K There is talk of Japanese cuttipg ofi the water supply of Port Arthur, but this is declared to be impossible, as condensed sea water is the chief source of the supply, the wells only being used b> the Chinese. Czar May Go to Front. Emperor Nicholas is arranging to gc to Kharkoff May 23 to bid farewell tc the Tenth army corp® upon its departure for the far east. It is learned from the highest source that the emperor is exceedingly anxious to go to the front. To his intimates recently he has spoken much on the subject, but he realizes that conditions *ol state demand his presence at home. Nevertheless it is now not considered impossible that he will follow the example of all the Romanoff dynasty during the last century and undergo his baptism of fire. To fight with the army is one of the traditions of his house. Alexander I. entered Paris with the allies after the battle of Waterloo; Nicholas I. died in a common soldier’s hovel in the Crimea, and Alexander 11., with the heir apparent was at the front during the Turkish war. Perhaps an additional reason why Emperor Nicho- ’ las desires to meet the enemy is that he carries on his body the mark of a wound inflicted by a fanatical Japanese policeman when he was attacked in a theater at Otsu, during his visit to Japan in 1891, only being saved from death, by . the noble action of his cousin, Prince George of Greece. Should he finally | conclude to go the emperor would not i assume active command of the troops, but would have an imperial headquar- , ters, taking with him all the members Jof his military cabinet. Being on the , spot the emperor would more easily adi vise Gen. Kuropatkin in the event of any question of great military moment which he might desire to submit to his majesty. But, of course, the chief advantage would be the stimulus whidh i the personal presence of the sovereign . would have on the officers and men. Details of Attack. Tokio, May 13. —Later details of the Russian attack on Anju last Tuesday i state that the fighting lasted all day. i Japanese reenforcements arrived from Pingyang at one o’clock in the afternoon. The Russians retired Wednesday morning at the approach of further Japanese reenforcements from Kosen. The Japanese are pursuing the Russians in the direction of Kaiehong. I The Japanese casualties at Anju were four killed and six wounded. The Russian casualties were about 50. A Russian prisoner said that the Cossack i raiders number 500. VERDICT A SURPRISE. Jury Finds Tha. Death of Young i Wentz Was Accidental —Relatives Not Satisfied. Bristol, Tenn., May 13.- —"He came to his death by the accidental discharge of his own pistol” is-the verdict of the ! coroner’s jury, which for nearly two ' days has been investigating the cir--1 cumstances and conditions surrounding the death of Edward L. Wentz, the f young millionaire, whose body was . discovered decayed and unburiedt-on a spur of Black mountain last Sunday afternoon. The first and second days’ sessions of the investigation were held at the spot on the mountain where the body was discovered. The verdict came as a surprise in every quarter, as the , majority of the people who heard the evidence and examined the conditions surrounding the body as it lay on the mountain side believe the cauke to have been suicide, while there are many others who say there is crime so deep and cunning as to make the affair more mysterious than ever. Regardless of the jury’s verdict of ' accidental killing it is certain that detectives will remain in this section in connection with the case. There is little doubt that the Wentz family believe there was crime in the death. Mr. D. B. Wentz expressed himself as of the ! opinion that there had been an en- : counter before his brother was killed. Philadelphia, May 13. — Dr. John S. I Wentz, father of E. L. Wentz, who was found dead in Virginia, gave out a statement in which he expressed the conviction that his son was murdered, and when later he was acquainted with the„verdict of the coroner’s jury he refused to change his belief, but declined to discuss the matter further. Fire in Exposition Building. St. Louis, May 13. —A can of turpentine exploded in the Austrian pavilion at the world’s fair Wednesday night, and, ; besides inflicting severe injury to Sam • Saulson, a painter, started a fire that for a time threatened the entire section of the foreign buildings. The exposition fire company, within a block of the Austrian pavilion, were the first to respond to the alarm, and the fire was extinguished before great damage to the building was done. The cause of the explosion is not known. New World’s Swimming Record. New York. May 13. —During swimming contests in connection with the opening of a public bathing pavilion in Jersey City, C. N. Daniels, of the New York Athletic club, has established a new worlds record of 1:10 for 110 yards. The course included four turns. The old record of 1:13 1-5 was made by James $. Leary at San Francisco, in March, 1902. . p'77 ! Incendiary FireTn lowa. Charjtop, la., May 13. —Fire of, incendiary origin damaged all buildings on two sides of the public square Thursday. the total loss being $25,000.

CDUVEHTIGiI B MILtD TO ORDER ■ ILLINOIS REPUBLICANS GATHER AT SPRINGFIELD TO NAME STATE TICKET. CANNON NAMED AS TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN No Nominations for Governor Yet Made—Parker Men Win in Indiana and Rule State Convention — Hearst Followers Bolt. I Springfield, 111., May 13.—1 t was ten minutes after the noon hour Thursday when the republican convention was called to order, because of the confusion attending the seating of delegates. No nominations were made during the day. Gov. Yates was the first of the prominent figures to arrive and he was given a royal ovation by his friends as he entered the hall and took a seat in the Morgan county delegation. Then came Attorney General Hamlin, and his followers attempted to outdo the demonstration of the Yates men. Senators Cullom and Hopkins and Speaker Cannon entered the hall arm in arm and the members of the convention arose with one accord as they mounted the platform and shouted until they tired. ” As this demonstration subsided, Chairman Fred H. Rowe, of the state central committee, rapped the gavel and announced that the convention would be opened with prayer by Rev. George H. Simmons, of Peoria. Chairman Rowe next asked the secretary to read the call for the convention and it was read by Assistant Bert McCan, of Bloomington. Cannop Made Temporary Chairman. Following this Rowe presented as the temporary chairman of the conven-, tion Congressman Joseph G. Cannon, and with an unanimous shout of aye the convention, approved the nomination. He made a formal speech of acceptance. Hanby Jones, of Crawford county, presented a resolution providing that the rules of the national house be made the rules of the convention, and it was unanimously adopted. On motion of Lieut. Gov. Northcott a resolution was adopted providing that all resolutions be referred to committee without debate. The convention then settled down to the hearing of the reports of the various congressional caucuses, which, on motion of National Committeeman Graeme Stewart, were sent to the secretary. Congressman Fuller presented a resolution providing that all motions and resolutions on the Subject of credentials be presented to the credentials committee, and it was adopted without division. When the reports of the caucuses had been submitted, the convention, on motion of Congressman Fuller, tool: a recess until five p. m. Indiana Democrats Meet. Indianapolis, Ind., May 13.—The first sessic i of the Indiana democratic icon-' ventic i was called to order Thursday by Stade Chairman O’Brien. The platform will be adopted and a state ticket nominated at a second session to be held, here July 20. The contest was for control of the delegation to the national convention. National Committeeman Taggart, the members of the state committee and nearly all of the old party leaders have been for weeks open ad- ' vocates of the noination of Judge Parker, of New York, while the followers of W'. R. Hearst have been outspoken in their choice. In the preliminary county and district organizations the Parker following has carried a majority of the counties, and all the districts but the Twelfth. Os the 1,547 delegates to the convention, the Parker people have been claiming from I, to 1,100, conceding the others to Hearst. At the district caucuses held Wednesday night to select the 26 delegates, Hearst carried but one district, the Twelfth, electing his two delegates. Parker followers carried the other 12. The followers of Hearst have been making affidavits in several districts, and collecting evidence which they say will be presented at the national convention, to prove their claims that they were not given fair treatment, and their delegates were the real choice of the district. Contests from the Second, Sixth, Tenth and Thirteenth districts will be carried to St. Louis. At the : caucuses Wednesday night rump Hearst meetings were held, and a second set of delegates selected. Hearst Men Bolt. Washington, May 13. —The democratic I convention of the District of Columbia ■ Thursday resulted in a split. The 18 ■ Hearst delegates bolted, and threaten to ' send a separate delegation to the na- ‘ tional convention. The split occurred 1 over the election of a temporary chairman. The Hearst men declined to vote, and appealed from the decision of the chair that a motion to elfect a temporary chairman was carried. The appeal was ove ruled and the Hearst : delegates immediately adjourned to an- I I other meeting place, where they held a | ’ ■ separate convention. The regular con- I vention elected Edyin B. Hay tempoi rary chairman. -i -- -U ;j /' 7 —: —-— ; — Proposition Is Rejected. !

HOLDING OFFICERS AT BAY SHERIFF IS UNABLE TO CAPTURE WISCONSIN SQUATTER. Deitz, the Hunted Man, Still Master of the Situation —Has Wounded Two of His Pursuers. Hayward, Wis., May 13. —J. F. Deitz, the squatter on the lower Chippewa, who is holding Sheriff Peterson and deputies at bay, is still the master of the situation. The country above his home is very rough and dense with thick underbrush, making his capture difficult and hazardous. Several deputies withYresh stock of ammunition were sent out Wednesday. William Elliott, reported to have been killed, returned to Hayward unharmed. He reports two men w’ere shot by Deitz, one being severely wounded, the other with his arm shattered. The wounded men are in an abandoned camp. Dr. Story was sent out from here to attend them, but his guide has not yet been able to pilot him over the trail for fear of Deitz. Deitz sprang into prominence here two years ago during the election trouble, Sheriff Giblin ceiled for the militia to put down a mob, and took a prominent part in counseling against rash actions or overstepping of the law. His friends here do not credit all the stories that come in of his desperate stand. Deitz is wanted for resisting arrest by Deputy Sheriff Wiliam Elliott on Monday on a warrant charging him with contempt of court in violating an injunction issued by Judge Parrish restraining him from interfering with the Chippewa Lumber company’s log drive. ■ Chippewa Falls, Wis., May 13. —A report reached here Thursday that Valentine Weisenbach, who is aiding John F. Dietz in keeping the officers’ posse at bay in Sawyer county, was captured. The report says that the two men were smoked out of a shack which they had been holding, and that while they were making their way back . to Dietz’s home Weisenbach was wounded. Weisenbach is said to have told the officers that Dietz has plenty of ammunition in his house, and, aided by his wife and children, who are expert shots, will hold the officers off for some time. THE NEW CHINESE ARMY. Prince Pu Lun Authorizes Offer to American Veterans to Accept Commissions. Indianapolis, May 13. —Brig. Gen. Edmond F. English, of Yankton, S. D., has written Capt. William E. English, as commander-in-chief of the SpanishAmerican war veterans, notifying him that Prince Pu Lun, Chinese commissioner to the St. Louis exposition, and next in line of succession to the Chinese imperial throne, has authorized him to invite American officers who served in the Spanish war to accept commissions in the new Chinese army, the pay to be the same as that given by this country, rank for rank. Gen. English has been appointed American member of the Chinese general staff. He - says he expects to get several hundred American officers to take commissions. Another Battle Fought. New York, May 13. —Reports have been received that another battle over the Acre dispute has been fought in the upper Purus valley, says a Herald dispatch from Rio Janeiro, Brazil. Col. Arujo, who started from Chandless with 220 men, attacked the Peruvians at Santa Rosa. The fight lasted 24 hours. Finally! Col. Arujo had to withdraw after losing many killed and wounded.

Dover, Del., May 13. —Counsel for Mrs. Mary A. Powell, who was convicted of murder in the second degree for killing Estfelle Albin, Thursday withdrew their motion for a new trial, and Mrs. Powell was sentenced to imprisonment for life. THE NEWS BOILED DOWN. Money rates remain unchanged in Npw York, in spite of the engagement of $9,600,000 in gold for shipment to Europe. Fifteen persons were injured in a collision between a Santa Fe passenger train and an electric car at Whittier, Cal. The movement in behalf of R. R. Hitt far the republican vice presidential nomination is strongly indorsed in Washington. Wisconsin republicans expect there will be two conventions and two state j tickets named as a result of the close war on La Follette. There are grave fears at Victoria, B. C., for the safety of the sealing schooners Umbrina and Tramp, which are a month overdue. The two schooners, carried 40 men.

ihpobimt in ' FOB CONFERENCE ■ \ CHURCHMEN DISCUSS BAN ON DANCING, CARD-FLAYING AND THEATER GOING MAY REMOVE PRESENT • RIGID RESTRICTIONS Delegates to Methodist Gathering at Los Angeles Take Up Question — Memberships of Future Meetings May Be Reduced. Los Angeles, Cal., May 13. —A question of importance which has come prominently to the fore in the Methodist general conference proceedings dqring the past 12 hours is that involving a change in discipline to the extent of entirely removing the church ban on the pleasures of dancing, card playing and theater going. It seems not unlikely that the conference will vote to. remove the present rigid restriction regarding the indulgence of these recreations. The subcommittee of the committee on state of the church, of which Judge H. S. Sibley is chairman, has reported back to : the main body its recommendation upon this matter, ip which it a radical change in the church rules on the subject, making it simply an advisory restriction, instead of mandatory prohibition as at present. Under the prevailing rule the member of the church who attends a dapep or theater is guilty of a direct infraction of the rules of the churijh and may be punished by expulsion, but if. the recommendation now proposed is adopted this penalty will be rendered entirely optional with the authorities. The committee on state of' the church has not decided definitely just what form the recommendation of the committee to the general body will take, but it seems assured that it will propose some radical changes in the discipline along the line outlined. This committee is also considering other important questions, among w'hich is one investigating the ratio of representation in the general conference. The plan which has been proposed which has met favor, if adopted, will reduce the membership of the general conference from 748 to 500. Bishop I. W. Joyce presided over Thursday’s session of the general conference, which was addressed during the morning hours by the Missionary Bishops J. C. Hartsell, of Africa, and F. W. Warne, of India.

EVOLUTION OF THE CHICK. A Study in Embryology Which Cannot Fail to Be of Interest to Poultry Raisers. One of the best means of studying embryology is the egg of the fowl—any breed will do. So alike are the embryos of such vastly different beings, as the fish, the fowl, reptiles, the horse, the man, at certain corresponding stages in their prenatal career that only a skilled scientist can tell “tother from which.” All animals start life as a single cell (none larger than the size of a pin point), and although the processes of nutrition are dissimilar, the principles are practically the same. The Incubator has scarcely gone on its hatching career or the hen has scarcely set on her eggs 12 hours before some lineaments of the head and body of the chicken appear. The heart may be seen to beat at the end of the second day. It has at this time somewhat the form of a horseshoe, but no blood yet appears. At the end of two days two vesicles of blood are to be distinguished; i the pulsation of which is very visible. One of these is the left ventricle, and the other the root, of the great artery. At the fiftieth hour an auricle of the heart appears, resembling noose folded fi»wn upon itself. The beating of the heart is* first observed in the auricle, and afterwards in the ventricle. At the end of the seventieth hour the wings are distinguishable; and on the head two bubbles are seen for the brain, one for the bill, and two for the fore and hind parts of the head. Towards the end of four days the two auricles already visible draw nearer to the heart than before. The liver appears toward the fifth day. At the end of 131 hours, the first voluntary motion is observed. At the end of seven hours more the lungsand stomach become visible, and four hours later the intestines, the loins and the upper jaw. ,At the’one hundred and forty-fourth hour two ventricles are visible and two drops of blood, instead of the single one as seen before. The seventh day the brain begins to have some consistency. At the one hundred and ninetieth hour of incubation the bill opens and the flesh appears on the breast. In four hours more the breastbone is seen. In six hours after this the ribs appear, forming from the back, and the bill is very visible,-as well as .the gall bladder. The bill becomes green at the end of 236 hours; and, if the chicken he taken out of its covering, it evidently moves itself. The feathers begin to shoot out toward the two hundred and fortieth hour, and the skull becomes gristly. At the two hundred and sixtyfourth hour the eyes appear. At the two hundred and eighty-eighth the ribs are perfect. At the three hundred and thirty-first the spleen draws near the stomach and the lungs to the chest. At the end of 355 hours the bill frequently opens and shuts, and at the end of the eighteenth daj r the first chirp of the chicken is heard. —Wilcox Review. CQOPS FOR SMALL CHICKS. ‘ Models Here Described Have Been Used to Advantage for Quite a Long Time. The coop I use, shown in sketch, is much better if made of pine. It is made in three separate pieces, the roof and bottom being removable. The roof projects over the coop on all sides, but much farther in front and back. This is to keep rain from beating in. The roof > beards are nailed to two narrow pieces, which are just the length of the inside DETAILS OF THE COOP. of the coop, and are placed far enough from the front and the back to fit inside the coop. The cracks are battened. The floor (d) is made to slip in at the back like a drawer. This coop is very easily sunned and cleaned on account of the removable floor and roof. The eight-inch board at'the top in front has holes bored in for ventilation. A wooden button on top board and a two-inch strip at the bottom holds on the frame of wire screen which is used, stormy days when the chicks are too young to run out, and on warm nights. At other times a slatted wooden front (h) is used* I make this coop in two sizes—a single coop 20 inches square, 24 inches high in front and 16 inches in the back, and a double coop is 30 inches long and 24 inches wide.

It is customary on farms to give all the surplus milk to the hogs and let the chickens have what they can successfully forage, when the truth of figures proves conclusively that milk fed ito chickens will produce more pounds of poultry to a given amount of food than can be transformed into hog meat/ and that this poultry meat is on an average worth about double the price per pound that can be obtained for hog meat Notwithstanding this, the hen must still run the gauntlet of a shower of corn cobs, old shoes and flying clubs if she gf-ta a grain or two —- . of corn from the hog pen at any time. —lnland Poultry Journal. Those who know the value of using only the best stock obtainable in the breeding pen are the ones who make high-class poultry pay.
