27.-In explaining the
Japanese Korean treaty Molono, the
Japanese Minister to France, said:
My Government broke off relations
with Russia in order to safeguard the
independence and integrity of Korea
This treaty is new affirmation of the
policy Japan has not ceased to pursue
at Seoul. The independence of Korea
is a guarantee of the security of Japan.
My country cannot without exposing
itself to suicide permit a third power
to occupy Korea. 1t is for us a ques-
tion of life or death We wish neither
to annex nor subject Korea, but we do
not wish Russia to incorporate the
country as she has Manchuria The

Grand Duchess Marie, CyriFs
mother, broke down at the last mo-
ment and wept as she embraced her

Dukes Boris and Andrew held their

Grand Duke Cyril is going to Port
Arthur to act as chief officer of the
flagship. Grand Duke Boris will leave
on March II with General Kuropatkin.
Although there is no confirmation
here of the reported landing of Jap

a very lasting impression. One would
have to be blind and deaf to ignore the
violence and spOntaneity of the out

The Russian public will ever believe
that Japan. with all it's confidence,
would not have dared to resist the
great white Car had it not been for
the British alliance. Even the think
ing people Of the unofficial classes are
convinced that this treaty. if not the
immediate cause of hOstilities. had an
evil influence in Toxic. In the press
and in society the belief is general that
the Japanese would have thought twice
before entering a struggle of which the
end no one can fOresee had they not

To sum up, it is thought, not only

CABLE QUESTION UNDECIDED.
NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-It was an
nounced in dispatches from Washing

quiries to the Government as to wheth-
er permission could be secured to land
on the island CT Guam a cable connect
ing with Japan. This cable would con-
meet at Guam with the Pacific Com
mercial cable to the United States. 1t
was said that the request was based
upon the apprehension that the exist
ing Japanese cables, both of which run
to Shanghai, might be cut during the
present hostilities, and Japan thus be
isolated from the world. In consider
ing the request the Government was
said to have reached the conclusion
that an assent would not involve.

that cable is a commercial instru-
