U. S. MARINES TO POLICE PORTS.
BLuEJAck6Ts TAKE A HAND IN
CENTRAL AMERICAN WAR.
Action Of This Government VIII Re.
lieve Foreign Countries OF
Making Naval Demonstration.

Washington, March 22.-Bluejack-
cts and marines have been landed
from the United States gunboat Ma
rietta, at Trujillo and Celba, and prob
ably at Puerto Cortez, Honduras, in
order to protect American interests In
those ports.
Advices to this effect were received
at the navy department from Coni-
mander Fullam, of the Marietta, and
they were at once transmitted to the
state department.
AZ yet no word has been received
AZ to whether forces have been landed
at Central American ports on the Pa
cific coast side, but undoubtedly this
step will be taken IL American inter-
ests are considered in danger.
The navy department feels that the
action of Commander Fullam brings
the situation completely In hand so
far AZ the safeguarding OF trade In
terssts Is concerned.
In addition to the protection given
to Americans II is felt that the action
Of this government will relieve for
elgn governments Of the necessity OF
taking any steps toward making q
naval demonstration.
The landing of the bluejackets and
marines and the policing OF both
shores Of the Central American repub-
lies with United States gunboats be-
fore trading vessels had been molest-
ed in any manner. or fereign interests
jeopardized. Is regarded here as a
diplomatic move that will prevent any
international complications growing
out OF the policy OF the United States
not to permit European demonstra-
tions In Central American or South
American waters.
From the meager dispatches re-
ceived II Is understood that Com
mander Fullam landed force Of about
20 marines from the Marietta at Tru-
jillo and 20 bluejackets at Celba and
then continued his course to Puerto
CorteE.

Billy Sunday is the Beu Tillman
of the pulpit so far as the use Of
language which shocks" is con-
cerned. Tillman uses all kinds of
'invectives. He is sometimes pro-
fame in his TRADES. Sunday does
the same as Tillman except as to
his profanity and he comes danger
ously near as to that. But it is
said "he delivers the goods" and
on this account his violent speech
is excused. He has made the
rounds of many of the bad" towns
in Illinois and his Conversions p
have been numbered by the hun.
dreds and if reports are true by
the thousands. But we fear that
conversions which are not preceded
by repentance are not worth the
candle. We are from Missouri and
will have to be shown before we
will believe that much of his work
is little more than con" game in
the name of religion. What he
says has counterfeit instead of q
genuine ring or we have listened to
sermons for a life time to little pur-
pose.-Marion Register.

Taxed Harvester Trust.

Pukwaua Is. d. Press Reporter:
Bookings county did something to
the International Harvester company
that should cause other localities to
wake up and yet a few dollars out
Of this great machinery trust. The
machinery trust ships lot of its
goods to its local agents which must
be settled for when it leaves the
hands Of the agent. otherwise it re-
mains the property of the trust.
Brookings county has maintained
for several years that the trust own
ing personal property in that county
should be taxed, and for three years
the tax has been accumulating and
the trust arrogantly refused to take
notice of the statements sent out by
the county treasurer of Brookings
county. Last week the sheriff levied
upon the property of the Interna-
tional at its various repositories
and then the trust came to it's milk,
and an agent recommended to the
company that wisdom should cause
the prompt payment of these as
easements. By this time it is prob.
able that Brookings county will be
several hundred dollars ahead Of the
game.

Solution of a Myster,

Sir Humphrey Davy had been study
ing one evening in comfortable negli.
gee of dressing gown and nightcap at
little table in his chamber when no
became aware of curious phenome-
non. A bright dancing circle of light
appeared upon the ceiling. 1t was I'M
steady, yet persistent. and he was I'M
able to account for it. He eXtmguish-
ed his lamp, but it only appeared the
brighter. 1t was accompanied by an
odor-a scorching odor-and also by n
slight sound of sizzling. He was great
ly excited and running over rapidly In
his mind all kinds of electrical and
other interesting theories to account
for the mystery when he became
aware of sensation of uncomfortable
warmth about the scalp. He hastily
put up his hand. and down tumbled his
theories and blazing nightcap. The
tassel on its peak had bobbed into his
candle as he bent above his book, and
the fascinating problem on the ceiling
was no more than the reflection Of the
evening bonfire on his Uranium.
