Frank Sienlans, city comptroller of
st. Joseph, Mo, on watch to increase
the revenues of that city, has sub
Initted an ordinance to the City Coun-
Gil directing the investment of munich
pal funds appropriated to retire bonds
issued some fifty years ago, in Liberty
Bonds at current market prices. A
small part of these old bond issues
still have been unredeemed by the
bondholders and at present the city
is drawing per cent on the money
held to meet them.
In submitting the ordinance, Mr..
Siemans stated that with the sum at
his disposal from this source, $3.50,
he could purchase $4,450 worth of Lib
erty Bonds bearing Az per cent in

maturity this investment would yield
the city an additional sum of $780,

and the wish that God may bless
and protect you all believe me dear
est Nicky as always, your most af-

WILLY"
Two world events of tremendous
Importance are reflected in the let
tiers from the German kaiser to the
Russian car published today. The
first, dated June 8, 1905, shows the
kaiser advising -"Nicky" to make the
best of bad job and conclude peace
with Japan. The kaiser proposes
President Roosevelt as mediator. The
second comes Immediately after the
visit of the kaiser to Bjoerko, a his
toric island in the Malar sea off
the coast of Sweden, where the car
signed the secret treaty with the
kaiser and the latter felt that he
had completed a great step in fash
ioning the new "groupment" that was
to include practically all the powers
except Great Britain.
In the first case the kaiser wrote
Nicholas Immediately after the Rus
Sian fleet was disastrously defeated
in the straits of Korea by Admiral
Togo on May 27-28. The kaiser sd w
no hope for Russia's eXtricating her
self after her military and naval
blunders. The kaiser's letter is
dated June 8. At that time Presi-
dent Roosevelt had already acted. On
June 1 he conferred with the JAP
anese minister, Takahra, at the White
Houte on the possibility of opening
negotiations for peace. On June 2.
he conferred with the, Russian am
ba ssadors Count Cassini. On June
Z President Roosevelt sent an identj-
cal note to both Russia and Japan,
proposing the opening of peace nego-
citations. This was accepted on June
10 and the conference at Portsmouth
began August 8.
President Roosevelt says Of the
peace negotiations between Russia
and Japan in his autobiograp
During the course of the negotia-
tions 1 tried to enlist the aid of the
governments of one nation which was
friendly to Russia, and of another
nation which was friendly with ia
pan in helping bring about peace
I got no aid from either. I did, how
ever, receive aid from the emperor
OF Germany. His ambassador at ST.
Petersburg was the one ambassador
who helped the American ambassa-
dor, Mr.. Meyer, at delicate and
doubtful points of the negotiations.
Mr.. Meyer rendered literally
invaluable aid by insisting upon him

cessfully through the representatives
of the car, who were often at cross
purposes with one another"
The signing of the secret treaty by
the car was Williams master
stroke. 1t meant the building up of
a series of alliances to offset Great
Britain. Both the car and William
were defeated by Sergius White.
Witte caused the car to repudiate
the treaty. The cars weak char
acter had given William his oppor-
tunity, but also had lost the game
for him. Once turned aside Russia
f1oated into the British orbit. Nicho-
last was an autocrat. but events
proved that even autocracy cannot
save a ruler who is not master of
himself.
The letters were copied in the
archives of the Soviet government
at Moscow by Isaac Don Levine. staff
correspondent of the Daily News.
Time for Peace Has Come
Berlin, June 3, 19O5.-Dearest
Nicky: The kind lines which you
entrusted to Micha's care and were
given me yesterday have deeply
touched me. The memorable events
you allude to are all clearly graved
in my memory, and remind me how
the years have gone by and how oft
en- since long we two have been
brought into personal relations. The
natural consequence of this is firm
feeling of mutual friendship that de.
veloped between us both based on a
perfect understanding of each other
These relations have flourisheo
through the long years for the well
rare of our countries, to rule which
we have been called upon by provi-
dence. They We're, and I hope will
continue, to be guarantees of peace
and welfare for the two countries
as well as for the world. I well
remember the moment in the church
OF. the winter palais when you took
your oath on the glorious tatters of
the old Cossack standard, amid the
brea thless silence of an enormous
audience of Industrious people! How
moved your dear father was when
ne kissed you after the ceremony
How long ago that is! Now Won are

flcult phases Of it's development.

Federal Reserve Bank
Officials See Lowering
OF Present rice Levels

WASHINGTON, April Nation
wide reports from federal reserve
bank officials, made public Wednes-
day, disclose their opinion that the
postwar era of "extravagan and
reckless buying" by the people is
nearing it's end.
"A hesitation, If not an actual ce.-
sation'' of prices is noted, and the
reserve boards statement
summarizes it's advices as indicating
a. generally more hopeful view
the country's business conditic ]
than for several mont
While the price changes were
shown by the board not to be uni
versa1, they were nevertheless re-
earded as positive and Of importa re
as basis for reckoning what the
immediate future holds.
Relief from the high prices for
the consumer will not be completely
obtained until present stocks are alb
sorbed in practically all lines, ac-
cording to the boards view. Man
ufacturers everywhere, however,
were shown to hold the view that
the peak of high prices has been
reached an dto expect a gradual re-
cession.
In the clothing trade, particularly,
the board said there was a marked
tendency Of the public to make old
supplies last longer and to refuse
to pay exorbitant prices. This
phase can mean only that an awak-
ening has come, the statement said,
| and that many people have arrived
at the conclusion that they are
themselves responsible for a con-
tinuing high range of prices.

Milk Maid Quits
Cows to Elope in
Ford With Lover

Up in Hall county three lonely
COWS stand in the family barn, moo
ing vainly for some one to come and
milk them. Outside in the yard,
two shiny tin pals lie where they
were tossed into the mud. Beside
them is the LITTLE three-legged stool,
deserted.
For Bessie, the milkmaid, is mar
ried now and never again, so she
told her husband in Atlanta Tues
day morning, will she milk a cow or
feed a pig. To which he answered,
tenderly, I'll say you won't, honey!
We don't care if them COWS amt
milk till Judgment day, do we?"
And Bessie, the milkmaid, admitted
she didn't care.
1t all happened between sunup and
noon Thursday.
Bessie--her full name was Miss
Bessie Norrel, she is eighteen years
old, black-eyed. brown-haired and
red-lipped and she lived with her
folks four miles out of Gainesville
on r. F. D. number four-rose with
the sun Thursday morning.
She donned her blue bingham
gown, her silken boudoir cap, her
shoes and her red velvet coat, trim
med with real fox fur. She slung
the pals over her right arm; she
took the threelegged stool in her
left hand, and from the Norrel home
she set out for the barn.
Tripping onward through the dew
Or possibly, the red clay-she en-
countered rushing toward her, not

should have been-but Henry Ford,

just past twenty-one and in love with
life, also Bessie.
Where are you going, my pretty
maid?' asked William, or words to
that effect.
W'm going a-milking, sir" she
said.
Where are you going?"
ITO Atlanta" answered William,
land you're going with me. Aw
come on, Bess! I've got the license
in my pocket-bought it a week ago
at the courthouse in Atlanta-and
there amt a bit of use for us to
wait any longer. Let the old COWS
go and be Mrs. Latimerv'
Soft happened that, after pushing

Gainesville, Bessie and William

ninal station at 9 o'clock Thursday
morning and bumped into Mrs. Payne,
the Travellers Aid agent, whose
duty it is to keep a watchful eye
out for people in trouble, also lit
tie girls in bingham gowns who look
as if they were running away or
being run away with.
But when William and Bessie were
taken to the police station, and when
William exhibited the marriage
license, everything was lovely again,
and before Justice of the Peace A.
A. Owens, in his Office opposite the
courthouse, they were made man and
wife, and left, shortly thereafter, for

that it could be managed, that the

them, perhaps beginning with a rep

the hearers know what he has de-
cided about the army-in case he
thinks it possible or necessary to
90 out himself-to tell them and to
eXhort them to abstain from all in
ternal quarrels till the enemy is
routed. After this the Ear 'entoure'
by the clergy with banners and cross

out in the balcony and Read out the

pie will be deeply touched and
cheer you and fall ON their knees
and pray for you. The Ears popu-

would gain his peoples sympathy
