It seems rather silly and out of place trom Portsmouth of the praspects of peace from both delega- tims of envoys have arrived, but pes- simism is so generally prevalent among those already here who have some in+ timate of the questions at issue, and perhaps of the views of the t CUALe knowledge belligerent governments sonie+ thing of what these observers are say- ing may prove of interest, j Nearly ail the men now a: Ports- i a mouth who came over from Enrope or Russia with the envoys or talked with them in New York have the idea that there is likely to be an abortive ending of the conference before the week is out, This idea is based on the belief that the Japanese peace terms will be : so severe that the Russian plenipoten- tiaries will deciine absolutely to con- sider them until they are greatly modi- fie.

They are letting the other ai foreieners do the talking of that char- acter. The Japarese journalists, fol- lowing the example of the official rep- Tepentatives of their government, are saying nothing. More Time to Elect Trastees., ____ Topeka, Kan., Aug, 7.—As the credi- tors of the J. C. Devlin estate were not ready to file their reports and elect trustees Monday a month longer was given them. The hearing was to have came up before N. H. Loomis, specia! -referee in ihe United States cirenit coart. This will also give the re- eedvers more time to prepare their ree part for the creditors. Sed TMaminating Companies Consolidate. Harrisburg, Pa., Aug. 7.—Notice of the merger and consolidation of 15 electric light and gas companies in Lu- z@me county, Pa., intoone company with a capital of $1,000,000 was filed in the state department Monday with the approval of Gov. Pennypacker. mips To Relinquish Governorshtp.

HL @ piace unknown and even unmarked on some maps in common use, has sud- denly become a spot on which the at- tention of the dipiematic world is fixed Not only the foreign office but the Boerse and the great trading and financial houses of Germany look for- ward with extreme interest to the meetings of the peace envoys and num- crous Russian enterprises, old and new, financed by German credit, wait on the results ot the conferences. The doubts existing in London and other capitals over the prospects 0? peace exist here but in a tar milder lorm. The prevailing opinion is that, although neither Russia nor Japan is anywhere near the exhaustion of its resources yet, pcace is so ne y to both that each will be reluctant to withdraw from the negotiations, once they are begun, without attaining peace. The utterances in the United States of the plenipotentiaries or of persons presumed to be speaking for them, are regarded as conversarional reconnaissances, suitable preliminaries to strennons negotiations, but as being far from forecasting the actual busi- ness of the conference, It is believed in oficial quarters that each side will find the othcr adopting a stiff attitude in the beginning and coming to the breaking point bet that ultimately a common ground will be reached, se THE DEADLY GRADE CROSSING One Dead and Six Others Fatally Injured at Cleveland, O.—Father of Victim Cleveland, Aug. 7.—Reports Monday trom various hospitals to which the victims of Sunday night's grade cross- ing accident were taken showed that only one death had occurred, but six of the badly injured will probably die. Aside from those fatally hurt, least a score of other possengers on the street car received more or less serious wounds, V LV. Lillie, the gateman employed by the Pennsylvania company at Si. Clair street crossing where a fast out. going Pennsylvania train struck a street car, has been placed under ar- rest, He admits that the gates were not lowered. — Lillie is held upon the harge of manslaughter, Investigu- tion shows that the trolley wheel left the wire just as the car reached ihe Pennsylvania tracks and before it could be replaced, the fast train came alongs and collided with the car, loaded with 40 passengers. James Martin, whose young daughter was killed outright while his wife and two other children were badly injured is Monday reported to be insane as the vesult of the accident. Mrs, Martin is not expected to live through the day. Sunday night Martin went to the hospital where the physicians were about to operate upon his daughter. The crazed man struck one of the physicians a terrific plow in the face and knocked him down, ENTERTAINING TAFT PARTY. Dinnerss and Receptione Follow in Rapid Suascession in Mantia—Interned Ras- slan Officers Present. Menila, Aug. 7.—At 7 o'clock Monday evening General Cobin gave a dinner to the gentlemen of the Taft party. Rear admiral Euquist of the Russian navy and his staff, were present.

Rear Admiral Enquist, who was much affected then arose and made a profound salutation, At the same time Commissioner Forbes entertained Miss Alice Roosevelt at dinner. At 8 o'clock, about 3,000 persons attendcd a brilliant reception given by Gov- ernor-General Wright at the Malacaa- nan Palace. Those present, from the highest official and most prominent citizen to the humblest native, were greeted by Secretary Taft and Miss Roosevelt, who shook hands with all. Rear Admiral Enquist and his staff were present. Spanish residents say that the reception surpassed any in the previous history of Manila. MELVIN CAUGHT AT LAST The Man Who Used Dynamite on the Saloons of Iola, Kan., Arrested, Cedar Rapids, Ia, Aug. 7.—C. L. Melvin, wanted in Iola, Kan., on a charge of blowing up saloons with dy- naraite, has been arrested at Keystone, this state. Melvin was captured by Sheriff H. A. Richardson, of Iola, in a camp of railroad laborers on the Chicago, Mil- waukee & St. Paul railroad. Melvin went ‘with the sheriff without trouble. “I could make you a good deal of trouble,” he told the officer, “but Iam not. going to do it.” Melvin confessed to the sheriff that he wrecked the joints. He told him that he had no accomplices. He ex- pressed satisfaction over the fact that he had done the work. He asked tc be sent to the penitentiary, saying that he was not insane. The sheriff ig satisfied from his conversation with him that the man is not insane. » Teamsters Meet in Phitadelphia, Philadelphia, Aug. 7.—The interna- tional brotherhood of teamsters be- gan its third annual convention in Odd Fellows hall here Monday, with Cornellius P. Shea of Chicago, presi- dent of the Union fn the chair. This is the labor organization which for months interferred with business in Chicago, the teamsters of which city struck in an effort to enforce demands made upon the merchants. , ‘ — ee ee ee FONDS TO li Tt FEVER $70,000 Immediately Available for Use by Federal Authorities at New Orleans. ESTIMATED COST IS $2,000 PER DAY. Dr. White. the Governmental Official to Charge, Says the Entire Expeuse Will be From 81 80,000 to $240,000—the Small Nomber of Fatalities Gives Eo- couragemenut to the Authorities. New Orleans, La., Aug. 7—There is $70,000 immediately in hand resulting from an assessment on the citizens of New Orleans, no cifficully standing in the way of immediate federal control of the fever situation Dr. White es- timates the total expenses for eradica- tion at $1,500 to $2,000 per day or from $150,000 to $240,000 for fever months, which would carry the campaign into December by wiich time frost may be expected, There is therefore available enough money to go forward with the federal plans at high pressure for a month or six weeks and long before that time it is assured by Mayor Behr man and Chairman Janvire of the citizens committee that the total of 25,000 asked by the gvvernment will be on hand, If complete success crowns the work of the marine hospit- al bureau it is possible that the fever will be completely under control by Mth of September without requirin: the expenditure of the maximum figure which is asked from the city to stamp out the ase, August has always been regarded as one of the worst months in an epidemic and the com- paratively smal] number of fatalities thus far this month, in comparison with other years, gives great encour. agement to the authorities. Every authority wanted by the fed- eral bureau is assured, Adequate pe lice power will be given the marin hospital surgeons to aid them in their scientific work, Dr. White has made an examination of the municipal laws including the mosquito ordinance, and declares they are sufficient for his pur- pose, Chairman Janvire of the citi. ven committee will put his force at the disposal of Dr. White and will dis- burse the general fund under the di- rection of Dr. White. Engines of the departanent are to be available in flushing and other cleaning work, Local politics is to cut no figure whatever in the situation and the government fs to have ‘full author- ity to hire and discharge whomsoever it pleases. Efforts are to be made to assist in getting the most reliable labor available, On the other hand, in addition to the work that will be done here, it is ex: pected that all the resources of the federal government will be used in ob- taining modification of the extreme quarantine regulations that are now in effect so that New Orleans will be able to resume commercial relations with the surrounding states, The good effect of federal control is already evi- denced in the favorable view of the situation which is shown by interviews with the health authorities in nearby states and it is thought little difficulty will be encountered in securing a modification of the restrictions against freight. The Louisiana parishes are already becoming more reasonable and some of them are announcing their willingness to receive geods from this city. With revival of business New Orleans can the more readily furnish all the money needed by the govern- ment. Eight hundred men started in Mon- day on the general cleaning movement and this force will be largely added to Tuesday and on Wednesday when there is a general suspension of business for cleaning purposes. Vigorous sanitary and preventive measures are under way in the old infected region and fire en- gines and steam disinfecting plants are being used in a ruthless crusade against the mosquito. The fact that there was a slight fall in the number of new cases, no ins crease in the number of deaths and a marked dimunition in the number of new foci, within the preceding 24 hours has had a marked effect on the spirits of the community and confidence is growing that with repressive measures now being instituted there is little probability of a serious epidemic, The records of preceding epidemics justifies that expectation. Reports from the bedside of Archbishop Chapelle Monday report the venerable clergyman slightly bet- ter and Dr. Larue is beginning to hope that the archbishop will pull through. Many telegrams and some cablegrams have been received inquiring as to tho condition of the archbishop and ex~ pressing sympathy. Inga Banson Sent to Joliet. Chicago, Aug. 7.—Inge Hanson, the former Salvation Army girl convicted of perjury in connection with a per- sonafinjury suit brought by her against the Chicago City railway, was taken to the penitentiary at Joliet Monday to begin an indeterminate sentence. Since her trial several months ago Miss Hanson has been confined in the Cook county jail hospital, claiming to be still suffering from the effects of a paralytic stroke resulting from her in- jury. Veneruelin Buying More War Vessels. Genoa, Italy, Aug. 7.—The Venezue- lan government has placed an order for six totpedo boats and one torpedo boat destroyer. ; ee Will Meet at Boston in 1907. Geneva, Switzerland, Aug. 7.—The {nternational congress, at its first session accepted an invitation to meet in Boston in 1907, ~ | An Encouraging Outlook. | Ifany democrat is disposed to take Ee gloomy view of the future let him find encouragement in a review of the last few years. The demand for the popular elec- tion of senatore has grown. The pro- position never received endorsement in congress until thirteen years ago. Since that time the proposed amend- ment has carried in the house of rep- resentives four times. It has been en- dorsed by two-thirds of the states and two democratic national plat- forms. It will come. The protective tariff is becoming more and more odious as it becomes more apparent that the manufac turers are extorting from the people at home while they sell abroad in com- petition with the world. Tariff re- form will come. And the deficit dur- ing the last fiscal year suggests the advisability of an income tax. The truste are exciting more and more opposition as their methods become known. “Private monopo- lies are indefensible and intolerable” and all of them must sooner or later be exterminated. The growth of municipal ownership has been phe- nomenal and men of all parties are supporting that plan in all thecitiee, The railroads have their own way. They have watered their stock and discriminated between persons and places: but they will be brought un- der government control. The Philippine situation is proving the correctness of the democratic position, The fslands are a burden in peace and a weakness in war. A colonial policy provides at all times a repudiation of our theory of gov- ernment, and ultimate independence {s the only solution. The labor question demands set- tlement along democratic lines and each year’s delay emphasizes the necessity for relief. The quantitative theory of money has been established and the benefit ofalarge volume of currency has been demonstrated. President Roosevelt’s popularity has been won by the advocacy of democratic policies and will be lost if he fails to make good. Why should democrats not find encouragement in thesituation? The outlook surely grows brighter day by day.—Commoner. CASTORIA. Bears the Tho Kind You Have Always Bought 8 ‘ ; Here’s One Contented Man. Chicago, Aug. 7—There is such a thing as getting enough money. This is the opinion of Osto Young, who has just sold his half interest in the Fair department store on State street, who is accounted one of the wealthiest men in Chicago. Sitting in his white stone palace on theshore of Lake Geneva yesterday, Mr. Young declared hia own ambitions in the acquiring of wealth were satisfied. “I feel that I have all the money that I desire,” said Mr. Young, “and lam willing and glad that some one else shovld obtain a fortune. Un- doubtedly there is s time whena man comes to feel that he has reach- ed the limit of his desires in the wa: of piling up riches. I do not think it would be possible to lay down any fixed sum as the amount 4 reasona- ble man should be contented to ob- tain. It depends upon his personal inclinations, on his age and on his health. I am 60 years old and | feel that I no longer desire to add to my wealth. I have sufficient for my per- sonal wishes.” A FAMILY SAFEGUARD FARM MISSOURI SHOW HOGS § 150 Head at Breeders’ Combination State Fair Swine “ SEDALIA, MO., AUGUST 23-24-25.
