A few weeks more and Hector" Conner will be flying around the State with "Achiles' Cunningham at his heels and at the third round which will come to an end about August 27, he will slay him and drag his body to his char tot wheels.
 At every point Dr. Cunningham has spoken since the resumption of the campaign he has aroused his hearers to a pitch that compared with MT. Comers effort is like water unto wine. He has left every point with stauncn friends to work for his success and the tide that seemed sweeping Conner ward has turned and turned at an aus pieious moment.

JAPAN ACTS FOR HER.
Corea Has No Diplomatic Relations

 Washington Special to The Ilmes-Dem-
 ocrat.
 Some of the members of the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs were surprised to learn the other day that from a diplomatic standpoint Cerea had been wiped off the map. During the consideration of the consular bill some of the Senators heard for the first time that Corea has no diplomatic relations with the rest of the world. Japan at tends to all matters of this kind for her.
 This is one of the developments of the Portsmouth peace conference. Japan probably swallowing the Hermit king dom at that time. Since then the Corea legation in this city has been abandon ed, and there Is no repre- sentative of that country in washing ton now. The United States has with drawn its former minister to Corea and abolished that position. The only dlp- plomatic resentative the United has in Corea is the consul at Seoul. It Is the intention to elevate that position to consul general and the salary IS to De increased from $1,500 to $4.oOO year. This is made necessary because the consul general being the sole repre- sentative of the State Department Tn Corea, win exercise a semi diplomatic function. Gordon Paddock of New fork is the present consul, but there IS talk of transferring him aid appointing bigger man to the consul general ship All of Corea's foreign intercourse IS conducted through Japan.

 Two years ago when MT. B. B. Conner was here he asked the voters to elect him to the ofice of President of the Railroad Commission and he would see to 1t that the roads made cut in the freight rate.

DRI F T w O O D . BY PHIL H. ARMsT KONG.

When a man sees girl who Is as pretty as a picture he begins to wonder if the frame is all right.
 A man is like a lobster-he gets red if you roast him.
 We speak slightingly of a mere mat ter of form. but with woman it is all important.
 A man may be far sighted and also a close observer.
 The landlord wouldn't raise any ob- jection by lowing the rent.
 When the suitor says to the girl his heart is afiame for her she would pre- fer that it flare in the form of sun burst.
 We hear so often of a man being flat broke these days; but then this is an age of apartment houses. you know.
 Nothing can express the contempt we have for a girl when we are little boys or the admiration we have after we are men.
 It's perfectly correct to allude to a woman's costume as stunning as the bill for 1t generally gives her poor husband knockout blow.
 Revised. Twas proverbial "lodge-night" and all
 through the house Not a creature was stirring-not even mouse.
 But down in the hall hubby'd broken

 And smashed things till wife know Old Nick had been there. A man doesn't need a shovel to scrape up acquaintances, but with some he wishes he had. Des Happy.

A Pitiful Case.

"A case that has excited my pity and sympathy" said well-known citizen yesterday, lis not that of extreme pow erty, but 1t is one that borders on pov- erty. and the bangs of poverty are al- most certain to be the lot of this dis tressed family unless something is done for them. A mother and several Iittie children were left in the world a few months ago by a good and noble father and husband. He died, leaving them about $1,0o0. Nothing else did he be. queath to his family. But short time more and the money will be used up. The family will then be completely destitute. Not even shelter will they have.
 This family is deserving. The widow is a sweet young woman and she is devoted to her bright-eyed youngsters, the youngest of whom is an infant of six months. Her constant source of worry emanates from the thought that she will be penniless when the pfttance has been used up. After that happens, she will be thrown on the world a delicate woman, unable to scuff1e and incapacitated to earn live lthood for her little ones. This case has thoroughly appealed to me, and nothing could be more charitable than for our good citizens to see to 1t that this family Is provided for"

The Exchange Cigar stand.

Mfr A. E. Binder, lessee of the cigar stand In the New Exchange Hotel, thinks that the published statements in the articles on the New Exchange Hotel that the cigar stand was operated by Cuesta Key & Go. does him an in- justice. He says that the attache of the hotel who gave out that informa- tion was badly mistaken.
 The statement, MT. Binder says, not only does him an injustice, but 1t does an injustice to the firm of Cuesta Key & Co, who never operate, retail stores, and who never conflict with jobbers and retail men. MT. Binder conducts successful cigar stores in other cities, and says he pays the very high rent on the Exchange stand because he believes Montgomery has great business fu- ture.

To Preserve Fruit.

We will gather only. about 25 per cent of our fruit crop this year" said Montgomery fruit grower yesterday. the cold snaps which we had recently developed in killing 75 per cent of our crop and the outlook for fruit this sea- son Is far from promising.
 q wish" continued the fruit grower, that someone could find some means to prevent fruit from being killed by the cold weather of the early spring: And I say this meaningly because believe that with science advanced as 1t Is in this age. some of our learned men will unearth or discover a method for the protection of fruit. It might be possible that virus or fluid could be found to inoculate the trees with that might protect them from the cold. Any thing that would keep the trees from budding out until all danger has passed would solve the problem. Someone has suggested that ice or other cold sub stances be applied to the roots of the trees to hold in the buds. It would not surprise me to see scientist ascertain the correct solution in our life time wouldn't 1t be fine, then. not to have anything as failure in the fruit yieldT'

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-06-11

There is hot fight on the statehood bill going on at Washington. It had al- most been accepted as an accomplished fact that Oklahoma and Indian Terri tory would be allowed to come in to- gether and that the referendum would be worked on New Mexico and Ari- zona. But Uncle Joe' Cannon is nightly sot in his way and he is go- ing to insist on New Mexico and Ari- zona being railroaded into statehood even if one or both of them are op- posed to it. It has been said in print that the speaker would rather leave all four territories out in the cold than to allow two of them to come in with out the other two. This is not true. He and the other republicans of the house would like to have this believed and they will make a show of thinking that way as long as they can. But thesfact is that they would rather make sure of getting only two democrat senators out of Oklahoma and Indian Territory now than to run the risk of getting four later in the game. It may be talk en as tolerably certain that the two territories named will be admitted as one state at this session.

The humane societies of the coun- try are taking advantage, of the pres, ent discussion of the Chicago stock yard's filthy work to call attention afresh to another phase of the slaugh- ter business in Chicago that begins long before the cattle get to the yards. It is the question of railroad trans portation during which the cattle are carried 2S hours. or longer if the cat. tlemen can contrive it. without food or water. The results is that many of them die in transit, are knocked down and their legs broken and the whcle trainload made crazy mad with fear and suffering. Their meat is rendered unfit for human food and the loss in the aggregate to the cattle raisers is enormous. A strong effort will he made when the packing house conditions are being rearranged to force the separa- ton of the killin.' and the packing de- partments. It Is held by many that if the cattle could be killed where they are reared or reasonably close in the neighborhood, the work could be done just as economically and expeditiously and the inspection would be much more effective and carried out under more sanitary conditions.
