SAfANESE ENDEAtOKEho.
Two interesting delegates at the recent
international Christian Endeavor conven-
ton in St. Paul were Japanese. One of
them, Rev. Toraji Maxine, is graduate
OF Yale Theological Seminary and pastor
of a Furnishing church in Kyoto. The
other, Mr.. Sadae Takadi, is prominent
business man of Osaka. Both were
students at the Doshisha, the great Chris
tian university founded by the American
Board, which has sent forth more than
5000 young men to be leaders in the
church, in education and in Parliament.
The leavening influence of its teaching
is felt throughout the empire. Many of
the leading statesmen of Japan say pub
licly that Christianity will furnish the
best basis for the right kind of a national
life. A splendid demonstration Of the
results of fifty years of missionary work
there will be given in Tokyo next Octo-
Der, when jubilee conference will be
held. The Japanese speakers will in

delegates to st. Paul, is the best possible
answer to the question, "Do foreign
missions pay?'

THE FOCUS "HOME."
Improvements in Progress There. There
are 24OO Men Now at the Reservation.

A number of improvements have been
made around the reservation of the SOL
dlers home at Togus, and it is probable
that before the close of the season be-
tween $40, 900 and $50, 900 will be spent.
Work will begin shortly on the commits
sary storehouse to cost $40, 900. This
will be located across the avenue from
the quartermaster' storehouse, and will
occupy what is now the site of barracks
! and the heating plant of the hospital.
1t Will be necessary to tear the barracks
down, which will tend to crowd the other
barracks when the attendance is large in
the winter, but it it is not believed by the
officials that it will be necessary to con-
struct another building to take its place.
Owing to the increased pensions that
many of the soldiers are now receiving,
more discharges than usual are being
asked, and at the present time there are
but 2400 men in the reservation. 1t is
believed that the number of outgoing
men will offset the taking away of the
barracks. To take the place of the old
heating plant of the hospital two new
boilers of greatly increased horse power
will be installed.
All the planking of the piazzas around
the main set of buildings has been re-
moved and concrete is taking the place
of boards. This is an extensive JOB, as
it includes half mile of piazza, and to-
gether with some stating of roofs and
other repairs growing out of this change,
involves an expenditure of $4,000. In
connection with this work is another
large concrete job near the entrance to
the band plaza, leading from the cleo
trio railway station. A large bulkhead
of concrete is being constructed, as well
as flight of steps of the same material.
For the first time this summer the vet
Grams are to enjoy the luxury of grand
stand on the baseball field, this being
nearly completed. A handsome fountain
has been ordered and will soon be placed
near the band plaza Steel ceilings have
recently been placed in the opera house
and also in the dining room Of the home
hotel. The lunchroom of the hotel has
been greatly enlarged and bathrooms
have been put into several of the bar
racks. The canteen building, once one
of the most popular structures on the
reservation, now almost abandoned, is
used occasionally as place to sell tickets
for the opera house, and recently it has
been announced that picnic Or other par
ties that wish to use the building as
sort of headquarters during the outing
are at liberty to do so. The geological
garden needs replenishing and efforts are
being made to secure some further speci-
mems. A japanese bear was recently
added to the collection.

THE ST. GEORGE FIREBUc.
A Tenants Harb0r Youth Admits Setting

"A ASnohe HdIOOt 1Outn AOm1tS SeIt1n&
Fire.
RoCKLAND, Me. July 10. John Elwell,
aged 10, was arraigned before Justice
W. E. Sheerer at St. George today,
charged with setting the fire which
caused the destruction of the Odd Eel
lows building at Tenants Harbor on May
23rd. He was arrested month ago on q
similar charge, but at that time the evil
dence was not deemed sufficient to hold
him.
His second arrest was due to an ingen-
ious bit of detective work on the part OF
William j. Long, stonecutter. Acting
under his instructions, boy was sent to
Elwell representing that he intended to
set building on fire and wished points
as to how Elwell burned the Odd Fellows
building. Flattered, apparently, by the
REQUEST, Elwell described at considerable
length how the deed was committed.
The conversation was overheard by
Archie Smalley, who was concealed in
the underbrush six feet away. When the
tale was completed Elwell was taken to
the authorities at the point of a revolver.
the arrest being made by constable Gran
vile Bachelor. Elwell's plea in court
this afternoon was mot guilty. but
after being held by Judge Sheerer, he
informed the latter in open court that
Mr.. Smalley's testimony was correct,
and that he had made several attempts
to burn the Odd Fellows building.
He was brought to this city tonight and
will remain in Knox county Jail pending
the action Of the September grand Jury.
He was arrested one year ago for at
tempted arson, but not indicted. st.
George has suffered considerably at the
hands of firebugs in the last few years.
The fire alleged to have been caused by
Elwell entailed loss of $4,000.

TIME TO INTERFERE.

Something more is needed to place
Turkey on a firm foundation politically
than the adoption of a constitution and
the deposition of Abdul Hamid. The
Ethiopian can change his skin and the
leopard his spots quite as easily as the
great solid mass of Mohammedans can
be changed in character by the new
regime at Constantinople. Race hatred,
nourished for six centuries, cannot be
obliterated by stroke of the pen. The
Young Turk Party and the Committee of
Union and Progress have made an honest
and heroic attempt, one that challenges
the admiration of the civilized world, to
interpret in terms of brotherhood their
rallying cry of Liberty, Justice, Equality
and Fraternity. But Moslems do not
wish the Christians of the empire to
enjoy liberty, nor will they tolerate their
claim to equality if they can help it.
Moslems believe that God has given
them right to rule over all nom Moslem
races, to look upon them as interiors, and
to exterminate them if they refuse to
obey. This deep-rooted conviction has
not been abandoned since the revolution
of year ago. No one questions the
sincerity of individual Moslems who are
members of the new Parliament, but the
mass of Mohammedans are densely ig-
norant and it will require a long time to
educate them out of their narrowness
and fanaticism. Where are the teachers
TO be found?
There is abundant evidence that the
reactionary movement last April was a
part of the old plot to wipe out the Ar
menian race, or at least to massacre all
its adult males. A similar outbreak is
liable to occur at any moment and the
central government, however well-inten-
toned, may not be able to check it with
even the degree of success which attend
ed it this time. Nothing but sleepless
vigilance, exercised in spirit of superb
and enlightened patriotism, saved the
new national party from being over
borne in this last crisis. They ''have
scotched the snake, not killed it, The
bloody work is suspended, but unwilling
ly and under compulsion. The Moslems
also feel that they have been defrauded
of their right to enrich themselves by the
loot of Armenian shops and homes,
which their co-religionists lately enjoyed
at Adana and elsewhere. So long as the
two motives of race hatred and thirst for
loot exist there is bound to be trouble.
From whence cometh help? Those
most familiar with the situation in Tur-
key agree that the time has now come
for the Intervention of the Christian
Powers. The agitators and reactionaries
boldly assert that there is nothing to fear
from these Powers, that they did moth
ing to the perpetrators of the former

More Proof, Near at Hand, OF

Treatment for StOm.
aCh Trouble,

There are plenty Of remedies by which
you can relieve for the time heartburn,
pain and gas on the stomach and can
smother nervous sensations and induce
artificial sleep. But when you take
your next meal all your troubles begin
afresh.
Experience shows that these troubles
vanish just as soon as the stomach is
made strong enough to digest the food.
In other words, it needs q tonic that
will rouse it to do the work of changing
the food into nourishment. The tonic
used ought to be one that will agree with
the most delicate stomach
Mrs. James N. ellis, of No. 9 Tarbox
street, Bath, Maine, found quick relief
in Dr. Williams Pink Pills after seven
years of Indigestion. Upon their results
alone DIR. Williams Pink Pills deserve
thorough trial by every victim of stom-
ach trouble. Mrs. ellis related her
case as follows:
"For seven years was in poor health
owing to stomach trouble. 1t was caused
by overwork and grew worse each year
had but little appetite and everything
ate distressed ME- was troubled with
gas on the stomach. NV limbs became
numb and I would think they were
going to give out any minute. I had
such dizzy spells that would fall to the
floor. l was also afflicted with terrible
sick headaches and would be so deathly
sick and dizzy that 1 would be confined
to bed for two or three days Twas
greatly run down and lost considerably
in weight
81 took the doctors medicine for over
year. He would help me for a time
but I would always get worse again
Through friend began using Dr.
Williams Pink Pills. The first few
boxes helped me so that Twas encouraged
to keep up the treatment When had
taken the pills while I became strong
and healthy My stomach trouble has
been cured and can eat a hearty meal
without distress"

massacres, and they have done noth lng
now. There is too much truth in this
statement. Won Moltke predicted years
ago that a universal war would some
time be waged beneath the walls of Con-
stantinople. There is grave danger lest
this prediction be fulfilled, unless the fol
lowers OF the Prince of Peace rally to the
support of the brave Constituencies
at this critical time in the history of the
Ottoman Empire.

IS HEROISM DEAD?

One part of East Africa which Mr..
Roosevelt traversed is brimful of human
interest on account of the moral heriosm
displayed there a generation ago by a
group of fine young men from the. Eng
lish universities. 1t was at the slime
when Stanley was playing the role of
foreign missionary in Uganda by giving
daily Bible lessons to the pagan old king,
Mtesa, and translating the gospels into
his vernacular. Stanley became so inter
ested in his novel occupation that he
challenged Christian England to send
him recruits. Eight young students,
some of them famous athletes, immedi-
ately responded, not for the sake of
shooting lions and hippopotami, but to
tame the savage natives and make Chris
tians out of cannibals. To be sure, sew
eral of those Englishmen lost their lives,
but when a telegram from East Africa
reached London one Monday, appealing
for four more men to start the following
Saturday, nine had volunteered their SER
vices by Wednesday. No wonder that
Stanley called the story of the Uganda
mission IAN epic poem. And the same
spirit that animated those English stud
ents is alive in our own colleges today
Shortly after the horrible massacres in
Turkey last April one of the secretaries
of the American Board received letter
from an undergraduate in famous uni
versity, begging to be sent there at once
without waiting to finish the course, An
other asked particularly to be sent to
Hadjin, place where teachers and pupils
in the mission school were shut up for
three whole weeks, not knowing whether
they would ever come forth alive, and
where young Rogers was stationed, the
man who was killed while trying to save
Others The New York Nation said of
this act: cit was a death as glorious in
spirit as General Gordon's, giving up life
to save the feeble and friendless, and we
may be sure that the recording angel will
not be misled by the absence of newspa-
per glorifcation. Is heroism dead? Not
bit of it.

A MAN TO KNOW.

While being brought back 10 health
by the acme of medical skill, it is
certainly source of comfort to know
that the particular physician with whom
l have dealt is type of the professional
scholar
The experience of having wisely en-
trusted my case to DR.. l.. Nj. Turbin OF
Chicago, and having been cured by him,
after the repeated failure of others, has
convinced me that DIR. Turbin naturally
belongs to the class of men whom our
people can trust and admire. tie is in
deed worthy and able man.
While graduate in the general
sciece of medicine, DIR. Turbin never
scattered his faculties over the whole
held of practice, but centered his ability
on the ills in his specialty-chronic or
organic and nervous ailments 81 men
and women
My knowledge OF Dr. Turbin, and his
standing in the profession compels me
to accord him proper appreciation and
to assure those who will be profited by
his unusual skill, of certain courtesy
and worthiness of confidence which
may always be expected in dealing
with the cultivated in any vocation in
life. This testimonial is cheerfully
given by Henry Koehn of Black Greek,
Wisconsin.

and he may be consulted in Wansau al

WIRELESS FOR WAUSAU.

If present plans materialize, Wausau
will sometime during the present year,
be connected with an extensive system
of wireless telegraph, communicating
with nearly all the principal cities of
the country east of the Mississippi river.
The United Wireless Telegraph Co. has
placed an order for 250 sets of wireless
instruments-the largest order ever
given. The majority of the stations will
be or K. W. capacity, with range of
from 100 to 300 miles, bet some are in
tended for long service from 500 to
1000 miles.
The company proposes 10 erect
stations until every important CONNER
cial, mining and manufacturing center
IS connected The United Wireless
Telegraph Co. expects to be in position
at the end of 1909 to receive and deliver
messages at thousands of points whore
the wire companies at present maintain
offices.
lne operating department OF the
company is at present ossanizing its
forces to begin the selection of Locations
for new stations. Contracts and leases
will be entered into and the advance
work completed, ready for the installa
ton of the apparatus, as suitable sites
can be secured and satisfactory
arrangements made. At present the
company Is considering twenty cities in
Wisconsin, among them Wausau.
This company expects TO be a strong
competitor of the wire companies with
in short time, and if it will succeed in
reducing present high rates, its expan'
sion will be welcomed by the CONNER
cial interests OF the country.

A letter in this issue states that ''the
Wisconsin river on May lst was higher
than ever known before in the knowl-
edge of man. At the head of the Little
Dells, the high water mark placed there
by Capt. Kingsberry, at the time of the
great freshet of 1910, which was said by
the Indians to have never had its paral-
lei within the traditions of their tribes,
is now two feet under water. The
mark is 40 feet above low water.
