Russia BIames Powers.

St. Petersburg, April Gas previ-
ously pointed out in these dispatches,
Russia now blames the powers for
China's refusal to accept the condi-
tions of the evacuation of Manchuria,
and calmly says she is in no hurry and
can await events The unbiased opin-
ion here is that Russia occupies an
impregnable diplomatic position from
which nobody can dislodge her. How
ever warlike Japan may feel, Russia
is confident that no opportunity will
be given her to take the offensive
without placing herself in the wrong.
AS far as can be seen, Japanese threats
have not caused ripple of excitement

Storm in West Virginia.

Wheeling, w. Va, April 5.-Reports
from all parts of West Virginia have
been kept back by broken wires, which
tell of severe snow, rain and wind
storms. All over the state there seems
tohave been heavy fall of snow except
in the southeastern part, where there
was rain instead and it amply made
up for the difference. There is great
alarm here and at down river points
lest there be flood stage in the Ohio.
The reports received do not warrant
such fears, but the alarm is caused
by fears that reports kept back by bad
wires may be more disquieting. All
the small streams in the upper part of
the state are bank full and the lumber
men are suffering great losses.
Blizzard in Kansas.
Mcdonald, Kan, April 6.-Another
terrific blizzard has been experienced
in the northwestern corner of Kansas
and has increased the suffering in the
towns along the Orleans & st. Fran
els branch of the Burlington & Mis-
souri, River railroad that have been
showed up since March %. The storm
started at eight o'clock Thursday
night and lasted ten hours. Much
suffering exists at half dozen small
towns within a radius of 40 miles,
many of the people having been short
of fuel and provisions for IL days

Uniontown, Pa, April S. Reports

In Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh, Pa, April 5.-Because of
the very general prostration of the
telegraph wires, news concerning the
effects of Wednesdays storm in near
by towns is meager, but what has come
to hand shows the storm to have been
destructive in the extreme. Butler,
McKeespOrt, Greensburg, YOUNGSTOWN
and several up-river points all tell the
same story of the heaviest SNOW and
rainfall in years, great destruction
caused by falling telegraph and tele-
phone poles, the crushing in of house
roofs and breaking down of trees,
fences, etc. Many accidents are re-
ported but no fatalities.
In this city order is gradually being
restored, street car service has re-
sumed almost it's normal condition
but it will require several weeks of the
hardest kind of work to put telephone,
fire alarm and electric light wires in
their former condition.

JARRETTsvILLE. September 1.-THE
assassination of President Mckinley has
produced quite sensation about our
village for the past several days. Every
one is condemring the william who bears
the name of the assassin and his asso-
ciates. All were hoping and praying for
the Presidents recovery. Each incoming
mail was attended by many who showed
deep anxiety. In accordance with the
Governors proclama ion special services
of prayer were held in various churches
on Tuesday evening, September 9th. The
shocking report of his death reached the
village Saturday morning. Although the
hopes and prayers of Christian people
may seem fruitless to many, it is the rul-
ing of an all-wise Providence, and we, as
nation, are left to CLEAN from it the les.
sons it may teach US The flag over our
school building has been floating at half
mast and the staff draped with black since
Saturday morning.
The Madonna base ball team played an
interesting game with the Jarrettsville
nine last Saturday on the grounds of the
latter. The score was to in favor of
the home team. A large number of spec
tators were present.
We are glad to learn that Mr.. N. o.
Stokes, who is in the Adirondack Noun
tains for his health, israpidly improving.

trip to the Pan-American Exposition and

MILITARY AT THE FAIR.

The military encampment, which we
referred to in last weeks issue, will be
an important feature at the coming
county Fair. At special meeting of the
appropriated towards defraying the ex-
penses. 1t will probably cost more than
this but the balance will be made up by
voluntary contributions. The boys will
serve without pay, the State will loan
the tents and necessary appointments
and the Society will furnish transporta-
ton and food. The companies which will
participate are as follows: Company G,
commanded by Lieutenant Philip E.
Porter; Company M, Captain Hugh B.
Riley; both of Annapolis; Company H,
Captain J ohm F. Auer, Frizzelburg, Carroll
county and Company D, Captain Thomas
G. Forwood, of Bel Air. This will make
an aggregation of two hundred men.
The daily camp routine will be observed.
There will be guard mount, inspection,
sham battles with blank cartridges and
extended order drills. Many of these
men have seen active service during the
late war and all of the companies are
noted for their excellent drilling. The
Board has authorized Captain Thomas
G. Forwood to make all the necessary
arrangements. He will shortly hold a
meeting in Baltimore with the other
officers of the different companies that
will participate, and the full details of
the encampment will be mapped out.
This encampmeut will prove to be a
drawing card at the Fair. The military
is always attractive, especially to the
ladies, and it will enable many of our
citizens who are not familiar with every
day camp life to see just how the boys
fare. They will do their own cooking
and the novelty will be attractive both to
participants and onlookers.
The electric motor race will doubtless
be of exciting nature. The excitement is
equal to a fox hunt or hurdle race and
the speed that they make upon the track
is simple phenomenal

CHENILLE, Sept. 16.-Notwithstand-
ing the many complaints about the short
age of the tomato crop this season, Mr..
Joel w. Silver has two splendid fields.
They are not only of good size, but are
solid and ripen well.
People in this part of the county had
the pleasure of observing beautiful SUM-
set last Sunday evening. The sky had
been darkened by the wind clouds and
then hidden by the downpouring rain.
After the rain ceased. the sun appeared
and made beautiful scene. The whole
west seemed golden yellow with the
sun just sinking below the horizon. Then
gradually it became streaked with blue
until finally the approach ofnight blotted
out the whole scene, which l am sure
must have been enjoyed by many.
Truly-"The heavens declare the glory
of God and the armament showeth his
handiwork."
The public schools have opened again
and although the attendance is small, on
account of the canning houses being in
operation, the children go at their work
again with will, after their vacation.
One of the prettiest flower lawns have
seen lately is that one cared for by Miss
Fanny Silver at her home near Chenille.
One can see most all the early Fall flowers
i'll their various colors. These surround
ed by the green grass. make very pleas
ing sight. OAK.
