Fire at Lookout Farm.

In the thunder storm of Friday night
the large cattle barn on George c. Cary's
Lookout Farm" at North Danville was
struck by lightning and burned. Four
teen cows, eight calves and one sheep
were burned. An attempt was made to
rescue the animals by two of the men at
the farm, and they had narrow escape.
Aside from the cattle, there was 20
loads OF hay, separator and a num-
Der of farming tools. While the fire was
in progress it was discovered that a tree
at the corner of the horse barn had been
struck and seven valuable cattle, who
were lying under the tree. had been in
stantly killed. In this lot were some of
the most valuable cows in Mr.. Cary's
herd, among them being GLADYS, cow
imported from Scotland last year and
valued at 500 Mr.. Cary estimates his
loss at about 81 500. The property was
all well insured.

the custom of ringing a curfew bell at 8
O'Clock in the summer and at in winter,
after which time all under the ages of 15
or 16 must be at their homes. Reports
show that this has been productive of
good results. 1t was the intention of the
committee to have the subject discussed
to see whether there was a sentiment in
favor of definite action in our village,
but the time did not permit.
An important announcement was
made by the literature committee in re-
gard to the August meeting. They have
been fortunate enough to secure (at a
bargain) Bliss Perry of the Atlantic
Monthly for his lecture on Literary
Fashions, but it will necessitate chang

Eight Hour Law for Letter Carriers.

For the past year our letter carriers
have been working under what was
known as the As hour law; that is, they
were restricted to As hours work for the
six working days of the week, but were
allowed to distribute the time among
the days as the amount of mail to be
delivered required. This was a rule
that was incorporated in an appropria-
ton act that expired June 80, and the
department ruled that the As hour ar
rangement could not continue beyond
that time. So, beginning Monday, the
letter carriers will work under the old
eight hour per day law and if patrons of
the Office occasionally fail to receive their
afternoon delivery on busy days it will
be the fault of the law and not of the
carriers. With the present force, how
ever, it is probable that delays will be
rare

WOman's Club.

At the Monday afternoon meeting two
subjects of Importance were discussed,
one, the subject of building a Woman's
Club house, the other relating to a
moral question in our community.
The committee appointed some time
ago to investigate matters pertaining to
the building of Club house, gave its
full report, through the chairman, Mrs.
Isabella Stevens. The report showed
labor and effort on the part of the COM
mittee, and awakened an interested dis
cussion. The question being put as to
how many felt a sufficient interest to
give the project some financial backing,
about half the ladies present arose. No
decisive action was taken.
This discussion greatly crowded the

Pittsburg, Pa, March. 27--K. Yot-
sunni, General in the Japanese I'm
perial Army, accompanied by Captains
N. Kayomi and l.. Matusi passed
through Pittsburg enroute to Califor-
MIA. They have been in this country
for the past three weeks securing data
for the benefit of the Imperial Army
and intended remaining for three or
more months but have been called
home.
General Yotsumi said: According to
communications from my Government,
| think conflict between Japan and
Russia is inevitable. think the OBJ
ject of my superiors in calling me home
is for the purpose of making prepara-
tions for war with Russia.
Japan and Russia are bound to come
together sooner or later as a result of
the contention over Corea This fact
seems to become more evident since the
outbreak of hostilities in China, and If
such engagement must occur Japan is
better equipped at present and will
doubtless hasten the termination of
this long-standing dispute"

Taken in the Matter Of Morocco Insults

Washington, D. c., March 27.-Upon
being advised by the Navy Department
that the New York had arrived at Tan.
gier, the State Department immediate
ly sent cablegram to Consul General
Gummere directing him to board the

his special mission. 1t has been left to
Gummere whether he is to be satisfied
if the Sultan and court meet him half
way at Mezergan, or whether he pro-
ceeds directly to Morocco city.
1t probably will make no difference
in principle, provided necessary expla-
nations are offered for the treatment
of our Consul, H. Reid, and provision
be made for the settlement of the
claim of 100000.
