TEMPERANCE SALOONS.

A writer IN Medical Talk for March
suggests "a substitute saloon" IN the
interest OF temperance, He takes the
view that the saloon fills a place that
cannot be left vacant, among our mod.
ern institutions, but that the objcc.
tionable features Of It can, and ought
to be. eliminated,
According to his Ideas, the temper.
ance resort should be located, as the
saloon Is, on prominent streets and be
easy Of access. The interior should be
elegantly furnished, Its walls should
be onamented with pictures represent
Ing our national heroes, II should have
mirrors, glasses, bottles. and the para.
phernalia that go to make a first class
saloon attractive, The bar keepers
should be gentlemen who would know
how TO make friends, and keep them
All kinds OF refreshing Temperance
drinks should be served, In addition.
there should be complete lunch coun-
ter provided with every dellcacy. There
should. further be a dining room pro-
vided for the exclusive use OF ladies'
accompanied by gentlemen, There

should be a separate entrance to this
room. Everything should be neat,
clean, and comfortable. Instead Of the
lunch-counter there should be tables,
with immaculate napery or polished
surface. In this room could be daintily
served the same things as provided for
the mems restaurant. Here the two
sexes could mlngle together In friendly,
convlvial intercourse. Something good

That is the suggestion It Is based
on the assumption that many people

Improbable.

THE TWO CONTESTANTS.

Tne question IL sometimes asked, now
many troops has Russia at the seat of
war? The movements Of Russian troops
toward the east has purposely been
kept secret, and II appears that the
number has been somewhat exaggerat-
ed. The Pekin correspondent OF the
London Times stated at the end OF
January, that the Russian strength
east Of Baikal' consisted Of only $780,
900 men, and 26s guns. East of Bal
kali means. however stretch Of ter
rtory $500 miles In length, This force,
the Times correspondent said Is COM
plete and we'll equipped, Among the
army corps In full strength or strongly
represented are the LIST and End Slber-
ian. the 10th Kharkoff and the 18th
Moscow OF the reserve infantry there
are sixteen batallions In Manchuria
There are five Cossack voiskos IN East
ern Asia with a possible complement
Of 10000 men. The field artillery con-
slsts Of 266 guns, OF which thirty-siX
are OF the new quick-hring pattern;
but the war department Is straining
every nerve to increase the number of
the 3-inch field piece which Is said to
have greater initial velocity and a
longef range than the Arisaka, the Jap
anese Quick-hrlng gun.
Another estimate based on informa-
ton obtained by the United states war
department places the Russian strength
at the seat OF war at 10000 officers and
men, OH Feb. /.
II would seem from these estimates,
that Russia is hardly prepared yet for
decisive battles on land. Russia Is
thought to have a million soldiers TO
spare for the eastern war; II she can
only find transportation for them, and
maintain them In the field, And It Is
certain that an immense force will be
needed to protect the railroads. hold
the forts, and meet the enemy at
whatever points viii be selected for at
tack.
The japanese are said to have 100000
troops available now, with the posi-.
bllty of armlng four million men,
should the emergency require. Ac-
cordng to japanese CONSUMPTION law,
all males between II and 40 years of
age are liable to duty, either in the
army or navy Conscripts are divided
among various branches OF the service,
according TO age, physical ability. or in
tsllectual capacity, Consumption lasts
IL years and four months. divided into
actual service and reserves. Service is
required for the first three years af-
ter entering the japanese army, during
which time the conscript mus, live IN
barracks, Though the period OF con-
scription Is IL years, length OF actual
service Is seldom more than three
years; though at any time during the
whole period the soldier Is liable to call
TO active duty,
And these laps are said to be perfect
fighting machines, There is not a mill
tary maneuyer known to European or
American army practice that has not
been carefully studied in Japan, All the
arms and equipment Of every sort are
modern TO degree, the army keeping
up with Improvements as soon as they
come out, and testing constantly to ac.
qulre the best arms.
It Is quite evident that Russia has a
gigantic task before her. The coming
struggle Is one between giants.

was TO join the Chemulpo or some other

There Is parallel to the operations
against Port Arthur IN the siege OF Sc
bastopol as we'll as IN the attack on
Santiago The cases OF Sebastopol and
Port Arthur are analogous In that both
harbors are situated at the extremity
OF a penlnsula--a location which ia
cilltates siege movements In both In
stances the Russian feet took refuge
within the harbor. But In the Crimean
war the Russian commander feared
lest the allied squadrons should enter
the port So he sank several warships
across the harboT's mouth. BY this ac-
ton he effectually prevented the ex-
pected cooperation between the land
and naval force OF the allies. The pur-
pose OF the Japanese commander IN at.
tempting to block the entrance 10 Port
Arthur was the reverse OF this, since
he desired TO prevent the Russian ves-
sells from menaclng the line OF communi-
cations between Japan and Korea and
TO relieve his own fleet from arduous
blockade duty.

lively little town. Last Saturday one
of the residents of that city walked
off and left his wife and children
Monday the wife started to Kinsiey
TO have him arrested for abandon
ment. When the train reached Lewis
she was standing in the coach talking
to the sheriff when her husband walked
in. She Immediately demanded that
the sheriff place her recreant spouse
under arrest. The husband declared
he was on his way to see the county
attorney TO make application for di
vorce. So they all went to see the
coupty attorney together. The wife
learned that she had no cause of ac-
tion against her husband; the hus-
band learned that he would be COM
PEELED to live six months longer in
this state before he could get stand
ing in court to apply for divorce.
They all left for home again and one
chapter in the tragedy of life is fin
ished-a tragedy in which three little
children seem most likely to be the
ones who will suffer.

rhreshing Engine Furnishes Power

Threshing Engine Furnishes Power.
The engine in the electric light
plant has been shu: down part of this
week to enable Mr.. Ketelson to make
some change which the operating of
plant has shown to be desirable, and
the motive power has been supplied
by Mr.. Beck's big traction engine.
Shutting down for this change has
given rise to some unfounded rumors
relating to the failure of the plant
which are entirely absurd. The only
trouble that has been experienced of
a serious nature occurred about three
weeks ago when some miscreant put a
lot of emery dust in the journals on
the generator. Fortunately this was
discovered before any serious dam
age had been done. Mr.. Ketelson
says he knows who the party was that
did this but he will let the matter rest
for the time being. He also says he
will in the future exclude every one
from the plant when he is not there,
as the risk of injury is too great
where people are unfamiliar with
electrical appliances. When he is at
the plant he will be pleased to ex-
plain everything to visitors, but at all
other times all visitors are to be ex-
cluded from the building.
