CHINA IS SEEKING
TRADE AGREEMENT
Minister at Berlin Making Import
ant Preliminary Inquiries
At Foreign Office.
EXPECT MESSAGE AT CAPITAL
Washington Believes Wu Ting Fang
May Present Similar Proposition
To State Department.

Berlin, Feb. Sun-Pao-Ki, the
Chinese minister at Berlin, received
instructions some weeks ago from Pel5ln
to discuss with the German foreign Of
fee the Japanese treatment of trade
In Manchuria and to breach the posi-
bility of The United States and Ger
many entering into "A special agreement
concerning the maintenance of equai
trade opportunities in all the Chinese
territories. Sun-Pao-Ki communicated
his instructions TO the foreign office
and discussed the subject IN the most
general terms, the foreign Office recely-
ing his suggestions in a courteous in
curing, but non -committal manner
1t presumably has correspondent with
the German embassy at Washington
and the legation at Pekin as TO the ex-
tent OF the Chinese proposal and what
was thought of II.
VIEW IN WASHINGTON.
In Washington, 1t is understood Wa
Ting Fang, the Chinese minister, has
received Identical Instructions ana has
laid them before the state department.
China's idea of a special agreement
between the United States and Ger
many appears to rest in the belief that
these two alone OF the great CONNER
cial states would be likely seriously TO
oppose Japans disposition, as China
AYERS 10 discriminate In Manchuria in
favor Of her own merchants.
China's appeal has raised the ques-
ton both AT the foreign office here
and nj the state department at WASH
ington as TO whether such an agreement
as China proposes would not be super
huous ana It's object is not already full
~ covered by international agreement.
II Is considered probable that the re-
cent kilograms from Washington say
ing that President Roosevelt purposes
sending a circular 10 the powers regard
ing Chinese trade IL a direct conso-
quence OF the question brought out by
the application of the Chinese govern
meut 10 Germany and the United States.

CARD OF THANKS.

We wish to express our thanks,
through your paper to our many rela-
tives and friends, for their assistance
during the brief illness of our little
daughter, Leone. Especially. do we
thank DR.. L. D. Hammond, of Irwin
store, for his untiring efforts to save
her. But all that medical aid and kind
friends could do availed nothing. She
yielded to that dreaded disease called
crou, p and quietly passed away on Dec:
20, 1907. The last song she ever sang
was:
II am going in the morning,
And in glory shall dwell;
Oh, that home that's free from sadness
Where we'll never say farwell."
We believe her little soul is happy
with Christ in heaven.

Alary and Geo. Campbell, the negroes
who broke into Russell & Co. s store. it
has developed, McAlary making the
statement, that the drawer containing
the money, three hundred dollars, taken
from the safe, was first carried to
CampbelPs shop. Here the three dis
cussed what was best to be done. They
first decided that they would burn the
checks, but afterwards concluded that
would not be the right thing to do.
They then decided that there was too
much money for them to keep, and
agreed to take out so much and return
the drawer containing the balance to
the store. So they counted out eighty
seven dollars and divided it and carried
the remainder back to the store, entered
the same window and laid the cash
drawer on the floor, near the safe. 1t
was while making their escape from
the store that the were discovered by
Mr.. S. F. White.
Geo Campbell still claims that he had
nothing to do with the robbery, but
he evidence against him is conclusive.

fudge Hancock for examining trial to-
day (Tuesday) but in all probability an
examination will be waived, referring
the case to the grand jury which will
convene the third Monday in this

FROM GREENSBURG TO BURKES.
VILE.

Editor News:
About this time last year. l adver-
tised in yonr valuable paper "17, 500
rolls wall paper, sufficient paper to
cover the road from Greens burg to
Gradyville, Midtown, to Columbia and
back to Greensburg." This advertise
ment not only attracted attention, it
made sales for me to some of the best
people in Adair county, among the
number, Mrs. j. A. Diddle, Mrs. R. G.
Breeding, Mrs. w. H. Hudson Mrs.
Sarah L. Hadley, Mrs. H. B. Garrett,
Mr.. Charles Murrell and many others,
to all of whom l wish to express my
gratitude for letters asking for samples
or for orders to ship paper.
To my customers in Adair and adjoin-
ing counties, wish to announce that
my stock of wall paper will be larger this
year than ever before, that l will have
sufficient paper to cover every room in
Green and Adair counties, enough to
cover twelve foot wagon road from
Greensburg to the Cumberland river at
Burksville, KY, and back to Green's
burg. If any one doubts this, they may
ascertain the truthfulness of the state
ment by visiting my place of business
and taking an inventory of the stock of
papers on hand, and it is my belief
that they will exclaim, as did the Queen
of Sheba ''The half has not been told. I"
can sell sufficient paper to cover a
small room, side ceiling and border, at
rs cents, other papers at five cents to
fifty cents per roll. Have beautiful
line of solid colors, white MORE, gilt
bands, all at the very lowest prices.
Will gladly send samples.
Respectfully,
John A. Hobson,
Greensburg KY.
