KEEPING A CLOSE
WATCH ON JAPS

PICKING, March 6.-The British
newspapers in China are giving the
most serious consideration to the at
titude of Japan, which they assert
will defeat the object of the alliance
looking to the integrity of China The
stand taken by Japan in Manchuria
in the matter of the railway question
has given rise to much discussion,
but the determination of Japan in in
voking all it's diplomatic resources
to back up it's position with regard
to its refusal to permit the construc-
ton of the Hsin Min Tun Fakumen
railway has altered the tone of the
press comment.
The representatives of the powers
have referred to their home govern
ments in detail the matter of the
Hsin Min Tun Fakumen railway and
the question of the control of the
Hardin municipality The British
government is anxious for a settle
ment of the Hardin question, so that
precedent may be furnished to
Japan. Upon the decision of the
powers as to whether China intended
to convey a settlement of the NUM-
cipality rights by the railway COR
cession or whether the possession OF
the large tracts of land at Hardin
makes the Russian position different
from that of the Japanese may de.
pend future action looking to the
restraining of Japan.

Low RATES FOR
SUMNER TRAVEL

CHICAGO, March Independent
notice was given today by the Bur-
lington road that it would make
summer tourist rates to Colorado
common points this season upon the
same basis as last season This means
$50 rate from Chicago by all roads
and $25 rate from ST. Louis for the
round trip between June and Oc-
tober.
1t also means that reduced rates
will probably be made on ali roads
for conventions and gatherings the
same as before the passage of the
2-cent passenger laws. The Eastern
roads held a special meeting here to-
day. but were unable to agree re-
garding the reduced rates for con.
ventions, The Western Passenger
Association will meet tomorrow and
consider the applications for reduced
rates for the Republican and Demo
cratic conventions. If the bars ara
thrown down and cheap rates granted
as usual, the railroad lawyers in
! sist, it will mean the end of any sue
cessful attempt to secure court de.
cisions against the 2-cent passenger
! laws.

LEASERS SHAPING
FOR CAMPAIGN

The numerous leases in Manhat-
tan are getting in shape for vigorous
work this year. The milling facilities
guaranteeing quick returns has slim
ulated activity all along the line and
the public will be given this season
an object lesson in how the man of
small capital can make good money
in Manhattan.
The LaLime lease on Union No.
will resume sinking the first of
March. The shaft is now down LOG
feet, all in ore of high grade. This
week, a run of 200 tons of ore from
this lease will be completed at the
Canyon mill. The returns will be
in the neighborhood of $50 per ton.
The operators on the Stewart sub
lease on this lot are taking out good
ore. There are $50 tons on the dump
that will run better than 500 This
will be milled at the new plant of
the Manhattan Milling and Leasing
Company.
The Rose-Nash crosscut at the 1875
level will not reach the main ore
] body short of ten days or two weeks.
Meanwhile, work is going on in a
north drift, where the ore is proving
as good a sit was in the south drift
at IS feet.
The Wilson Mcneil lease is COM
ing to the front. The ledge is eight
feet wide at the water level and ore
taken from an upraise at this point
indicates that it will be a producer
of equal merit with the LaLime and
Rose-Nash leases.
On Dexter Union No. 8, Milo Pla
menaz will soon have power hois

ing from the present Manawa line be-
tween Council Bluffs and Lake Mana

it's extension to the state institution.
Right of way has been secured, and

Sac City, May 1.-County Treasurer
Will H. Pettis has resigned that Of
fice Owing to shortage in the diff
ferent funds, an investigation began,
and discovery was made that the coun-
ty treasurer is apparently short in his
accounts over $4,000 The county
board of supervisors were in special
session last week, looking over the
books of the treasurers office. An ex-
pert will be employed to go over the
books. Mr.. Pettis handed in his res
ignation last Monday to the board of
supervisors, and the treasurer's office
is closed this week. A treasurer to fill
the balance of the term will be APP
pointed next week.
Mr.. Pettis was serving the last year
of his second term Of office. He has
always been regarded as straight
forward business man, and was highly
esteemed by his associates.
Whatever the investigation of the eX-
pert accountant may be, the county is
fully protected. Mr.. Pettis turned over
all his own property to the county, and
his bondsmen are fully responsible.
1t is claimed by Mr.. Pettis that his
accounts are not short, but merely
muddled, and that when they are fully
Investigated he will be exonerated. He
is lending the supervisors every possi-
BILE assistance in getting at the exact

SUICIDES FUNERAL TODAY.
Miss Rose AIeck, Logan, Took Life
Because Of Dependency.

Special to Times-Republican.
Logan, May 1.-The funeral of Miss
Rose Aleck, aged "a years, Of this
place, who committed suicide Tuesday
at the home Of her brother, John Aleck,
was held today. Altho Miss Aleck had
given no intimation that she was con-
templating suicide. her relatives were
in measure prepared for just such
a denouement, as she had been gloomy
almost to the point Of melancholia.
When found by Mrs. Aleck, the girl
was lying face downward on the bed,
a strap drawn tightly about her
throat, evidently drawn to the strang-
ling point by her own hands. which
were clasped at the back of her neck
Physicians were summoned but efforts
to restore breathing were. futile.
Miss Aleck was the youngest daugh-
ter of well-to-do German family.
Both parents are dead and she has
been making her home with various
relatives. She had taught school in
various places for some time, her last
employment being at Persia, where she
had resided with her sister, Mrs. Harm
'Harmsen until recently. Her personal
share in her fathers estate, it is said,
was something like $4,000.
