Clark Republic Courier: S.J.Conklln
and w. w. Hall have dissolved partner.
ship in the management OF Hotel Conk
lin, Mr.. hall stepping out Monday.
The change was made owing to some
differences coming up that could not
be settled to the satisfaction of both
and the course taken was no doubt the
better for both concerned. Mr.. Hall
has had business management OF the
house since coming here and gave salts
faction to the public, both travelling and
local, and proved himself good hotel
man. Many regret that the change had
to be made. However, Mr.. Conklin is
an old hotel man and will now conduct
the place under his own management,
assisted by Harry Boocock, of Faulkton,
and Mrs. Conklin. The patrons OF this
well known place will fare well. Mr.
Conklin has made many Improvements
on the property since his return from
Pierre. He is now having fine row
of cement walk put in by Grimshaw &
LaCraft which will add much to the
attractiveness of that splendid corner

ON 4 STILL HUNT
Railroad Engineers Are Said to
be Quietly Working

They Have Been Discovered
on the Bottoms Above

From evidence at hand it develop
that the Northwestern is making ~ still

some four mi es, laying lines lack to
the bluffs and taxing elev tions across
the river. II ey were operating at
place on the river front whele the farm
of Judge j. X. ireeden lies and from
there continued the survey into and up
the valley down which what is known
as Indian creek makes its way. This
valley heads up II the divide north OF
Willow creek, from whence it would be
clear sailing all the way through stan
ley county along the divide between
Cheyenne and BAD rivers, a distance OF
over a hundred miles until the Chey-
euue river east Of the Hills is reached.
The SURVEYORS are now said to he run

any ostentation, and with All effort TO

The past month or two all engineer

Vincent, who is we'll known in Pierre,
has been putting III his time making

was in the employ of the Northwestern
His work, it seems, was only prellmln-
airy to the crew of engineers that are
now following over the routes he has
selected.

effect that the railroad company ha:

Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

1t is q long time since q pair of feet as nimble as those of Pat Rooney who heads the bill of the Jacques this week has been seen on the local va riety stage. Since Mir Rooney's en- gagement here last season he has i'm proved to an extent scarcely credible and the addition Of Marion Bent to ris service serves to give the act Il re- tincment unusual in these hours of the slap stick and the rough house. Of course the sketch in which these two young people are appearing is merely vehicle for the dancing powers of each. There is little or no talking and the act is work every minute. Mir Rooney has a new song Make Yourself at lIome," which is sure to he aS popular hit as his Good Old Five Cent Trolley Ridc." One of tho best Sketlecs presented here since the season opened is that offered by MT and Mrs Howard Trucs,lalc and company. called Aunt I.ouiSa's Advicc.' Tho plot is q unique one and the dcloucmcnt is ad- miiably worked up. The playing of tine principals is at all times pleas antiy natural and is cleanly and free from horse play. Flood Broth CTS.

 Mir. Kinds was brought to Washing ton from Maine by that great master of parliamentary law. Speaker Reed, and many of the latter's fair-trigger deci- sions were snstched from Kinds mouth as the latter whispered to him the prop CT way to get out of a tangle in the rules of the house. Hehas occupied. that po- sition for ten years almost, and no new republican speaker would think of attempting to manage the house without having Hinds at his elbow. During the Swayne impeachment trial in the senate many complications arose, and a prom inent senator paid warm tribute to Asher Hinds when he said: What a pity the senate has no Asher Hinds When it gets off it's regular beaten path it is very much at sea. By the way. what would the house do if Asher Hinds should become ill or die?"

| March 3. It became demOralized flight when the Russians discovered that their egress was blocked by Japa- nese infantry and artillery from the east. The rapid approach of the Japa- nese was complete surprise to the Russians, who expected that their re- treat would be harassed only by the Japanese cavalry from the westward.
 Saturday morning one division of Japanese encountered several Russian regiments retreating along the road to Tie pass. The Japanese descended from the hills on the Russians, who attempted to break through the line After q sharp engagement, in which the Japanese guns did great execution. 4,OOO Russians surrendered, with their guns. The Japanese lost hundred men.
 According to stories told by cap- tured Russian officers and the appear ance produced by their troops, the re- treat lacks organization, every battal- Ion shifting for itself" 1 IHc IcpoIt uiit NuioJhthlh HoS ushCu to be recalled is not confirmed in any reliable quarter.
 It will be difficult to find capable successor for him. It is said now that | probably General GrOdekOff. governor of the Amur will be chosen. although in 1 casting about for another commander , in chief some military officials are turn ing to General Dragomiroff, who is | considered to be Russia's greatest ] strategist.
 General GrOdekoff is veteran of the Boxer war as well as numberless campaigns in the Caucasus. He is the particular hero of the Cossacks. whom | he has led to victory over and over | again in central Asia.

policy of publicity in the affairs of great corporations. There is strong person. al bond of sympathy between the presi- dent and MT. Garfield. on account of sim ilarity of tastes in many directions. They both served as United States civil service commissioners. and are devoted to the highest principles of civil service. They frequently discuss together the welfare of the civil service bureau and the best methods of enforcing the law
 In another way there is a similarity of taste. and that is fOndness of out door exercise and sports. During the slack season in Washington. when the president can devote few hours each day to outdoor exercise. Mir. Garfield can be found two or three times a week pitted against the chief executive in q game of tennis in the court in the rear of the white house offices. When these games first began Mir. Garfield was not very expert and the president usually had the best of 1t. One day. after having unmercifully beaten him. the president declared:
 Garfield. if you make as poor com- minssioner of corporations as you do a tennis player. I am going to put some. body else in your place.
 Since that time Mir Garfield has ini- proved, and the honors are HOW about even when they contest with the racqueis. Mir. Garfield is very useful also to the president on account of his familiarity with literature. The com missioner is an omniverous reader and devours everything in the way of new publications. He is able to advise the president as to the quality of any new work that may appear. and Mir. Roose- welt finds 1t very convenient and ad- vantageous to follow his suggestions.

tue biggest corporations in the United States, the Standard Oil company and the Beef trust ' It is probable that before long he will have added to his list the United States Steel corporation. MT. Garfield is plain, matter-of-fact gentleman, pos sessed of the valuable secret of keeping his own counsel He pursues the even tenor of his way, directing corps of inspectors in their investigation of cor porations. without paying any attention to criticism or concentration. Like the Wisconsin statesman who "seen his duty and done it," Mr. Garfield has little thought of anything but carrying out in- structions from the president and filling the requirements of the law that governs his bureau.
 MT. Garfield is the youngest son of the late President Garfield. and was mere "kid' when his father occupied the white house. He has had flattering public career for man of his age, hay ing been a successful lawyer, member of the Ohio senate, civil service commis- sioner and now commissioner of corpo- rations. a position that is hardly sec ond to that of secretary of the depart ment of commerce itself. He is such a matter-of-fact gentleman that there are few anecdotes and stories told about him. He is serious-minded, although appreciative of a.good joke, but seldom makes one himself. He was close friend of the late Senator Hanna, and the latter was very anxious that young Garfield should have placed him in nom- ination before the Ohio legislature for the senatorship, to succeed John Sher- man. The latter would have been proud of the honor. but he relinquiPhed it in favor of a close personal friend. John J. Sullivan, now United States District At torney at Cleveland.

secretary of the treasury. The last grad. uate from this institution is Hon. Rob- ert B. Armstrong, better known as Bobby" Armstrong, the young assist ant secretary of the treasury. who was brought into prominence by Secretary Shaw. MT. Armstrong has just left the government service to accept the presi- dency of the Casualty Company of Amer ica, New York insurance concern. Some five years ago Bobby" Armstrong was a hustling, bright young newspa- per man, whose work attracted the at- tention of MT. Shaw
 When Mir. Shaw became secretary of the treasury, he made young Armstrong his private secretary. and later, when a vacancy occurred in the most important assistant secretaryship of the depart- ment, he recommended the young man for appointment Mir. Armstrong was then not more than years of age. and the youngest man who ever held the of- flee. He filled the position for some two years, and has left it to accept one of higher salary by probably $10 ,000 year than he has been receiving. In this he has followed the example of Hon. Frank A. Vanderlip. who came here as private secretary to Lyman J. Gage. MT. Shaw's predecessor at the head of the treasury department Vanderlip also became an assistant secretary of the treasury, po- sition which he left to accept the vice presidency of big banking institution in New York.
 Hon. Milton E. Allies. who began pub- lie life as a coal beaver in the treas- ury department. working from that po- sition to an assistant secretaryship. has also graduated from the government financial school. and is now vice presi. dent of a big bank in Washington. James H. Eckles and Charles G. Dawes, now prominent in financial circles in Chicago, are also graduates of the treas- ury school, both having held the position of csmptr6llerNof the currency! Half a dozen other men holding influential po- sitions in the financial world began their careers in the treasury depart ment.

 of coffee, valued at sss.OOo. 900, brought into the United States. and practically all of it was used by the people of this country. The total worlds production of coffee in the year 19O3-4 was in round num- bers 2. .260. .O00.G00 pounds. or only about the double quantity that was brought into the United States during the cal- endar year 1904. In general way the United States consumes practically one- half of the coffee entering into the worlds markets.
 The latest per,od covered in reliable details giving the consumption of cof- fee in the various countries is for the calendar year 1902. These figures show for that year consumption by the United States of S52.272.o GOO: Germany. 3S0, ,sca000 pounds; France. 1ss.1so.000 pounds: Anstria-Hungary. 96.360.O00 pounds: Holland. S2.50O.OOO pounds; Bel gium. 72 .6o0.00e pounds: Sweden. g .42a.- GOO pounds: Russia. 39.600.060 pounds: Italy. 35,G40. 900 pounds. and Great Britt ain. 32. $40 GOO pounds.
 There has been steady growth in cof- fee consumption in the United States. Beginning with 1880 each decade up to 1890 shows an increase per capita as fol- lows: Ir 1S30 there were less than three pounds per capita: in 1S40. five pounds: in 1850. 5.6 pounds: in 1860. 5.s pounds: in 1870. six pounds; in Iss0. S.3 pounds: in 1890. IS pounds. and in 1903. es pounds. Since 19oO there has been an increase until last year the consump- ton was 13-54 pounds. The high est consumption per capita was in the year 1902 when it amounted to 1882 pounds for each. man. woman and child in the United States.
