Democratic Mass Convention.

The Democrats of Carpenter township will meet in mass convention at Remington, on SATURDAY JULY 23, 1904 at three o’clock p. m., for the purpose of nominating candidates for township offices to voted for at the November election. By order of Township Com. Ellis Jones, Chm. C. W. Harner, Sec.

The Democrats of Starke county will select candidates for their county ticket at a primary election to be held in the various precincts of the county on July 30.

A newspaper that objects to officious dictation and corruption may bo called a knocker, but that doesn’t make it one. The squealing comes from the fellow who is knocked.—Oxford Tribune.

The democratic state convention will be held on Wednesday, August 3. While quite a number of names have been prominently * mentioned for the nomination, there is not much certainty who ihemomiuee will be.

Here is the list of candidates to be voted for next November: Democratic, Parker and Davis;

Republican, Roosevelt and Fairv backs; Prohibitionist, Swallow ■«aad Carroll; Socialist, Debs and Hanford; Socialist-Labor, Corregan and Cox; Populist, Watson and Tribbles; Negro Liberty, Scott and Payne.

The New York Herald, the most influent ial paper in tbe east, has come out strongly for Parker and Davis, and gives excellent reasons why he should be elected in preference to Roosevelt. It says editorally:

“Tbe<JO«inentß show that judge

Parker baa the confidence of the people, and that sort of confidence President Roosevelt has not yet inspired. His imperialism and dictatorial ways, together with his revival of the race issue in the sontfc and other rough-rider fads, have awakened among the people, a distrust of Mr. Roosevelt and Ihe republican party. “Mr. Roosevelt has the support of his intimate friends and his political protege, but conservative K>ple eye him with distrust. ey acknowledge that he is irreproachable as an individual^that be is a staunch patriot, fT good husband, a loyal friend. But they

doubt hia capacity for self-control, diatrtet hia judgment and question hie conception of presidential duties.

“Like the German emperor he wishes to meddle in every detail of the public service, to control every department, to rule every official, both lawmaker and executive, to be the source of power and to apply it.

“Between Mr. Roosevelt’s views of the president’s duties and the views of the American people on the subject there is wide difference. He evidently thinks the president of the United States is a sort of a dictator, while the people rightly regard him merely as their chief magistrate, as the executive head of the administration. This domineering conception of his official duties has excited widespread resentment, among republicans and has led him to make mistakes that would have prevented his nomination if the republican party had any other available candidate.”

There are five Republican papers published in Newton county ana each and all call the Benton county delegation to the senatorial convention bogs, swine and numerous other names of endearment.—Fowler Review.

Say, Brother Roby, there are six newspapers published in Newton, please tell us the names of the five Republican papers and don’t you count the Kentland Democrat nor the News - Review. RoselawnThayer - Shelby - Wheatfield, etc., News-Review.

And why not the latter, pray? It carries the free boiler-plate political matter sent out by the Republican press bureau.

If there is anything in having the metropolitan press of the country in favor of a candidate, Judge Parker will win the presidency in a walk. Three-fourths of the big papers advocate his election on the ground largely of national safety for the next four years; and freedom from entangling situations brought on by President Roosevelt’s impetuosness, and which may involve us in a serious war over trivial matters. — Daviess Couuty Democrat.

Personally Judge Parker is an ideal man, clean, brainy, strong and a model American citizen. His views on the money question do not agree with the vast majority of Greene County Democrats but there are other vital issues on which there is perfect .agreement, and Greene County Democrats are willing to sink personal differences when the platform is made. Mr. Parker will have no more loyal supporters than he will get in old Greene.—Bloomtield Democrat.

MINISTERS OPPOSE STREET FAIR Noblesville Ind., July 20: —The Ministerial Association is lighting the proposition for a street fair, which is being promoted by a number of leading business tirms. The ministers threaten to carry the fight to the courts if an attempt is made to use the streets of the city for carnival grounds.

Good Indian Costnnae. A tiptop Indian costume can be made as follows: Take eight or ten yards of ordinary brown dress lining. Using a pair of trousers ami a shirt aa your pattern, cut out trousers and shirt.

Make the trousers fairly snug fitting and fasten down the outside seam of each leg a fringe of the brown lining. Then make a plain shirt, either without sleeves or with sleeves, something like those in a bathing suit. This Is worn over the trousers.

Next get a lot of chicken feathers and glue them to a long strip of lining. Fasten one end to a helmet made of pasteboard or canvas and cowered with the lining. This tail of fe&tbr ers should reach from the head to khe ground. For the feet buy a pair of Indian moccasins, if you can.

Making a Faros.

Two little boys summering In tike country Inclosed a space on the back lawn about three feet square, and In this they put a house, a barn, a row of stalls for stables, a haystack and last, but best of all, an old faahioaed well, with well sweep. This well, which gave the special charm to their little farm and the keenest seat to their play, waa very easily made. They dug a hole that would juat admit a quart tin can that had the top removed, and this they filled with water. ▲ strong little forked branch was stqfk down, and In the crotch of this a long stick waa tied for the sweep, and on the end of this dangled the smaller pole holding the little bucket.- Ladies’ Borne Journal.

RUSS RECONNOITERS

Kuropatkin Starts Out to Find Some Japs and Finds Them Without Difficulty. THE TROUBLE IS TO LOSE THEM

Costs the Russians 1,000 Men for the Information They Gist.

Fight Takes Place at Motien Pass, Being Begun at Night and Continuing Fifteen Hours.

Bt. Petersburg, July 21.—The Associated Press has an excellent reason for stating that Russia will yield In the steamer Malacca case, release the vessel in accordance with the British demand, and express regret at her detention.

London, July 10.—Th s correspondent of The Times at General Kurokl’s headquarters says that the Japanese losses during the fighting at Motien pass 'on July 17 were trifling.

London, July 10. The Morning Post’s correspondent at General Kurokl’s headquarters, telegraphing nnder date of July 17, says: “A Russian force, apparently about 20,000 strong, attacked the front, left and right of the Japanese positions on the western slope of Motien pass at 2 a. m. today under cover of a dense fog. The sudden onslaught drove In the Japanese posts, but ns soon as reinforcements arrived the Japanese gallantly advanced to the attack, and after severe fighting drove off the Russians and reoecupled the position. The Russians retired, their retreat being well covered."

Kuropatkin Reports the Fight.

St. Petersburg, July 19. —A dispatch from General Kuropatkin to the emperor, dated “July 17, on our eastern front,” is given out. After explaining that the attack on Motien pass was merely a reconnaissance in force, and that General Count Keller was in charge, he says: “The left column of the expeditionary force, consisting of three battalions, was dispatched towards Sybey pass. The center column, commanded by Major General Kashtalinsky, consisting of fourteen battalions with twelve guns, was destined to attack Siaokao pass,the heights surmounted by the temple and Wafankan pa Bs.

First Contact at 11 at Night.

“The right column, one battalion strong, Was occupying points where the roads leading to Sinkia and Lakho passes cross in order to cover the right flank of General Ivashtalinsky's column. The general reserve was left at Ikhavnen and a portion of the foree Occupied a position at that place.” The Column began its advance at 10 p. m. of the night of July 1(5, and at 11 p. ru, the first Japanese outpost was dislodged. JAPS lIEOIN TO GET REST

WhrrtnpM the Russians Coiielnd* to Withdraw to Their OM* Positions. Kuropatkin says that Kashtalinsky occupied Sloakao pass and the heights surmounted by the temple during the night, the Japs making no fight for them, but evacuating. But at 5:39 a. m. July T 7 Kashtalinsky found the Japs in considerable strength on Hafankwan pass and the- bluffs to the south and also on his own flank. Kasbtalinsky tried to take this Jap position but failed. Kellea then ordered up reinforcements to Kashtalinsky’s aid and to retain the- positions captured by Kashtalinsky, but found, that the positions were untenable. He-also found the enemy so strong that he decided not to continue-the light Keller decided about 10:30 a. a*, to withdraw his troops to the positions origlnaQy occupied in the Yanze- pass. The troops retired slowly, step by step, and in perfect order, covered by the tire of a field battery which had. been brought into action. At midday the Japs got a mountain battery into posltLoncbut the Russian battery silenced it. Kuropatkin concludes as follows: “Tfce fight ceased at 3 p. and the troops returned Us Ikhavuam Tike Japanese advance was stopped above the valley of the lantakhe river at a position occupied and maintained by us. “In consequence of a sleepless night and the heat of the day our troops were greatly fatigued, having been over fifteen hours on foot and fighting. Our looses have not yet been exactly ascertained, but General Keller reports that they exceed 1,000. The gallant Twenty-fourth regiment suffered most. General Keller especially mentions the activity, courage and coolness shown by Its commanding officers. Colonel Koschitz was severely wounded in the leg, but remained In the ranks until the end of the action.”

GREAT BRITAIN MAKES PROTEST Objects to Balsnra by Rawls or the Steamer Malacca. St Petersburg, July 31.—Sir Charles Hard Inge, the British ambassador to Russia, 1b behalf of his government, baa just presented a strong protest to Russia against the seisnre In the Red sea and detention of the Peninsular and Oriental steamer Malacca, which was carrying 800 tons of British government stores for the naval establishment at Hong Kong, each case of which waa marked with the broad arrow, which la the government stamp.

Tbs ambassador also presented a general protest against the action of the Russian volunteer fleet steamers in the Red sea.

Russia seems prepared for any representations Great Britain may make on the stopping of ships in the Red s&a. It Is understood that before sending cruisers the Russian authorities became convinced through an elaborate system of espionage that an immense amount of contraband was going from England through the Red sea to Japan and they decided to stop the traffic. It is understood that if this traffic is diverted to the cape route the Russian admiralty Is prepared to send ships to the Cape of Good Hope. If Great Britain objects to the passage of the Dardanelles by more vessels of the volunteer fleet, the ships intended for cruising off the cape may be sent from the Baltic. In this connection Important developments are believed to be imminent.

RUSS SQUADRON GETS BUSY Begins Its ,Jol> of Making Trouble for the Japanese Merchant Marine. Washington, July 21.—The Japanese legation has received the following cablegram from the foreign office at Toklo: "At 9:30 a. m. July 20th the Vladivostok squadron fired on and sank a Japanese steamboat of 318 tons off the coast of Isoya, about twen-ty-fire miles from Hakodate. All of the crew were landed safely at Cape Yesan.”

A Tokio dispatch says a Japanese torpedo flotilla Is pursuing the Russians, and that several small vessels have been captured by the raiders. Tokio, July 21.—News from the seat of war has become scarce again. About the only thing interesting is Kuroki’s report of casualties at Motien pass. He says the Japs lost four officers and thirty-nine men killed, and fifteen officers and 241 men wonnded.

Kurski’s Report of the Fight.

Fusan, July 20.—The following is from General Kourki’s headquarters the field: “More Russian troops were engaged in yesterday’s battle at Motien pass than in previous engagements. There were probably double the number of those which took part in the fight at the Yalu river, while opposed to them were only one brigade and one batallion of the Japanese forces. The Russian loss is estimated at 2,000. The burial of tbe dead continues. The Japanese casualties aggregated 300. The engagement has conspicuously demonstrated the wonderful efficiency of the Japanese infantry. They proved incomparably the better marksmen, more initiative and they out-fought and out-geueraled the Russians on every point.”

Russia’s Preliminary Reply.

London, July 21.—The Associated Press learns that Count Benekendorff* the Rassian ambassador, at a conference with Foreign Secretary Lansdowne, made what may be considered to be a preliminary reply to the British protest against the seizure of the steamer Malacca. He assured the foreign secretary that his government had no intention of infringing.on the rights of Great Britain or any other neutral power, and that if a mistake had been made in tbe seizure of the Malacca unquestionably the steamer will immediately be restored and damages would be paid.
