Sure Rockford VIII stick.

Rockford RegiSter-GaZette: Manag-
or Owens is wasting little time worry
ing about whether Rockford will be a
member of the league next season or
not
According to the Three-Eye constitu-
ton it will require seven votes to Dust
Rockford at the annual meeting and it
will he impossible to secure this num-
Der.
Before Mr.. Owens left Dubuque he
had a conference with the officials of
the baseball club i'll that city and he
was assured that at least one vote
would be cast for the Forest City at
the meeting. Mr.. Owens has also dis
.cussed the matter with Davenport of
ficials, and he has assurance of the
support of Manager Hayes.
The Rockford club has done nothing
whereby its franchise can be taken
away. and the failure to muster the re-
Quired seven votes means that this
city will be a full fledged member of
the league in 1905.

The Famous Writer
En- Route to
Orient.
(From Sundays Daily.)

George KEENAN,, whose descriptions
of the wretched existence of Russian
exiles in Siberia electrified the world
many years ago, and for which he Is
now a marked man in the Russian EN-
pire, ia a passenger on the army trans
port Buford, which arrived from San
Francisco last evening. He is accom-
panied by Mrs. KEENAN,.
The distinguished author and cores
pondent is EN- route to Manila, whence
he will so to Japan, Korea and even
into Manchuria should fortune so favor
him. His entry into the last named
country will probably not be effected
unless Japan sweeps Russian authori-
ty from its confines.
Mr. KEENAN, believes. all things con-
sidered, that Japan's opportunities for
ultimate victory overtop those of Rus
STA. He cites many advantages accru-
ing to the Japanese military forces not
possessed by Russia. One of these is
that Japan is fighting nearer her own
base, while Russia is practically fight
ing 5000 miles away from the seat of
government. He says also that the
Japanese are practically fighting on the
same ground they traversed in their
1S94-5 campaigns. Almost every foot of
the Pingyang country, he says. was
trodden by Japanese armies at that
time, and this former experience he be-

FOUNDED IN HONOUR.

No doubt you have seen in the

this concerning some medicine or
other: elf, on trial, you write
that this medicine has done you
no good we will refund your

had reason to speak in that way
concerning the remedy named in
this article. In a trade extern
ding throughout the world, no.
body has ever complained that
our medicine has failed, or asked
for the return of his money. The

popularity and success. There is
nothing to disguise or conceal.
1t was not dreamed out, or dis

qualities. I am personally acquainted
with a Russian officer on Admiral
Alexieff's ship and he said that in his
judgment the Japanese surpass the
Russians in organization, in their
transportation methods, and mobiliza-
ton, but failed in staying powers. This
officer knew both armies well. 1t was
his opinion that the Japanese would
lose heart If they met with two or
three severe reverses, and that the Rus
slams would not, being of more phleg-
matte temperament.
Then, too, 1t seems to me the Japa-
nese will have a slight advantage ow-
ing to the necessity of changing their
tactics to meet modern war conditions.
In all the wars of Russia she has fought
with her soldiers in close formation.
The victory at PleVna was won by a
solid phalanX of soldiery. The Russians
will fight well in this way, but modern
rapid fire and machine guns will tear
such a formation to pieces. But in such
a formation and with their leaders di-
rectly with them the Russians will fight
bravely. But to fight in open order,
scattered along a thin long line, out
of reach of their officers voices, the in
dividual soldier will practically be I'M
able to act for himself or take the in
itiative. This is the greatest value Of
the American soldier-his own intelli-
gence to prompt him. The Russian
won't do that. He has been accustomed
to authority all his life. He Is told
what he must do almost from his birth
and he relies on some one else to plan
for him. TO put the Russian soldier
out of reach of his officers would be
like casting him adrft upon the sea.
summing up all the conditions |
think the advantages are decidedly In
favor of the Japanese Russia Is not
SO well off financially as reports have

dition, on the contrary, II very bad, and

PATIENT IS
A SUICIDE
japanese Drives Knife
Into His Throat
Sunday.

Despondent over continued illness and
japanese, residing in n room of n Jap
anese lodging house near Ahoo's sta
bles, committed suicide yesterday fore
noon about IL o'clock. A case knife,
driven several times into the neck. pos
sibly severing the jugular vein, was
used by Shimojo.
The Japanese, who was about thirty
three years of age. had resided in the
same room for a couple of years. For
the past six months neighbors say he
had been very i'll. He coughed continu-
ally and was probably suffering from
tuberculosis and his emaciated form in
Dictated that his strength was nearly
spent.
The mans plans We're of the most
deliberate character. He had laid
mattress on the floor close to low cot.
A small pillow was placed at one end
of it. Near by was beer bottle and
a glass filled with water. From the
position of the body when found the
suicide either was in a half reclining
position on his right side, or else had
lain down when he killed himself. When
the body was discovered by neighboring
roomers it was lying in natural posi-
ton on the cot and pillow. The knife
had been jabbed into the neck close to
the collar bone and a great deal of
blood was lost. The knife was found
under the right hand.

LOOKS LIKE
UNFAIR DEAL
Carter Sends Urgency
Gables on Army Bill
Amendments.
(From Sundays Daily.)

| Governor Carter sent urgent cable
grams to Secretary Taft and Delegate
| l<uhio yesterday afternoon, regard
ing amendments proposed to the Army
appropriation bill of which he had re-
ceived mail advices. He thinks that
the amendments contain features dis
eliminating against the interests of
Hawaii.
One of the amendments provides that
in, computing length of service for re-
tirement double time is to be given for
actual service in China, Cuba, the Phil
ippines, Guam. Alaska and Panama,
but shall not be given hereafter for
services rendered in Porto Rico and
Hawaii.
Another proposed amendment pro-
vides that the 20 per cent raise to en-
listed men and 10 per cent to officers
shall apply to those serving in the
Philippines, Guam. Alaska and Pana-
ma, leaving out Porto Rico and Ha-
wall.
1T looks like discrimination against
u.s. the Governor said while he held
the drafts of amendments and of his
cablegrams in his hand.
AS we are now situated these
amendments would make the Army
men dislike service in Hawaii. Their
effect would also tend to lower the
moral tone of the forces located here.
Il have prepared message to Sec
rotary Taft asking him II this will not
discriminate against service in Hawaii,
where the cost of living is high, as well
as lower the moral tone of officers and
men. l ask him if he cannot change 1t.
Il am also wiring to Kuhio, asking If
there is any reason for such discrim-
ination against Hawaii.
THE merchants should feel aroused
over the proposition. 1t means less
money paid out here, which is a phase
of the matter that concerns the busi-
ness community. The Merchants As
ISOLATION, 1 should think, might take
some action"
