Eagles Excursion Here Sunday

All arrangements are now COM
plete for the excursion to be given
on Sunday by the Benwood aerie
of Eagles, and it is being looked
forward to with a great deal of
interest. The trip will be made to
this city and return and the pala-

her birthday anniversary last ev-

occasion was a highly enjoyable

HEAVY RUSSIAN LOSSES.
Detailed Account of Battle of
Kieu Lien Cheng.

st. Petersburg, May 5.-The
Russian losses at the battle Of
Kieu Lien Cheng were 1000 men
and 40 officers-far greater than
previous reports indicated.
This is the official estimate Of
Major General Kashtalinsky, who
|directly commanded the division
that suffered the brunt of the at
tack and whose report was receiv-
led yesterday by the Emperor.
Many are inclined to place the
Russian losses even higher. Gen.
Eeral Kathtalinsky mentions also
that more than 100 wounded has
|arrived at Feng Wang Cheng and
these may not be included in his
calculations. He made no attempt
Ito estimate the japanese losses,
merely stating that they must
have been colossal.
The magnitude of the Russian
losses had an almost stunning ef-
feet on the authorities and arOus-
ed general grief, mitigated only
by satisfaction at the bravery dis
played by the Russian troops.
4 Not for a moment was there an
attention to pay such a terrible
price for delay in the enemy's
erossing of the Yalu. This fact
was known throughout the city,
and gave rise to- renewed reports,
attributed to official sources, that
General Kuropatkin had officially
censured Lieutenant General Kas-
salitch..
General Kashtalinsky's report
establishes the fact that the Rus
slams sustained the greatest loss in
order to save the two regiments
which were at Antung. The elev1
enth regiment was at the rear,
with instructions to hold back
the japanese. The Twelfth reg
iment and the third battery
quick firing detachment were di-
rected to retire.
{ When the latter movement COM
menced the japanese had almost
surrounded the Russian position.
The men of the second battery put
tffeif shoulders to the wheels in an
effort to push the guns up the
mountain side, but the japanese
fire was so hot that they returned
to the protection of the Eleventh
regiment.
Nearer and nearer approached
the japanese and charge upon
the Eleventh regiment and the
second battery was imminent, so
the guns were abandoned. Then
a priest led the troops, and they
began their terrible march across
the valley.

A Good Move.

The South Penn Oil company
has taken a step which might be
followed by many other employers
with profit. 1t will contribute to
a fund which is to be set aside for
the benefit of its employees. 1t
will give an amount equal to one
fourth Of what the men raise each
month. In case of sickness, acci-
dent or death the relief fund will
help over the financial end Of the

Capt. John C. Way, of this city,
is a candidate for the office of
County Commissioner. He is the
only candidate from Lincoln dis

He is competent. He is known
all over the county. He was a val
liant soldier. He has served as
Sheriff and Assessor of this coun-

one end of the county to the other.
He is bg, kind-hearted man,

would hesitate to submit their claims
to sober, deliberate convention.
ave are ashamed TO say that this
multiplication of candidates is encour-
aged by mercenary newspapers for
Matchmaking purposes. Almost any
man can make some sort of a showing
i'm the primaries by paying SO, filing
fee and dividing thousand dollars
among papers that make merchandise
of their news. The result is that vot-
ers are confronted in the primary cleo
tons with host of candidates, about
most of whom most of them have lit
tie authentic information. One or two
may be prominent enough to be known
favorably. Some may be evilly motor
ious and gain votes from the fact that
men remember their names vaguely
without remembering their infamy.
"Of the Others the most worthy are
unknown because they have refused to
be blackmailed. Those of whom the
public has read most during the cam
paign have been exploited by corrupt
newspapers for pay, and the knowledge
gained is untrusty. Honest voters di-
vide their blind choice as best they can.
Now and then the people can see
clearly what they want and a man
known to be good gets majority. But
often the vote is scattered among a
multitude, and some man the majority
or its delegated representatives never
would think of is chosen by plurality
that may not be one-tenth of the
whole vote.
"We think the remedy is to restore
the deliberate representative conven-
ton, retaining the primary law to pro-
tect choice of delegates to it from cor
ruption or manipulation"
So it seems that even the direct NOM
mating system, about which we hear
SO much, breeds dangers not much
different from those laid up against
the old system, not the least of which
is "the multiplication of candidates by
newspapers for blackmail-
ing purposes" There isn't any theory
about the situation in Minnesota. The
direct voting plan is in operation there;
the old Minneapolis Tribune tells how
it works. How do you like it?

EVILS IN "PRIMARY
REFORM" TOO.
Minnesota Finds System Not All That
Was Expected.

Minnesota Finds System Not All That
Was Expected.
To the Editor of the Free Press:
"Primary reform" and "direct nom
nations" have been discussed by De-
troit and Grand Rapids papers for so
long that they have succeeded in max
ing themselves believe that the "re-
form" is the one cure-all for our
numerous political ills. The subject
has been treated as a purely abstract
proposition, and the writer has failed
to see single instance in which the
results attained in other states where
the direct nominating plan is in opera
ton, have been exploited. The only
northern state in which the direct NOM
mating scheme prevails is Minnesota,
and even there candidates for state
officers are nominated in the old way
by delegate conventions. There is
some agitation in the newspapers for
the extension of the system in Mime
sofa, so as to include state officers,
but it is accompanied by a practically
unanimous demand on the part of the
friends of the system that some way
must be found to give geographical
representation and to prevent minority
rule. The operation of the direct
nominating system in Minnesota,
where candidates for congress, the
legislature, county offices, and in
some instances city offices are chosen
in this manner has resulted in most of
the nominations going to the centers
of population, hence the demand for
geographical distribution of the good
things. The multiplication of can.
didates under the system, as in the
city of Minneapolis for instance, where
nearly thirty candidates have filed for
the four places on the circuit bench,
will reveal what is meant by minority
rule" The candidate who can COM
mand 10 per cent of the vote in the
primary is sure of nomination. Gov.
Cummings. of the iowa idea" is also
a primary performer" He would NOM
mate all candidates under the direct
system, but in order to prevent "mi-
nority rule" he would require a candi-
date to have a majority of all the votes
of his party polled at the primary cleo
ton, and candidates failing to secure
such majority would be chosen in con-
vention, the delegates to which would
be elected at the primary. Although
the governor recommended such a law
to the legislature when it met last
winter, the country members turned
down the proposition and passed
direct nominating law applying only
TO Polk county, in which the city Of
Des Moines is situated, and where the
primary reform" propaganda had its
headquarters.
That the direct nominating system
in Minnesota falls far short of the
virtues claimed for the system by the
enthusiastic theorizers of our own
state, may be inferred from the follow
fng editorial paragraph from late
number Of the Minneapolis Tribune
now before me:
at is undeniable that the tendency
