For the Romanoffs they have overrun half Asia, with the spirit of enterprise and endurance of which the ordinary stolid Russian is incapable. First of all, these Cossacks are horsemen- Every capi- tai in Europe has at some time seen quartered there the Slav Cavalry, whose feats of horsemanship have given them the title of the cowboys of Europe.
 Unlike the rest of the Russian popu- lation. which serves its allotted time in the army and returns to ordinary life, the Cossacks live and die Russian soldiers. They are regarded as mili- tary division of the population, and begin their military training in boy hood. As infant Yenetians are taught to swim, so the youthful Cossack mounts rel horse while his American contemporary is still on a hobby horse. At 1T compulsory service in the Sta nitsa begins. and at 20 comes field ser vice, which lasts for five years.
 The CossacSs are divided into il corps, or voiskos, and each corps equips it's own men. receiving special grants fro mthe crown in return. Indeed, the Cossack sotnias, or regiments.

 Having their own uniform of dark green, still carrying the famous lance so long their deadliest weapon, the Cossacks are a sort of imperial guard. worshiping their Czar, finding in his favor the opportunity to enjoy the life they love and in return serving him gallantly and loyalty. It was Cossack Cavalry that penetrated the Caucasus and overran Asia until the great roof of the world" alone interposed between India and Russoian Asia. Cossack Cavalry also carried the realm of the Czar to the Pacific Coast.-New York Tribune.

THE CHINESE IN soUrH AFRICA

THE CHINESE IN SOUTH AFRICA.
 Things don't always work as they are expected to. For instance, some of the voting on Tuesday. Also for instance the employment of 15,000 Chinese in
 South Africa. The presence of the
 Chinese has. 1t appears, led to the em-
 ployment of an increased number of white men in the mines, contrary to the expectation of some of the white workers It was supposed especially in England--that the Chinese would displace the whites, but the more Chi
 nese there are the greater the number of whites needed to boss them and per- form duties for which they are not suited. About 1,5OO more whites now get work in the mines by reason of the presence of the coolies. By the end of December some 50,0o0 Chinese will have arrived, a fleet of steamers being en- gagged exclusively in their transporta- tion. An engineer expresses the opin- ion that 125,ooo are needed in the Transvaal. Rhodesia is also moving to get coolies for it's mines, the develop ment of it's industries being delayed by want of labor. Many of the Kaf1rs were enriched by the high wages re- ceived during the Bosr War and will not now work. With the money got from the whites the Kaffirs buy sev- eral wives apiece, after which they spend the rest of their days in luxuri- .ous idleness. Others are employed in new occupations, such as railroad mak-

 The arhsrican packed meats that cokae to France, writes Consul J. C.. Covert from Lyon, have almost made revolution in the dietary habits of the French people. Within the memory of many now living the working people of France could enjoy meat but two or three times year, and then only on some great occasion, such as a wedding or important anniversary. At present it may be said that there is hardly a man in the country who cannot have a piece of meat once or twice a day, and this amelioration of the condition of the people is very largely due to the packed, dried and salted meats from the United States"

 From the returns compiled by Lloyd's Register of Shipping, it appears that, excluding warships there were 393 ves- sels of 1,O46,3OS tons gross under con- struction in the United Kingdom at the close of the quarter ended September 80, 1904. The tonnage under construc- ton is now about 53,O00 tons more than 1t was at the end of June, 1904. Com pared, however, with the total reached in September, 1901, which is the high est on record, the present figures show a reduction of S67,OOO tons, or 20 per cent. Of the vessels under construction s01. or 746,179 tons, are under the su- pervision of the surveyors of Lloyd's Register with a view to classification by this society. In addition, 5S vessels, of 13s,9S6 tons, are building abroad, with a view to classification. The total building at the present time under the supervision of Lloyds Register is thus s54 vessels, of 9O1,145 tons.

Special to Times Republican,.
Maquoketa, Nov. 15.--One OF the best
evangelistlc meetings ever held In TINS
place is now In progress, and promises
to be one Of the most sweeping re-
vivais we have ever had. One week
ago the Rev. G. l.. Barker OF New
Jersey came by invitation CT the pastor
and official board to conduct a series OF
evangelistic meetings. Mr.. Barker Is
a born evangelist, having had years OF
experience in the work both as an ev-
angelist as we'll as Y. M. c. a. work.
err He is plain. forceful and practical,
and breaches plain gospel.
Sunday was one Of the best days that
this church has over had. In the
morning Mr.. Barker preached to q con-
Eregation that filled the church TO the
doors. In the afternoon he addressed
Il large audience of men on Sowing
and Reuping." 1t was one of the
cleanest talks to men ever delivered
here. In the evening long before the
hour Of service every available spot IN
the large audience room was filed to
the doors when he preached n strong
evangelistic sermon which moved the
vast audience. Between forty and fifty
were converted Sunday and the work
has cnly just begun. The singing is
under the leadership Of the Rev. ID. G..
Perry, who has large chorus choir.
TIL, whole t0wn seems to feel the
influence CT the meetings. They will
continue two weeks more.

Bayard, Nov. 15.-Last Sunday night
Thompson's chophouse was burglarized
by some one who gained entrance by
window.
The thieves secured valuable
watch and about $50 for their trouble.
The matter was kept a profound secret
until bloodhounds COULD be secured and
put on the trail of the robbers.
G.. w. Hoffmire of Knoxville. Iowa,
was sent for and he arrived at o'clock
this morning with his celebrated
bloodhounds. After a brief rest the
dogs were put to work and in less than
fifteen minutes had landed their quarry
who proved to be young lad about
sixteen years of age who upon being
promised that he would not be prose-
cuted returned the property to it's
owner.
There has been number of petty
thievings In this vicinity recently, and
it is hoped that this will prove n
wholesome example TO others who have
been suspected and doubtless who are
guilty.
Last evening about 8 o'clock the fire
alarm called our citizens to blaze In
the warehouse located in the rear OF
w. II. Strauzr's hardware store. One
of Mr.. Strauzrs clerks Gus Mays, went
to the building to draw some gasoline
and 1t being quite dark he struck n
match to see II he had the measure
full, with the usual result. After a.
bout thirty minutes hard work the fire
WIS controlled with very light damage
to property. A fifty gallon tank full
of gasoline was in the thickest of the
fire, but fortunately 1t did not explode,
otherwise we would have had big
confagration to chronicle, as the burn
ed building stood in the very heart of
the business portion of the little city.
