Another great battle has occurred

have been completely victorious.
The aggregate losses are said to have
reached 10000 and though this IL
probably an exaggeration, there Is
little doubt that this will have a
place among the most sanguinary bat
ties Of history. The Russians fought
with the the utmost bravery, bat the
results Of the battle prove that the

They are fieroer and faster fighters

NO VOTE ON PROHIBITION
Petition Filed Fails 10 Meet
Requirements.

Josephine county will not vote t. il
year on the prohibition issue, as has
been expected sinoo the passage Of the
local option law last June. The next
election at which the question may
again be raised will be In June 1906
The reason that the question will
not be voted upon at the coming
election il that the preliminary re-
quirements were not complied with
accurately enough to meet the de-
mands Of the law.
The friends OF prohibition circu-
lated petition and supposed that
they had secured enough names to
have n vote on the question, 10 per
cent or the votes cast at the last
election being required to. secure this
result. The petition bore over 200
names and the required number was
1884. On checking up the names,
however, II was found that many of
them either were not registered voters
or had registered In precincts other
than tb ose designated on the poti.
tion. These names would not pass
under the law and oonse-
quently had to be stricken off. which
so depleted the petition that it fell
below the required number some FIVE
names. There being no time to cir
,ulate a second petition. the saloon
question in Josephine county was ta-
