RUSSIA NOT BELlIC0SE
Mobilize ton of Troops on Mon
teneg- ! Frontier Turker- Affair

- Petersburg Nav 25-The report Of
VI. Tcharykoff. the Russian Ambassador at
Constantlnople 70 the Foreign Office to-day
does not contain any expression from the
Turkish government regarding the Russian
represontations with reference 10 the mob
ilization ~ troops on the Montenegrin
frontier. II is surmised that Turkey is not
inclined 10 make public declaration Of
nacihc intentions. as she considers the To-
cation OF Ter troops on the Montenegro
frontier as her own private affair.
Turkey az the present juncture is sup
ported by Germany and Austria, the news
papers of which countries have given the
Russian note an unfavorable reception and
have exaggerated its nature
REPRESENTATIVES Of the Russian Foreign
Office to-day explained that the so-called
note really was verbal communication
appealing TO the pacific sentiments which
the Porte has az various times expressed.
The Foreign Office officials pointed out that
the pacific character Of the Russian repre-
sentations was emphasized by the fact that
similar step was taken at Cettinie.
These explanations are considered 20
mean that Russia is prepared TO retreat in
the face Of disagreement on the part Of the
powers The situation however, leaves the
Russo Turkish relations strained.
London. MAY 26-"The Chronicles Con-
stantinople correspondent expresses the fear
that. though the government desires peace,
IL will be unable 10 control the bellicose
officers He adds that Turgut Pacha, who
commands 5000 troops in Albania, is quite
ready 10 invade Montenegro.

A school savings fund has been in
stituted in the East Waterloo schools.
One of the banks has expended $500 in
devising a system by which the school
children may save small amounts and
furnishing supplies for the schools. The
pupils are furnished stamps and stamp
books. When the books are full they
will be deposited and pass book given
out with the first deposit. The books
must have fifty savings stamps before
presented to the bank for deposit.
Once deposited the money cannot be
withdrawn from the bank unless re-
ceipt is signed by the owner OF the
book and countersigned by the parents
or guardian This plan has been
adopted in many cities and has done
much to inculcate saving habits among

DECLINE OF THE MucKRAkER.

Popular Science Monthly: With one
magazine sold under the hammer for
$4,000, which is understood to have
received hundreds of thousands of dol
lars from sale of stock to its readers;
and three officials of another publica-
ton out on bail after indictment
charging them with fraudulent sale Of
stock; and yet another magazine with.
holding payment of dividend which
had been declared, the honest maya
zine publisher is forced to blush
for the doings OF some Of his
fellows. Stock in several maya
zines has been unloaded on the
public under conditions compared
to which sailing a, mine would seem an
act of righteousness. =
Perhaps there is something con-
tagious in mackraking which dulls the
moral perception. Undertaking articles,
possibly sincere at. the start, long
since degenerated into mere sensa-
tionalism to sell copies; and instead Of
being the great reformers they so
loudly boast, many publishers are
mercenary. Any man or act. however
good, can be presented under condi-
lions fit only to condemn. A scratch
on q silver spoon does not make the
spoon pewter; even man with only
one eye is not blind. 1t is low stan
dard of publishing that caters to a
deprayed public. Editing is understood
to be the art of sensing what the
people want-and giving it to- them;
but this does not excuse a pandering
to an unwholesome mental appetite
anymore than it defends doctor who
would run an opium den
Dishonest methods may prosper for
a time, but sooner or later there comes
the inevitable day Of reckoning

The Ottumwa merchants Saturday
recorded one of the busiest days IN
their history. The trains coming into
the city were crowded with Christmas
shoppers. and every train leaving the
CITY carried crowds loaded down with
Christmas purchasers. Ottumwa is
drawing. larger crowds from the sur
rounding territory every year, because
Ottumwa merchants carry complete
metropolitan lines that meet every de-
mand.
