Mrs. Bruce assisted the presi- dent's wife “receive.” _ February 22 (George Washington's birthday) was just the day for the writing of Booker T, Washington's protest against lynchings, especially mecent burnings at the stake. The fact that one of the victims was a woman evidently ‘roused Booker to action. It is a good, strong protest, too, and is-bound to have an effect for good whether it arouses to ac- ftion the white pulpit and press, o: not, This is certainly one thing the “wizard of Tuskegee” has done, that entitles him to the unstinted praise ‘of a grateful people. - |, White laborers in a camp on’a rail- oad in Arkansas, near a town named Bokashe, undertook on last week Whursday evening, to drive, Afro- ‘american laborers from the town. Whe result of the battle was: two twhite men killed and one seriously qwounded. Two Afro-Americans were also “seriously wounded.”. Such re- Bults are the only things that teach Southern white brutes much needed Jessons, ‘They will, too, eventually iafford our people of that section of the country, the relief from such per- secution, they have long been entitled to, and which the law ought, but sig- mally fails, to afford. } The Maryland senate and house, Jed on by United States Senator Gor- ‘man, of that state, have recently passed, respeotively, a measure pro- widing for. submitting to a vote of the people of that state, an amendment to the Maryland constitution which qwill practically eliminate the Afro- ‘American vote of that state, and a “Jim Crow” car bill. This last must fand doubtless will) pass the senate Aefore it becomes a law while the other measure has passed both ‘ranches of the Maryland assembly. Whus progresses the work of disfran- ahisement and debasement, while the Xational Afro-American Council, Na- tional Suffrage League and the great gpass of our people slumber on se- mwenely. sree ' EEE ase MR. ANDREW CARNEGIE, BRAVE ~ AND OUTSPOKEN FOR _.» JUSTICE. a The utterances of Andrew Carne- gie, at Hampton Institute, a few weeks ago, are so masterful and wel- séome that we are impelled to receive @hent as the harbinger of a growing wentiment among the great men of athe nation. Fearless and unshaken am his convictions of right and duty, he vindicates the righteousness of his ‘cause upon the terms, of the Gospel ef Christ. His is not a new doctrine, Dnt: it carries with ite new inspira- tion, because few Americans of this itype have shown themselves so broad and generous as to condescend to ad- sroecate measures which are at once saving power for the healing of the mation. Let a thousand strong men equally nerved with the spirit of the (patriot, dare declare the truth as they “gee it and eventually another thous- “and will be heard, the echo of whose ssoices will be wafted in glorious tri- -mmph from every quarter of our eountry. Mr. Carnegie has touched ‘the keynote of a doccrine not new, ‘ut one which involves the principles of eternal truth and justice. A hun- @red years from today, and Ameri- ans may well wonder, that measures ‘so ample in the highest Christian ethics required vindicagion, but hear tthe great man as he speaks, like one fearing God rather than man, he ac- eepts no compromise, but tells his eountrymen that a wise policy seems brious, Says he, “We should all ‘agree that the keeping down of mil- ions of people, even if successful, pwould be destructive to civilized so- iety, avd a menace to the state, To lareat them as if they had already gicen would be equally so; therefore an educational test for the suffrage iebould be adopted, and strictly ap- plied, ond made applicable to whiter and blacks alike, for ignorance in the “ fs deplorable.” One eau hard- y realize the full import and sig- , of the above language, but dns 6 thousand times been verified ja & srvel end bitter experience, which but tells of the suffering and woe and the terrible tortures and outrages induced through the ignor- ance and malignity of vindictive white men in the south. Ignorance Is Qppalling; it is a crime against the nation; because it has wrought: un- told mischief to the government and it has been brought about through the exercise of authority unwarrant- ed, and placed in the hands of a class whose intolerable ignorance remains even yet as an element of dread to the republic. ‘The man who ignores the law or who is so ignorant as to have no fear of law, may well be termed a dangerous citizen. Pity that Americans do not more sensi- bly realize the fact, that ignorance in rebellion to law is the source of our greatest sins, and our mightiest of- fences against good government. Un- der the trying circwmstances by which our government exists today and in the face of the unjust discrim- imations which confront the Afro- American on account of his color. Mr. Andrew Carnegie has rendered @ gracious service to the cause of fair dealing and even handed justice, when he spoke for the political free- dom of all our citizens as guaranteed under our national constitution. THE SPRINGFIELD LYNCHING. Ee ee ee ee Ee cuse for it! True, the Kentucky pro- duct, Dickerson, was bad and not only shot his mistress, but also killed the white officer who went with him to protect him, while getting his clothes from their rooms.’ And yet not even this—so brutal an assault on a woman, and wanton a murder of an officer—does not excuse the posi- tion taken and maintaned by the sheriff, mayor, local militiamen and mobocrats, that resulted in the lynch- ing and consequent mob violence— destruction of property—any more than it justifies the crimes of the mob—THE SHAME OF OHIO! There was plenty of time and forces at hand or near, to have prevented any mob demonstration whatever. That no effort to do so was to be made, was generally known. This much is clear. Therefore the result—beside the lynching and its baneful effect up- on the entire community—is the property fire loss to the city and county of about $15,000, and easily $10,000 more resultant from the suit under our Ohio anti-lynching law, to be instituted against the county by the heirs of the victim. The only lynching in eight years except that fat Urbana, and the only lynching since the Ohio supreme court declar- ed constitutional our. mob violence or anti-lynching law, is this Springfield affair. Before the passage of the act in 1806, in the five or six years pre- ceding, there were a half dozen lynch- ings and mob violence attempts. The Urbana lynching finally cost Cham- paign county more than $10,000 ($5,000 going to the heirs of “Click” Mitchell); the Logan county Novem- ber ducking in pond of three per- sons, one ® woman (white), cost that county about $2,700; mob violence during a strike a year or so ago, cost this (Cuyahoga) county, $1,250 week before last—all under our Ohio anti- lynching law! No wonder lynching and mob violence have been kept down to a minimum during the past eight years, and will be in the future. When Clarke county, in which is the city of Springfield, has done with the results of its contemptible work of last Monday and Tuesday nights, all Ohio will have seeured another lesson as the result of its(Springfield’s) prop- erty and indemnity losses, as well as the baneful effect of the lynching upon that community, that will an- swer for the next ten years as the Urbana affair's results sufficed forthe last seven, Anent this Springfiele lynching, the Cleveland Daily Press, well says: Seen sae “For half a night a sheriff and his deputies resist (2) a mob that is bat- tering down the jail doors to get at a Negro, and a militia company, oar anmory is only a few steps away, never makes its appearance at all. | “And this is a militia company with ‘a record, too. It is the same that ‘hurried by special train to Urbana during the famous ‘Click’ Mitchell ‘riot, marched to the besieged jail ‘and then, ‘in order that the mob might not be inflamed to violence by the presence of milifia,’ marched back to its train and went home again, leaving the terrorized town in the undisputed power of the mov that within an hour dragged its vic- tim from the jail and hanged him. “With this record back of it there is little wonder that the Springfield militia failed to respond to the sher- iff's call while a jail was being bat- tered in, a Negro lynched and. the torch applied to Negro dwellings. “The fault is not in the militia alone, but in a depraved public sen- timest that tolerates such outrages upon the law and decency.” A Marriage Surprise.

Wilkesbarre was completely cut off yesterday from the rest of the Wyoming valley and tor miles up and down the river the lowlands are com- pletely covered with water and ice. On the west bank of the river, be- tween here and Kingston, the water is up to the first floors and many houses are surrounded with huge piles of ice. The conditions at Ply- mouth and other west side towns up and down the river resemble a great lake, the water rushing through the streets and surrounding = many houses. ‘The Market street road be- tween here and Kingston is under six feet of water. The railroads are severe sufferers. The Delaware, Lackawanna & West- ern and the Pennsylvania tracks south of here are uader water and: trains are annulled on those divisions. ~The gorge south of this city is hold- ing back the great body of water which is coming down from the up- per regions, and unless a break soon occurs a more critical danger point is feared. Many mines and factories haye been fiooded. Lancaster, Pa. March 9,—Late Tuesday afternoon the danger point on the lower Susquehanna river shift- ed from Bainbridge, Columbia and Washington borough to Safe Harbor, the lower parts of which are prac- tically submerged. About 3 o'clock the great gorge at Washington borough broke, hurling tons of ice and an immense volume of water against the Turkey Hill gorge, a few miles below. The latter gave way before the tremendous impact. A new jam then formed just below Safe Harbor where Conestega creek enters the Susquehanna. Back water rushed up the creek, demolishing the Pennsylvania railroad stone bridge. Harrisburg, Pa., March 9.—Condi- toins in the flooded territory here are improved and the indications are there will be no further trouble. The industries in South Harrisburg and Steelton will not be able to re- sume operations until the river reaches its normal stage. There is much suffering in High Spire and Middletown, Many families have lost all their household goods and are un- able to reach their homes on account of high water. | Harrisburg, Pa., March 10.—After- ‘math flood conditions are so serious in this vicinity that Burgess Whisler, of Middletown, has asked aid of this city for the relief of the people who have been rendered homeless. The citizens have responded and in addi- tion, the Dauphin county commis- sioners have appropriated $300 for immediate relief. Over half a mile of the town is covered with ice. Be- tween 700 and 800 houses are sur- rounded and can only be reached by entering the second-story windows. Many houses have been entirely ruin- ed, while others have been lifted from their foundations and their con- tents lost. _ Wilkesbarre, Pa., March 10.—The city of Wilkesbarre and the Wyom- ing valley was in a turmoil yester- day. The mighty flow of water spread out north and south, east and west, making the north branch of the Susquehanna river a vast lake, sweep- ing in its path whatever there was to impede and the scene was even more terrifying than on Tuesday. Industries all along the entire stream from Pittston to Nanticoke are closed down on account of the water invading many places, and in many places water is flowing into the mines. At Plymouth the entire business “section of the town is under water. — Summiag up the situation in brief, over a million dollars’ worth of prop- erty has been destroyed in the Wyom- ing valley and over 2,000 families ren- TERRIBLE CRASH. Six Men Killed and Two Trains Par. tally Destroyed by Fire are the Re- sults of a Collision. ipso centre t in Sha kei ped Birmingham, Ala., March 9.—Six persons killed, three fatally hurt, two less seriously injured and a limited express train and a freight train par- tially destroyed by fire, comprise the result of a head-on collision yester- day on the Alabama Great Southern railway near Kewaine, 17 miles north of Meridian, Miss. ‘The trains involved were the South bound limited on the Queen & Cres: cent system, and a northbound South- ern railway freight, both trains using the same tracks between Meridian and York. The express train was al- most three hours late and was run- ning at a speed of 60 miles an hour. Immediately after the crash the wreckage took fire, the mail car, combination baggage and express car and the smoker being destroyed, as were also six freight cars. Bot engines were totally wrecked. /. San Juan, Porto Rico, March 9.—A letter received here from San Pedro de Macoris, Santo Domingo, dated February 29, gives details of the bom- bardment of San Pedro de Macoris, February 27, by the Dominican war- ships Presidente and Estrella, The captain of the Presidente, a Spaniard, and 60 men on board of her were kill- ed, only six of the crew escaping without injuries, In all 74 men were Killed and 25 were wounded on the two ships.

At the appearance of the mob and the crack of the revolvers the in- ates and hangers-on at the “levee” began to rush from the buildings. All escaped in safety, running to the police station, where they applied for protection and were sheltered. With everybody frighten- ed from the buildings, the mob brought into play the waste it had gathered in the railroad yards, and three fires were started inside the buildings entered by the three di- visions of the mob. ‘the mob then withdrew to the railroad tracks to witness the pyrotechnics resulting from their torches, When the flames were under way the fire department was called by the police. There are three fire engines in ‘the city, but none of them responded to the alarm from the “levee.” ‘Only the hook and ladder companies and hose trucks came out. ‘The pressure of the water service was being relied upon, the firemen did not work themselves in- to perspiration to save the “levee.” ‘There was but one point to which they gave serious attention, that was the saloon of Charley Bray, white, at the end of the “levee.” He had never given the police a call, and his place was not even scorched by the flames, while the five buildings occupied by the Negro saloons, resorts and gam- bling hells were completely destroy- ed, There had been about 150 Negroes in the buildings burned, but many of them left Tuesday, Thee following will show that not only were the firemen, policemen, seal militiamen. sheriff and every one else “winking at the mob,” but also and eyen the chief executive of the city, the mayor: “Un- less these ‘dives’ are vacated, the mob will burn them as soon as the militia is withdrawn, but there need be no fear of violence tonight, or as long as the soldiers are here.” Thus spoke Mayor Bowlus on Wednesday, He tells the mob, indirectly, of course, what to do and when to do it—if a certain thing does not come to pass, a thing he had power to have accom- plished at any time he saw fit to do Io, before the lynching. ‘Thus, ac- cording to his own interview, making | the gathering of a mob unnecessary. Fine (?) mayor that! It is perfectiy | clear that practically the whole white | population of the city was in sympa- | thy with the mob, ‘This is why Diek- erson was lynched when it was plain- ly apparent that he could have been saved from the mob, and why the “levee” was burned with hardly a feint of the fire department to save it. ‘There was trouble over the posses- sion of the remains, but it was finally settled before any publicity was giv- en the matter. Rey. J. H. Frazier, of Harrodsburg, Ky., 2 brother-in-law of the dead man, arrived in the city Wednesday, and called to see Coro- ner Thomas, He claimed the remains and said that he would hold the eoun- ty responsible under Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio anti-lynching law | for the death of Dickerson, Later Mr. Frazier made the discovery that A. Gross, the undertaker, had’ mamufae- tured’ a bill of $20 against the _re- mains, He had secured Undertaker Dave Wilborn to take charge of the remains and prepare them for burial and Wilborn urged him not to settle with Gross. Coroner Thomas refused to allow the remains to go out of his possession unless the bill was set- tled, as he had contracted it. Rev. Frazier finally settled and the re- mains were privately interred in Fern Cliffe cemetery, velatives only being present. This (lynching and mob violence) affair, thus far, has resulted in $500 damage to the court house and jail? $15,000 fire loss on “levee,” nearly all of which falls on white property owners, and untold shame and dis- grace to the city, county, state and country.

Philadelphia, Pa.—fhomas Hmer- son, colored, who was stabbed in the heart last week Monday by his sweet- heart, has been the subjest of an un- usual operation. His heart was lifted out of the body and six stitches were taken to close the big gash made by the Negress’ knife. The organ was replaced and Emerson is recovering. After the assault Emerson walked without assistance to the hospital, a distance of five blocks, and was put under the influence of ether as soon as the wound had been examined. On the operation table the heart was ex- posed by a long incision which neces- sitated the breaking of several ribs. The operating surgeons inserted two fingers and lifted eut the heart, It was drawn clear cut of the trunk, yet it went on with its work with al- most normal steadiness and regular- ity. The cut was a large one and re- quired six stitches, ‘The cleara was opened and a gathering ‘of blood re- moved, After the wound had been dressed Emerson was extremely weak but is rallying slowly and the sur- geons believe he will recover, ad aan lk Oe ee Columbus, 0.—The house of repre- sentatives was thoroughly amused on Tuesday with the “tragic” efforts of | Representative Eubanks, of Cleveland, }to make a speech on the barber Dill, which “had died ‘aborning.” ‘The cor- ‘respondents of daily newspapers in Cleveland and members “egged” him on to keep the fun agoing.

Sked St. Before a meeting of the Cuyahoga League of Republican Clubs held at the Tippecanoe club rooms last evening, several speakers scathingly arraigned the mob which has inaugurated a reign of terror at Springfield and resolutions in denunciations of the lynching of Richard Dickerson were adopted. More than half of the audience was made up of colored men, delegates from the four colored republican clubs of this city. Sidney B. Thompson, in a divorce petition filed Tuesday, said that he is held up to public ridicule because his wife, Gertrude, has beaten him. He charged her with extreme crelldy. She horsewhipped him while he was in bed, he said, threatened to kill him with a loaded revolver, struck him with a "black jack" in Forest Street armory, called *zim* names in a saloon, ordered him to leave home, and finally took his household goods and left him. "Poor Syd." Three men, John William, of Etna street, Charles Leonard, of Oregon street, and William Axe, of Judd street, were interrupted while entering for burglary through Mrs. Fannie Blackburn's cellar. No. 30 Howe street, last week Friday evening; were driven out with a club in the hands of that lady, and down the street into a policeman's arms. Mrs. Blackburn caught them early in their job, as they had secured nothing but a lemon squezer. Their case was continued to Tuesday morning. Rev. R. L. Dickerson closed Sunday one of the grandest and most successful year's work in the history of Cory chapel. The members and friends hope that he will be returned to them. Conference is convening at Lexington, Ky. Mrs. J. S. Thomas is slowly recovering from a rheumatic relapse. She has been greatly missed from her place in church and Sabbath school. The church clubs representing states raised $86. The largest amount was raised by the "Mississippi" club. Rev. Bennett, of North Carolina, will fill the pulpit during Rev. Dickerson's absence at conference. A splendid reception was tendered the pastor, Rev. R. L. Dickerson, by the members and friends of Cory chapel, on Monday evening, the occasion being the first anniversary of his pastorate. The program opened with a chorus, Mrs. Jennie Van Patty then recited. Hon. H. C. Smith spoke of the pastorate, saying that Rev. Dickerson found disorganization, division, a heavy debt of $1,370, with compound interest, and many other minor ones, when he assumed the charge assigned him by Bishop Walden last March; that he had restored harmony, built up the church and improved it 50 per cent; re-established its good reputation, cared for; all its beneficiaries, and had rendered its association and representation with all ministers and organizations, pleasant. Then followed with a race historical talk that roused the large audience to the highest pitch of enthusiasm, drawing merited praise from both Elders Dickerson and Dandridge, who followed him. The editor of The Gazette also called attention to the splendid work of Shiloh's painstaking pastor and urged Cory's members to petition the bishop for the return of their pastor for another year's service at least. Rev. E. D. Dandridge followed with felicitous remarks; a duet by Mesdames Van Patty and E. Hall, her sister, and a recitation by Mr. Coleman, finished the excellent program. W. G. Brown gave the yearly church report in a few well chosen words and the beloved pastor, Rev. R. L. Dickerson, made the closing remarks, and they were fine. The anniversary closed with an informal social in the basement of the edifice, where refreshments were served. Mr. Bullet had charge of the program and acquitted himself admirably.

WASHINGTON PROTESTS Against Lyr things-Three, One a Woman, Burned at the Stake-The Worst Effect. Birmingham, Ala.—The Age-Herald published the following letter from Booker T. Washington: Within the last fortnight three members of my race have been burned at the stake; of these one was a woman. Not one of the three was charged with any crime even remotely connected with the abuse of a white woman. In every case murder was the sole accusation. All of these burnings took place in broad daylight, and two of them occurred on Sunday afternoon, in sight of a Christian church. These burnings, without trial, are in the deepest sense unjust to my race; but it is not this injustice alone which stirs my heart. These barbarous scenes, followed, as they are, by the publication of the shocking details, are more disgraceful and degrading to the people who inflict punishment than those who receive it. If the law is disregarded when a Negro is concerned, it will soon be disregarded when a white man is concerned, and, besides, the rule of the mob destroys the friendly relations which should exist between the races and injures and interferes materially with the prosperity of the communities concerned. Worst of all, these outrages take place in communities where there are Christian churches, in the midst of their Sunday schools, their Christian Endeavor societies and Young Men's Christian associations, where collections are taken for sending missionaries to Africa and China and the rest of the so-called heathen world. Is it not possible for pulpit and press to speak out against these burnings in a manner that shall arouse a public sentiment that will compel the mob to cease insulting our courts, our governments and our legal authority, causing shame and ridicule upon our Christian civilization? (Signed) BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Tuskegee, Ala., Feb. 22, 1904. "The Hon. George A. Myers" and "Uncle Tom's Cabin." George A. Myers, one of the "big" Negroes of Ohio, and often referred to by such newspapers as the Freeman and Colored American as "the Hon. George A. Myers," tells the white people through the columns of the Cleveland Plain Dealer just the size of the estimate he places upon himself as a high-toned, dignified Negro. We clip from that paper what purports to be Mr. Myers' own words, as follows: "At the state and national conventions which he attended during the past ten years I also attended in the double capacity as delegate and barber to Senator Hanna. I took my own razors along with me and shaved him in his room." There was no disgrace in shaving the senator or anybody else, if by that Mr. Myers could earn a few honest nickels, but his eagerness to boast of his menial position through the public press when most people regarded him more as a personal friend of the late senator than as a servant, shows how silly and foolish some reputed "great" men can be when in search of notoriety with a solemn tinge to it. Thousands of white people who had been regarding Myers as the friend of Senator Hanna and a politician, will now look upon him as the white people of the south look upon their good and faithful servants—no more—and Negroes all over the country who had respected and loved Mr. Myers as standing almost as near the late senator as did Col. Dick, will hereafter think of Mr. Myers and then remember "Uncle Tom's Cabin."—Chicago Conservator. A NEW K. OF P. LODGE.

"You don't mean McAdoo," answered the man addressed. "It's Mikado, accent on the second syllable; 'Mikado,' so." "Ah, gwan," said the man with the whiskers. "Ye can't fool me. It's McAdoo. Spellin' don't change it. It's the same as McAdoo, th' pleece c'missioner. There's no fighters in the wurlrd loike th' Irish." "But the Mikado is not Irish," persisted the other man. "He's a Japanese, and his family has been Japanese for 2,500 years. His name isn't 'Mikado,' simply is a title, like 'Emperor.'" "I don't believe it," said the man with the whiskers. But if he ain't Irish he fights like an Irishman. How could a McAdoo help fighting?"—N. Y. Press. A Physician's Advice. Yorktown, Ark., March 7th.-Dodd's Kidney Pills must not be confounded with the ordinary patent medicine. They are a new discovery, a specific for all diseases of the Kidneys and have been accepted by physicians only after careful tests in extreme cases. Dr. Leland Williamson, of this place, heartily endorses Dodd's Kidney Pills "as a remedy for the various forms of the diseases of the Kidneys, pains in the back, soreness in the region of the Kidneys, foul-smelling urine and cloudy or thickened condition of the urine, discharges of pus or corruption, Gout, Rheumatism, Inflammation and Congestion of the Kidneys and all kindred complaints." Continuing, he says: "I could mention many cases in which I have prescribed Dodd's Kidney Pills with success. For instance, Mr. Robert Weeks, farmer, malaria haematuria or swamp fever three times, kidneys weakened, continual pain and soreness in back, which made him very nervous, had a little fever and sometimes chilly. Urine changeable, but generally very high-colored, an old chronic case who had taken much medicine with little effect. After taking Dodd's Kidney Pills about six weeks, he was entirely cured and had gained fifteen pounds in weight. The last time I saw him, he was the picture of perfect manhood."

The Editor of the Wisconsin Agriculturist, who was one of a party of editors of agricultural papers, took a trip through Canada during the past spring, writes to his paper in the following strain:— The reason of his visiting Canada was to satisfy himself that the reports coming to his paper regarding the wonderful resources of that country were accurate. In view of the wonderful settlement that was going on there, many from this country crossing the line in search of permanent homes, and in view of what he had heard in regard to conditions of soil, water, climate, topography, fuel, grasses, rainfall, markets, etc., and also the influence which these have had on the present and future agriculture, he deemed it necessary to make an extended trip through all of the above territory. In speaking of the Province of Manitoba, he says:— "The Province of Manitoba com- prises within its limits the far-famed "grain-growing valleys of the Assini- boine and Red Rivers. Although called the Prairie Province of Can- ada, Manitoba has large areas of for- ests, numerous rivers and vast water- expansions. "The soil is a rich, deep, mould, or loam, resting on a deep clay sub-soil. It is well adapted to wheat growing, giving a bountiful yield of the finest quality, known the world over as No. 1 hard wheat. During the past ten years the growth of wheat and other grains has steadily increased, until now the production, by 35,000 farmers, reaches 100,000,000 bushels. Of the 23,000,000 arable acres in Manitoba, probably not one-half of it is occupied. Cultivated grasses yield about two tons per acre, and native grasses a ton and a half. "There can be no question but that "dalrying will become a great indust- try throughout the north-west, and "especially cheese making, as the cli- mate is favorable and similar to that "of Ontario. "Crops grown are wheat, barley, "oats, flax, rye, peas, corn, for fodder, "brome, potatoes, roots, etc. The soil "is very fertile, and moisture ample. "The climate is good, and the growing "season, while not quite so long as in "Wisconsin, matures crops as the sun "shines much longer, rising about four "o'clock and shines until about nine "at night. One can easily read a news- "paper at 10 p. m. The long days make "growth fast, and push crops to ma- turity ahead of frost. "The ranching, the wheat growing, and the mixed farming belts all cross over Assiniboia. The yield and the quality of wheat raised along the main line of the Canada Pacific Railway, at such places as Indian Head and its allied districts, have become famous. Its possibilities are shown by the average of tests made at the experimental farm in 1902, when eleven varieties of the most suitable wheat, sown on April the 19th, were cut in 130 days; and yielded 4,314 pounds of straw, and 43 bushels and 2 pounds of grain per acre. Its mixed farming area is excellent, its range cattle, horses and sheep are the equals of any seen in the north-west, and its tree less portion is underlaid with coal. The town of Medicine Hat is heated and illuminated with natural gas. There are abundant deposits of brick, pottery and fire clays." Agents of the Canadian Government will be pleased to mail an Atlas to any one interested, and also all other information regarding railway rates, etc. New Excuse.

IN THE FAR EAST Tokio, March 5.—It is evident that several vessels laden with coal, provisions and other contraband articles have recently effected the passage of Tsugaru strait and succeeded in reaching Vladivostok. St. Petersburg, March 5.—There exists a high authority for the statement that Russia now has reason to feel more tranquil regarding the attitude of Great Britain. The following dispatch, dated March 3, has been received from Gen. Pflug, commanding the Russian forces at Port Arthur: "All is quiet at Port Arthur and Yin Kow. According to information given by eyewitnesses a Japanese cruiser having three funnels lies near Chemulpo, between islands, having recently sunk there." The reported landing of 2,500 Japanese at Song-Chin, on the east coast of Korea, has been confirmed. JAPANESE BATTLESHIPS BOMBARD VLADIVOSTOK Vladivostok, March 7.—A fleet of five Japanese battleships and two cruisers appeared off this place at 1:25 o'clock Sunday afternoon and bombarded the town and shore batteries for 55 minutes. The fleet approached from the direction of Askold island at the east entrance of Ussuri bay and about 32 miles southeast of Vladivostok. Entering Ussuri bay the enemy formed in line of battle, but did not approach to a closer range than five and one-third miles. They directed their fire against the shore batteries and the town, but no damage resulted, as most of their 200 lyddite shells failed to burst. The Russian batteries, commanded by Gens. Veronezt and Artamonoff, did not reply, awaiting a closer approach of the enemy. The attack resulted in no loss to the Russians, but cost the enemy 200,000 roubles ($100,000) in ammunition. Most of the projectiles were six and 12-inch shells. St. Petersburg, March 7.—Advices from Vladivostok say that the 2,500 Japanese who landed at Plaksin bay, on the east coast of Northern Korea, are advancing toward Musan, (218 miles from Gensan), with the intention of ultimately reaching Hunchun, on the left bank of the Tumen river, about 100 miles west of Vladivostok, and threatening the Russian flank. Yin Kow, March 7.—The removal of the furniture of the police and military quarters at New Chwang, the withdrawal of unnecessary rolling stock and equipment from the New Chwang railway terminus and the removal of silver from the bank indicate an intended evacuation of New Chwang. Russian private letters disclose the fact that in the recent engagements between the Yahu river and Ping Yang the Russians with superior numbers defeated the Japanese, but lost heavily. RUSSIA WILL NOT ALLOW ANY PRIVATEFERING St. Petersburg, March 8.—A message from Viceroy Alexieff says: "The commandant at Vladivostok reports that Sunday's bombardment resulted in no serious damage to the port. The fortress did not return the enemy's fire. One seaman was wounded and one woman was killed. Monday at midday the enemy again entered Ussuri bay and approached the point from which they bombarded the harbor on March 6. They left again, making for the open sea." The Russian authorities have been approached indirectly by American shipping firms desiring authority to fit out privateers to prey on Japanese commerce, but they met with no encouragement. In just what forms these offers came or on whose behalf they were made cannot be ascertained, as the government would not even consider them. The Associated Press is able to announce officially that Russia will not issue letters of marque. London, March 8.—Up to a late hour last evening the Japanese legation here had received no official information regarding the bombardment of Vladivostok. It is believed at Indicted for Embezzlement. Chicago, March 7.—Arthur L. Kemper, president of A. L. Kemper & Co., bankers, at 153 La Salle street, has been indicted by the grand jury on a charge of embezzlement. The amount of the alleged theft is given as $5,000 and the complainants claim that Kemper retained the proceeds of notes sent for collection. Charges were preferred against Kemper two weeks ago, a warrant was issued by Justice Richardson and Kemper was arrested at his office. His case was set for a hearing Saturday, but he did not appear. Killed His Wife. Yorkville, Ill., March 7.—Standing over the body of his victim, Carl Nylen called up the sheriff on the telephone and confessed to having murdered George Pearce, a wealthy farmer. The murderer is now in the county jail. Mrs. Nylen had been acting as Pearcee's housekeeper for some time past. Jealousy is believed to have been the cause of the crime. More Bioting at Prague. Prague, Bohemia, March 7.—Student rioting as renewed here Sunday on a larger scale than that of last week. the legation, however, that the Japanese are now between the Russian cruiser squadron and Vladivostok and there is reason to believe that the Russian squadron is in the vicinity of Possiet bay. Russian official dispatches do not mention this squadron and this fact lends color to the belief that the Japanese warships have shut it out of Vladivostok. London, March 8.—Cabling from Ping Yang, Korea, under date of March 6, a correspondent of the Daily Mail says that 2,000 Russian cavalrymen, with seven guns, retreated last Wednesday through Kusong and Sonchon towards Wiji. RUMORS OF BATTLE AT SEA. London, March 9.—The Daily Telegraph this morning publishes a dispatch from Tokio dated March 7 and saying: "It is reported that the Japanese fleet engaged the Russian Vladivostok squadron at sea yesterday. The result of the engagement is not announced, but it is believed that the Russian ships were destroyed or captured." Tokio, March 9.—The forthcoming visit of Marquis Ito as special ambassador from the emperor of Japan to the emperor of Korea claims general attention. It was originally planned to send a prominent Japanese to Seoul as a permanent resident adviser to the Korean government. The announcement that Marquis Ito is going is a surprise. Tokio, March 9. The Japanese government is considering the advisability of seeking to secure immediately a loan in America and Europe. Although it is estimated that enough bonds can be sold at home to provide sufficient money to prosecute the war for at least a year and a half, and although many Japanese statesmen and financiers believe that Japan is capable of waging war to a conclusion without borrowing a single cent abroad, and have, in a spirit of national pride, counselled that no foreign loan be sought, yet it is felt that there may arise a contingency when money may be seriously needed. VICTORIES FOR JAPS ARE REPORTED London, March 10.—No further news has reached London of the report of the fighting at Port Arthur, or of the fate of the Russian Vladivostok squadron. Up to a late hour last night the Japanese legation here has heard nothing of these reported occurrences, but it is considered significant that the Russian official dispatches make no mention of the Vladivostok cruisers. The news from Washington of the appearance of Japanese forces at Fung Wang Chang, 45 miles northwest of Antung, in Manchuria, and Tashan, a few miles inland from the mouth of the Yalu river, is regarded as most important. According to the Tien Tsin correspondent of the Daily Telegraph the Japanese advanced from the Yalu river, capturing Fung Wang Cheng and drove out the Russians in the vicinity to the Taku Ling eastern pass, and are in force 70 miles east of New Chwang. The Russians, with 35,000 men, are entrenched strongly at Liao Yang and Hai Chwang, where fighting is imminent. Some small engagements already have been fought, the Russians retiring with losses. A dispatch to the Times from Wei-Hai-Wei, dated March 9, says: "It is reported on good authority that a collision between Japanese and Russian troops has occurred near Hai Ju, Korea, (54 miles northwest of Chemubpo), which resulted in the defeat of the Russians." Patti's Tour Is Ended. Memphis, Tenn., March 10.—Mme. Patti arrived in Memphis yesterday from Hot Springs, and left immediately for New York. Passage has been secured for Mme. Patti and her husband for Europe on a steamship leaving New York on Friday next. The singer has ordered all future bookings cancelled. No reason was given out for the sudden discontinuance of the tour. New York, March 8.--More than 2,000 laborers employed on buildings in course of construction in this city, went on strike Monday pending the settlement of difficulties existing between the Mason Builders' association and the Laborers' Protective union. The strike was caused by notices posted on all the buildings controlled by members of the Mason Builders' association to the effect that a resolution had been adopted by that body extending the day from eight to ten hours and reducing the pay for overtime. Kansas City, March 8.—The Kansas City court of appeals decided yesterday that the grain speculative trading on the board of trade is simply gambling, and that the real object of the sale of the "put" contract or the privilege it granted is not to contract for the actual future delivery of wheat, but merely to speculate upon the rise and fall in prices. The decision adds: "The transaction from its inception contemplates nothing more or less than a gambling in differences and is, therefore, a stench in the nostrils of the law." HOW TWO BEAUTIFUL WOMEN ESCAPED DREAD CATARRH BY USE OF PE-RU-NA. Catarrh Robs Women of Health and Beauty. Pe-ru-na Makes Women Healthy and Beautiful. Miss Amanda Johnson. --- Miss Flora Hauser, 1032 S. New Jersey street, Indianapolis, Ind., writes: "I think I must have been troubled with catarrh ever since I was very young, aggravated each time I caught a cold. This did not prove sufficiently serious to be obnoxious until last winter. Then my head and nose were so stopped up that I felt I must do something. Peruna was recommended to me by a friend. I used it for four weeks, and found to my relief that it cured me. I have not had a bit of trouble since. My head is clear, and I can safely affirm that Peruna cured me."—Miss Flora Hauser. Hundreds of Women Cured by Pe-ru-na of Annoying Catarrh. DR. HARTMAN has probably done more than any other physician More than any other physician toward popularizing a means of escape from the facial deformities, such as watery eyes, twisted nose, offensive breath, dry cracked lips, due to the ravaging effects of catarrh. He has made chronic catarrh a lifelong study. His remedy, popularly known as Peruna, is the most famous remedy for catarrh in existence. Probably there is not a man or woman, boy or girl, within the bounds of the United States that has not heard of Peruna. By far the largest majority have used Peruna. The multitude of people that have been cured of chronic catarrh by using Peruna can never be known.

"I write to tell you how much Peruna benefited me. For a number of years I had pain in my head around my eyes, and I thought it was because my eyes needed treatment, so I went to an oculist and had glasses fitted to my eyes and wore them for some time, but felt no relief whatever. In fact, I felt worse than before, and came to the conclusion that the trouble was not with my eyes, but with my head and that it must be catarrh. As so many of my friends had used Peruna with benefit for this trouble, I thought I would try it. I was not sorry that I did so, for in a short time I began to improve, and in four weeks my eyes were in splendid condition, my general health was much improved and all the catarrh of the head was gone.
