When the voters 60 to the polls
next Tuesday they will have little
trouble in selecting the men they
wish to keep in Office. The affairs
of this county have been handled
in too good shape for the past eight
years to justify the people placing
anyone else in charge. The demo
cratic party has been SO economical
and efficient in it's administration
of the county affairs there is moth
ing 70 justify a change. Many of
the candidates have handled thei,
Offices ably and have shown their
ability and +ntegrity. 1t would
be foolish to put others in their
place whose ability is not known
and who may prove unfit for the
office. Don't experiment. Vote
for those who have been tried and
found all right.

CASSINI SAYS RUSSIA
WAS NOT PREPARED.

New York. April 29.-Count Cassini,
the Russian ambassador, contributes
to the forthcoming number of the
North American Review an article in
which, under the caption of Russia
and the Far East" he makes a state
ment of his governments position.
After briefly outlining the negotiations
which preceded the outbreak of hos
tilities, the ambassador says:
Russia has never. ceased to wonder
why the idea that she was willing and
anxious to make war with Japan be-
came so generally prevalent in the
United States. Prejudiced minds may
DISPUTE the statement that Russia
hoped for and tried to maintain peace,
but have no hesitation in making it.
II proof of the assertion be demanded,
1t lies in the simple, but uncontradict-
ed, answer, Russia was not prepared.
For the personal representative of the
russian Emperor to make an admis-
SION seemingly so humiliating to ma
uonal pride may appear strange and
remarkable to the people of the Unit
ed States, but is made with full appre-
cation of its Importance and signifi-

prepared for war because she had no
reason to expect war"

JAPS MAKE WAR ON
HUMANE PRINCIPLES.

Washington, April 29.-The advanced
position taken by the Japanese in the
adoption of humane rules of war is
strikingly shown in report to the
State Department from United States
Minister Griscom at Toxic, in which
he encloses a communication to him
self from Baron Komura, the Japanese
Minister of Foreign Affairs.
The minister shows that Japan is the
first country to give full effect to the
elaborate code of laws governing war
laid down by The Hague conference.
He announces that there already has
been put into operation by the Japa-
reese the rule of war regulating the
dispatch of letters, money orders and
Valuables between prisoners of war and
their friends in their own country. The
Japanese government also has ordered
that such prisoners be supplied free
with postal facilities, communication
and means of receiving gifts. Also
that they be not subjected to any rail-
way charges.

shoes as Disseminated. of Disease.
FROM American Medicine.

The trailing skirts Of womens
dresses have been justly rallied at as
carriers of filth and bacilli, but few
have suspected the similar role played
by boots and shoes. In cholera cpl
denies, it is said, a disproportionate
number of cases have occurred among
bootblacks. The Mohammedan ard
Oriental custom of forbidding the wor-
shippers to enter the house of prayer or
guests house wearing the street
shoes, Is ascribed not only to the eff
fects upon the floors, ETC., that would
result, but to the fact that disease is
thereby spread. OF course, one cam
not walk in our dejecta-strewn streets
and filthy roads without bringing home
upon boots millions of bacteria. Not
seldom the cleansing of the boots is
done in the kitchens or near them. The
methods of cleansing, moreover, are
such as to scatter every germ through
the air of the house. No one seems to
have ever given moments thought as
TO a less offensive and dangerous
method of cleansing, backing and poll
ishing boots and shoes. They are GER
tainly never purified on the inside
from the first to the last day they are
worn. A more evil-smelling thing
than an old boot is hard to find and
odor is not a bad indication of sanitary
and insanitary' qualities. He would be
a public benefactor who should devise
antiseptic methods of cleansing boots
and shoes and OF backing and polish
ing them.

SAY THAT RUSSIA
MAY YET BE SORRY.

London, April 30.-The daily papers,
commenting upon Russia's reputation
of mediation, display the customary
anti Russian bias and consider Rus
sias note as solely intended for home
consumption, as none of the Powers
would be likely to intervene unless pre-
viously assured that mediation would
be welcome. They also hint that Rus
STA may have cause to regret that
she closed the door prematurely on
the possibility of friendly intervention
and regard the note as dispelling all
hope of an early termination of hostil-
tiles.
The Daily Telegraph says: THE
note breathes an uncompromising de-
termination to fight while there is a
rouble in the treasury, but no other
course would be regarded worthy of
a great world power"
No further news of any kind has
been received regarding the reported
Russian reverse on the Yalu.

THE GUN ON THE IOWA
KNOWN TO BE Defective.

Naval Board, However, Decide to
Pass the FOrgings.
Washington, April 29.-The naval
board, consisting of Capt. Dayton,
Commander Fletcher and Lieut.. DEF
fenbach, appointed to investigate the
circumstances attending the bursting
of two eight-inch guns on the Iowa,
Feb. last, has reported to the Sec
rotary that the board finds that in
the firing of the guns all the usual
precautions were taken.
The report says that defects in the
gun forgings were developed at the
gun factory causing their rejection,
but on protest from the manufacturers,
they were subsequently accepted on the
finding of board, which reported the
defects not serious.
The present board finds that the
guns were as strong as designed to
be, but that the increase of muzzle
velocity at the same time the breech
pressure was decreased reduced the
margin of safety too much.
