teen months ago, Truman Jones.

Within the last few days letter
written by Jones has been received by
his younger brother. 1t was mailed
at Toxic, Japan, and states that the
writer is we'll and prosperous. 1t does
not explain his disappearance and

as 1t was before. During his absence
he has become the father Of little
son. An effort is being made by Mrs.
Jones and his family to communicate
with him. !.

WHEREABOUTS OF FLEET.
Russian Admiralty Dispatches Can.

not be Relied Upon for Truth.
st. Petersburg, April 21.-The latest
word of Rojestvensky was dispatch
from the agent of the finance ministry
at Shanghai, saying that the squadron
had passed thru the straits of Formosa,
but the authority given by the agent
for this statement is considered doubt
full. The admiralty processes a good
deal of skeptieism regarding all dis
patches from the far east reporting tha
location Of the Russian vessels, point
ing out that false news is likely to be
set afloat deliberately. Officials here
neither deny nor affirm the report that
Rojestvensky is still at Kamranh Bay.
The foreign office displays no anxiety
as to the result of the protests made
by Japan over the alleged violation Of
French neutrality, expressing conf
dence that when all the facts are known
it will be found that the Russians did
not violate neutrality of France. Ser
ious complications are not anticipated.

Taft at Washington.
Washington, April 21.-The japanese
charge d'affaires here has presented
to Secretary Taft a copy of the note
presented by the Japanese minister in
Paris yesterday to the French foreign
office in relation to the observance Of
neutrality toward Rojestvensky's fleet.
Secretary Taft, after reading the
note carefully, forwarded it by mail
to Secretary Loeb. for transmission to
the president. This was done merely
for his information, for the note itself
requires no action at this stage on
the part of this government 1t is
deemed best not to make public its
text here.

mitted as evidence and the chief point
Of the defense in making the appeal to
the supreme court, 1t Is understood,
will be against the admission Of that
letter as evidence. 1t is claimed that
Just such letter is in the possession
of the county attorney of Polk county
written by Miss Cora Lacey Of Mitch
ellville, the girl who died in this city.
In the Polk county courts the letter
was not admitted as evidence and ,on
the trial Of the case two disagree
ments of the jury resulted.
At the next term Of court at the
opening period the case of the state
against Joseph C. Smith of Monroe
county is likely to be presented to the
court. The argument and plea OF the
attorneys for Smith have been fled
with the clerk of the supreme court.
Smith was convicted Of the murder of
Mrs. Ida Canady Of Buxton, and was
sentenced to be hanged. He took the
matter stoically and was determined
not to appeal the case to the supreme
court: In fact his attorney labored
with him for an entire day In the pen
itentiary. before he could induce him
to sign the petition for an appeal Of
the case. Smith is colored man and
he claimed that the best he could hope
for would be life imprisonment and
said he would prefer to be hanged.
Smith had boarded with the Canadys.
He and Mrs. Canady became infatu-
ated and Smith thought that it would
be far better for him to leave the town.
Mrs. Canady objected and after low
ing persuasion failed to move Smith
she grew angry and rushing from the
house claimed that Smith had as
saulted her and caused his arrest.
Smith was in the county Jail for near
ly ninety days awaiting the action OF
the grand jury which dismissed his
case without bringing in an indict-
ment. Then Smith returned to Bux-
ton and shot Mrs. Canady. killing her
instantly.
The friends of Mrs. Jennie Trout
of this city are growing more con-
fdent that she will secure the elec-
ton to the position Of treasurer of the
state Woman's Relief Corps. They
claim that she is to be the only cam
didate from Des Moines for any office
in the gift of the state organization
and being endorsed by Crocker Corps
and Kinsman Corps Of this city, two
of the largest Of the state, that her
election is the most probable. The
election of the office is, however, not
likely to take place on the first ballot
unless number of candidates with
draw. The position is the only one
that pays any salary and there are
more candidates for the position than
for any other
