Pharsalia line of defense they will be still
farther from their base of supplies and in
q country whose every inhabtant is a
deadly enemy.
But what is more likely to happen now
than anything else is the Intervention of
the great powers. No doubt these powers
have more respect for the Greeks than
they had a week ago and it has not been
part Of their plan from the beginning to
allow either Turkey or Greece to win a
decisive victory 1t is difficult from the
tangle of conflicting kilograms to under
stand the exact position of affairs. Fol
lowing the Greek defeat at Larissa, Lon
don opinion is almost unanimous that the
end is in sight, and this view is probably
shared by the powers, as they are already
moving to intervene.
1t is believed that Intervention will first
take the form of a suggestion of armis-
tice, to which the combatants would no
doubt agree 1t is stated that the British
foreign office has sent an identical letter
to each of the powers asking for their CO.
operation, and that Germany, France and
Italy have already returned favorable an
swers. AS condition, however Ger
many insists that Greece must promise
obedience in the future to any mandate
from the powers.
News from the front is Of a character
unfavorable to the Greeks, and as a result
a gloomy feeling is prevalent at Athens.
The reverses of the last few days, say dis
patches from the Hellenic capital, have
caused growing feeling favorable to the
cessation of hostilities.
+ When the news of the fall of Larissa
and the retreat of the Greeks was received
in Athens a council of the ministry was
hastily called, and as a result it is assert
ed demand was made upon King George
to make an immediate change in the COM
mand of the troops The order to retreat,
issued by Prince Constantine, is held to
have been ineXcusable, and his purely de-
fensive tactics are blamed for the loss Of
Damasi. There is a revulsion in popu-
lar feeling toward the royal family, and
sensational news may soon come from
Athens.
Late London advices say that reluctant
admissions are now made at Athens re-
garding the evacuation of I4arissa and
Tyrnavos. The retreat, it is said, resem-
bled rout in some particulars, it being
so hasty that number of guns are said to
have been abandoned. During the retreat
Edhem Pasha is reported to have ordered
repeated charges by the Turks. resulting
in several instances in breaking through
the Hellenic lines.
From Constantinople comes the news of
concession to Bulgaria, which may quiet
the malcontents there. The Sultan is re-
ported to have promised that country
three more berats when the war is over.
Edhem Pasha has been partly consoled
for being superseded by Osman. The Sui
tan has softened the blow by comforting
upon him high decorations. The COM
manders Of the six divisions of the Turk
ish army now at the front have received
similar honors.

TURKS ARE DISMAYED
CONTINUED SUCCESS OF THE
GREEK TROOPS REPORTED.
Turkish Battery at Ligeria Destroyed
and Turks Driven from Nezeros and
Rapsari-Greek Fleet Destroys Vast
Quantities of Ottoman Stores.
Edhem Fas,a Recalled.

Grown Prince Constantine has stirred
Athens to high pitch of enthusiasm over
his reports to King George of Greek sue
cesses everywhere in Thessaly. The Hell
lenic troops, under the crown prince, have
destroyed the Turkish battery at Ligeria.
The Moslems have retired from Nezeros
and Rapsari and are appalled, by the de-
struction of all their stores at Katerina
and Lithochorion. From Salenica comes
the news that after a fierce battle the
Greeks occupied Karya, a small fortified
town near Milouna Pass. Osman Pasha
has succeeded Edhem Pasha as command
er-in-chief of the Turkish armies. Ed
hem Pasha has been recalled by the sui
tan and the hero of Plevna will try to
rally the Moslem troops, who, it is con-
coded, even at Constantinople, have been
outfought at all points by the Hellenes.
At Constantinople the situation is re-
garded as serious, and the recall of Ed
hem Pasha is taken to be rebuke to that
general for the manner in which Crown
Prince Constantine has apparently out
generated him in all moves made on the
Thessalian border since the first skirmish
at Milouna Pass. Ahmed Hifzi Pasha

WEEK OF CRUEL WAR.
END OF THE TROUBLE BELIEVED
TO EE IN SIGHT.
Britain Takes the Initiative in Inter-
vention by the Powers-Asks Their
Cooperation Favorable Answers
Hellenic Spirits Dropping.


1t is week since the outbreak of war
between Greece and Turkey was announc-
ed. And it was precisely week after
the campaign was formally opened before
anything decisive was accomplished on
either side.
The victory of the Turks at Matt and
the subsequent evacuation of Tyrnavos
and Larissa by the Greeks is probably the
beginning of the end. The evacuation of
Larissa leaves an open road for the Turk
ish invasion for nearly half the distance
to Athens. This does not mean that the
march to Athens will be an easy affair
or speedily accomplished. The Greeks
fight desperately in retreat and when they
have lost one fight they are ready to fight
again. Under these circumstances-with
the reserves reaching the front and the
whole population aroused and armed
even the Turkish victory at Larissa will
simply mean more hard fighting along the
new line of defense which Prince Con-
stantine's forces have taken up.
An Athens correspondent believes that
the situation is not yet desperate for
Greece. A brave people that will fight
as they have fought during the past week
are unconquerable in Il mountainous coun-
try like the Greek peninsula, except as
the result of a long campaign with over
whelming forces If Edhem Pasha' S
army follows the retreating Greeks to the

Meet Again After Thirty Years.

Reunited after thirty years, each mourn
ing the other as dead, and learning their
mistake by accident, is the romance in the
lives of David Mckinney and his wife.
The man became separated from his
young wife when he entered the army to
fight for the preservation of the Union,
and at the close of hostiiities removed to
Oregon. The wife and mother concluded
that her soldier husband was dead, and
finally removed to La Crosse, where she
has since lived and where she raised her
family. In the course of time Mrs. Nc
Kinney applied for pension, when the
fact came out that her husband was alive,
and living in Oregon. Communication was
instituted and the full facts learned. Sun
day the sequel developed when Mr.. Nc
Kinney walked into the home of his wife.
The reunion was a happy one. Mr.. Nc
Kinney is nearly 20 years of age, and is
understood to be well-to-do. He will prob
ably take up a permanent residence at La
Crosse, though he is very fond of his far
western home, where, it is said, he has a
family of children, he having married in
Oregon. The second wife has Been dead

Are Present Juries Legal?

The new jury law, which has been pass
ed by the Legislature, has raised the nice
question in the Sheboygan Circuit Court,
namely, is the present jury legal one?
The new law says that where jury is re-
quired the judge shall, ''on or before the
first day Of July after the publication of
this act" designate three free holders as
commissioners, whose duties are defined
under the act. The law took effect upon
its publication, which was April 9. The

is drawn before court convsnes or after

their possessions for the victorious
Greeks. Terrific fighting is reported from
Arta, where the Turks suffered repulses
constantly while attempting to cross the
bridge into the town. The Moslems were
met at each onslaught by rifle yolleys and
were forced back in disorder. Again and
again, under cover of heavy cannon fire,
they tried to cross the bridge, but could
proceed no farther than the center.
Finally, in one assault, the Turkish
commander was killed, and his men fell
back in confusion, and made no more at
tempts to carry the bridge. Then the
Turkish cannon were silenced. Athens
advices say that the excitement there over
the Greek successes everywhere is in
tense, and reports from Volo say that even
women there are arming themselves to do
battle with the Turks.

REEVES the Goode1l Murder.

r
John Hoth of Elroy has been arrested
on the charge Of being the murderer of
Walter T. Goodell, young jeweler, in
August, 1894. Goodell was found lying
unconscious by the railroad track in the
eastern part of town. He was partially
covered with sand, his coat was rolled up
and was placed under his head and his
shoes were standing near by. He was
taken to the Y. NJ. G.. A. rooms and an
examination showed the only injury to be
a cash on the head. He never recovered
consciousness and died few days later
1T was thought that the railroad was the
cause of his death, and the revival of
the subject by the arrest of Hoth has
caused a sensation. 1t is claimed that
the prosecution has two witnesses who
saw the deed committed and who for some
unknown reason kept quiet. Others are
suspected, but as yet no other arrests have
been made. The arrest is the result of
over two years of continuous work of two
detectives detailed on the case.

encouraging to the fruit interests, the Sc

the fruit and berry buds in that section,
according to the reports.
In some sections of northern Indiana,
notably in DeKalb County, the mercury
registered Is degrees above zero Monday
night, and great injury resulted to fruit
and vegetables The heaviest damage
was inflicted in the southern sections of
Indiana, where the fruit was farthest ad-
vanced, and in the great fruit belt which
includes the counties along the Ohio river
and extends north for fifty miles. 1t is
estimated that nearly all the fruit in this
section is killed. but time may prove that
this estimate is incorrect.

Reports Indicate that the Crop Has

Unseasonably cold weather during the
last three days has created the gravest
fears among the fruit growers in many
sections of the country. Through Illinois
