Russo,Japanese War.
EDITOR REVIEW

EDIIOR REVIEW
Not 3 single editorial in the daily pa
pers which circulate IN this section OF
the country seems to be on the right
side in the Russian Japanese conflict.
Russia does not want Japan and Jap
an does not want Russia, but beth and
the rest of the powers want China, or ut
least want to force China to open up
for the European commerce. The mo-
ment China moves all powers will
tackle her.
But what will be the outcome9 An
immense loss of life and property for
nothing but another chance to keep up
the insane overproduction of the civil
lied countries under the competitive
system, to which religion, morality and
everything good is sacrificed.
And when they are through with it,
they will be as wlse as the United States
which had the civil war to abolish
slavery and solve the negro question,
and this question is worse today than
ever.
Wars should open the eyes of people.
War is murd.r ard is against law and
religion and everybody aud anybody
who has a good word to say for it has
neither relig ion nor civilization.

.ROPED AMERICAN EAGLE.
Arizona Cowboy Lassoed the King Of
Birds.

Lewis B. Krook of this city, is in
receipt of letter from his brother, G.
G. Krook, who is now at Gold Basin,
Arizona, where he is interested in the
cyanide works. The company to which
Mr.. Krook belongs operates a number
of tanks containing cyanic acid. Into
these the gold-bearing quartz is thrown
and the acid dissolves all the ex-
traneous substances and leaves the
precious metal. The industry is an
important one in Arizona and Mr..
Krook intends to thoroughly familiar
ize himself with it.
In his letter the former New Ulm boy
gives an interesting account of a
strange capture made by couple of
cowboys. He says: yesterday two
cowboys camped here. On the way they
discovered an eagle preying upon a
rabbit and their dog got after him.
Just as the eagle was about to fly one
of the boys spurred on his horse and
by a lucky throw lassoed the bird and
brought him along. It is real Ameri-
can eagle and measures exactly seven
| feet from tip to tip Of wings. 1t is the
| finest specimen of bird l have ever
seen. Our superintendent bought it for
$40 and is now writing to park boards,
museums, etc., offering it for sale.'

MAY Revise Water r" ties.

A special meeting of the council was
held yesterday morning and the mat
ter of fixing the street sprinkling dis
drict was referred to the board of
public works. A committee was also
appointed to take some action in re-
gard to changing the water rates, it
being contended that under the pres
ent system of charging there is more
or less loss to the city. One proposed
rating would make consumers Of 5000
gallons pay cents per gallon; 1000,
81 cents; 5000, 3 cents; 5000, q cents;
5000, cents; $4,000, II cents. The
minimum annual charge will probably
remain unchanged.

rose and fell like the thunder of an
angry sea; they terrified her, made
her afraid of herself. so that she
turned out the lights in her room,
and, crouching in her bed, tried to be
deaf to the uproar and to shut the
picture of it from her eyes.
No realization of its monstrous in
justice could blind Esther to the folly
of that day upon which she had given
herself to Arthur in Paris. This
overwhelming, malignant hostility
opened her eyes and wrecked the pret-
ty logic which had buoyed her up
since the gates Of a royal prison
closed behind her. She began to see
now how great wrong she had done
the man she loved by surrendering to
his will. These people, she said,
would have been loyal subjects but
for that act of theirs, which had SO
hurt their pride and destroyed their
ambitions. And to this was added
and passing experience. Esther be-
lieved that the mob would force the
palace gates and drag her out. She

afraid. Every sound within the pal

would set her heart beating wildly. 1t
occurred to her quick mind that this
visit might not be so accidental as it
appeared and that her enemies in the
city might have sent the people to the

on prvingly to ask her of the wedding
ceremony at st. Eustache and of her
journey to st. Girons, she answered
briefly and without interest. Julia was
quite unable to disguise her own mo-
tives. She had loved this man. The

the simplicity of child. He has had

London knows more about his life
than you will ever learn. He always ad-

wildly.

Esther, you will need all your cour-
age"
She went on to reiterate her own
promises and to invent upon the spot
quite imaginary events as the witness
Of her friendship. With tears in her
eyes she deplored the absence of the
English Consul from Cadi He had
gone to Switzerland upon a holiday and
was not expected back until the end of
the month. Her brother had visited
the consulate directly he received the
fateful news. He was both annoyed
and distressed at the ConsuI's absence.

when Madame Julia visited Esther at
the palace: but as night wore on, it
happened that a messenger rode in to
the commanding generals quarters and
thence gathering through the city cried
his news, whatever it was, at the
houses of the senators and the minis
try. A majority of the inhabitants had
gone to its bed by this time, but a few
loiterers, hearing the bugle call C'boot
and saddle'O, in the cavalry barracks,
were drawn thither by a waking curl
osity, and these passed the tidings to
others, the sleeping populace presently
aroused itself, and the news went, as
upon the wind, that the Prince had
crossed the frontier, and was riding
down to the northern gate. Such a
surprising turn was the very last
which the city had expected. Even
when cavalry appeared in the great
square and messengers passed breath
lessly from house to house, the most
sagacious were unconvinced.
They go on a fools errandl" was
the cry. "Some one has hoaxed them
wait and see! They will look foolish
by and by!'' But others said 1T is
certainly true; for the Duke has rid
den to the citadel" The less probable
story gained ground every moment
Excited both by the hour and the
event, a considerable mob began to
gather in the market place and to
cry out for torches. Demonstrations

helmets of the guards, and last of all
the figure of one who rode alone upon a
chestnut horse. and before whom,
meeting him thus face to face, his peo-
pie fell to silence. Esther declared af-
terward that she was conscious of Ar
thurs presence even before she saw
him. A passionate desire to go to him,
to stand at his side, to answer the peo-
pie for him, Knocked her helpIessness
and filed her eyes with tears. Her
pride in him declared that he was a
worthy figure for the homage of a pop
ulace. Tall and manly, sitting his
horse to perfection, his white uniform
catching the golden light, his demeanor
fearless and unconcerued, even the
multitude had the will to forget, and
many a voice which erstwhile had
cursed now blessed him. Cheers broke
out and were with difficulty suppressed

had gathered stones dropped them
shamefacedly. Young men cried

unaccused by the citizens; but Esther
fingered still at her window as though
some miracle of the night would carry
her message to him she loved.
.
Some one knocked upon her door a
little timidly and she opened it, know
ing that help had come TO her at last.
Her astonishment was great when she
discovered that her visitor was Colonel
Varez, anxious to apologize for that
which she had suffered.
Madame" he said with unaccus-
toned eloquence, 'I can not find words
in which to express my regret"
Esther had not liked this man, but
he had the air of an honest soldier, and
she would not do him the injustice to

much beloved here, but love does not
rob a people of their pride. The Span
ish faction chose Arthur's wife for him
a year ago; they wished him to marry
into the royal house. We knew that
they would be disappointed. If this
were a great European country, all the
nonsense they talk would be intelligi-
BILE; but it is only a province, child, not
much larger than one of your English
counties, and they are making them
selves ridiculous. The worst of it is
that while they are ridiculous they are
not the less dangerous. We are true
Spaniards in pride and temper, as Ar
thur will find if he puts his head into
the lions mouth. 1 do not believe he
will do any such thing. Francis has
sent messengers to the hills, and they
will stop him. That was my prayer be-
fore the altar this morning-that our
friends may be in time. I dare not
think what would happen if he should
come"
1t was all a rodomontade, false and
sham. Madame Julia had not been to
church that morning, and no messen-
gers had ridden out to the hills; indeed,
the deception was as childish as it was
unnecessary, although tt achieved its
baser purpose of infiicting pain upon
its victim. Had Esther known her own
mind less well, she might have suf-
bering how little worthy she was of
that station to which marriage had
lifted her. But this was far from be-
ing the case.
Doctor Xavier must come to me-"
she said firmly, "and 1 shall then be
able to explain everything to him. I
do not think you will prevent Arthur
riding in. What happens to me does
my duty, Julia; it would be no COM
pliment to your country to believe that
it's men are cowards-at least, until
they prove themselves so. There are
other ways Of telling people in London
perhaps 1 shall find one Of them"
Julia could believe no such thing.
You poor child!" she said, how
little you know-how very little!"
With this and other vague consola-
tions she took her farewell. Esther
saw no one else that day, not even little
Marguerite. The night found her
searching the distant hills with anxious
eyes. Would Arthur come? Had they
warned him? What would tomorrow
bring? She could not tell. Slowly but
surely the ordeal was robbing her of
her will and resolution. She drew the
curtains reluctantly at last and shut
out that dim vista of the range and
pass which stood up so formidably be-
tween herself and liberty. The palace,
itself. was as silent as the grave. She
might have believed, but for the SEN
try's football. that she was the one
living being within it.

CHAPTER XVIII

Night had fallen upon the sleeping
city, a glorious night Of a southern
winter, with an azure heaven Of stars
above and the gentle breath as of a
summer eve upon the shrouded earth
below. In Cadi itself the unrest which
had troubled the capital for many days
appeared to have subsidized. The va
garies of parties ended for moment
in truce Of doubt. None believed that
the Prince would return. A higher
tribute was paid to his wisdom.
This had been the state of things

believe that his regrets were unreal. A
man of few words. he continued to re-
peat his apologies, and so earnestly
that she accepted them without ques-
ton.
II have been more frightened than
hurt" she admitted candidly. "Of
course it was very alarming. 1t will be
time enough tomorrow morning to ask
what 1 am to do. Please be careful or
you will cut yourself with the glass; it
seems to be everywhere"
He flung the door wide open and in
vited her into the antecnamber.
Il will order them to prepare another
room at once" he said; meanwhile,
since we are all so very much awake,
perhaps you would allow the Duke to
add his apologies to mine. He is wait
ing In the salon, madame. He drove
here at once when he learned what had
happened"
The news was the best that Esther
could have heard. Her desire to meet
Doctor Xavier face to face had been
with her since she crossed the frontier.
Rightly or wrongly, she hoped much
from that friendship by which both
fortune and troubles had come to her.
Francisco Xavier would never range
himself finally upon the side Of her en-
emies, she argued; and so she followed
the colonel with confidence, not a little
nd crIo
Ion to which he conducted her was
light enough for her quick eyes, and
she recognized her benefactor at once
a cloaked figure in the shadows. He
did not rise to greet her, did not for
the moment appear aware Of her pres
ence; but, instructing the colonel brief
ly, desired him to withdraw.
'I am engaged for an hour, varez-
admit no one."
The soldier saluted and withdrew,
and when the door was shut and Es-
ther had advanced little way into the
room, the Doctor put his hand upon a
switch by his chair and instantly
flooded the room with blaze Of light.
Come here, camarade; come here
and let me have look at you'll"
Esther had never known what 1t was
to disobey him, and. despite the some
what brutal masterfulness Of his de-
meanor. she crossed the room and
stood before him. while he, throwing
himself back in his chair, regarded her
closely.
YES" he said slowly, "as I thought
the petals fall but the flowers remain.
Do you know that a month has greatly
changed you, camarade? Time laughs
at our little schemes, see, and vet
time Is sometimes wiser than we.
When politics give me time to return to
my laboratory. will set down time
and trouble among my enemies"
He appeared to muse upon 1t. clasp
ing his hands and upclasping them
several times before he could bring his
mind to the present circumstances.
Let me see; 1t is not twenty days
since I left you in Paris!" he resumed
at length; "much has happened since
then, camarade-for one thing you
have been very foolish; for another, I
have been premature"
Esther protested; the first word she
had spoken to him.
why did you leave me?" she asked,
little passionately; why did you
bring this trouble upon me when be-
ieved you to be my friend?"
He had expected her reproach, but it
did not distress him. After all she was
but pawn in the great game he had
