Japan a Practical Nation.


Marvellous is the fortune of Japan.
The only nation that might stay her
continental strides toward empire is
paralyzed by revolutionary struggles
against government whose existence
is a monstrous anachronism. The ma
tions which must meet her on the
worldwide field of industrial war have
tied their own hands with vain eco
nomic theories belonging to a dead
time. There Is no nation SO practical
as the Japanese. What is best to be
done. that thing they do. Their consti-
tuition is not invoked to inhibit the
general welfare and stay up the priv
ileges Of plutocracy Dead govern
mental theories of bygone age are
dead to them and they modify their
political philosophy to suit the future.
Though they worship their ancestors,
remarks the Portland Oregonian, they
care less than any other people for
time-worn opinions. The things that
we believe theoretically they put in
practice.

The skuIker and tfe AustIer.

Accidents and exceptions for indiv-
idual reasons aside. the young man
whose chief effort has been to avoid
working more than his pay called for
and who has carried this as the gov
erning principle of his life, has been
a greater or less failure. When he him
self has reached middle life and has
begun to complain because other men
have got ahead of him, he looks every
where but in the right place for the
reason. The place is himself and the
reason is that he made the mistake
of never doing as well as he could, be-
cause he was afraid of cheating him
self. What he actually did was to
cheat himself in the worst way. says
the New Bedford. Mass. Standard.
There is, as a rule. no escape >from
the truth that unless a man gives the
best there Is In him he will never get
the best there is for him. Careers
which look like exceptions to this rule
are due either to peculiar conditions
such as do not arise in ordinary lives
or else the appearance is deceptive.

German Trade In BRAZIL.

Germans are now doing much of the
business in Brazil that was formerly
carried on by British manufacturers.
This is due. primarily. to the fact that
the German salesman is particularly
well equipped in business training,
languages. and adaptability, to secure
the confidence of tie Brazilians. and
secondly, to the fact that German
houses will modify their goods to
meet the special Brazilian require
ments. At the same time German
goods are not well thought of in Brazil
and where the proper effort is made
American goods will always sell in
preference to German goods even at
a considerably higher price. For ex-
ample. nine-tenths of all the electri-
cal machinery in Brazil is American.

Eben Smith at Leadville.

Leadville.-The late Eben Smith
came to Leadville about 1884, from
Gilpin and Clear Creek counties,
where he was associated with Senator
Chaffee and d. H. Moffat. He has rep
resented Moffuts interest in this dis
trict during his residence here. He

gan the first operations on the Ell
Paso. After a few years the Moffat
interests spread out and Eben Smith
went to Aspen. He came back about

INDIANS CAPTURE TRAIN.
Take Possession Of Supplies En- Route
to Cavalry.


Sheridan. Wyo.--A four-horse wagon
loaded with government supplies in
tended for the Tenth and Sixth troops
of cavalry was held up by the Utes at
point between Arvada and the mill
tary camp near Moorehead, and looted.
The driver was held at the point Oh
half hundred rifles unutil the bucks
empticd the big load and strapped 1t ON
their ponies.
In the load was 5000 pounds OF -four,
and the military is reported camped
ut the mouth of Buffalo creek subsist-
ing on short rations until the arrival OF
more. hastily ordered from Arvada.
The Sixth cavalry from Fort Meade
expected to join the troops from Fort
Koogh bringing supplies Tor them,
The Keogh troops are at Ashland
with these supplies and expected 10
meet the Sixth there.
After looting the wagon, the Indians
allowed the driver to proceed. and the
band rode away with the booty THIS
band is now reported to have outwlt-
ted the soldiers and scouts completely
and is reported returning up Little
Powder river and already In Wyo-
ming. They are thought to be either
waiting for the Cheyennes to join them
or sparring for time in order to make
better terms with the government In
case of surrender. One hundred
braves are reported In this band. the
others now being camped on Bear
creek, near Birney. Two companies
of infantry from Fort Mackenzie have
left Sheridan for the vicinity OF BIZ
ney and 1t is intended to patrol the
eastern boundary of the Cheyenne res.
ervation to prevent the movement OF
that tribe eastward.
Scout Rossculp of Birney. who is
thoroughly conversant with the section
of the country in which the Utes are
now believed to be in, does not think
the renegades will be given any as
sistance by the Cheyennes. Only one
fifth OF these are on the reservation.

BATTLE WITH ROBBERS.
Captured Bandit Says He is From
Colorado

Spokane, Wash.-Four men are dead
as result of the battle Wednesday
afternoon near Kennewick, Washing
ton, between officers and Jacob Lake
and Robert Layton, who had robbed
two stores in Kennewick. The dead
are:
Marshal Mike Glover, killed in

Jacob Lake, ex-convict, killed in
stantly.
Joe Efolzer, deputy sheriff, died this
morning as a result of wounds in ab-
domen.

cidentally shot in stomach by deputy
sheriff
The captured robber is a youth who
first gave his name as Robert Layton
and who later said his name was Ern-
est Barker, and that he came from
Florence, Colorado. He seems to have
adopted the name of Barker in the
hope of concealing his own, which is
probably Robert Layton. His home is
at Florence, Colorado. and he is an un.

The officers were led by the sheriff,

fusillade was lively. Lake, the dead

the state penitentiary.

The editor of the North American
Review has come out for womans
suffrage ION account of woman's ac-
quirement of property and because the
intellectual equipment of the average
American woman is quite equal to
that of the medal man." We think
the average American woman would
Indignantly reject suffrage on any
such ground of equality. The medal
man is something she rates between

in Italy.

IN itaiy.
Kansas City.-Col. Henry Steele Oh
colt of Adyar, India, the president
founder of the Theosophical Society
end co-worker in her lifetime of the
late Helen P. Blavatsky, has been Sc.
riously injured in a railway wreck in
Italy, according to private advices Just
received here by member of the So
ciety in this city. Beyond stating that
he had been placed in hospital and
is "in a bad way" no details of the
wreck are given. Because Of his ad-
vanced years fears for his recovery
are entertained.
Colonel Olcott at the time was on his
way TO India from Chicago, where he
had presided at the annual conven
tion of the American section of the
Theosophical society held in that city
in September.
Col. Henry Steele Olcott received
his title in the Civil War. He is sew.
enty-five years of age. In his early life
Colonel Olcott was a newspaper man
and at the execution of John Brown
of Osawatomie, he represented the
New York Tribune. He left newspaper
work in the '70s and with the late
Helen p. Blavatsky founded the Theo-
sophical society. For years these two
worked together with Colonel Olcott
as the organizer.
After the woman's death he went to
India and from there has, in conjunc-
tion with Mrs. Annie Besant, directed
the entire movement. His authority In
the Theosophical society is supreme
The American charter is entirely un-
der his control and with the stroke of
pen he could wipe out of existence
the seventy different branches with
their hundrdeds Of members in this
country.

NO MEDICINE
But Change of Food Gave Final Relief

Most diseases start in the alimentary
canal-stomach and bowels
A great deal of our stomach and
bowel troubles come from eating too
much starchy and greasy food.
The stomach does not digest any OF
the starchy food we eat--white bread,
pastry, potatoes, oats, etc.-these things
are digested in the small intestines,
and if we eat too much, as most of us
do, the organs that should digest this
kind of food are overcome by excess Of
work so that fermentation. indigestion
and long train of ails result.
Too much fat is also hard to digest
and this is changed into acids, sour
stomach, belching of gas and bloat-
ed, heavy feeling
In these conditions a change from
indigestible foods to Grape-Nuts will
work wonders in not only relieving the
distress but in building up a strong di-
gestion, clear brain and steady nerves.
"A Wash. woman writes:
about five years ago suffered with
bad acknowledgements Indigestion,
constipation-caused, know now,
from eating starchy and greasy food.
Il doctored for two years without
any benefit. The doctor told me there
was no cure for me. could not eat
anything without suffering severe pain
in my back and sides, and became
discouraged.
a friend recommended Grape Nuts
and l began to use it. In less than
two weeks I began to feel better and
inside of two months I was well wo-
man and have been ever since.
Il can eat anything I wish with
pleasure. We eat Grape-Nuts and
cream for breakfast and are very fond

SOMETHING MAY BE DONE.

Something is apparently doing at the
old copper mine several miles north Of
the borough of Bristol where thou
sands of dollars has gone down the
shaft in search for copper When the
last company that operated the mine
disbanded in 1891 it left a pretty COM
plete outfit for the production of cop
per ore.
In the building across the road from
the shaft house and engine room of the
mining company was the machinery,
and it was considered valuable. The
machinery was there until within a
short time but now it has been taken
away and nobody seems to know where
1t has been taken to. Some weeks ago
there were some men looking over the
property and there was a story current
at the time that something was likely
to develop at the mine, but as the ma
chinery has been taken away ore could
not be reduced under the present cir
cumstances. With the prevailing high
price of copper it would not be surpris-
ing if somebody decided to form a
company and try to make the old mine
pay again, as it did years ago.
