GENERAL DISSATISFACTION.

Toxic, Sept. (delayed) Under a
vigorous defense by the conservative
journals, supportin gthe government
and fuller and better apprec' alton Of
the situation confronting the country,
the public sentiment Is showing some
evidence OF reaction Argument that
ii is impossible for Japan to continue
the bloody war merely for the pur-
pose Of securing indemnity is proving
effective in allaying the dissatisfac-
tiop. II Is believed that when the gov
ernment is free to explain fully the
conditions of the settlement and logic
appertainlng to them. reaction of senti-
ment will large increase.
The entire nation IL keenly disap-
pointed at the outcome. No where
throughout the empire has there been
a step taken toward the celebration OF
the conclusion Of peace. Radicals con
tinue their campaign against the gov,
crnment, demanding punishment Of
those responsible for the compromise
The forthcoming diet is certain to be
turbulent and 1t Is predicted that the
Katsura government will be forced

the storm came. Some one had per
suaded him that paper roofing was

in, soaking everything from garret to

owner, walking around the building
with tears in his eyes anguishing to find
the man who endorsed paper roofing.

Mr.. Jack Rogers returned last night
from trip to Eastern Oregon, and
tells an interesting story Of his visit. In
company with Judge Cannon, Of this
city, he went to Condor for the purpose
of examining into the legality Of the
proceedings authorizing the issuing of
$50. 900 worth of city water bonds. They
drove over from Arlington in top bug
gy, and got caught in the ragged edge
Of the hail storm that swept over Con.
don, near olex, % miles north. The
storm was remarkably severe, though
nothing like the showing it made at
Condor. When the storm broke they
turned the buggy around back to it,,
and were kept busy keeping the horses
quiet, as the hail peppered them mer-
cilessly.
They arrived in Condor n few hours
after the storm had been there, and
found everywhere evidences Of, its ter
rife force. Windows were broken out,
signs battered, roofs gone and the vio-
lence Of the icy bombardment may be
Judged from the fact that the larger
hailstones measured as much as 6h
inches in circumference, and these were
driven by a fierce wind. There were
many corrugated iron roofs in the

they would have made good gravel

Salem comes to the front in some new
line every day, and the most recent oc'
casion is as a bond buyer. The city Of
Condor, in Gillian county, offered $780,
900 worth Of water bonds for sale, and
Mrs. Jack Rogers, of this city, put in
bid that captured the whole wad. An
other feature Of the trade was that the
day Salem man got the bonds, Con-
don got the water.
