"Oh. shucksI" That and similar ex-
pressions have been the favorite ones
during the past few days among the
Topekans who are more interested in
other peoples business than they are
in their own, and all because a famous
breach of promise suit has been settled
out of court.

Announcement comes from Los
Angeles that Fighting Bob" Evans is
to become the builder of railroads and
a developer of harbor waterways
through his acceptance of the chair
manship of the directorate of the Los
Angeles Harbor company. Needless
to say, the railroads and harbors he
builds will be good ones.

Chicago is to have a new postoffice
building which will be ample to her
needs. And there is quite as much
hemming and having and pickering
over the selection of a site for it as
there is in boom town over the loca-
ton of its first postoffice.

FROM OTHER PENS

| ALESSON FROM THE JAPANESE.
The proverbial civility of the Jap
anese has found expression in code OF
instructions for the treatment of for
eigners which has recently been Pro-
muIgated by the governor Of the Kama
| gawa Prefecture of Japan.
| The Kanagawa Prefecture contains
| the city of Yokohama, and its people
are daily brought into contact with
| foreigners from all parts of the world.
| Are they to be guyed because they do
not dress as the japanese do. and
therefore look queer" to the roughs
and the school boys of Japan?
| This official reminder contains thirty
| five paragraphs, the purport of which
| is that foreigners must not be over
| charged. that they must not be stared
at, that the natives must not hang
around them while they are engaged In
shopping, and must not ask them how
old they are nor joke about their man
ners and customs Truly these are all
very sensible rules, and worthy OF con-
sideration not only by the citizens OF
that portion of Japan to whom they are
directly addressed but also by people
of the world over-not excepting those
of London, the worlds chief city, where
the treatment of foreigners is Migrant
ly rude; not excepting New YORK
where there are ingenious tricks TOT
swindling the poor immlgrant out OF
his last cent-Milwaukee Wisconsin.

THE ICY PAW
REPUBLICAN INSURGENTS GET
LITTLE COMFORT - MAJOR
HONAKER TO BE TURNED OUT
TO THE COLD, COLD WORLD.

Bramwell. w. Va, Jan. 25.-An
important political conference was
held here Thursday night in which
leading Republicans from the coun-
try districts were prominent. The
purpose OF the conference was to
protest against the slate for county
officers already made up at Blue
field, and to induce Rock Republi-
cans to repudiate the slate and assist
them in getting a 'free-for-aH" pri-
mary or convention. The slate as II
now stands includes T.. i. Bowman.
of Bluefield, for clerk of the circuit
court, and the Republicans OF the
country districts. who are partisans
OF Major Honaker, the present clerk,
are up in arms. A number of the
insurgents. prominent among whom
were Ex-Sherif Sentz. E. w. Hale,

criminal courts and are especially
opposed to Mr.. Bowman Rock Re
publicans replied that If Mr. Bow
man is Objectionable to the delega-
tion, Rock would join in eraslng
his name and would substitute that
ia Rock district man. This propo-
sition was not favorably received by
the major and his friends
Prosecutor Sutton is also encoun-
tering some opposition at home.
Some of Honaker's friends go so far
as to say that he has betrayed them
and is cheek by iowl with the Blue
field ring. It is said that he has
been slated to succeed himself and
that he approves the slate as made
up, which. OF course, leaves his
neighbor, Honaker, to the tender
mercies of a cold and pitiless world.
