The openng closed immediately, and the prisoner was too absorbed in his misfortune to remove the tray from the floor, but presently coming to differ ent state of mind he placed it on a table and drank R glass of the wine The sun rose and set, Just how many times he did not know, while he 3e- malned a prisoner, getting his meals regularly. At last he lost something of his chagrin and ate as usual. He knew that the necessity for his deten- ton would in time end and he would be released. but would not the destiny of two nations be changed by his i'm prisonmcnt?
 
 The newspapers of the world were full of the letters to the emperOrs of Russia and Japan from the president Of the United States calling on them in the name of humanity to end a struggle that had virtually been fought to q finish. A telegram in cipher was sent to the German embassy In Russia, directing a withdrawal of certain proposition that had been recently sent, and q messenger was dispatched to find out why that messenger had not reported. 4 reply came from St. Petersburg that no such proposition had been received and that the messen- ger had not been heard of Then there was coustcrnatioS on the part of the foreign office at Berlin. No more im- portunt message had ever left the for eign office Indeed, 1t was so impor- tant that it would not have been ac- cepted unless written and signed by the emperor. In the hands of another power it would paralyZe all the govern ment schemes. But there was nothing to fear on this score. It was still in the messengers hands. Delay only was the object of those who had detained him.
 One evening the messenger heard a click in the lock of hls door and try ing It found himself free. In half an hour he appeared at the foreign office and told bis story. The police seized the building In which he had been held, but never traced the person who had rented it.
 One morning the Yankee appeared at the office of the Japanese minister in Berlin and was admitted to his cabl- net. Again the minister looked about him as if for ears. His expression was devoid of pleasure, of fear, of triumph, indeed, of any emotion.
 Has all gone well, your excellenCy% My country has been saved"

 "YOu have earned knowledge of 1t. When l sent for you I had been in- formed ly our secret service men In Washington that your president was to speak for peace. From my spies here I knew that the emperor of Ger many was about to offer assistance to the czar. If his offer could be delayed till after the president had spoken he would not dare to face the opinion of the world by furnishing support to prOlong the struggle"
 "Good, your excellency. I suppose the president will get the credit of the peace to come, but I think 1 have had something to do with it"

Cure the kidneys with the certain and safe remedy, Deans Kidney Pills.
 Mrs. Elizabeth Maxwell, of 4l5 W. Fourth St.. Olympia, Wash, says: Il have no idea how much suffering l would have avoided had l known the value of Doan's Kidney Pills sooner. For three years I have suffered, doc tored and treated for a dropsical con- dition of the body without ever know ing the true source of the trouble to be in the kidneys, until, about two months ago, when l was induced to try Doan's Kidney Pills. I hai swelling of the feet aud limbs; my hands would pun up, get tense and I could hardly close them. The other symptoms were lost sight of in the more noticeable ones. After procuring Doan's Kidney Pills. l found prompt relief from the start, The swell ing and bloating were reduced until they entirely disappeared and a tonipg up and strengthening of my whole system was felt The othfr day l climbed up a steep hill without pause or flutter Sof the heart. It was not 6 weeks ago that I tried the same feat and nearly broke down in the attempt"

She broke out all over her body with a humor, and we used everything recom- mended, but without results. l called in three doctors, they all claimed they could help her, but she continued to grow worse. Her body was a mass of sores, and her little face was being eaten away; her ears looked as if they would drop off. NeighborS advised me to get Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and before l had used half of the cake of Soap and box of Oin tmcnt the sores had all healed, and my little ones face and body were as clear as q newborn babes.

Economic methods of eating are SC important GId so automatic that it really occasions some surprise that more is not known about the matter. Horace Fletcher, in his famous 4 B Z books on nutrition, very wisely insists upon the necessity of slow masticatiOn with abundant insalivatiOn. It is real ly astonishing how badly people use the teeth nature gave them for this purpose. Children naturally bolt theiT food, so 1t Is said, and adults retain the habit. Not having the digestive power of cats or dogs, which naturally boil their food, 1t results that much of om feod Is undigested and wasted.

FROM HER LIGHT PLANT TO
THE CONSUMERS IN

PLAN MEETS WITH FAVOR

Could Be Done.
PLAN MEETS WITH FAVOR
Palladium Special Dispatch:

Palladium Special Dispatch:
Centerville, Ind, Jan. pa short
time ago a number of local citizens
held meeting with the object in
view of organizing stock company
for the purpose of building and
equipping an electric power plant.
Since that time there has been no
other meeting held, but the scheme
is not dead one by any means, and
it is practically certain that Center
vile will have electric lights and
power for private and municipal
consumption.
AT the first meeting held, COM
mittee, composed of John Clark,
Nimrod PARROT, Thomas Dunbar,
Richard Peelle, HI. III. Peelle and
Harry Anderson, was named to in
vestigate the electric light and power
plants in neighbering towns, espec-
tally the Ridgeville company's plant,
which is considered a model.
Within the past few days there
has been an agitation among many
of the prospective stockholders in
the Centerville company, to make
some arrangement whereby the
Richmond Municipal Lighting and
Power plant could furnish power to
the local company. The plan has
met with favor, and it is probable
that among the first places the in
vestigating committee visits, will be
Richmond.
Could Supply Power.
Superintendent Rogers, of the
Richmond Municipal Lighting &
Power Plant, stated yesterday that
the plan of supplying power to the
proposed Centerville company, was
feasible, and that he hoped some sat
isfactory arrangement could be
made. The distance from Rich
mond to Centerville is only six miles
and Mr.. Rogers stated that a line
could be laid to Centerville with lit
tie expense, even though copper wire
mas Sone up oeNeIdl polHtS recently.
When asked whether the present
equipment of the local municipal
plant was adequate to supply light
and power for both Richmond and
Centerville, Mr.. Rogers said that he
thought it was, but when the new
equipment was put in, there would
be no question about the matter, as
light and power could then be sup
piled to nearly every town in the
county. The Centerville investigat-
ing committee invited Mr.. Rogers
yesterday to meet with them as soon
as he could do so, as they wished to
talk the matter over with him.

KILLS A MUSKRAT
At Fourteenth and Main Streets
VIM. French Claims Hunting
In City Is Good.

William ID. French, residing on
North Nineteenth street, claims that
hunting is as good inside the city
limits as it is ont in the wilds. Mr..
French was on his way down town a
few days ago, when he saw an animal
about the size of small cat, near
Main and Fourteenth streets. He
threw stones until he killed it and
then found it to be full grown
muskrat, which had probably found
its way into the heart of the city
through the sewers.
