RUSSIA'S DELAY

Creates a New Supply of Sensational War Statef ments. JAPAN IS UNYIELDING Likelihood of a Compromise of the Delicate Situation Thought to Be Growing Daily Less. An Army of 113,000 Jupanose Is Iieported to Hare Jjandeti Southern Korea. 1U London. Jan. 23. The delay in the Hussian reply to the latest note from Japan is causing the customary crop of sensational statements pointing to the imminence of war in the far East. The Daily Graphic today says it understands that there is no likelihood of a compromise owing to the unyield ing attitude of Japan on the Manchurian question and the fact that in her last note to Russia Japan struck out the whole article in the draft of the treaty relating to the demand of Rus Bia for a neutral zone. A correspondent at Che Foo has sent In an alarming report that 12,000 Jap anese troops have landed at Ma-Sam-pho in southern Korea, and a Port Arthur correspondent also refers in a dispatch to the fact that the news of the occupation of Ma-Sam-Pho is being received daily. These reports are not confirmed from any other source, and they are discredited by Baron Hayashi, the Japanese minister to Great Britain. Special dispatches from Seoul say the emperor of Korea has appointed a new cabinet, and that the minister of war has ordered 10,000 rifles for the army. Reports have been sent in from Che Foo that quantities of dynamite have been found under the bridges of the Manchurian line above Port Arthur. The supposed intention was to blow up the bridges as soon as hostilities began. TURBULENT KOREA Serious Trouble Is Likely to Break Out There at Any Time. "Washington, Jan. 2 . The situation in Korea is arcjsing fresh apprehension of renewed trouble in the far East. It has been the opinion of the military experts here that in the event of war between Russia and Japan, Korea would be made the battle ground at least in the beginning. Mr. Allen, the American minister at Seoul, has cabled the state department from Seoul as follows: "Considerable disturbances throughout Korea. The Japanese have been attacked in many places' It is learned that in view of the possibility of Korea's being unable to afford proper protection to Japanese subjects, the Tokio authorities have dispatched a Japanese military officer of highest rank, namely major general, to Seoul, where he will be in a position to direct any military operations that Japanese troops may undertake. The Korean government has 3,500 men under arms but they have not been trained in a modern school of war and Tather resemble constabulary than soldiers. It Is anticipated here that Japan In Korea will repeat the performance of Russia in Manchuria and make the disturbances on the Japanese railway the ground for a military occupation of the line in great force, BUCHANAN COMING HOME Minister to Panama Has Had Enough of the Isthmus. Washington, Jan. 23. Confirmation Is had at the state department of the report that Mr. Buchanan, American mlnUter to Panama, is about to return to the United States. Important private business Is assigned as a reason for the minister's return. The department Is not informed that his visit is anything more than a mere leave of Eruptio. w Dry, moist, scaly tttter, all forma of eezema or salt rheum, pimples and other cutaneous eruptions proceed from huanors, either inherited, or acquired through defective digestion and assimilation. To treat theee eruptions with drying medicines is dangerous. The thing to do is to take Hood's Sarsaparilla and Pills Which thoroughly cleanse the blood, expelling all humors and building up the whole 6ystem. They cure Hood's Sarsaparilla permanently cured J. O. Hines, Franks, 111., of eczenaa, from which he had suffered for some time; and Miss AJvlna Wolter, Box 212, Algona. Wis., of pinr pies on her face and back and chafed skin on her body, by which alia had been greatly troubled. There are mre testimonials in favor of Hood's than can be published. Hood's Sarsapariffta prarjolses to Cure and keeps the promise.

absence "but It knbws that Buchanan consented to assume the Panama mission only on an understading that his appointment must be temporary and aa affairs on the isthmus are regarded as being in excellent shape from an administrative standpoint it is possible he will consider that he has carried out his full undertaking when he r turns to Wasnington. WOMAN CRUELLY MURDERED

Bedford Is Aroused By a Fiendish Crime. Bedford, Ind., Jan. 23. Miss Sarah Schafer of Elkhart, Latin teacher In the local high school, was outraged and murdered here in the most fiendish manner imaginable. She was the most popular teacher in the school and was a social favorite. Feeling is very high and if anyone is caught who cannot readily clear himself of the crime there will be a lynching. It is the suposition that the young woman was waylaid by someone familiar with her way to and from the school building, and that she was assaulted. There is every evidence that she made a terrible struggle but that she was evidently beaten down as she passed a private alley opening into one of the prominent streets, and that she was then dragged about fifty feet to a shed, where she was killed. Rain was falling steadily at the time the assault must have been committed and but few people were on the street. No one in the neighborhood t i , - neara a scream or any sounds or a struggle. Her assailant evidently stifled her cries when he first attacked her. Her death wound came from a blow over the forehead and left temple, inflicted with a blunt instrument. It is thought that a brick picked up in the alley along which she was dragged was the weapon used. The city council has offered a reward of $500 and the county a like amount, making a total of $1,000, for the arrest and conviction of the principal or principals guilty of the assault and murder. PATHFINDERS STARVED Woeful Er.d of the Hubbard Labradorean Expedition. Quebec, Jan. 23. Word has been received from Chateau bay, Labrador, that a courier had arrived from Northwest river with the information that Leonidas Hubbard, jr., of New York had died of starvation in the wilds of Labrador on Oct. IS. The remains are on their way to Quebec, so the report says, by dog train, which is expected to reach Chateau bay some time in March. Mr. Hubbard, who was assistant editor of Outing, was sent out by that magazine to explore the interior of Labrador. In his party were Dillon Wallace, a New York lawyer and two Cree Indians. The explorers left RigoIette about the beginning of July, 1903. Their object was to penetrate to the settlement of the Nascauppes Indians, where so far as known no white man has ever been. On August 26 reports came from Labrador that the Hubabrd party was progressing satisfactorily, since which time nothing had been heard from them. Schwab Will Be High Man. New York, Jan. 23. An agreement on terms for the reorganization of the United States Shipbuilding company and the abandonment of the Sheldon reorganization plan, it Is said on good authority, has been substantially reached. The plan, as outlined, tentatively provides for the retention of control by Mr. Schwab. A $200,000 Blaze. New York, Jan. 23. Fire destroyed the upper floors and much stock in the factory of E. W. Bliss & Co., causing a I.-" of $200 1)0. One fireman was killed by falling from a ladder. Senate Seeking Information. Washington, Jan. 23.

Four people are believed to have been drowned in the Wabash river at Meron. The family, which consisted of a man, his wife and their two young children, occu-' pied a houseboat which was tied up at the lower end of the Lindsay island, just north of Meron. The drifting masses of ice which came from the ice gorge which broke at Terre Haute, passed Meron, after which the boat was gone and telephone inquiries down the river have resulted in no information from the missing boat. The fam ily is believed to have been sleeping when the ice struck the boat and sank it. The supposition is that the family had no chance to escape. Secret Indictments Returned. Indianapolis, Jan. 23. The federal grand jury made an unexpected report to Judge Anderson in the Elkhart bank cases which the members were called together m special session to consider. The jury was then discharged. The report was secret, and until the parties against whom indictments were returned have been arrested no word as to the number "of the indictments or the people against whom they were returned, will be made public. It is the understanding that indictments were returned against J. L.. Broderick and V. L. Collins, president and cashier of the defunct bank. Other indictments are hinted at, but it is not known how many more of the men connected with the bank, or of the borrowers who are charged with having been responsible for the failure, may have been included in the report. Caught in Line Shaft. Alexandria, Ind., Jan. 23. Orln E. Davis, engineer at the Penn-American plate-glass works, was caught in the shafting and whirled about until all his clothing was stripped off, after which he was thrown to the floor.

FIERCE PARTY FIGHT

Marlon County Democrats Divided At Never Before. Ind!?mLn"!?3, Jan. 23. If there was any tho jght in the minds of some Republicans here that they might have some difficulty in carrying Marion county this time because of the fact that the Democrats were preparing for a vigorous fight It has been dispelled by the struggle in which tha leaders of that party are becoming involved over the control of the party organization. The fact of the matter is that Democrats here bid fair, inside of a few months, to be divided between administration men and the antis, and the row that promises to be inaugurated will split the party worse than the dissensions of 189G. The old Taggart ring is preparing to reorgan ize the county committee to suit itself. Flushed with the victory of a few weeks ago, when Joseph Fanning was elected district chairman over the opposition of the administration crowd, the Taggart people are determined to organize the county commLttee and to dictate the county ticket as usual. The administration men will fight this program to a finish and the indications are that by the time the fight is over the party will be split into two distinct factions, either of which would rather throw its strength to the Republicans than to see a ticket composed of its j party enemies succeed at the polls The Taggart men have the advantage in the fight in that they control th machinery and can use it for their own purposes. They are preparing to do this. The administration men are going to work even at this early date, however, to 'line up their forces, and they will have sufficient strength to make the other side play fair. The only outcome of the trouble, however, will be to split the party wide open and there will be a party fight here that will surpass anything of the kind that has ever been seen in this locality. "Boil your water." This is the song the health inspectors and all the employes of the health department of the city are singing wherever they go. The reason for this is that City Sanitarian Spencer has declared the water is full of impurities and that there is danger of an epidemic of typhoid unless his instructions are carried out. The recent rains and the high water are responsible for the change in the condition of the drinking water. While the water company claims that none of its supply comes from the river and that it relies entirely on driven wells for its water, it is a curious fact that whenever the river is in bad condition the drinking water becomes polluted. The health officers have never been able to disprove the statements of the water officials that they draw all their water from wells, but whenever there is the slightest pollution in the stream the drinking water is analyzed, always with the same result of posting the notice to boil the water. While the other parties are having trouble here over the reorganization of their county committees, the Prohibitionists are going steadily ahead with the preparations for their national convention, which will be held here Jan. 29 and 30. Chairman Newlin of the state committee and other local workers have taken up with the hotels the question of accommodations for the delegates and visitors, and they have been promised good rates. The hotels ordinarily do not welcome conventions of Prohibitionists for the reason that the places where they make their money, in the bar-rooms, is not a source of revenue when the cold water delegates strike the town. The committee in charge has found that the Indianapolis hotel men are being more liberal, however. They have promised good rates to the visitors and in addition to this the hotel managers have made liberal contributions to help pay the expenses of the gathering. As a means of advertising the city and their hotels, the managers say the Prohibition convention will be better than any other, although they will make little money out of the meeting. TO RAISE ASSESSMENT United Miners Will Increase Their Defense Fund. Indianapolis, Jan. 23. Members of the executive committee say that before leaving Indianapolis the United Mine Workers' executive committee will levy on the entire membership an Increased per capita strike assessment for the support aod prosecution of the strikes in Colorado, West Virginia and in the Meyerr,dale district in Pennsylvania. There is at present a per capita strike assessment of 10 cents a month. This, according to the executive committeemen, will probably be Increased to 25 cents a month per capita. On the present paying membership tis assessment would raise $75,000 a month or $900,000 a year, and would furnish ample funds not only to support the 14,000 strikers, but also to enable the organization to assume an aggressive policy. Expelled From Association. St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 23. The Missouri Press association in annual session has expelled former Lieut. Gov. John A. Lee and I. L. Page, editor of the Bonne Terre (Mo.) Star, because of their alleged connection with boodle scandals in Jefferson City. Cutting Down Appropriations. Washington, Jan. 23. The house committee on,rv?rs and harbors has decided that there should be no river and harbor appropriation bill at the present session of congress although a few surveys may be authorized.

JOHN R. HAWEKOTTE,

IT'S NEVER QUITE SATISFACTORY to borrow from a friend. He may say he is glad to accommodate you, when he is not. He may be greatly inconvenienced and not admit it. You never know just how he feels about it. A little misunderstanding may cost you his friendship. Business is business. When you need money the best way is to borrow a certain amount for a fixed time at a fixed rate of interest, and to be paid back in a fixed time. Then there can be no misunderstanding; then you are free from the unpleasant feeling that you have imposed on your friend's liberality. We loan sums of ten dollars and upwards on the afore-mentioncd basis. We loan to salaried people without security. We loan on small articles left in pledge. We loan on many kinds of personal property without removal. Here are some of the terms of our new weekly payment plan, allowing you fifty weeks in which to pay off your loan : 60 cents Is the weekly payment on a $25 lean $1 .20 Is the weekly payment on a $50 loan S 1 .80 is a weekly payment on a $75 loan 2.40 is the weekly payment on a $100 loan Other amounts in the same proportion. If these payments do not suit you, call and see us, and we will be pleased to explain other plans we have. Mail or 'phone applications receive our prompt attention. RICHMOND LOAN Co.
