NOTES

(By Charles Starr.) The new term opened with, a total enrollment of 2C0. This is above the usual nutnber for the school. On Monday the new program was explained, irregular programs adjusted and lessons assigned. Tuesday regular wrok began and as each pupil had a printed program fot his guidance there was little confusion. An effort is being made this year to keep the school as closely as possible in touch with the home life of the pupils. At intervals special evening meetings will be held to which parents are invited. On Friday evening o this week the pupils just entering the school will come with their parents to visit the teachers and the school building. By this beginning of bringing teachers and patrons into closer touch at the beginning of the term's work it will be possible to make a better headway in the work for the remainder of the year. The games in the gymnasium will begin in a few days. It "is probable that there will be more boys take part than last term and it may be necessary to add Monday evening to the times for playing. Miss Katherine Dopp, avIio is the author of the book ailed "The Places of Industries in Elementary Education" and is also professor in the department of education of Chicago University makes the following inquiry of Prof. Hiser of the manual training laboratory at Garfield: "Do you take any photographs of the children, at work? In the new ediction which I shall soon prepare of "The Place of Industries" I shall add a new chapter and use illustrations of children at different kinds of work. If you have photographs which you will be willing to have used I shall be glad to know of it."

PUT OUT OF H

irk., . t , Japan Has .Already Disabled Five Russian War Sbips. A NOTABLE VICTORY First Engagement of the War Occurred at Port Arthur. Under Cover of Darkness the Vigilant Japs Catch Their Less Alert Enemy Napping. Torpedo Attack Puts Two Battleships and a First-Class Cruiser Out of Commission. This Was Folio wee, by an Equally Decisive Engagement in Chemulpo Harbor. As the Russians have no dockyard facilities in the far East to repair the damages inflicted on their ships, the three vessels struck by torpedoes are useless for service in the pres- O ent war. Tokio, Feb. 10. It is reported here that the Japanese fleet engaged and defeated two Russian warships, whose names have not yet been learned, at Chemulpo Tuesday. It is said the engagement began at 11 a. m., and continued until 3 p. m. The smaller Russian vessel is reported to have been sunk, and the larger one fired and hopelessly' disabled. A part of the crew are reported to have escaped to the shore and to have been captured. The Japanese ships are reported to be slightly damaged. Tien Tsin, Feb. 10. It is reported here that the Russian cruisers Variag and Korietz hauled down their flags without firing a shot and that 8,000 Japanese immediately landed at Chemulpo and the march to Seoul commenced. It is reported from Pekin that the Japanese had disembarked at Chemulpo notwithstanding the presence there of two Russian warships, and another dispatch from Chee Foo said Japan had the Variag and the Korietz caught at Chemulpo. Japanese troops also landed at all the chief ports of Korea. A CRUSHING BLOW Russians Caught Napping at Port Arthur. Chee Foo, Feb. 10.- -The Japanese have dealt the Russians a crushing blow at Port Athur. An advance squadron of the Japanese fleet, under command of Vice Admiral Togo, and comprising sixteen battleships and cruisers, with a numerous torpedo flotilla, left the main fleet of Shan Tung peninsula on Sunday, immediately the news of the diplomatic rupture became known. This information was conveyed to the Japanese admiral by a destroyer dispatched from Tsuishima Saturday evening. The Japanese scouting cruisers had given accurate information of the procarious situation of the Russian fleet outside Port Arthur. The squadron steamed slowly in battle formation toward its goal, and came within sight of Port Arthur under cover of darkness. It cruised slowly outside without showing lights. ' The Russians were lying in the roadstead, apparently feeling secure from attack. Nearly all the Jap torpedo boats were dispatched on their dangerous and daring task. They rushed full steam on the enemy, who were completely surprised. A great rattle of small arms greeted, the invaders, who, however, escaped unhurt, and the Retvizan, the Czarevitcii and the Pallade were almost immediately torpedoed. The Japanese dashed along the entire line of th Russians, exposed by now to a terrible fire from machine guns and small arms from both the ships and the shore. There was the utmost consternation among the Russians, which probably accounts for the Japanese torpedo boats escaping practically unscathed and rejoining the admiral outside. The admiral's fleet during the attack kept out of range of the Russian searchlights. Line of battle was then formed and the Japanese fleet moved in within a range of two and one-half miles and opened fire on the Russians. The booming of guns was heard far out to sea by the officers and crew of, a Japanese ship which has arrived here. The battle is understood to be still raging, and the wildest reports are current. The Chinese population of Chee Foo Is in a frenzy of excitement at the reports that the Japanese, whom they now regard as their friends, scored the first victory.

COMMISSION

LINCOLN LEAGUE

Big Preparations Made for the Coming Meeting. Indianapolis, Feb. 10. Arrangements have been completed for the annual convention of the Lincoln League of Indiana at Evansville Friday and Saturday. Owing to the annual banquet in celebration of the Lincoln birthday, at the Columbia Club here the league banquet will be postponed ustil Saturday night Covers will be laid for GOO as a li.,J attendance's expected. J. Frank Ilanly, W. L. Taylor and Judge Penfield, the candidates for governor, will be on hand to make speeches and most of the state officials who are candidates for renomination are going. It is expected that Charles W. McGuire, of this city, will be elected president as Samuel Crumbaker, of Evansville, has withdrawn. There is a prospective boom for President Walker of the Marion Club here but he will not be a candidate unless McGuire withdraws. George Heilman, of Evansville, will probably be re-elected secretary. The business session of the convention will be held Saturday. Some of the Indiana members of congress are having to do the "hot foot" to hold their own in a political way. Congressman Cromer has been in Washington but one day of the session, having been given an indefinite leave of absence. He is now looking after his political fences and will not return to Washington until after the nomination is made. Congressman Fred Landis is having to spend considerable time at home looking after his fences. Congressman Holliday, of the Fifth, also has his troubles, for two candidates have entered the field against him. Conressman Overstreet has not come home yet, but his faithful workers are looking closely after his interests. In the Second, Congressman Miers has no opposition as yet but he is running back and forth between home and Washington to see that nothing goes on that will cause him to lose. Congressman Zenor is now at home making the fight of his life for a renomination with the chances about even for him to win or lose. John E. Lamb, of Terre Haute, former member of congress from the Fifth district, is again coming to the front as a leader of the Democratic party. In the campaign of '96 and 1900 he was not active as he did not like the Bryanistie platforms although he voted for the ticket. He is noted for the forcible way he has of making public statements. This is what he says about the Democratic platform: "There is no more necessity of our declaring for the free and unlimited coinage ot silver than there is to reiterate the plank of 'Gi that war was a failure. I have said several times, and I am willing to repeat it, that the face of the Democratic party is to the future and that those who are looking backward for issues will either have to get out of the way or be run over." In other words Lamb probably means that neither Bryan nor any other man is to be permitted to block the way of the Democrats towards reorganization along old lines. It would not be surprising if Indiana should furnish three candidates for vice-president. It seems to be the general opinion now that Senator Fairbanks will be the Republican nominee for second place. There is talk of B. F. Shively of South Bend for second place on the Democratic ticket. The leaders of the party like the looks of the Indiana man and if he would consent he would stand a fine show. Then Felix T. McWhirter, of this city, is an active candidate for the Prohibition nomination for vice-president and as the national convention will be held here and as this is one of the banner Prohibition states he will stand good in way of winning. A rumor that Warren G. Sayre, of Wabash, who was known as the watch dog of the treasury during the last session of the legislature, is to become a candidate for the Republican nomination for governor now that Hoi Shideler, of Marion, is not going to run, has been received with much interest. Sayre has long aspired to be governor and as he is a very prominent man there is no doubt that his entrance into the race at this time would cut some figure, especially as the Eleventh district is now without a candidate. They Want Further Advice. Anderson, Ind., Feb. 10. The Madison County Farmers' Institute declined to vote on the legislative bill pioposed by State Geologist Blatchley recommending that convicts be employed in the manufacture of brick for the improvement of public highways. In the discussion It was said that such employment of convicts would be better than contract prison labor, but the Madison county farmers thought that they should know more about the bill before going on record. Kentuckians Bent on Lynching. Middlesboro, Ky., Feb. 10. John White, a negro, who killed Officer Burns, has been captured and lodge 1 in Jail here. The streets are full of excited men bent on lynching, but Mayor Turner and Sheriff Howard with a large posse are guarding the jail and the men seem to need a leader so that no violence is expected. Big Icehouses Burn. Meamora, Ind., Feb. 10. The large ice plant, owned by the Cincinnati Ice company, has been destroyed by fire, causing a loss of $25,000, with small Insurance on buildings. The origin of the fire is unknown.

We heard of Cooper's New Discovery, and decided to try it. as it seemed to be doing a great deal of good in Akron. She began to improve after the first day's treatment.
