Limited States and japan.

1t is absurd to say that the United
States is going to fight japan to com
pei her to evacuate Manchuria. III
Japan lives up to the terms of the
peace treaty. which was approved by
our government among others, we
have no quarrel with her. IL she fails
to 60 so and can give no satisfactory
reason for her failure. it is matter
for all the great powers. Let us not
forget that Japan has an army of over
a million trained and seasoned fight
ers and a navy that has been tried in
war, and that any nation that attacks
her will have to fight thousands OF
miles away from her base. Neither
President Roosevelt nor Secretary
Root is insane enough TO rush us into
an adventure of this kind on such
small provocation.

which the cooking and eating must be
done in one and the same room.
This also helps to solve the cottage

city women are accustomed to living
in flats They have learned to like the
plan of having all the rooms on one
floor. 1t saves climbing up and down
stairs, but the difficulty has always
been to get rooms enough. You can
not spread out very far in a fiat and
you cannot spread cottage house

didn't need them. The large house
habit has followed down pretty well to
the present time, but a change is COM
ing in our kitchen arrangements and
the gas range is largely responsible
for it. There is very little heat from
a gas stove and some of the better
ones are very nicely designed with
high ovens and warm cUpboards.
When women commenced to cook
with gas they were afraid of it and
they never could keep things hot until
ready to serve, and these were two
very serious objections, but these
troubles have been righted by degrees
until the gas stove now has moro

do not need as much as your neigh

Modern silo Construction

The farmers of the corn belt are
coming to realize more and more the
value of silage as cheap, succulent
feed. For dairy COWS it is almost in
dispensible if the best results are to
be obtained. Experiments at various
stations show that it may also be used
successfully for fattening steers,
sheep and even hogs. To aid farmers
in selecting the type of silo best
adapted to their conditions the Iowa
Experiment Station has made a
thorough investigation of silo con-
struction and published the results in
Bulletin No. 100.
This bulletin gives, in condensed
form. the advantages and disadvant-
ages of all the various t., pes of silos,
together with practical hints on their
construction. Profuse illustrations
aid in making the meaning clear. 1t
is a pamphlet that will be invaluable
to any farmer or dairyman who is
contemplating the erection of silo

KILLED BY THE CARS
GUST. HAUKEDAHL FALLS TO HIS DEATH
BETWEEN CARS.
Brakeman on DEBORAH. Calmar Line Ground
to Death Under Wheels Friday Evening,
and Was Not Discovered Until
Train Stopped.

A second fatality to the brakeman
ON the Decorah- Calmar line of the
Milwaukee within year brought sud-
den death to Gust. Haukedahl of CAL
mar Friday night. He had been the
regular brakeman on the DEBORAH
Calmar branch for some time past,
and on last Friday evening went out
on his run as usual. 1t was his duty
to throw the switch at Conover to al
low the DEBORAH train to back down
to Conover, but on arriving at that
station. Baggageman Joe Graft dis.
covered the red signal still displayed
and surmised something wrong. On
going ahead, he discovered the switch
wasn't thrown. and was asked by
Conductor Collins where Breakman
Haukedahl was. On receiving a mega
tive reply Graft was directed to throw
the switch, performing Brakeman
Haukedahl's duties. Realizing that
he wasn't on the train and the sup
position being that he was hurt along
the line, the train was backed into
Conover, and the engine cut off and
with Engineer Deihley and Fireman
Meyer and Baggageman Graf went
back to look for the lost brakeman.
The engine backed into DEBORAH, and
on the way found the unfortunate
mans coat and handkerchief, but on
account of the darkness were unable
to discover the body. The engine was
compelled to take water here and a
hydrant near Hose House No. 2 on
Washington street was tapped and the
engine tank filled. The engine then
pulled out slowly for Conover and the
body was found one and three quarter
miles this side of Conover. Mr..
Haukedahl's belongings. such as
money, watch, lantern. etc. were
found two and one half miles from
Conover, scattered along the track.
The superstition is that the body
was dragged about three-quarters of a
mile. and was dragged over three or
four cattle guards, and mangled in a
horrible manner, all of the clothes
being stripped from the body, with
the exception of the collar and one
shoe.
The body was picked up by Bag.
gageman Graf and held in his arms
on the pilot of the engine until Con-
over was reached, when it was placed
in the baggage car of the DEBORAH
train and taken into Calmar, where
Undertaken Poshuta took charge of
the remains.
The exact cause of the accident will
no doubt never be known as no one
saw the unfortunate man fall. The
superstition is that in walking over
the cars to throw the switch he fell in
stepping from a high furniture car to
a lower one ahead.
Mr.. Haukedahl was about twenty
three years of age and very popular
and congenia | young man with all
his acquaintance. His sad death is
great shock to his many friends. He
leaves mother, sister and brother in
Calmar, who have the sincere sym.
pathy of all in their sad bereavement

interment in the Norwegian cemetery

SECRETARY ELY QUITS THE JOB AT FIRST VOLLEY.
Republican Rally at Phoenix Was Marred By Desertion of Governor Nbbey's Right Hand Bower.
lspecial to the Reyiewl

PHOENIX, Sept. 12.-When Ralph Cameron mounted the platform at the city hall plaza last night to address
 an audience made up mostly of ladies and children, he was burdened with the ffrst blow from the capitol build ing, and running through his mind were the lines os Sims Ely's letter, re signing as secretary of the territorial Republican committee.
 Cameron showed ais disappoint- ment as little as possible, and spoke
 ia a cheerful manner, considering that 1 he lad lost one of his ablest allies. But it was a blow from quarter that ne did not expect. and in view of the early enthusiastic support from the capitol building, was complete sur prise.
 There were enough Democrats pres | ent at the meeting, gathered by the band music and curiosity to see Del egate Smiths latest opponent, to make a good sized crowd, one that was about half ss large as the Bryan
 Kern rally in the middle of the sum l mer. | J. c. Adams, who beat the Kibbey faction on a memorable occasion in | Tucson opened the meeting and intro | duced Territorial Chairman Hoval A. | Smith. Smith is enc of the big men
 in the Calumet & Arizona Mining com pany at Bisbee, which is one of the biggest corporations in Arizona. | After Smith eased his mind, Rob
 ert E. Morrison, Attorney General E.
 s. Clark and J. E. Morrison took turns. Cameron also spoke, but in
 view of his modesty as an orator did not attempt anything elaborate.
 Ely's resignation as secretary of the territorial committee is explained by Ihim on the ground that his duties as
 territorial auditor are so arduous now that the new prison is being built at Florence, he cannot give the time re- Iquired of the committees secretary
 Some are saying that Ely knew the tprison was being built when ne first lconsented to become secretary and lare wondering what has caused this
 sudden change to come over the spirit Iof his dreams. George Y. Young oi
