SUPPORT FOR THE FAIR

The time has come again for the
people of Lewiston Valley to come to
the front with support for the fair and
the committee now waiting on the citi-
zens and business men should meet
with liberal donations. The Interstate
Fair & Racing association has given
four successful meetings and the value
and permanency of the fair is now a
fixed feature in the minds Of the peo-
pie of the Inland Empire who have
been attracted to these meetings.
The coming meeting must eclipse all
former meetings and can easily do it
because the country is growing and
developing in all lines and the fair can
easily keep pace with the country in
the extent and variety of it's exhibits.
The successes of past years have led
the people who visited the fair to be-
1ieve in the ability Of Lewiston to con-
tinue this in the future and their ex-
pectations are set on something for the
coming year that will eclipse the rec
ords Of the past.
There is not doubt that the people
will rise to the occasion but it is we'll
to keep in mind what is expected and
what must be accomplished by a hearty
cooperation between the fair man.
agement and the citizens Of Lewiston
and Charleston all Of whom must join
hands for the ultimate success Of the
meeting:

The Russian commander in the East
IL hurriediy arranging his plans anew.
No special provision was made for the
present situation. The Russians must
therefore concentrate new lines Of de-
fence. It was supposed that the Japa-
nese would attack by sea and land at
New Chwang as soon as the ice was
out Of the harbor. but the landing was
effected at another and practically un-
covered place. New Chwang was thus
exposed to a speedy rear attack. SO its
fortincations were dismantled and guns
rushed north by train. Port Arthur is
isolated and there is no method in sight
by which 1t can be relieved. The Japa-
nese hold the narrow peninsula north
OF the stronghold with a large body of
infantry. in cooperation with the fleets
They are destroying the railroad as fast
as they can reach it and can easily sup
ply their own forces by sea. Russia s
outlook at Port Arthur is about as dark
as it could be short Of admitting that
all fighting chance is gone.
Suggestive bits of information come
from St Petersburg touching the diff
culties with which the Russians are
contending in caring for their army

SEVEN BLOWN TO DEATH
Five Others So Seriously Injured Thai
Their Recovery is Impossible.
ENTIRE FIRE WORKS PLANT IN RUI'lS.
The Explosion Occurred Shortly Before the
Employees Assembled for Daty-A Least
Twenty Persons Were on Their Way to the
Factory When the Explosion 0ccured-1he
Property Loss Is Estimated at 100000.

Findlay, O., (SpcciaD AS a result
OF an explosion i'll the two drying
rooms of the Lake Shore Novelty
Company's plant here, seven persons
are known to be dead, five are so
seriously hurt that recovery is bellev-
ed to be impossible and twelve or hf,
teen are injured badly.
From reports of the physicians ten
of the less seriously injured may die
as a result of blood poinsoning from
the potash that was driven into their
bodies.
The Lake Shore Novelty Company
works covered nearly ten acres OF
ground in the southwestern yart OF the
city and employed nearly 200 men,
women and children. Railroad torpe-
does and Fourth of July explosives
were manufactured
Owing to the large rush Of orders
the officials of the plant requested the.
employees to report for duty Sunday
About thirty complied with the re-
quest.
Sunday morning the residents Of
Findlay were startled by two explo-
sions that shattered windows through
out the city. The conclusion was felt
for miles arounl. Two magazines, in
separate rooms at the novelty works,
let go simultaneously with terrific re-
ports. The exact cause of the eXplO-
sion is not definitely known. 1t is
surraised that one of the Sherwood
brothers, who were the only persons
in the drying rooms, dropped large
box of torpedoes, but this theory can
not be confirmed.
The explosion occurred shortly be-
fore the employees assembled for duty.
At least twenty persons were on Their
way to the factory when the ex-
plosion occurred.
Human forms were streWn cOns1d-
cradle distances apart on the factory
site. The remains of the Sherwood
brothers were found in drying room

Cossacks Stop Jap's A vance.

London, (By Cable).-While por-
ton of the Japanese Army in Man
churia, which had been advancing
toward the Russian position, has fallen
back to the vicinity of Feng Wang
Cheng, after sharp fighting with Cos
sacks Thursday in a mountainous dis
trict, there are no official reports OF
heavy losses on either side.
General Kurokis army is moving
in several divisions, and according to
General Kuropatkin's official report to
the Gar there was no general engage
ment, the fighting being confined to a
detachment of Cossacks and detach-
ment of the advance guard of the
Japanese division marching northward,
with the supposed intention of exc
cutting a flank movement on Mukden.
A correspondent at Niuchwang
states that the Japanese numbered
10000 and the Russians $4,000, and
that the fight took place 90 miles west
of Feng Wang Cheng. These figures
as to the relative size of the opposing
forces are likely exaggerated. All re-
ports state, however, that the Japanese
fell back IL to IS miles near their base,
at Feng Wang Cheng.
Without a fight the Russians have
evacuated Kaiping, IS miles south Of

To Make the Title Clear.

Acting Secretary of State LOOMS
made the following statement:
I'm order to completely close the
Panama Canal transaction, and to
avoid any question as to the authority
of the United States over the canal
zone arising out of the fact that the
consideration for concession had not
actually been paid as provided by the
treaty, the Department of State, acting
under the advices of the Attorney
General has paid over to J. P Morgan
& Co., the duly constituted fiscal
agents of the Panama government
the remaining 100000 of the sum
stipulated in the treaty as the consld-
Grafton for the concession"
The warrant was made out by the
Treasury officials and was brought to
Mr. LOOMS, who handed it to George
W. Perkins, representing Morgan &
Co., who i'll turn will cash it at the
New York Subtreasury 1t was the
original plan of the State Department
to retain this S9,ooo,ooo in the Treas
ury until the arrival here next June
of Senior Obaldia, the newly appoint
ed Panamaian minister This plan
was suggested by the government OF
Panama itself, which was not disposed
to have SO large sum of money as
STo,ooo,ooo placed at one time in the
Panamaian treasury, where it might
prove a great temptation to restless
revolutionary efforts.
But, as Mr.. LOOMS explains, our
own government decided that its title
would be better and the field of oper.
atoms on the isthmus would be cleared
without delay for the Canal Commits
sion if the full payment were made
to Panama. Therefore, the govern.
ment of the latter country designated
Morgan & Co. assits fiscal agents in
the United States, and while they viii
take over TIE money it will still remain
in New York.

TREATMENT FOR LOCKJAW.
Physician Ia New York Hospital Adopts Ger
man Method.

New York, (SpeciaD.-Two sue
cessful experiments in treating teta'
nus have been made by physicians in
Gouvernueur Hospital. 1t is new
mode of treatment and was discovered
by a celebrated German scientist
His theory is that many diseases
such as lockjaw, spread through the
nervous system rather than through
the blood. Heretofore cases of lock
jaw have been treated by injecting
tetanus antitoxin into the blood and
even into the cranial cavity. The
treatment is often unsuccessful.
The patients treated in Gouvern'
eur Hospital were two boys, one OF
whom ran nail into his foot. The
other was shot in the hand with a
blank cartridge. The condition oil
both became very serious. When the
hope for their recovery was almost
abandoned Dr. Rogers experimental
with the new theory. Instead OF III
jecting the antitoxin into the blooo
or skin of the patient whose tool
was injured, the physician made an
incision at the groin, where the les
nerves join the trunk nerves, and the
nerves themselves injected with the
antitoxin.
The effect was beneficial at once
In two weeks he was convalescent
and he LETT the institution completely
cured about a week ago. The other
boys nerves were laid bare in the
upper arm, just below the shoulder,
and the antitoxin was injected in the
nerves. He also began to improve
Immediately, and will be able to leave
the hospital in a short time.
