SWINE BREEDERS HOLD
SECOND ANNUAL DINNER
Farmers Gather Around Banquet
Table and Toast to His
Majesty, the Pork.

That the annual banquet of the Swine
Breeders Association has become a perma-
nent feature at the annual meetings was
vouched for last night when over 200 of In
diana's most prominent raisers of pork
gathered around the banquet table at the
Denison Hotel and spent an evening that
all will remember with pleasure and profit
for years to come. During the twenty
seven years career of the Indiana State
Swine Breeders Association the banquet
last night was the second that has been
held. The custom was inaugurated last
year and so much success was met that the
banquet this year was planned and far ex-
celled all expectations.
The banquet was held at o'clock and
lasted for almost two hours, after which
the chairs were pushed back and until
nearly midnight the toilers of the farm
lands, some of them not quite at home,
discussed the subject nearest their hearts
Indiana's unexcelled hogs David Wallace,
of this city, was POSTMASTER of the BAN
quet and called upon all those who had de-
voted their lives to the Improvement of the
stock of the swine.

bear, and the first man he set his eyes on was the marker, who had been busy at his work and had not had time to run. The bear jumped on the carriage that moves the log up to the band saw and at the same time the marker gave a jump and disappeared.
 The sawyer, who had not taken alarm, probably because thet rip of the saw had drowned all other noise, was the only man left in view Now the bear, which had crawled upon the log, made lurch for him. The motion of the log evidently deceived the bear, for he lurched up against the big band saw with violence that nearly broke it in two A rip in his shoulder only served to make the bear more desper- ate. Another big rip by the saw teeth practically put his right paw out of commission, and by that time the crew had rallied and knocked him out with canthooks and sledgehammers.
 The bear was one of the largest ever seen in this vicinity, measuring fully five feet and weighing 450 pounds. The skin will be patched and mounted and will be sent on to the St, Louis fair to be put on exhibition in the New Hampshire building.

JAPANESE-RUSsIAN WAR.
Precipitating Causes of Conflict Have Long Existed Between the
 Two Nations.


 The real causes of the war between Japan and Russia are thus clearly and simply set forth by writer in Suc- cess:
 The provocatives of the war between Japan and Russia have long existed For many years, more especially since the conflict between China and Japan, the Japanese have watched the ad- vance of the Russians in the far east with considerable anxiety. Japan has seen that the main object of her en- croachment has been to possess the whole of northeastern Asia, and she has recognized, with all the intensity of possible victim, that the accom- plishment of such an intrusion would destroy her island kingdom as com mercial and independent power The argument which was advanced by Rus sia to induce Japan to restore Port Arthur to China, after the Chinese Japanese war, is applicable with double force to the present case Rus sia saw that Japan had gained an un- precedented foothold in territory that bore vital relation to her destiny in the far east, and forthwith began to make it absolutely uncomfortable for Ja- pan by overshadowing her with ships and batteries.
 It may be said that Russia has not attempted to absorb Korea; but, also, she has not threatened to absorb Man churia. Her original promise was that Manchuria was to be returned to Chi nese rule, and she even set time when her troops were to pc withdrawn. To put it frankly, Russia has not kept her word. To-day Manchuria is nearly as much Russian province as Siberia. Japan, therefore, mistrusts her great adversary. When she demanded the complete independence of Korea and the complete restoration of Manchuria to China it was with full misgivings that Russia would not accede. Japan, although an intruder in Korea, nearly or quite as much as Russia is in Man churia, has been the practical ruler of the idle, unambitious Koreans for many yea7s. The mikado's realm is gradually growing too small for the energy and growth of it's 45,0O0, ,O00 in habitants, and it's people ask, why should they not emigrate to the main land? If they do, it means that the Manchurian railway, which the Rus sians have built to connect the Trans Siberian railway with southern ports, will be obliterated as distinctly Rus sian line, and that Russia's commercial ambitions will receive severe set back; hence the underlying reasons which make the Russian side of the grievance

CHINA'S GREAT EXHIBIT.
Magnificent Temples of the Celestial Empire Shown at the Worlds Fair

St Louis. May 6.--After centuries of EeclusiOn, China has emerged from her { shell to enter the world of progress and mingle with other great nations. ]. Her exhibit at the worlds fair in St Louis is one of the surprises of the : exposition. Especially attractive is the Chinese exhibit in the Liberal Arts Palace. This exhibit, in charge of D. : Pereebois, occupies q prominent place in this huge building and attracts i'm mediate attention by it's artistic pago- aas, fantastic carvings and gaudy col Ors.
 This exhibit is approached through . three entrances all Surmounted with gorgeous pagoda roofs in many colors, skillfully put together without nails, screws or bolts. At the central en- trance there is an elaborate double roofed pagoda like that used ill the Chinese palaces, temples and other great buildings. There is also mag nificent memorial arch or "Pai Lou z and a complete model of the great tenn i pie of the Chinese city of Ming Pc. Iris temple is a wonderful work of art, richly carved with figures repre-, senting battle features of the days of I Confucius, and decorated carving, gaudy and gorgeous in scarlet and gold. The gilt work is of surpassing beauty and gives the temple an ap- pearance of magnificent grandeur. Every detail is carefully carried out and is a perfect copy, of the Ming Pc temple
 The front entrance to the outer court is guarded by sentinels stationed at the gate and upon the parapets of the great walls surrounding the temple, 7'w4ile immediately over the gate is the. guard house. where additional troops are in reserve for emergencies.
 The inner court leads to another gate which approaches the tneater. The Chinese theater proper is not place of amusement but is part of the tenn ple of worship, where Chinese assem- 'ble on great occasions or after having escaped some calamity, to offer praise and thanksgiving to their gods and re 5, joice and make merry in their grati- tude Of late years, since the advent of foreigners into the Celestial empire, the Chinese theater has changed ma terially and has become place of amusement. The theater shown at the temple of Ming Pc is as it existed in the time of Confucius
 From the theater a smaller court leads to the temple proper, where the idols are enthroned at the great altar and side altars. Here the carving is still more elaborate and the interior of the temple Is a picture of gorgeous splendor.
 Several smaller temples and resi- dences of Chinese dignitaries are also shown at the worlds fair in all of their fantastic beauty and magnifi- cence.

DIFFER ON FOOD QUESTION.
Experts and Professors Constantly Studying the Effects of Differ
 ent Diets on Mankind.

Day after day humanity undertakes the task of solving the food problem, and the war of the vegetarians against the diet of meat seems but barely begun, all though it is a battle of years standing ht that says the New York Telegram. One night lately our vegetarian friends sat down to a banquet from which they carefully eliminated animal food; al- though now and then dish suggested it, more by reason of the name it bore than by the taste it conveyed
 One must grant to the vegetarians one signal accomplishment, and that is their ability to develop an astonishing array of dishes and still spurn the outlet and the roast. Whether inclined or not to adopt the theory of living as the vege- tarian establish ss it, there is abundant variety and methods to please infinite tastes. In fact, it is quite possible to sit down to a vegetarian dinner and arise therefrom with grateful sense of having dined well and still not have been obliged to depend upon roast beef or roast lamb to satisfy the appetite.
 However, 1t is not so much to call att tention to the vegetarian diet that we have chanced to mention the recent banquet as it is to note how much the matter of foods is far from being set tied so far as mankind in general is con- cerned
 One man abstains from meat because he suffers from rheumatism. Another finds it out of the question to eat the simplest vegetable. properly cooked, be- cause it is certain to be followed by an attack of indigestion
 Professors, whose knowledge of foods and their benefit to the race is incontro- vertible, are not altogether satisfied with the way in which they are administered Various experiments are constantly be- ing conducted to ascertain the effect of this or that kind of diet upon man. kind
 One person finds it possible to live comfortably with no breakfast other than little fruit. Immediately scores adopt the same practice, hoping it may benefit them, and the no-breakfast fad suddenly appeals to a whole community
 Another decides to dispense with luncheon and santiluncheon' classes at once are organized, whosedevotees walk for half an hour or so In the open air in preference to sitting down and partak- ing of more substantial nourishment
 It is quite true that what is one man s food is another mans poison, and so there is no immediate danger that we shall all become reconciled to vege- tarian diet, notwithstanding the stanch- ness with which our vegetarian friends are willing to defend their faith.
 So the sandwich man and the hot saul sage man, the waffle baker and the pie maker can pursue the even tenor of their way, knowing that somewhere somebody will be found who will buy their wares and relish them, no doubt, too.
