And the Battle Russians Get One, Japs the Other.

(Commercial Tribune.) The baby has come to the Russians but the battle has gone to the Japs. There will be rejoicings in St. Petersburg and handshakings in Tokyo, and pity it is that the little child shall not lead Russian and Japanese to forego further slaughterings and each be content with his own vine and fig tree but he will not be. Neither the stubbornness of the Russian nor the determination of the Japanese will submit to proposals for peace, until the Japanese victory at Port Arthur has been supplemented by the sur

render of Kuropatkin and his entire j

army. Then Russia may see the inevitable and appreciate it. In the meantime the world is welcoming the little stranger, hoping that he may live long and prosper, and that in the fullness of time and his reign he may give to Russia and the Russians a constitutional government, on which the solidity of his throne would not be questioned. The only certainty in the news from the far East is in the birth of a son to the Czar and the giving of a victory to the Japanese. What has become of the Russian fleet assisting in the defense of Port Arthur is the question difficult to disentangle from the mass of contradictory news, official and otherwise. The greater probability is that the fleet is heading again for the harbor of Port Arthur, notwithstand-

I ing it is destruction within the harbor

or capture without. ' That the fleet steamed out from the harbor, following the example of gallant old Cervera, appeared to be certain, but the only harbors of refuge were those of neutral powers, and Germany has cabled the German authorities at Tsingchou to compel the fleeing Russian vessels in the harbor to leave within twenty-four hours. To crawl back to Port Arthur harbor appears to be the plan adopted by the scattered Russian vessels, and, indeed, there appears to be no other harbor open to them and no haven of safety elsewhere. Not even the coming of the little stranger will dim the glory of the victory 'of the sturdy and

the civilizing Japanese.

PRAYING FOR RAIN

Kankakee Valley Farmers Grow Desperate Over Long Drouth.

APPEALING TO HEAVEN

In the Churches Throughout That lies on Sunday the Fanner Met For Special Prayer.

Matters of Interest For Indiana Headers Set Out Brielly In This t Column.

Laporte, Ind., An- 13. Driven almost to desperation by the continued drouth, hundreds of farmers throughout the Kankakee valley assembled in the churches in their neighborhood Sunday and fervently prayed for rain. The drouth has been so protracted that fires are devastating the country, destroying immense quantities of grain and hay and entailing untold financial loss. Farmers fear that the drouth will become as severe as that of five years ago. when hundreds of cattle perished and thousands of acres of land were laid a barren waste.

Corn Drying Up. Lafayette. Ind., Aug. 15. Because of the continued drouth in this vicinity the situation is becoming alarming. Corn is withering and is much in need of rain and the meadows are drying up. Prairie fires during the last week have been numerous.

A Dozen Statues to Cost $5,000 Each Provisions Of Will., Westminster Gazette) There have been many will makers

more eccentric than Mr. MacCraig, the Scotch banker, whose last testament will shortly come under the consideration of the Edinburgh Court of Session. Mr. MacCaig, it may be remembered, left instructions in his will that gigantic statues of himself, rjis brothers and sisters, a round do-:on

in all, should be placed on the summit of a great tower he had commenced to build on Battery Hill, , near Oban each statue to cost not les-s than $5,000. A much more whimsical testator was a Mr. Sanborn, of Boston, -vho left $5,000 to Prof. Agassiz to have his skin converted into drumheads and two of his bones into druuwt'ks, and the balance of his fortune to his friend, Mr. Simpson, on condition that on every 17th of June he shc.iid repair to the foot of Bunker Hill, and. as the sun rose, "beat on the drum the spirit stirring strain of "Yankee Doodle."

A Mr. Stowe left a sum of money to an eminent King's courtel, "Wherewith to purchase a picture of a viper stinging his benef actor,' f as a perpetual warning against the sin of ingratitude. It was a rich English brewer who bequeathed $150,000 to his dauah'er 'on condition that on the birth of her

first child she should forfeit $".0,000 to a specified hospital, $20,000 on the birth of the second child, and so on by arithmetical progression until the $150,000 was exhausted. Sydney Dickenson left $300,000 to his widow, who appears to have given him a bal time during his life, on eo?:dition : that she should ; spend two hours a day at his graveside "in com

pany with her sister, whom I know she hates worse than she does myself."

Henry County Will Take a Hand In

Apprehending Murderers. New qastle, Ind., Aug. 15. The county council, which was called in special session, authorized the county commissioners to make an appropriation of $500 to be used as a reward for the arrest and conviction of the murderers of Mrs. Starbuck and her baby girl, who were killed and thrown into an abandoned well on the night of July 9. In addition to the $500 offered by the county, friends and neighbors of William StarbucK, the husband of the murdered woman, have, it is understood, subscribed another $500. The total amount will shortly be duly posted and another arrest will doubtless follow in a short time. Sheriff Christopher Is satisfied who killed the defenseless mother and child, but he has not sufficient evidence to warrant an arrest. Further than this, there have been no new developments during the past week. The dastardly attempt to chloroform Madison Starbuck and Mrs. Mary Creetor, important witnesses, has received much attention during the last few days, but It, like the murder, is still shrouded In a cloud of mystery.

Tragedy In a Saloon. Columbus, Ind., Aug. 15. In a drunken brawl In the Klondike saloon here Hoosier Burns, a farmer, aged seventy years, father of the Rev'. Albert Burns, pastor of the Christian church at Morristown, was struck on the head with a beer bottle by David Wagner and with a pair of knucks by Nltz Monroe, Wagner's , brother-in-law, and died In half an hour. Wagner is In Jail, but Monroe escaped and the officers started In pursuit of him. After two hours, however, Monroe returned and surrendered to the sheriff. He is now in Jail.

She Bade Guests Good-by. South Bend, Ind., Aug. 15. Mrs. Clara Banta took a dose of carbolic acid that win cause her death. The attending physicians say she had visitors at her home and, excusing herself, went upstairs and took the drug. Returning, she told her friends what she had done and oade all good-by. A note to her husband said: "That while we are living happily, I have troubles of which you know nothing, and I have long contemplated self-destruction." Banta is her third husband and the two former are living.

And "Home Pride" Practical Illustration. (Hamilton Republican News.) Some Democrats hereabouts must

tbwK that the good Republicans of Preble county are great boobies which they are not by any means. These Democrats are trying to tell the Republicans, of Preble county that local pride should. impel them to put aside their principles and opinions and support their, neighbor, Dr. C. C. Conley for congress. s What an insult to the character and,' common sense of the Republicans of Preble county. Does anyone believe that the Republicans of Preble county -are going to vote into the congress, of the republic a free-silver Democrat, simply because he happens to be a neighbor. No man can ask another to sacrifice conviction

for friendship without by the act conveying an insult. In addition it makes some difference whose ox is being gored. Preble county Democrats sang law on home pride when the Hon. Andrew L. Harris of their county was a Republican candidate for congress, against the late Paul J. Sorg of Butler county. Just four of them had a sufficient sense of home pride and neighborly feeling -to support Gen. Harris. The Eaton Register thus records the incident:

Republican voters of Preble'county ; enjoy life!

will not forget the congressional election of 1894, when the "local pride" effected the votes of but four Demo

crats. Do any of our citizens think IX

that Dr. Conley would more ably and conscientiously represent the county or the third district than our honored citizen, Gen. A. L. Harris T
