YELLOW JOURNALISM
IN MIKAD0'S DOMAIN
Sensational C~abIeGrams from United
states Gives False Impression
of Public Sentiment.

TOXIC, Feb. &.-During the recent dis
cussion in Japan of the attitude of GER
tain people in California with regard to
Japanese residents it appears that one OF
the difficulties faced by the Japanese
newspapers OF the best standing was that
their correspondents at the various points
lacked an appreciation of conditions in
America as we'll as capacity to a~nalyzo
the feelings of the people, or the standing
OF those who espoused particular action.
As a result. only the more sensational
publications appearing in the newspapers
in America. as a rule, reached the news
papers in Japan, the result being that
from the outset there was almost an en-
tire misunderstanding as to the real stu
alton. AS soon as the position of the
leading people of California and of the
United States developed through the more
reliable press dispatches. a better feeling
began to prevail and now this controversy
has almost entirely stopped. In fact many
OF the newspapers now say that much
good has come out of the first evil, in
asmuch as the discussion brought out even
a greater degree of friendship on the part of
America toward Japan than was at first
believed to exist.

ITO DEFENDS MISSIONARIES
Resident General of COrea Denies
They Are Interfering Against
Government.

TOXIC, Feb. 8,-Prince Ito, the resident
general of COrea, has written a lengthy
letter to Ambassador O'Bnen explaining the
published interviews with the Corean home
minister. accusing the foreign missionaries
OF interfering in Corean affairs. The resi-
dent general asserts that Viscount Some, the
home, minister is ignorant of the true Eitua-
ton. Prince Ito says during the recent tour
Of inspection. which he made with the
emperor of Corea, he found the American
missionaries entirely in sympathy with the
present administration and cooperating
with the residency. In conclusion, the prince
declared the Christians of Corea shall con-
tinue to receive equal treatment and en-
couTagement.

Body Of Murdered
Man is Identified
Corpse Found Near Valentine Last
October that of Fred Smith of
Grafton, Neb.

VALENTINE, Neb., Feb. H.-(speclal.) y
At last the mystery Of last October lie
cleared up. as this morning Mr.. and Mrs.
]. A.. Smith of Grafton. Neb.. arrived here
this mo ming to get the body of their son,
who was the boy found in the river here
the 18th OF last October. The identity Of
the young man has been known some time
to County Attorney Tucker and Sheriff
Rosseter, but has been kept quiet so they
could track the man who came here with
him, and he was located In LeGrand, Ore,
where he was placed under arrest and held
until Sheriff Rosseter could get him, and
as the sheriff left here Sunday night, he
is probably in his custody by now.
Fred Smith, the murdered man. had been
working for a fuel and transfer company
In Douglas, Wyo.. and from there wrote his
parents that he was going to Oakdale, Neb.,
that being the last word they had of him.
Finally his trunk was found. on which was
printed in large letters Fred Smith. at Oak
dale. Neb. 1t having been checked from
Douglas. Wyo., on October Q. 1908. but not
called for. In the trunk was found
some things belonging to Sam Story.
Sheriff Rosseter made a trip to Douglas
and found that Fred Smith and Sam Story
had departed from there on October 3 and
had said that they we're going to Oakdale
to husk corn. story was easily located and
he was placed under arrest. Both Sheriff
Rosseter and Comfy Attorney Tucker de-
serve q great deal OF credit for this, as
they have both worked hard to clear UP this
mystery, which is in a fair way now to be
settled and the murderer brought to justice.

SKATING RINK IN CHURCH
Hastings Pastor Creates Sensation by
Announcing Plan from Pulpit.
MEMBERS MAKING OBJECTIONS
REV. II. n. Harrison of Congregational
Church Says He VIII Have
skating Floor In Basement
OF New Edihce.

HASTINGS, Neb., Feb. 2S-(special Tele-
gram .)-Rev. Hiram b. Harrison. pastor OF
the First Congregational church Of this
city, created a sensation Of no small de-
gree this morning, when he announced
from the pulpit that 1t was his intention
to have a roller skating rink established In
the basement of the proposed new church
edifice, which is to cost 10000. Rev. Mr..
Harrison Also announced that he had al
ready secured she promises OF five boys
who had pledged themselves. TO raise suffi-
Client funds to pay for the additional cost
required for the proper kind of flooring for
the rink.
At the conclusion OF the services the sole
topic Of conversation was the roller skating
project in connection with the house of
God. and several prominent members OF
the church were most severein their denun-
citation OF their pastors proposed plans.
Some of the members attempted to account
for IL by the fact hat the Methodist church
Of this city has recently installed a tsle-
phone in the pulpit and has announced in
the newspapers that IF anyone knows of
sick or shut-in people who would enjoy
getting the Methodist services by telephone
will confer favor by notifying the pastor"
1t is said that Rev. II. b. Harrison's pro-
posed innovation OF a roller skating rink in
connection with the church was the out
growth Of much study on his part to hit
upon some unique plan TO detract from the
novelty Of getting church services over the
telephone.
Many OF the prominent church members
have openly denounced the suggestion OF
the roller skating rink In their church and
have said that they would fight Rev. Mr..
Harrison's plans to the finish, and one man
even went 50 far as to say that in his
judgment he would just as soon see a bar
established In the house OF God as to have
the church disgraced with q roller skating
rink.

tered around somewh ere among a lot of
job-creating measures.
The big appropriation bills are yet 10
be considered, and with the short time
yet remaining the taxpayers of the state
can imagine just how much time will be
devoted to this most important work.
Fisht over Carnegie Fund.
The real big fight of the session is
scheduled for this week. 1t will be over
the bill which permits teachers of the
state university to participate in the Car
negie pension fund. AS is generally
known, the teacher to be qualified to be-
come a beneficiary of this fund must
have taught twenty-five years or fifteen
years and have reached the age OF 50
years. In fact, he will nave retired from
active work when he gets the pension.
Mr.. Bryan not only talked before the
legislature against this bill, but he also
talked before the standing committee of
the house in opposition to 1t. The bill
passed the senate with only light votes
against IL.
Mr.. Bryan's objection to the bill, as told
to the committee, was this:
IF this bill becomes a law I never again
expect to hear the Steel trust denounced
by a teacher in the state university to his
classes"
A number who heard that awful pFedic-
ton were reminded of the fact that on
one occasion the Peerless Leader said
there would be no more Fourth of July
in this country If Mckinley was elected.
Mr.. Bryan also lost caste among demo-
Gratis when he was reminded before the
committee that he had helped to secure an
appropriation from Mr.. Carnegie to build
the Lincoln Public Library. Mr.. Bryan ex-
planned at great length that the Carnegie
who gave the library was an iron master
then and 1t was almost a year later that
he became a trust magnate." AS mem
bers of the committee applauded they GER
tainly believed what Prof. Howard said
when he remarked, THAT looks like split
ting hairs"
The house members held a caucus over
the bill, but no vote was taken and II
cannot be foretold whether the bill will
pass the house.
The house has recommended the Groves
anti-treat bill for passage and during the
week the county option bill should reach
the committee of the whole. Mrs. Heald,
head Of the temperance workers, has
opened her headquarters just outside the
railing which separates the members from
the public and tackles every person who
passes to sign up for temperance legisla-
ton. But notwithstanding this vigorous
campaign in violation Of the law 1t is not
believed the county option measure will
pass both branches of the legislature
though the vote will be very close in the
house.
