summerset Strawberries.

Strawberry beds may be prepared at
almost any time of year, as new beds
can be set from early spring to early
fall. 1t is well to begin the work a
considerable time before the plants
are to be set, that the ground may be
worked and reworked before the plants
are put in. In a month or two the
weed should have been thoroughly
killed and the ground ready to receive
the plants. Many growers put in
bed in June as soon as the berries are
picked and new plants have begun to
form rapidly. The best method of
planting at that time is to use
spade, pushing it deeply into the
ground and working it back and forth.
In the opening thus made spread the
the soil firmly about them with the
foot When the bed is set the soil
should be well cultivated throughout
the season The ground should not be
allowed to form crust at any time.
The runners should not be permitted
to occupy the space between the rows
This may be kept clear Of runners
and of plants as well as of weeds by
cultivation.
Some plantlets need help to burst
/, the seed-case- In many seeds having
hard and strong seed-cases, as the
walnut, butternut and hickory nut and
the pits OF the plum, peach and cherry,
the enlarging plantlet is often unable
to burst the seed-case; hence germi-
nation cannot take place unless as
sisted by the expanding power of
frost, or long exposure to moisture.

FIGHTING at PORT ARTHUR

18th along he whole line and lasted
four days, various positions changing
hands many times.
The high hill mentioned was very
important place to the Russians.
The Japanese attacked repeatedly,da
and night, finally occupying the posi-
lions on the night Of September %,
after suffering severe losses. The at
tempt to retake the hill being extreme
ly hazardous, General Stoessel refused
to issued the order, but called for vol
unteers. Everybody called upon re-
sponded, whereupon a requisite num-
Der of men were selected. Lieut..
Poggorsky and Captain Sychaff lead
ing them. Soldiers and officers alike
carried grenades explosive shells
weighing from two to six pounds
which are thrown by hand) and with
these they attacked the japanese tenn

ter from all of their positions. Sever
al mines we're exploded during the
general battle, causing severe losses
The Russians calculate that the to-
tai Japanese losses for the four days
fighting reached 10000 men.

previous report of the repulse of the
Japanese attack on Port Arthur,
which began September 10 and ended
September %. The fighting was OF
an extremely severe character. The
japanese having retired General sto-
essel issued the following proclama,
ton.
GLORY! Thanks to God! Glory to
our heroic garrison! Glory to lllman
Sychaff and Poggorsky-Heroes all.

determination of the Japanese to cap
ture this position amounted to fanat-
icism, their efforts never ceasing dur
ing four days. One battalion Of Japan
ese having retreated into a valley,
were exposed to the Russian shrapnel
ire and were almost annihilated.
Eventually the japanese succeeded in
placing one field gun and two machine
guns in position behind hastily made
barriers. Their tenure of position,
owing to the fire from the inner forts,
was very insecure and when Lieuten-
ant PoggOrsky and the volunteers
charged, the tide turned against them,
One battalion, composed of the rem
nants Of two companies, was annihi-
lated in trenches, which they refused
to desert. Another detachment was
driven into the Russian entanglements
where Captain Sychraff's force was
waiting and completed its route. Two
other attempts made by the Japanese
to retake the position failed.

what may he the severest epidemic
Of typhoid fever in its history. Not
only are the number of typhoid cases
reported for the three weeks Of Sep
TENDER ending last Saturday greater
than that of any month last year, but
since the beginning of the summer
the death rate has been so much high
er than formerly that the health de-
partment Is now thoroughly alarmed
and Is bending every effort toward
checking the disease. When 1t Is con
sldered that the spread Of typhoid last
year was greater than it has been fol
many years the gravity Of the present
situation Is indicated.
For the three weeks just ended thu

Nicholas returned to st. Petersburg
from the south and the Associated
Press, hears on very high authority,
that the appointment Of commander
ln.chief will be announced within AZ
hours. While General Kuropatkin's
friends still insist that he will be
appointed, members Of the emperor's
encourage express no doubt that
Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaievitch
will be chosen.
/. The official advices from the front
report that all is quiet along the
whole line of opposing armies. A
slight japanese movement has been
observed at Fengtiapu, about sixteen
miles southeast Of Mukden, but there
has been no collision. The war office
apparently does not anticipate fighting
on a large scale in the immediate fu'
ture. The principal cause OF alarm
at the war office is occasioned by the
lack of definite information regard
Ing the exact whereabouts OF Field
Marshal Oyamas right.
The Russian scouts have lost
touch with general Kuroh's main
army, which may give increasing i'm
portance to the fanking movement
west under General Oku which hither-
to has been regarded as feint for the
real turning movement to strike at
General Kuropatkin's line of commun-
lcation from the East. 1t also may
contain the potentiality of big sur
prise. Ten days ago, Kuropatkin and
the war office were convinced that
the Japanese were concentrating at
Sianshan and that an immediate ad-
vance was imminent in force. Ac-
cordingly the Russians fell back from
the passes of the Da mountain range
without offering resistance. But, al
ter several days they discovered that
the japanese were not pressing for
ward and thereupon Russian scouts
pushed out to ascertain the cause.
They penetrated as far as sainshan
and Siaodyr, bringing back the
startling intelligence that not more
than brigade Of Japanese troops
were there.
This forthwith was followed up by
important cavalry movement and the
reoccupation of the Da range passes,
but Kurold's main body was not locat-
ed. There were no indications, how
ever, that he had succeeded in reach
Ing a position, further eastward,
whence he could make a pivot move
ment against the railroad and conse-
uuently it was concluded that his
main force must still be between the
Yentai mines and Benishu, five miles
east of Yentai station. In word, the
present advices indicate that the
Japanese preparations are being made
more slowly than supposed.
Possibly the delay is owjnG to their
desire to take advantage CT the fine
weather to complete Their orange
ments for long winter ca'nN' ign be-
fore actively assuming the offensive.
Kuropatkins plans are carefully
guarded. While he Is disposing his
forces to take advantage of any situa-
ton that may offer, the best opinion
Is that he will not accept a general
engagement but will withdraw to Tie
Pass, where the bulk of his army is
massed,

COST OF WAR TO UNC

the United States for Waeing " =,

fare.
Few people realize the amount or
money which has been expended by
the United States government in car
rying on its war with Spain and the
attendant fighting in the Philippines
From the beginning of the Spanish
American conflict to the end of the
present fiscal year, June 80, 1904, ac-
cording to statements compiled by
Edward Atkinson for the government,
the cost of waging warfare aggre-
gates over 81 600, 00,000. Each
American citizen contributes to the
support of the forces and it costs
every individual a little over two dol
ars.
The Spanish war cost the
United States $500. 100000, large
amount of money being devoted to
pensioning veterans. Warfare in the
Philippines will, by the end of June
have cost $70O,00O,000, and as the
population of the country is about
82,000,000, nearly $1G5. 1000, 900 is an
nually paid by the people toward the
war fund.
The war taxes are laid indirectly,
every article of necessity, comfort
and luxury, such as sugar, potatoes,
fish, beer, spirits, tobacco, wood,
leather, fuel, metals and clothing be-
ing subject to the duty.

st. Louis, July S.-The democratic
national convention yesterday adopt
ed the report of the committees on
rules, credentials and permanent or
ganiZation. The session opened at 10
o'clock, an hour later took a recess
until , p. m. and adjourned at G:2O
until 10 o'clock to-day. During the
day several speeches were made,
chief of which was William Jennings
Bryan's effort 10 overthrow the report
OF the credentials committee and seat
contesting delegates from Illinois.
The controversy was ended by the re-
lection of the minority report of the
committee by a vote of G47 nays to
299 nays.
Though Mr.. Bryan's speech and his
appearance on the floor of the con
vention was cheered far beyond any
previous demonstration, it made few
votes. The alignment of delegates
proved the correctness of previous
estimates of the division between
those who favor the radicals and
those who are supporting the conserv-
ative element which is now in control
When the result of the contest was
announced the report of the com
mittee on permanent organization
was made. Representative Champ
Clark, who was chosen permanent
chairman, addressed the convention.
He had prepared and furnished to the
press a speech OF great length. The
hour was so late when he gained the
platform, however, that he spoke
about 800 words and left his audience
to read the remainder.
