TAKAHIRA RlDICULES
FEARS OF A REVOLT
REPORT THAT REBELLION IN
JAPAN THREATENS
Rumor Is That the Garrison at Kobe,
Consisting of 100000 Men, Has
Risen-Minister Declares Affair Is
Nothing but Drunken Disturbance
Nv Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Nov. ia dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington, D. c.,
says: Japan is now threatened by
revolt, according to a report current in
Washington last night. Minister Taxa
hira regards the report as ridiculous.
but in other circles there is a dispo-
sition to credit it.
The report stated that the garrison
at Kobe had revolted. The number
given was 100000. The Japanese lega
tion asserts, however. that there is no
garrison at Kobe. At Osaka. which is
only a few miles away, however, there
is stationed the fourth division, con-
sisting of 10000 men, and seventeen
miles distant from Kobe is the tenth
division, also of 10000 men.
Since the conclusion of the treaty of
Portsmouth some of the troops in Man
churia have been returned to Japan
and perhaps may have been brought to
the vicinity of Kobe. But they are not
in any such numbers as stated in the
report
Minister Takahira said last night
that if any trouble at all had occurred
it must have been caused by the
drunkenness of few holders who had
raised q disturbance. He did not be-
lieve there had been anything serious.
He has received absolutely no advices
whatever on the subject.
Nevertheless 1t is known that among
the military, especially the troops
which were in Manchuria, that there is
a great deal of criticism of the action
of the government in granting such
enient terms of peace to the Russian
government. Several generals eSpec-
tally criticised the treaty, lending the
support of their voices and position to
one Kono, who was the leader of the
unorganized mobs which made numer-
Gus demonstrations in Toxic and other
cities Immediately after the signing of
the treaty of peace.

PRIZES FOR PUZZLE SOLVERS.
A Great Scheme Whereby Every
Correct Answer viii Win
a Reward,

The greatest prize scheme for
puzzle solvers ever offered by q
newspaper is that inaugurated re-
Gently by the Sunday North Amer
ican, of Philadelphia. For a long
time that paper has been present
ing each week puzzle for young
folks, and has been offering long
list of prizes. But the answers
grew to be so numerous that many
boys and girls were, of necessity,
disappointed. 1t was not possible
to make a list of prizes to keep up
with the increase of correct an
swers.
Something new had to be invent
ed.
Now, did you ever hear of a Puz-
zle Contest in which nobody Is dis
appointed!
Then it must be Polly Evans new
Weekly Puzzle Contest, for hers is
the only one anywhere in which
nobody is disappointed.
Think of it-nobody disappoint-
ed
If you answer puzzle Incorrect
ly, you do not look for any reward,
of course; but if you answer it cor
rectly, it is but natural that you
should expect to be rewarded, and
that you should feel disappointed
If you find you are not rewarded.
That is what Polly Evans always
thought, and she spent many an
hour trying to devise some plan of
prize-giving that would mean no
disappointed boys and girls.
At last a few weeks ago
an idea occurred to her. The North
American approved of it at once,
and the result is that since April
l5--the day the plan was first an
nounced there have been no dis
appointed children in Polly Evans
Puzzle Contest.

MARRIED IN ILLINOIS.
Miss Jennie, Daughter OF MIR. and Mrs. S,
J. Comerer, Weds Clarence Ankney.

The Daily Star says that joy
full wedding party gathered on
Wednesday night, April 26th, at
the home of Mrs. 9. O. Slpes, two
miles south of Dixon, Illinois. 1t
was the occasion of the wedding
OF her sister. Miss jennie Conner
er, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Samuel j. Comerer formerly of
the Cove, to Mr.. Clarence Ank-
ney. Although 1t was almost en-
tirely a family affair, yet forty
persons were present. Prompt
ly at SIS o'clock the wedding
party came from up stairs. FIRST
the minister who performed the
ceremony, DR.. S. S. Cryor, then
the attendants, Frank Sprouland
Nettie Ankney, Harry Ankney
and Hazel Burket and the bride
and groom. In the silence that
followed the prayer were heard
the words of the covenant that
IONS in sacred wedlock and the
clear responses of the contract
ing parties. Then followed con
gratulatlonS that were hearty and
sincere. A sumptuous repast
was served, after which followed
a delightfully."- social time. AS
everyone knew everyone else
present there was an absence of
stiffness that sometimes marks
such occasions. Suddenly a
storm of rice encompassed the
bride and groom, mingled with
peals-not of thunder-but of
laughter. 1t would be vain to
describe what followed except to
say that everyone seemed happy.
A joke was played on the serenad-
ers who are usually in evidence
on such occasions. They asked
to see the bride and groom, but
in their place one of the brides
maids and her attendant gfooms-
man showed themselves and the
crowd was just as content as if 1t
had been the real bridal pair.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ankey left the
next day for their new home in
Aurora, ILL.,, where the best wish
es of all their friends follow them.
