PEACE ENVOYS MEET
Russian and Japanese Representa-
tives Clasped Hands
OYSTER BAY: History was made
Saturday in Oyster Bay. Russians
and Japanese clasped hands and
greeted each other with all outward
evidence of cordiality since nations
began to have relations one with an-
other. An executive of a great power
received the envoys of the two
belligerent countries on a mission of
peace.
President Roosevelt, on behalf of
the United States and its people, ex-
tended formal greetings to the rep-
resentatives of Russia and Japan, in-
troduced the plenipotentiaries to one
another and entertained them at an
elaborate luncheon, after which Rus-
sians and Japanese fraternized as
comrades rather than as enemies.
During the luncheon President
Roosevelt proposed a notable toast,
in which he expressed the "earnest
hope and prayer, in the interest not
only of. these two great powers, but
of civilized mankind, that a just ar.d
lasting peace may speedily be con-
cluded between them."
The occasion was impressive. It
•was attended not by pomp and ccre-
mony, but by a simplicity and frank-
ness characteristic of the president
and the people of America. Due hon-
or was paid to the distinguished
guests of the president and of the
country, and they were treated with
all the dignity to which their ex-
alted rank entitles them.

power of attorney, on a blank for that
purpose provided by the Commis-
sioner. No person will be permitted
to act as agent for more than one sol-
dier or sailor, and no one will be

in any other than his true name.

| the project for a new popular repre-
sentative assembly, an innovation to
j the Russian political system is of
greater importance than the emanci-
pation cf the peasantry or the estab-
lishment of the zemsvo in the '00s,
now undergoing final revision, and
its completion and promulgation are

; The emperor, it is well known, is
in hopes of signalizing the first birth-
day anniversary of the heir apparent

pushed the work of revision as fast
as it was possible, in order that it
might be finished before August 12.
The nature of the future assembly
cannot be stated with exactness un-
til the labors of the commission are
finished and Emperor Nicholas sets
the seal of his approval on the work.
But it is understood that the coun-
cilors thus far have recommended no

Niagara Falls. August 7:—The
volume of water being diverted
from the historic Niagara Falls is
reaching such proportions that the
people of the State are trying to pass
laws which will prevent the possibil-
ity of a practical wiping out of this
sublime natural spectacle.
Water sufficient to develop nearly
five hundred thousand horse-power
:ontinuously, twenty-four hours per
day, for industrial purposes, is now
being taken from the river above the
Falls, and further developments re-
quiring more water are contemplated.
Probably the largest user of the
electricity produced by the waters of
the mighty river is the concern which
by the five or six thousand degree
heat of the electric furnace brings
lime and coke into unwilling union,
thereby producing what is known as
Calcium Carbide.
Dry calcium carbide Is lifeless as
so much broken rock, but in contact
with water it springs into activity and
begets abundantly the gas Acetylene.
The light resulting from the ignition
of acetylene is the nearest approach
to sunlight known.
These facts, though of compara-
tively recent discovery, were soon
seized by men with an eye to the com-
mercial possibilities and to-day cal-
cium carbide is being shipped every-
where and used for dispelling dark-
ness in buildings of all descriptions,
from the ordinary barn of the farmer
to the country villa of the wealthy, as
well as for lighting the streets of a
large number of towns. Acetylene
can be easily and cheaply installed,
and the manufacture and sale of
acetylene generators has become a
business of recognized standing, has
assumed large proportions and is
steadily growing.
| Took Officials Two Months to Know
Funds Were Protected
TOPEKA: The state doesn't stand
[ to lose a cent of the $547,000 which
H has tied up in the defunct First Na-
tional bank of Topeka. The discov-
ery has been made that the United
States Guaranty and Fidelity bond of
$250,000, given to secure state fun(*.i
in that bank, had been renewed on
January 20 last, for a year, and covers
the money which had been depos'tel
in the bank. This, with the 50 par
cent dividend which Reeciver Bradley
says the bank will pay soon, will en-
able the state to get every cent due
:t.
At the time of the failure cf th^
bank, the records at the stato home
were searched. No record of the
bank having renewed its old bond of
$250,000 could be found. The oil
bond expired on Januiry 20. Had it
not been renewed the state would
have had no protection now. It was
thought the bond had never been re-
newed. But the receiver of the bank,
in going through the records of the
institution, has found the renewal cer-
tificate and the rece pt for $025, paid
by the bank for the bond.

COAL STRIKE THREATENED
Miners at Lehigh Think They Have
Just Cause to Quit
LEHIGH: For seyeral days the
miners in the new mine, No. 8, of the
Western Coal and Mining company
have been threatening to go on a
strike on account of changing the
size of the soreen. Tha miners
heretofore have been receiving pay
for screened coal at the rate of ninety
cents per ton, or run of the mine at
seventy-nine cents. The superinten-
dent of the mines discovered a few
days ago that the screen in use would
not screen the coal as it should be,
and changed it somewhat. The
miners objected to the change made,
and many of them have refused to
work. It is hoped, however, that the
dispute may be adjustel within a
few days.

KIDNAPPED A SQUAW
A Dental Treasurer Trove
"I know where I could go, right
here in this country, and dig up mil-
lions of dollars' worth of treasure,"
said a dentist.
"Where would 1 go? To our ceme-
teries. To the mouths of our deal.
In the teeth of our dead enough gold
is going to waste to enrich a small
town.
"You have in your teeth $10 in gold.
Your sister has $5. Your father and
mother each have $7. And there are
ninety million people in America.
"Allow to each person's tee'h a
half dollar's worth of gold. You have
then forty-five million do lars hidden
in our mouths. When we die this
gold won't be extracted. It will bs
buried with us.
"To take the gold from the teeth of
the dead before burial would be
neither difficult nor gruesome. It
would be a good idea to pass a law
requiring that all- this gold, which
does no good in the grave, to be re-
moved after death and distributed in
charity."
To Stop Crowing
Portsmouth, England, has pished
an ordinance for the suppression of
cock crowing. The chicken fane ers
say it cannot be suppressed, but the
London News say that a partial rem-
edy consists in placing the perch
where the cock roosts so high that'
when it stands up to crow he knocks
his head against the roof, and desists.
A swinging board hung over his head
answers the same' purpose, it says.
The State Journal say3 that nea ly
ev?ry fire alarm in Topeka means
two runs for the department. Some
one should turn in tn alarm for the

An Indian Buck Wanted a Side Part-
ner and Took Her
MUSKOGEE: Sam King, a full-
blood Creek, was arrested here on a
charge of kidnapping a buxom Creek
squaw and forcing her to live with
him, though she had been twice mar-
ried before. The Indians met at a
stomp dance near this city, and the
squaw says King forced her to go
and live with him, and that she was
afraid he would kill her If sho left
him. Under the old Indian laws a
marriage ceremony or license was
unnecessary, and many of the full;
bloods would still ignore this re-
quirement were it not that they feat
prosecution. King seems to think
he has committed no particular of-
fense. He wanted the woman for
his squaw and took her, and that 13
all there was to It, so far as he was
concerned.

the boards were made to wall: the

BABY'S INSTINCT
Shows He Knew What Food to Stick
To.
Forwarding a photo of a splendidly
handsome and healthy young boy, a
happy mother writes from an Ohio
town:
"The enclosed picture shows my 4-
year-old Grape-Nuts boy.
"Since he was 2 years old he has
eaten nothing but Grape-Nuts. He
demands and gets this food three
times a day. This may seem rather
unusual, but he does not care for any-
thing else after he has eaten his
Grape-Nuts, which he uses with milk
or cream, and then he is through with
his meal. Even on Thanksgiving day
he refused turkey and all the good
things that make up that great din-
ner, and ate his dish of Grape-Nuts
and cream with the best results and
none of the evils that the other fool-
ish members of the family experi-
enced.
"He is never sick, has a beautiful
complexion, and is considered a very
handsome boy. May the Postum Com-
pany prosper and long continue to fur-
nish their wholesome food!" Name
