MENsZ
Toxic. Nov. 25.--Whiie thare has been no
further official action in connection with
the immigration of Japanese to canada
and the United States, indications point to
the conclusion that the government of
Japan probably is ready to admit that the

O'Brien require immediate attention.
There is reason to expect that after the
arrival of Baron Ishii, who was sent to
America as q special commissioner to in

undertake the task of limiting imlnigra-
ton within the bounds desired by both
the United States and Canada.

Spencer, Ia, Nov. ~26.-Burglars en-

less TO the robbers, had been torn into
small pieces and strewn along the street

The fact that all the notes We're com

think hat possibly it was some one

AYSTERIA VANISHES,
SAYS HENRY ClEWS

New Work, Nov. 21.-Iienry Clews says:
Somewhat improved conditions prevail in
the financial district. Hysteria has at last
disappeared and IS now giving way TO a
sober recognition OF the fact that coIldl-
ions nave radically changed. and hat the
sooner business begins to readjust Itself
to these new conditions the sooner Will 1t
be started on the road to real recovery.
OF course the abnormal III
money is still the chief source of difficulty
Until that abates it is idle to look for any
change for the better. Credit is badly dis
organized and unable to take it's part in
the nations transactions. Consequently
there is an abnormal demand for currency
lust when the prevailing distrust keeps
alive the tendency to hoard. Not until the
premium on currency begins to disappear
not until clearing certificates begin to be
withdrawn. and not until bank reserves
pegin to rise can any genuine improve
.nent be looked for. 1t is quite evident,
now that the situation has passed beyond
The possibility of relief by artificial meas
ureS, that it must be allowed TO work OUT
IT'S own solution. Events must take their
natural course. There is already Il very
large increase in currency supply. and we
possess an enormous stock OF gold. which
promises to be still further increased by
importationS from abroad. AS soon as
business returns to the normal or settles
down to the lower level we will surely
be confronted with an excessive imitation
of currency and All the unpleasant con-
sequences which that may involve. This,
however. is a contingency somewhat re-
mote and can be best dealt with when 1t
arrives, which may not be until the end
of winter or the arrival of spring. During
the interim we shall probably be fully oc-
c1Ipied with the inevitable process OF re-
adjustment INTO which We have plunged
with unexpected force and s~uudenness.
Incidentally we may receive some en-
age by the efforts of congress tc
give US a sound and elastic currency sys-
tenn; for that Is sure to be a burning ano
possibly the leading question in the com
ing session. Unfortunately the legislative
outlook is confused by a multiplicity OF
propositions and 10y the absence of any

NJ is MEDICINE.
DECIDES THE COURT

Jefferson City. Nov. 25.-That a lem
on is q medicine was officially determ-
ined by Division = of the supreme
court.
The decision came up in an opinion
by Judge Fox reversing the judgment
of the Barry county circuit court
against James Campbell II ~discharg-
ing Campbell. Campbell was convicted
OF selling lemons Sunday and fined 81.
He operated an ice cream plant near
the railroad station in Monet.
The supreme court says, in the opin-
ion, that the only question involved IS
whether or not Campbell violated the
Sunday closing law by exposing lemons
for sale in his show window. The court
holds that lemons, possessing medicinal
properties as they do, come under the
exemption in the statute as medicine,
and their sale on Sunday is MOI "a VIC
!, Iation Of the law.

story which he vouclles for with an in

Mr.. Felter says Mrs. Felter came
home with Il new hat yesterday. on
which was perched a good imitation
of 81 blue bird, secured with the big
pin. The hat was laid on the bed,
went after the blue bird, and more thar
that, caught and consumed the bird,

The Felters are much alarmed. They
think more of pussy than a $42.37 bon
net, and made inquiry. The milliner
says the pin was five inches long, and
they are now worried as to whether all
is well within pussy.
