Founder of Modern Japan.

Paris, Oct. 26.-In France Prince Ito
was regarded as Japans most able
statesman. NJ. PichOn, minister of for
eign affairs, who knew him at Pekin
in 1898, describes the princes remark
able mental capacity and wonderful
foresight. He says Ito was truly the
founder of modern Japan.
The newspapers take a similar view.
believing that in the brain of this Jap
anese statesman was conceived the pol
icy of extending Japanese influence in
the mainland which was inaugurated
with the Japanese-Chinese war, and
has been pursued steadily since through
the alliance with Great Britain, nego-
tiated prior to the Russo-Japanese war.
The newspapers, however, are not in
clined to think that the removal of Ito
will in any way modify the adopted
policy of Japan.
The Temps pays a high tribute to
the service the prince rendered his
country.

LITTLE LEFT FOR DOUNTIES
County Clerks VIII Soon Receive Or
der Directing Suspension
of PAYMENTS.

After the LIST of November there will
probably be no more bounty certificates
issued by the county clerks of Utah. This
information was given out by State Au-
ditOr Jesse D. Jewkes yesterday, but he
is not certain just when he will send out
the order to the clerks.
There are warrants calling for nearly
$4,000 in bOunties now in the auditors
office, to be paid as soon as the money
from taxes comes in. 1t is expected that
about $4,000 will be received from this
source, giving some little time to run be-
fore the certificates are stopped for the
year.
The appropriation from the state of s20-
600 has been exhausted, and the certifi-
Gates from now on will be paid from
taxes levied for bounty purposes. The
year has been almost a recoTd-breaker in
the amount of bounty money paid out,
and it appears that the wild animals are
still on the increase, in spite of the re-
ward held out by the state to deplete
their numbers

BEST FRIEND OF KOREA
PERISHED.
Continued from Page 1

military guard of honor No details of
the funeral have yet been arranged.
The newspapers, without exception,
editorially express horror at the act
pointing out that Prince Ito was the
Koreans best friend always, even in
the face of opposition at home. He
looked for the regeneration of Korea
and endeavored to alleviate the condi-
tons there.
Intimate friends of the murdered
statesman are too stunned to discuss the
situation. but they believe his death
will have no immediate effect on the
policy toward Korea, but that Prince
Ito's wishes and hopes probably will
influence the policies of Japan for
many years to come

Germany Sends Condolences.

Berlin, Oct. 26.-The government,
through the Nord Deutsche Allegemeine
Zeitung, expressed the deepest regret"
at the violent death of Prince Ito, and
after abiding to the prince as the most
important of contemporary Japanese
statesmen, adds:
His exceptional personality and his

who guided Japan toward modern insti-

for further progress.

kiO and to the Japanese people, our cor
dial sympathy for the loss of this great
patriot and statesman"

RECIPE FOR WEAK KIDNEYS
Highly Recommended Prescription for
Kidneys and Bladder

Persons suffering from such symp-
toms as pains in the back. dizziness,
frequent, seanty and highly-colored
urination, soreness in the hip or groin,
rheumatic pains in the joints or any
other indications OF kidney or bladder
trouble, would do well to take the fol-
lowing treatment: Mix one-half ounce
fluid extract Buchu, one-half ounce
Murax compound. with six ounces good
pure gin and take three times a day
after eating in doses of one to two
teaspoonfuls. This is the most effec-
tive prescription known for kidney OF
bladder trouble. All the above in
gradients can be bought separately and
mixed at home or any good druggist
can put up this mixture.
Weak or disordered kidneys ought &c
have the most prompt attention, as
neglect in this respect is apt to cause
chronic rheumatism, Bright's disease
or diabetes.

General Clarence R. Edwards, chief
of the bureau of insular affairs of the
war department, said of Prince Ito:
Il well recall Prince Ito on both of
the recent visits to Japan of President
Taft. When the congressional parts
accompanied Secretary Taft to the
Philippines in 1905 we all saw much of
Prince Ito. He took the greatest fancy
to the President and was with him
every day at the continuous functions

Incident of Peace Conference.
The death Of Prince Ito recalls an in
cident of the second peace conference
at The Hague in 1907. Two Koreans
had arrived there in the hope that they
would be recognized as representing
their country. Officials from nearly
every civilized country were present,
and it had been the strong hope of those
two lone Koreans that they might be
given a place among the others, and
their earnest appeals for recognition
aroused the sympathy with all whom
they came in contact.
They first appealed to the Americans,
and then to the English, and from one
delegation to another they went urging
