them to work together without fric-
ton. Oyama knows his officers and
knows how to place them where they
can do the most effective work.
The career of Oyama has been an
active one, both in war and in politics.
His first active service in the field was
in 1868, when he Joined his cousins,
the Counts Saigo, in leading the revo~
lutionary movement which restored the
mikado to the throne of his ancestors.
He entered that war as captain and
at it's close was made major general.
When the Franco-Prussian war broke
out in 1870 he was sent by the emperor
to observe it.
Soon after his return his cousin,
Count Saigo, rebelled. But Oyama re-
! manned loyal to his emperor and COM
manded division of the army in the
long civil war which resulted in. the
death of 10000 men, including Saigo.
In 1880 he became minister of war,
and he spent the next ten years in per-
fecting his army organization. In 1890
he was a general, Count Yamagata be-
ing the only other man with that high
rank. He and Yamagata had joint COM
mand of the armies that went to NAH
churia to fight the Chinese, and when
| Yamagata was invaded home Oyama
! was left in supreme command. After
a brief but memorable campaign he
took Port Arthur. 80,
The glory of this campaign was due
to the precision of the tactics, the in
innate knowledge of the enemy's coun-
try, and the perfection of the organ
izaticn. Had not the powers steppea
in and called halt the victorious
Oyama would have swept on to Picking.
But the war was stopped and the pow
ers managed to despoil Japan of Ire
fruits of her victory.
The campaign was not lost, however,
Tor the knowledge gained in it has
proved invaluable to the generals who
have directed the war against Russia.
Besides giving them a personal knowl-
edge of the country, it proved to them
that Japanese soldiers were as good
in the field as on paper, and it also
gave them the lessons In commissariat
that can be learned only by actual ex-
perience in warfare.
Dramas reward for this compaign
was the cororet of marquis and the
baton of a field marshal. What his
next reward will be it is hard to say.
He has risen now to the very pinnacles
of military rank.

Nh. Jones Tells Of tho Way by Which He
Treated Himself Successfully
When Doctors Failed.
Sd: physicians, all Of them good, one Of
them specialist, had done their best
for Mr.. Jones at different times during
three years. and still he suffered fear
fully from the tortures of rheumatism.
The rheumatism that had been dor
mant in his system was suddenly
brought to an acute stage by exposure
while he was drawing ice in February,
1901. From that time on for q period
Of more than three years he was q con-
slant sufferer. He tried many kinds Of
treatment, but the rheumatism wouldn't
budge., When regular doctors failed,
and one remedy after another proved
useless, many said: II should think he
would give it up and save his money"
OF his condition at this time, Mr..
Jones says: my rheumatism started
in my right thigh, but in time it ap-
peared in every muscle Of my body. I
lost the use of my left arm en-
tirely and nearly lost the use Of my
right one. Ny, feet were badly affected,
especially the bottoms Of the heels.
When my right side was affected there
was swelling, but the left side didn't
swell when the disease settled there.
The internal organs didn't seem to be
involved at all. The trouble was all in
the muscles and the nerves."
Among the few who still encouraged
Mr.. Jones to think that cure might
yet be found was q friend who had rea-
son for great confidence in DR.. Will
Hams Pink Pills, and acting on her
advice he bought box Of them in Sep.
TENDER, 1904. The story Of what fol.
lowed is brief. but nothing could be
more satisfactory.
"When I was on the third box, !" says
Mr.. Jones, I" I could realize change for
the better. / felt sure then that DR..
Williams Pink Pills were the right
medicine for my case. / kept on with
them for several weeks longer and now
I am entirely well, and everybody is
asking what I took"
Mr.. William Jones lives at Oxford,
Mich. DR.. Williams Pink Pills effect
wonderful cures in rheumatism, because
they work directly on the blood which is
the seat of the disease. They are sold
by every druggist.

Colorado Canning Industry.

The shipment of solid train OF
canned peas has opened the eyes of
Colorado to another industry in which
the state can claim pre-eminence.
Starting in "A modest way the Empson
Canning Company at Longmont has
found its business reaching enormous
proportions. The big cities of the East
have taken to the Colorado sugar peas
and the demand is steadily increasing
This demand undoubtedly will result
in the establishment of many more
canneries- The vegetables, as grown
here. are firmer and more succulent

he has 10 enter into competition with
the product of the eastern states, the
present system under which the trans
portation of the country is conducted
permits the shipper TO meet this COM
petition and insures him IL share of
the big markets.
Under these conditions there is no
doubt capital will see the advantage of
erecting canneries for other fruits and
other vegetables. In no place in the
United States do the smaller fruits
and vegetables. such as peas. sugar
corn, asparagus and all the forms of
pickles. grow in greater profusion or

This great shipment of peas already
is whirlips east over the Burlington.
In itself. it will prove the greatest ad-
verlisement that Colorado could com
mand. In its journey from the Rockies
to the Atlanaic coast 1t will bring to
thousands some knowledge of Colo

REPUBLICAN OPENING
BY VICE PRESIDENT FAIRBANKS
Says Republicans viii Readjust Tariff
When Demand Exists--WilI Also
Enact Just Railroad Leg
islation

Bellefontaine, Ohio. Sept. 24.-Beau-
tiful weather and immense crowds
were features of the opening OF the
Republican state campaign here yes
terday. Republican clubs from all
parts of the state arrived early in the
day to participate in the parade which
was held during the morning.
Judge Dow was chairman OF the
meeting. Music was furnished by the
Republican Glee Club of Columbus,
and the address of Vice President
Fairbanks followed. He said:
Let well enough alone is a well
worn phrase. yet is possesses great vir-
tue. When business conditions are
unexceiled, when both labor and CAPT
tai are generally and proftably EN-
ployed, 1t is not the part of wisdom 10
revolutionize political parties.
"A Republican Congress will read
Just tariff schedules whenever such re-
adjustment is essential to preserve the
integrity of the system and to main
tain the law in wholesome operation.
Change will not be made for the mere
sake of change, or to promote free
trade, whose disastrous effects we
well understand. An adjustment of
duties will be made responsive to
sound economic demand. Whenever
such demand exists, Congress will in a
wise and patriotic way give effect to
1t. 1t will not proceed in a manner
to disturb and unsettle. but to main
tain the stability of commercial condi-
tions. The subject will be considered,
not in a narrow and technical spirit,
but in broad way. having in view the
largest common good.
THE subject of railway discrimina-
tions is of wide interest. The ques-
tion is obviously one to be dealt with
with full knowledge, and not by an ap-
peal to prejudice or by loud acclama-
tion.
1T must be settled, not ia the light
of mere personal or party politics, but
according to principles of strict JUS
tice; in the light of right as between
man and man. 1t will be settled, in
the language of your platform, so as to
promote and insure the rights of indi-
viduals. interests and localities. Legis-
lation which had been hitherto enacted
to cure the generally admitted evils
has not accomplished all that was in
tended or all that was deemed neces-
sary.
"The President has brought the mat
ter to the attention of Congress and
Congress may be relied upon to pro-
coed, in the light of past experience
and present information, to enact such
laws as will effectually remove the
evils which confessedly exist.
There must be an end of discrim-
ination.
Republican triumph in Ohio will
mean the endorsement of the admins
tration of President Roosevelt. 1t will
show that the people are satisfied not
only with the soundness of the policies
of the great Republican party, but that
they approve the able and successful
manner in which the affairs of the
nation are administered by him."

THE FARM AND RANGE
The Alfalfa Craze"

An eastern agricultural journal
speaking of the rapidly growing popu-
larity of alfalfa. which he terms the
alfalfa craze" expresses the opinion
that that useful plant. being recent
discovery" has not yet been sufficiently
and climate. to give it rank with tim
otny and clover as n profitable crop
and warns its readers against placing
implicit confidence in the statements
with 1t in places peculiarly adapted to
its propagation.
The writer of the article does not
claim to have tested alfalfa in any way
and therefore his argument in depreca-
ton of its merits is not worthy of con
sideration; but his statement that the
plant is "a recent discovery" will bear
few words of eminent. The statement
that alfalfa is comparatively a new
product and that It originated in the
West is effectually disposed of by a
bulletin issued by the Department of
Agriculture that contains an essay on
the subject, in which the history of
alfalfa is traced for more than 1000
years. 1t appears that the plant was
cultivated by the ancient Greeks and
Romans. and is still grown in the Med
iterranean region. 1t was introduced
into Spain and thence taken to Mexico
by the explorers and Adventures 4e0
years ago. and from Mexico 1t has
spread over large part of the West.
According TO the twelfth census al
falfa covered 1901, OH acres. and the
production in the United States was o.
22O,671 tens, an average of 2.5 tons per
acre. Four-fifths of the total was in
the West. the leading states being Col
orado. California, Utah. Kansas. Idaho
and Nebraska, while only small
quantity was raised in the East. But
the objects of the departmental publi-
cation and the reason for the details
given are understood when 1t is known
that the agricultural experts at Wash
ington seek TO impress upon American
farmers the worth OF alfalfa as for
age plant and Its adaptability to wide
range OF climate and varying condi-
tions of soil. Therefore 1t is highly
recommended for grazing, and as hay
is the second most valuable farm crop
raised ii. the United States. with
