A big tiger, ordinarily looked upon

like kitten with his trainer, who
tickled his nose with bit of rope

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

the Marshalltown Times Republican
says that George E. Roberts reputa-
ton in Iowa will withstand any guam
tity of Mr.. Russell.
The Boone Republican says the plan
to lengthen the terms of officeholders
to four years sis a scheme of the pol-
ticians to get little larger piece of
pie, and the people are not going to
stand for it,"
The Iowa City Republican observes
that the Webster City Freeman Tri-
bune is still bent on nominating Mr..
Larrabee for governor, but it thinks
the Freeman Tribune ought to take
Mr.. Larrabee's hint and let go. Lar
rabee has been governor and he knows
what it MEANS, says the Republican,
though In the days when he was
governor there were not many Chau-
tauquas or other means of diversion
and the salary was but $4,000, and a
moderate amount for house rent. Still
he got all the honor there was in it,
and what is the use of taking chances
on sending an honored citizen to the
rnoon?"
II the Iowa people who have been
making speciality of reciprocity have
gained anything by the Chicago con-
ference they are welcome to It," says
the Fairfield Ledger.

cago reciprocity convention was that

been 'bribed to know what they did
at the behest Of the issuing company
because of the pass given, accepted

cratic party.

CATAPRH
A UNIVERSAL DISEASE

Catarrh usually begins with cold in
the head, but does not stop there. The
mucous membranes all become infa1ned
and secrete filthy, unhealthy matter
which is absorbed by the blood and dis
tributed to all parts of the body. The
patient is then continually hawking
and splitting, the nose is stopped up,
the ears have ringing or buzzing noise,
the throat becomes sore, and as the Uni
healthy matter more thoroughly satu-
rates the blood a general feeling of des-
pondency takes possession of the system.

Lapeer, Mich. III. MATSON.
Local applications cannot cure catarrh,
because they do not reach the seat of the
trouble. They al1ay the inflammation
and temporarily relieve the disease, but
as soon as they are left off the trouble re-
turns. The only way to cure Catarrh is
to treat it through the blood. S. S. S. soon
clears the blood of all Catarrhal matter and
purges it of all irritating poisons, checks
further progress of the trouble and COM
plete1y cures the disease. S. S. S. keeps

The Russians understood that this
privilege was not limited to time or
place. Great, therefore, was the as
constituent and bitterness, when at
Matsuyama, they We're told they must
give up their swords.
This order was not communicated to
them until the day following their ar
rival, when Colonel Koono, who was in
charge of the prisoners of war there
issued it, The Russians protested shat
it was unjust; it violated a written
agreement.
There was a lively and unanimous
protest. Koono taken back. tele-
.graphed to Toxic for Instructions Fhe
answer came promptly that he was to
be guided by the tenth clause of the
Japanese official instructions concern
ing treatment of war prisoners. That
clause prescribes that officers Of any
enemy interned in the country shall be
deprived of their swords. He was fur
ther instructed to impress on the Rus
sian officers captured in Port Arthur
the necessity of submitting to treat
ment which is the same for all people
in their plight and of handing over
their swords for safe keeping until the
end of the campaign.
Acting on these instructions Colonel
Koono declared on January 10 that in
case there were any further disobe-
dience on the part of the prisoners
their swords would be taken from
them by force. A number of these
weapons happened to be lying on the
prisoners beds at the time. and Koono
noticing them ordered the officers to
take them all away.
Meanwhile two other patches OF
Russian officers arrived from Port Ar
thur, and on the same day their swords
were taken from them. Their exas-
peration was extreme Some were so
excited that they broke their sabres
Numberless complaints and five writ
ten protests signed by some hundreds
of officers were among the results OF
these frequent rows At first the
French Ambassador at Toxic sent his
CoAsul at Kobe to ascertain the facts,
and to enter protest against the con-
duct of the Japanese military authori-
ties. but as the complaints continued
the Consul turned deaf ear to them.

In 1901 the Arehduke Charles was
called to take command of the Army
of Austria, which at the Battle Of Ho-
henlinden had been defeated by the
French and Bavarians Near the scene
of action he met number of wounded
soldiers who had been abandoned on
the road by their commander for want
Of horses to draw their carriages in the
retreat.
The Archduke, who on many occas-
ions had shown his humanity, immedi
ately ordered the horses to be taken
from several pieces of cannon that
were being hauled to the rear
''The life Of one brave man is better
worth preserving than Fifty pieces OF
ordnance" he said.
The abandoned guns fell into the
hands Of the French commander, who.
when he heard of the motive that had
prompted the sacrifice. Immediately or
