IMMIGRANTS IN THE CITY. Ten Passed Through Pine BIuT Today and a Train Load More to
 Follow.

This mornings Valley train
 broughtin ten nable-bodied, intelligent and industrious men from Nebraska
 who are on their way to Stuttgart with q view of locating there A GRAPHIC reporter interviewed one of the party, a Mr. l., J. Adams. of Omaha, before they made their de parture on the Cotton Belt train.
 Mr. Adams stated that much dissat- isiaction was felt throughout that whole country this year on account of poor crops, etc, and that he eX- pected one-half the farmers would leave and go South. 4 prolonged drouth, he said, had killed their crops, severe winters had caused many hardships, storms and forest fires threatened them continually, and that the people were fully de tefmined to leave that country.
 When asked why they decided to first visit Stuttgart he said that a former resident in their community had moved 10 Stuttgart aud gone into the real estate business and that he had published number of articles In their home papers setting forth the advantages and induce ments offered by that vicinity. As a result these men are on their way thero, and nm excursion train will bring hundreds more on October 8. If that place proves sa atisfactory each person will bu.s OF rent q farm of 1G0 acres and will raise all cereals, fruits, etc, and no cotton at all
 The GRAPHIC representative also conducted them to our County Ex- hibit and supplied them with what advertising matter was iH the build ing. They were highly pleased with the display, and WPre astonished al some of our immense vegetables and fruits. saving that they surpassed those of Nebraska
 Am effort should by all means be made by our citizens t0 get such peo- pie as this in Jefferson county, and the sooner tIeH get here the better itis for the country The day has passed when Pine Bluff can be SIS tained hY cotton ana negroes, and ft will never amount To any shing as q commercial center as long as it de peHds upon them. \ little effort and expense at this time can de untold aud lasting good, and il the oppor- tHnity is lost it will likely never be presented again. Ect our Conner cial League, faimers' associations and immigration bureaus lay the re- sources of Jefferson county before this dissatisGcd and deserving pee pie, and beinrc many wears l new era will dawn upon our D. )ple.

Tho News Situation.

An impression has been conveyed by tho English newspapera in Eastern Asia that an abundance and trustworthy sup. ply of news can be obtained in China. An examination of the telegrams sent from Chinese ports to Europe and Amer, ica does not sustain this belief For the various accounts of tho events since the fight at Asan, there is scarcely any foun. dation. The Japanese, if silent, do not attempt to mislead on vital points One error, and one only, is laid to their charge. They are accused of circulat. ing doubtful reports to the effect that Admiral Freemantle exculpated Japan from all technical blame in the matter of the sinking of the Row Shung. The Japanese aver that they had and still have reason to believe that the state ment is true. Ii the imperial govern ment desired to create a sensation by means of Admiral Freemantle's name, there is a strong conviction that they could easily do so by calling attention to that officers correspondence with Ad- miral Ito, and pointing the way to an inquiry as to British admiralty's opin- ion on the subject, but the Japanese ministry is an embodiment of official discretion, and popular curiosity will never be satisfied from this end of the line.

 War Expenses.
 The average daily expenditure of the Japanese government in connection with the war is estimated at 300 yen about $150,00o.
 On Aug. 19 voluntary contribution to the army fund from all parts of the country had reached Tokio to the amount of more than 56o. GOO yen. The contributions to tho fund on the same dato amounted to over 200, 900 yen.

More than 100, GOO persons at tended on the frst day and nearly double that on the second. Great null titudes of visitors came to the capital from radius of 30 miles around
 The press of Japan halls with delight the apparently well founded report that official censorship is to be greatly modi- fled if not abolished. This liberal meas ure, if carried through, will be due to the influence of Count Inouye, who has strongly advocated the complete revision of the press laws.
 The expediency of organizing private expeditions by Japan to harrass the coast of China is discussed in the news- papers of Tokio, and 1t is stated that several wealthy noblemen are prepared to supply the funds required for the undertaking.

 The mouth of the Pei Ho river has been closed by barrier which is only opened once each night and morning for the passage of ships. The obstruction consists of heavy logs, 15 feet long, thrown up and down the river, fastened with two heavy chain cables. The bed is thickly strewn with torpedos. A re. port is that the government fears en. trance into Chinese ports of Japanese ships in disguise, and has asked the foreign ministers to consent that all foreign men of war, no matter under what flag, shall be stopped to wait thorough Inspection

Fears For Formosa.


 The Chinese authorities believe that Formoso is to be the scene of serious conflict. Detachments of troops and munitions of war arc constantly sent thither from Foo Chow, and the entire Chinese part of the island is i'll state of uncommon military activity. After many contradictory reports tho story ia declared confirmed that 50 Japanese em- igrants, engaged in collecting camphor in Formosa, were murdered by Chinese at the beginning of the war
 Though lead has been declared contra band of war by China, vessels laden with that munition are permitted to leave Hong Kong for Chinese ports Shipments of rice, which England re- fuses to consider contraband is forbid. den and cannot be carried from Hong Kong to Japan.

Wantsd-Youn0 Men and Women Out
Of Employment.


We have had good year. To meet the
demands Of the school extra teachers were
employed-they are with us now Over
500 young men and women are out Of en-
ployment in Scranton. This spring and
summer we propose to take these young
people in our school on easy terms.
The demand for people is not great in
any line, but count up the people who do
clerical work in all the Offices, store,,
banks and manufactures and see what an
array of book-keepers stenographers and
clerks are employed. These persons are
the business men Of tomorrow.
Hundreds of your friends have been at
the college and hundreds have succeeded.
The faithful ones win; the inattentive fail.
Take these next few months and learn
bookkeeping or stenography; brush up in
grammar, spelling arithmetic; keep your
eye on penmanship, get good knowledge
of notes, drafts, checks; know something
of commercial law, and wind up with the
business practice.
You have the time come in and see us.
