E'LSEWFERE in this issue will be found a notice from our
IL county sheriff calling the attention of gun packers, to the fact
that they are violating the law and If apprehended, no matter
who he individual, his guilt will convict him and he will come IN
for the prescribed punishment in full. The Fuller incident thathas
attracted SO much attention is the result of a gross violation of
the law in question, and according to Mr.. Fuler's own statement
his gun was used during an aberrated state of the mind, which
cert 1inly is corrobotory evidence that whisky, an uncontrol-
able temper and a gun are incompatible with good society. Ii
there are auy whose interests and responsibility entitle them to
carry concealed weapons, let them apply to our county commits
sioners, who are conservative, accommodating gentlemen. This
procedure will far better subserve the demands of law and society,
for we have long since ceased to be a part or parcel of the wild
and woody west

LAST Saturday the Japanese and Russians met in the Korean
straits, at a point that had been chosen by Togo for the occasion,
and the greatest naval battle since Trafalgar was fought TO an
issue that spelled irretrevable disaster for the Russian bear. If

overwhelming odds, that nation is Japan, who is now i'll a posi-
ton to make any reasonable demand for a large indemnity i'll addi-

FASHIONS IN TowELINo.
Blue and White the Most Popular
Color for Kitchen Fur
nishings.

II seems incredible that there should
be fashions in dish toweling. But
there are. The man behind the linen
counter declares he has no sale at all
for red-barred dish toweling, where
as he cannot get enough Of the blue
barred linen to supply the demand
The reason is SIMPLE. Ask any pa
per-hanger or decorator what color
the overwhelming majority choose for
their kitchens
Blue and white" will be the
prompt answer, certified by his half
a dozen blue samples to one of any
other color.
Why? Well, that is not so clear,
unless it is that blue and white is a
clean, cool combination. and that you
can get blue enamel ware. blue china,
and all other accessories to match.
At all events, blue and white being
the popular color for kitchen fur
nishings the dish towels must match.
and hence the fact that red-barred
toweling is a drug on the market

SCHEME THAT WAS SPOILED

with a Disastrous
finish.

II was thoughtful OF PerkinsOn to
have a life-size portrait OF his Aunt
I Jane when she wrote, announcing her
intention Of paying them a visit. Aunt
! Jane, Mrs. Perkinson'g fathers sister,
was aged and wealthy and otherwise
entitled to delicate attention, relates
the Chicago Daily News.
II was pastel portrait, well execut-
ed and handsomely framsd. Mrs. Per-
kinson burst nto rapturous praises
when 1t came .zSme

didn't you have glass put on itY"
The man wanted me to-" answered
Perkinson, but somebody has told
me that pastels are better unglazed. as

ing from artistic motives, bade him
leave out the glass. It looks better this
way don't you think it does, nowT'
Why yes, suppose so" said Mrs.
Perkinson, doubtfully. But isn't it
likely to get soiled?"
"Oh. there's nothing to soil It." re-
piled Perkinson. 1T may get mellowed
with time, however, and take on that
soft, warm tone that's so becoming in
such works Of art"
Very well, dear You're an author
ity on such matters, " said Mrs. Perkin-
son. Where shall we hang it?"
"A great deal depends upon the hang
ing Of a picture" declared Perkinson.
I'm order to get the best effects one must
carefully study the advantages Of loca-

kinson, after thoughtful survey OF the
walls.

After many admiring looks at it in it's
new position they left as Lena entered
to dust the parlor.
A few minutes later Lena sought Mrs.
Perkinson with alarm in her face and a
particolored dust cloth clutched In her
right hand.
"Oh. Mrs. Perhinson, the new picterl"
she exclaimed.

Hearing her utter a Shrek of dismay,
Perkinson quickly followed her thither,
nerving himself for the worst.
1t was an appalling sight that met
their eyes. All that was left of the
pastel portrait OF Aunt Jane was few
smudgy concentric circles showing
where had passed dust cloth welded
by vigorous but indiscriminating arm.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, maam.' explained

RUSSIANS BELIEVE ENGAGEMENT
WILL TAKE PLACE IN THE
STRAITS OF FoRMoSA.
VLkDiVOSTOK FLEET MAY EMERGE
JAPANESE CANNOT SPARE YES
SELLS TO GUARD THE MAN
CHURiAN SEAPORT.

st. Petersburg, April 12.-Whether
Vice Admiral Rojestvensl1y's battle
ship division passed through the
straits of Sunda or the straits OF
Malacca it is practically certain now
that he is moving to effect a juncture
with the division which passed Singa-
pore April s. 1t is possible that this
may not take place until the two diyi-
sions reach Cape Padaran, on the east
coast of Cochin-China.
The dispatches from Singapore
naming the ships which passed there
Saturday are erroneous in several par
ttcuars, notably in the case of the
Fuerst Bismarck, rechristened The
Don, which is still at Libau.
According to the admiralty's infor-
nation the Japanese have had an OBJ
servation squadron in the waters OF
Labuan, British Borneo, where they
took the same advantage of British
neutrality as Rojestvensky did OF
French neutrality at Madagascar, and
this squadron is believed to have been
summoned by Japanese scouts to re-
main in touch with the Russians until
they go north to the straits of For
mosa, where, it is believed here, a
battle will occur. Considering the
vital nature of the issue the admiralty
is inclined to think that Admiral Togo
will not dare to send ships to Vladl-
vOstok or leave vessels behind him
to cope with the Russian vessels at
that port and that the japanese coasts
and the transport fleet will practically
have to shift for themselves until the
naval battle is fought. The principal
coast cities of Japan are well pro-
tected by Notifications and the Rus
sian cruisers at Vladiyostok, not be-
ing heavily armored, could not attack
them, but havoc could be created
among the Japanese transports and
commercial ships.
So far as ascertainable Rojestven-
Sky has no intention of putting into
Saigon, the entrance to that port be-
ing narrow, but it is believed he will
remain in the open sea.

URGENT MEASURES TAKEN.
Government Determined to Suppress
Disorders at Madrid.

Paris, April 12.-DiSpatches received
here through official channels show
that the rioting on the Gale San Ber-
nardo at Madrid between workmen
and police was much more serious
than at first reported. Troops We're
sent to assist the police and the sol
diers fired on the mob, wounding fif-
teen men. The rioters stoned win
dows and otherwise did much dam
age. The affair grew out OF the ex-
citement among the working classes
following the loss of life due to the
collapse OF the reservoir Saturday.
The feeling has increased until the
popuace now is showing a menaC!nG
attitude against the government. The
latter has decided not to A,clare a
state OF siege, but the authorl,es have
taken urgent measures to suppress
any attempted renewal of the disor-
ders.

FAILS OF REELECTION AS d.
RECTOR OF NORTHERN Sc
CuRITlEs COMPANY.
OFFICIALS RETICENT ABOUT MATTER
DECLARE THE SUBJECT is ONE
IN WHICH THE PUBLIC is
NOT CONCERNED.

New York, April 12.--The annual
meeting of the stockholders of the
Northern Securities company in Ho-
boken elected five directors, of which
Amos T. French is a new member.
Mr.. French is a director of the Chi.
cago, Indianapolis and Louisville Rail-
way company. Robert Bacon, ID. Will
lis James, John S. Kennedy and Ed
ward T. Nichols were reelected di-
rectors. Officials who announced the
result of the election declined to say
who retired from the board of direc-
tors to give place to Mr.. French.
Although those present at the meet
ing declined to say what director of
the company retired to give place to
Mr.. French it was currently reported
in the financial district without denial
that E. II. Hartman was the director
who failed to be reelected. Vice
President and General Counsel Clough
of the company declined to give in
formation on the subject
This is a matter" said he, that
seems to me to be something that is
entirely apart from the concern OF
the public"
The Northern Securities company,
being long the subject of litigation
and not having its stocks listed on
the New York Stock Exchange, has
not published a pamphlet report CIV
ing a classified list OF it's board of
directors. At Mr.. Harriman's office
no statement on the subject was OBJ
tainable-
There was no contest over Mr..
Harriman's displacement at the meet
ing of the stockholders. The stock
held by the Hartman interests, in
cluding the $S2,00O,000 of Northern
Securities shares in the Oregon Short
Line, treasury, was not voted.

JAPANESE RElNFoRcEMENTs.
Army in the Field Will Shortly Ex.
ceed One Million Men.

Toxic, April 12.-Japan is meeting
the Russian plan of reorganization
and reinforcement of its Manchurian
armies with an extensive expedition
from its own military organization.
The details and figures are carefully
concealed of what seems to be plan
to double the present army units, but
it is reliably estimated that by au-
tumn next the total military organiza-
:ion will exceed 100000 men actually
employed in the field. The fighting
force is roughly estimated at 100000
men, with increases largely in the in
fantry and artillery, although an en-
iargement in the cavalry branch is
also contemplated.
AS a result of the manufacture at
the arsenals in Japan, together with
captures and purchases of guns, 1t Is
predicted that this year will see a
japanese artillery superior to that OF
the Russian in quality as we'll as nu-
merically and it is confidently be-
lieyed that the Russians will be in
capable of overcoming these numer-
tcal disadvantages. Wherever rail.

the Ward company teamsters should
have equal rights.

of seventeen members, to file charges
in writing with the chief OF police
