A lesson in the school of experience
may not always be expensive, but 1T will
retain its value of practicability never
theless. AS an instance, Athena's 4th
of July celebration may be cited. 1t is
doubtful if the town will ever again be
caught In the trap of two-day celebra-
tion, with amusements and attractions
that to the satisfaction Of people in at
tendance could be conveniently exhibit
cd in one day. The different commit
tees did exceedingly well, considering
what they had with which to make ends
meet, and no word of criticism can be
uttered against them It is eafe to pre-
dict that Athena has had her first and
last two-day Fourth of July celebration.

at about $3.50 O'Clock in the morning
in the smokehouse located in the center
OF the building occupied by the Stanton
Cold Storage company by the night en-
gineer, X. j. Huber, who made an at
tempt to put it out, but owing to the
great amount of grease and meat near
by, the flames spread SO rapidly that it
was impossible for him to do any good,
80, leaving the building, he went to the
saloon next door and sent in an alarm
from there.
By the time the department arrived
on the scene the flames had gained
such Roadway that almost the entire
building, which is one story brick, ex-

another NAVAL JAP VICTORY
RUSSIAN vLADlvosTok SQUAD.
RON DEFEATED.
Battle Took Place in Strait OF Korea
Battle Lasted Five Hours-Russian
Cruiser Sunk-Whereabou of Crew
Unknown-Tokio Is Jouul-Armies'
Positions Unchanged.

Toxic, August 15.-Vice Admiral
Kamimura encountered the Russian
Vladivostok squadron at dawn today
north of Tsu island, in the strait of
Korea, and attacked the enemy at
once. The battle lasted for five hours,
and resulted in a complete Japanese
victory. The Russian cruiser Rurik
was sunk and the cruisers Rossia and
Gromoboi fed to the northward, after
having sustained serious damage. Vice
Admiral Ramimura cables the navy de-
partment that the injuries inflicted
upon his vessels were slight.
The fate of the crew of the Rurid
is not known.
Toxic is joyous over this news, as
it gives Japan mastery of the sea and
restores commerce.
Tienshiuten, Aug 16.-The relative
positions of the Japanese and Russian
armies are unchanged. During the last
few days the Russian positions along
the Mukden road have been steadily
strengthened and it appears as though
General Kuropatkin has planned to
make his final stand at the Liaoyang
position.
Owing to a cessation of the rain the
rivers have fallen perceptibly and
great activity has been the rule in the
Japanese commissary, which has been
transporting supplies Of every char
acter to places where they will be
handy when the next advance is or
dered.

DEATH RATE HIGH IN RUSSIA.
Half the Children Never Reach the
Ace Of IS.

Moscow, Russia.-The Russ calls at
tention to the infant mortality in Rus
STA. OF all the children born annually
in SO provinces of eastern Russia one
fourth die before they reach the age
of year, and another fourth never
reach Is. There are certain districts
in central provinces where rs per cent
of the children die before they reach
the age of years.
In the provinces of Tambov, Foron-
esh and Kurzk, for example, child NOR
;ality is so great that in spite of the
large number of births in proportion
to the population the people are al
ready threatened with extinction.
To officers of high military com
mand it is likewise pointed out that
an increasing number of recruits are
annually rejected for physical defects
which are directly traceable to semi
starvation.

HEIR TO RUSSIAN THRONE.
Son Was Born and Gar Is Happy-AIl
Doing Well.

A son and heir to the Russian throne
has been born.
The empress and the baby czaro-

of condition. The heir to the throne
at his birth weighed 1917 pounds, Eng
lish weight. and has dark hair like

Michael. joyfully surrendered his
rights and prestige as heir apparent to
the throne to his infant nephew.
In receiving the congratulations OF
his court the emperor in a brief reply

ly and without alarm, knowing by this
sign that the war will be brought to

Port Arthur
Will Soon Fall

st. Petersburg, Aug. 16.-The expec-
tation here is that Port Arthur will fall
at any moment. Especial significance
is ascribed to the fact that Lieutenant
General Stoessel's wife and children
went to Chefoo on board the torpedo
boat destroyer Ryeshitelni.
A report from Chefoo says the Rus
sian ships at Port Arthur made sortie
early today. They are now being pur-
sued by,the Japanese. A severe engage
ment is expected.
A junk which has arrived at Chefoo
from Port Arthur reports that the Jap.
anese have captured Fort Hanlungs-
hung, an important position mile
from the main fortress. Other junks
which arrived having left Port Arthur
August 12, brought reports that the
Japanese occupied new positions on
that day. The firing at Port Arthur
was heavy but intermittent, and indi-
Gated that the assaults were being con-
tinued. The Russians at Port Arthur
are reported to be downhearted.
At st. Petersburg it is announced
that orders had been issued to the
cruiser division of the Russian Baltic
sea squadron to sail for the far east. A
portion Of the fleet left Kronstadt at
once and the remainder of the cruisers
will within "a or SO hours.
The exact route which the vessels
will take has not been made known,
but it is believed they will go around
the Cape of Good Hope, coaling from
golfers which will meet them enroute.
The battleships Of the squadron will
not sail for a fortnight.
According to high official, the or
dering Of the squadron is because of
the depleted state of the Russian navy
caused by the victories of Admirals
Togo and Kamimura. With the Port
Arthur fleet rendered practically use-
less, the Rurik sunk, the remaining
vessels Of the Vladivostok contingent
laid up for repairs, the cars officials
feel that no time is to be lost in hurry
ing to the front to regaing, if, possible,
supremacy of the Pacific.
The emperor has received the follow
ing dispatch from viceroy Alexieff:
According to report from Port
Arthur August II, the Japanese at
tackled Taku and Siaohou mountains in
enormous force during the night of
August 10 and occupied them after 15
hours's fighting on the night of August
Is. During heavy rainstorm the
Japanese attacked our east front, but
were repulsed at all points. They also
attacked simultaneously our whole
front from Wolf hills to Taku noun
tain, but everywhere were driven back.
The fortress hasrbeen bombarded from
the east for four days"

JAPAN IS GOING TO EXPLAIN.
Claims Her Action Was Taken In Sell
Defense,

Claims Her Action Was Taken In Self
Defense.
The Japanese legation has informed
the Associated Press that the Toxic
government will send a circular note
to the powers on the subject of the
seizure of the Russian destroyer Ryes-
hitelni.
The cutting out of the Russian tor
pedo boat destroyer by the Japanese
torpedo boat destroyers at Chefoo has
eclipsed for the moment in the public
mind the Knight Commander incident.
Both, however, are receiving the earn
est attention of the cabinet.
All the information received at the
Japanese legation, which is not official,
however tends to establish the fact
that the Japanese torpedo boat de-
stroyers entered Chefoo for the pur-
pose Of ascertaining if the Ryeshitelni
was really dismantled, and unable to
take part in future operations, that
the Japanese boats crew was attacked
by the Russians and the Japanese re-
piled in self defense, and that seeing
the Ryeshitelni was able to continue
military operations, she was towed out
to sea.
This version does not agree with the
original reports received by the Brit
ish foreign office, in whcih the Jap
anese appear to have been the ag
gressors.

Toxic, Aug.tufss.r-Fags are. It, fy'ng'

"banzai" are ringing in the streets Of
Toxic in honor of the victory gained at
sea by Admiral Togo and Vice Admiral
of the populace lies a feeling of deep
satisfaction and qualification at the dis

of the war. The Russian squadron
which confronted Admiral Togo re-
fused battle. 1t was stronger than Ad-
miral Togo's squadron in battleships
and armored cruisers, and had it elect

ed the fortunes of war. The strength
Of the squadron which opposed Ad-
miral Togo compelled him to draw ves-

expensive to Japan, and not only was

navy, however, grimly refused to make
diversion and stuck to Port Arthur. 1t
was confident that the harbor soon
would be untenable for the Russian
warships; that it would eventually get
fair fight in the open sea away from
the Russian land batteries and that
the Japanese would win. The calcula-
tons of the navy were correct, and the
Russians, with the chances even, have
been hopelessly defeated.
Control Port Arthur.
Japanese guns dominate the dock
yards at Port Arthur, and, in view Of
this fact, it would seem to be impos-
sible to again make seaworthy or fight
able the four Russian battleships which
have returned to Port Arthur. The
best possible naval force that Russia
can now concentrate at Vladivostok is
four cruisers.
Cheefoo, Aug. ia telegram just
received here from a reliable source
states that a general attack on Port
Arthur began at o'clock this morn
ing.
st. Petersburg.-There is a general
belief, which is borne out by the latest
dispatches, that the situation at Port
Arthur is a desperate one. Apparently
the Japanese are concentrating all
their energies toward the reduction of
the fortress in order to release heavy
reinforcements for the operations
gainst General Kuropatkin, and it is
thought that until this has been accom-
plished the advance on Liayang will be
suspended.
The St Petersburg Boerse Gazette
has received the following dispatch
from its Liayang correspondent:
Twelve Japanese regiments have
left in the direction Of Port Arthur.
at is stated on trustworthy author
ity that the mikado has ordered that
Port Arthur must be taken at any cost,
even If 1t necessitates the suspension
of operations in Manchuria, and 1t is
quite probable the main Japanese force
will proceed to Port Arthur within
few days.
