In the east a crusade has been be
gun against the use of tan bark floors
by cheap theaters. The ground of the
opposition is that they are a menace
to health. Tanbark is a most effective
medium for the collection and distribu
tion of disease germs. It would scarce
lr be possible to render a tanbark floor
sanitary for "one night only" and it is
an indisputable fact that a single floor
ing of tanbark often does duty for
many days, and. indeed, for many
weeks. The condition of such a mass
necessarily must be indescribably vile.

HEAVY FALL. OF HAILSTONES AT
WYMORE.
A Carload of Hailstones.
Wymore. Edward Delaney brought
into town a watermelon packed
in hailstones. The hailstones fell
Wednesday, August 7. Mr. De
laney says 'that southeast of town
there were piles of hailstones con
taining more than a carload. Some
of the stones he brought in measured
over two inches in diameter and they
had been melting nearly a week. The
hail fell in a strip about two and a
half miles wide and ten miles long, be
ginning about five miles southeast of
town and extending south and east.

London advices assert that the new agreement Is an exemplification of
the treaty of Portsmouth between Russia and Japan. It Is said that some of
the articles will be expunged and restated In a form confirming to Japan
her Liao-Tung peninsular lease, allowing both signatories greater military
freedom in Manchurlan development and sanctioning the building of a new
stragetic railway.
The opinion prevails that Japan will have confirmed all of her terri
tory south of the parallel 44, east of longitude 116, giving her paramount
Influence over and enabling her to dominate Peking, while Russia will have
complete liberty of action in all of the Chinese territory outside the great
wall and west of the Japanese lone.
Also that Japan formally accepts the Russian twelve-mile limit In terri
torial waters and supports the construction by Russia of the Klakhta railway
in Siberia.

trees on two sides of the building,
a long stretch of lawn and flowers
of a variety of species to give the
surroundings a most cheerful as

College View, is an institution
ideal in many ways. Though two
trolley lines run to the edge of the
grounds, from Lincoln five miles

cessful career, not only in the
number of patients it constantly
has taking treatments, but in the
JAPAN VISITS CZAR
The present visit to Russia of the
Japanese statesman, Prince Katsura,
Is a momentous development toward
completing the final details of the
defensive alliance pact between Rus
sia and Japan. '
The actual agreement between the
former enemies was concluded same
time ago and probably will be signed
soon.
The agreement consists of two
parts, one dealing with the delimita
tion of the spheres of influence of
Russia and Japan in Mongolia and
Manchuria, which is similar In scope
and character to the Anglo-Russian
accord of August 31, 1907, regarding'
Persia. The second part deals with'
the duty of the two nations for a)
Joint defense in case either power is
attacked. '
The Russo-Japanese agreement of
July 4, 1910, providing for the main
tenance Jointly of the status quo in
Manchuria, was a direct result of the
ill-fated neutralization scheme for the
Manchurlan railroads, and the pres
ent one was the outcome of a long

SULTAN OF MOROCCO A POET
Mulai Hafid Is Recognized in M?Mnv
medan World as a Writer
of Ability.
Paris. Mulal HaflJ, the sultan f
Morocco, who recently left Fes Copi
Rabat, has a reputation as a poet Ea'
the Mohammedan world and is also
recognized as a writer on philosophy
His best-known poem has recently
been translated into Spanish by Senor
Ricardo Baetsa. - r ,
The sultan starts by ccnffepslng his
disenchantment with life. Translated
literally, this portion of his song
reads: i
"From the heights to which Plate
has borne me, I see naught but hu
man heads servilely bowed. So high
am I placed that my hand outstretched ,
could not encounter any other hand,
any friendly hand."' ,
Then he reverts to the hapy epoch
when as a simple camel driver bar
loved the beautiful Bedouin girl, '
Aneise, and her alone. Today, sur
rounded with riches and honor.
wearied with pleasures, the sultan
iy meditates upon the Irrevocable
and upon his first love.
Then, advancing to more impersonal
BubJects, the sultan writes:
"Patience! Fate whljmnra to m.
( And while expectant that the star of
j ancient days shall shine again, re
splendent, over our heads, I still ban
add pearls, more and more pearls to
the marvelous regalia of Islam; and
may the keen edge of the sword of .
vengeance open to us at the propitjons
hour the road to the final triumph!
Night sings my songs in secret to
day; but tomorrow they shall be In
toned in the broad light, freely, glori
ously!". .The inference is taken to be that
he hopes one day, not - distant, to
shake off the yoke, or the protectorate
of the foreigner, and to reconquer hUt
Independence as the chief of the
Moors. '

New York. That the death knell

the fire department here as the result
of arrests which it Is expected wfO
shortly be made after half a decade
of endeavor ' to bring , within the -clutches-of
the law the members of
an organization which has capitalized ,
the building of incendiary fires. -
According. to the fire marshal, this ,
gang in the conduct of Its ingenious
pursuit has caused the loss of more
; than $1,000,000 in the last five year
through small fires.
- Although its existence has long '
been known, the make-up of the or
ganization is apparently as uncertata
and changeable as that of the "Black
Hand." It is sometimes called the
"firebug syndicate," and is said . to

"When it is too hot indoors the
