Won MoLTKE's BOOK,

Nineteenth Century.

The Foremost German Classic of the
Nineteenth Century.
LONDON. Aug. 23.-.Count Won Noltke's
"History of the War Of 1901" is mar
velous piece Of composition. and bristles
with interesting details. This is wonder
full achievem ent when we consider that it
was done by man So years of age. The
book ia characteristic OF the man in many
ways. Only in two places is tho name of
Won Moltks mentioned-once rs particu-
lar officer detailed by the king to treat for
tho capitalization of the French army at
Sedan. and later ou as the writer of
lettar dated december 6, 1870, inform
ing the governor of Paris of the defeat of
General Daurelle and the occupation OF
Orleans by the Germans. In q few other
instances his personality is alluded to. but
always under the title of Chief of the Gem
sral Staff" The work throughout is writ
ten in that clear. terse style so character
istis of the field marshal, and which is so
closely copied by the school of officers he
educated to carry on tho traditions left be-
hind him. The language is absolutely free
from the intermixture of foreign or Ger
manized words, and it may be confidently
predicted that ~ a German classic it will
take the foremost rank in the prose litera-
ture of the century.
In tho preface Won Moltks says that so
long rs nations continue independent Of
each other there will be disagreements only
to be settled by an appeal to arms; but IN
the interest of humanity il is to be hoped
that wars will become less frequent as they
become more terrible. Generally speaking,
1t il no longer the ambition Of monarchs
which engenders peace; il is the passions OF
the people and dissatisfaction with interior
conditions, the strife of parties and tho in
ttriRues OF their leaders which cause deo-
laration of war

Farwel Entitled to Credit.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23-"To Charles r.
Farwell more than any other man il the
credit for the rain-producing discovery
due" This from Assistant Secretary of
Agriculture Willis, who sat in his office
this morning rubbing his hands in glee
over the success attained by Prof. Dyren-
furth yesterday. Upon his desk lay pile
of letters and kilograms from the country,
asking that experiments be made in those
sections. The department is highly pleased
with the result, and there is no doubt of
the rain having been produced by the ex-
pertinent.
ut is u great discovery" Mr.. Willis
continued, "and the accuracy of the instru-
ments used permit of no doubt that the
rain was the result Of the explosions.
Whether congress will appropriate money
to carry on the work can't say. That it
has gone thus far ia due to Charles b. Far
we'll, of Chicago. He believed in it. and
was willing to back up his belief by supply
ing the necessary funds for carrying out
the idea. and to him more than to any other
man belongs the credit Of the results"

Dispute Between Custer County Officials
and squawmen.
BILLINGS, Aug. 23.-[Special. IA curious
dispute is in progress between Custer
county officials and some of the ranchmen
on the Grow reservation who are married to
Indian wives. 1t having been decided by
the courts that the reservation is part of
Custer county for purposes of taxation,
that county hass crupulously:applied itself
towards collecting the taxes from the stock
men whose herds are ranging on the reser r
walton, while the burden of judicial ex-
penses has been borne by Yellowstone
county, which has derived no revenue from
the territory for judicial purposes. Tom
Kent is very wealthy wool-grower, whose
wife is me mber of the Grow
nation, and he has fine res
idence near Grey Cliff station, about
2 80 miles west of the county seat of Custer,
and situated on the reservation. Mr.. Kent
refuses to pay taxes to Custer, or indeed to
any other county. Some deputies from
Custer went up to attach Kent's sheep and
thus collect the taxes. Kent called to his
aid the Indian police, who recovered his
flock from the Custer officials. It ia rum
ored that Sheriff Jones, of Miles City, is
going to bring a posse sufficiently strong
to enforce the mandates of the law.
and make Kent pay his taxes. The out
come of the struggle is awaited with inter

reservation.

1t Has Ragged Three Days, the Ad-

On Plain Five Miles From Valparaiso
The Battle Will Probably END
the Strife.

NEW York, Aug. 24.-The Herald this
morning prints Valparaiso, Chill, dispatches
to the effect that Balmaceda and the Junta
Do Gobierno are clinched in final desper-
ate struggle for the mastery of the republic
of Valparaiso. II has been raging for
three days. The frat engagement at
Mont Aconcapua was on Friday and re-
suited in a reverse to the governments, but
reinforcsms snts arrived and the battle was
renewed. From the wounded only most
fragmentary information as to the progress
of the fight can be obtained, and it is utter
ly impossible now to form any Judgment as
to which is getting the better. of it.
The final test Of strength is now
being made at Vina. Del Mar, five
miles from Valparaiso. Thursday the
news came tnat an army Of 5000 rebels
had landed at Quinliero Bay. Balmaceda
was taken by surprise, but soon got his
troops to the front to prevent if
possible the rebels crossing Aconcaqua
river. Six insurgsnt war ships anchored in
Cosnon bay, at the mouth of tho river and
the rebels attempted crossing under cover
of the ships guns. The battle lasted near
y all day. Tho most powerful
glass cannot penetrate the smoke of
tho present battle. and only
occasionally can the troops movements be
guessed. There is a constant stream Of
wounded being brought into the city and q
temporary hospital is being fitted up wher-
ever possible. The medical force Of the
city has its hands full and all the women
have: volunteered As nurses.

William Shaw Can Change His skin-How
1& 1t Is D0no.
InMA, o., Aug, 23.-One OF the most
wonderful cases OF skin grating that has
been made in the history of the medical
science is in progress here, up to the pres
ent writing over 800 pieces OF flesh having
been taken from human arms and grated
to the body Of William Shaw. who was
scalaed at the Standard Oil refinery on the
Fourth of July. and for long time wss on
the verge of the grave. Careful treatment
and gentle nursing rescued him but left his
lower limbs which had been scalded entire
~ helpless. The refinery physician has had
him under his care and to him is mostly
due the credit for what has been accom-
plished.
About two weeks ago the first graft was
made. From that time until this evening
there has been 800 gratis of skin from the
arms of his fellow workmen in the refnary
and grated on his legs. These CRAFTS are
about three-eighths of inch in diameter
and are taken from the arms between the
elbow and the shoulder. The lifeless skin
gratis applied. A thin silk is bound around
the parts holding the gratis in their places
and serving to prevent putrefactlon.
Frequently the CRAFTS fail to attach and
have to be replaced by fresh ones. This
explains why 800 of them have already been
used. This is most extraordinary num-
Der, and yet many more are expected to be
used before entire recovery is looked for.
This morning six men, some of them
even unacquainted with the sufferer, came
over from the refinery and had CRAFTS taken
from their arms. Since the grating was
commenced shaw has steadily improved
and will now undoubtedly recover fully.

than 1000 barrels of oil have been con-

fined within a radius of fifty square yards.
The air is almost motionless, except for the
huge whirlwinds created by the intense
heat. The fire burned off the oil saver from

massive volumes of oil which were converted
into seethinR geyser of burning oil.

CHERoKEE, Iowa, Aug. 23.-Saturday was

state campaign. A large mass meeting was
held this afternoon, addressed by Gov.
Boies at great length, on tho position of tho

that 4,095 persons in the state, or an aver
age of more than forty-one in each county,
hold federal licenses for the sale of liquor,
besides there are open saloons in many
places. Ia addition, many mayors report
sales by "boot-leggers" and Joints, where
no open saloons exist, to an extent equal
or greater than before the passage OF
tho present law. These reports were re-
oeived from little q more than half the
counties in the state. Tho governor said

CHICAGO, Aug. 23.-Vice- president De

serious defect in the exposition building

accepted plans for the manufactures build

the plans were shown the commission it was
explained that two open courts inside the
building were to be reserved for exposition
purposes. What has become of that space
now? In confederation of bribe Of
100000 the directory has planned to
place leather building in one of those
courts. The music and drama building
goes in the other. Those buildings have no

and doors of the house and cut holes in the
roof, and it is claimed by the Cinnamon
