We llesday naming w. X. Watson AMI
Hestor Watson defendants in action.
The plaintiff seeks to recover the
sum of s13O.S2 whidh he claims is
due him for certain work which he
perfected for the defendants.
The plaintiff sets forth in his peti-
tidn that on July 14th, 1907, through
hts aIgent ,Bmma Boger, a verbal con-
tract was entered into with the de-
fondants in which the plaintiff agreed
to furnish and the defendant agreed
to pay for the necessary labor, In
constructing a house in the Maple
Grove addition. The plaintiff hods
that there is due on the cdntract the
sum Of $130S2 and prays that the
court order it paid and in case of de-
fault of payment, that the property
be sold and proceeds applied 10 the
account.

Said that Uhler and Phillips
Will take McClain Room.
NOW AT MINOR DETAILS
Heads of Firms in Confer
ence this Afternoon.
Neither Party to Transaction Makes
a Statement-plans of McClain
Co. are Unknown.

IA report to the effect that the
firm of Uhler and Phillips would
locate in the West Center street
rooms now occupied by the C. w.
McClain house furnishing company
has gained color by later develop
ments this afternoon. 1t is definitely
known that q deal is in process Of
consumation between representatives
of the two firms, and that the
settlement of a few minor details
will be the signal for announcement.
Nothing Is known as to the
plans of the McClain company in
case the Huber building location be-
comes the business home OF Marions
popular dry goods merchants, whose
entire stock went up in flames re-
Gently. A decision on the part of
the Mccain company TO discontinue
their flourishing furnitufe business
would not only be very material
loss to the city but would be a
| disappointment to the extensive
clientels which they have always
served faithfully and we'll. The need
of such a first class line of stock
as is carried by them is universally
expressed by not only residents OF
the city but by trade from surround
ing towns.
The Huber rooms offer an ideal
situation for the display OF dry
goods, and II secured by Uhler and
Phillips will doubtless enjoy the
enviable reputation maintained by
the firm in the past.

been caused among other powers by
the abandonment Of the Philippines
and the Hawaiian islands was put
done by this latest move. Never be-
fore in the worlds history had a ma
ton enforced complete isolation upon
itself, withdrawing within its shell
as does turtle when assailed. Hith-
erto 1t had been the custom Of PEG.
pie attacked to maintain an outwar,
seeming of uninterrupted commerce
and unimpeded communication. No
modern government had yet had tho
temerity to shut its ports to friendly
nations, scorp intercourse with them,
and trust to Its own resources for
support and maintenance. Protests
from friendly powers were UNDECIDED
or unavailing, because after few
days there was no possibility Of con.
veying such remonstrance to the Of
ficials at Washington.
In the capital itself representatives
Of foreign nations, hearing of this EN-.
barge on the ports, stood upon their
rights and demanded either their dis
missal or the free and uninterrupted
passage of their communications.
Some of the more importunate ones
were politely told that they might
take their departure at any time they
deemed At; but we're given warning
that 1t must be within 48 hours or
they would not be permitted to pass
the border line. These discounted
diplomats either fastened to the near
est harbor, embarking upon the last
steamer leaving, or chose to remain
within the country.
The maritime nations of Europe,
aghast at what they termed the inso.
lence of the United States, discussed
means Of bringing her to book and
compelling her to open her road
steads; but found lack OF unanimity
as to method. Great Britain, jealous
Of Germany, but fearing a swift on.
slaught from the kaiser's realm, hesi,
tated to take the initiative and thus
leave her own coasts exposed to at
tack. France, with the memory of an
earlier war, remained passive. Russia,
smarting under the recollection of her
own defeat, refused to take any steps
which directly or indirectly might
aid Japan. And the smaller nations
awaited leader.
England was placed in the most Pc
culiar and trying position OF all. The
