In JOculdr Vein

Again, the yellow newspapers and
other agitators over the country are
taking on renewed signs of Japonitis.
They are going to monkey around un-
til it will be necessary for US to lam
baste those little well done Japs to a
hard boiled finish. (We say well done
because they are brown.) Well any
how, the Japanese race is about to take
place. Already the little ours are Nip
pin at Uncle Sam s heels over in Ha-
waii and the first thing they know
Uncle will kick seven kinds of liver
out of the whole bunch just to give
their lights a better opportunity to
work.
In years gone by we used to inveigh
and declaim against the poor John
Chnaman. Why, gentle reader, 1--WE
call you gentle reader because it
sounds literary like) a Chnaman is an
angel from Heaven compared to Jap.
A Chinaman is partly honest but Jap
anese is as far removed from honor
as Bryan is from the Presidents chair.
If twenty widows and seventeen or
phans and an ostrich were dependent
upon miserable JAP he would throw
every one of them down and hiss in
in their faces at their credulity. That
is the kind of hairpin Jap is now
and forever.
Japs are about as judgment proof as
worn out automobile. A judgment
in a court of justice against a Jap
would be about as valuable and as feas-
ible as serving summons for divorce
on a loop-eared coyote on his way to
dinner. They are undoubtedly the
fiimfamers and bunco-steerers of the
Orient--the short card men and the
pea shell guys of Asia.
The time is coming just as surely as
the sun sets in the west after rising in
the east, as surely as death and taxes
have the half nelson hold On US all,
when the Japanese people will get the
all firedest swatting ever handled out
by your Uncle Samuel, Esq. They
are going to get most beautiful drub-
bing when the proper time comes and
when Uncle Sam goes after them please
take notice that he won't have eight
ounce padded gloves on his parental
hands nor will the little brown devils
think they are flirting with summer
girl either. Uncle Sam isn't the dress
parade kid but he has the jynx on this
fighting business. For reference please
ask ]. Bull and the Spanish Don.

Miners Cabin Robbed

One of the most contemplate acts OF
petty larceny was committed Friday
afternoon of last week at the cabin OF
Robert A. Laird. E. j. Anderson and
Walter and George Young. who are
working a lease between the Windfall
and the Hamburg mines. about five
miles south Of Eureka. Messrs. Ander-
son and Laird shortly after noon that
day came to Eurekr, leaving the two
Young boys at work at the mine.
That evening when the two latter
came to the cabin to prepare supper
they found the house had been entered
and all the provisions, consisting OF a
sack of -four, yeast powder, n ham.
about 10 pounds of cheese. besides tea.
coffee. sugar and a quantity Of canned
goods stolen. In fact, there was scarce
ly enough food left by the thieves to
furnish supper for the two men. They
have no knowledge who the perpetra-
tors Of the theft are, but believe they
had been watching for an opportunity
to raid the cabin, and seeing Laird
and Anderson leaving for town. and
knowing the other two men vert at
work in the mine, knew the coast was
clear for carrying into execution the
robbery they had planned.
