1t soon became evident, however. that
the king and his ministers did not see
the matter In that light. They were
disposed to believe that the American
commissioners had not yielded enough.
1t was not until Aug. OF the follow

up his mind to ratify the treaty. A

ON Jan. 4, 1884, 1t was confirmed by

When Japan Whipped China.

One of the most important peace
treaties negotiated In modern times
was that of Simonoseki, between China
and Japan. 1t Is especially noteworthy
because 1t was the first peace treaty
between oriental nations conducted
after the Caucasian fashion. 1t Is in
teresting to Americans because John
w. Foster, once the head of the Ameri-
can department of state, was one OF
the representatives of China. BY its
terms Japan received an indemnity of
$2OO,OOO,OOO and acquired the rich is
land of Formosa.
The Spanish American war treaty,
signed and ratified in 1899, was the
latest addition to the collection of such
documents on file in the library of the
state department On July 26, 1898,
Spain made Overtures for peace
through the French ambassador at
Washington. When the proceedings
opened 1t was evident that the Spanish
commissioners had come to Paris de
termined to obtain whatever adyan-
tage the dilatory tactics of peninsular
diplomacy could bring about. 1t was
also patent to the American members
of the commission that the other side
had no intention Of adherlng to the
terms of the protocol If by any means
they could be avoided. The firm stand
assumed by the Americans at the out
set and maintained throughout the dis
cussions gave the dons little opportu-
nifty TO exercise their peculiar type of
diplomacy.

The LAST CROP BULLETIN
TWO WEEKS MORE WILL PUT
CORN OUT OF DANGER.
WILL BE A VERY HEAVY CROP


Effects OF a Killing Frost and There
is Every Prospect for an Excellent
Crop All over the State.
Lincoln, Nob., Sept. I2.-Thc last
crop bulletin of the season to be tx.
sued by the Nebraska district of the
weather bureau came today. The
bulletin follows;
The past week was cool with maxi
mum temperatures quite generally be
low so degrees most of the week. The
minimum temperatures, however, were
not low for the season, and the daily
mean temperature averaged . degrees
below normal In eastern counties and
| degree above in western.
The rainfall of the past week was
above the normal in most parts of
the state. II exceeded 2 inches In
most of the southern counties and In
some places exceeded 3 inches. In
northern counties the rainfall was gen
orally less than | inch and in some
places lass than one-half inch.
The heavy rains and cloudy, moist
weather the first part Of the week de
layed haying and thrashing. Some
hay was damaged and in few places
grain in stack was injured by rain.
Haying is nearly finished, with an oX-
cellent crop secured. The soil Is in
excellent condition for seeding and n
little wheat has been sown. Corn has
advanced nicely toward maturity but
not as rapidly as during the preceding
week. Considerable corn Is now be.

PAIR OF RUNAWAYS.
One Wagon is Demolished But Nobody
Was Hurt.

A pair of runaways near the Creigh.
ton depot shortly after noon today de-
molished one buggy and created con
siderable excitement. The team which
started things came from near Pase-
walks park. They ran into the wagon
of a horse hitched near the depot.
This horse then started out on a dash
and the wagon came apart, No one
was in either vehicle and nobody was
hurt.

AN/ battles he captured the
w worlds Imagination, but
when he said Let there be
peace" he captured its heart. Men love
the peacemaker. War may fire their
blood, but the ending of strife appeals
to their better natures. So the poets
and prophets have dreamed of n war
less age, and so the Great Teacher has
been called the Prince of Peace.
With the ending of the war In the far
east Is the better day of perpetual
peace about to dawn? Who can tellT
Many have given voice to such hope.
But other fond hearts have cherished
that faith when the world was younger.
Whatever the future may hold In
store, we at least can be glad in the
ending Of strife now. Russia and ia
pan have struck hands, and the sword
is in its sheath. That they met to re-
new their friendship on American soil
is one more mark set in the book of
good deeds to the credit of the great
republic.
Peace! May 1t last long! Under 1t
may the world go forward to renewed
triumphs Of progress, enlightenment
and brotherhood. A new era has open
ed in the orient. May the rising sun of
Nippon be prophetic, the veritable sym
bQl of sunrise over all the far east
Nor should Russia be forgotten. A
step toward constitutional government
has been taken in the land of the czar.
NJ. Witte halls it as the greatest event
In
long vision Perhaps he is right.
The actual signing of the treaty of
PortsmOuth-fOr so ii will be known
recalls other like happy events in other
days. The fact that the ending of
bloodshed has always been hailed with
acclaim shows that the worlds heart
is right Perhaps some day its head
may be as right as Its heart.
Peace treaties Of the present age are
an outgrowth of the amenities of mod
ern warfare. In the ancient days the
negotiation Of treaty was stand
and deliver" affair. Take, for example,
the one made by Julius Caesar at the
close of his eight years campaign in
Gaul, as told by himself in his famous
commentaries" He admits frankly
that he took everything that was NOV
able and carried it into Italy, leaving
peace behind him, but little else.
Treaty of Westphalia.
One of the most important of Old
time peace treaties was that of West
phalia, concluded Oct "a, 1913 1t
ended the Thirty Years war, in which
Gustavus Adolphus fought so valiant
ly. This long and bloody conflict had
its beginning in religious controver-
sy. The Protestants had begun to as
sert themselves and had seized church
lands and converted them to their own
purposes. Ferdinand of Austria was
faithful son of the church and also
a shrewd political schemer. He coax
ed Spain to become his partner in n
campaign to subjugate the small Ger.
man states and restore the old religion
The trouble spread like a confagration
and all Europe was soon involved in It,
Finally the emperor was beaten at his
own game and was driven to sign the

Deep in the heart OF each man and
woman Hes some unfultilled ambition
toward which his efforts tend as a
goal With Myra Darling 1t was 9
gold watch.
Her days were passed behind q
counter where a variety of neckwear
was displayed, The remuneration was
small and served only to provide her
with a ''home" and the simplest Of
gowns. The watch for which her soul
hungered might have been the moon
or the Roes egg. But more trying
than the privations she endured was
the cheapness, the narrowness OF her
life. so different from the gentle sur.
roundings Of her girlhood.
It was her birthday. her eighteenth
year. and Sundays dry free from the
aisle walkers espionage. a happy COM
bination which Myra enjoyed to the
full. A long afternoon In the crisp,
cool air Of the park was a happy cii-
max.
1t was turning dusk as she left the,
park. The city lamps already shone in
a long line down the avenue. On the
side streets the shadows fell black
and ugly, causing a few buildings to.
stand out In bold relief. Suddenly al
flash from passing automobile struck
a small, round object that glittered
near the curbing. Myra bent over toI
pick it up. Had some beneficent fairy
godmother thrown the gift at her feet?
lt was watch. and on her birthday!
She seized it rapturously and, looking
neither to the. right nor left, fed up
the steps OF her boarding house; never
pausing until she stood In the hall room
she called her home. She lighted the
gas and drew down the shade. then
breathlessly examined her new found
treasure. The small hunting case was

Myra abruptly closed the case. But
she could not shut out the face from
her mental vision.
She passed her evening rocking slow
ly in her chair, with magazine be-
tween her fingers, the gentle ticking Of
the watch counting the passing hours.
That night she dreamed not of the
watch. but of life which the watch
typiied, and through the dream stalked
man whose face was the face in the
watch.
She awoke little after 9 TO reyel
In the delight Of knowing the exact
hour and turning luxuriously over for
another fifteen minutes.
All day she thought about her won
derfuI acquisition and smiled happily
to herself. The other girls noticed it
and twitted her in their good natured
IL rather coarse way. Myra laughed,
but guarded her secret and hurried
home to pass another evening Of de-
lightful possession. Three days passed,
and, though the watch itself was
never failing source Of delight, as the
actual realization Of her dreams 1t was
the picture that Tept into her heart.
She told her secrets to those honest
eyes and called him dear friend" He
seemed somehow to understand her
every whim.
"The whole world could trust you,
and-rd trust you absolutely" she told
him one night very softly. "The other
girl trusts you too? The other grill

Then suddenly, without any warning,
Myra awoke to the truth. The watch,
the picture, were not hersl She had no
right to keep them. She turned to the
window and looked drearily out over
the roofs Of houses.
