NOGI PREDICTED PRES
 ENT WAR YEARS AGO

LONDON, Sept. 10.-General No gi's prediction, made at the siege of Port Arthur, is still fresh in the minds of Englishmen in connection with the terrible fighting near the old Waterloo field. General Nogi said:
 "I believe that the world will witness great war which will have all Europe for its battle-ground, and will settle the Franco-Prussian ques- ton and the Anglo-German rivalry France and Germany will meet in this last decisive conflict on the Belgium plains probably near Water loo. the only spot which will permit of the evolution of the great armies which will face each other. At the present time the French and Ger man frontiers arc too strongly for tified for either people to force their way through. I have little doubt as to the result of this war. France will beat Germany on land and England will crush Germany at sea.
 This will be the last great war in Europe for many years, perhaps for ever. The German states will emerge from this war so exhausted and so terrified that they will have no other object than to form some sort of condition that they may in the future obviate the recurrence of any such catastrophe"
 Prayers have been offered in some churches specifically asking that the prediction of the Japanese strategist be realized.
 Reducing Letters.
 It is the purpose of the War Of- flee to reduce letters from soldiers to sweethearts and friends to mere formal statements as far as possi- ble and slips have been prepared which soldiers are urged to use in communicatinp with those at home. These are tabular statements as to the health of the writer and his general condition. By mere scratch of leadpencil a soldier can indicate whether he is well or i'll. If i'll he may by another mark in dicate how serious his illness is.
 No statement as to the locality in which the letter is written will be tolerated, the trooper merely being permitted to mention his army corps.
 Painting Their Horses
 It Is reported that the Russian Cossacks have painted all their white and gray horses green, mak ing them harmonize with the foli- age so their movements cannot be seen by scouting aeroplanes. This plan was first adopted by the Brit ish in the struggle with the Boers.

CENTIPEDE BITE SERI-
 GUS TO MINER
(From Wednesdays Daily.)


 Pointer Wilton, a miner formerly .of the McCabe country, but now located south of Yucca, in Mohave county, was bitten by centipede la short time ago, and his injuries were considered so serious that he was taken to Los Angeles for medi- cal attention. Wilton informed friends he was taking some four from a sack that was standing in "a corner of the room, using one hand in the sack and the other to keep the sack open. The venom ous reptile lodged on his wrist, sinking its claws into the flesh of the arm and hand in hundreds of plac- es. Wilton stated it required an effort to dislodge the centipede, it being finally necessary to grasp a knife and cut it in two. It measur- ed nine inches in length. The only remedy on hand was vinegar and salt, with which he freely bathed the wound. The pain was excru- ciating, and in a few hours the arm began to swell, reaching three times its normal size by the next morn ing.
 Wilton has group of claims near Artillery Peak, and his brother was with him at the time of the misfor- tune. His condition was slightly according to the last re- port from Los Angeles, but he is said to be a very sick man.

TRIES TO KILL HER
 FORMER HUSBAND

KINGMAN, Ariz., Sept. l0.-Mrs. Lillian Augustine was brought in from the Big Sand country and lodged in the county jail, and on the same automobile R. L. Gray, ranch owner of the Big Sandy, and former husband of the woman, was brought to town for surgical treatment for three dangerous pistol wounds in the shoulder and neck, inflicted by the woman.
 It would appear that the shooting resulted in the failure of Mrs. Angus .ine 70 get possession of two or three minor children. When the couple were divorced several years ago Grey was given absolute control of the children and it is understood that 1t was with the intention of starting something that Mrs. Aug ustine and her husband went to the Sandy a week ago. Grey became aware of the intent of the couple, so it IS said, and warned Augustine to get out or something might happen. Augustine came to Kingman and the woman stayed at the ranch. Just how the woman got worked up to attempt the life of the man who was the father of her children, has not been learned, but 1t is known that she fired five shots at him with an automatic pistol at close range. Three of the shots struck Gray in the right shoulder and neck. the shots being all in radius Of three inches showing that she was shooting to kill. It is the impress sion of Dr. Butcher. that nothing serious will come of the injuries un- less infection sets in.

 TONED FOR Is DAYS
(From Saturdays Daiiy.J


 Concurring action by the attor- neys in the case and Judge Frank O. Smith, of the Superior Court, has resulted in the postponement of the trial of Frank Malloy upon a charge of murder, rom Septem- Der IA until September 25, as noted in the Journal-Miner yesterday. The original calendar called for Nal Joys arraignment on September To-, and when brought before the bar on that date, the county attorney asked for an extended postponement of the action, pointing out that two Of the states most important wit nesses were in Humboldt County, California and that an effort was be- ing made to procure them to testi- fly. One of these witnesses is said to have been the man who pulled Malloy away from his victim after he had inflicted the fatal stab wounds with a long knife. The two witness es escaped the state before the of fcers could apprehend them.
 The county attorney originally re- quested a postponement of two months, but the defense counsel, An derson and Lamson. objected. Ac- cordingly, compromise of fifteen days was arrived at, Judge Smith readily concurring in this action.
 Malloy is charged with having stabbed to death O. A. Swinney in a Jerome saloon brawl recently. Swinncy succumbed to his injuries two days after the assault

FAMILY TROUBLE REACH
 ES THE CLIMAX
(From Fridays Daily.)

Domestic troubles in the home of
 Mir and Mrs. Jean Eads reached a
 sensational climax on "Wednesday afternoon when the father attempted
 to leave the country with his little daughter and was arrested at Ash
 Fork by Sheriff Keeler, on a com plaint issued from the County At torney's office. The father and daughter were returned to Prescott Thursday morning and the former was given his freedom.
 Eads, in leaving Prescott, adopt ed the well laid plan to con ceal his movements and accomplish his purpose by using an auto from Prescott and going to creme June ton, where he boarded the train. He had ticket for Joplin, Missouri, and a small sum of money, when taken into custody at Ash Fork. He displayed very much surprise as well as anger at being intercepted by of iicers and prevented from carrying out his purpose.
 Leading up to this escapade, it is stated, Eads went to the home of Mrs. Morris Goldwater where his child was in her custody during the absence in California of Mrs. Eads, stating that he would take her out for a walk. Permission was given, but after prolonged absence sus- picion was aroused over the child not returning. It was then learned that Eads had acted designedly, and in a short time after the train had left Prccott for the north, the we'll founded belief was verified. The child is but two years old, it is said.
 Eads gave his version of the affair as follows:
 q was going east with my daugh ter to place her in the care of my mother at Joplin, Missouri My req son for so doing was that her mother had been in California for the past month and I had every reason to believe she contemplated remaining away for the next month. Mrs. Eads left me at Camp Verde about the first of August, since which time I have been paying for the main tenance fthe child. Accordingly felt justified in placing the child in the custody of any one I deemed proper and decided to take her to the home of my mother. Another of the motives in taking my daughter away from Prescott was that l learned Mrs. Goldwater intended to leave soon and be away for the winter"

 Its an i'll wind that blows no body good" said George Thomp- son, a recent arrival from Califor- mia, who comes direct from Mo have county to secure fertilizing ma terial for the market from the sheep ranges of this county. -
 Thompson seems alert, to the sit uation created by the war in Flu rope, and states that potash, the base of this desirable commodity, Is manufactured in Germany, and that the gates are shut so far as importations for the future are con cerned. Anyway" says the visit or, "the supply on the Yavapai ranges is adequate, and war or no war, the California orange lands will not be lacking this essential to propagate the golden fruit" M-. Thompson IS making calculations concerning the supply required and the probable tonnage available. At least a dozen trains Of ten cars each, he says will be necessary, and adds that this amount can easi- ly be procured. He will roundup the product which is the most con venient to railroad facilities and ship to the communities listed.
 "The high quality of the American orange must be maintained, and as Germany is out of the game with the material necessary, the half mil lion sheep of Yavapai will fill a long felt want" were his closing remarks.

 Such was the beautiful sentiment of Mrs. Rose Krebbs, the Republi- can nominee for State Superinten- dent of Public Instruction, as ex- pressed few days ago at her home in Tucson, in launching her cam paaign for this office. In the Tue son Citizen of recent date, she re ferred to her candidacy by saying:
 "Why shouldn't a woman hold such an office as state superinten- dent of public instruction? l have children going to school, and while I believe that Arizona has one of the best public school systems in the world, I believe that there arc certain features sadly neglected. The building up of the body of the child is equally important with the dc velopment of the mental. We must have play ground teachers who can give ten minutes once or twice a week in each school in city like Tucson. to teaching the children how to breathe properly, how to build up their bodies so that they will be big enough and strong enough to take hold of the big things in life; quick brain IS sell dom found in a sluggish body. If the girl of today is to become the mother of the next generation, she must be trained not only mentally but physically and morally.
 q am going to appeal to the mother and the father of every school child in Arizona; want their vote irrespective of politics. There is no influence on a nation so strong as that of the mother; it must be so; then why shouldn't a woman hold a position that has to do with the proper training of the child?
 Industrial education? Yes, I be- lieve in it thoroughly. Prepare the child for her or his future work There is much to be said along this line and l am going to say more about it during this campaign"
