Ansel and Manning are both out in interviews giving their views on the dispensary. * * The dispensary investigation is still going on, and a number of prominent officials are being brought into it. Truly it begins to look like no one who has been brought into touch with the institution is going to escape. Let the work go j?' on until the workings of the entire system are thoroughly aired. I Peace at Last. The representatives of Russia and Japan at their meeting on Tuesday finally agreed on terms of peace, and the war will now come to a close. The Russians refused to pay indemnity, to surrender interned warships, or to cede the Island of Sakhalin. In fact, it seems that the Japs get the worst of the peace negotiations, for they surrendered some things which they have already won by the word. It was a surprise to the Russians when the representatives of Japan backed down on Tuesday and agreed to Russia's terms. _ Kansas Wheat Crop. Secretary Coburn, of the State agricultural department of Kansas, has made a report on the Kansas wheat crop. He says the total yield in the State is nearly seventy-six million bushels and that it is of excellent quality. anoioTTotnr mPTi siiv the recent I I*Uriaiu ?uu v?v * ?*?v? ^ rains have assured a corn yield of 300,000,000, bushels. The yields are high water marks for Kansas' two principal crops. Placing the Responsibility. A man convicted of murder was allowed by the presiding judge to make a statement before sentence of?death was pronounced against him. Addressing the judge and jury he said: "I began my downward career at a saloon bar legalized and protected by the voters of this town. After the saloons you allowed have made me a drunkard and a murderer, I am taken before another bar, the bar of justice, and now the law power will conduct me to the place of execution, and send me into eternity. I shall appear before another bar?the judgment bar of God?and you, who have legalized the traffic will have to appear with me. "Think you that the Great Judge will hold me, the poor, weak, helpless victim of your traffic, alone responsible for the murder of my wife? Nay, I, in my drunken, frenzied, irresponsible condition have murdered one, but you have deliberately voted for the saloons which have murdered thousands, and they are in full operation today with your consent. "You legalized the saloons that made me a drunkard and a murderer, and you are guilty with me before God and man for the murder of my wife. "Your honor, I am now done. I am now ready to receive my sentence, and be led forth to the place of execution. You will close by calmly asking the Lord to have mercy on my soul. I will close by x solemnly asking God to open your blind eyes to your own individual responsibility, so that you will cease to give your support to this dreadful traffic. Ginnery Burned. (Jenkt, August 29.?Thursday night about eight o'clock, one hour after Messrs Jenny & Loadholt had closed their ginnery for the day, fire broke out in the engine room, the alarm was given and the entire community gathered very quickly, but nothing could be saved, except 18 or 20 bales of cotton that lay around the press. This was rolled away. The loss is about $3,000, consisting of saw mill, grist mill, and ginnery. There was no insurance^ Education Won the Pot. On a warm and sultry day two tramps were playing a game of poker behind a haystack. One of them dealt. "What are you going to bet?" he asked the other. "I've got a pretty good hand, so I'll open the pot for a hundred dollars. "All right. I'll see that and raise you athousand." "Good! I'll make it a billion dollars." "I'll see your billion and just to make it interesting I'll raise you a trillion dollars." "Whew! You must have a good hand. * But I'll stay and go you just a quadrillion Iv' better." "That suits me. I'll make it a quintillion better than yours." The other tramp hesitated and looked at his cards intently. Finally he said: "The pot is yours. You win on education." Strange Sort of Government. The people voted for prohibition iu 1892, and did not get it. They voted foi ? * % biennial sessions three years ago, and il looks like they are not going to get it They are voting for prohibition in several counties now, and the dispensary crowc are calling on the courts to prevent theii getting that. Is this a government of th< people, for the people, by the people? Oj la ; o nrnrommpnt. hvthe whiskev rin?? K ? feV, -j J 0Newberry Observer. Dispenser Henry F.

Rumor of on Attempt to Defeat the Biennial Sessions Meaeure. The Columbia correspondent of the News and Courier writes that paper as follows: "The special commission appointed to consider the biennial sessions matter has not met yet, but a session is expected shortly. It will be remembered that at the last session of the legislature the con stitutional amendments voted on favorably by the people at the last election came up. The judiciary committee of the house, to whom the matter was referred,reported back a number of objections as to a bill passing at that session, and finally it was decided to refer the whole question to a special committee to sit during the recess and report at the next session. "This committee is supposed to solve the various problems connected with the change and to clear away all objection. They are to prepare a bill to be passed by the house and senate that will embody all of these changes, such as reports by State officers, the appropriations, the meeting of special commissions and other matters of this kind. "The bill, however, will come up at a bad time of the session. The next year is political year, and there will be many who will do all they can to prevent the bill from passing either the house or senate, thus defeating the expressed will of the people. The amendment of the constitution is supposed to go into effect in 1907, and the provisions must be made for this change at the next session, or it cannot be made at all. "Just what means could be used to pre vent the passage of the measure is noi known and cannot be even guessed at, but it is certain that there are a number of members who not want the constitutional amendment ratified by the legislature, and for this reason the report and meeting of the special committee will be awaited with interest."

A man who for several years has posessed the entire confidence of the people of Patterson, New Jersey, is now a fugitive from justice. He was Mayor of that city and honored and respected both personally and officially. One of his friends is quoted in the New York Press as follows: In his private life he was most scrupulous; in his family relations he was pure and faithful; in public office he was beyond temptation. How do you explain it? He was all that to me and to the people of Patterson generally. And yet I know now that during these past eight years all thetimethat his reputation stood highest he was a forger and swindler. This man was a frequent visitor to the public schools. Children were attracted to him and he seemed to have a genuine fondness for them. He was neither a smoker nor a drinker. In fact he was to all appearances a paragon of all the virtues. He could borrow money without security. It seemed, indeed, that there were many men anxious to lend to him. Yet this man was swindling poor clients out of small sums all the time. No sum that he could obtain, even to $2, was rejected. Criminologists will find him a ' Tka.o ic nAthinrr must imeiestmg siuuv. luutuuvtmuj, in fiction or in the drama which should be considered impossible after the exploits of the "truly good" man of Patterson.

TTnrto nf PVualmsfrvrd wnj* not only the proprietor of Hope's bank, the owner of three or four factories and the recognized business head of the town, but he was president of three or four societies and charities and of high standing as a church member. Whatever Mr. Thomas Hope said or did was always the correct thing. He and his wife could have existed without Chelmsford, but had they departed for other climes that town would have died?socially. It happened that Mr. Hope bad to j make a trip to Paris in financial in- i terests. He spoke to no one on his way j over. Several strangers dropped remarks to which he could have replied consistently, but he held himself aloof with true British reserve. When Brit-1 ish reserve has money behind it, it Is a stone wall. Mr. Hope might have re- ' plied to an earl or a lord had such a personage addressed him and had he been certain that there was no imposition. The banker shuddered as he look-| ed over the common travelers. Mr. Hope was not impressed with Paris. He had been there before. It was his dutv to Impress Paris instead, and when he departed, after a stay of three or four days, he felt sure that he had done so and was very complacent over it This self complacency served to a certain extent to thaw out his reserve. That is, he deigned to show himself among his fellow passengers on the boat instead of locking himself up in his stateroom, but at the same time he let it be seen that his dignity was not to be trifled with. Suddenly something happened to the great man. A good looking young woman approached him and, addressing him as "My lord," asked the privilege of speech. Never before in his- life had he been addressed by a young woman ?a strange young woman. His dignity would have received a fatal shock had she not used the prefix. His flattered vanity offset the shock. His wife had several times averred that he looked like an earl, and now here was living proof that she was right He put up his eyeglass and gave the young woman a critical glance and Indicated by a cold bow that she might proceed. She had a story to tell. She was an English governess who bad passed the last three years in a Parisian family. As she had great property expectations the family wanted her to marry one of the sons. Because she would not?because she had said that as an English girl she would not marry an enemy of her country?she had been charged with purloining certain articles of Jewelry and driven from the house. The incensed family might even seek her arrest It was a pathetic story, with many embellishments, and Mr. Hope's heart was touched?his British heart. It wasn't touched because the young woman was good looking, but because she had continually addressed him as "My lord" and . had appealed to him as the British lion itself. She wanted Ills ??J t3S?on/*h proiecuou wuik iouuxu?. family might have set the minions of law at work and she might be arrested and haled back to Paris and thrust into a dungeon for years .without trial. Under the protection of "My lord," what officer of the law would dare look twice at her? If they looked many times it would mean war between the two countries. Thomas Hope listened, was flattered, and his Iron bound dignity became as putty. For the first time in twenty years he had some human feeling about him. He came out of his shell and discovered that there were Joints in his backbone. Had that young woman made the mistake of appealing to him as "Mr." or even as "Viscount" her petition would have been ignored, but that little trick of "My lord" worked like a miracle. She should land under his protection, and if interfered with grim war and all Its horrors would burst on the country within two hours. Thanking him over and over again and with tears In her eyes as she repeated her thanks, the young woman returned to her stateroom and made some trifling changes in her attire. Shortly afterward the boat reached Its dock on the English side of the channel. Mr. Hope was ready to rise to the occasion, and the girl walked ashore leaning on his arm. He had a cane in tye other hand, his monocle In his eye, and he walked erect He was the British empire! While the baggage was being inspected there was a delay?that is, others were delayed. As for Mr. Hope and the young woman hanging on his arm, they walked up to a customs Inspector. A card was produced and thrust Into his hand, along with a Bank of England note, and there was no Inspection of the woman's four trunks. It never occurred to "My lord" that a girl flying from enemies would hardly have four great trunks along with her. He saw 4hem loaded into a van which was suspiciously convenient and was about to hand his protegee Into a cab and resume his Interrupted dignity when they were approached by a common looking British subject with what looked like a warrant in his hand. "Excuse me, please"? be had begun when Mr. Hope interrupted him with: "Sir, are you addressing me?' "T-yes, sir. I have here a warrant for the arrest of? "A warrant sir?' "Yes, sir. A warrant fof? "What have I to do with you and your wammta, tlrT" thundered Mr. Hope. "But I"That is enough, sir! There if my card. I will communicate with the government at once regarding this outrage. I will see whether British dtieena must snhmlt to such humiliation while traveling about In a peaceful manner." "But may I ask, sir"? *rsisted the officer as he nodded his head toward the young woman. j "Too may, sir," replied Mr. Hope, rising to the occasion. "This young lady Is my daughter, sir!" "Then I beg a thousand pardons?a thousand pardons, sir," said the abashed officer. v The cab dfove off. Mr. Hope raised bis bat In answer to the smile and the "God bless you," and be never, never again saw the distressed English governess who had been obliged to dee from the enemies of her country. He resumed his dignity and boarded a train for home, and to make up for having temporarily thawed out he greeted Mrs. Hope with a grout as he arrived. Three days later a man who would not be denied bad an interview witti him In his private sanctum at the bank. Hie great Mr. Hope met j^m with a glare and a frown and bega* to read him a lesson on his Impudence in interrupting business men when they were engaged In financiering the gov ernment of Great Britain. But at the end of a very brief quarter of an hour the banker was a much humbled man. He learned that he had assisted a noted character to escape with four trunks full of plunder from a daring Paris robbery and that he had lied to do it. Not only did the breath of scandal menace his name, but the law was after him In several directions. Even being Mr. Hope of Chelmsford would not save him. Mr. Hope had to go up to London, accompanied by his solicitors. He had to tell his story to police officials and others and submit to criticism. He had to advertise a reward for the capture of the young woman, and he had to sign statements and affidavits until he was tired of them. Being the great Mr. Hope he managed to get his neck out of the noose after much bother, but the authorities did not succeed in arresting his "daughter." Aaawerins tbe Emperor. The following story of Kaiser William II. and one of his generals Is told by a biographer of the German emperor: At a review in Berlin tbe kaiser Impatiently reprimanded old General von Meerscbeldt for losing his wits at a critical moment "If your majesty thinks I am getting too old, I beg of you to allow me to resign." "No, no," replied the emperor. "You are too young to resign. Indeed If your blood dldnt course through your veins quite so fast you would be a more useful army leader." On the evening of that day the kaiser and the general met at a court ball. The general was talking to some young ladies. "Ah, Meerscbeldt" cried the emperor, "that Is right Get ready to marry. Take a young wife, then that excitable temperament of yours will soon vanish." The, general bowed low as he retorted: "I beg to be excused, your majesty. A young emperor and . a young wife would be more than I could possibly stand." WW Voachi a M. Russell, the western painter, tells an amusing story of a bear fight which be thinks is funnier than any humorous sketch he has ever seen portrayed on a vaudeville stage. He had been out with a guide all day, and toward evening they saw far down the road two bears sauntering along quite oblivious of the presence of human beings, as the wind was in the wrong direction. Bussell and his guide quickly jumped behind a small thicket, and when the bears were within shooting distance the painter let fly and struck one of them fair in the side. The shot stunned the sntmal for a moment, and he was under the impression that his mate had struck him a terrific blow when he was not looking. As there appeared to be no reason for this chastisement he proceeded to retaliate by attacking the other bear. About this time the guide took a shot at the assaulted animal, with the result that the brute was Infuriated and imagined he had been struck with undue force by his comrade. Upon this the two bears set to and had a terrific fight-Success Magazine. A Close Bargain. The reputation held by Mr. Cobb of Canby for nviinng the closest bargains of any man In the region was sustained during the summer by his dealings with several of his neighbors from the city. "Mr. Cobb," said one of these neighbors whose orchard was in need of pruning, "the man says he must have a longer ladder than mine, for when he's finished the orchard I want him to -*?1?
