To Leave Cuba.

AS far as he can, Secretary Taft has
committed the American government
to promise TO withdraw completely
from Cuba in the beginning of spring
in 1909. This pledge is contained in a
letter from the war secretary TO the.
president transmitting the report OF
Gov. MagoOn for the past year
After declaring that the report from
the governor shows the conditions in
Cuba to be encouraging, Secretary
Taft says:
1T was hoped by some that the
census might he completed in Septem-
Der last ] did not think so. and | am
not at all surprised to learn that the
census has not yet been completed
and probably Will not be until April
or May.
This will postpone the local cleo
tons until June. the presidential cleo
ton until December, and the installa-
ton of the president and congress and
the turning over of the island until
about March or April, 1909.
This is in compliance with our
promise when we assumed temporary
control of Cuba. and il seems to me-
that we ought TO allow nothing to in
terfere with carrying out that prom
Use.
There are important interests that
would be glad to delay our stay there
for years, but good faith and good
policy, both, in my judgment. require
us TO leave at the time appointed"

A BIGGER NAVY.
Justice Harlan's View Of a Coming
War With Yellows.

In an address before the Navy
league Of the United States Saturday
night, Justice John Marshall Harlan,
of the United States supreme court,
said:
IF | had the opportunity | would
vote for an appropriation Of 10000
600 a year for a period of ten years
for a large navy. The great import
ance of the navy is shown in the con-
stitution, which restricts the appropri-
atoms for the army, but sets no limit
for those of the navy. There is no
such thing as friendship between ma
tons as between men. Nations make
no sacrifice TO preserve friendships
and do not forbear to do certain things
because they do not meet with the APP
prevail OF another nation.
81 don't care how large a navy we
have. but ] want TO see navy large
enough to take care of the Pacific and
Atlantic oceans and our ports on those
oceans
Just across the water there is a
country with an immense population
whose commerce we are seeking. We
refer to the people Of Asia as the yell
low race There are 400.000.000 Chi
nese, as strong physically and men
tally as we are.
There is over there another ma
tion whose people are progressive and
ambitious. We may some day see a
skilled army in Japan of from 100000
to 10,000.000 They will say: You
claim Europe is your country. This is
ours Get OUT | don't think they have
any such idea now. and we have no
hostility toward them. But there will
be a conflict between the yellow race
and the white race that will shake the
earth When It comes | want to see
this country with a navy on both
oceans that will be strong enough"

Fire Swept.

Fire started in the general store OF
L. H. Woods in Fulton village Sunday
and destroyed a dozen stores and
dwelling houses with a loss Of about
$4,000. The whole west side of the
main street was swept. A bucket bri-
gade could do nothing TO check the
spread because of the high wind.
Fire started in the Woodbury. hotel
from an unknown cause Sunday morn
ing and the few occupants had bare
ly time to dress and escape. A bucket
brigade tried to fight the flames, but
because of the great distance from a
water supply could do little. The ho-
tel and store of j. T. Vanhouten were
destroyed with loss of about So
600.

WORK TO ELIMINATE
SICKNESS, SORROW AND
THE FEAR OF DEATH
Writer on Christian Science Advises Warfare on
Error Which Enslayes Mankind nd-Says
the Great Work Is Spreading
All Over the World

we are called. We cannot afford to
spend our time fighting one another
upon matters of opinion or theory. We
cannot afford to engage in those war
fares which divide mankind. Lately
this country was aroused to enthusi-
asm because of war.
Multitndes of men went marching to
the battlefield to the beat of the drum,
and the shrill sound of the bugles
made their hearts thrill; and as hey
walked between rows of spectators the
waving of handkerchiefs and the ju-
bilant cheers of the multitude made
them feel that war was magnificent
thing. But when they got into the
tropical climate the weariness of long
marching, lack of food sometimes, the
excitement of conflict and then the
sight of wounded men lying upon the
field, long trenches full of the dead and
hospitals full of the sick, showed 10
them what war really is. But here is
warfare not against other men, not
to destroy the lives of men, but war
fare against the evil theories and be-
lefs and traditions which enslave and
destroy men. 1t is not war against
poor, enslaved men, but war against
the error which enslaves them; and
the result of this warfare is noS the
destruction of mems lives, but the saw
ing of them. 1t is the elimination of
darkness the elimination of despair,
sickness, sorrow and the fear of
death. And there is a book, Science
and Health with Key to the Scrip
tures," which opens the armory of God
to us. Every one who will patiently,
honestly, lovingly study this textbook
OF Christian Science, written by Mary
Baker G. Eddy, can understand now to
live a Christian life that is healthy
and holy, and also how to bring health
and holiness to others. VIII you en-
list in this great army which is
spreading it's work over the whole
world at this present time. and will
you as Christians, as those who are
benevolent in desire and who wish to
make the best of their lives study
Christian Science, which will eventual
ly redeem the world, establish the
brotherhood of man and make men
and women understand the father
hood of God?-Christian Science SEN

DEATH PROVES DOCTORS
THEORY WAS CORRECT
Head Of Laboratory of Nelson Morris
g. Co. Predicted Truthfully
That Disease Would Be
Fatal

CHICAGO, Feb. 29.-Dr. Joseph Peas
den, head of the laboratory of Nelson
Morris e. Co., died at the Chicago Bap-
tist hospital of heart disease induced
by an attack of lockjaw.
DIR. Peasden had made lifelong study
OF tetanus, and was fully aware of the
seriousness of his condition. He made
an extraordinary fight against death.
DR.. Frederick G. Hanmore, chief sur
geon for Morris G. Co., had charge of
his case, and was assisted by Drs. j.
B. Murphy and Franl; Willard. Every
device known to medical science was
resorted to in the vain effort to save
DIR. Peasden's life.
1t was thought this morning if he
could be brought safely through the
day he had a chance for recovery. An
attack of convulsions in the evening
was followed by heart weakness, ana
death ensued before his wife could be
summoned. At one time the sufferer
gave up hope and by signs expressed
his wish to die.
Dr. Peasden was going from one part
of the laboratory to another, when he
slipped and fell down a stairway The
skin was broken and became infected
with tetanus germs. He was suddenly
stricken with lockjaw. He diagnosed
his own case, and, with the aid of a
pencil and paper, directed his family
TO send him to a hospital. His first
action after this was to send for n
lawyer and made his will. He has con-
stantly Joined in with the attending
physicians in the consultations, and had
given it as his opinion that he could not
recover.
AS soon as he was taken to the hos
pital he indicated by signs to ply
sicians at his side in the Chicago Bap-
tist hospital that an attack of lockjaw
from which he was suffering would
prove fatal. The physicians hopeful
previously as to the outcome, were
silenced by the patients mutely ex-
pressed verdict on his own case for
he was a leading expert on the effects
of the disease which had seized him,
and there could be no higher authority
than his opinion.
His death showed that the dead ex-
pert correctly diagnosed his own case.
His expert opinion was justified. If he
had lived he would no longer have been
regarded as infallible in disease on
which he has made special study and
won a reputation.

SELLS BABY CARRIAGE
TO BUY THEATER TICKET

LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 29.--Divorced
because she sold the baby carriage to
buy herself a theater ticket is the plight
of Mrs. Rudolph Bartzat, ir. In his pc
tition Bartzat alleged his wife was ex-
travagant in her tastes and lacking in
thrift. Whenever she wanted new
dress or to satisfy fleeting whim she
would dispose of some article of furni-
ture, usually at fraction of its value.
Bartzat SAID he did not like this, but
he thought the climax had come when
she sold c20 baby buggy for 81 to buy
a ticket to the show. When his wife
came home carrying the baby Bartzat
vowed he would stanc it no longer.
