The Farber Forum bravely and
strongly puts it in these words:
The Forum is opposed to a saloon
at Farher for many reasons. If it
is such a good thing as its advo-
Gates claim, Vaudalia would want
one, Bowling Green would want
one, Laddonia would want one.
There is not a saloon between
Mexico and Louisiana. Why one
at FarberY Our homes are hap
pier without it, and that should
be reason enough.

HARPER DOOMED.
Operation on Noted Educator Reveals
Cancer Which Cannot Be
Removed.

Chicago, Feb. 23.-Death has set its
seal upon President Harper. When the
head of the University of Chicago was
operated on at the Presbyterian hospital
Wednesday the surgeons discovered that
he was suffering from malignant can
Ger, which is fast eating away his life.
The disease had spread SO far that no at
tempt was made to remove the cancerous
growth. The wound was closed and dur
ing the remainder Of the great teachers
life the X-ray treatment will be used to
stay the ravages of the disease. At the
utmost DR.. Harper's life cannot span
more than year, and one of the operat-
ing surgeons declared that six months is
the more likely period of his existence.
Wednesday night DR.. Harper suffered
great pain, though he slept at times. The
surgeons who attended him did not be-
lieve it best to impart to the patient the
sentence of death they had read at the
operation. DIR. Charles McBurney, the
famous New York surgeon, who oper-
ated on President Mckinley when he
was shot at Buffalo, welded the knife
at the operation. He was aided by Drs.
Frank Billings, Nicholas Sem. and A. D.
Bevans, the Chicago physicians and sur
geons who have had the case in hand
since shortly after DR.. Harper's late op-
Grafton for appendicitis.

MRS. CHADWICK DEFIANT.
Refuses to Answer Questions in Bank
ruptcy Proceedings at
Cleveland.

Cleveland, O., Feb. 25.-Smiling and
thoroughly self-possessed throughout
the proceedings, Mrs. Cassie L. Chad
wick on Friday defied the authority of
the United States as vested in Referee
Remington in the bankruptcy courts.
J. P. Dawley, her attorney, at first
stubbornly refused to allow Mrs. Chad
wick to be sworn, though the court
peremptorily ordered her to rise and
take the oath. 1t was only after q
conference that she finally took the
witness stand. Even then she prac-
tically refused to answer all questions,
the only statement of consequence OBJ
tanned from her being one that she had
no personal property in New York.
Finally the court and counsel on all
sides agreed to postponement of the
examination to March 13, with the I'm
Outstanding that Mrs. Chadwick would
testify freely on that date if the GRIM
inal cases against her had been dis
posed of by that time.

Two Boring Parties Finally Pierce the
q Alps in Tunnel Twelve =
Miles Long.

Condo, Switzerland, Feb. 25.-Pierc-
ing of the Simplon tunnel through the
Alps was completed at 1920 O'Clock
Friday morning. The work was COM
menced in 1898. The mae ing Of the
two boring parties (Swiss and Italian)
was signaled throughout Switzerland
by ringing of church bells and salutas
by cannon. The work of preparing the
tunnel for a permanent way will be
pushed as rapidly as possible, and it
is hoped to inaugurate the tunnel
about March 20. The length of the
tunnel from Briga in Switzerland, to
Iselle, on the Italian side of the noun
TAIN is about IL miles. Work was be-
gun over seven years ago, and accord
ing to contract the tunnel must be

Blame IS placed
ON THE RUSSIANS
BOARD OF INQUIRY MAKES ITS
REPORT ON THE NORTH
SEA AFFAIR,
Declares Rojestvensky Was Not Justi-
fed in Firing on Fishing Boats,
But Finds Estimating Circum-
Standardization a Compromise.

London, Feb. PA decision in the
controversy between Great Britain and
Russia arising from the firing on the
Gamecock fishing fleet the night of Oc-
tober 21-22, by the Russian second Pa
citic squadron commanded by Vice Adj
miral Rojestvensky was officially an
nounced Saturday by the international
commission of inquiry which sat at Paris
to investigate the affair. The commits
sioners as whole found that the fishing
fleet made no hostile demonstration and
q majority of them that there were no
torpedo boats among the fishermen or
in the vicinity, and that the opening of
fire by Rojestvensky was not justified
The commissioners were unanimously
of the opinion that Rojestvensky did all
he could personally to prevent the
trawlers being fired on, and on the ques-
ton Of his proceeding without giving
assistance to the damaged trawlers it
was agreed that there was such uncer-
tainty concerning danger to the Rus
sian squadron as to warrant Rojestven-
sky continuing his route.
Rear Admiral Charles H. Davis. the
American representative on the commits
sion, is of the opinion that the general
results of the findings are favorable to
Great Britain, as they sustain the state
ments of fact as presented by that coun-
try. He thinks the decision will have
a salutary effect in the interest of the
general principles Of arbitration. The
general impression among those who
heard Admiral Fourier, the president
of the commission, read the decision was
that it was a compromise, Great Brit
aims contention that there were no tor
pedo boats in the vicinity and that Ro-
jestvensky was not justified in firing
having been approved, and that of Rus
STA that Rojestvensky acted according
to his belief, even though mistaken, and
that his action did not reflect upon his
military valor or sentiments of human
ity likewise having been agreed to.

the failure was due to the fact that
little effort was made to initiate
