Japanese soldiers are fed on rice,

in Japan, except in the navy, where

EXPERIMENT WAS A SUCCESS
How a Couple of Illinois Stock Dealers
Made the Butchers Strike at Chi

Oregon, I'll, Sept. while the
great stock yards strike was going on
in Chicago and at other United States
markets, two Illinois farmers of this
vicinity were making an interesting
experiment of shipping beef direct
from Illinois farms to Liverpool, Eng
land. The names Of the enterprising
stock dealers and raisers are H. c..
Cleveland, of Rochelle, and H. J. Cleve-
land. of Dement,.
They loaded 267 head of cattle into
thirteen cars on the Northwestern road
and shipped them over the Lake Shore
line direct to Portland, Me-, where
they were put on board vessel and
sent to Liverpool, III. G. Cleveland and
his son Earl, making the trip to at
tend the cattle in transit. At Liver
pool Cleveland received $50 a head
for his cattle, which amounted to $24,-
3O3 for the bunch" The feed en- route
cost $500. The net profit per head
was $40 or total of $5,340.

HAVING A PECK OF TROUBLE

Detroit, Mich, Sept. Mrs. En-

a peck of trouble. When she moved
to that address few months ago she
purchased two bed room suites in the
house from the retiring occupant be-
ing assured the furniture was all paid
for. Later a furniture company
swooped down and hauled the fur
niture to the store. Mrs. Green threat
ened the man who sold her the furni-
ture with prosecution if he didn't re-
fund, which he promised to do, but her
troubles didn't end.
When her roomer came home in the
evening he said he had placed an en-
velope containing S. bill under the
paper on the bottom of one of the
drawers of the missing bureau. Mrs.
Green went to the furniture store, but
nobody had seen the envelope. Now
the roomer threatens to make her pay

LEICESTER RAM.

Blackwell, 1726-95, sought chiefly to
increase the early maturity of this
breed and lessen the size Of the bone
and increase the weight Of flesh. The
characteristics secured at that early
time are maintained in the modern
representative. The face is bare and
pure white, body square, fore quarters
especially full, with the hind quarters
peculiarly rounded on top.
The marked aptitude Of the repre-
sentatives Of this breed to fatten re-
suits in remarkable backs, but fire.
quently the same aptitude produces a
soft and uneven covering. The Border
Of Leicester, originating from an in
fusion of Cheviot blood, is generally
stronger in bone and more vigorous
than the English type. The wool of
the fleece is lustrous, five or six inches
long and very soft, though frequently
too open and sometimes absent on the
belly

Small Republican Loss.
ROOsEvELT's ACCEPTANCE
Points from His Letter, Accepting the
r& Party Leadership.

New York, Sept. - - President
Roosevelt's letter of acceptance, which
has been given out for publication, is
highly pleasing to the Republican lead
ers. 1t is like all his announcements,
straight and strenuous. He is ag-
gressive from first to last, and at
tacks his political opponents, rather
than defends his party. Among the
notable passages in the letter are the
following:
"A party which, with facile ease,
changes all it's convictions before cleo
ton cannot be trusted to adhere with
tenacity to any principle after election.
Ii on one great issue they
1.-THE Democrats do not mean what
they say, it is hardly safe to trust
them on any other ISSUE"
Free trade and. reciprocity are not
compatible. s ~ If tariff law
is passed aimed at preventing the
prosperity of some Of our people, it is
as certain as anything can be that
this aim will be achieved only by cut
ting down the prosperity of all our
people"
'There is not policy, foreign or
domestic, which we are now carrying
out, which it would not be disastrous
to reverse or abandon. This
government has been true to the spir-
it of the fourteenth amendment in the
Philippines. Can our opponents deny
that here at home the principles of
the fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments have been in effect nullifed?
If continued in power we
shall continue our foreign policy and
our handling of the navy on exactly
the same lines in the future as in the
past"
''They 1.-THE Democrats] have occu-
pied three entirely different positions
ION the Philippines within fifty days.
Which is the promise they really in
tend to keep? Where there
is no respect there can be no trust.
A policy with so slender basis of
principle would not stand the strain
of a single year of business adversely"
''Since the close of the war with
Spain there has been no substantial
change in the rate of annual eXpendi-
lures"
