A Robbery Committed in I Brood Open Daylight. The very moment it was decided to have a Floral Festival, I began at once to decorate the most expensive and beautiful single scat bug- ( gy that was in the parade Friday ( evening, it was handsomely decorated with sugar sacks and beautiful Ixjws of cheese cloth, making it very expensive. And I was driving a $1,000 thoroughbred animal with a set of harness that cost $100 dec orated l>eautifully with cotton rope and twine strings. Every one that j saw it said it was the prettiest turn- j out in the parade and deserved the , prize; but unfortunately for me those partial judges wouldn't give it to me and they knew it was justly won. The prize that I should , l?ve had was given to the one that selected the judgps, and as long as one or more of flic competitors arc allowed to scleot the judges there will always be dissatisfaction atxmt the prize. I, the one to whom the prize should Jiavc been given got nothing. U It had been left to the . public who prould have gotten the ; prize? I bepeve in being fair and sticking upf* for what is right and this is the reason that I am writing about the unfairness. I am sorely hurt at the outlandish treatment 1 received at the hands of those par* tial judges, they knew at the time who received the most applause and if they had been just judges, seeing that the entire crowd was in my fa 1.1 i 1-J ? yui khvj TTuuiu iiavu tiwiinicu lilt: the flrtet prize. Though unfortunately for me, by nature I am a very timid man, I was too timid to ask any one to side with me, so I had to side by myself which was very embarrassing for one of my nature, knowing all the time that 1 had the prettiest "rig" I could not help from feeling cmbarassed having.made such costly and elaborate preparations for this celebrated occasion, although tempted, but being as I have said, of a modest and retiring disposition, I retrain from making public the outlandish treatment I received at the hands of this partial committee. Through the unanimous solicitation of my friends, I desire to make known and publish to the world the miserable miscarriage of Hi slice that was perpetrated on this magnificent occasion. Hoping to serve you again when the occasion presents itself. I am With beat wishes, G. M. Foster. Suits. I jars. I EH Bm K? 2.00. I BR? ?, Km 1 KtI lag i Rn| otS eQ SB hem. I!

Up to this time there lias been j no definite understanding as to < whether there will be a cessation of ] fighting between the two armies during the peace conference. President Roosevelt has not yet volunteered any advice along this line of action or policy. The officers of , both armies arc anxious that a de- i eisive land battle be fought before 1 iH'ginning the peace conference. 1 Washington, D. C., has been agreed ] upon by both parties as the place for the holding of the peace con- ; fercncc and August 1st is the day fixed for the meeting. All of the 1 plenipotentiaries have been selected and President Roosevelt asked to sit with them. The language in which the conference is to be held will l>e English. Oyama, commander and field marshal of the Japanese army has his troops so nlaeed fn almna) unr*Ann<] !??* I a ? ww nua avium viiu Russian army north of Mukden 1 tind is prepared to deal a crushing blow to the Russian army. The position held by Oyama's army as 1 described seems to make it impossi- 1 ble for the Russian army to escape, 1 and unless an armistice be agreed j upon a few days will tell the awful tale of a terrible battle. If the battle result in such a decisive victory as planned by Oyama nothing will be left to Russia but to capitu- ' late and accept whatever Japan offers. The Russian soldiers have been almost in a state of rebellion and refuse to remain in the army since the defeat of their navy by Togo. So it will be hard for Linevitch to put up anything like a good fight with such unwilling soldiers. It would seem that Japan in announcing that she would be ready for a peace conference August 1st, put off the meeting a sufficient length of time to kTVc Ovamn his onnnrtnnitv to fight his much desired decisive battle and capture Vladivostok, the latter from the land side aided by the navy on the water side.

Within a few months the Chinese issue in the United States lias ceased to lie one-sided. News came from Shanghai a while ago that the merchants in that great port of eastern China had decided in a mass meeting to boycott American goods hereafter, as a protest against the treatment of Chinese; merchants in America. A day or two later a report of a similar meeting of boycott at Canton, in southern China, came across the sea, and it was announced that the merchants of Tientsin, in northern China, were organizing for the same purpose. About the same time a Chinese merchanthvCleveland, Ohio, said that the Chinese minister in Washington had instructed the Chinese in this country to organize to protect their treaty rights. So far as the views of the Chinese ure known, the rights which they now insist on are those which .the citizens of the most favored nations enjoy in this country. The treaty i?f 1880 guaranteed equality with L>ther foreigners to Chinese students, teaehers, merchants and travellers, and to laborers already in the United States. By the treaty of 1894 China consented that wc might for ten years prohibit the entrance of Chinese laborers. The treaty expired last December and has not been renewed. The earlier treaty permitted the United States to "regulate, limit or suspend" the immigration of laborers, but not to prohibit it. Congress, however, in 1882, acting under the "suspension" clause of the treaty, prohibited the immigration of laborers for ten years, made the law more rigid in 1888, extended it for ten years in 1892, and in 1902 again extended it for ten years, with additional restrictions. The Chinese merchants now seem to desire to come and go as freely as the merchants of other nations, and their home government is backing them. The rigid laws under which they suffer inconvenience were passed oecausc the Chinese la" borers delibcralcly evaded the less rigid statutes. She apparently unfair treatment of merchants and students has arisen out of the habit of the lnlwrers to represent themselves as belonging to the more privileged class, and thus to evade the law and get into the country. The government in Washington will doubtless cooperate with the Chinese minister in devising some plan which will make it possible successfully to discriminate between the laborers and those to whom the treaties expressly guarantee all the privileges enjoyed by other foreigners. ?Youth's Companion .

They report the best time that they have ever had at a reunion. The next meeting will lie held in New Orleans. We are indebted to Capt. F. M. Farr for a copy of the Louisville CourierJournal which contains tho whole proceedings of the reunion of Confederate veterans and illustrations. We regret that we cannot reproduce it in Tiib Timks, but it is too big a thing for a county weekly paper to handle. Suffice it to say that the reunion was a grand and glorious success, ana the oia vets were royally treated. Furious Fighting. "For seven years," writes Geo. W. Hoffman, of Harper, Wash., "I had a bitter battle, with chronic stomach and liver trouble, but at last I won, and cured my diseases, by the use of Electric Bitters. I unhesitatingly recommended them to all, and don't Intend in the future to be without them in the house. They are certainly? a wonderful medicine, to have cured such a bad case as mine."
