XI, No. 1. Louisiana IOWA AT THE LOUISIANA PUR. CHASE EXPOSITION. The Iowa building has a beautiful location in that part of the grounds assigned to state buildings. It has as s immediate neighbors Kansas, New ork, Minnesota, Massachusetts, Ar- kansas, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, Missouri, Mississippi, Indian Territory, Ohio, Missouri, Wisconsin and Utah. The Iowa building is located at the intersection of the two most prominent thorough- fares, with an outlook on a pretty CONGESTANT INDUSTRIAL LOUISIANA PURCHASE EXPOSITION CO. plaza full of choice flowers and tropical plants, the grounds about the building are beautifully shaded with a few trees. The intra mural railway car line, which passes all of the Exposition buildings and the large concessions on the Pike, has a station near the Iowa building. The architecture of the Iowa building is of the French Renaissance style of the tightly blending of architecture and architecture and the new one at Des Moines. It is 68 feet wide by 106 feet long, including the porches. It is 49 feet to the top of the roof, and 90 feet to the ting pole. The Iowa building harmonizes well with all its surroundings. The building is a credit to Iowa in every sense. The structure is of wood and staff, ivory white, in accord with the general color scheme of the Exposition buildings. On the first floor there is ample porch space, and on the second wide balconies. One of the strong features of the building is the interior arrangement. On the first floor in the center is a rotunda 22 by 28 feet. Leading off from this are two large public parlors. There are also on the floor two reading rooms, a woman's retiring room, the secretary's office, toilet rooms and wide vestibules leading from the main entrance. On the second floor is the governor's room and exhibition rooms, each 20 by feet. There are private rooms for the governor and for the president of the commission, and six comfortable commissioner's rooms arranged along one side of the building. In the third story are the rooms for employees, and in the basement a storage room for folding chairs and packing cases. The Iowa building is for the accommodation of Iowa people and their friends who desire a resting place during the day, and where meetings can be held by Iowa people, and general meetings for fair visitors. A bureau of information and a postoffice where Iowa people can receive and send mail will be maintained, and every facility offered for furnishing information concerning the exposition and the city of St. Louis. The Iowa commission invites all Iowa people and their friends to make their headquarters at the Iowa building during the exposition. COPYRIGHT 1903 LOUISIANA PURCHASE EXPOSITION CO.

ELECTRICITY BUILDING. the sound of the babel of tongues that rang out in the corridors of this gorgeous place of enchantment, for abode of enchantment it will be when within its massive gates. To us another simile. It is a flower, many colored and exquisitively beautiful, that has bloomed and in the heart of which are three petals that will quickly win the admiration of the visitor, namely the buildings containing the "Galveston Flood." "The battle Abbey" and the "New York to the North Pole." The most absorbing exibition will be that of the "Galveston Flood," the most picturesque the trip - From New York to the North Pole - and to the people of this country the most interesting historically the "Battle Abbey." They are all located on what is called "The Pike," the midway of the exposition, and are placed together for the purpose of visual experience. The "Galveston Flood" building contains a vivid illustration of the disaster which overtook this delightful Southland city and concludes with a picture of the reconstruction. The vast entertainment is given on a stage that has procenium opening 150 feet wide, the largest in the world, the building proper being 150 feet by 300 feet. It begins by showing Galveston at the close of a delightful summer day. Peace broods over land and buildings, leaving behind soft shadows and gentle breezes blowing from the gulf to the city whose inhabitants are closing up their business places and enjoying the hour. Shortly after a bank of clouds gather in the wake of the setting sun in cathedral like shape and from a phantom city. The cupolas, towering domes and softy colonades are gilded into molten glory by the last artistic touch of the brush of the falling light. From the deck of an apartment building, the city gleams through the night like sails, trains can be heard and seen running out of and into the city with lighted windows and the glowing port holes of the shipping of the offing indicate the life inside of the big hulls that swing lazily at their anchors. Suddenly the aspect of everything undergoes a change. The clouds have increased and are sweeping forward in a threatening manner. Rain be- THE PALACE OF THE ATHENSIAN MUSEUM EDUCATION BUILDING. gins to fall, the breeze has increased to a gale, lightning is viciously flashing its telegraph messages to earth that a storm is approaching. The gale becomes a hurricane and the shrieking winds call the waters to a work of destruction. Responsive to the cry, the gulf heaves into white crested waves, and rolling forward cash on the shell beach. Provoked by hostile water, the high tide and higher and finally one gigantic roller, a very avalanche of water sweeps forward and the city is engulfed. The scene beggars description. The cyclone, the howling tempest, he thundering waves, hissing rain and the spiteful lightning accentuate a disaster for Galveston. --- DES MOINES, IOWA, FRIDAY, JUNE 10, 1904. --- CITY COURT IOWA'S BUILDING AT THE LOUISIANA PURCHASE EXPOSITION Then, when the tempest has done its deadly work, the waters recede, the winds become a breeze like that of a lady's fan and the moon comes from her hiding place behind the clouds and we see a newer and more glorious Galveston. A realistic trip of "From New York to the North Pole" given in the "North Pole" building, tells in a graphic manner how a vessel starting from New York attempts to reach the pole, but becoming jammed in the fce the party of discoverers make a dash over it by sleds to their goal. A tank of real water 150 feet long, 50 feet ```markdown ``` wide and eight feet deep is required in this biggest of all water shows, and one hundred men are used to operate the effects and machinery. The "Battle Abbey" building is a unique institution and will grow the IOWA'S BUILDING patriotism of all citizens of this country and win the admiration of foreigners. It will contain a vast museum of the historical epochs of this country more important than that of the THE RAILWAYS Smithsonian Institute. In other words, it will be a war relie history of the United States beginning with the Indian wars, the French and English war, the Revolutionary war, the War of 1812, Mexico, and the gruggle of Texas for her independence, the Civil War's last fight and that of the conquest of Spain's colonies by this country in the late Spanish-American conflict. These epochs will be illustrated in tableaux. The most important conflicts being seen as follows: The Revolutionary war by the battle of Yorktown the war of 1812 by the battle of New Orleans, the war of Texas for her independence by the battle of the Alamo, the Mexican war by the battle of Buena Vista, the Civil war by the battles of Gettysburg --- a Federal victory, and that of Manassas, a Confederate success, thus preserving an equipoise of sentiment, and the Spanish-American war by Dewey's victory in the bay of Manila. In addition, Mr. Charles Gunther of Chicago, IL., has loaned the "Battle Abey" building his famous war museum, formerly exhibited at the Liberty prison, which is equal to the world-wide famous war museum in Berlin and is of more historical value than the one now in the Smithsonian Institute in Washington.

DES MOINES, - IOWA Only a little mine is required to make a large battleship look like old junk. The trouble with the submarine mine is that it can't tell its friends from its foes. "Alkali Ike" is dead, but "Weary Willie" and "Meandering Mike" are still going the rounds. The New York Herald notes that "bicycling seems to be in the ascendant again." Advertising pays. Whatever else of Tennyson may or may not live, his phrase "the sweet girl graduate" is bound to be immortal. The man who has an idea that anybody can manage a sailboat is getting into the accident column rather early this year. That New York girl who hugged a man so hard that she broke one of his ribs should come west and grow up with the country. The London Times is reported to be adopting American ideas. The next thing we know John Bull will be talking through his nose. Baer says coal is high because the people are willing to be robbed. Baer is a good man. He wouldn't tell a lie about a thing like that. Here's hoping that the battleship Rhode Island, launched the other day, will never meet the fate of the Hatsuse and the Petronavlovsk. President Eliot thinks "the public school houses should be used every day of the twelve months of the year." And he might add, the churches also. A Pittsburg man killed himself because he couldn't stand it to hear the hand organ men playing "Bedelia." Pittsburg never was much of a place for art. The non-professional military authorities who had Japan marching all over Siberia and into Russia in less than three months are amending their guesses. When a single pair of boll weevils propagate 134,000,000 other weevils during a single season, there isn't much to say to them on the evils of race suicide! Do you suppose it was Uncle Russell Sage who persuaded the other Western Union directors to give up the $5,000,000 income from the pool room service? Even leap year is powerless to save eighvilous man from Neeling at the feet of the fair sex, for lo, the season of the Oxford and its persistently flopping ties is at hand. The unwisdom of wearing a ring set with an oblong ruby worth $15,000 has been demonstrated to Spencer Trask, the New York banker, who has just been robbed of one. It is thought that the higher education for women has just about reached the limit in Boston, where the fair students are now clearing the high-jump bar at 4 feet 4 inches. The Emperor of Korea has bounced his favorite and deprived her of political power. The reports say she has been running things for ten years. That's what she gets for growing old. A couple just married in St. Louis are going to try to lay up a competency for the future by living or 20 cents a day for the present. They will be spared the expense of entertaining much. A New York banker has been sent to prison for nine years for stealing $10,000. Evidently the New York courts have outlived the idea that a man's stealings should be overlooked if he takes enough. Prof. Starr of Chicago university says this "miserable continent is not fit for the development of the highest type of animal life." Perhaps the professor has been compelled to lay in another ton of coz! It is stated that Charles R. Flint of New York has bought two Chilian cruisers for $5,500,000 and is dickering for a third. For a private individual Mr. Flint seems to be pretty well fixed in point of sea power. The Journal of the Deceased, devoted entirely to obituary notices, is the latest newspaper venture in Paris. Undoubtedly, ethical considerations will impel the doctors to try to keep their names cut of the paper. Old seadogs report that the gulf stream is running at unwonted speed. As soon as the political parties find out whether this is considered advantageous or not, they will either claim the credit or lay the blame on the other fellows. "The best after-dinner speaker I ever heard," says Senator Depew "was Gladstone at 80, and the next in order, in my opinion, was Simon Cameron at 90." Now, who has been so unkind as to remind our Chaucey that he was 70? A Detroit judge has ruled that a man has a right to spank his wife if she is disobedient. The judge is a bachelor, but he needn't worry. It is safe to say that there's many a girl in Detroit now who would be willing to become his wife just for the purpose of teaching him a few things. It makes us smile when we think of the school children trying to recite the history of the Japanese-Russian war a dozen years from now, and of the teachers trying to correct their pronunciation of the names. ST. JOHN WINS HONOR EASILY SMITH BEAT OUT SPIELMAN Three Thousand Veterans March in the Parade-Annual Encampment at Mason City Moves On With Utmost Success Officers Elected. Mason City, June 9—R. T. St. John of Riceville won easily in the contest for Iowa department commander of the G. A. R. winning by a vote of 399 over P. A. Smith of Seranton, 182, and Captain J. A. Spielman of Fairfield, 82.

Mason City, June 10—The thirtieth encampment of the Iowa Grand Army of the Republic came to a sad close at 6 o'clock yesterday by an unfortunate accident on the Mason City & Clear Lake Electric line. The closing session of the encampment was held at Clear Lake, a summer resort ten miles from the city, and exercises held in the beautiful park had closed most auspiciously the best encampment held in years. Clara Barton, or Governor Cummins, and stolen with Governor Cummins and Jesse Cole of the soldiers' home in the closing speeches of the camp are and had congratulated the people on the good fortune that no accident had occurred to mar the perfect meeting. Three trains, with 1,000 happy peo ple, started back at 5 o'clock, and strangely enough, just opposite the Memorial university, the trailer on the first train, a car with trotley used on the city lines, jumped the track and caused the destruction. It was loaded with men and women, and when it left the track was detached from the rest of the train, which ran a furling before it could be stopped. There were fifty or more people in the car and twenty-five of them were more or less injured. Providently, the train was on its way to vert, which kept it from falling on the people who were precipitated from the windows, although the car had to be pried from one man whose leg was broken. Tom Way and Hon. A. B. Funk were in the ill-fated car, Way had his head bruised and Funk was injured slightly in the leg, but Stitz Way, the Tenth district committe- eeman, escaped without a serach. SAVERY BELL BOY KILLED. Ciell Wyant of Des Moines Crushed by Descending Weight. Des Moines, June S.—Cell Wyant, a 17-year-old boy employed as a bell boy in the Savery, was crushed to death beneath a moving elevator weight at 11 o'clock last night. With his chin upon a window sill, he was looking downwards upon an ascending elevator in the west portion of the hotel. He did not see the silently descending weight which was creeping toward him from above, and upon the floor of the room from struck him, his life went out as quickly as if he had been healed. With a boy's love of adventure, he had climbed to the roof of a three-story portion of the hotel, which is just east of a section known as the annex. A window which furnishes air to the elevator shaft was open. A chambermaid saw him dancing upon the roof and later noticed him approach the window. She saw him thrust his head into the aperture, and a minute later saw his body being ragged, his eyes dangling from his mouth, and his disheveled shaft. He uttered no sound, and the tragedy was the work of no more than a few seconds. The weight, forced inward, was broken from its cleats, and as it fell down the shaft to the top of the elevator car, the boy was dragged with it. Wyant did not fall beneath the weight, but when picked up a few minutes later, his body was free. Plainly, death was caused by the force of the falling weight, and Life extinct before the fall into the shaft. DENNISON WINS IN OMAHA Must Be Proved He Is Fugitive From Iowa. Omaha, Neb., June 10—Tom Dennison won the first round in his fight against extradition to Iowa, yesterday morning, when Judges Troup, Day and Redick announced that they would take testimony to decide whether or not he is a fugitive from justice in that state. The motion to owe the writ of habeas corpus was overruled. The court decided that Dennison cannot be extradited unless it is shown that he is a fugitive. It holds also that unless that fact was established before governor Mickey Roe did no further to leap a warrant for Dennison's removal to Iowa, and for Dennison's removal to Iowa, and that allow the extradition without giving Dennison a chance to make a defense was "impossous." The date for the future hearing of $\textcircled{3}$ case has not been set. Omaha, Neb., June 4. About 7 o'clock last evening Deputy Sheriff J. G. Sherry served a writ of injunction on United States Marshal Christian of Iowa and Attorney Elmer E. Thomas. The writ was issued by Judge Day and enjoined! Christian and Thomas from forcibly taking Dennison from the state on the requisition granted by Governor Mickey, except when the court is in session between the hours of 9:30 a.m. m. and 7. p. m., or without giving Dennison a reasonable time for filing his application for a writ of habeas corpus. The writ was served on Christian while he was eating his supper at his hotel. Lincoln, Neb., June 4. —Governor Mickey issued the warrant that the registrar by Governor Cummins of Iowa for the arrest of "Tom" Dennison charged with complicity in a diamond robbery in that state. In honoring the requisition, Governor Mickey said that the Iowa auctions had presented an indictment and an indictment and that he must act on this showing. He could not go behind them to examine evidence as to Dennison's guilt. United States Marshal Christian left immediately for Omaha and may try to arrest Dennison and get him into Iowa before haiches corpus proceedings are filed. Dennison is accused of having receded the Pollock diamonds, which were stolen from a traveling man on a train near Missouri Valley, Iowa, by William Schercliffe. Omaha June 6. After hearing the application for a writ of injunction corpus Dennison, he heed in custody. United States Marshal George M. Christian left Saturday night for Des Moines. Dennison is at large in Omaha under bonds of $4,000 signed by himself and his husband, A. M. Hunt. The restraining order issued by Judge Day of the criminal court, a most unheard of proceeding, executed its functions and the "king of gamblers and consort of thieves" arrested on a warrant executed by Governor Cummins of Iowa, and Governor Mickey of Nebraska, is still in Nebraska at large. The petition asks, as a part of the prayer, that the hearing in the case be set before Judge E. M. Bartlett. It will be heard by Judge Day, however, as is usual in all such proceedings.

Fourteenth and Hubbell, was stopped on the way home from her husband's funeral and paid $2,000 in cash, the amount of Mr. Stoner's policy. The payment was made by the Brotherhood of American Yeomen. T. M. Stoner died Sunday morning, and his funeral was held Tuesday. En route from the cemetery, the carriage of Mrs. Stoner was stopped by representatives of the bodge, and locked up in the office of the order. She consulted, not knowing the object of the visit. Inside the office not a minute was lost in taking up the purpose of the conference. Mrs. Stoner was handed the amount of the life insurance money which was due her. JUBILEE OF CORNELL COLLEGE.

Des Moines, June 10—It is learned that the survey has been made for the interburban route northwest from Des Moines and turns west from Perry and runs toward Jefferson, Greene county, instead of continuing the direct parallel of the Fort Dodge line to Gowrie by way of Grand Junction. This is taen to indicate that in case the Rock Island has to build to make a connection with its Gowrie line the route will be from Perry villa, it is also learned that most of the riage of way has been secured to Perry.

Her mind was fairly clear to the last and she was able to recognize her friends until within a few hours of her death. Early historic events were clearly remembered by her and she often entertained her friends by telling frontier stories. It doesn't take a strong man to break a $10 gold piece. FLEET TO PASS DARDANELLES Reported That Turkey Has Granted Permission to Russia. TO CREATE THIRD SQUADRON Grand Duke Alexis Secures Permission of Emperor — Will Take Four Battleships of Black Sea Fleet for Service in the Far Eastern Waters St. Petersburg, June 8. — The Grand Duke Alexis, commander-in-chief of the navy, according to an apparently reliable report which, however, is not officially confirmed, has obtained the permission of the emperor to create a third Pacific squadron from the ships of the Black sea fleet, and permission has already been obtained from Turkey to take the ships through the Dardanelles, on the condition that they will not return. This squadron will be composed, according to the report, of the battleships Rosistav, Devenadzat Apostolov and Tria Sviotietla, and will be accompanied by torpedo boats and torpedo boat destroyers and will sail for the far east simultaneously with the Baltic squadron. The Associated Press is unable to obtain any confirmation of the report. London, June 8. — The foreign once has not received any request from Russia or Turkey to agree to the passage of the Russian Black sea舰 (Dardanelles) through Dardanelles pointed out that Turkey doldness would be delighted to get rid of Russian's Black sea fleet, but the passage of warships through the Dardanelles would be a distinct contravention of the treaty, permission for which has neither ben asked nor is it likely to be granted if asked for. London, June 8.—The correspondent of the Daily Telegraph in Tokyo tables: "The commander of the fourth Japanese flotilla, who has returned to the rendezvous of the fleet, from a reconnaissance in the vicinity of Port Arthur, mentions the loss of the Russian gunboat Gillak and the blowing up of another Russian gunboat about the same time. The Japanese escaped from Port Arthur says that the ration of the soldiers is two pounds of bread daily, out as the officers have an abundance of food, the men are discontented." The Che, June 8.—Preceding a sea attack on Port Arthur Monday night he Japanese apparently made a determined effort to advance on that stronghold by land. A Chinese junk which left a point three miles south of Port Dalry early Monday morning has arrived here. She reports having heard firing north of Port Arthur from 7 eclock Monday morning until 2 eclock that afternoon she has passed out of hearing distance. She reports that the Japanese planned the land and sea attack on Port Arthur Monday. The Russians, on seeing this, sent the fleet out to give battle. The result is not yet known. The above dispatch seems to confirm the dispatch previously received at Che Foo from the Associated Press correspondent at Teng Chon, Shan Tung peninsula. The correspondent said there was firing at Port Arthur Monday night beginning at 11:30 o'clock and continuing for several hours. The above Che Foo dispatch also confirms the report brought there by a Chinese junk which arrived there during the night. The latter reported that there was heavy firing all day Monday in the vicinity of Port Arthur. PITCHED BATTLE IN COLORADO Soldiers and Union Miners Have Encounter in the Hills. Victor, Colo., June 9.—A pitched battle between the military and union miners was fought at Dunnville, the new mining 'camp thirteen miles out of Victor, shortly after 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. John Carley, a union miner, was killed. The troops returned to Victor at 8 o'clock last night, bringing with them fourteen captives. It was reported before the special train left for Victor at 2 o'clock bearing the force under General Bell, that the miners in the hills about Dunnville numbered about 250 men, and that it was their intention to march into Victor last night in a body armor to liberate by force the miners of the temporary 'bull pen' in Victor. That the force actually consisted of but twenty-one men is the statement of one of the number that was taken captive. Victor, Colo. June 9.—A second battle took place last night. Seven soldiers on horseback to Big Hill two miles east of Victor, to arrest union miners, found them entrenched, one men refused to surrender and the soldiers opened fire. Over two hundred shots were fired. The miners opened fire on the soldiers as soon as they saw them coming up the hill. No one was wounded. Seven men were captured by the guards and taken to Cripple Creek. Denver, June 9.—The United Federation of Miners has offered a reward of $5,000 for the amphibious of the persons guilty of the outrage in the Cripple Creek district. IS CONSIDERED SIGNIFICANT. London, June 9.—The sudden interruption of the cable between Korea and Japan is considered significant of the imminence of important operations at Port Arthur, the Japanese having taken precaution, as usual, to cut the only means of communication with the outside world and thus create military forces to work with absolute control. No attention is paid in London to rumors that the storming of the fortress has already begun, because it is known that at the battle of Kim Cheng General Okin had exhausted his ammunition, and an insufficient period has elapsed during which the stocks of ammunition could be renewed; part siege gains brought into position. It is considered likely that Admiral Tosio is not averse to Port Arthur wastes being used in constant counter-attacks with the enemy may explain the rumored bombardments, while the firing on the hard gate may be due to preliminary operations having for their purpose the driving in of the Russian forces.

The DENEEN BREAKS THE DEADLOCK Secures Republican Nomination for Governor of Illinois. LOWDEN AGAINST THE FIELD All Other Candidates Pooled Votes for Deneen. Yates Led Coup Which Resulted in His Victory on Seventy-Ninth Ballot With 957 Votes. Springfield, Ill., June 4.—By making a combination with Charles S. Deneen, L. Y. Sherman. Howland J. Hamlin and John H. Pierce, Governor Yates yesterday broke the deadlock in the republican state convention about the nomination of Deneen for governor. The nomination was made on the seventy-ninth ballot, which stood: Yates 1 Lowden 522 Deneen 957 Warner 21 Warner ..... 21 The combination was the result of a series of conferences which were held Thursday night and yesterday morning and which were participated in by Yates, Deneen, Humlin, Sherman and Pierce. The agreement had not been consummated when the convention met at 10 o'clock yesterday morning and the Yates and Deneen people forced a recess to 2 p. m. Then the parties to the combination met and finally agreed upon Deneen as the candidate. When the convention recessed Yates than Humlin and Sherman withdrew names from the consideration of the delegates and urged their friends to vote for Deneen. When the seventy-ninth roll call was ordered and Adams county led off with "one vote for Yates and nineteen for Deneen," the wildest excitement prevailed. As the call proceeded it became evident that the new combination in Illinois politics would win, but the original Lowden men for the most part remained firm and went to defeat with him. When the call was completed Lowden moved to the convention manumont, and Chairman Cannon, deferred the motion carried. All * of the party's enthusiasm of the delegates manifested itself as Deneen came to the platform and briefly thanked the convention for the honor. In response to the demands of the assemblage, Colonel Lowden made an address, pledging his support to the ticket. At the evening session, the making up of the ticket was rapidly proceeded with. L. Y. Sherman of McBrounough was nominated for lieutenant governor; James A. Rose of Golconda (present incumbent) for secretary of state; Len Small of Kankakee for state; James A. S. McCollough of Champaign县 was nominated for state auditor; W. H. Stead of Ottawa for attorney general. This was the slate agreed upon by the Yates-Deneen combination. SHIPS ARE DISABLED Che Foo, June 10.—A Chinese, formerly an employee in the machine shops at Port Arthur, who arrived here yesterday, says that only five of the nine largest Russian ships at Port Arthur are capable of going to sea and that steam is kept up on but three of the five sound vessels. All the guns from the damaged ships, as are the forts and the sailors from these ships, gone to the front with the troops. The Russian warships, which formerly were painted black, are now painted gray, as are the vessels of the Japanese fleet. Russian torpedo boats leave the harbor occasionally for half an hour, but the larger warships cannot get through the entrance, the skilled warships to leave Port Arthur but many are escaping. Little work is being done in the machine shops because of the confusion among the workmen each time fireing is heard. One shell recently wreaked a machine shop building, but did no damage to the machinery. Another shell wrecked the offices in the doe-vard. Three hundred and fifty mines, many others have been placed around the ships in the naval basin. Some of the latter were exploded last week done. HARBOR STILL PLOCKADED. Only Smallest Vessels Can Pass in Or Out. Che Foo, June 15—Chinese arriving from Port Arthur say the entrance to that harbor is still blooed and large vessels are unable to pass in or out. Gunboats and torpedo boats can only effect a passage at high tide. The Russians have several fortified positions between the present positions, extended for a distance of seven miles out and under the force at Port Arthur. The Japanese fleet is bombarded Port Arthur daily from a considerable distance off shore, fearing to attempt a closer range of fire on account of danger of Russian mines. flags marked by the Russian cross indicate the Muscovite forts that lie between the Mikado's army and Port Arthur. The decisive conflict is expected to take place at the outer fortifications of the stronghold, which the Japs are rapidly approaching JAPANESE ARE BEATEN BACK Repulsed With Heavy Loss Before Walls of Port Arthur. THE FIGHTING WAS STUBBORN Attacks Were Made Simultaneously By Land and Sea—Reported That Jaws Have Met Disastrous Defeat On Sea From Combined Russian Fleet. London, June 9.—A dispatch to Reuter's Telegram company from St. Petersburg transmits the following from Liao Yang: "The Japanese on June 6, according to Chinese reports, made several sustained and stubborn attacks on Port Arthur simultaneously by land and sea. They were repulsed with severe loss. "The position of the Japanese in Kwan Tung is said to be precarious. "There are rumors from the same sources that the Vladivostok squadron has effected junction with the boat Arthurot that a naval boat took the place and that the Japanese lost four large ships. London, June 9.—The Shanghai correspondent of the Morning Post telegraphs under date of June 8: "General Stakeherg's Russian brigade, marching in the direction of Port Arthur, suffered a reverse on Saturday near Wafangtien and returned to Tachichiao." The Cfo, June 9.—The Chinese, both merchants and cooleys, are leaving Port Arthur with the permission of the Russian authorities. Fifty junians, who have been away a year with Chinese passengers, are now arriving here. The reports of the latest arrivals vary in minor details, but agree in a general statement that a battle has been raging for four days within ten miles of Port Arthur. All the Russian soldiers have, it is said, left Port Arthur for the front, and only three large ships and a number of small ones remain in the harbor. The Chinese are unable to explain what has become of the other large ships.

RECORD IS OUTSPOKEN. Labor Pager in Colorado Deptoer the Outrages. Victor, Cole, June 9.—The Recorder owned and edited by George E. Kyren and recognized as the official organ of the Western Federation of Miners in the Cripple Creek district, publishes an editorial urging the miners to call off the strike inaugurated ten months ago. The article says: "The sentiment is growing against the Western Federation of Miners or account of its continuing the strike. There are few people who believe that this organization of miners is responsible for the crimes that have been committed here, except that if the strike had not been called and continued so long the dynamiting would not have occurred, and in this respect the strike is responsible for this outrage. "If there was justice in the calling of it or not, in the interest of the men and women who have made the Cripple Creek district the Record with the Western Federation of Miners to cut off the strike. Miners living in the district are losing their homes or are engaged to go away and leave them None of them, when they express their convictions, as many of the have to the writer, believe that there is any hope of winning the strike but the longer it is kept going the forther away they are from securing work." BATTLE IS ON AT PORT ARTHUR Japanese Begin Their Long Contemplated Attack. FIGHTING STILL GOES ON Russian Ships Aid in Repelling the Assault—Garrison is Reinforced By the Troops Originally Posted at Dalny and Kin Chou. Indianapolis, Ind., June 10.—A special cable received by the Indianapolis News from its staff correspondent at the Foo says: "Che Foo, June 9.—The long contemplated attack by the Japanese on Port Arthur began early this morning. "The Russian forces around the be-leaguered city were reinforced by the troops which had garrisoned Dalny and Kin Chou. "The Russian vessels in the harbor, with their great guns, aided the land forces in repelling the attack. The fighting still goes on." St. Petersburg, June 19.—All Japanese movements are interpreted because caused by anxiety to hamper as much as possible whatever movement General Kurupatin may be making to help Port Arthur. Not only have the Japanese bombarded the west coast of Liao Tung peninsula where the railway runs close to the shore, making feints of debarkation, but General Kurupatin has assumed the offensive eastward. He has sent an overpoweringly strong column that drove out the Russians from a fortified position at Saimatzai, twenty miles northwest of Feng Wang sheng, infiltrating a loss of the enemy. St. Petersburg, June 10.—toem at Kurupatin telegraphs to the emperor under date of June 8. "A Japanese brigade attacked a Russian detachment occupying Samatze on June 7. The Russians retired slowly because of the enemy's great superiority, towards Fenchulin pass. "Our losses were two officers wounded and 100 soldiers killed or wounded." St. Petersburg, June 10.—The Associated Press is informed officially that no negotiations are taking place between Russia and Turkey concerning the passage of the Black sea fleet through the Dardanelles. The Turkish government has affirmed positively its intention to maintain morality and to observe strictly the obliquity of the Born canary. While diplomatic trips may not be involve in the existence of danger in the Bulkers, yet it is thought that Russia will not consider a reduction of the Black sea fleet at this time. St. Petersburg, June 10.—Special dispatches from Liao Yang report Chinese as bringing news that the Japanese on June 2 attacked Port Arthur by land and sea, but were repulsed with a loss of 3,500 men and four vessels, which, judging from the description given of them, were top priority. Other dispatches give rumors of a naval battle between two fleets in the Gulf of Pe Chi Ll, and a definite report of a bombardment in Liao Tang Gulf, near Kai Ping, which may force shadow a landing there for the purpose of cutting the railroad back of the Russian troops operating around Wafandian. London, June 10.—The Daily Mail* correspondent at Tien Tsin learns that 10,000 Russian infantry with several artillery are encircled in a strong position. To Chichia, twelve miles south of Kai Chau and thirty-five miles from Nüchang.

DEATH TO UNIONISM. Citizens' Alliance of Cripple Creek Takes Stand. Cripple Creek, Colo., June 10.—"Death to unionism in the Cripple Creek district," is the slogan of the Citizens' alliance, which has sent a decree broadcast that every person connected with any union here must either sever his or her connection with such organization or leave the district. The latest stand of the anti-unionists was vaguely hinted at two days ago, but the movement on the part of the alliance seemed absurd to three or four thousand unionists in the camp, and its enforcement traught with so many difficulties that it was not taken seriously. Tison S. Dines, a Denver attorney, and one of the executors of the Stratton estate, is here in conference with Citizens' alliance leaders, and it is announced that he is preparing a form which will be presented to every merchant and business man and other unionists in the citizens' alliance, pledging them not to employ any person who is affiliated with a labor union. No person who works for a living will be exempt, and the absolute annihilation of unionism in this country is predicted by members of the Citizens' alliance and the Mine Owners' association. This is considered the most drastic step yet taken by the alliance since it secured the upper hold in the district, and its enforcement will affect three thousand men and women now affiliated with the various unions. Among the unions that will be affected by the new movement are the clerks, cooks and waiters, bartenders, carpenters, electricians, traymen and stone and brick masons. The unionists assert that they will fight the movement to a finish. Japanese Reconnoitering Tokio, June 16—Admiral Togo reports that on the night of June 7 he sent eight small torpedo boats from the battleships of his squadron to make a reconnaissance of Port Arthur harbor. The boats went far inside and were exposed to the Russian fire. One sailor and one petty officer were killed in the operation but the boats escaped undamaged.

ELI PERKIN'S DONATION BY BELLE NANATES Pretty Lena Winters tripped into the shoe store of E. Perkins & Co. and walked directly up to the sour-visaged proprietor. "O. Mr. Perkins," she said, in her most coaxing tones and manner, "won't you buy a ticket to the wish-one social our church is to give Thursday night—only 25 cents?" She looked so sweet and winsome that Walter Hodge, standing near, wondered how anyone could refuse our anything she asked. Twenty-five cents, however, looked more handsome to E. Perkins than any vision of feminine beauty. for her father had quarreled with Walter's father, and he did not a cord the young man welcome to his home. "Lena," said Walter, "I am glad you took old Perkins up, and I will be glad to see the old miser shell out but you two women can never do that plowing." "I'll tell you a secret, Walter. Mr. Logan in her younger days lived on a farm, and had often helped with the plowing when they were short of help, so her part will be perfect done. A year ago I was at Uncle Look's, and helped with the plowing." "No, I won't," he snapped out. "It's nothing but give, give all the time, and the more we give the bigger the church debt grows. It's just a big steal choked over runnage sales, fairs and all kinds of tomatoery—just to give you women a chance to gad and hear an entertainment. You ain't working for the Lord. You're just trying to have a good time and catch a fellow." Walter Hodge's eyes looked dangerous, but Lona's only twinkled mercy. "Oh, Mr. Perkins!" she said, "you don't know how hard we work. It's no play to get up a church entertainment." "I tell you that you don't know what work is. I give $100 to see any two of you church women do a half a day's work—man's work, I mean. If you could plow a field, you'd know what real work is." Deacon Holmes had dropped in during this conversation and was a silent, but interested listener. Lena contemplated Mr. Perkins' reflectively for a moment. "You've given me a new idea, Mr. Perkins," she said thoughtfully. "I was the member chosen to get up some sort of an entertainment this week. My wits suggested nothing but a wishbone social. Now I shall do as you suggest. With your $100 and the number of tickets I shall sell for such a novel entertainment the church will realize handsomely." "What do you mean? Come back here!" cried Mr. Perkins. But Lena was vanishing down the street. That night in the tri-weekly issue of the Hollyville Patriot appeared the following announcement: "E. Perkins, the well-known shoe dealer, has offered $100 to see any two of the Plymouth church members plow a field. Mrs. Charles Logan and Miss Lena Winters have accepted the challenge and will plow a field at the Lucas farm southeast of Hollyville on Thursday, 2 p.m. Price of admission 25 cents. Reserved seats on the rail tie. Proceeds of tickets and $100 offered by Mr. Perkins to go to the church." Mr. Perkins gasped and paled and foamed at the mouth when he read this. He swore it was an outrage and a put-up job, and that he would not pay it. It was all a trick of that little upstart of Lena Winters, but Deacon Holmes and Walter Hodge quietly reminded him that they were witnesses, and that the offer and transaction had been explicit and exactly as Mies Winters had stated. Mr. Perkins groaned in apprehension when posters announcing the contest stared him in the face for the next two days. Handbills were con- M. H. "No, I won't!" he snapped, stantly thrown in his door and thrust into his hand. One ray of hope was left to him. Lena Winters, that slight, frivolous little thing, would not be able to plow one row. From different motives Walter Hodge was also concerned about Lena's part in the program. He met her on the street Wednesday evening and they strolled in an opposite direction from Lena's home. for her father had quarreled with Walter's father, and he did not accord the young man welcome to his home. "Lena," said Walter, "I am glad you took old Perkins up, and I will be glad to see the old miser shell out, but you two women can never do that plowing." "I'll tell you a secret, Walter. Mrs. Logan in her younger days lived on a farm, and had often helped with the plowing when they were short of help, so her part will be perfectly done. A year ago I was at Uncle Joel's and helped with the plowing for the fun of it. The furrows may not be very straight, but we'll plow the field all right." "But it's such hard work for you, H. W. "I didn't mean it, and I'll never pay it!" he cried wrathfully. "I didn't mean it, and I'll never pay it!" he cried wrathfully. Lena," he said deprecatingly. "Why didn't you let some of the other women do it?" "Because, Walter, well—more depends on my plowing that field than you know. It isn't the church debt and coming up with old Perkins alone that inspired this plan—or the carrying out of it." "What do you mean, Lena?" he asked in surprise. "I'll tell you to morrow after the last furrow is furrowed," she said, laughing. "There is one thing you must do. You must use your influence to help make old Perkins cash up." The sale of tickets to the novel contest had been unprecedented. Thursday afternoon almost the whole town flocked to the field of Farmer Luces, who lived on the outskirts of Hollyville. In readiness for the signal stood Lena and Mrs. Logan, in short skirts, stout shoes and broad-brimmed hats. A pair of steady, sober dapple grays were hitched to the plow. Lena and Mrs. Logan were to share the labor equally, alternating in driving and guiding. When the appointed hour came a bell sounded and amid the cheers of the multitude they started on the first furrow. Across the field they went and back again to the starting line. "Good!" commented the men approvingly, noting the tolerably straight furrows. The women waited long enough to drink a glass of refreshing lemonade. Walter Hodge offered them, and then居然 took up their work again. When the field was plowed Mrs. Logan and Lena were escorted to their homes by the Hollyville band. "I'll collect of Perkins," volunteered Walter, and as it was a commission no one else sought, he went alone to call on the irate shoe dealer, "I didn't mean it, and I'll never pay it!" he eried wrathfully. "I'm surprised at your expecting me to, Walter Hodge! I thought you were a friend of mine." "I am, Mr. Perkins," replied Walter gravely, "and that is why I have come to you—to give you a pointer. A great many of the church members anticipated your refusal to pay, and will meet it by a resolution to boycott your shoe trade, and you know what stuff the women of that church are made of—you saw it in their afternoon's work. What they set out to do they'll do. My advice to you as from one business man to another is to pay the $100, which is the cheapest way out." So, with groans and imprecations the old miser wrote his check for $190, and Walter triumphantly took it to Leon's father, who was the custodian of the church funds. "I'll believe anything now," was the comment of Mr. Winters, as he read the check. Then he looked at Walter and gave an odd little laugh. "You'd better go down and see Lena, Waltar. "Why, Mr. Winters," gasped Waltar, "do you mean it?" "Yes; I can't help myself, Waltar, and perhaps it's just as well. Run along, Lena will explain matters." "Will you tell me how this happens, Lena?" asked Walter joyfully a few moments later. "It was just like this: When I told at dinner the other day about plowing the field and Mr. Perkins, papa said: 'Don't ever expect impossibilities, Lena. You can't plow a field, and you can't make old Shylock Perkins pay.' 'What'll you bet, pet,' I asked. 'Anything,' he replied, 'All right,' I answered. 'If we plow and Mr. Perkins pays, Walter shall come to the house again.' He agreed. He didn't expect me to win, but, Walter, he was glad of a chance to give in gracefully, for I know he likes you."

The sketch shows the Independence depot, location of the dynamite mine and course of the wire from the mine to the Delmonico mine, seventy-five yards away. Upheld by Supreme Court. The technical cause of the bitterness in Colorado between employers of labor and union laboring men goes back to an eight hour law passed by the legislature of 1901, pronounced unconstitutional by the Supreme court, and then declared for in a later election as an amendment to the constitution, but not acted upon by the legislature of 1903. The blow aimed at the forces that have been most strongly 'intrenched against the eight hour law'—the ore smelter proprietors—did not fall DELMONICO MINE COURSE OF WIRE SCENE OF EXPLOSION The sketch shows the Independence mine and course of the wire from the enty-five yards away. where directed. It fell, instead, upon thousands of union workmen in the hills, who, although engaged for the eight hour day, were ordered to cease work in those mines that supplied the offending smelters with ores. The result in many camps was a walk-out. The succeeding result was an attempt on the part of the owners to reopen their mines with nonunion labor. In the part that labor and politics play in Colorado, the administration of civil duties falls, in many mining cities and towns, upon authorities who are out of sympathy with nonunion methods. Thus the owners of mines were harassed in many ways. There were mysterious disappearances. People unsympathetic with the cause of the strikers were driven from communities. Finally, nine buildings were blown up with dynamite, and nine workings destroyed. In this crisis the mine owners appealed to the governor of Colorado for protection. The situation was strained at three points—in Teller county, where are the mining camps of Victor and Cripple Creek; at Telluride in San Miguel county, and at Idaho Springs in Clear Creek county. In the last place union workmen suspected of blowing up the Sun and Moon mine property were driven from town by the citizens of the place. This drastic action is worth noting, for, as a result of the high state of feeling in Colorado, it was upheld in the popular opinion. At all events, troops were not needed at Idaho Springs. Gov. Peabody declared martial law in Teller and San Miguel counties early in December. Some of the military proceedings in each of these counties appear to have been extreme but Gov. Peabody has declared that no defense of his actions is needed. Grazing Grounds Depleted. Canada was until recently the only owner of a vast area of good grazing land, located in its northwestern territories, to which it invited American cattlemen. The latter have responded so numerously that it promises to be only a question of time when the ranges of Canada will be as bare as those of Montana and the Dakotas. So rapid has been the depletion of this grazing ground in fact that cattle growers who have recently looked over that region have concluded not to send any cattle up there, realizing that overstocking and a rapid influx of settlers will render the business merely transitory. Excusable. "Mary," said a lady to her cook, "I must insist that you keep better hours and that you have less company in the kitchen at night.

I was tellin' her how you tried to make cake one day." Nonunion Miners in Colorado Union leaders, were arrested, and in some cases these leaders were deported. State courts were appealed to by members of the union who felt the power of the military law, but the rulings of these courts had no effect on the representatives of the state government. Injunctions were merely ignored. The governor contended for these points: 1. That he had sole power to determine when a state of insurrection existed in any county in the state. 2. That the courts had no power to interfere with his exercise of this preogative. 3. That he had the right to use the state military forces to suppress insurrection. 4. That he had the power to detain military prisoners for so long as he saw fit. 6. That the state courts could not interfere with military prisoners. Hence, that they had no power to discharge military prisoners. A test case was made when Charles H. Moyer, president of the Western Federation of Miners, was arrested at Telluride by the military authorities. The judge of a district court ordered his release. No attention was paid to the order. Application to the state Supreme court for a writ of habeas corpus was made. The Supreme court has just declared that the governor has authority to suspend the WHICH KILLED MINERS. ce depot, location of the dynamite mine to the Delmonico mine, sev- writ of habeas corpus. Other contentions of the governor also are upheld. In other words, under the conditions in Colorado, his power is supreme. By this decision, the main contention against Gov. Peabody's action in placing certain mining districts under military control, and in giving mine owners protection for their workers, is legally swept aside. He is acting entirely within his powers. SYNOPSIS OF CHIEF EVENTS Happenings Following Dynamite Out- rage, Told in Paragraphs. Platform of railroad station at Independence, near Cripple Creek. GOV. JAS. HUP. ABDOL OF COLORADO blown up by dynamite as part of a plot, shortly after midnight June 5. Thirteen miners instantly killed, eight seriously injured and many others hurt. Though the pin habit is said by medical journals to cause more dyspepsia than it cures, it has at any rate the sanction of antiquity. In an article which Dr. H. L. Norris, a British naval surgeon on the china station, contributes to one of the medical journals, he remarks that doses in the Chinese pharmacopoeia are invariably large and the pills are "taken by the hundreds." The Chinese, he adds, possess an enormous veneration for antiquity, and besides powdered deer's horns to promote longevity and tiger's bones to promote bravery, dose themselves with fossil ivory, fossil crabs and shells, ancient soot and water in which a few copper coins of an early dynasty have been boiled. Botanist Goes to Smithsonian Dr. E. L. Greese, head of the department of botany of the Catholic University of America, has resigned from the faculty. He is one of the foremost botanists of the world and will be identified with the Smithsonian institution, where he will have a wider field for his research work. Rioting began at once. Armed men patrolled the streets and the Citizens' Alliance at once assumed charge of the local government. Under Sheriff J. Knox Burdeigh's star forcibly taken from him by Sheriff Bell. City Marshall Michael O'Connell of Victor called at mine owners' headquarters and demanded surrender of thirty armed men who were holding it. Marshal O'Connell forcibly ejected, removed from office by Mayor French, placed under arrest and marched to the "bull pen." Mob of armed men, under orders from Sheriff Bell, marched from town to town deposing regularly elected officers of the law and assuming the functions of town marshals and deputy sheriffs. Officers who resisted placed under arrest and marched to the "bull pen," with about 250 union miners, arrested for alleged "rioting." Miners' union calls upon President Roosevelt for federal troops to preserve order and enforce law. Colorado National Guard, including 178 men from local companies, ordered out and placed in control of Mine Owners' Association. Mass meeting called at Victor to discuss situation. Secretary Hamlin of Mine Owners' Association declared publicly that all union miners must be driven out of mining camps. He said to people: "It is time for you to drive these scoundrels out." Deputy Sheriff Alfred Miller raised rifle, demanding to know whom he means. General shooting began from the crowd, killing two men and wounding six others. Soldiers immediately ordered by Sheriff Bell to break up meeting of miners' union in their hall. While one company charged up the stairs and fired through the main doors of the hall, sharpshooters on the roots of adjoining buildings fired indiscriminately through windows at miners inside. Three men badly wounded, forty others captured in hall and locked up. All books and documents of the union were seized by the soldiers. Arrests of miners wherever found continued all night until nearly 25 were under guard in the army. The miners' union issued a formal statement denouncing 'lynamite outrage and pledging assistance of all its officers and members in running down the perpetrators. Bloodhounds from Trinidad followed the supposed trail of the man who pulled the wire that exploded the dynamite from Bull Hill to Colorado Springs wagon road. The state Supreme court at Denver refused a writ of habeas corpus for President Charles H. Moyer of the Western Federation of Miners, held at Telluride as a military prisoner by order of Gov. Peabody. Value in Unpunctuality An English railway man, who worked up from a very humble position, was never on time, and he declared that this characteristic was carefully planned and cultivated. "Shareholders drop into a meeting," he said, "and find the chairman in his place and the business going on, and it confirms their impression that you are a party of nobodies who have come there for their convenience. I like to let them wait and come back," he said all the restive ones have asked. "What are we waiting for?" and receive the answer, "Mr. Forbes." Then you come in and they feel you are somebody, at any rate." Made Rapid Rise to Fortune J. E. Manix is thirty-eight years old and a native of Northampton, Conn. At fourteen he swept the floor of a small retail store in that town and made himself generally useful at $2 a week. Up to about ten years ago he was a clerk of the Edward Malley Company of New Haven. To-day he is president of a company that represents forty-two large retail stores, which do an annual business of $30,000,000. He is the most cordial, genial and approachable of men, worshiped by his personal staff of fourteen buyers. Her Old-Fashioned Charm: There was a delightful schoolmistress who used thus to impress on her scholars certain refined distinctions: "My dear, forsces 'sweet,' young men 'perspire,' young ladies 'are all in a glow.'" In these outspoken days, when a shade is called at the very mildest a shade, the gentle euphonism is a matter for amusement, to be laughed at with affectionate patronage like an old-time gown cut of grandmother's chest. THE WEEKLY PANORAMA MARK TWAIN LCSE5 WIFE. Sudden Demise of Life Partner of Famous Humorist. Mrs. Samuel Langhorne Clemens, who died suddenly June 5, at Florence, Italy, was the wife of the famous American humorist, "Mark Twain." Her maiden name was Olivia Langdon. She was a sister of Gen. Charles J. Langdon, and she was born at Elmira, N. Y., at which place she was married to Mr. Clemens in 1870. She was charming in manner, her home life was of the happiest, and I but recently it was said 1895 - SATIET - J. CLEUTENS of her that she seemed to possess the secret of perpetual youth. Besides her husband she leaves a daughter. TROUBLE IN THE BALKANS War Cloud Lowering in That Part of the World In his estimates for the annual budget of the Austro-Hungarian empire, Count Gonchowski proposes the expenditure of many extra million dollars on the army and navy. Until this startling demand for an increase was made everybody supposed that Austria saw nothing ahead of her which might disturb her peace, but immediately upon the submission of Gonchowski's estimates European politicians began to wonder for what trouble Austria was looking. By a process of elimination they finally arrived at the conclusion that Austria must have designs on the Balkans. The Austria-Russia plan of reform for the Balkans has failed. Russia is sufficiently engaged in the far east to keep her hands tied. Austria feels that it is a propitious moment to go ahead to Salonica. But Italy objects to Austria touching any part of Albania on the east coast of the Asiatic. Italy herself feels that she has reversionary interests there. If Austria started to "reform" Albania, Italy would interfere, Hence both Italy and Austria are now forming, and the annual Balkan war "bond has begun to lower." MARRIAGE HAS BEEN UNHAPPY. Husband Seeks Divorce from Daughter of Ex-Vice President Morton. The daughter ex-Vice President Morton is married to the daughter de Perlgrand, is now in this country, DREHESS OF VALENAY while her husband, who has since his marriage has assumed the title of Duke of Valence, has applied to the Paris courts for annulment of the marriage. Secret of Military Success One of the favorite maxims of Gen. Grant, and one certainly in accord with human nature, was that in every closely contested battle there comes a time when both sides are exhausted. When this condition arises, he said, the army that first breaks the bill and puts itself in motion is likely to win. A blow then is worth a dozen previous ones. Queen Believed in Evil Eye. Queen Isabella believed in the evil eye, believed that the Italian Bourbons possessed it and believed that they cast it upon her to her detriment. She was a victim of it, she maintained, from the hour of her birth, for both her mother, Queen Christina, and her aunt, the duchess of Seville, were members of that house. Could an Expert Telegrapher When a boy in his father's office George J. Gould learned the telegrapher's art, and he has kept it up ever since. A private wire connects Georgian court, his home in Lakecook, N. J., with his office in Broadway, New York, and as Mrs. Gould also understands telegraphy they are able to chat whenever occasion demands. Admire Rocky Mountain Scenery. Arnold Hockey and his party, Prince Holophene, who have been touring Colorado, after attending the opening of the St. Louis fair, declare that the Rocky mountain scenery in the centennial state surpasses anything to be found in the Alps. rm ee . mer \ | , Ui as Rare ea eran ‘Nis.

The lace, backed with chiffon, appears between bouillonles of rose-red pink taffetas. These fashion the yoke to which the blouse is shirred, a band of shirred tux ornamented with olive buttons passing across the bust and confining the fulness of the sleeves on the inner seam. Pongee With Velvet and Lace. Ponges in all colors is a notable favorite of fashion, but is never more attractive than in the undyed shade, that is neither yellow nor tan, which was the one chosen for this smart gown. The soft silk lends itself to the plats in both waist and skirt with singular success and the lovely tone is greatly enhanced by the touches of brown chiffon velvet and the trimming of ceru lace. The blouse is a most becoming one and includes shoulder extensions that give breadth without exaggeration while it is closed invisible 1 Design by May Manton. at the front and left shoulder seam. The **skirt** is both new and graceful and is cut in twelve gores with extensions on each that form the fan plains. To make the gown for a woman of medium size will be required, for waist 4 yards of material 21, 3¾ yards 27 or 2 yards 44 inches wide, with ¾ yards of velvet for belt and trimming; for skirt 16¾ yards 21 or 8¼ yards 44 inches wide when material has figure or nap; 12 yards 27 or 6¾ yards 44 inches wide when material has neither figure nor nap. New Lingerie The very lightest pink and blue batiste is in favor for underclothing. It washes well and is not by any means so ruinously expensive as silk. French women stow these delicate articles in what is called a lingerie basket, covered with cretonne and trimmed with ruchings and lace, interlined with plain color in harmony with its contents. This forms quite a pretty adjunct to my lady's chamber, and the cover is generally wadded, a large, flat bat on the top. Ribbons form the hinges, but there are pockets inside for holding sash bags, which give the different articles a delightful aroma. In these baskets these dainty garments are not in any way crushed, and sometimes they are divided in four and have a series of trays for each kind of lingerie. It should be large enough to hold a petticoat at the base, and the corset covers are stowed away under straps of ribbon in the lid. These baskets are mostly of wicker, and are rather a pretty present to give a bride, or, indeed, to any friend. A Fish Net Photograph Holder. She bought a coarse fish net fish and tacked it taut on a wall. Then the four corners of the photographs were tucked into the mesh of the net and held tight. While the net affords no protection from dust, flies and inquisitive fingers, in this day of inexpensive photography pictures come and go with amazing frequency, and one often lays aside a photograph which has grown out of date for a new one of the same person. Summer Shoes. Shoes in a light champagne shade will be much seen this summer, adorned with chiffon or embroidered in the prevailing tones of the costume. Distinctly novel are the tongueless shoes, the stockings showing through the lacing, although lacing is rather a mismomer, for they are fastened by the most lovely ribbons imaginable, terminating in a large bow near the toe. The smartest tongueless shoes have a perforated pattern. Naturally, with the hose so much in evidence, only the very prettiest designs are worn. Alum in Rinsing Water Alum used in the rinsing water will prevent green from fading. A handful of salt will set blue. Oxgall is used for gray or brown. Haywater, made by pouring boiling water over hay, is excellent for washing tan or brown linen; when this is not used the garments will soon look faded and bleached.

Rub this off when it is well dried and polish with whiting and a chamois skin. With the Housewife Dampen crushed-looking chiffon lightly with gin, then iron it while damp. Kitchen towels should be washed out every day after the dinner things are washed and boiled at least once a week. An egg whisk made of wire set in a wooden handle is a necessity in every kitchen. It is required for clearing soup, beating whites of eggs, cream and to make chocolate froth. To clean bamboo furniture rub with a small brush, dipped in warm water and salt. The salt prevents the bamboo becoming yellow. Clean wicker chairs and Japanese and Indian matting in the same way. Directly a saucepan is empty and taken from the fire, fill it with cold water. When time allows, add a piece of soda and boil out the vessel. Saucepans treated like this are easy to wash and always in good order when wanted. New Eads for Summer Girl New Fads for Summer Girl. That bewitching creature known as the Summer Girl, who comes each year to charm us anew, plans to introduce this season many new fashion fads. She is studying more than ever every little detail of her dress, and her aim is to look a finished picture. She orders her hat to match her frock, and then—not content with this—she selects her parasol, her veil and her gloves to carry out perfectly the color harmony of her costume. The majority of her gowns for summer time wear will be in delicate tirts. Already she is showing a preference for faint gray, ivory tints and the palest of greens. The fabrics she selects are soft and silky, and the greater number of them are transparent. In place of serge and chevion, she will wear the new silky, supple mohair or Sicilienne, and she specially favors the voiles and the soft, pliable taffetas. Her gowns will be elaborate, but never will their elaboration interfere with their artistic effect. Lace Medallions for Hosiery Trimming A pair of lace medallions, left over from the summer frock, can be put to excellent use in trimming stockings to match the gown. For instance, with a pongee gown piped with DOTTED LAWN No material is prettier for little girls than simple lawn and no bing makes a smarter or more tasteful trimming than collar and accessories of plain material embroidered by hand. This very charming little frock is white, ring-dotted with blue, and is combined with a cape collar, standing collar and cuffs of plain white linen which are buttonholed at their edges and embroidered in a simple design with white mercerized cotton thread. The dress is eminently simple and attractive and is laid in wide ner brown and trimmed with lace medallions, a plain pair of tan lace stockings were made very smart by the use of lace medallions, one just above each instep. They were first applauded on the stockings with silk thread, in very fine stifches, then the lace beneath was cut away, and the edges of the stocking buttonhole stitched closely and finely to the wrong side of the medallion. Worn with brown suede shoes, they gave a dainty finishing touch to the costume. For Morning Wear House coats that are loose and entirely comfortable without being in the least careless are always in demand and make most delightful garments for morning wear. This one fulfills all the requirements and is box plaited below a smoothly titted tux over which the big collar is arranged. The sleeves are plain and in bell style but finished with the frills which are always becoming and the entire garment is one quite certain to give ample satisfaction. As illustrated the material is flowered dimly with collar of tucking and frills of embroidery, but various c. combinations can be made.

A deliciously cool and refreshing drink for an invalid is orange pulp served in a glass. To prepare it you cut the fruit in halves crosswise and scoop out the pulp, rejecting all the seeds and white fiber. A sharp knife may be used to aid in the process, so that the delicate globules may be broken as little as possible. Sprinkles with sugar and stand the glasses on ice for ten minutes. Pineapple syrup may be added to give zest. WITH EMBROIDERY. tucks in both waist and skirt, which not alone serve as trimming but give additional body to the material. The waist is plain across the shoulders and at the back but full at the front and blouses slightly over the belt while the sleeves form large puffs be low the elbows and the skirt is straight, gathered at its upper edge and joined to the waist by means of a narrow belt. The quantity of material required for the medium size, 10 years, is 7 yards 21, 5½ yards 27 or 4½ yards 44 inches wide, with ½ yard of linen for collar and cuffs. Starting from Brussels, there are three ways of reaching the battlefield of Waterloo—by rail, by steam tramcar, or by coach. The trip by coach is decidedly preferable, as one gets an excellent opportunity to see the country and observe farm and village life in Belgium. The field of Waterloo is about twelve miles from Brussels, and he coach fare there and back is surely reasonable enough, seven francs, about $1.40, with an extra franc for he driver. battlefield is the Mound of the Belgian Lion. The mound rises 200 feet above the surface, and so much earth is taken for its erection that the original level of the ground for nearly mile around has been lowered seven feet. On top of the mound, upon granite pedestal, is the enormous Belgian lion, weighing nearly twenty eight tons, and made from cannon captured from the French during the conflict. It is a simple, dignified and distinctive monument of the great battle. If the road to Waterloo, after leaving the park, were only as comfortable to the body as the beauties of Nature are to the eye, the limit of perfection would be reached. Every foot of the road, except a narrow strip on one side. Is stones as to occasion such a prodigious amount of looting that the Belle A CARTE D'ARCHIVES Belle Alliance. mere memory is misery. It is, therefore, a grateful relief to the passengers to clamber down from their seats and enjoy the freedom of pedestrians when the driver pulls up for his first stop at an unprepossessing looking inn in the unplecturesque village of Waterloo. This inn, moreover, is the first war museum that the tourist encounters, and, although he may refuse the liquid refreshment that a bustling French woman stands ready to provide, he cannot gracefully escape the payment of his first extra half-fare for the inspection of Waterloo souvenirs. The battle was fought from three to five miles beyond, but the village of Waterloo has given its name to that momentous struggle of June 18, eighty nine years ago, because it was the Duke of Wellington's headquarters previous to the battle, and many of his letters and despatches were sent from this inn. On that account, it is one of those places which must be seen when doing the battle field. The museum consists of two rooms immediately over the ground floor. One is very small and contains nothing of interest. The other is considerably larger. Scores of old muskets, sabres and other destructive weapons are suspended from the walls. In glass cases, amid a jumble of minor reliies, are two or three skulls and a number of small bones, plonged up in 1855 grusome reminders, indeed, of that fearful carnage that has made the year 1851 memorable. All these, however, are of secondary interest, compared to the three great reliies in the room—two old bedsteads and one miserable tattered arm chair. The latter, was the Duke of Wellington's chair when he occupied the room, and a small desk is also shown, which is said to have been used by him. The Duke slept in one of the beds previous to the battle, although not on the eve of the conflict, for he was at the famous ball given by the Countess of Richmond in Brussels. Upon the other bed, Col. Sir Alexander Gordon, one of Britain's most popular officers, died a few hours after being brought, mortally wounded, to the house, Leav Monument Monuments on Field. ing the unattractive village of Waterloo, with its dirty children, whose only diversion seems to be to run after the coach and keep up an incessant cry for centimes, the journey is continued along the same road which was tramped by thousands of the allied troops on their way to action. Within less than two miles, the little village of Mount St. Jean is reached. This formed the center of the allied forces, and a mile beyond marked some of the fiercest fighting of the day. The farm of La Haye Sainte was close by, and that was the only position occupied by the allied troops that Napoleon captured. A little less than a mile beyond the village are two moments, one to the memory of Col Gordon and the other in honor of the Hannoverian officers of the German Legion. A few yards beyond this spot and towering over everything else on the --- battlefield is the Mound of the Belgian Lion. The mound rises 200 feet above the surface, and so much earth was taken for its erection that the original level of the ground for nearly a mile around has been lowered several feet. On top of the mound, upon a granite pedestal, is the enormous Belgian Lion, weighing nearly twenty-eight tons, and made from cannon captured from the French during the conflict. It is a simple, dignified and majestic monument of the great battle that shaped the destiny of Europe for the 19th century. A splendid view of all the points of interest over the wide field is obtained from its summit. The land presents no sharp features be yond slightly undulating hills, and it is cultivated almost entirely with grain. When seen in the harvest sea liance. son the yellow gently-waving tops, spread over hundreds of acres, present a wonderfully peaceful restful sight, and it is difficult to imagine that this is the graveyard of over 29,000 human beings. Waterloo has always had a peculiar fascination for old soldiers, and ever since the days of Major Cotton one or more retired British soldiers have passed the closing years of their lives there, cking out a fairly comfortable subsistence as guides. The dean of his class now is an old but cheerful member of a Highland regiment. He wears an imposing costume of brown, heavily trimmed with black braid. His little cane is never at rest as he points hurriedly here and there over the field in the midst of his fluent description of all the military tactics employed by the opposing armies. It is a genuine pleasure to accompany Lim to Hongmont, for the intensity of interest, which he infuses into his words recalls the fearful charges of the French and their heroic repulse by the British with startling vividness. The care that is bestowed upon the ruins of Hongmont to keep them in a properly ruinous condition is also of material aid in these reminiscences of 1815. The usual half-hour admission is extracted before entering the gate of the chateau. In America the term chateau would be simplified into that a farm-house. None of the beauties, ancient or modern, that the word chateau anticipates is to be seen. The buildings are very plain and are occupied by farming people. The old chapel, now separated from the main house, is one of the most interesting of the ruins. The French shells fire to a portion of the chateau, and before they were extinguished one end of the chapel was burned and the wooden crucifix over the altar was scourched. To this day it is said that the flames stopped when they reached the figure of Christ. The figure has always remained in its original place but a wire screen now protects it, for about two years ago some tourists cut off one of the legs. The image has been repaired, but a closer watch is kept over the ruins of Hougmont. s on Field. The brick wall surrounding the inner orchard is still perforated with the same holophiles through which the British fire now moved down the French as they came up to the very muzzle of the arms come, indeed, lining up on the wall only to need instant death. The French never got inside the orchard. Napoleon sacrificed the souls of his best troops in a vain effort to capture this improvised fortress. It is the key to the British position, it was one of the most important points. Had Napoleon been successful, it would have enabled him to turn the flank of the allied army, and instead of St. Helena a renewed residence of the Toulliers would undoubtedly have awaited him. We learn wisdom from failure more than from success; we often discover what will do by finding out what will not do. Farned Smiles. --- Remarkable Automata Made For the Chapter XIV An extraordinary piece of mechanism was constructed for the amusement of Louis XIV when a child. It consisted of a small coach drawn by two horses, in which was the figure of a lady, with a footman and page behind. According to the account given by M. Camus, the constructor, this coach being placed at the extremity of a table of a determinate size, the coachman smacked his whip, and the horses immediately set out, moving their legs in a natural manner. When the carriage reached the edge of the table it turned on a right angle, and proceeded along that edge till it arrived opposite to the place where the King was seated. It then stopped, and the page, getting down, opened the door, upon which the lady alighted, having in her hand a petition, which she presented with a curtssey. After waiting some time she again curtsey, and re-entered the carriage; the page then resumed his place, the coachman whipped up his horses, which began to move, and the footman, running after the carriage, jumped up behind it. Louis XIV had an automaton opera in five acts, with fresh scenes for each, it measured 1614 inches in breadth, 12 inches 4 lines in height and 1 inch 3 lines in thickness for the working of the machinery.

An interesting discovery has just been made at Queuez, (Lozezre) France, by some customs officials. As the result of anonymous information they climbed into the spire of the church, and after a careful search found a still which, although dating from the seventeenth century, was yet in a perfect state of preservation and capable of being worked. Naturally, the requirements of the law with regard to apparatus of this description had not been compiled with in this case but who was the offender? The view in charge of the building? The sacristan who visited weekly? Interrogated, the former declared that he had only recently come into the parish and had never set foot in the spire. He was therefore totally ignorant of the existence of the incriminating vessel. The sacristan, however, could not allege so valid an excuse and his explanation not being considered satisfactory, he will be proceeded against. Life Size Rickshaw.

Case Puzzles Surgeons A curious discovery was made by Dr. Conzens of West Ham (Eng.) hospital, in a post-mortem examination of a laborer and ex-soldier, named Edwin Quince of Manor park. Quince broke his leg for the fourth time a few months ago, and after ten weeks in hospital he had an attack of pleuria, and died from *too low*. While removing the organs of the neck after death, Dr. Conzens was surprised to fire a piece of metal, about a quarter of an inch in diameter and 1¼ inches long. It was neither corroded nor oxidized, and there was nothing to show how the metal got into the neck. The metal had nothing to do with the cause of death, neither had the broken leg. Quince died from lockjaw, but here was nothing to indicate its origin. Tomb Many Centuries Old A discovery of considerable interest to antiquaries was recently made at Branecapeth, Durham, England. While some workmen were engaged in the Pitt House quarry, they came across a stone vault, five feet long and two feet wide, covered by a slab. On removing the slab human remains were discovered, which crumbled to dust immediately they were disturbed, leaving a part of the skull and four teeth, together with the remains of a bangle and jing in such a condition that they could not be removed. Archaeologists who have examined these artifacts have expressed the opinion that the remains are those of a man who lived in the fourth or fifth century. Esquimaux' Appetites The Espiniaux have enormous appetites. An Arctic explorer relates that he saw a boy eat ten pounds of solid food and drink a gallon and a half of liquid with much gusto.

Philips tells how a lot of seventeen years ate twenty-four pounds of beef in twenty-four hours. 25,000 SETTLERS TO TAKE CLAIMS ROSEBUD RESERVATION MECCA F LAND SEEKERS FROM EASTERN CITIES. The management of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway is plan- to carry between 20,000 and 25,000 people to the Rosebud Indian reservation in South Dakota, to be opened by the United States government for settlement late next month. A very large percentage of the land-seekers will come from the crowded sections of the east, and special trains will be run from this city to accommodate them and those from the central west who participate in the drawing of lots. President Roosevelt's proclamation specifies approximately 382,000 acres to be distributed to the lucky ones in tracts of 160 acres each. This means that there will be about 2,400 quarter-sections parceled out. Judging from the inquiries being received by the railroads directly interested, it is believed that more than 50,000 people will try for the lucky lots on the day of the drawing. Many of the unhucky ones will return to their old haunts, but the railroads believe that thousands of them will buy lands in districts adjacent to the reservation. The industrial department of the St. Paul system is planning to care for the disappointed men by arranging for them to visit other lands. Frederic A. Miller, general passenger agent of the St. Paul said: "We are receiving an average of 40, inquiries a day from all parts of the east and central west, and after the first of next month this average will certainly be at least a thousand. It will be one of the greatest movements of the kind in the history of the nation, for the Rosebud lands are about the last of the government's desirable farming property to be opened for development. "Nothing will be left undone to care for the great crowds, and every attention will be shown both the lucky and the unlucky ones. We expect a big movement of farmers from the cramped parts of the east, and many of these men are going to South Dakota determined to take up settlement whether they get free lands or not. I believe that such places as Yankton, Godds, Platte and Chamberlain are to become good, hustling, substantial cities, and that within a very short time. Much important building for these towns has already been planned and the structures will be put up to stay." Some men marry windows because they are too lazy to do the counting themselves.

Add to this, that Naples dispatches with Constantinople the honor of possessing the most beautiful site of any city to Europe. And when one has climbed the height that leans to the tomb of Virgil, hard by the grotto of Pelligrio, and looks down over the city, rising like an ancient amphitheater on the slopes of the hills that encircle the azure bay, with Vesuvius in the distance, its smoky plume tading into the blue, the sight is one that brings a great joy with it such Twelfth Century Fountain COLLEZIONE DI SAN MARCO Twelfth Century Fountain, Church of San Martino, as few scenes do that meet the eye of men. Forms and colors harmonize; a dreamy haunt, luminous and tender, enraps the scene.

And farther still up on this road you pass by the entrances of numerous villas built upon the precipitous side of the hill that overhangs the smooth, mirror-like bay. This, too, is a suburb of the Naples that the stranger knows, and in some cases owns. The beau ideal of a happy life to many Italians, especially those who cultivate one or other of the fine arts, is to have a villa at Posillipo, where they may pass the final years of their lives. streets. in the newer city, where the serious and affairs are conducted, the wide and splendid, the swing and showy with a bright color and gilding Neapolitans love.

O there is the sea; on an mental mountain whose waters shine like jewels of the bright sum. Down in the splendid the Villa Nazionale, a white marble statues cop great masterpieces of Rome, and under the shades and semitr The people of the place, the wealthy nobles—the princes and dukes and marquises—have some share in this beautiful city. Even the innumerable army of "cavalieri" must live somewhere in Naples, and breathe its air; and the working people, the dealers, the vendors who perambulate the streets, and those others who depend apparently upon chance for their daily food, have to find shelter in this large city. The character of the population in its diversity is indicated by the various buildings of the city. Here, close to the royal palace, rises the Theater San Carlo, huge, grandiose, stately and heavy with the weight of its wealth and dignity—a grand temple to the lyric muse. However it stands in comparison with other theaters, it is a noble structure without, and within its six tiers of boxes, its wide proscenium and spacious stage, make it one of the finest theaters in Europe, while its musical record goes Old Street CARRERA Old Street in Napica from the early half of the eighteenth century to the present time. There is much that is peculiar and picturesque about this people. They group admirably; as you pass along the poorer streets and come upon an open sunlighted space you find the women sitting around the sheep deows, engaged in work or indulging in gossip. Here, in such streets as this, and that other high street the Palmetto at Santa Lucia that looks like Jacob's ladder, without the angels are asking and descending—the poorer people of Naples live. In many cases they have but sleeping places for the night; their day is passed in the sunshine; they live on little, and not absolutely happy, are so nobly cheerful as to deceive a tenderhearted philanthropist. The movement of life, the multitudes hurrying to and fro, the bustle and the rumor of comparatively profitees labor, which fill the streets and squares and squares of Naples, are what distinguishes it from other cities. In Naples the sounds never cease. The 2017 city, said one who went seeking quiet on these sunny scenes, scares not to rest either by day or night. When darkness comes down, and you might expect silence to prevail, the twangling of a unit is heard, and the caucus voice of a belated servender breaks upon your car. Or it is some homeward-bound wild reveller, attempting to lighten his path with song; but he murders the tune, and there is a wink uncertainty in the notes that affects the music. Night or day, it is always the same—nose, sheating, cracking of whips loud as pistol shots, ringing laughter and the eries of the many vendors of all sorts of things who go about the n, Church of San Martino. streets. in the newer parts of the city, where the serious and important affairs are conducted, the streets are wide and splendid, the stores glittering and showy with a display of bright color and gilding such as the Neapolitans love. Memories of Paris, or Milan come to one in looking on the fine buildings, the spacious streets and the gallery and brilliancy of the whole scene. The vista at the beginning or the end of one of these streets is charming. On one side there is the sea; on another a monumental mountain whose abundant waters shine like jewels in the rays of the bright sun. Down in the splendid gardens of the Villa Nazionale, where, amid white marble statues copied after the great masterpieces of Greece and Rome, and under the shade of palms and cedars and semi-tropical plants, rich and poor may wander. Over the low sea wall to the left the tiry waves of the Mediterranean may be seen gently caressing the shore and making a murmur rather than a splash. Between the dark branches of the thickly planted flexes you get glimpses of the sea, and beyond in the shining distance the dreamlike form of Capri's high hills form a darker blue outline against the blue sky. To the stranger who dwells in Naples for a short time the Villa Nazionale, with its silent charm and with all that induces to feed the imagination, becomes a place of resort. There are other resorts for the tourist in search of the picturesque or histrical. On the side of a hill overlooking the city, and surrounded by choice gardens, stands the Palace of Capo di Monte, a charming spring and summer retreat. It was built for King Charles III, who reigned here from 1734 to 1759. But perhaps the THE RAIN most pervading of the memories that are attracted to this palace concentrate around the person of Gioacchino Murat, at one time, through the disposition of his brother-in-law, the Emperor Napoleon I. king of Naples. Indeed, other royal residences in Naples and its immediate vicinity, such as the grandifose royal palace of the city and the smaller royal villa at Portail, are closely associated with this monarch, once a postillion for the visitors to his father's inn, then a soldier of fortune, finally the dashing and unguarded cavalry officer, the husband of Napoleon's sister Caroline, and finally king of Naples.

He was born in Missouri March 29, 1873 on a farm, and attended the dis- O trict school until he was 16. His parents moved to Fulton, Mo., where he entered High School, graduating from there in 1891 with first honors. Then he took a normal course at Lincoln Institute, where he led his class, graduating in 1895, and was class validictorian. He then taught school six years; one year as principal of Martinsburg, three years principal of Ironton school and two years as first assistant in the High School at Fulton, Mo., after which he with his parents moved to Oklahoma, where they now live. In 1902, Mr. Henderson still seeking more knowledge, entered Drake University from which he will graduate next week.
