A curious ceremony is performed in
Japan by the court musicians at GER
tain ShihtO festivals. Both stringed
and wind Instruments are used. but it
is held that no sound should be all
lowed to fall upon unworthy ears, and
as some OF the ears present might be
unworthy, all the motions of playing
are gone through by the musicians,
but not a single sound is heard. This
strange custom dates back many. gen.
erations, but since the advent of civil
ization has rapidly lost favor.

GERMAN TROOPS
Said To Have Occupied lndo China

Toxic. May 16.-11 A. Mt is report
ed that Germany has dispatched a
force of troops and occupied HaichOu.
in the southern portion Of the province
Of Shantung. where they raised and
saluted the German flag. Haichou Is
on an extensive bay north of the old
channel of the Hoang river.
Germanys object and intentions are
not clear. 1t is suggested that she is
making an extension of her interests in
China and is taking advantage Of pres
ent political conditions, but explana-
tions may eventually clear up the sit
uation.
1t Is feared that any changes in the
existing status quo Of China, coupled
with the recent IndO-China incident
may seriously complicate the war stu
alton.
Shanghai, May 16.-The rumored
landing Of German troops at Haichou
and Kiangsu near the southern Dor
der of the province Of Shantung Is
very doubtful. The rumOr possibly
originated from the presence of Ger
man gunboat In the harbor on sur

GREAT INCREASE
OF CONNECTS

There are now l0l eonvicts in the

years. The number would have been
even greater if it were not for eight

eostu er number Of inmates. Warden
Considne is giving every detail of the
prison management his personal super
vison.
The increase i'm number of convicts
staange to say, is not due TO the newly
discovered mining camps, which caus-
I'd such a tremendous thrush of popa-

is due To the irrigation canal and rail

Nevada mineral exhibit he found forty
of the lot of specimens sent to st.
Louis missing. \ thorough search was
made, but none of the missing sam
Piles of the precious ore could be locat-
ed.
While it would be a difficult matter
to determine the exact intrinsic value
of the missing specimens, it is certain
that they run almost to $1,000 and per
haps to a sum much in excess of that

bled the choicest specimens 10 be
found for the inspection Of the thou
sands of interested visitors at the great
st. Louis exposition.
Secretary Dockham is at loss to
understand how the specimens be-
came lost, as they should have been
securely packed in the boxes with the
balance of the Nevada exhibit. He is
of the opinion that they were stolen
at st. Louis and melted up for what
values could be obtained from them.
Aside from the intrinsic value of the
display considerable money aud time
was spent in collecting it and ASSEMBLE
ing it in this city preparatory TO send
