DESTROYS a Tbreshing Machine.

Fort Scott, Kan, Sept. 12.-Wil1iam
Sheets, a threshing machine man who
lives up near Fulton, lost a fine thresh-
ing machine. 1t was maliciously burn
ed by unknown parties a few miles
south of the city, where he had taken
it to do some threshing. There was
no fire about the engine, and the only
rational conclusion that can be reached
is that it was burned. He was in the
city this afternoon consulting the
county attorney relative to some ar
rests.

Just think a moment: Do
you buy particular car be-
cause OF a peculiar spring ad-
Justment, a few pounds more
or less of weight, the motor. the
transmission. or the carburetc-
equipment alone, or Decaus. of
the complete coordination of
every part to every Other Fart.
and the way each part does lis
work?
When you buy an automobile
its just common business sense
to look for the car that gives
you the most for your money
the Oldsmobile. Il your car
is to be an inveStment and not
an expense, it must give YOU
satisfactory service, which
means: reasonable first cost,
low cost of maintenance, eff
cheney without complication,
hill-climbing ability, speed, and
above all, absolute ease OF con-
troll, especially in emergency
all distinctive Oldsmobile char
acteristics.
The Oldsmobile is a recog-
nized public utility-as indis-
pensable as the telephone, the
typewriter or sewing machine.

in fight waged purely for the Or aser-
walton of it's own national entity, this
hue and cry is raised about The likeii-
hood of the Asiatic millions over-run-
ming Christendom.
Such a thing is impossible The
idea that Japan expects to make a
business of war: going around with a
chip on her shoulder and taking on all
corners, is the silliest drivel. Look at
the facts in the case. During the ten
years since Russia, Germany and
France so braZenly robbed her of the
fruits of her war with China. she has
used all her strength in preparing for
the struggle which she knew she had
to make for her national existence. To
reach such high state of military per-
lection she has neglected almost every
thing else. The moment she forces
terms with Russia it will become neces-
sary for her to begin work along other
lines. The financial cost of preparing
for and conducting this war has been
enormous. About $150,0O0000 We're spent
in preparatory measures such as equip
Notifications.
COST OF WAR TO JAPAN.
Arrangements have already been
made to finance the campaign until
March, 1906, the amount necessary to
swing such stupendous operations be-
ing the gigantic sum of $3.50, 000 900.
Such expenditures are naturally a great
drain upon a people whose power of
wealth is so small as that of
the japanese. Aside from all this the
capacity of the country to produce
wealth has been greatly lessened by the
of upwards of a million
men to take part in the military opera
tons Many fields are not under cult
walton now because the owners are at
the front. Even the most casual stu
dent can readily see that with all this
obligation resting on her shoulders ia
pan will not be anxious to continue at
war day longer than she can help.
1.-THE idea that Japan, even if she
cared to, would be able to mobilize the
great population of China. is another
absurdity. The temperament of the
Chinaman is such that there is little
hope Of his ever becoming a soldier.
The provinces of China are so remote.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1905-08-06

and the interests of the people so sep
arate, that there is little hope of evel
combining them in any great move
ment. The threat to boycott American
interests has no prospect of becoming
a national Chinese issue. None of the
inhabitants of the fiowery kingdom
except those from the neighborhood OF
Canton, which furnishes nearly all OF
the emigrants to the United States
would have any interest in such a
movement. The hopelessness of the
Cantonese enlisting the sympathies of
his brother from Picking, or other
northern regions, may be better under
stood when it is stated that an inter-
prefer would be necessary if the two
should come together to talk the mat
ter over.
HAVE OTHER FISH TO FRY.
THE Japanese have no money with
which to institute commercial expioita-
ton in China. The insular problems
they will encounter in Formosa, Korea,
and whatever part of Manchuria they
may retain, will keep them busy for
years to come. On this account there
need be no apprehension about their in
terfering with the Philippines, the Ha
waiian Islands, or elsewhere. One
point which is always overlooked by the
advocates of the Yellow Peril bogy is
that Japan's national ambition can
have no hope of being realized unless
she has the friendship of two or more
of the great nations. In her present
struggle she has an alliance with Eng
land as well as the closest sympathy
of the United States. If it We're not
for this fact the European powers
would not hesitate to block her prog
ress as they have done before. From
her bitter experience of the recent past
Japan knows this better than anyone
and she may be depended upon to con-
duct herself in such manner as not to
affront the friends whose influence she
knows is vital to her very existence.
The European powers would COM
bine against Japan and crush her for
no other reason than that she stands
in the way of their lawless depreda
tions. There can be no other eXplana-
ton of their hatred for her. They re-
fer to her o"ople as a heather tribe

business or professional man,
as well as into the average
pocket-book.
For runabout service you can
find no equal to the Oldsmobile
Standard Runabout. Its single
cylinder horizontal motor gives
durability with freedom from
complication. 1t is equipped
with new side springs, which
are a revelation in spring sus-
pension. The differential brake
is superseded by rachel brake
acting on a drum attached di-
rectly to front sprocket.
Equally serviceable is the
Oldsmobile Touring Runabout.
For touring service the Odds
mobile Touring Car, is prime
favorite. In design it is dis
tinctive; in construction strong
and substantial. Its 20 h. d.
two-cylinder motor gives am
pie speed. 1t has side entrance
tonneau, fitting steering rost
and all the latest Oldsmobile
Improvements. Yoa will find it
a tremendous hill climber.
If you need a car for every
day business use, for pleasure,
for commercial service, or as
an investment, buy an Oldsmo-
bile.

Persian a Difficult Language.

OF the difficulties of the langua.e
of Persia traveller writes: The
words one uses in letter are almost
entirely different frc-n those used con-
yersationally, and those in an ordinary
prose history are again different. Then
it is almost impossible to distinguish
the lenses; and lastly the adjective
is generally indistiuguishable from the
substantive. and the link between an
adjective and the term which it quail
fies is the same as the sign OF the
possessive. For instance, the text,
This is My beloved Son. may be read
in the Persian Bible. This is the Son
of My beloved without the slightest
violence TO the grammar.

NO MORE HEADACHE
GENERAL WEAKNESS AND FEVER
DISAPPEAR TOO.
How Woman Was Freed from Troubles
That Had Made Life Wretched for
Many Years.

The immediate causes of headaches
vary, but most of them come from pool
or poisoned blood. In anenia the blood
is scanty or thin; the nerves are impcr-
fectly nourished and pain is the way in
which they express their weakness. In
colds the blood absorbs poison from the
mucous surfaces, and the poison irritates
this nerves and produces pain. In rheu-
matism, malaria aud the grip, the poison
i'll the blood produces like discomfort. In
indigestion the gases from the impure
matter kept in the system affect the
blood in the same way.
The ordinary headache-cures at best
give only TEN porary relief. They deaden
the pain but do not drive the poison out
of the blood. DIR. Williams Pink Pills
on the contrary thoroughly renew the
blood and the pain disappears perma-
nently. Women in particular have found
these pills nm unfailing relief in head
aches caused by anamia.
Miss Stella Blocker recently said: "Dr.
Williams Pink Pills did me great deal
of good. had headache nearly all the
time. After l had taken three boxes Of
these pills l becam entirely well"
How long had you suffered 2" she
was asked.
For several years. I can't tell the
exact date when my illness began for it

going down hill for many years.
"Did you have any other aihnents?"
al was very weak and sometimes had
fever. My liver and kidneys were af-
fected as well as my head"
How did you come to take the rem
edy that cured you:"
II saw i'll southern newspaper a
statement of some person who was cured
of like trouble by DR. Williams Pink
Pills. My physician hadn't done me any
good, so | bought box of these pills
After had taken one box felt SO much
better that l kept on until L became en-
tirely we'll"
Miss Blockers home is at Leander,
Louisiana. DR. Williams Pink Pills are
sold by all druggists. Besides headache
they cure neuralgia. sciatica, nervous
prostratiou, partial paralysis and rheu-
laatlsm.

For Lovers Of the Weed.

Those who are rational smokers will
never indulge on an empty stomach;
many seem able to do so with impu1i-
ty, but the practice is bad. They will
keep the pipe well cleansed and use
only a pure tobacco. Whether smok-
ing a pipe, cigar OF cigarette they
will abstain from using it to the last
extremity, because it is the accumu-
lated products of combustion which
form the injurious elements. The ra-
tional smoker will never expectorate
except on occasion when absolutely
compelled, or. if he finds himself fall
ing into this bad habit, being ration
al, he will cease to be a smoker"

SURELY A GOOD EXPLANATION
To All Who Know the Nature of That
Kind of Animal.

An Irish judge, in consideration OF
the defending counsel being English
and unable TO get any results from
his cross-eNamination of the plaintiff,
who was also of Hiberian descent, un-
dertook the examination himself. The
case was that OF an employe who had
brought an action of damages against
his employer for being kicked by one
of the animals in the stable, while
performing his duties.
You say you were very careful in
attending to this horse" said the
Judge, "and that you did not prod him
on the legs with the fork, or excite
HIN in any way; now what reason can
you give for him having kicked you?"
Because he was a mule, sir" re-
turned the witness.
