A Scientist says bad roads cause
insanity. No wonder the insane
asylums of the country are full and
running over One Of these days a
plank will be inserted in political
platforms in favor of ''road reform"
and the politician who dosn't stand
upon it will get left. The country
depends for it's wealth tpon the farm
ers, and yet allows them mired upon
impossible roads fully one-third of
of the year. 1t spends $18, 900, 600
this year to make good rivers for com
merce, but not dime for good roads.

FIGHT AT MANAssAs.-Some time
between the hours of ten and eleven
o'clock on Monday night Mr.. Geo. 5.
Whedbee walked into the sitting room
of the Cannon House, at Manassas,
and going up to Mr.. Eppa Goodwin,
who, with about dozen others was Sit
ting about, dealt him terrific blow in
the face with spawl which weighed
about a half pound. Every man in the
room then sprang to his feet and
amid the commotion and excitement
that followed Mr.. Whedbee was hus-
tied off home and Goodwin was taken
outside. The latter soon returned to
the room, however, and in shorter
time than it takes to tell it he and a
young man by the name of Dimsey,
who, it seems, was there in the capac-
ity of friend to Whedbee, were rolling
on the floor pummelling each other in
the most approved rough and tumble
fashion. As quickly as possible some
of the bystanders seized Goodwin and
pushed him out of the door. Only a
few seconds elapsed before he re-
turned and he, Dimsey, went to
fighting again. Goodwin was again put
out and again returned. Finally both
of the belligerants locked in each others
embrace were gotten out onto the plat
form and it wasn't long before Goodwin
put Dimsey to sleep. Dimsey came to
shortly afterward and it was found
that neither he nor Goodwin were much
hurt.
All during the evening up until the
time that Whedbee struck Goodwin
both the men were apparently on the
best of terms.
The incident described above was
the sequel of a most disgraceful and UNI
fortunate affair. There is involved in
the affair young married woman, who
is daughter of the Mr.. Whedbee re-
ferred to above. On Monday morning
this young woman left her husbands
home and went to the home of her faith
er, her father says, for the reason that
she had been unduly intimate with
Goodwin. The husband, who is tele-
graph operator, and young man Of

thought of, will sue for a DIVORCE

The Fall of Port Arthur.

LONDON, Nov. 24-The foreign office
has received dispatch from the British
minister at Toxic confirming the report
of the capture of Port Arthur. No de-
tails of the fight have yet been receiv-
ed, but all accounts agree that the
Japanese torpedo boats engaged the at
tention of the forts while the troops
closed around at the rear. Then the
torpedo boats made sudden and con-
certed dash and succeeded in getting
inside the harbor. The japanese
artillery in the rear kept up a con-
tinuous fire upon the Chinese forts and
the infantry made succession of at
tacks upon the outer defenses which
they captured. After the first onslaught
by the japanese the resistance of the
Chinese is said to have been feeble, and
finally they became panic-stricken and
fed.
A Shanghai dispatch says that China
has sent special agent to Japan win
instructions to accept any terms of
peace except the cession of any portion
of China proper to Japan.
A dispatch says that large part of
the victorious army will re-embark from
Port Arthur. Four japanese ships
were near Shan Ha Kuan on November
20.
a correspondent at Shanghai says
that part of the japanese fleet will re-
main at Port Arthur and the rest of the
ships will cruise in the Gulf of Pechili.
1t is said that several foreign and
English banks have offered to contract
for Chinese war indemnity gold loan
at four per cent.
a dispatch says that the third Japan
csc corps which sailed from Ujiwa is
destined for Weihaiwe, which place is
in state of utter collapse and con-
fusion. The landward defenders of the
place are DESERVING by thousands.
