CITIZENS MEETING.
The Matter of Protecting the City from
Damage by High Water Considered.

A meeting of the citizens of this
place was called yesterday morning at
the Odd Fellows hall for the purpose
of discussing the matter Of protection
from high water, a subject that has at
tracted a good deal Of attention since
the damage that occurred last spring
at the Miller ranch. The meeting was
we'll attended considering that it had
been hurriedly arranged for. There
We're about sixty present and the meet =
ing was called to order by Justice Mel
son. Charles Wooif was elected chair
man and c. A. Stewart. secretary.
A resolution of some length was
drawn up and passed and a committee
of citizens was appointed to act with
the council in presenting it to the board
Of supervisors, the governor and the
representatives Of the two railroads
who are also concerned in the protec-
ton of the town since their property
would be the first to be damaged in
case of greater inroads on the part OF
the river at the point where the damage
occurred in the spring.
The committee appointed. including
the members of the city council. is as
follows: Frank Fogel. NJ. f. Curry. J.

taking into consideration the fact that
there is this year one less class in the
school than there has been heretofore.
The eighth grade, formerly a part of
the sub normal, and a class that US
ually numbered from fifteen to twenty
has been placed in the training school
and does not number as attendance at
the Normal proper. Hence the Normal
attendance is diminished just that
amount. There are still a number of
students who have arranged to attend
but who for one reason and another
have not arrived here and it will prob
ably be several days before all are in

History records two ancient ma
tons as going to war over dispute
of well bucket. 1t seems that the
Russian ] apanese war had its origin
over a dispute quite as trivial-that
of a pipestem. After the war
with China in 1894 Japan assumed
practical control Of the political poll
cy of Korea. Reforms were in
augurated and enforced to the dis
taste and active opposition of the
Korean people. The Koreans
smoked pipes with stems three feet
long, a process which necessitated a
sitting posture. This posture en-
genders and encourages laziness.
Now, Japan has arisen from barbar
ism to high state of civilization
and power through the activity of
the Individual love and exer-
else of work. The japanese officials
foresaw that the Korean would
never accomplish anything while
sitting down, and as they all smoked
and would smoke, it was necessary
that they should smoke and work.
To secure such result it was order
ed that the length of the pipestem
should be shortened SO that man
could hold his pipe BY the stem be-
tween his teeth. The Koreans re-
volted at this order and appealed to
Russia to assume control of the poll
tics of the country. This incident
Of shortening the pipestem brought
on war of tremendous proportions.
