tween the Gear of Russia and the
Emperor of Japan, despite diplo-
matte denials. These facts con-
cerning the treaty, the way by
which it was reached and it's pur.
poses can be stated on the highest
authority:
The Kaiser advised the Car to
make a secret treaty when they
met on the yacht in the Baltic sea.
The Intermediates in the negotia-
tions were the japanese Minister
at London and the German EN-
bassador at st. Petersburg. King
Edward helped in the making of
the treaty.
1t provides that the Gear of Rus
sia-the Gar, not the empire
shall pay $50O,OOO,OOO indemnity
to japan in five years, less the
amount which Russia will pay
Japan for the care and mainten-
ance of Russian prisoners of war,
$100,0O0,000 as provided in the
treaty of Portsmouth.
1t is reported also that Russia
agrees in the treaty to give Japan
a free hand in China, though this
point is not so certain as the other.
The compact was made without
the knowledge of Komura and
Witte.
Cable dispatches state that when
De Martens took the steamer from
New York yesterday he admitted
the secret treaty is in existence.
De Martens never would have
dared to make the acknowledge
ment without his sovereign's per-
mission. 1t is more than likely
that De Martens was ordered to
drop hint about the treaty and
thus, as we'll be seen, relieve the
Emperor of japan from a most
embarrassing position at home.

IAN ACT OF GOD.

Judge J. c. Pollock of the Unit

down a decision last week covering
goods lost in the Kaw flood al
Kansas Cityin 1908. Judge Pol
lock holds that the. flood was an
act ofGod which the railway com
pany could neither foresee nor pre-
vent, hence the loss, if any, fell on
the owner of the goods in transit
in accordance with the terms of
the bill of lading, which except the
carrier from liability under such
circumstances.
This decision will bring hun.
dreds of suits to a speedy close.

MATRIMONIAL.
ROTH REEVES.


Geo. NJ Roth and Miss Flossie NJ.
Reeves of Eagle township were
united in marriage by Rev. G. L,
Swan of this city at his residence
last Wednesday, Jan. IS, 1905.
Mr.. Roth is one of the industri-
Gus and well-to-do young farm
ers in Eagle township and the bride
is the charming daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Asa Reeves. If the peo-
pie in their neighborhood didn't
do the proper thing in the way OF
lndulglng IN merry ssc,sde on
the couples arrival home they
missed a golden opportunity
that's all.
The Index wishes Mr.. and Mrs.
Roth success and prosperity in
proper proportion to their merit
which is in itself the richest COM
pllment any one could pay them.

TOURISTS PESTS IN ROME.

Fleece the Foreigners.


Fleece the Foreigners.
One hears great deal about the
Association to Facilitate the Move.
ment of Foreigners in Italy, but of
the good accomplished by these well.
meaning persons, say the London Pail
Mall Gazette, one hears much less.
There is no doubt that there is
crying evil in the peninsula, which to
some people overbalances her un-
doubted attractions-that of the con.
tirfual necessity to pay out money in
small sums If you wish any peace.
Take. for instance, the trip from
Naples to Sorrento and Capri. When
you return you are shorn Of perhaps 3
lire, not more, but the giving Of that
lire has sbeen such a WEAKNESS to
the flesh that you feel that you have
given thousands. First you fall into
the hands of the boatman to go on
board; getting down to Capri there
are fresh payments and on visiting
the grotto there are further disburse-
ments, with innumerable tips to odd
people and beggars, while illustrated
post cards and coral venders make
life burden. And this is only one
example of what the press aptly calls
the hunt of the foreigners" 1t is
argued that this would be avoided if
the tourist paid something moro for
his round ticket and had not to dis
burse these small sums.
The Swiss and Germans are no less
anxious to make money out of travel
ers. but SO marvellous Is their organi-
zation that the victim is to some ex-
tent unaware Of the fact and payg
cheerfully whatever is aked. This
being so. it is proposed to invite the
aforementioned society to move In
the subject and see IL they cannot jus.
tify their existence.
Statistics show that tho number of
beggars along the beaten track of
travellers has very much decreased and
that those who do exist are much less
importunate and although the So
ciety for Foreigners" claims credit, il
is more due to the Association
Against Begging" and still more to the
chiefs of police.

Extravasant Displays Of Jewels Made

The desire for jewels and the ex

exercises over women in this luxuri
Gus age.

One single necklet of pearls-only a
string that closely clasps the throat
has been known to cost 100000; a
tiara swallows up any sum up to
t25,OOo, and even more when it con-
tains practically priceless stones;
one brooch may easily represent G500.
while a stomacher can scarcely cost
less Hence, to be bedizened In gems
that represent 100000 is not a diff
ficult task for the woman who likes
a barbaric display and can afford to
indulge her whim.
The extravaganza this craving fol
gems leads to is excused by some peo.
pie on the score that precious stones
are sound investment, while the
dealers in imitation gems truthfully
aver that it fosters their trade.

County Attorney Griffin has

brought without his knowledge or
authority and that neither the com

requested him to proceed in any

toned in the various petitions.
Mr. NIcCague, the local attorney
for the prosecution, admits this to
