WHY JAPAN FIGHTS ON.

Apparently Jaoan desires to hear the
count of the referee and the last tap of
the gong before negotiating that armi-
stice which is now a subject of extreme
solicitude on the part of Russia. 1t Is
evident the Japs consider possession as
counting for nine points in diplomacy
just as it does in law, therefore they
prefer to have the Island Of Sakha len
securely in hand before the peace mill
begins grinding at Portsmouth, N. H,
besides there is prestige to be gained In
the dickering by an ~cupan of undis-
puted Russian territory.
In the forecasts made of the peace
terms the is and of Sakhalien has figured
IL one of the items of indemnity to be
given by the Russians. Originally the
southern portion of the Island was occu-
pied by the japanese, and it was nom
inally a part of the Mikado's empire I'M
TIL about forty years ago when japan
rellnquished sovereignty in exchange for
a similar recession by Russia OF tit e to
the northernmost Kooriii islands. wnlch
form a chain from Kamchatka south
ward to Yezo.
When these exchanges were made real
estate in norther regions had not ex-
perienced a boom. Alaska was then ie-
garded az an example of deficient sa-
gacity on the part of Uncle Sam. But
in recent years the American investment
in the frozen North has proved a bo-
nanza, and there are hints that Sakha-
lien is a land of rich treasure. Russian
newspapers are limiting that it Is worth
ten billion dollars. a figure which would
loom large in the indemnity bill. but II
the island is taken by force of arms by
the Japanese prior to the settlement OF
peace terms the Car may be unable to
offer it as an asset. The Mikado's re-
luctance to stop fighting just at present
is easily exp aimed by the invasion Of
sakhalien-he prefers to make sure OF
a portion Of that indemnity which IL
coming to him.
In the meantime Uncle Sam. through
President Roosevelt, has informed Japan
that she must not be unreasonable in
her demands from Russia. lust now

ed is not known. President Roosevelt
is not given to talking through his hat
and 1t might be wei for Japan to care

AN ENJOYABLE DRAMA
Local Talent Gives Fine Production
of "a Texas Steer"

The young people who take part in
amateur theatricals in Dallas added
a fresh triumph to their already long
list in the production of Hoyt's famous
comedy ga Texas Steer" at the Wood
men Hall, Wednesday evening. A
more enjoyable play has never been
seen in Dallas, and compliments for
the young people taking part were
heard on every hand yesterday. The
audience tested the capacity of the
new hall, every seat being occupied.
The total receipts Of the evening have
not been announced, but it is believed
that fully 400 people were present.
The play was handsomely staged,
every care being taken as to correct
ness of detail. The costumes worn by
the players were appropriate, and the
make-ups were uniformly clever. The
comedy moved with a snap and vim
seldom witnessed in an amateur pro-
duction, and there were no tedious
waits between acts to try the patience
of the audience.
Those taking part in the play were
Judge J. E. Sibley, F, H. Muscott,
A. n. Holman, Bert Teats, Ralph Hill.
DR.. H. L. Toney, George Morton, Fred
West, Walter Critchlow, Louie Mus
cott Chet @. Coad, Henry Williams,
Lester Butler, Mrs. Fred West, Miss
Viola Martin, Miss frankie Hayter
and Miss Maude Robertson.
Time and space forbid comment
upon the work of each individual
player, but it can be truthfully said
that a more clever lot of young people
were never gathered together on a
Dallas stage. Each entered thor
oughly into the spirit of his part, aud
the audience enjoyed every minute of
the performance. II you didn't see
"A Texas Steer" you missed half
your life.
The scenery, stage settings and
lighting effects in the new hall are
strictly modern in every respect ana
added greatly to the smoOthness of |
he production. The ventilation is
good, and the acoustic properties Of the
big building could not be more nearly

CHANGE IS POSTPONED

The change in the time-card Of the
Dallas-Portland passenger train, an
nounced to take effect last Monday,
has been indefinitely postponed. The
officials in Portland had authorized
the change, when orders were re-
ceived from superior officers at head
quarters to await further instruction
before making any alteration in the
existing schedule. The reason for
this hold-up is not known, but
it is believed that the company
is awaiting the completion Of the st
Joe cutoff before making any def
mite announcement as to the future
operation of trains on the YamhilI
division. The patrons of the road in
this city are making no strenuous
complaint, but it is earnestly hoped
that the late evening service inaugu-
rated during the Lewis and Clark Fair
season will be changed soon, and that
the night train will be put back on the
old schedule before the winter season
begins.

HELD ON GRAVE CHARGE
DaIIas=BueII rIaiI Carrier Awaits Ac-
tion cf December Circuit Court.

F. W. G. Muller, mail carrier on
the Dallas-Buell mail route, was
arrested last Wednesday on a charge
of having committed rape upon the
person of his 15-year-old daughter.
The complaint was sworn to by
Muller's son, a young man aged 20
years. The accused man was taken
before Justice William Ridgeway, at
Buell. for a preliminary hearing, and
was bound over to the Circuit Court
10 the sum Of $1,000. The bond was
promptly furnished, and the prisoner
was released from custody.
On Saturday, Muller was arrested a
second time, the complaint being
issued at the request of his son, who
alleges that Muller threatened to kill
him Muller was again taken before
Justice Ridgeway, who placed him
under a $4,000 bond to keep the peace
Being unable to procure bondsmen
for this larger amount, the prisoner
was brought to Dallas by Sheriff Ford
and placed in the county Jail.
Early in the present week, Muller,
through his attorneys, James Nc
Cain and G. o. Holman, sought
release from custody through the
means of a writ of habeas corpus.
The writ was argued before Judge
Coad yesterday and, was sustained
by that officer The charge of threat
ening to kill was dismissed, but the
first charge still stands against the
prisoner. Muller is still in Jail, his
bondsmen having surrendered him to
the authorities. At the hearing before
Judge Coad yesterday afternoon,
Judge J, Z. Sibley appeared for the
state at the request of District Attor-
.ney J. H. McNary.
