Foreign Minister Lamsdorff, of Russia,
Is Said To Be in JubiIant Mood
Over Prospects of Peace-czar Will
Name M. Witte as Representative.
st. Petersburg, June 13.-2:20 p. N.
An early announcement of the time
and place for the meeting of the Rus,
sian and Japanese peace plenipoten,
tiaries is expected to come from Wash
ington as result Of the exchanges
between the belligerents on that sub
ject now proceeding there through
Count Cassini and NJ Takashira with
President Roosevelt as the interme-
diary The diplomatic circles, the re,
port is current that Russia, whose
choice of the place continues to be
Paris, is ready to allow President
Roosevelt to decide that point in
which case there is reason to believe
the president may name Manchuia,
but the report cannot be confirmed.
Ambassador Rompard, who has re-
turned from Paris was closeted with
Ambassador Meyer this afternoon.
Ambassador Romaleben the German
ambassador, was also among the Amer
lean ambassadors callers.
Despite the rather pessimistical ut
terances of the foreign office the at
mosphere here is extremely optimistic
and an European ambassador who saw
Foreign Minister Lamsdorff today de.
scribes the Russian minister as being
almost in a jubilant mood.
The opinion is practically unanimous
that if Emperor Nicholas avails him
self of NJ Witte's services once, it is
decided the Japanese conditions can
not be accepted for basis for peace
negotiations, he will be able to make
the best terms for Russia.
An eminent displomat in conversa-
tion with the correspondent of the AS
sociated Press referring to the posi-
bility of RussoJapanese alliance sue
ceeding the war said he considered
that a defensive agreement is entirely
unlikely. He added:
IF Russia were still the big end of
the combination as was the case when
she objected against M. Witte's ad-
vice the alliance offered by the Mar
quis Ito, compelling the emperor of
Japan to turn to Great Britain, an Of
fensiye and defensive alliance might
be possible But considering the fact
that the British alliance has rendered
it possible for Japanese to fight Rus
sia for the establishment of her posi-
tion in the Far East, consider it out
of the question that Japan will bind
herself in such manner as might
compel her to assist Russia in the
event the Russian emperors govern
ment later concluded to make an at
tack on India. This is the more i'm
probable inaSmuch as Great Britain is
anxious not only to renew but to
strengthen her alliance with Japan"

When You Buy
Clothes, Pay Enough.

Buying suit simply because
it's low priced seldom accomplishes
what you think it does. You think
it's economy; more likely it's waste.
You say you can't afford alI-Wool
clothes; the truth is, you can't afford
anything else. Mercerized cotton
fabrics NAV look good; they may be
lowerprice; they certainly ought to be.
ButaIl-WOol means a lot of things
besides the texture of the cloth. it
means satisfaction in service; more
than that, it means the self respect
which wearing the real thing brings
Wear all=wooI, because it pays

 Par. 990. "In allowing demands of county officers whose accounts have not been rendered and ap- proved. The sheriff was constant ly allowed demands when his ac- counts for 1903 were not settled till December 1904"
 Both the clerk of the board and the ex-county treasurer testified that the accounts of the assessor were settled in December, 1904, for personal property taxes. The tax receipts had been returned to the board of supervisors instead of to the treasurer. The clerk and treasurer took them into the treas urer's office and checked them up, making the assessor between $700 and $500 behind. He went out and brought in the money. His account was then settled. Yet, your committee has examined numerous demands, allowed the sheriff by the board, while his ac- accounts as assessor were unsettled.

 COUNTY SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT
 PROBATE JUDGE-CLERK OF
 PROBATE COURT.
 The experts report objected to some slight details, failure to keep fee book, etc.

 As probate judge he stated that all the paper, vouchers for fees, etc, are kept in separate envelopes in each case, and all fees can be easily checked

 COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT OF HEALTH.
