First ascertain clearly whether 1t

Having made sure the introduction

fallibly this rule a. to its form: Always
present the man to the woman, the
younger to the elder, the inferior to the
superior. II you wish to make Miss
Biowser and Mr.. Skeesicks acquainted,
bring up your man to Miss Blowser
and say:
Miss Blowser, let me introduce Mr..
Skeesicks."
Introducing q man to mother and
daughter, present him to the mother
first, then to the daughter. This Is a
point Of respect and courtesy. If you
have corralled any great parsonage like
a literary lion or congressman. you
can say:
Mr.. Congressman, this is my friend
and neighbor. Mrs. Squizky," If you
know the great parsonage well, or you
may say simply, Mr.. Congressman.

FULLER PAID TOO MUCH
Rock Island Agent Loses S64.8O by q
Mistake.

Captain Andy" Fuller, passenger
agent of the Rock Island, lost S64.60 last
night at o'clock as the result of
clever trick worked by two railroad
men.
Two section. men, Frank Goebel and
William Hodson, who work under Fore
man Pat Clohessey at Alma, came into
the Rock Island depot at last evening
and submitted their time checks. Cap
tain Fuller's day clerk was just leaving
the office, but waited long enough to
cash one of the checks, the one pre-
scented by Hodson, for SS0.25 Hodson
got his money and backed away from
the window, just as Goebel handed in
his pay slip for s1565. The clerk laid
it on the table with the other and went
out, and Goebel called again for his
money. Captain Fuller picked up the
two checks and asked: Which of these
is yours?'
THE one for $685. answered Goebel,
and the money was at once paid to him.
Captain Fuller discovered the ruse
few minutes later, but both men had
disappeared. He went to Alma last
night to hunt for them, and will return
this evening He has not reported, and
it is not known whether GOebel has
been captured or is still at large Both
men have families living in Alma.

TRIED TO WRECK TRAIN
Another Attempt This Time on Santa
Fe Cut on.

Train wreckers made another attempt
to demolish a Santa Fe train Wednesday
afternoon about o'clock on the Emporia
cutoff. The plug, which runs between
Kansas City and Emporia, struck pile
of ties placed on the track near Zarah,
a small station just outside of Kansas
City Owing to the small number of ties
IN the pile, the engine tossed them from
the track and no damage resulted. The
train was stopped, however, and an in
yestigation made.
1t is supposed that the miscreants who
placed the ties on the track were inter-
rupted in their work and that they did not
know the plug train was coming along.
The trainmen think that they were pre-
pairing to wreck the Santa Fe's fast CAL
ifornia train. No. 10. which was running
behind time and would have reached the
place about 1870 in the evening.

story and the news spread rapidly among
the trainmen at EmpOria and other points
along the line Sheriff Hinshaw of Lyon
county was one of the passengers on the
train. It happens that Mr.. HinshaW IS
one of the men who is working hard to
get some clue to the perpetrators of the
recent wreck of No. II near EmDoria.
In conversation with a friend Mr.. Hin
shaw said: I'VE have secured no evidence
whatever concerning the EmpOria wreck.

tween the Japanese and Russian
fleets as follows:
At dawn on aSturday our SQUAD
ron left It's rendezvous and advanced
through the Tsushima channel. At
2:0S in the afternoon we sighted the
Russian fleet, gradually closing in We
found the Kniaz Souvaroff leading
the line with the BOrodino, the Alex
ander III, the Orel, the Oslabya and
the Navaria following in the order
named. Nicolai brought up the rear.
Parallel to this line we observed five
cruisers. After them came the special
service ships and torpedo boat de-
stroyers. We counted thirty-two Rus
sian ships in all.
our fleet, with the battleship Mi
kasa leading, proceeded toward the
Russians in vertical line formation
The SOuvarOf opened fire first and
then suddenly turned, reversing her
course. Almost simultaneously the
MiSasa opened fire with her big guns
and thus the curtain rose on the great
sea battle. The hostile fleets gradually
closed in toward each other, exchang-
ing vigorous fire. The armored
cruiser Asama approached within
three thousand metres of the Russian
feet and carefully observed its action
after a short but fierce fight the
Admiral Oushakoff's deck was oh

the line. BY 4:30 in the afternoon the

fire slackened. The Borodino and

soon sank. The Borodino continued to
fire bravely until the ship was sub
merged.

The Japanese Victory Results in
Orders for Railway Equipment

Cleveland, June 1.-The Iron Trade
Review this week says: War has been
uppermost in the minds of men this
week and whether honoring the mem
DRY of the heroes of the Civil war or
eagerly reading the accounts of one
of the greatest naval battles of the
worlds history, conditions have not
been favorable for calm consideration
of the markets. but there is much rea-
son Tor hoping that peace will soon be
declared in the far east and that as
the smoke of battle disappears an
era of progress and prosperity will
be inaugurated. The benefits of such
q change cannot fail to be felt in the
United States, for, unless all indica-
tions are misleading, the demand for
materials not merely for battIesbips
and guns but also for countless imple-
ments of peace viii be very great. A
cablegram from the japanese war de-
partment at Toxic orders the delivery
by an eastern Pennsylvania company
of 1000 trucks and other railroad
supplies to be shipped to Port Arthur
for use by Oyama's army in equipping
the Manchurian railway. The order
was placed tentatively months ago, it's
contamination depending on the re-
suit of TogO's meeting with Rojest-
vensky.
The rail tonnage for this year now
amounts to about 100000, and in
spite of recent newspaper announce
ments, the SIS price on standard sec

License Man Turns Over s1,O14.

r F. Clough, license collector for
the city. has turned in to the city
treasurer since May / $1.014 in
licenses. The amount of licenses vary
from month to month, some of the
licenses being collected upon quar-
terly basis and others semi-ann ua1ly,
and still others monthly. Clough is
thinking of recommending to the
council the passage of two additional
ordinances, one providing for the tax
ing Of oil companies operating IN the
CITY and the other dealers Of milk
who purchase their supply of milk
from dairies As it is now the only
milk dealers paying a license are those
who own cows. This does not catch
some of the largest dealers IN the
civ
