CHINESE FIRED
WITH FURY
eAcKDowN OF THEIR GOVERN.
MENT IN JAPANESE QUARREL
FOLLOWED BY BOYCOTT.

CANTON, March 2S.-The greatest
indignation prevailed here against the
government for yielding to the Japan
ese demands in the Tatsu Maru case.
it being considered that the govern
ment's action in this matter has
brought disgrace upon this
province The self government
society of Canton has or
ganized several monster indignation
meetings at which resolutions were
adopted that the anniversary Of the re-
lease Of the Tatsu Maru be observed
as day of public mourning. The res
olutions also declared a boycott
against Japanese goods.
More than fifty thousand persons at
tended the mass meetings held yester-
day; buildings were draped In mourn,
ing and twenty or more orators deliv-
cred denunciatory speeches. Among
the speakers was twelve year old
boy whose defamation against the
japanese caused the greatest enthus-
iasm. Those who had assembled d.
vested themselves Of Japanese made
garments, including caps and handker-
chiefs, and made huge bonfire Of
them. One dealer in Japanese goods
offered to sacrifice his entire stock.
The meeting recommended the i'm
parchment of Yuan shi Kai, of the
board of foreign affairs, for weakness
in yelling to the japanese.

THE DRUG STORES, TOO.

One argument used by some OF
those who voted for license on Satur.
day was that II the saloons were
closed the drug stores would go right
on selling to anybody and everybody,
The story went the rounds that man
who gathers up empty barrels at the
different saloons and stores about
town, on one trip got nine whiskey
barrels at a saloon and twelve at a
drug store. An apologist for the drug
store jokingly said there had been q
great deal of sickness in town this
winter, and let It go at that. But to
speak seriously, the open manner In
which some drug stores in Fairmont
sell whiskey is a matter OF common
remark and in our opinion one of the
biggest tasks the new mayor will have
before him will be to break uD the
traffic in whiskey by one or two drul
stores in town. They are said to sell
now to the aristocratic classes almost
exclusively, but when the saloons are
closed there may be temptation tc
make tho trade more general. 1t was
reported a few weeks ago that one sa
loon keeper said he was getting tired
of paying such high license to run
saloon. so he thought he would>sell his
saloon and purchase drug store. We
do not believe that all the drug stores
sell whlskey unlawfully, and in fac
the percentage may be small, but I
all reports are true there are somt
in town that will have to be watched
and perhaps prosecuted in order t.
keep them straight. This question II
respectfully referred to the mayor
elect.

RoRERr HAzLETr.

State Senator Robert Hazlett, of
Wheeling, makes formal announce
ment in the West yirginian to day of
his candidacy for the nomination for
\ Congress- in the First district, subject
to the Republican primary election to
he held in Marion county April II.
Senator Hazlett is not well known in
this county, his name having scarcely
been heard of by the people generally
until within the past few weeks. We
understand Senator Hazlett is a very
nice man, Of genial and kindly disposi-
tion and well liked by those who know
him. We have heard no claims as to
his ability to cope with Mr.. Hubbard
as q man of special attainment in any
way and cannot speak for him along
that line. 1t is quite certain he would
fall far below the Hubbard standard
/ in Congress, where Mr.. Hubbard's
gfeat ability as a profound lawyer and
wen informed student of public affairs
IS recognized. 1t is not our impress
sion that Mr.. Hazlett can make a
speech to at all compare with Mr..
Hubbard, but we may be wrong about
It. Our people would like to have him
come here and ten them why he thinks
ne should be sent to Congress in Mr..
sHubbard's place. Marion county peo-
pleare wen satisfied with Mr.. Hubbard

LANES |. srEALEY.

Interest in the race for justice of
the peace in Union district has been
increased by the entrance OF Mr..
James L. stealey as a candidate for
the nomination. Mr.. stealey is we'll
known by the people of the district
and his Republlcanism is right up to
the mark. He has been resident OF
First ward for many years and serv-
ed as postmaster of Palatine under
McKinley's first administration. When
the office was discontinued, he was
brought to the Fairmont Office as
clerk, in which capacity he served for
three or -four years. Mr.. stealey is a
painter. by trade, but his health has
not been very good for some time, SO
he can't work steadily. He is an in
telligent man and would no doubt
make a good Justice of the peace.

him with the man whom he wishes to
succeed. This seems to us no more
than fair and If he can show his ST.
periority over Mr.. Hubbard in any
way, our people will probably vote for
him. This is only fair test and we
think one that ought to be given by
a stranger who seeks the place held
by SO true and capable man as Con-
gresham Hubbard is.

Our WastefuI Farming.

According to the Duluth Herald. a
waste even greater than the waste
of the forests has been accomplished
in this country by hit-or-miss agricul-
tural methods,
There has been-speaking generally
no thought whatever OF the danger
of soil exhaustion; no thought of in
tensiied farming, whereby one acre
car be made to yield the profits Of
five under wasteful methods; no
thought of enriching the soil in the
very process of getting wealth out Of
IL.
American farmers, in many cases.
get less out of a hundred acres than a
Japanese will get out of five acres.
This is because in Japan. soil is
scarce and here it is plentiful. But
it will not always be plentiful, and
the time has arrived when the earth
should be titled economically, syste-
matically and scientifically, instead of
wastefully. aimlessly and ignorantly.
The Department Of Agriculture
and in this its functions are purely
p~aternalistic and socialistic-is doing
a splendid work in awakening the
country to the need of scientific farm
ing and is showing it how to farm
scientifically.

Kansas Dog Branded Loafer.

F. d. Coburn, secretary Of h Kan
sas Board of Agriculture, is very much
opposed to the dog in Kansas. as it
prevents the growing OF sheep. A
farmer in Norton county asked Mr..
Coburn for advice about starting a
flock and this is a part of Mr.. Coburn's
reply:
considering the sheep-raising in
vestment, | may say that the people
of your county appear, from the re-
turns by the officials, to be far more
partial to developing the dog industry
than sheep.
For example, they report to this
office that in 1905 the county was cul-
tivating 1909 dogs and 1872 sheep. and
1906 increased the dogs to LIZA and
reduced the sheep to 142.
The average canine (your Bob and
Fannie and my Tige and Togo always
excepted, of course) is a worthless
sycophantic, lawn-defling, fiea-breed-
ing, ~fy,snapping. porch loafer by day.
equaled by no other domestic animal
in habits of u~nspeakable nastinesS. and
a sneaking, murderous coward, prowl-
ing all the countryside by night, with
a lust for mere wanton slaughter, and
he harmonizes with the harmless, bene-
ficent sheep only after the sheep are
inside his stomach, wool in his teeth
and his jaws dripping with blood"
Mr.. COburn is the man who made
Kansas gasp by refusing appointment
to the United States Senate.

tuberculosis Germs in Butter.

The danger from tuberculosis germs
in butter Is pointed out in a publica-
ton just issued at Circular 1877 Of the
bureau Of animal industry, United
States Department of Agriculture.
This circular reports experiments
made by DR.. e. c. Schroeder and w.
E. Cotton at the bureau experiment
station. Butter was made from the
milk of a tuberculosis COW, and after
being kept for different lengths of
time it was inoculated into more than
fifty guinea pigs in order to deter
mine how long the germs live and
retain their virulence in butter. With
the exception of five that died prema-
tuIely from other causes and one that
was killed, all the guinea pigs died OF
generated tuberculosis, and the one
that was killed was also found affect
ed.
The results Of these experiments
prove ~conclusively that tubercle bac-

lence in ordinary sailed butter practi.

longer, and they give new evidence
of the danger from the use of tuber-
culosis cows for daily purposes.

Those That Have Tusks.

ion. But the work in which the dis
the elephant Of the highest value, is
that which involves the moving of
heavy material. Hence, in dragging
or piling timber, or in transporting
stones for the construction of walls
and the approaches to bridges, the
services of the elephant in an In
opened country are of the utmost i'm
portance.
When the roads are to be con-
structed along the face of steep de-
clivities, and the space is so con-
tracted that risk is incurred, either of
the working elephants falling over the
precipice or of rocks slipping down
from above, not only are the meas
ures to which the sagacious animal re-
sorts the most judicious and reasona-
BILE that could be devised, but, if urged
by its keeper to adopt any other, it
manifests a reluctance sufficient to
show that it has balanced in Its mind
the comparative advantages of each.
An elephant appears on all occa-
sions to comprehend the purpose and
object that it is expected to promote,
and hence the animal voluntarily exc
cutes a variety of details without any
guidance whatever from its keeper.
Herein lies the superiority of the ele-
plant over the horse. In moving tim
Der and masses of rock its trunk is
the instrument on which the elephant
mainly relies, but those that have
tusks turn them to good account.
To get a weighty stone u of a
hollow, the elephant will kneel down
so as to apply its head to move the
stone upward; then, steadying the
stone with M foot till it can raise
itself, it will apply a fold of it's trunk
to shift the stone in place and fit it
accurately in position. This done, the
elephant will step around to view the
stone on either side and adjust it with
due precision. The animal appears to
gauge its own task with its eye, and
to form a judgment as to whether the
! weight is proportioned to its strength.

Is Pe-ru-na Useful
for catarrh?

Should a list of the ingredients of Pc
runa be submitted to any medical ex-
pert, Of whatever school or nationality,
he would be obliged to admit without
reserve that the medicinal herbs com
posing Peruna are of two kinds. First,
standard and well-tried catarrh RENE
dies. Second, well-known and gener-
ally acknowledged tonic remedies.
That In one or the other of these uses
they have stood the test of many years
experience by physicians Of different
schools. There can be no dispute about
this, whatever. Peruna is composed OF
some Of the most e~fficacious and uni
versally used herbal remedies for ca
tarrhal diseases, and for such conditions
of the human system as require a tonic.
Each one of the principal ingredients
oil Peruna has a reputation of its own
in the cure of some phase of catarrh or
as a tonic medicine.
The fact is, chronic catarrh is a dis
ease which is very prevalent. Many
thousand people know they nave
chronic catarrh. They have visited doc
tors over and over again, and been told
that their case is one of chronic catarrh.
1t may be of the nose, throat, lungs,
stomach or some other internal organ.
There is no doubt as to the nature of
the disease. The only trouble is the
remedy. This doctor has tried to cure
them. That doctor has tried to pre-
scribe for them.
No other household remedy so uni
versally advertised carries upon the
label the principal active constituents,
showing that Peruna invites the full
inspection Of the critics.
