Will Be a Great Factor in Orient.

Picking, China, April 16.-Wil
Prince Chun, regent of China, keer
open the door of the east? This
question is being asked in diplomatic
circles around the world. The gen
eral impression is that he will.
For on this serious-minded young
Chinaman has developed the duty OF
ruling the largest empire in the
world for the next dozen or more
years, until his son, Pu vi, the baby
emperor, becomes of age, Chun will
be the man to sign pronunciamentos
and DEGREES and rule $50, 100000
human souls.
The empress dowager picked him
for the place herself. And she was
rated as a good Judge of men.
Prince Chun is the first Chinese
ruler to make trip outside China.
He has travelled half way around the
world. His longest trip came when
he was sent to make amends to the
German government for the murder
of Baron Won Kettler, German min
lister to Picking.
On this trip Chun was keen OBJ
server of men and things. Like WI
Ting Fang he asked many questions
He actually delivered himself of an
epigram after visiting France ana
Germany Here it is:
"The Germans get up in the morn
ing and go to work. The French get
up at night and go to the theatre. "
Prince Chun spent about six weeks
in America during which he visited
Grants tomb, ate birds nest soup
and shark fins with Roosevelt, at
tended a theatre in New York, dress
ed in his peacock colored gown.
Prince Chun is now 80 years old.
He was brother of the late emperor.
He married a princess Of the royal
house of China after his first fiancee
committed suicide by throwing her
self in a we'll when the Boxers storm
ed the capital.

or damp weather or chronic rheuma-

that is needed, and 1t is certain to

Cause of Equal Suffrage in
Illinois.

Springfield, ILL.,, April 15.-Un-

Mrs. Cook, in the midway of the

He made the run back in similar cir

TOO STRENUOUS FOR MILITIA.
No More Joint Maneuvers With the
REGULARS.

Washington, Oct. Joint maneuv'
ers of the regular army and the nation
al guard are a thing of the past, at
least there will be no repetition of the
recent Boston campaign as long as the
present directing forces in the war de-
partment are in control.
Some valuable lessons we're learned
in that period of stress and privation,
but the cost in human suffering is held
by the war department officials to have
been out of all proportion to the ben
efits derived. And besides they are
now convinced that all of real utility
taught to the militiamen could just as
well have been impaired through other
means and without filling the hospital
cots during the campaign and without
causing the dreary lists of absentees
on company roll calls in the national
guard armories since then, attributable
to sickness.

THE ROMANCE FADES.
South Dakota Widow Weds Again and
Seeks Divorce After Trip,

Bonesteel, S. D., Oct. THE death
of a devoted husband, widow, heart
broken, seeks solitude in the wilds of
western Dakota, files on claim,
meets cowboy, falls in love, marries,
goes on honeymoon, returns and sues
for divorce. Such is the lot of one
of the prominent citizens of Bone
steel. The Rosebud Lumber COM
pany, with headquarters at Bonesteel
and yards at Burke and Gregory, was
owned by the Cady Lumber company
of Omaha, and until his death was in
charge of w. B. Hyer, who for twenty
five years had been associated with
the Cady Lumber company. Mr. and
Mrs. Hyer lived at Bonesteel and
were among its most highly respected
citizens. Last spring Mr.. Hyer took
suddenly i'll and died at the Paxton
hotel in Omaha, on April 5.
AS soon as business matters could
be settled up Mrs. Hyer, together with
her mother, left for Mead county,
South Dakota, where they filed on a
claim something over sixty miles from
d IdlllOdu Itdl lllc ION IL vi lDlabS =
1t was here that Mrs. Hyer met a
cowboy, Howard Luther by name, who
had also had the misfortune to lose
his mate, he, however, by the divorce
route. They fell in love and they
knew it, for on their second meeting
they were engaged and on their third
meeting they mounted their broncos
and hied themselves to Deadwood
where they were married. Mr. Luther
had a claim and few cattle. Mrs
Luther some money recently received
in way of life insurance, which condi-
tion prompte ii the newly wed to take
an extended trip to the coast, taking
in the exposition and various other
places of interest. All went we'll un-
til Seattle was reached. At this
point Mr.. Luther met a couple of his
old-time cronies from the plains of
South Dakota and the result was a
good old time spree, during which a
little shooting up the town" was in
dulged in. This stunt was too much
for Mrs. Luther, who on her return
to South Dakota at once started suit
for divorce

PRESIDENT IN WILDERNESS
Away From Crowds and Speechmaking
Headed for Bio Trees.

FL Portal, Calf, Oct. Tn the will
derness of the western slope of the
Sierras, away from the crowds and
the necessity of speech making, Pres
ident Taft is travelling by stage coach
today toward the wonderful Mariposa
grove of big trees.
At Wawona he will spend the night
at the lonely tavern, on the outskirts
of the Yosemite valley before start
ing Friday morning to penetrate the
Mariposa grove.
The president and his party, con-
sisting of score of persons, left this
little terminal station of the Yosemite
Valley railroad at 7 a. m The coaches
will travel steadily until 11:3O o'clock,
when a stop will be made at the little
settlement of Chinquapin.
Luncheon will be served in the for
est there and after a short rest the
journey toward Wawona will be re-
sumed, the scheduled time of the ar
rival there being between a and 8
o'clock.
Respite from the crowds, the brac-
ing mountainous air, breathed amid a
scenic environment declared one of
the most beneficial in the world and
simple diet of mountain trout, chicken
and bacon and eggs, are expected to
render the president fit for the re-
mainder of his trip.
He has three days of sightseeing and
restful travelling to bring him around
Yosemite and there is not a speech of
any sort in sight until Fresno, Calf,
is reached next Sunday morning.
Despite the many suggestions from
the white house at Washington, which
have been telegraphed ahead, the hos
pitable people of the west continue to
vie with each other in preparing elab-
crate bills of fare for the presidential
banquets. Mr.. Taft has almost given
up the idea of getting simple food at
any public function, but he takes the
situation philosophically.
President Taft, after spending to-
night at Wawona and sitting by the
trees, tomorrow noon will proceed into
the valley. He will probably spend
Friday night at Glacierpoint or Sen
tinel hotel. On Saturday he will re-
turn to Ell Portal to spend the night
and early on Sunday morning resume
his journey toward Los Angeles, ar
irving Monday morning.
