The MatIn Of Paris Suggests Glft Of
$6oO, 0oo, 600 to Russia.

Paris.-Owing to the reports from
Portsmouth indicating that the ques-
ton of peace between Russia and ia
pan hinges solely on Russia paying
an indemnity to Japan, the Matin ca
bled a remarkable appeal to John D..
Rockefeller at Cleveland. The appeal,
in part, follows:
"The question of money threatens
to unloosen afresh and with redoubled
violence the scourge of war. Presi-
dent Roosevelt is making noble and
heroic efforts to end struggle be-
tween two nations whose peoples
amount to one seventh of the popula-
ton of the globe. His initiative hon
ors America in the opinion of the
civilized nations.
THE question arises as to whether
another American would not share the
glory of Mr.. Roosevelt and complete
his work by overcoming the sole OBJ
stacle now hindering peace. He
would thus demonstrate the might of
money in powerful and generous
hands.
''The Matin, constituting itself
spokesman for this sentiment, ad-
dresses the richest citizen in the
world"
The appeal concludes with lengthy
arguments showing the immense ben
efts such an act would confer upon
civilization.
Mr.. Rockefeller Is Silent.
Cleveland, Ohio.-Mr. Rockefeller
declined to make any statement con-
corning the cablegram from the Paris
Matin, which was received early in
the evening at Forest Hill, his sum
mer residence.

MONTHLY STOCK FAIR
WELL ATTENDED TODAY

More than six hundred farmers from
the territory surrounding Grand
Rapids were in the city today Tues
day. to attend the monthly stock
fair. This was quite showing in
view of the cold weather, and speaks
we'll for the spirit with which the
farmers are taking advantage of the
opportunities offered by the stock fairs.
During the forenoon there were
more sellers than buyers, but this
condition was being improved toward
noon and at the time of going to press
a very successful fair seemed assured.
Among the various animals offered for
sale, one in particular, a poland
china hog weighing seven hundred
pounds attracted considerable atten-
tion as a sort Of monstrosity. The
hog was raised by D. G. Daynard, of
Bancroft.

-"Ole Olson" the quaint and
natural comedy drama in which the
Swedish comedian type of character
was first made use of for stage
purposes will be played here at the
grand opera house Friday evening.
The Swedish dialect comedy has
taken it's place as fun maker by the
side of the German, Irish and YiddiSh
dialect plays and ''Ole Olson" is
easily the most interesting and
pleasing of this style of dramatic
work. The character is presented
with natural dignity and a full
appreciation of comedy effects. The
play Of course centers around ''Ole"
and his cool and unruffied schemes of
the villain never fails to get rounds of
applause. The company that will
present the comedy here is an
excellent one in every respect and is
under the direction of Ben Hendricks,
who plays "Ole." Many new and
catchy specialties are introduced.

DAILY Drug Company and f. L. Steib
s. COmpany

The recent editorial attack on
Senator 81. G. Wipperman of this
city, made by the Milwaukee Free
Press was uncalled for ana wholly out
Of place. The Senator's position has
been we'll known and fully understood
by his constituents We believe there
was a motive back of this article
prompted by others. The attempt
was made to injure the Senator in the
state and especially in his district.
1t failed in its desired effect aud the
Senator is stronger with his home
people than ever. We have been
familiar with his position all along
and at no time was there any danger
of his going back upon the great
reforms promised by the Republican
party to the people. Senator Wiper
man is man of the people, fair to
all interests, and partial to none.
When the time comes for him to vote
on the Railroad Commission bill, we
believe he will make clear his attitude
on this measure.
