AT PLEVNA,


repulsed in two successive assaults on
Plevna with terrific loss, and the Rou-
manian army was called to the rescue.
Here as elsewhere throughout the cam
paign the enormous superiority of the
Martini-Peabody rifle, with which the
Turks were armed, exhibited itself over
the transformed Krinka rifle that was
in the hands of the Russians. The su-
periority of the Turkish arm over the
Russian was about as seven to three
in point of range Mehemet ALI hav-
ing reorganized his forces and formed
new plan of campaign, sent instruc-
tions to Osman to evacuate Plevna and
retire either on OrkhaniCh toward Sofia
or on Lovdsha, Immediately south of
Plevna, as he thought most expedent.
Osman replied that as soon as he had
sent away his sick and wounded he
would act on instructions. At the same
| time Mehemet Ali telegra rhed to Sule-
! imam, who was wasting the flower of
| his army in Intellectual attempts to
carry Shipka, to leave a force sufii-
cient to hold the Russians on the pass
in observation and move around to Os-
| man Bazaar by forced marches to join
| him. The outcome of these orders that
| the sultan telegraphed Mehemt Ali that
! Osman had received orders from him
| self to hold on to Plevna, and Suleiman
| to remain at Shipka, and that hence
| forth they We're detached from his or
ders. The intrigues against Mehemet
Ali, because of his German origin, end
ed in his ultimate suppression by Sule-
| imam. With the change of command
ers in the Turkish army and the arrival
| of the Russian reinfOrcements, armed
with the Berdan rifle and Todleben as
! commander the fortune of war turned.
| The efforts Suleiman made, first round
Rustchuk and then in the Balkans to-
ward Tirnova, to break in on the Rus
sian communications were repulsed at
every point. Osman succumbed to the
! blockade Todleben had established
round Plevna, and his attempt to cut
his way out was frustrated by the Rus
sian general, to whom he surrendered
| with the whole of his army

Or all the enlogles in literature there is none more beautiful thnn the following upon Gen. Robert F. Lee. It fell from the silver tongue Of that eloquent Georgian, Senator Benjamin H lfill and ls snId to be extempore.
 When our future historian comes to survey the character of Lee, he will find It rising like huge moun- tain above the undulatIng plane of humanity. and he will have to hit his eyes far toward heaven to catch it's summit. He possessed every virtue of the other great command CTS without their wees. He wns n foe without hnte, friend without tfeaehery, q soldier without cruelty and q victim without mnrtneeing.

An Easy Trick When You
 Know T..

Writing on "How I Do Ny Tricks" in the November Ladies Journal, Magician Harry Kellar ex- plains how to accomplish the dif1i- cult feat of blowing piece of cork into a bottle-a trick that will defy every one who does not know the only way by which it may bc done. Ask some one, Mr. Kellar directs. ''if he thinks he can blow a small bit of cork, which you have placed in the mouth og q bottle. so that it will go into the bottle. Lay the bottle on the table upon it's side. and place tho bit of cork about an inch or less inside the open end. He will blow until he gets red in the face. and the cork will invariably come ou of the bottle instead of going into it. Simple reason for it, too; the direc- tion of the air, forced by the one flowing, brings it against the Hottom of the bottle. The air com presses within the bottles walls and lhlnst find outlet, therefore Is turned and forced out at the only vent the bottle has, necessarily blowing the cork ont with 1t. But take a lemon bde straw, place the end of it near the cork in the bottle neck. blow very gently-and the cork rolls in. =

Yuma'S New Ice Plant.

Pool X Halbert's artificial ice plant building on Second street, near Main IS rapidly nearing completion. A large force of carpenters, masons, machinists and laborers are employed daily and in very short space of time the machinery will be running and if necessary 20 tons of ice can be manufactured daily. Large cold stor- age rooms will be at the disposal of our merchants and citizens, and those who can afford to use them will be enabled to keep anything they may desire cool and fresh. This will prove great boone to our business men and the citizens of Yuma in general and will no doubt be literally patronized by all who can afford the laxury.
 Messrs. Pool & Halbert will have expended fully $25,00O when their plant is completed. Every citizens in this section are benefited by the turn ing loose of such large amount of money in our midst and should do all in their power to advance the interests of this enterprising firm.
