A Confidence Man,

OUI SOluO hOy ICSNiiiC pOOPiO AoSO
just had an experience with one
"Slick Slater they will meyer
forget.
A man giving his name as
J. E. Slater and claiming Rock
Rapids, Iowa, as his home,
struck here about two weeks
ago and pretended that he want
ed to buy a farm. E. B. Kellogg
of the Kellogg Financial 6
Realty Co. Of this place took
Mr.. Slater in charge and took
much pleasure in showing him
number of farms. Finally
Slater decided to buy j. A.
Stender's 160-acre tract, 2 1-2
miles northeast of town, for
$50 an acre. Slater made a
sight draft on the First National
bank at Rock Rapids through
the Farmers bank of Charlton
county as first payment on the
farm or forfeit money on the con-
tract. This draft was made
Wednesday afternoon of last
week and Friday afternoon the
Farmers bank received word
from the First National bank
that Slater was not know in
Rock Rapids, hence the $500
draft was worthless, and the
sale of the Slender farm was
declared off,
The Farmers bank, after
Slater made the draft for $500
Wednesday afternoon, cashed a
$40 sight draft for him, and that
has gone where the woodbine
twineth.
Slater left here Thursday
morning in company with
Liveryman T. j. shaughnessy
for Mendon, he having vol
UNFAIRLY offered to loan Mr..
Shaughnessy some money to
buy B. C. Smutz' livery business
at Mendon. On reaching Men
don they proposed to buy out
Mr.. Smutz and told him if he
would not sell they would put in
another livery stable at Mendon.
A trade was agreed upon and
Slater made sight draft, pay.
able to T. J. Shaughnessy, on the
First National bank at Rock
Rapids. He stated, however, at
the time he did not have that
amount on deposit in open &C.
count, but that he would get
home in time to protect the draft
with some demand certificates.
AS the train was then about
due from Mendon to Kansas City
over the Santa Fe railway Slater
name a rush, accompanied by
Mr.. Shaughnessy and Mr.. .Smutz,
for the depot, and there borrow
ed $40 from Shaughnessy, and
noticing that Shaughnessy had
about $40 more Slater suggested
that he give that to Smutz to
bind the livery deal, and have
a contract drawn up. Slater
then boarded the train for
Kansas City, he having first
purchased a ticket from Mendon
to that place.
After Slater left, Shaughnessy
and Smutz went back up town
and had contract drawn up fol
the sale of Smutz' livery stable
to Shaughnessy, and Shaughn
essy paid Smutz the $40 as
forfeit in case he (Shaughnessy)
did not make good his part o.
the contract.
The sight draft for the $1,000
on the First National bank a
Rock Rapids was turned down
and it looked like Mr.. Shaughn'
essy would mourn Slater's &C
quaintance to the tune of $50
but he saved all but the $40 b.

Fire.

The residence property of Mrs.
E. J. Mackay, occupied by DR..
B. Hughes, and which was
one of the most desirable resi-
dences in Keytesville. was totally
destroyed by fire between and
g o'clock Wednesday evening,
having caught from the explo-
sion of q coal oil stove in ore of
the up stairs rooms.
The alarm was given in time
for neighbors and friends to
save all the contents of the
lower rooms, but nothing scarcely
was removed from the up stairs,
in one room of which Mrs. Mackay
had her household goods stored.
The house was insured for
ST, 200 and was built at a cost of
about S2,250 some years ago,
but could not be replaced now
for less than $4,000 or 50, 700.
Mrs. Mackay had 5000 and DR..
B. Hughes $500 on the house,
hold goods. The 500 will fully
cover the loss of DR.. Hughes,
but we are not advised of the
value Mrs. Mackay placed
on her personal effects that were
destroyed.
We sympathize with all parties
to the misfort une.

Heavy Rains in Kansas.

Kansas City.-Soaking rains have
fallen in western Missouri and Kan
sas. The food coming on top of al
most continuous heavy rains during
the past ten days, all streams are up
and more or less damage has been
done. Low lying portions of Argen-
tine and Armourdale districts of Kan
sas City, Kan, occupied principally by
packing houses and railway employees
have been flooded. This has been caus-
ed principally by backwater from de
fective sewers, and no serious dam
age is likely to follow. Although the
Kaw river at this point has risen rap
idly and continues to come up, it mus
rise 10 feet yet before it becomes
really threatening. The Chicago, Rocl
Island & Pacific pile bridge across
the Kaw river near Kansas avenue. il
Armourdale, was carried out and thu
Kansas City Southern pile bridge wal
threatened.

PEACE CONFERENCE
RUSSIAN EMPEROR WANTS ALL
NATIONS AT THE HAGUE.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 10. - Emperor
Nicholas has again appeared before
the world as a promoter of universal
peace. No sooner is the Russo-J apan-
ese war over and even before the peace
treaty is ratified. than his majesty is
sued invitati )ns to second peace con-
ference at The Hague.
That the emperor has done so was
learned today from a source which
leaves no shadow of doubt as to its
authenticity. 1t is announced that il
is the purpose of the Russian emperor
to address the foreign powers with a
view to the holding of second peace
conference at The Hague, but it is
known that negotiations preceding this
announcement that the government
purposed to address the powers were
entered into especially with the United
States, and were conducted with the
greatest secrecy. there being not the
slightest inkling that Russia contem-
plated anything of the kind.
The news created the greatest sur
prise here, and that Russia should plan
a second conference, despite the step
already taken by President Roosevelt,
was also heard with Armament. 1t is
clear that the step could not be taken
by Russian without first reaching a
complete understanding with President
Roosevelt The fact that the president
is reported as being entirely in sympa-
thy with the proposal and that he is
said to believe that to the initiator of
the first Hague conference should be-
long the honor of convoking the second,
and readily and gladly acceded to the
Russian proposition, is clear proof that
the conference has been called and that
President Roosevelt relinquished mis-
part in it TO Emperor Nicholas.
In this connection an interesting
question arises as to how the invitation
was communicated TO Japan, in view
OF the lack of diplomatic relations, bu
the invitation may be delayed until sucl
relations have been resumed or it ma.
have been forwarded through the Uni
ted States. 1t is impossible TO learn tn
proposed date of the second conference
or to gain even an approximate idea re
garding it. but it will probably not b.
greatly delayed.
Russia, as the power convoking tn
conference, will probably submit al
official program, the other powers sub
hitting suggestions.

AFTER FISHING TUGS
CANADIAN BOAT SENDS A FEW
SHOTS AFTER YANKEES.
The Fourth Incident Of Poaching on
Lake Erie During the Past Week
American Boat Was About Miles
over the Line When Canadian Boat
Appeared, but Made Its Escape.

Erie. Pa, Sept 1S.-The fourth of
the fish tug incidents of the past week
took place in the middle of Lake Erie
Sunday, when the Canadian cruiser
Vigilant riddled the big steamer tug
Harry G. Barnhurst with small shot
from the rifle on the patrol boat. Cap
tain Nick Easel of the tug admitted,
after he escaped, that the Vigilant
could have sent her to the bottom il
Captain Dunno had so desired. They
ran more than eight miles under full
head of steam before they crossed the
boundary line and escaped from the
Canadians.
More than 80 shots struck the YES
sci and of these Is of the small shells
landed with telling effect on the upper
parts; the boat careened to one side
with the mass of wreckage when she
came into port. Having been used
formerly for a pleasure steamer, the
Barnhurst is of large size and well
fitted with steam equipment. The fire
man, Magnus Johnson, tainted in the
hold from overexertion in keeping the
steam going ahead He was reported
killed, but survived after reaching
shore. Two of the fishermen were cut
in the face by splinters shot away by
the bullets.
The Barnhurst, according 10 Captain
Easel, was about five miles over the
line, drawing nets, when the Vigilance
appeared. The other Lake Erie tugs
the Alma, Valiant and the Boyd, were
closer to the line and ran away when
the chase started. Captain Dunno or
dered the Barnhurst to stop. but in
stead of doing so, Captain Easel put
on full steam and started for the line
He took a southwesterly direction and
could not be headed by the Vigilant.
After the first two rounds from the
Vigilant the Americans say they heard
shouts of Kill them" sink the Yam
KEGS" coming from the Canadian
cruiser. Captain Easel says he wal
aware he was close to the line, bu
claims he could not have been more
than four or five miles in Canadian wa
ters when the cruiser Vigilant sudden
ly appeared.
This makes the fourth American
vessel fired upon within week by tn
Vigilant.
All the vessels had been poaching
according to the claims of the Cana
dams, and had been caught hauling
in fish.

JAPAN EXPLAINS RIOTS.

received by the japanese legation at
Washington. d. c. Mr.. Hiogi. charge
d 'affaires. says.
The japanese do not attempt to
minimize the importance Of affairs as
they existed.
The immediate provocation of the
riotous outbreak was the action of the
police. who sought to prevent a polit-
ical mass meeting, and not the slight
est feeling of hostility against for
eigners in general, and Americans in
particular, entered into the spirit Of
the mob. OF course. there are many
Japanese who are disappointed at the
terms of the peace treaty, and it is
natural that they should express their
disappointment, but the majority OF
the thinking classes of my country
deprecate the riotous action and re.
greet the injurious impression created
by these disturbances, which appar-
emily led some people to regard them
as an indication of a feeling of hos
tility on the part of the Japanese to
ward the United States. l am author
lied to say that Notwithstanding what
differences of opinion may exist in
Japan over the terms of peace. there
is strong. united and friendly feel
ing toward the Unlled States. anC

GREEN CORN DANCE OVER.
Indians Wind Up Festivities in okla
homa.

Indians Wind Up Festivities in okla
homa.
Lawton. Okla, Sept. 1S.-At sunrise
Sunday the Apache Indians closed
their green corn dance" at Hyles
Hole, nine miles north Of Lawton, on
the Sill reservation. The dance proper,
with old Geronimo leading, closed at 2
o'clock, when all visiting white people,
who numbered nearly 1000, were told
that the dance was over and departed.
After this came the lovers dance. In
this only the young squaws and bucks
took part, the squaws being allowed to
choose their partners for the dance.
During this dance is the only time that
the young buck is allowed to spoon
with his sweetheart. All other times
he must content himself by talking to
her father.
Early in the evening they held a
healing dance, in which an old squaw
was almost instantly cured of some at
Fiction that she had. These dances
were engaged in by $50 Indians.
