The experience social given by the
ladies of the Baptist church last
Friday evening was delightfully."- en-
tertaining for those who attended,
and showed that the ladies in Grants
Pass know how to please their pa
irons and at the same time make
such an occasion profitable to the
society they represent. Between
$40 and SI20 was the amount clear
ed above all expenses, which will go
toward paying off the church debt,
Some of the experiences which the
ladies had in raising their individual
amounts were amusing. One lady
having made some shirts for her
husband, who objected somewhat to
being compelled TO wear such a gar
ment on which we're two right arm
sleeves. Another tried three times
to make a good cake to sell, but she
had finally to secure the assistance
Of a neighbor. Many OF these expert
ences were related in verse, though
It was said the poetic muse was not
particularly in the ascendant.

But a steady atmosphere is requisite to re-

The so called canals are not always visible,
but appear on the melting Of the snow, or
whatever white substance it may be, that
surrounds the poles of Mars. The lines
then appear and are supposed to be strips
of vegetation bordering canals OF water.
The whole subject, however, is obscure, and
until we know more about it a sentence like
that which concludes the telegram: "Possi-

distant, when suddenly several revolver
shots were heard; he staggered and fell,
bit three times, twice in the abdomen, never
recovered consciousness, and within twenty
minute three others We're wounded, the
Marquis's Secretary, the japanese Consul
General and the Manager of the Mtucuurlan
Railway. The assassin, a Korean, with two
other Koreans, stood deiautly, revolver in
hand, and upon being arrested said Il came
to Hardin for the sole purpose of assassi-
mating the Marquis Ito to avenge ml coun-
try" Under cross examination he added
that he also had q personal as well as a
patriotic motive, and his associates admitted
their completely in the conspiracy. The
police in excu3ing themselves said they had
instructions to admit all japanese and they
were unable to distinguish Koreans from
Japanese. The Chinese are irresponsible, rs
they do not exercise police jurisdiction.

Ambassador accompanying it.

because he was, Russia's guest, and import
ant results were anticipated fro # the cou-
ference between himself aud NJ. Kokovtseff.

will not change Japan's pacific policies,
which were embodied III his career, but
only the Emperor's death could arouse equal

the open door policy in Manchuria and OBJ

policy towards the Koreans will perhaps
precipitate a crisis.
