out upon the cnarred edges or a sheet
of paper, when a live coal has dropped
from the CRATE, SO, as the last words
fell from his lips, there ran around the
circle of listening councillors a thin
murmur of unmistakable approval In
the next instant-as the ring Of smoul-
dering fire breaks out into open flame
the murmur of appreciation sweiled
into something like enthusiastic ap-
plause, and the very councillor who
had hitherto seemed suspicious of
Number Two's credentials called out
Hands up, those who vote that
Number Two's proposal be accepted"
Like parcel of school-boys who
shoot out eager hands for permission

This also receiving the assent of the
meeting, the council next proceeded to
settle who should act with Number
Two in obtaining possession of the dy-
Mantle. Lots were cast, and the duty
falling to the share of Number Three,
he was instructed to join Number Two
in London. travelling thither by the
other line, to avoid attracting attention.
The only matter that remains for
us to SETTLE said our self-constituted
chairman, Number Two, ''is that of
our departure from this wagon We
must go at different times and by diff
ferent routes: and as Number Two and
Number Three are leaving this morn
ing, | propose that Numbers -Four and
Five should wait until nightfall, and
go by different routes, and that Num-
bers Six and Seven should leave to-
morrow morning, one travelling by the
Tilbury line and the other by the Great
Eastern"
This was an arrangement by no
means to my liking, as it would give
| Number Two and Number Three a

| my mind to devote my best energies
| to frustrating their attempt to lay

| Two and Number Three depart upon
| their errand of devilry.

THOM. |. CHILDS
WHO PROMOTED cANToN-AKRoN,
WILL RUN FOR MAYOR
OF AKRON

Akron, Nov. 25.-Having had the
satisfaction of seeing several of the
members of the city council, who
refused him franchise for his new
electric line between Akron and Mas
sillon, defeated at the polls Thomas l..
Childs, well-known street railway
promoter, has announced his can
didacy for mayor of Akron.
Good government and the Turkey
foot-Massillon railway" is to be the
Child's slogan. His railway was pro-
posed to be built to Massillon by way
of Turkeyfoot lake. Childs has been
backed by most of the business inter-
ests of Akron. But in the council he
has been opposed by several council.
men. Last spring the council gave
Childs franchise in this city by a
margin Of one vote, but repealed 1t at
a special meeting held later in the
same week. Childs threatened to go
into the courts, but on the advice OF
friends took the matter to the polls
and helped defeat several of the coun.
cilmen.

FINGER RING
MISSED BY A NEW BERLIN BOY

Two young boys came to Chief Nc
Cloud yesterday afternoon at about 5
o'clock and one of them made the
statement to him that he had been
robbed Of finger ring at the Garden
theatre by girl with whom he was
drinking there and who Is employed at
the establishment. The boys said they
came from New Berlin and had gone
to the theatre to see the matinee per-
formance. AS soon as they were seat

up to them and ordered the refresh

COTTON men
OF GREAT BRITAIN MAY MAKE A
VISIT TO THE SOUTHERN
STATES.

London, Nov. 26.-London Times.)
1t is probable that the Lancashire
Cotton association will accept the in.
vitation extended by the municipal
ties, cotton exchanges and chambers
of commerce, to visit the southern
states. Some objection is made, how
ever, to the acceptance Of the invita-
tion on the ground that the New Eng
land and Southern manufacturers as
sociationS are not concerned in it.
1t has been urged by some Lancashire
manufacturers that the invitation is in
the interest of American growers an
in opposition to British cotton grow
ers. But this suggestion does not
seem to have great support in view
of the heartiuess of the invitation, the
zeal with which it Is pressed and the
high character of those responsible fol
it. The prevailing idea is that moth,
ing but good could come of an inter.
change of courtesies between people
so closely associated.

complete strategic country there
abouts was dominated by our guns.
"Oyama is not embarrassed at all.
He lacks neither men, munitions nor
anything needful for the work in
hand. The recruiting possibilities of
Japan under the universal system of
military service are still immense; !;
transport is efficient and supplies are
practically unexhausted. The finan-
cisl position Is such that we can, If
necessary, dispense with foreign mon
ey and yet continue the war several
years.
Naturally, we prefer IL possible,
and think 1t will be easily possible, to
borrow a reasonable amount rather
than begin to turn the final resources
of the nation into cash; but that ex,
pedient is always open to us. The
patriotism and morals Of the people
remain above praise. Russia may
continue for long time to pour bat.

except to defeat them duly az they

WATER At MUKDEN
NOT FIT TO DRINK
COSTLY DISTILLiNG PLANT HAS
BEEN ORDERED,
But There Is No Proper Power In the
City to Operate the APP
paratus.

Paris, Nov. 26.-Uondon Times.)-
The water at Mukden being so foul as
to be undrinkable. the Russian gov
ernment has just purchased in France
a complete plant for distilling and ster-
ilizing water, and have paid several
hundred thousand francs for the lat
est models Of apparatus.
Before dispatching their purchases
to Mukden, however, the Russian au-
thorities decided to consult eminent
French medical and sanitary experts,
attached to the army here, as to
whether the distilling and sterilizing
plant was in perfect order and would
do all that was promised Of it. The
expert replied in the affirmative, but
pointed out that the apparatus could
only be worked by gas power. There
being no gas in Mukden the Russian
government is now endeavoring to can
eel the bargain with the manufacture
ers of the apparatus. The question re-
mains what will the Russian army al
Mukden do for water.

that fair play demanded going east

At Dennison an elderly man lifted
a young raccoon by a chain and tried
to present him to the president. The
