In loving remembrance of w. |
Bundick, who departed this life Jul
the OATH, 1907.
You've reached heaven dear,
Led by the Saviour's hand,
And joined the holy,
Though missing by our band.
Released from pain and sorrow,
Sin and harm unknown,
There comes no sad tomorrow,
Where Jesus reigns alone.

How dear he was to me,
IT'LL sitting in the shadow,
His face / cannot see.

Tears will begin to fall,

Who kindly wipes them all.
Jesus doeth all things well;
] say it now in tears,
But | will sing it with those | love,
Through bright eternal years.
The day will come when shall
See his face and hear my husbands
Voice again, know that.

TOO BUSY IN FAR EAST.
Japan Has No Time for War With
America.

Paris, Jan. 9.-The Echo de Paris
prints an interview emanating, it
says, from an authorized Japanese
source" with the object of showing
that Japan is so absorbed with the
mainland of Asia that war with Amer
lea is impossible.
THE entire attention of Japan"
7ays the interview, lis occupied with
China and Korea where developments
are occurring which are giving Toxic
the greatest concern. China has just
dismissed a number of Japanese in
structors, who have been replaced
with Germans. The Manchurian sit
uation is full of complications. China
demands the immediate integral ap-
plication of the treaty Of Portsmouth,
which would deprive Japan of the pos
sibility of exercising an eticacious in
fluence In Manchuria."
Japan opposes the extension of the
Peking railroad to Foukoumen by way
of Hsinmintun on the ground that the
Peking agreement of 1905 stipulated
that China should not construct a
parallel line injurious to Japanese in
terests The Japanese occupation Of
Korea also is meeting with much op
position and for this and other rea-
sons Japan is actively pushing the
work of increasing her ornaments.

Statement Issued by New Hampshire
Labor Federation.

Concord, N. H, Jan. 9.-Opposition
to Secretary Taft as presidential
candidate was embodied in a state
ment issued by the executive commit
tee of the state branch of the Amer.
lean Federation of Labor. The state.
ment says in part:
I'VE, the executive committee OF
the New Hampshire branch of the
American Federation of Labor, in sen
timent and sympathy with union mem.
bers of all political parties in this
country, hereby declare ourselves un-
alterably opposed to the nomination of
William Fl. Taft, secretary of war, for
the presidency; that we recognize in
him, through his public utterances
and judicial decisions and opinions,
the arch enemy of organized labor;
that he is the instrument and ex-
ponent of capitalists power; that the
writ of injunction, which he upholds,
with other iniquitous measures, never
was intended and never should be ap-
piled to deprive honest industry of its
personal rights: that we object to his
methods of campaigning as any one
mans man, however exalted and in
fiuential may be his master or wide
spread his own support and endeavor;
and that we are determinedly and
irrevocably opposed to his candidacy"

UNABLE TO GET RECRUITS
Hard Times in Industrial World Does
Not Help the Army.

Washington, Jan 9.-The hard
times in the industrial world, that
have driven into the marine corps and,
the navy nearly all of the men needed
to fill the authorized quotas, have not
helped the army so far in the matter
of recruitment Reports still flow in
upon the war department of failure
to secure recruits; of privates buying
their discharges; of on-commissioned
officers refusing to re-enlist and of re-
sulting skeleton organizations that are
little more than travesties upon fight
ing forces. A typical report just at
hand is one from Fort Mcintosh, Tex,
in which the commanding officer of a
battalion of the Nineteenth infantry
says:
81 have present today in the four
companies ftfty-six men and twenty
nine Of these are to be discharged
this month. At the end of this month
if we get no recruits cnes company will
have throe men and another four. The
other two companies will have eleven
and twelve men, respectively"
The report is one of a number being
collected for the enlightenment of
congress in dealing with the great
question of what is wrong with the
army"

FAKE LOTTERY CONCERNS
Thousands of People Being Swindied
Each Week.

New YORK, Jan. 9-Inyestigation
into the traffic in lottery tickets on
the East Side of the city shows, ac-
cording TO postoffice inspectors, that
not only is the traffic an extensive
one but that large proportion of the
tickets sold are forgeries and that
thousands of poor people are being
swindled each week by fake concerns
which pay a small prize here and
there to keep up interest in their en-
terprises. Postal inspectors say that
in spite of the utmost vigilance of
the state and department officials a
considerable number of tickets from
the big lotteries in Germany and
South America find their way into
this country Their number is small,
however, compared with that of the
fictitious concerns.

ley and an unknown Swede.
All but the Hundleys and the Swede
were residents of Kickapoo. The men
were employed by the Kansas Natural
Gas company in constructing a pipe
line under the river and had been
working on the Missouri side of the
river and the accident happened when
the men were rowing to the Kansas
side, preparatory to returning to their
homes.
They had proceeded about a third of
the way across, when the boat cap
sized, throwing the occupants into the
water. None of the bodies has as yet
been recovered.
