News From Orient.

YOKOHAMA, Japan, Feb. % Cvia Victo-
ria, B. c., March 1).-The persistency
with which the Western press clings to
the imminence Of war between Russia, and
Japan is attracting much attention here.
Thus far there has seemed to be no foun-
dation whatsoever for the runor. The
fact that now impresses the public is the
arrival of representatives of some Of tn.
prominent New York papers, for the ex-
press purpose OF being on the spot when
the outbreak comes. This, together with
the activity prevailing in the Russian
squadron in Eastern waters, assembling
in force as it is in the Korean straits, and
the reports constantly coming in Of ex-
traordinary doing at Port Arthur have
at last forced the conviction that where
there is so much smoke there must be
some fire, and the people and press are
correspondingly on the qui vive.
In official circles, however, the utmost
calm is manifested, while everybody eise
is wondering what it all means
In the meantime one Of the Chinese pa
pers actually propounds the theory that
Japan will be likely to take the oppor-
tunity furnished by the approaching ma
neuvers in the Korean straits to strike a
sudden blow al Russia.
The question as to landtilles held by ths
foreigners here under the old treaties has
at last been settled by an authoritative
communication from the foreign office u
the French minister, which IS entirely
satisfactory to the holders, and, there
fore, one of the chief causes Of friction
under the new order of things has been
removed.
Yokohama has been visited by another
great fire, sweeping away some 800 houses
in the native town. Comparative utcer
destitution has not been caused by it, as
the Japanese are now largely awaiting
themselves of the resource of insurance.
| The arrival of Prince WaIdemar of Den
mark will be the occasion of a round Of
festivities when the empress has fully re
covered from her recent quite severe III
ness. The emperor has wholly recovered

A typical Chistlan soldier was he;

the moral evil and gagged its ravages

line was opened little later IN the
afternoon, the Office will be in the

local exchange here is in working
order they will be taken up AS soon
as possible the Lebanon end of the

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine IN the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grsndmothers never thought OF using
anything else for indigestion or bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce and
they seldom heard of appendicitis,
nervous prostration or heart failure,
etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fer
mentation OF undigested food, regu-
late the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took
when feeling dull and bad with head
aches and other aches. You only

A Short Trip.

One day recently a HERALD repre-
sentative accepted al invitation from
Carl Smith to take ride out in the
country. The first stop was made at
II. ct. Swisher's, seven miles west Of
the city. Mr.. Swisher has six acre
field of alfalfa way up on top of
hill, 242 feet above water, that shows
up as we'll as any in the county and
proves that tbs valuable crop can be
grown on upland or low laud. Mr..
SwIsher is making many improve
ments on bis home place and has one
of the best locations in the county.
Will Bishop next took the pilgrims
in and, assisted by his good wife, en-
tertained them for an hour. Mr..
Bishop is just starting out in life and
has good prospects before him. On
the way home stop was made at
August Krause's. Here we found q
neighborhood party of fathers, moth
ers and babies big and little. Mr..
Krause is a new conner who is max
ing q good farm out of raw $50 just
over in Belmont. He has erected
big house, barn, and many other i'm
provements. Supper was served to
the visitors, and taste of German
hospitality was extended to them.
One more stop was made at Mike
Eltiste's, who, by hard work, is gath
ering around him on his half section
fine buildings, stock, mschin cry and
all the fittings of first class farm.
This section of the county makes a
fine showing.

THICK OR THIN SEEDING.
A New Drift In the Matter For Both
Wheat and Grass

While some of the largest recorded
yields Of various farm crops have been
obtained from very light seeding near
ly every series of experiments, carried
through long term of years, indicates
that the largest average yields of most
crops are obtained from heavy seeding.
Under favorable soil and climatic con-

has been made to produce an enormous
crop, and some such instances in the
case of wheat, Of corn, of potatoes and
