service of the American, English
French Russian, German, Austrian and
Italian forces. The American and Eng
lish official reports of that campaign
frankly concede this fact. And in the
Japanese-Chinese war in 1S94-95, it
was almost as smooth working and
efficient, and did not break down dur
ing the rapid marches up the Corean
peninsula and across Manchuria to
Port Arthur and Newchwang.
And an efficient auxiliary of the
army hospital service is the Red Cross
society. In every large city in Japan
there are schools for training nurses.
At Toxic the empress, who is the spe-
cial patroness of the Red Cross hos
pital and school, always presides at
the annual graduation exercises and
with her own hands distributes the di-
plomas to the white-capped graduates.
The fact that one of the imperial
princesses has taken the full course OF
training, and other OF the court ladies
have followed her example, has proved
a power incentive to the young women
of Japan to enter these training schools.
Every province in Japan has
branch of the Red Cross and each year
q union meeting Of all these branches
is held at Toxic. Often as many as
10000 members gather in the great
outdoor session in Uyeno park. The
insignia of the order is seen every
where at this time, and there seems
immediate prospect that this impor-
tant auxiliary to the hospital and med
ical service will have plenty to do.
Preparations for the war which was
believed to be coming have been going
ON for months, and the local Red Cross
societies are in shape to render even
more efficient service than in the north
China campaign of 1900. Every year
has brought some flood, earthquake or
other disaster which has called forth
the efforts of the society, and the
prompt relief which has always been
extended is evidence of its preparedness
for service at all times. Baron Hashi-
noko Is at the head of the Red Cross in
Japan.
1t may not be generally known that
prominent physician of Chicago, DR..
Nicholas Sem, helped to organize the
Japanese Red Cross society, ard Is also
one of its directors. DR.. Sem has just
returned home from Japan, and 1t is
altogether likely that he will be sum-
moned to go back.
Russia, as we'll as all the other prin-
cipal powers of the world, has Red
Cross society, to supplement and
strengthen the work of the hospital
and medical service of the army, and
while 1t is not as we'll organized and

for proper care of wounded enemies
or prisoners.
The Geneva Red Cross treaty was
not adopted by the United States until
1882, and it remained fcT this country
to organize the civil branch of the So
ciety and have it adopted as the Amer
lean amendment. This provides for the
extending of relief in cases of disaster
other than war, and of !ate years the
American Red Cross society has taken
the lead in work of this character, the
most important instance being that in
connection with the Martinique vol
cano horror. An entirely new develop
ment of the work of tho American ma
tional society is in the industrial field,
where organized effort is being made
to provide efficient means of render
ing instant emergency treatment in
case Of accident occurring in factories,
mills, on the railroads. in stores,
schools, homes and wherever accident
is liable to occur.
Ever since Florence Nightingale
rendered such noble and splendid serv-
ices in the hospital at Scutari during
the terrible Crimea war in 1S54-56, the
power and efficiency of women in time
of war has been recognized. 1t Is
through the Red Cross society now
mainly that they extend their services,
but during the civil war in this coun-
try and when there was no Red Cross
organization through which to work,
the women came by hundreds and
thousands offering their service, and
rendering aid on the battle field and in
the hospitals which brought many a
poor fellow back to the land of the
living when he was just about to re-
spond to taps" On the other side. The
women did not have the uniform and
the insignia of the Red Cross then,
they did not have the splendid train
ing and organization to help them in
their work of mercy, but they did have
the same heroic, tender. compassion
ate spirit which moves womanhood To-
day to respond to the call of humanity
and follow in gentle ministry in the
wake of the warning armies. Then
there were the individuals moved by
one impulse of mercy and purpose of
service searching the battlefelds for
the wounded and dying after the smoke
of conflict had passed and the still dark
night had settled down; to-day there
Is the organized effort, the uniformed
corps, the systematic service, the per-
feet equipment. There can be no hope
to improve over the noble spirit Of
self-sacrifice and devotion or the wo-
men OF the days gone by, but with that
same spirit moving womanhood to-day
how vastly more effective become her
efforts through such an organization
as the Red Cross society

the election of his successor, the
joint session to be held for final bal
lot on Wednesday, March 2, at noon.
The long expected bill to abolish

have the bill passed, although it ex-
tends the terms of Mayor Johnson
eight months. Nearly all of the
measure. Cox will support it,
1t is the intention to rush the bill
through the senate with as little de-
lay as possible, in order to secure
early consideration in the house. The
spring election is close at hand, and
if it is to be abolished it is so desired
before preparations for the primaries
begin.
| Inc Dill provides Tor the election OF
all municipal officers and township
officers on the first Tuesday after tho
first Monday in November, and terms
of all officers expiring on the first
Monday in May are extended until
the first Monday in January after
election.
Other bills introduced in the senate
were: To appropriate money for the
common schools out of the funds for
1904 and 1905 at the rate of $1.75 per
capita of the school enumeration, ag-
gregating $4,25l 900; to amend the
municipal code for more economi-
,al administration of the sinking
fund department of cities and give
the trustees of such fund charge of
all the funds to collect and disburse
under that department.

idate by Means of Pickcting or
Boycotting to be Furnished
Each Member of the
Association.

Indianapolis, Feb. 23.-The first an
nual convention of the Citizens In
dustrial Association of America be-
gan here Monday. Over 250 delegates
are here. The address of President
Parry, of indianapolis, was the fea-
ture of the program.
BY unanimous vote, accompanied
by cheers, it was resolved:
THAT the propaganda of labor
unionism in the United States and the
every day practical workings thereof
are revolutionary and subversive of
the rights of labor and of the en-
ployers of labor and of the laws of
the land; above all, they are destruc-
tive of the liberties of the great body
of the people, irrespective of their
atfiliation with unionism or en-
ployers of labor; that the present
condition of anarchy and contempt
for law and the constituted authori-
ties brought about by lawless leaders
and memebrs of labor unions has
forced on peace loving citizens of the
United States the necessity demand
ing that the names and whereabouts
| of these law breakers who practice
intimidation by boycotting, picketing,
destruction of property and who
commit assaults upon their fellow
laborers, or commit other crimes in
the name of labor be made known for
the protection of all law-abiding peo.
pie and for the best interest of labor
itself and to the end that justice may
be meted out"
The executive committee was di-
rected to ascertain the identity OF
offensive persons indicated in the res
olution and to report them to each
member of the association.
A resolution maintaining tat the
open shop principle should prevail il
mining as well as in every other in
dustry was referred to the eXecutiv,
committee, pending possible strike
in bituminous coal mines. The re
ferred resolution averred that in tn,
event of strike "the full power o
the government should be used tc
maintain peace in the mining field
and to protect the right of every citi
zen to exercise his free own will t,
accept employment in mines.'
A resolution was passed denounc
ing the union label. Resolutions de
nouncing the eight-hour and the anti
injunction bills, now pending befor

An American Schooner Is Wrecked
Two Men Drowned While Trying 10
Rescue the Crew.
New York, Feb. 23.-Two men were
lost by the steamer York Castle,
which arrived Monday from Delagoa
Bay, in an attempt to give aid on
Sunday to the American schooner
Willie L. Newton, about 200 miles
southeast of Sandy Hook. The New
ton had lost her rudder head. The
steamer tried to launch life boat in
charge of Chief Officer Alexander
Turner, with four men. The falls be-
came jammed and as the ship was
rolling violently the five men were
thrown into the sea. After consider
able difficulty three of the men were
rescued, but Turner and Carpenter
Gray were lost.
The British steamer Micmac, which
arrived Monday from Huelva, brought
into port seven shipwrecked seamen,
the captain and crew of the schooner
Willie l.. Newton, which they aban-
doned at sea in latitude $3.50, longi-
tude 72.0S. The Micmac sighted the
distressed schooner four hours after
the steamer York Castle abandoned
the attempt to rescue the crew of the
wrecked vessel. At o'clock in the
afternoon of February 81 the first
officer of the Micmac and five seamen
launched a life-boat and after con.
siderable difficulty succeeded in trans

Struck OIL.

Celina, Feb. 2O.-The strongest oil
well ever struck in Mercer county
was drilled in Thursday on the Jacob
Didrick farm, five miles north of this
city. The oil began to flow when the
drill was about so feet in the sand,
and it is estimated that 1000 barrels
flowed upon the ground. Pits were
dug around the well, thus saving a
large portion of the oil. When the
well was controlled and capped it fill
ed tank at the rate of two barrels
per minute. Lumonion Brothers, of
Mendon, o., hold the lease, together
with 500 other acres in the vicinity,
and it is reported refused $4,000 for
their holdings.

Cleveland, Feb. ia peculiar fire
occurred at the Cooperative Stove
Co.'s works on Central avenue Thurs

Everybody was surprised when the

cupola of the building was ablaze.
But for the little thermostat the GU

.SA war Is hell" is again to
Sl,NS spell its awful truth out be-
\S fore the world. The boom
of cannon, the roar of mus
ketry, the clashing Of saber and bayo-
net, will be followed by the scenes of
agony and death. The raging, merci
less monster of war presses on in re-
lentless pursuit of his human victims,
and leaves behind the hundreds and
thousands of wounded, and dying and
dead, and then along this bloody path
comes the gentle tread of the messen-
gers Of mercy, as they seek to undo as
far as possible the awful destruction
wrought, to alleviate the suffering, and
to sweeten the dying moments of the
fatally wounded. AS modern invention
and ingenuity have increased the ter
ribleness Of war there has been cor
responding advance made in the organ
ization, equipment and drill of the hos
pital and ambulance corps of the
armies of the various countries.
Japan who has amazed the world In
the last dozen years by her remarkable
development and splendid advance
along commercial, Industrial, educa-
tional lines, has at the same time been
perfecting her army and creating a
navy that is her pride and boast, and
the dread of her present foe. And per-
haps the most striking feature and eff
6cient branch of Japan's army organ
lzation, splendid as it is, is the hospital
and medical service. Japan is cred
tied with having the model field and
military hospital service of all modern
armies. At Tientsin and Peking in

dciency and practical superiority when

The Yeast That RAISED the

1t will be interesting to all VINO use
Yeast, aud to many Others as well, to
know that Yeast Foam has been award
ed the First Grand Prize at St, Louis
Exposition. This is a worthy recogni.
ton OF the yeast that has practically
revolutionizcd the brcadmaking art
in this country. And it is true that the
bread of today, as compared with that
of ten or fifteen years ago, is not only
better made, but there is more nutri-
mcnt in ii on account of its greater
digcstibility. This is due in a measure
to modern methods OF grinding wheat,
but really to the general use Of a strictly
pure yeast. As the secret Of good bread
is in the yeast, evei V houscwiie who uses
Yeast Foam has become practical
breadmaker. A postal card sent to
Northwestern Yeast Company, Lhiago,
will secure their little book Good

DC i'll every home i'll the land. 1t tells
how to use Yeast Foam and gives many
valuable recipes never before printed. 1t
is well worth asking for.
