NOTICE. To Farmers, Breeders and Horsemen. Before you make your selection for the season, call and see the black horse Endfiteld Boy. fo>merly Endfield Jim. In regard to the road horse sex you will find as tine a specie as has ever been shown in the county. He also has the best individuality. Such stock as his oft-spring, will increase the value of horses, instead of the stock we have bad here tor the past 50 years. Mr. Jackson, the owner, has had 10years of experience with such horses, both in sboekjft'amrhandling them and for in - formation as to such horses, don’t fail to see him. Enfield Boy is by Enfield 129 and he by Ilambletonian 10; the dam and grand-dam traced to American Star family. As far as equal to his for breeding it is hard to beat. To the interest of our county he promises to show the best road colts ibis fall on the new association track that has ever been shown from a sucking colt to a 2-year-old for speed, action and that which will please the eye there can be no better. Don't miss an opportunity of such a kind when you have a chance. He will forfeit the horse against SIOO, one-tenth part of bis value, that these statements will prove true. He finds that this horse has made a trial of 2:29i when a 4-year-old. He has never Jhad a campaigning. Now look deeply in this matter as it is to our interest and great value. This horse will make the season at Romberg’s Feed Yard. Terms—Ten dollars to insure a colt to stand and suck, but will not be responsible for any accident that may occur. Persons parting with mare before known to be with foal, forfeits the, insurance- Remember, look to yotfr* interests. For information call on Mr. Frank A. Jackson, Decatur.

(Jac of the most striking things about— stat i onitry r -suys—tbe—Nesst—-York. - World, is that it is not stationary, it changes .continually, in a fashion fairly kaleidoscopic Ju?t now plaid notepapers of delicate pinks and blues are found upon certain daring young women’s desks. It is probably a,product of the prevailing Scotch infatuation that infests everything. " Another sort of stationary much ..in vogue is named •‘The Marginal.” It appears in pale lavenders, cool grays and slaty bines, and along one edge of each sheet •is an inch-wide darker border. The envelopes are banded at the top with the darker stripe. Tins style has something mere to recommend it than as it clearly defines the margin which every let-ter-writer who prides herself upon betngyehic should observe. “The First, Empress’ is a third epistolary novelty. Its ilniqueness lies more in its shape and size than in its color, which repeats the blues and grays that seem to hold their own in all forms. “The First Empress” apparently had a ponchant for very broad, very short sheets of letter-pa-per, with envelopes to correspond. The effect is striking, but hardly likely to be lasting. Not more than four lines of the average angularity could be accommodated by such stationary’s sheets, but then the lines would be considerably longer than usual. Excursion to Bliclilgnn, Ma> 7th.

'z 1 ?',:". 11 IS MM SMBTIVE Russia, France and Germany Object to Japan’s Peace Conditions. EASTERN PEACE MENACED. « . r ' The Three Ooverniuent# Submit Some of the Reason* For a Modification of the Recent Peace Agreement—Japan and the United Slate#—Japan Will Not Yield the Fruits of Victory. London, April 27.—Direct and positive informal ion from official sources is at. hand Concerning tho exact negotiations between Ru«sia. France and Germany on one hand, mid Japan on the other. The Russian, French and German ministers separately interviewed the Japanese vice minister for foreign affairs under instructions from their respective governments, and presented memorandums in which it was stated that the governments of Russia, France and Germany upon examining the terms of peace imposed by Japan upon China have found that the possession of the peninsula of Lin Tong claimed by Japan would be a constant menace to the capital of China and at the same time would threaten the independence of Corea ami render it noneffective, in fact. In this sense and for other reasons it would be, it was staked, a constant menace to the permanent peace of the far east. Consequently the governments of France, Russia and Germany, desiring to show their sincere friendship for the government of Japan, it to renounce the absolute and final possession of the peninsula of Liu Tong. The memorandums of theke three governments make it plain that they are presented in the >vay of friendly advice to the Japanese government and are not intended in any way to convey any open or covert menace. •Juprtii and the United Stat-ex# The impression is gaining ground that Japan can rely upon the friendly counsel of the United States at the present moment. The governments of Great Britain and Italy have made it plain that they don’t intent to follow the exof Russia. France and Germany, and the great commercial interests of the United States in the far east, which the Japanese-Chinese treaty of-peace would largely benefit, no less than the constant attitude of the. United States toward Japan, lead the diplomats to believe that the United States at this juncture will not fail to make such a use of its good offices as will prevent Japan from being deprived of the fruits of her victory. .j ■ , ■ The treaty o? peace has already been ratified by the emperor of Japan and it would be extremely difficult to make any change. The only effect of Rusia’s, France’s Or Germany’s attitude must be to encourage the party in China which is opposed to any moderate and reasonable settlement, and thus to prolong the war indefinitely. It may be stated in the most positive terms that the reports thus far circulated regarding Japan’s reply to the powers are not correct. The reply had nor, been sent as late as the 26th, and from intimations received from the highest an<l most reliable sources here it may ibe stated that the reply, while moderate and conciliatory in tone, will not contain any recession from what Japan regards as rightfully her due. ASKING FOR TIME. 'China Requested to Relay Ratifying the Peace Convention. London, April 27. — The Shanghai correspondent of The Times telegraphs: “Russia has requested the Chinese government to delay for a few days the ratification of the peace convention entered into by the Chinese and Japanese plenipotentiaries at Shimonseki. I believe that Japan was surprised by the protests made by Russia, France and Germany against the permanent annexation by Japan of territory on the Chinese main land. The dispatch of the latest Japanese expedition to Port Arthur were ordered for the purpose of allaying the discontent that exists in that pqrtion of the army which has not shared in the honors of the campaign and also to force the Pekin government to ratify the peace treaty. ” A Pekin dispatch to The Tinies says it is the cession of southern Manchuria, as provided for in the treaty of peace, that is chiefly opposed in. the Chinese capital. The agreement to. this end made by Li Hung Chang specially grieves the emperor, because the province of Manchuria is the ancestral portion of the Empire. There is less opposition regarding the cession of the islaud of Formosa, which is a new province. The other articles of the treaty are regarded as bearable. Several governors and some of the generals Oppose submission to the public proclamation that has been made. THE MONTREAL FIRE. One Girl Reported Mining and One of the Injured Dies. Montreal, April 27.—1 tis rumored that one girl, Marie La Frambois, who was employed in the burned tobacco factory, is missing. Alphonsine Thibeadeau, who broke her back in jumping from the window and was hurt internally, is dead. The inquest on the body commenced at the general hospital, where she died, in the afteanoon. A large crowd of people fritd to be kept from the doors of the institution. The chief building inspector in an interview showed that the arrangements of the building were in direct violation of the law." The work of clearing up the ruins has been resumed. Prison Life#. Marseilles, April 27. — Ex-Consul John L. Waller has been placed in the civil prison at St. Pierre, the military authorities refusing to keep him any longer in Fort St. Nicholas, where he has been detained since his arrival here. Mr. Waller is now awaiting liis transfer to some fortified place, probably to He Marguerite, where the late Marshal Bazaine was interned.

A Piute ttHonnrr. “Old Pat” is a Piute buck. He fre- ' quents the locality of Gold Hill, where he saws wood. Pat is an influential man. but he has no aversion to talk for ' publication; on the contrary, he sought i an interview with a representative of I the press ‘recently. He is a reformer, I and has sat himself down before a I mighty wrong; a wrong which he says i is a common one. Pat says that the Piute squaws are learning to smoke opium; that they ' are being enticed from the paths of ' Piute rectitude and led into dens of j vice and haunts of inquiry by the ! wilv Chinee. Pat didn't use those ex- ■ act words, but that was what he meant. | He says that the squaws come -to Virginia, smoke a big pipe and then go to sleep. That they stay away from I the wickiups for days at a time and come home “heap sick.” Pat says, moreover, that some of his weak sisters have smoked the big pipe so much that they get sick if they don’t smoke it, and “Old Pat’s” story is in every particular corroborated by young Pat, his son. It May <lo a# much for You. Mr. Fred Miller, of Irving, HL, writes that he bad a Severe Kidney trouble for many years, with severe pains in his back and also that his bladder was affected. He tried many so called Kidney cures but without any good result. About ayear ago he began nseof Electric Bitters and found relief at once. Electric Bitters is especially adapted to the cure of all Kidney and •Liver troubles and often gives almost instant relief. One trial will prove our statement. Price only 50c. for large bottle. At Blackburn & Millers’ (sue cessors to A. R. Pierce.)' ■ • ' i H6vr a Became' ri Teetotaler. A young lady at Westgate-on-Sea tells a remarkable anecdote of a dog who was cured of its evil habit of love for liquor. Some mischievous persons bad so often given .to her father’s great dog bits of bread soaked in -beer that. Neptune grev, fond of the Artificial dainty. One day. when a large party was returning from a picnic, Nep was put up on the box seat beside the driver of the carriage, as he seemed too tired To run home all the way. He must have drunk some liquor at the feast, for on the road he fell from the caiTiage to the ground. No bones we.ro broken,, though he must have got a seevere shake and a fright in i the fall. The result -was that Nep j never once after that day could be in- ' duced to touch bread soaked with liquor, turning fi’oiu it with loathing and contempt, the very smell of it being repulsive. In fact, he became a teetotaler. Knight# of the 111accabecM. The State Conmnnder writes us from Lincoln, Neb., as follows: “After trying other medicines for what seemed to be X verj obstinate cough in our two'children ! we tried Dr. King's New Discovery and at ; the end of two days the cough entirely left ! them. We will not ba without it hereafj ter. as our experience proves that it cures j where all other remedies fail.” -Signed F. ' W.

Silence a N’uisance. Speaking of the young man who talks in public places, I heard a retort made to him recently which was so good I was surprised never to have heard it. before. It was at the theatre, arid the young man had seen the play before. He let everybody fbr four seats arcund-know that, and he kept telling just what was coining and just how funny it would be when it did dome. He had a pretty girl with him, ap'd he was trying to amuse her. At length he said: “Did you eter try listening to a play with your eyes shut? You’ve nd idea hpw queer it seems.” A middle-aged man with a red face ’sat just in front. He twisted himself about in his Seat, and glared at the young man. “Young man,” said he, “did you ever try listening to.a play with your motth shut?” / And the silence was almost painful. —Washington Post.
