JAPAN seems 10 be no more anxious
to let her people 90 than we are TO get
them. This makes a very agreeable

lr is, of course, a keenly distressing
experience for the Standard oil com
pany TO have its confidential letters
stolen and paraded before the public.
For the Standard to discover that it
has been betrayed 10y spies and treach-
erous servitors is not one whit less
shocking and painful than it would be
if the Standard had never used spies
and traitors to obtain information re
garding the affairs of its competitors.
II is so very, very different, you know,
when one s own OK is gored.

ANOTHER BODY FOUND.
Making Tenth Person to Meet Deatt,
on the Guinness Farm.

Laporte, Ind, May 8. One more
body has been added to the death roll
IF the Guinness farm and the grue-
yome relics now number ten. B, .5.sss ss
Coroner Mack had at first an
hounced that the latest grave opened
contained one complete cadaver and
portions Of q second, but later said
that what he had at first believed to
be additional thigh or arm bones are
really pieces OF the first. y
The body was by far the least pre-
Ierved of any sof the ten gruesome
relics In addition to the usual traces
Of lime, the evidences were that a
less skilfull hand had accompli
the dismemberment OF the latest
sorpse found. The legs had been, as
usual, severed above the knee joint
but the bones were splintered and the
shoulder blades shattered. The skull
had been separated and was lying
near the feet Of the corpse. Nothing
but jumbled heap of dried flesh and
crumbling bones were left to indicate
the identity Of the person. It was
thought, however, that the body was
that of woman, as a pair Of woman's
Oxford ties and the metal frame of
. woman's purse were found IN the
Erave. z%

ENTERTAINMENT FURNISHED
THE FAIR VISITORS.
Bureau of Information With Ample
Accommodations for Visitors.

| While the management of the
lewiston Charleston fair has been
busily engaged in securing the at
| fractions, exhibits and interesting
, features necessary to the success of
such an undertaking, the question
OF providing accommodations for the
strangers who will come to the city
has not been forgotten.
Early in the season arrangements
were completed for opening an infor-
nation bureau, with Kenneth Cor
don on Fifth street and during the
past 10 days practically every avail
abe room in the city has been listed
at this bureau, and messenger boys
will be available to direct strangers
to their quarters.
In the work Of providing these
quarters the fair management has
met with the most hearty co-opera-
ton on the part of the lewiston
Charleston citizens, and because of
this assis ance the association is now
in position to bid its guests well
come. If there are rooms available
that are not listed, it is the desire of
the association that the location of
these rooms. with price desired. be
made known to the information bu-
reau at the earliest possible date, as
all of the visitors will not reach the
city tomorrow. Mondays trains will
bring hundreds from all directions.
and the arrivals on Tuesday and
Wednesday will reach into the thou
sands.
The cooperation of the lewiston
Charleston people in opening their
their homes to the fair visitors is
but a suggestion of the cordial hos
pitality for which the communities
are known, and with the assurance
OF larger crowds than ever before
the fair management has urged that
every available room be placed at
the disposal OF the information bu-
reau during the coming week.
