 The unusual action is contemplated because Prince Fushimit IS probably the most distinguished envoy Japan has ever sent to this country. He is one of the heroes of the present war and was the commander of the Japa- nese forces at the battle of Hanshan hill. He will be officially entertained in Washington at the legation and there will be much ceremony to ac- cord with his rank.

BEST SAILORS ARE
FROM THE WEST

Washington, Oct. 22.--The west is to be asked to contribute another quota of men to the United States navy. At least 4OOO additional jackies gre need cd to fully man the vessels now in commission in Uncle Sam's navy. and the young men from the interior are to be given an opportunity to make up ths deficit. Naval officers are uDani- nous in saying that the recruits which come from the western states make the best kind of sailors on men of war, and they are anxious to have more of them. They are intelligent, quick to learn, and as a rule become enthusiastic over naval work. Congress will be asked 70 increase the strength of the navy personnel both in offices and men in order to properly man the ships which are now nearing completion. This will make an opportunity for several thousand more young westsrners who want to see the world and get well paid while seeing it.

 Council Bluffs has a mayor who oRght to be obliged to diet the rest of his days on bean soup and eat it out of a jug with a gimlet. He notified the leading newspaper of that town to clean it's front windows. The editor obeyed the order and then got more than even by calling upon the mayor to clean the streets. The stuff from the windows and window siils had filled the street with debris and it took the entire city force hours to gather 1t up and put it away.
 'fThe brilliant light has now made six ot the newspapers compositOTs blind and melted all of the rollers of the press; besides that. no ons could find the office for thIee days. 1t was so changed. The suns rays exploded the office towel, and the ink on the towel catching fire melted the type in the office and it ran out of the second story window on to the street oar track and soldered the switch solid. so that a man starting to Lake MaDRwa to swim went to Omaha and was run in by the polioe.'
