All witnesses look alike to Uncle

different from those Of others. His
private car will bring him to Cleveland
on or about March 6. The length Of
hi:- stay will depend on the rapidity

The Cost Of War.

The report of the Russian losses as
shown in the official returns covering
the first year of the wa are striking
commentary upon the wicke1neSs an.
wastefulnc.:S of International strife,
About fifty thousand Russians nave
iecn killed in battle. while the sick ana
wounded have already totaleG more
than $50. 200. The loss of the Japanese
in killed must have been nearly as
great, although their losses from sick
ness have been SO small as To be
matter OF worldwide comment. THIS
has been due in part To the sobricty
and simple habits of the troops, and in
part. TO the rigid enforcement of al
most perfect modern sanitary rules
and regulations. AS the war advances
il becomes more and more evident that
Russi, will be called upon To make the
greater sacrifices.
She is conducting hostilities thou
sand miles from her base of supplies
which are forced to be transported
over Il one track railroad. The guard
ing of this line of road in itself calls
for the employment of Il large military
force.
Again she is far behind Japan i'm her
arrangements for maintaining sanitary
conditions in camp, and in her
facilities for taking care of the sick
and wounded. All this will go far 10
offset any disparity between the two
powers in the matter of numerical
strength.
Already there are indications that
Russir would be glad to make peace
if she could see her way clear to do so
without too large a sacrifice Of pride
at home and too great a loss of prestige
abroad.

A Texas Mans Extraordinary Enter
prise Not Appreciated.

Washington. Feb. 11.-Representa-
tive Lowering of Massachusetts is join
ing hands With his brother lawgivers
of the South TO prevent the transporta-
ton OF boil weevils in bushel lots.
Some Texas citizens, bent on the al
mighty dollar. mailed 10 q firm of Wall
street brokers not long ago Il COM
munication. i'll which he promised to
send the cotton market booming if the
brokers would make it worth his while.
He outlined his plan, which was to
gather up enormous quantities of the
boil weevils and take the same into
cotton growing states not yet infected
and" wrote this enterprising citizen
Of Texas. Il assure you 1 can go out
and get boil weevils by the bushel"
The patriotic cotton brokers turned
the letter over to the Agricultural De-
partment, where Il detective was put
on the Texas citizens trail. 1t was
ascertaned that he is man of some
financial responsibility. and actually
might attempt to put his plan into eX-
ecution. The result has been a SIAM
pede of Southern congressman to enact
a law forbidding the transportation of
gypsy moths, boil weevis. plum
curculio. hop plant lice and like pests
from state to state. and Furnishing
those who transgress by $4,000 fine
and five years imprisonment. Mi.
Lowering introduced the bill. which has
now been favOrably reported to the
House. IT is proposed to fix the Texan
and all of like mind who come after
him.
