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

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.

Russian-Japanese War ami j
Peace Talk.
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

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.

CHINESE RETALIATION.
WW Not Buy American Goods.
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

Confederate Reunion.
The old Confederate veterans have
nil returned from the reunion at
Louisville, Ky. 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." Sold, under
