The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but one dollar, and includes a neat

evidently large outlet for medium

sold last week at si.25, but they
were not choice. Grass steers, and
those fed on the grass, sold mainly
at $50 to 4.05, and thin light stuff

RoosEvELT's NOTE FOR PEACE.
Sent to Japanese and Russian Gov
ernments.

On June s the following dispatch
was sent by the president through dip
lomatic channels to the Japanese and
Russian governments:
"The president feels that the time
has come when in the interest of all
mankind he must endeavor to see if
1t is possible to bring to an end the
terrible and lamentable conflict now
being waged. When both Russia and
Japan the United States has intimacy
and friendship. 1t hopes for the pros
perity and welfare of each, and it
feels that the progress of the world is
set back by the war between these
two great nations. The president &C
cordingly urges the Russian and Jap
.anese governments, not only for their
own sakes, but in the interest OF the
whole civilized world, to inaugurate
direct negotiations for peace with one
another.
THE president suggests that these
peace negotiations be conducted di-
rectly and exclusively between the
selligerents; in other words, that
there may be a meeting of Russian
and Japanese plenipotentiaries or del
egates without any intermediary, in
order to see if it is not possible for
these representatives of the two pow
ers to agree to terms of peace. The
president earnestly asks that the Rus
sian and Japanese governments do
now agree to such a meeting and is
asking the Japanese and Russian gov
ernments to agree likewise.
While the president does not feel
that any intermediary should be call
ed with respect to the peace negoti-
atoms themselves, he is entirely will
ing to do what he properly can, If
the powers concerped feel that his SER
vices will be of effect in arranging the
preliminaries as to the time and place
of meeting. But if even these prelim-
inaries can be arranged directly be-
tween the two powers, or in any other
way, the president will be glad, as his
sole purpose is to bring about a meet
ing which the whole civilized world
will pray may result in peace"

TANNED In WILD WEST STYLE.
Miller Brothers, at Their 1o1 Ranch,
Near Bliss, Okla, Entertain $4,000
People at a Buffalo Hunt and Indian
Celebratlon-Stage Robbery and
Parade of Indians.

Bliss, Okla, June 12.-Fifty thou
sand people were entertained by Mil
Ter Brothers, at the 101 ranch Sum
day, the visit Of the National Editorial
association to the ranch being made
the occasion for the buffalo hunt, a
buffalo dinner and an Indian celebra-
ton. The editors, many OF whom were
accompanied by ladies, arrived on the
ranch at IL o'clock over the Santa Fe
In special train.
The general public had been invited
to the entertainment. The Santa Fe
railroad, which runs through the
ranch. carried 10000 people to 101, and
as many more drove in to attend the
show. An immense grandstand extend
ing around the arena was built for the
visitors. The arena itself was half a
mile long and third of a mile wide.
To handle the crowd required nearly
200 passenger coaches.
The Ponca and Otoe Indians, whose
lands are being allotted, had planned
celebration to take place some time
during the spring, to which they ex-
pected to invite all the other Indians
in the territory to help them celebrate
the dissolution of their tribal territory.
This was arranged to take place at
the same time of the editors visit.
The ranch bought 35 head of buffalo
in Montana, and planned a buffalo
chase by the Indians. Each one of the
special guests, and there were not less
than 1000, was served with piece of
buffalo meat In connection with the
dinner. Besides the buffalo the pro-
gram included wild west show with
roping and riding contests, Indian
dances, a stage robbery and a minia
ture reproduction of the rush into the
Cherokee strip. The program also in
cluded a parade beginning with the
Indian. attired in paint and feathers,
followed by the OK team and prairie
schooner, and ending with an automo-
bile.

son OF Year.

son OF Year.
A Great FANS, Mont. man has pro
duced potatoes without vines, and as
serts that he is now able to supply
new potatoes for the market at any
season of the year. The inventor will
not reveal the process in detail. He
has conducted his experiments in a
box AXIS feet, in which tnere is a steam
coil for heating.
He states that he has succeeded,
after much experimenting, in perfect
ing a compound resembling soil that
when heated is a fertile field for the
development of plant life. In a layer
of this compound he plants potato
eyes, then another layer OF the com
pound with more potato eyes, and so
on until the box is hlled. He claims
that in this compound potatoes grow
without any portion of the vine or
sprout appearing above the surface;
that all growth is in tubers and that
1t is not necessary for either light or
air to reach the potatoes at any stage
of their growth, elements in the com
pound serving the purpose of oxygen.
At first the potatoes, when exposed
10 the air, rotted quickly, but now
this has been overcome, he says, and
his experiment is an unqualified sue
cess after many years. Those who
saw the box he exhibited showing po-
tatoes in varying stages of growth
were greatly impressed with the re-
suits A Chicago man has offered him
100000 for his inventions, he says.

WAR STATUS LAST WEEK.
No Military or Naval Operations in
Far East.

There were no important military or
naval operations in the far east last
week, as all influences were making
for peace. No aggressiveness was
manifested in Manchuria, although
both armies have apparently been in
condition to wage heavy battle. Field
Marshal Oyama evidently decided to
postpone his contemplated forward
movement until the question of sea
supremacy was determined and by SO
doing he has undoubtedly effected an
immense saving in blood and treasure.
The week closed with an expression
of willingness by both belligerents to
accept the suggestion of President
Roosevelt for the appointment of plen-
ipotentiaries who are to consider
peace terms. This does not necessari-
ly mean that the conditions proposed
by Japan will be acceptable or that a
permanent end of hostilities is assur-
ed by the calling of the conference.
But it signifies that Russia has in a
measure recognized the hopelessness
of her cause, and with the intimation
that peace would be agreeable to her.
the first essential step toward getting
it has been taken.
The striking figure in these impor-
tant preliminaries has been that of
President Roosevelt. 1T is now admit
ted at all the great capitals that he
was in the best position to advise the
opening Of negotiations that might
bring to a close the bloody conflict
now more than year old. He has
done it with dignity and felicitous
terms and both powers interested
have not been slow to praise the ad-
mirable manner in which he has la
bored for peace.
