Ira Hurd was shot in his own home

day night and died the next day
without duplicating any one. His
wife says she fired the fatal shot, be-
lieving him to be burglar. Hurd
told his wife he was going to the in

some, but he would make no state

Scenes On Il Chinese Battle Shin
During the Fight Off the
Yalu River.
HE HAD ALL HE WANTED.
Latest Reports Indicate that the
Japanese Will March Upon
the Chinese Capital.

A dispatch from London, dated
Oct. 2, says: A British naval officer
attached to the Chinese naval sqad-
ron engaged in the fight off the
mouth of the Yalu river has written
a letter to the London Graphic in
which he says: "On board the war
ship Chen Yuen the fighting was
awful. The decks and the space
around the guns were strewen with
human fragments. Three of the five
men working on the four-ton gun
were blown up by shell from the
japanese warship Naniwa. The
fourth gunner was shot while
trying to escape from the turret and
the fifth stuck to his post. This
man fired two rounds at the Naniwa,
one shell entering the engine room
of the Japanese ship and another
crushing her forebridge. The Mani
wa then hauled off. The Chinese
admiral rewarded the surviving
gunner with present of 1000 taels.
A she'll glanced from the steel deck
of the Chen Yuen and went through
her tower, shattering everything
therein. "A lieutenant, in the act of
of speaking through the tube leading
to the engine room, was blown to
atoms and his head was left hanging
to the speaking pipe. Huge frag-
ments of armor were carried on board
by shot, crushing large number
of sailors into a shapeless mass. The
European engineer, grouping about
in an endeavor to repair the steam
pipe was drenched from head to foot
with the blood of his assistant, who
was disembowled by shot from the
enemy's ship" The writer expresses
the opinion that if the European
rulers could have seen the decks of
the Chen Yuen they would have for
sworn war forever.

A dispatch from Choo Foo to the
Pail Mall Gazette this afternoon,
(Oct. b says that japanese cruisers
are sighted daily off that port. 1t is
added that the nature of the opera
tions are unknown. But the move
ments are regarded as tending to
confirm the story of the japanese
landing north of Choo Foo. The
British squadron in the northern
Chinese waters is cruising in the
Gulf Of Pechila. An insurrection is
said to have broken out in Shanghai
Tung. The result of the uprising or
its nature is not known.

round the mines of the Anaconda
company in Butte and in the smell
ters at Anaconda, advising all the
workers to join their respective labor
organizations in the two cities. AT
Anaconda the Knights of labor was
particularly mentioned. Coming as
the move did on the eve of the elec-
tion for selecting the capital, num-
bers of the best labor men in the
state viewed this movement with
suspicion. And now they aie salts
fled that Mr.. DAILY is trying to use
organized labor to give Anaconda
the capital, without caring what
effect it may have in dividing the
men composing it. They do not be-
lieve the Anaconda company is in
any sense the friends of organized
labor, but they do believe that the
labor lamb and the Anaconda COM
pany will only be at peace when
the latter has swallowed the for
mer.
Certain it is that the attempts of
superserviceable labor, or rather,
pretended labor, henchmen of the
Anaconda company to have organ
lied labor 'take sides" on the capi-
tai question, is proof as strong as
that of holy writ that that company
is not the friend of organized labor,
and their acts must cast suspicion
upon their motives leading true la
Dor men to believe that the inter
est they are paid to represent is
labor's deadliest foe.

Japanese Invaders.

1t is officially announced from
Tien Tsin that 5000 japanese troops
have arrived close to Passiet bay,
near the Russian frontier. Previous
to this announcement it was reported
that the Japanese fleet had been
sighted Sept. 20 ten miles from
Pekin. Large bodies of Chinese
troops have been drafted to that dist
rict within the last few days to pre-
vent the Japanese from landing.

Current Comment.

Helena Herald: Out of 92 pap
ers in the state, there are 81 for
Anaconda. Some of the latter
were born with Anaconda leanings,
some acquired Anaconda sentiments
simultaneously with Anaconda dol
lars, while some have had Anacon-
da thrust upon them--crammed
down their throats by the "boss."
With all his subsidizing, Marcus, it
seems, was able to secure the sup
port of about one third of the Mon
tana press. This is poor showing
considering, but it no poorer than
the vote will be next November.
One out of the three of the ballots is
all Anaconda will get.

Leading Chinese representatives at

upon Pekin the capital will be cap
tured as the Chinese soldiers gather

unreliable. 1t is reported that Ii

KANSAS GAZING IN.
Large Areas Of Land Sink to Various
Depths.

Large areas of land in Butler,
Sedgwick and Marion counties, Kan
sas, have suddenly caved in to a
depth of from % to $50 feet during
the past few days.
The state university geologist,
Prof. Haworth, has left here to OBJ
serve the phenomena. The caving
of the land which Prof. Haworth
went to see occurred in a strip of
country of about "a miles. Near
Whitewater in surface sank over an
an area 500 square yards depth of
20 feet on the farm of Thomas Es-
sington. Seven miles away, at Plum
Grove, on Sid jones' farm, the
ground dropped to the immense
depth of $50 feet, dragging in a
thrashing machine and separator.
At Annely, 10 miles from White
water, number of holes varying
from 10 to 40 feet deep have been
made in the same way. 1t is sup
posed by some that there is a large
sheet of water under this section, or
else river bed that has become dry.
This, says Prof. Haworth, is hardly
probable, as water cannot remain in
bodies in limestone formations. The
water percolates through the grount
without stopping until it reaches the
stratum of rock below.

A story is told of a preacher who
used the photograph to aid him in
his PASTORAL duties.
1t happened that the unfortunate
clergyman was overworked, having
charge of two parishes, one in large
city and one in a suburban town
1t occurred to him that by preaching
his discourse in the photograph, on
Saturday, it could be ground out
by an assistant on L. In ~ ),sraaaS

ing him of the otherwise necessary
obligation of delivering two dis.
courses.
The scheme was given a trial and
proved itself satisfactory to all parties
concerned, especially to the pastor,
as he wgs left free to spend the Sun
day afternoon with his family.
One Saturday morning, as the
clergyman was delivering his dis.
course for the following day into the
photograph, he was interrupted in
the middle Of the sentence, "And

I'm out and continued his address
to the instrument.
Everything went along smoothyat
the suburban service the next after
noon, the congregation becoming very
much interested in the discourse on
Moses, until the monograph repeated
the pastors words in a loud voice,
"And what did Moses say to the
children of Israeli"
A short silence only served to make
the congregation the more eager
to catch the biblical answer to this
question, when, to the utter surprise
