 Our townspeopie very much regret to have MT and Mrs Francis leave town. They have become so much identified in working for the good of the community in many ways. They were always ready to do anything that would help those who needed it in any form.

In the Grange it is almost considered calamity to lose them, as they have always been among the best workers, always ready to do, and doing it so we'll. The best wishes of our towns people will go with them to their new field of labors, with the hopes that they may find host of congenial friends to help and encourage them.

MEDIATION NOT WANTED.
Russia Would Not Consider It at TbiS
 Time

Washington, Nov. 17.-Emphatical- ly, but with all courtesy, Russia. through her ambassadors abroad. has several times informed the neutral powers that she will brook no media ton at this time in her war with Ja- pan. It can be announced that Rus sia expects her wishes will be respect ed by all the powers to which she has communicated her views.
 Count Cassini the Russian Ambassa- dor. said tonight to the correspondent of the Associated Press:
 'T can announce that have very good reason to believe that my gov ernments emphatic opposition to any mediation at this time will be respect ed and observed by all neutral DOW CTS"
 Of the suggestion made in Great Britain that the United States take the lead in a move for intervention, the Ambassador hesitated to repeat what he has announced so many times. that he has positive assurance that this ,rovernment. while at all times ready to offer assistance. has no desire to take a step toward mediation unless invited bv both belligerents. The Russian goverrment is fully aware of tbe views of this government on the subiect and 1t Is deemed unnecessary at tbe Russian embassy that the em- bassv again to announce that it Is con- fident this attitude will be strictly ad- heFed to,

Work of the General Committee at
 Boston Session.
 Boston, Nov. 1o.--The general mis- sionary committee of the Methodist church after considerable discussion today decided unanimously to appro- rIate si.22o.o00 for missionary work during the coming year. and that this sum be so distributed as to give s701.- 500 for work in the foreign field and s5is,50o for domestic work. The ques- ton of the apporionment of the money for foreign mission, among the various countries was deferred until tomor- row.
 The total appropriations for home mis- sion work today aggregated s125.o00 The parts of the country which were given special consideration were the rural districts of New England, the mining regions of Michigan. the prairie stretches of the trans Mississippi states. the new settlements in Okla homa and the Indian Territory; the mining camps of the Rock Mountains and the new settlements in the irrl- gated region farther west.
 The longest consideration given to any one question was that of the ap- propriations in Arizona. some members of the committee doubting the exped- fence of continuing so large a appro- priation as $7,000 for this territory because of the seeming lack of friit- fulness of the work carried on there. The debts brought out the peculiar heroism of the frontier preacher in the alka1i regions and deserts stretch- es, and the result of the discussion was to slightly increase ether than to 'decrease the TgpnfcS5f tations s3 -

 Turning to the Moorish question, M. Delcasse said the base of Frances CO., lonial empire was in the Mediterranean. Morocco, under French influence. meant Algeria strengthened; under foreign control 1t meant Algeria continually strengthened against France. The prob lem was how to establish French in- fiuence--in other words. strengthen Frances power in the Mediterranean, without offending the Powers.
 We have silently pursued the real ization of this aim." said M. Delcasse, and have wasted no time or efforts. We are now united with Italy in firm We have made with Spain an arrangement dictated by respect for international equity and desire for the peaceful approximation of Morocco. This arrangement is based on the in- tegrity of Morocco and the suzerainty of the Sultan. What we concede is val comedies Is valuable only to us.

WILL co TO THE FAIR
ROOSEVELT ACCEPTS COMMIT TEES INVITATION.
Saturday, November %, Is the Day De- cided Upon, and Members of
 the Cabinet May Ac- company President.

Washington, Nov. 10.-President Roosevelt has promised to attend the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Satur- day, November 26. He made this promise tonight to a committee from St. Louis headed by Mayor Weiles who came to Washington especially for the purpose of inviting him to visit the fair. The probability is that the president may remain in St. Louis until the night of Sunday, November 27.
 President Roosevelt has been anx- ious to go to St. Louis to see the fair ever since its opening. However. the presidential campaign compelled him to remain in the East during August, and he so informed Mir. William H. Thompson, treasurer of the exposi- ton.
 The committee to which the presi- dent this evening gave his promise to visit the fair consisted of Mayor Welles, William H. Thompson and Corbin H. Spencer. first vice presi- dent of the exposition. Their train was late so they did not reach Wash ington until six o'clock. Through Secretary Loeb an immediate audience with the president was arranged.
 The committee remained with him for half an hour and each member urged on the president the acceptance of the invitation pointing out the ap- propriateness of a visit of the chief executive of the nation and of the gratitude which would be felt by the people of St. Louis if he possibly could find time to go. The President cordially thanked the committee for its invitation and after consulting his en- agreements for the remainder of the month, he set Saturday the 26th as the most favorable opportunity avail able.
 It Is expected that the president and those who accompany him will leave here Thanksgiving night and will reach St. Louis early Saturday morning.
 The invitation to Mir. Roosevelt, 1t is understood, is comprehensive enough to include any other persons whom he may wish with him and some of the members of the cabinet are likely to accompany him.
 The members of the committee are highly elated with the promptness with which Mir. Roosevelt decided to visit the fair. They feel that his at- tendance will have an excellent ef- feet and that the day of his visit will banner day of the exposition's histo- ry. They say arrangements immedi- ately will bo made for fitting pro- gram for that day. the chief feature of course being a thorough inspection of the grounds and buildings of the great fair with such other appropriate features as befits the presence of the chief executive of the nation.
 For the Sunday following, should there be no disappointment of the committees expectations that the fa engagements for his entertainment will be made.
