OFF the coast, apparently about six miles
to the southwark, IA shots having been
heard between and 1880 Tuesday morn
ing. The morning was hazy and 1t was
impossible to distinguish objects at sea-
"A credible report has reached here that
two cruisers and i've gunboats were OF
Knchow Tuesday.
Says Firing Was Gun Practice.
-Chwang, March 23.-The firing
heard here Tuesday morning, it has
been officially explained, was from the
guns of a fort engaged in practice. A
correspondent learns that the Russians
notified the Chinese late Monday even
ing that this gun practice would occur,
but not in time for the information to
become known. Consequently there was
considerable alarm when the firing was
heard.
The British residents here have sent
a petition to Sir Ernest Satow, the Brit
ish minister at Picking, asking that a
iwarship be allowed to remain at New
Chwang.

There have been an unusual number
of people from Dow City aud vicinity
in Denison the past week, called here
ON account OF the trial of the Butler
boys.
Rev. Geo. E. Morphy performed the
ceremony that united MIR. Dave NJ.
Helsel, Of Dow City, and Miss Nellie

Many Denison friends will be panied
to learn of the death of Mrs Pat Nc
Carthy who died at her home
in Springfield. s. D., last week,
She was formerly resident of Denison
and was known IS one Of the best OF
ladies'. Mr. and Mrs. T. G. Mccarthy
went to Springfield on Thursday to
attend the funeral.
A serious misstatement occurred In
our last weeks issue owing to q mistake
on the part of the compositors. The
account of the Easter services at the
Methodist church contained the state
ment that $l5 was raised for missions.
The error was due to the commission OF
cipher. The regular superintendent
is $3.50. and over $500 was raised in a
very short time. the first subscription
being greatly in excess of the amount
named last week.

A DEBuTANTE.

A puff, frill, bit of lace,
A patch Of powder on the face.
A rounded arm, slender neck,
White shoulders, without flaw or heck,
And-nothing more.
A row of teeth, an infant smile,
A glance quite innocent of guile,
A little head well packed with lore
OF flounce, fichu and proper gore
And-nothing more
A knowledge that the world Is round.
Some dim idea of time and sound
A phrase or two of French, you know;
Enough ragtime to make a show
And-nothing more.
A sweet contempt for old time ways
For classic bards or modern lays;
A constancy much like the wind,
But scant regard for men who grind
And-nothing more.
A mannerism not too bold,
A deep idolatry of gold,
A high resolve to play no part
Where one surrenders to the heart
And-nothing more.
A puff. frill. bit Of lace,
A patch of powder on the face,
A soul in which small int'rests lie
A simple social butterfly
And--nothing more.

JOE EPpERsoN GOES WRONG.
Carroll Boy Well Known in Denison,
Disappears Very Suddenly.

Many Den,son people will no doubt
be surprised to learn that Mr.. Joe Ep-
person, of Carroll, has disappeared,
leaving his accounts with the Iowa
Telephone Co., in very bad shape.
There are other people in Denison who
are not at all surprised. and who would
have been glad at any time to have
met the gentleman. From the Carroll
Herald we clip the following:
The affairs of the Iowa Telephone
company at this place are UNDERGOING
an investigation THE week. 1t Seems
that J. E. Epperson who has been man.
ager for the last six years, or 30. dtssp-
peared Saturday very suddenly. His
departure caused alarm in certain
quarters and Tuesday morning head
officers Of the company. from Daven-
port. were on hand and proceeded to
check up his accounts. Gen. Supt.
Mel arland, Gen. Auditor Palm, Of
Davenport. and Mr.. Ramsey, of Des
Moines are still busy looking into the
affairs of the late manager, but are not
prepared to give out any statement.
There is little doubt that there are
grounds for grave rumors that have
been started concerning the findings
they have already ImaGe. This paper
does not deem it wise to go into partic-
ulars, as full statement will be ready
for next weeks issue.
There are number OF people in
Carroll who have reason to be concern
ed in the whereabouts of j. E. Epper-
son. and the Herald is warranted II
saying that the company's affairs here
have not been left in the best condi
tion. A competent and reliable maj
will soon be Installed as his successor

RUSSIANS BECOMING STRONGER

ST. Petersburg, BY Cabls.-The best
informed circles attach no Importance
10 the reports that Gen. kuropatkin has
detached a large force from hts army
at Lao Yang and dispatched 1t south
ward to relieve Port Arthur. and Ii is
distinctly denied that Emperor Mich
olas personally ordered such move
ment II can be authoritatiVely stated
that the Emperors confidence in ku-
ropatkin is unshaken and his majesty
IS not attempting to interfere with his
plan OF campaign. While 30 such
army has been dispatched southwark,
it is natural that Kuropatkin will do all
possible to harass General Oku's rear.
The railroads have been kept open as
far as Vafangow, 2j miles above Kin
Chou, and it is not unlikely. since the
Japanese have failed to push through
line across the head of the Lao Tung
peninsula, that several thousand Rus
sian troops may be sent down the rail-
road to impede the japanese operations
and infict as much damage as possible,
as these could be easily withdrawn by
railroad if the enemy threatened to cut
the line of communication above. Even
the loss Of few regiments would be
considered cheap If the japanese op-
erations against Port Arthur were
| thereby retarded for an appreciablc
| time However, il is realized that with
the japanese occupation of Port Dalny
and Talie1-Wan as bases for landing
| siege guns, the small force above Kin
Chou could accomplish but little, and it
is now more likely to be withdrawn,
destroying the railroad as it retires
! northward. For strategic purposes
! Kuropatkin may be trying TO
make the japanese believe that
movement southwark is contemplated,
in order to divert Kurokis' attention in
that direction. The impression is be-
ing thrown out in certain quarters here
!, that Kuropatkin is about to take the
offensive and that an engagement with
| Kuroki is imminent. But, 81 IA, GO
can be ascertained, there is no solid
foundation for this 1t is unquestion-
able. however, that the railroad is
pouring troops into Manchuria at the
rate OF almost $500 day and it Will
not be long at the present rate before
the Russian commander-in-chief will
be at least on equal terms with any
force the enemy can bring against
him.
The general staff is keeping very
dark about the whereabouts and pur'
poses of the Cossacks reported to be
working around Kuroki's rear and the
number Of raiders operating in Korea
