CITY ITEMS.
TO SUBSCRIBERS AND FRIENDS.

From and after Monday, July IL, 1904,
we shall charge for The DAILY OHIO
STATESMAN, and for The TRI-WEEKLY
STATESMAN, the prices below specified. We
have not before made any material advance
in our subscription rates. Within two
years, the cost Of publishing daily news
paper in Columbus has increased nearly
one hundred per cent. The price of white
paper has advanced to twenty cents per
pound, and is still going up-being more
than double what 1t used to sell for; the
price of type-setting is more than fifty per
cent. higher than it was; press-work is one
hundred per cent. higher; rents and fuel
have doubled, and every other item which
enters into the cost of publication has ad-
vanced in like proportion. To meet these
increased expenses, we raised the price Of
advertising as much as practicable; /; but the
late sudden advance In the cost of white pa
per leaves no alternative but an advance OF
subscription rates.
1t will be seen that the new scale of prices
ia an increase of but twenty-five per cent
on the old rates, while the cost of publica-
zion and Of living has increased nearly four
times that amount. We purpose to return
to the old standard of rates, whenever the
price of sprint" and labor shall fall enough
to render it possible. We believe that no
fair-minded reader will object to the new
rates, nor consider them more than right
and necessary under the circumstances

Gen. johnson throughout the day exhibited
that cool fidelity to his work, and that care
full discharge of all the duties incumbent up
on General of division, which mark him as
one of the safest and trustiest leaders of the
Union army. .ss -4..1 f..--
Several points are worthy of notice in this
battle, which shall only briefly mention.
| The rebels were aware of the existence of
the great gap in our lines, ard had they
struck it, the consequences might have been
very disastrous. As it was, they were utter
| ly surprised at meeting Hooker where they
did.
At least one-half the rebel army was en-
gagged, prisoners being taken from all three
of the corps.
The fight was most dismal Inauguration
of Hoods new command.
Our losses in this fearful conflict, including
every part of the line, will amount to about
$500 men, of whom nearly 1900 fel in the
| fierce struggle of the centre.
| cannot, with the authorities now before
me, place the rebel loss in killed, wounded
and prisoners, at less than $500 men.
