The man of means, the man of fortune, the man of stand ing and the man of influence, nine times out of ten, can attribute his success to a wise investment in real estate. More fortunes have been accumulated by the purchase of real estate than all other investments combined. Take any community and count the rich men, and the majority of them in every instance made their money by buying real estate and holding it for an advance —it is as certain as night follows day.

Many of the wheat ranchers believe they make a mistake in holding their grain when it was at the dollar mark, as prices have tumbled to from 83 to 86 cents. Millers in the Inland Em pire do not expect a raise until next spring, the basis for this being that the farmers in the Canadian north west are cutting a bumper crop and the fact that Rusian and Danubian countries are ready to ship to Eu rope. Ccrman Emperor Reviews Battleships Berlin, Aug. 30. —A great navy pageant to mark the close of the ex tensive summer maneuvers, which for more than a month past have been ■in progress in the Baltic sea under the command of Prince Henry of Prusia, took place today off Swine munde, where the entire German fleet was reviewed by Emperor William. Forty battleships and armored cruis ers of the first class took part in the review.

The Skjel Case And the Real "Yellow Peril" THE case of Miss Elsie Sigel of New York, whose murder by a member of New York's Chinese colony has almost stirred up a race war, suggests that young Ameri can women who go about the task of educating and Christianizing China men take some dreadful risks. The opium dens which infest the large cities of the country, where Chi nese have formed colonies, constitute a comparatively new danger to Ameri can morality and civilization. That the American Sunday school, an insti tution which in general is above re proach and which has so much to do with turning out young men and wom en who are equal, mentally, morally and physically, to the duties of citi zenship, motherhood and child rearing —that this institution should be the means of introducing au intolerable vice and leading many to become vic tims of the opium habit seems almost beyond belief. Yet it is shown to be true In the tragedies, the mistaken and ill judged marriages or unconventional and illegal alliances that have come about in consequence of the associa tions between Chinamen and American young women in such mission work. The conditions which have been re vealed by developments Jn the Sigel case and by somewhat similar episodes that have preceded it have created a strong sentiment to the effect that men alone should do missionary work among the Chinese in this country. The opium traffic has been abolished by imperial decree in China itself. Yet in the United States, where the traffic CONSUL GENERAL WEE CHOW—SCENE IN A CHINESE KESTAI'BANT. has for some time been under the bau of the law, the habit of smoking opium is ou the increase, it is said, and the vice finds its victims among the high est and supposedly best classes of so ciety. It is charged that the young wo men who undertake the education and Christianizing of Chinese run in much danger of being themselves made the victims of vices which are common among these oriental people, the influ ence of the Celestials being insidious and their wiles so cunning as to be hard to withstand. Uuce under the control of the Asiatic bypuotizer and his '(lope" the fair missionary worker finds it hard to retrace tiu> path back to health, morality and respectability. It was one of the victims of the opium habit, a woman who had once been a respected member of a Chris tian church and who was led astray by her associations with Chinese in Sunday school work, who wrote thus: "Every chinaman tries to get his teacher into some corner of the room as far away from the other groups as possible. The pupil is learning to read from a primer. As the lesson goes on their chairs are moved until their faces are so close together the girl can feel the breath of the Chinaman ou her cheek. Their glances meet many times during the 'lesson.' His eyes are al ways fastened on her face. After that it's only a question of months when she gets to be the same kind of opium lend 1 am." That au innocent and unsuspecting girl could be brought under the influ ence of that dreaded drug, opium, and doped as effectively and ruinously as if she bad herself "hit the pipe" sim ply by absorbing the fumes of a Chi naman's opium laden breath was news to many people before Charles Krug, the superintendent of the Chinese Sun day school of the Church of the Stran gers, New York, issued orders that ta bles should be placed between each Chinese pupil aud his American teach er. The Cbiuameu when they found that the order was not to be with drawn deserted the school in a body. The better class of Chinese in this country are alive to the ill repute brought upon their countrymen by sases like that of Miss Sigel, and the Chinese legation at the national capi tal has shown that it has no sympathy with vice by sendiug out orders to con suls throughout the United States to render all possible aid toward the ap prehension of those sought by the po lice. The consul general at New York, Wee Chow, has been especially active in rendering aid in the apprehension of those responsible for or connected with the death of Miss Sigel. Another Prohibition Debate.

Elliott the Leavenworth Cubs recent ly closed a very successful baseball season. It is true that not as many games have been played as might have been, but when you take into consideration that they have defeat ed everything in the surrounding country and that there were no other teams to play it is a different mat ter. Out of some fifteen or sixteen games played this summer the Cubs lost only two games. That's not so worse. This has undoubtedly been the most active and successful year in baseball that Leavenworth has ever witnessed and still it is only the be ginning. Plans are being laid for a more strenuous season next year than was ever before attempted, and we READ OUR Signed Address have every reason to believe that the prophesies will be fulfilled. The present grounds were purchas ed some time ago by a nfcmber .of our citizens and arrangementh are under way now to improve th.c grounds and build a fence. Next year the Cubs will blossom out stronger than ever. Remember, the are only hibernating now and will, with the help of two or three new players (possibly salaried men), sweep everything in the country, bar ring the leagues. Keep your eye on the Cubs, they'll grow.—JLeavenworfTi Echo. Take warning ana save money. On September 1 coaster brakes will ad vance 25c. J. J. Eyer, 14 N. Mis sion. ••• s
