English ladies always wear de-

JAPAN NOT AFRAID.
Does Not Care How Many Ships We
Send to the Pacific Coast.

Washington, July 3.-No, Japan
would not regard it as an unfriendly
act if the American government saw
fit to increase her naval representa-
ton in her territorial waters upon the
Pacific coast, or even if she sent adj
ditional men of war to the Asiastic
station She would not look upon it
as menance, or regard it with re-
gret"
These were the words of Vicount
Aoki, the Japanese ambassador to
the United States, whose attention
was called today to published reports
that the general board OF the navy
had recommended to the presiden,
that 10 battlesfips OF the American
fleets be sent around to the Pa
cific coast
At the same time the ambassador
expressed great deal OF interest il
the stories printed and asked if they
were true. He dislikcd he said, to
appear in the public prints when
there was no reason for it, but he
felt at perfect liberty to say wha,
he did on this subject.

NAVAL FLEET IN PACIFIC.
Navy Department Holds There Is
No Significance in Movement.


Oakland, July 4-Secretary of the
Navy Victor H Me,c;,f in an inter-
view this morning with the Oakland
Tribune, confirmed the report that a
large part Of the United States navy
will be seen in Pacific waters next
winter Eighteen or 20 of the largest
battleships will come around Cape
Horn on practice cruise and will be
seen in San Francisco harbor.
MANY false impressions have gain
ed circulation about the proposed
movement of this part of the United
States navy" said he. Il have held
all along that there was practically
no significance in this movement,
from military standpoint | might
have stated before leaving Washing
ont exactly what ! am saying now.
| thought that, as the news concern
ed the people Of the Pacific coast,
today would be an appropriate time
to announce the exact plans.
1t is the policy Of the navy de-
partment at the present time to keep
the fleet in American waters as much
as possible 1t is also our policy, as
has been stated, to keep as large a
number of battleships together as
possible. We might as we'll spend
the money that is devoted to our
navy i'll American ports as abroad
In the past we have sent sQuadrOns
to various European nations with less
advantage than in keeping them al
home.
Il have planned this cruise around
Cape Horn for the practice of the
squadron. How long they will spend
in these waters, | cannot say at
present. can promise the people Of
Oakland and San Francisco that they
will see one of the finest naval
spectacles ever witnessed i'll Pacific
waters
Il hope that the talk of Japanese
troubles and OF international troubles
may be dropped by all Of the news
papers of the country. There is
nothing to produce any feeling except
this talk of the newspapers 1t is
without foundation The story that
Ambassador Aoki is in disfavor with
his own government, I believe purely
an invention. know of no reason
at the present time, why Japan and
the United States should not be on
the friendliest of terms

WEBS MILLIONS; WANTS DIVORCE
Male Members Of Sioux Falls Colony
Astounded by Arrival Of Couroud.

Trouble has overtaken the male
members Of the divorce colony at
Sioux Falls, the cause Of their grief
being the arrival of a new member
who. they fear, will bring upon them
undue and u~nwished-for n~otoriety.
The male members of the colony
look upon the Quitting in" of the new
member about as the woman men,
bers of the colony regarded the ar
rival Of Mrs. Roland B.. Molfneaux
some years ago.
The latest arrival in the colony, and
the man who has caused all the grief
Is Powers Couroud. who, about three
years ago, married a daughter OF
William III. Croker, the multi-nlillion-
aire of San Francisco. He is only
about twenty-three years OF age. An
interesting feature of the case is the
fact that his father had previously
married an older sister of Couroud's
wife.
1t is understood here that Couroud
Is to be penSioned with a million dol
lars when a divorce is granted him.
Miss Crocker a but seventeen when
she ran away and married young
Couroud, who at that time was but
twenty. The young la is an Eng
lishman with all the distinctive Eng
lish habits.

ALL MUST GO THIRSTY.
Court Decides That Willow Lakes Sa-
loon Licenses Are Void.

Owing to the fact that the vote upon
the question of granting licenses TO
saloons resulted in a tie at the regu-
lar municipal election at Willow
Lakes last spring, that place, after ex-
tenSiye litigation over the legality or
the licenses which, Notwithstanding
the tie vote, were granted, is now
without any saloons.
" was the opinion of many resi-
dents OF the place that the ~licenseS
issued were illegal and void. The
question was taken before Judge Mar
Quis Of the circuit court who has rem
dered a decision holding that the
licenses were illegal. In accordance
with this decision, the two saloons
which have been doing business in
the place during the past eight
months have closed their doors, the
town council having revoked the
licenses. The status of a own where
there has been a tie vote on the
license question has never been
passed upon by the state supreme
court. 1t is possible that the decision
in the present case may be appealed.

RUNAWAY AT A FUNERAL.
Minister'S Team After Breaking Away
Returned to the Procession.

While driving in front Of the pro-
cession of the funeral of George Leafs
child at Miller, Rev. J. e. Booths
team ran away, breaking from the
carriage and leaving the minister and
the bereaved family and friends sit
ing in their wagons a. a snowstorm
swept over them. The horses ran a
distance, then seeming to realize the
perfous situation, made a circle and
came back to the vehicle they had
broken away from, when they were
hitched to 1t and the procession cor
tinued.
The heavy snowstorm is preventing
cattle from ranging on the prairies,
and they have to be fed, except where
they can be run in the cornstalks. In
several instances this has proved dis
astrous, the cattle having died with
the oornstalk ailment.

INVENT NEW THRESHER.
Great Things Claimed for an Aberdeen
Machine.

Great Things Claimed for an Aberdeen
Machine.
Herman Cook and William Cook, who
live near Aberdeen, are e~ndeavoring to
interest capital in the building of a
trial machine in the nature Of an auto
mobile threshing machine, which they
have invented. The brothers say that
Eastern capitalists have offered to
build the machines on a royalty basis,
but that they prefer to commence ope-
rations I'm Sioux City, If possible, De-
cause of it's proximity to the Western
harvest fields.
The invention of Herman Cook
promises to do away with the old trac-
ton engine with a long belt which now
is used to run separators. The new
machine, which uses gasoline as a mo-
tive power, is placed directly under the
cylinder of the thresher and is SO at
tached that it not only operates the
separator but ~propels the machine
from place to place as well. One or the
great savings claimed by its
for the new machine will be In labor.
Whereas a separator man, a coal haul
er, an engineer and a water boy are
required to operate a thresher, by the
new machine all of this can be done by
one man. 1t is asserted that So per
cen of the expense, power and labor
required for running a thresher under
the old conditions will be saved by the
new invention.
1--WE believe" said Herman Cook,
that our machine will revolutionize
the threshing business. If our invea-
ton is the success we believe, 1t Will
put twenty-six large threshing ma
chine companies out of business

all it's contents by fire. Mr.. Hale was
away at the time of the accident, and
his wife was engaged at laundry work.
Mrs. Halt heard a cracking noise,
and, upon entering an adjoining room,
she was Mortified at finding the cell
ing ablaze, the fire having started
from a pipe Of a heating stove. One
of their children was in a cradle near
the stove and another in a bedroom.
The frantic mother snatched the one
from the cradle. and, reaching the
outside door, cast it out ON the snow.
She then made a rush for the other
child. but to reach it she had to pass
through the room where the fire was
raging. She accomplished the rescue.
but her dress was on fire when she
emerged from the building.
