Announcement. Owing to the advance in paper and all newspaper materials, the will, after January 15th, 1908, raise the subscription price as follows: The weekly will be charged at the rate of $1.50 per year instead of $1.25 as heretofore. After January 15th, 1908, those subscribers to the daily and the weekly Pioneer, who live outside of this county, whose papers are sent to them in a single wrapper, and wish to have the paper sent them will be required to pay in advance. The paper will not be sent unless it is paid for- This notice is given early so that a1l who are in arrears will have sufficient time to settle their accounts before that time. Statements will be sent to all who are in arrears and they will be expected to pay up all that is due and a year in advance on the weekly, and at least three months in advance on the daily. The ‘“‘single list,” as it is termed is practically a dead loss to a newspaper. . A few keep their sub- scription up, but more let them run along until they are hard to collect and many are not collected, but the editor has to pay the pos- tage each week on all papers that go out side of the county, and also has to pay all other expenses of furnishing the paper and mailing it. Pioneer The Pioneer at all times aims to give toits readers the best news service possible, and the money saved by not permitting these accounts from the ‘single list” to run will be used to better the paper. The list will be carefully watched from month to month and on the first of each month all whose sub- scriptions expires within the next six weeks following the date of the month will be notified of the exact date of the expiration of his subscrib- tion..

Toklo, Dec. 2 ~—The following inter- views have been granted exclusively to the Assoclated Press: “Japan will heartily welcome the American fleet of battleships to the Pacific and to the ports of this coun- try if It be decided to extenésthe trip in this direction “The fact that the fleet is salling towards the Pacific creates no excite- ment here and as I have sald before to the Associated Press Japan views in the friendliest manner any action America may, within the scope of wis. dom, see fit to take in the disposition of its naval forces, because the Japa- nese people have absolute confidence in the friendiy attitude of the states- men and the great mass of the peo- ple. We hope that the fleet may have a successful and safe voyage and Americans everywhere may rest as- sured that should the fleet decide to visit the Far East at no place will it receive a heartier welcome than in Japan.” Foreign Minister Viscount Hayashi, in giving the above statement to the Associated Press representative, voiced the sentiment of the whole Japanese people. Admiral Count Togo said: Togo Extends Warm Welcome. “I am very glad that the fleet has started for the Pacific. If I am cor- rectly informed it is expected on this side in April or May next. If it should ultimately touch on our shores we will greet them as friends and give them the warmest reception. “We entertain nothing but the kind- liest feelings towards American sail- ors.” The minister of the navy, Admiral Saito, said: “The American fleet will be heartily welcomed should it visit Japan, 1 know Admiral Evans well. He is a delightful gentleman and & splendid sailor and I certainly hope that he will bring his ships on this side and give us a chance to show our apprecia- tion of his good qualities.” Prince Ito, resident general of Ko- rea, said: “America has always been a help- ful friend to Japan and the Japanese are staunch admirers of President Roosevelt. We have never had any other idea than that it was quite the Intention of America to dispatch a fleet where it was desired and it will be especially welcdmed should it come to Japan. I have always maintained that talk of war between Japan and America Is unspeakable and unthink- able and the attitude of the people towards the fleet will nltimately prove the sincerity of our words, which have been consistently friendly.” IN ATTITUDE OF DEFENSE Armed Hostile Forces Occupy Streets of Teheran. Teheran, Dec. 2 .—Matters looked more hopeful here for a brief period and the armed factions which have occupled the streets of the Persian capital since Sunday began to dis- perse. But suddenly a few random shots were fired in the public square and this caused a speedy reassembling of the opposing forces. As a result of the deliberations be- tween the shah and the parliamentary party it was agreed that the negotia- tions could continue with a chance of success only if both sides struck their tents and dispersed. Accordingly the reactionaries, who were bivouacked in Artillery square, and the constitution- alists, who surrounded the assembly bullding, started to withdraw from their positions. Some shops had re- opened, the people were heginning to circulate on the streets and the mem- bers of the assembly were deliberat- ing for the best solution of the crisis when suddenly the firing from the square was heard. Each faction thought it had been deceived and the followers of each party at once seized their guns and stood ready for any development. In the course of the early afternoon large and fully armed forces representing each side reoccu- pled their_former positions. The atti- tude of each faction is largely de- fensive.

Salt Lake City, Dec. 2 .—The Green River State bank of Green River, Utah, was taken in charge by the state examiner. It carried about $50,- 000 in deposits. Its embarrassment is attributed to the destruction by flood of a dam across Green river, which interrupted irrigation for the season and impoverished some of the bank's debtors. LOOKS HAGGARD AND WORN Editor Harden of Berlin on Trial on Criminal Charge. Berlin; Dec. 2 .—Maximilian Harden was haggard and worn and his face pale and flushed alternately when he appeared before the criminal court and took his place in the dock to an- swer the: accusation brought in the name of the state that he had of- tfended néotionly against General Count Kuno von Moltke, but against the in- terests of socfety in writing in Die Zukunft of Von Moltke, Prince Philip zu Eulenburg, General Count Wilhelm von Hohenau and others in the man- ner in which he did. Count von Moltke looked to be in much better health than when he was tn court last. He now and then looked Intently at Harden, but the prisoner paid no attention to him. He listened languidly to the arguments of the law- yers concerning the jurisdiction of the court, This discussion lasted for two hours and a half. At the conclusion of the arguments of counsel the judges announced that they were competent to try the case. After a recess of fifteen minutes the president of the court asked whether or not the hearlngs should be contin- ued in public. Dr. Isenbiel and Dr. Sello for von Moltke and Herr Bern- steln for Harden declared that they and their clients desired the fullest publicity. Dr. Isenbiel reserved the right to ask that the public be ex- cluded during the taking of testimony relating to shameful vices. The Indictment against Harden was then read by the first assistant judge. It is a long document covering Har- den’s political articles in Die Zukunft for a period of several months. TO POPULARIZE SERVICE. Plainly Garbed Russlan Regiments Made More Brilliant. 8t. Petersburg, Dec. 20 .—The name day of Emperor Nicholas, which is be- ing celebrated with the usual cere- monies at Tsarskoe-Selo, has been sig- nalized by an order restoring to the Russian army the picturesque uniform worn in the reign of Alexander IL This order will transform thirty-five out of the fifty-five soberly clad dra- goon regiments into hussars and uhlans, whose brilllant and showy garb is expected to popularize the service in the eyes of recruits and the population generally. This change is made, according to the phraseology of the order, because, during a long pe- riod of peace, the uniform must be brilliant and beautiful. The list of name day honors fills sixty-five columns in the Official Ga- zette, but even so it is barely half as long this year as it was in 1906. Gen- eral Kaulbars, whose administration of Odessa has been much criticised, is glven the Alexander Nevsky order set in diamonds and General of Cavalry Skallon, governor general of Warsaw, s promoted to a full generalship. _ RIFLE PLACED IN EVIDENCE Alleged to Be Weapon Used in Mur- der of Goebel.

Hamilton Lewis Willing to Run for Governor of lllinois. New York, Dec. 2 .—J. Hamilton Lewls of Chicago has announced that he will accept the nomination for gov- ernor of Illinois if it' were tendered him. He said: “A greater regard for the rights of_ 1reople and less zeal to punish som individual will be the platform of ho!. parties at the coming presidential nominations, if they are wise. I think Cannon of Mlinois or Foraker of Ohi: will be the Hepublican candidate, Hughes has no chance because of the animosity of state leaders and the on position of the country to allowing New York to again dictate the presi- dency. If conservatives in the Deme. cratic party prevail Grav of Delaware or Johnson of Minnesota will be ‘the candidate.” IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.
