FEW WOULD CHANGE THEIR ALLEGIANCE Majority ( the Mikado's Subjects Mow In America Expect to ) , Retarn to the Katlv Land. WASHINGTON, Dec. 8. Favorably ac tion by congress on the recommendation of the president In his annual message that an act be passed specifically providing for the naturalisation of Japanese who come to the United States Intending to become American citizens will go far toward secur. Ing a continuance of the traditional friendly relations between this country and Japan In the opinion of Viscount Aokl, the Japa nese ambassador. "Of course," said Vls count Aokl today, "no nation likes to see Its subjects leave to take up a permanent abode In a foreign land and lose all rela tion with the fatherland, but In many canes it cannot be helped." The ambassador expressed the belief that there were not sj many Japanese in this country to take advantage of naturaliza tion If It were granted, but he thought that such an opportunity should be af forded them along with the citizens of other countries, lie said he did not think It probable that those Japanese who were emigrating in large number to Hawaii and the Pacific coast would avail themselves of naturalization because of the fact that they represented the poorer classes and moat of them ultimately returned to Japan. Vis count Aokl aald he had every confidence In V th outcome of the test case 'which will be brought in the California courts. California!! Talk of War. CHICAGO, Deo. 8. A dispatch to the Tribune from Ban Franc'soj says: Cali fornia regardj ti.o J&paness embrogilo as practically settled, and while believing the present crisis ha- been bridged over, ex pects and predicts war between the United States and Japan within five years. That the federal government by dodging the Issue and placing responsibility for the alleged insult to Japan on California has prevented Immediate war, is the firm con viction of politicians and officeholders In Ban Francisco, but that war with Japan will eventuate Is declared on every side. What Sulphur Does For the Human Italy In Health and Disease. GAMBLING TRIPS CASHIER Docket Shops and Cards Lead to Em beislement and Flight of C. A. Cook. Charles A. Cook, formerly cashier of the Aorne Harvesting Machine company, Ninth and Jackson streets, absconded with $1,237.90, of the money of the company on the night of November, 28 and Is stlli at large. He abandoned a wife In Council Bluffs and his downfall Is attributed to a fondness for high play at cards and gambling In bucket shops. The loss will not fall on the imple ment company, as Cook was bonded to the extent of $2,000 by the Illinois Surety com--pany. A complaint charging Cook ith embez zlement was filed by the local representa tive of the bonding company In the court of. Justice of the Peace Cockrel!. Cook had been employed by the Acme company for over a year and had been a most efficient cashier and the utmost confi dence was placed In his honesty and in tegrity. Previous to coming to Omaha he had been the local agent of the Acme com pany at Aberdeen, S. D., and had also been employed by the McCormick Harvesting company. He resided In Council Bluffs and was well known there. The defalcations do not extend over a long period, as the first loss which can be traced on the books Is on November 9, when he took $90, and the remainder of the Amount of the shortage was taken on the day he left Omaha. He was known to be an Inveterate whist player and fre quently played for large stakes. When requested for a statement as to ; the embezzlement by his cashier, O. P. Olson, genernl agent for the Acme com pany, stild: "I must " - to make any statement In the case limn that a shortage ex ists. I hal . 'tlg.iest regard for Mr. Cook and his wnt and had always placed the utmost confidence In him and our rela tions were most friendly." A warrant has been issued forthe arrest of Cook, who was reported to have been seen at Kansaa City. His wife Is pros trated over the affair, but believes her hus band will return and make good the shortage. a car while he was crossing the street at Thirteenth and Davenport streets. The miitormun, he says, did not property amp the tender and he was dragged lot) feet by the car. He declares he is permanently injured. GUEST SHOOTS IN DREAMS Dnloth Citizen Fires at Imaginary Microbes, Perforating Celling and Scnrlug Sleepers. While suffering from a violent attack of nightmare John Kunohuno, a visitor from Duluth who Is on his way to San Fran cisco, startled the roomers at the Oxford hotel early Saturday morning by shooting the celling of his room full of holes with a revolver. ' He was disarmed by Officer Cunningham and taken to Jail, but was discharged in police court Saturday . morning. The occupant of the room above Kuno huno said he was wakened, by the pitter patter of bullets lodging In the mattress of his bed and was afraid to move until the bombardment had ceased. Kunohuno is unable to speak English, but intimated that microbes were chasing him and he was trying hard to put them out of business. The Duluth man Insisted that he meant no reflection on the house by dreaming that anything animated but himself was occupying his bed. A bit of humor was Injected into the monotony of the land trial In federal court Saturday morning by Leonard Wolf, an aged veteran from the Old Soldiers- home at Qulncy. III. He wai one of the Mann and Todd colonist to Ellsworth, where the usual fornis and preliminaries were rone through with, with free transportation, free hotel keep and free filing fees, as has been repeatedly told by other witnesses. "Ven we vent oud to see der claims," said Wolf, "de only ding we saw was sand hills. Ve got oud of the vagon and had a little fun wld tier prairie dogs. Den ve went to Johnson's place and got a drlng of vater on his vlnd mill. Dot was the first time. Den we went out six months after dot. Ve didn't see any dings dot time, but more prairie dogs. No houses on de land nodlngs but prairie dogs." A third trip was made to Ellsworth. The question Jrose as to who should pay the railroad fare on this trip and on this point the witness said: "I didn't pay my fare and I wouldn't. When we got to Ellsworth we met Jameson, like de odder times, and he said howdy do, boys, I'm expecting you. I asked him vas my house built on my land, and he said the weather had been so bad dot dey couldn't build dem. but the man vas dere now and was I going to build dem houses. I nerer went out on the land again. I didn't ever Intend to live on it and wouldn't If dey would give me a hundred tousand square miles of It." Affidavit Bears Hie Kame. In the cross-examination Wolf, when asked about his signature to an affidavit procured from him In September last said: "I expect I wrote It, but 1 can't read very good: my glasses are not good. You fellers BANK ROBBER CAUSES DEATH arrounded, He Refuses to Surrender Intll Innocent Person Is Killed by glint. r 3 C 3 C Continuance of Derger's Great 3 1 1 fin r n na 'Z2 I 3 OF GREAT BEND, Kn., Dec. g.-After a daring attempt here at I o'clock this morn ing to rob the J. V. Brlnkman company bank single-handed, a man who gave hi name as George A. Lewis of Kansaa City was surrounded and surrendered. Bud Westfall, a driver for the Wells-Fargo Ex press company, was killed by a shot fired by one of the pursuers. Lewis walked Into the bank a few min utes after It opened this morning and, pointing a revolver at A. E. Taylor, the cashier, ordered the latter to throw up his hands. In an Instant a clerk dodged Into the vault and set off the burglar alarm. Lewis fled Immediately and darted up an alley. A crowd of men and boys were soon close behind him In pursuit, and, seeing himself being hemmed In, the robber darted up the stairs In the Wells-Fnrgo building, two blocks from the bank. On the second floor he locked himself In a room and for an hour defied arrest. Several shots were fired Into the room in an attempt to dislodge the robber. One bullet struck and Immediately killed West- t fall, who was In the express office on the street floor. Finally, after parleying for an hour with his pursuers, Lewis sur rendered and was taken to the county Jail, j Officers believe that the name of Lewis Is fictitious. He said that he came here from Chicago to do the Job. The transaction In the bank consumed but a few minutes' time. Taylor handed over $3&0 In bills to the robber. The money was recovered when Lewis was takon to Jail. Cashier Taylor, revolver In hand, led are Judges and lawyers and I am only a the chaae after tne robber. The room !n LIGHT FINE FOR EX-CONVICT Trivial Penalty Imposed on Negro Who Ilns Served Terms In State Prisons. After being put through a severe crcss questloning by the detectives, Ellis Harris, a young colored porter, formerly employed at the Omaha club, confessed to having stolen an autbmatlc revolver, valued at $17, from tho overcoat pocket of a guest at the club. Harris pleaded guilty to tho crime In police court Saturday morning and was fined $3 and costs. The revolver was recovered Friday afternoon by Detectives Ferris and Dunn from where It had been hidden in the boiler room at the club. Harris Is a shifty negro who served a year for burglary committed in Omaha, and has also served several terms for thefts of bicycles about three years ago. During his youth he was confined In a Missouri reform school. COSTS VOTKXHG) TO TIT, The ment'on of sulphur will recall to many of us the early days when our mothers and grandmother gave us our dally dose of sulphur and molasses every spring and fall. , It was the universal spring and fall "blood purifier," tonic and cure-all, and. mind you, this old-fashioned remedy was not without rosrlt. The Idea was food, but the remedy was crude and unpalatable, and a large quan tity had to bs taken to get any effect. Nowadays we get all the beneficial ef fects of sulphur In a palatable, concen trated form, so that a single grain Is far more effective that a tablespoonful of the crude sulphur. In recent years research and experiment have prove i that the best sulphur for medicinal use la that obtained from Cal cium (Calcium Sulbhlde) and sold in drug stores -under the name of Stuart's Calcium Wafers. They are small chocolate coatel ' pellets and contain the active medicinal principle of sulphur in a highly con centrated, effective form. Few people are aware of the value of this form of sulphur In restoring and maintaining bodily vigor and health sulphur acts directly on the liver and excretory organs and purifies and enriches the blood by the prompt elimination of waste material: Our grandmothers knew this when they dosed us with sulphur and molasses every spring and fall, but the crudity and lm purity of ordinary flowers of sulphur were often worse than the disease, and cannot compare with the modern con centrated preparations of sulphur, of which Stuart's Calcium Wafers Is un doubtedly the beat and most widely used. They are the natural antidote for liver and 'kidney "troubles and cure constipa tion and purify the blood In a way that jften surprises patient and physician Hike. Dr. R. M. Wllklna. while experimenting with sulphur remedies, soon found that the sulphur from Calcium was superior to my other form. He says: ."For. liver, kidney and blood troubles, especially when resulting from constipation or malaria, I nave been . surprised at the results ob jured from Stuart's Calcium Wafers. Iq patients suffering from bolls and pim ples and even deep-seated carbuncles, I have repeatedly seen them dry up end lisappear In four or live days, leaving the ikln clear and smooth. Although fctnai i s Calcium Wafers la a proprietary artlcl nnd sold by druggists and for that reason tabooed by many physicians, yet I know f nothing so safe and reliable for con- it nation, liver and kidney troubles and ! i, lally In all forms of skin diseases as his remedy. At any rate peopi w no are tired of tills, cathartics and so-called blood 'purifiers" will rind In Stuart's Calcium aafura, a far safer, more palatable and ffeutlve preparation. gend ysur name ana a4rif today for k free tral pacta and see fer your 1I.

He la here in the In terests of Immigration and in attendance at the meeting of land agents of the Burlington. Friday Mr. Bhumway, In telling of the strides of progreaa in the North Platte valley, said: "Snow and cold weather caught us a little early this fall, but only a few belated beets and potatoes suffered loss. Our sugar beets are fine and we anticipate a big factory at home next year. Recently a special containing financiers and sugar magratea rested In Scott's Bluff, whllo two days were spent In speeding In autos over the level tablelands and In viewing the canal work and the thousands of acres of fine lands which are to be watered next year, and the products now being marketed.

John Wright and Nettle Miles, colored, who are charged with having robbed Den nis Sullivan of Corning, la., of $50 Thurs day night, were given a preliminary ex amination In police court Saturday and bound over for trial In the district court under bonds of $600 each. The robbery took place at the home of Mary Spencer, S15 North Thirteenth street, who Is also Implicated In the robbery, but was too sick to appear. When Sullivan discovered that he had been robbed he held up the two women and Wright at the point of a revolver and forced them to disgorge $25, but was caught off his guard In turn and held up by the trio with his own revolver. Sullivan was released on his personal bonds to appear when the case Is called for trial. Door. Ignorant Dutchman. If I read It the other fellow (referring to Mr. Rush, the government attorney) will make a fuss about It and I don't want to make any more trouble. I am 76 years old the 15th of next April, and I don't want to make any trouble." Robert Johnson of Qulncy, 111., was an other of the old soldier witnesses of the Mann and Todd party who told practically the same story as all of the Qulncy, Ill witnesses. In his cross-examination he said: "My understanding of the talk that I had with Jameson was that the lands I entered were not capable of cultivation, but were wholly grazing lands. I made my entry In good faith and Intended to comply with the law as I understood It." Out for the Fees. On his re-direct examination he was tusked by Mr. Rush: "Would you have entered this land had not the filing been paid?" "No, sir, I wouldn't." R. C. Noleman, an attorney, formerly re siding at Alliance, but now of Loa Angeles, was an Important witness of Saturday forenoon. He testified to having certain conversations with Bartlett Richards rela tive to soldiers' declaratory statements prior to July 17, 1903. An objection was made to this witness testifying by the defense, because the wit ness had been employed by Mr. Richards as an attorney. In reply to the question on this point by Mr. Hall, the witness said: "I was employed by Mr. Richards as an attorney." The court sustained the objection so far as to what the witness should testify to as an attorney for Mr. Richards. Mr. Rush When did you have your first talk with Mr. Richards? Wltness-Thls was the first time Mr. Richards and I talked together on any business matters as en attorney. The counsel for the defense strenuously objected to the witness disclosing any pro fessional services he rendered to Mr. Rich ards. Signed as Asrent. The changed declaratory statements In which the name of F. M. Walcott as agent for the entryman hud been erased and that of R. C. Noleman substituted were shown the witness, who said: which the robber barricaded himself was occupied by Mrs. Anna Tyler ss a millinery store. Lewis told Mrs. Tyler that he had robbed a bank, that a crowd was after him and begged her to hide him. Instead she fled In terror and the man locked and barred the door. After he had surrendered he was followed to the Jail by an excited crowd. Cries of "Lynch him!" were fre quent, and B. W. Taylor, father of the bank cashier, attempted to reach the man and attack him. It was with difficulty that the robber was landed In Jail. There he first said his name was George A. Lewis of Kansas City nnd then that it was George A. West and that he had come here from Chicago on Thursday last. The robber Is 20 years old, weighs ISO pounds and Is six feet tall. He has light hair and blue eyes and Is well dressed. He admitted that he had not given his correct name. He said he had made contributions to eastern mag azines and papers, but his matter had been rejected and he had become despondent. He cried as he told his story.
