years past, will be arraigned before
Judge W. S. Withrow in the district
court Monday afternoon at . o'clock
to enter a plea of guilty or not guilty
through his attorney. w. N. Hartzel
Of Carthage, Ill. From reliable
source Saturday it was learned that
Samuels will enter a plea OF not
guilty. and will ask for a continuance
over the present term, which will
undoubtedly be granted However,
the prosecuting attorney would be
prepared to plunge into an immediate
trial of the case if Samuels entered
a plea of guilty and it could be so ar
ranged. The state sees only clear
case, and has been unable to find any
mitigating circumstances for the
crime.
The little community of Croton.
Iowa, as we'll as Athens, Mo. has
given much to gossip about the French
desertion case. and many of the citi-
zens promise to be seen in court during

her act. The ceremony was perform
ed and the couple went to Croton,
where they resided. A child was
born, and three months before a sec
ond one came the husband left home
and went to his parents place near
Athens, Mo. The November term OF
the grand jury returned three indict-
ments against him. One charged de-
sertiou of the wife, Il second, deser.
ton of the first child, and a third
desertion of the second child French
was arrested several weeks ago by
Sheriff Crimmins, who had secured

HOW THE JAPs FIGHT FIRE
Review Of the Toxic Department, as
Demonstration Of Practical
Efficiency, Was FarcicaI.

AS a display of low comedy talent
of acrobatic skill and of lung capac-
ity, the review of the Toxic fire Drl-
gades at Hibiya park may have had a
certain degree of interest. but as
demonstration of practical. efficiency
in dealing with what the japanese
translator loves to designate Gonna
grations" it was unutterably farcical
After witnessing such a lamentaDle
display of ineptitude one could only
marvel that the capital has hitherto
escaped total destruction or that the
ravages to which Osaka was subject
ed last year were restricted to some
10000 houses.
1t is true that the metropolitan fire
companies represent great advance
upon what they were during the pre-
Meiji days, when the greatest solici-
tude of the members of the 'hi-keshi-
gumi" was devoted not to the task OF
extinguishing the flames but rather
to that of preserving from incinera-
ton the little ef1gy Of god or patron
saint which every company unfailing-
ly carried with it on these expeditions
for good luck.
Old residents bear witness to the
vociferous energy and enthusiasm
with which the firemen fulfilled this
self-appointed task. while the fire in
its turn merrily discharged it's mis-
sion Of quitting everything inflam-
mable within an accessible area. If,
however, In the end the f1remen es-
capped in withdrawing with their little
wooden god still intact they were i'm
mensely pleased with themselves and
were satisfied that society at large
could have no ground for demanding
anything more than this.
Cool and capable In war, the Japa-
nese. despite centuries of familiarity,
appear to lose their heads when fire
starts. Confusion reigns supreme.
Connected with each fire station are
large numbers Of what may be termed
auxiliaries, who have really nothing
to do with the actual task of extin-
gushing the flames, but whose duties
consist in appearing on the scene at
the earliest possible moment armed
with lanterns and in thereafter help
