London, Aug. 4.-The British goS.
ernment is irritated over what it be-

over the British suggestion that the
Russians halt at the armistice line OF
demareation in Poland and begin
peace negotiations. 1t has dispatched
a sharp note to the soviet government
demanding yes or no answer as to
whether that government intends to
listen to the suggestion.
The note, it is reported, contains no
threats and is not in the nature of an
ultimatum, simply requesting a quick
answer as to what soviet Russia in
tends to do.
An unconfirmed report today said
that both the British and French mis-
sions had left the Polish capital.
Allied Subjects Threatened.
Allenstein, East Prussia. Aug. 81
Threats by the Russian soviet forces to
execute instantly any civil or military
subjects of the allied powers who cross
the frontier are reported by refugees
arriving here from the region to tie
east being occupied by the Russians.
This has caused the inter-allied COM
mission in this district to announce
that no person will for any reason be
permitted to enter the Russian-con-
'troIled zone.
These refugees declare that the boil
shevih are shooting all land owners
and property holders and others sus-
Ipected of having money. The wearing
of white collar, they assert. Is suffl-
lcient evidence for death warrant.
Officials of the inter-allied comm's'
sion declare that the majority of these
reports are supported by circumstan'
Ices indicating their truth.

WHOLE FAMILY KILLED BY GAS.

An entire family, father, mother,

found dead in their home in Monroe
one day last week.
The dead were Henry Butts, % years
old, his wife, two sons, aged years
and eighteen months, and Otto Pohl,
a brother of the Mrs Butts.
1t is believed that they had been
dead week The family had just
moved to Monroe from a farm. Dis
covery Of the tragedy came when a
nephew Of Mrs. Butts called at the
home. Entering the rear door which
was unlocked, he found the entire
family dead in an upper room
A fire was started in the furnace,
probably within a short time after the
family moved into the house. This ia
believed to have caused the deaths.
Coal gas filled the rooms when the
bodies were discovered.
Furniture was standing where il
had been placed by the movers when
corpses were found.
Nieghbors had noticed that there
was no activity about the house since
the family bad moved there.
The dead man lived on a farm sis

THIS CANDIDATE GOOD LOSER
Defeated in Battle of Ballots He
Showed Himself Worthy OF His
Opponents Respect.

The world admires gameness and
respects the man who can be cheerful
in defeat
Regardless of the character of the
goal sought, whether il be physical
material or political. the fellow who
valiantly strives for it and fights his
best, if only to fan short in attain
ment is entitled to, and is sure to re-
ceive, his share of the plaudts, proyid.
ed he accepts philosophcaly and
maintains a cheerful attitude toward
the victor and the world.
Especially is this true of political
contests,
For example, an unsuccessful candi-
date for office i'm one of our western
states sums mp whar his campaign cost
him and what he got out of 1t as he
went along as follows:
Lost 1,349 hours of sleep thinking
about the election. Lost two front
teeth and whole lot of hair i'm q
personal encounter with an opponent
Donated one beef, four shoats and five
sheep to country barbecue. Gave
away two pairs of suspenderS. -four
calico dresses, s. cash and IS baby rat
tiers. Kissed 1876 babies Kindled IA
kitchen fires. Put mp four stoves
Walked 4,076 miles. Shook hands
with 9,50S persons. Told l0102 lies
and talked enough to make in print
1000 volumes. Attended IS revival
meetings and was baptized four times
by immersion and twice some other
way. Contributed $50 to foreign mis-,
sions, and made love to nine grass Wild
ows. Rugged 10 old maids. Got dog
bit 30 times and WAS defeated
And after it was all over-even the
shouting" Of the victorious side-thiS
man was cheerful and happy, and
though disappointed figured that he
was ahead of the game.
In an election conducted according to
the democratic principle of majority
rule. the results are invariably and es-
sequally uncertain until after the votes
are counted
The thing to guard against is taking
the result Of a battle of ballots toe
seriously And the heaten candidate
is wisest who applies the philosophy
of Or. Johnson: Think, sir, what
a trining matter this will appear tC
you q l2-month hence and who thus
proves himself to be good loser

length precludes any comment this
week and we hope all will read and
Judge it for themselves.
Postoflice figures show how much
the noisiest of the disunion states con-
tribute towards the support of the
government. There is not one of these
states which pays as much revenue into
the treasury on importations as it costs
the government 10 collect it.
