No. The Chiropractic and the Osteopath both aim to put in place that which is out of place, to right that which is wrong; but the Path- ology Diagnosis, Prognosis and Movements are entirely different. One of my patients, Mr. W. A. Casler, has taken both Chiropractic and Osteopoth treatments. The Chiropractic is ten times more direct in the adjustments and the results getting health ten times more thor- ough in one tenth of the time than an Osteopath would.

O!ficial County and City Paper SUBSCRIPTION $5 PER YEAR PERMISSION REFUSED. Agents Not Allowed to Peddle Bibles in Turkey. Constantinople, Jan. 4—The porte has at length replied to the notes of the American legation and the British embassy regarding the sales of bibles and, notwithstanding previous assur- ances, the porte refuses to authorize street sales. The porte’s notes, which are in identic terms, declare there is no doubt that agents of the bible so- [ cleties indulge in a propaganda in ex- plaining the utility and use of the scriptures and as all propagandas are forbidden by the laws of the empire the action of the Colporteurs brings them under prohibition. Consequent- ly the government can no longer con- sent to the system of peddling bibles but must insist that the sales be con- finel exclusively to shops or the de- pots of the societies. MAJORITY DEAD OR DISABLED. Only Ten Thousand Men Under Arms at Port Arthur. St. Petersburg, Jan. 4.—General Stoessel’s dispatches by way -of Che- foo to the general staff relate how the position of the fortress of Port Arthur gradually became less safe and more critical, the ravages of scurvy increas- ing enormously the casualty lists, al- ready so considerable from the Jana- nese assaults and bombardments. To- wards the end of the year the supplies of ammunition completely gave out, there were 14,000 sick and wounded in the hospitals and 300 fresh casual ties coming in daily. The general re- ports that at the end of the siege he had only 10,000 men under arms, the remainder of the original garrison hav- ing been either killed or disabled. MUST AGAIN FACE JURY.

D, Jan. 4—In the pres- ence of a joint session of both houses Governor Elrod”and other state ofii- cers were sworn in by Presiding Jus- tice Corson of the supreme court. The Wweather was at its best.

Denver, Jan. 4—An important vie- tory was won by the Peabody faction of Republicans when the Republican caucus selected W. H. Dickson of this city as speaker of the next house of the Colorado legislature. Although Mr. Dickson has been a resident of this state for years he has not been active in the interest of any Republican fac- tion, but his candidacy was pushed by the friends of Governor Peabody and his selection by the caucus is regard- ed with much complacency by the Pea- body people. IN NEW. MARBLE CAPITOL. Minnesota Legislature Begins Biennial Session. St. Paul, Jan. 4—The state legis- lative session of 1905 began at noon— the first in the new marble capitol.

Frank Clague of Redwood county was elected speaker of the house and Julius A. Schmahl of the same county was chosen chief clerk. READY . TO DISCUSS PEACE. bipan Willing to Make Terms Said to Be Reasonable. Tokio, Jan. 4—Some of the foreign diplomats here believe that there will be an early renewal of efforts looking to the securing of peace. Outwardly the Japanese government gives no in- dications of its desires in that direc- tion, but it is known that it is pre- pared to discuss the question and to make terms which are characterized as reasonable. Those who predict a movement for peace declare that the Japanese em- peror’s commendation of General Stoessel and the determination of the Japanese to give honorable terms to the surrendered garrison will soften the blow to Russia and create an open- ing for the discussion of peace. The United States, Great Britain and France are named as possible di- rect or indirect intermediaries, though it is not improbable that Japan will broach the subject direetly. The fall of Port Arthur jmmensely strengthens the hand of Japan. In the actual conduct of the war Port Arthur has been a stumbling block to Japan, which for six months has had-engaged there over 100,000 troops and prac: tically her entire navy. This fact com- pelled Field Marshal Oyama to fight the battle of Liaoyang shorthanded. Now the entire nayy is free to prepare to meet the Russian second Pacific squadron and to attend to the Vladi- vostok squadron. A heavy force of troops will be immediately available for service in Manchuria and this pos- sibly will allow the undertaking of other independent enterprises.. trom $10,000 to Plain Facts Apples them as a special this week Coffees as the best.
