In every walk OF life there are
three kinds OF men: the man who

mind a picture OF what he wants.
but who never quite trains his
constructive faculties to the task
OF doing the thing. Such men
arc like the artist who loved

Then there il the man who
knows nothing more about ANY,

Finally, comes the more per-
fec. man, who has studied the
theory of the thing, the laws and
principles tina, govern il. IA best
he can, and besides has tried 10
learn the bes: way OF doing il.
The effort and purpose OF all
the agricultural agitation and
education we c going on nova
days, is to produce Tor farm

can be truly practical unless he
knows the theory as we'll as the
practice of things.

END OF THE STRIKE
IS NOW IN SIGHT
Will Possibly Be Called Off Within
Twenty-Four Hours.
NEGOTIATIONS UNDER WAY
IL Packers Give Satisfactory Assure
ances to the Unions, Ia Whole
Affair Will Be Immediately
Settled Between Them.

Chicago, Sept. 6.-The indications
Monday night were that the stock yards
strike, begun two months ago, will be
called off within "a hours. Through
the medium of a middleman, negotia-
tions were begun Monday in an effort
to secure an understanding with the
packers, on which the striking unions
a rely as a basis for abandoning the
strike Tuesday afternoon. 1t was adj
mitted by Secretary Tracy of the AL
lied Trades council of the unions on
strike, that a message opening up such
negotiations had been delivered to
representatives of the packing firms
by w. E. Skinner, general agent of the
Union Stock Yards & Transit Co., act.
ing as a middleman.
According to the plans, an answer is
to be submitted Tuesday by the pack
ers in time for 1t to be reported at
a special meeting of the Allied Trades
council. This meeting has been called
for early in the forenoon. Special
meetings for all the local unions in.
volved in the strike have been called
for Tuesday. If the packers give en-.
couraging assurances to the strikers,
messengers will be sent at once to the
gatherings of the local bodies. The
unions, it is said, will then vote on
disseminating the strike, and their ref.
erendum vote will be reported at nee
to the meeting of the Allied Trades
council.

OYAMA SAYS LAO
YANG HAS FALLEN
The Japanese Are Now in Com
plete Possession.
CESSATION Of FIERCE FIGHTING
1t is Reported in st. Petersburg
That kurUpntkin Has Arrived at
TiehIing, Which 1T Eighteen
Miles South of Mukden.

The only direct news from the seat
of war bearing Sundays date came by
way of Toxic, in a report from Field
Marshal Oyama, saying that Lao Yang
fell completely in the hands of the
Japanese at nine o'clock that morn
ing; that the Japanese casualties were
believed TO be heavy, and that moth
ing was known by the Japanese con-
corning conditions on the right bank of
the Taitse river.
The only comfort for the Russians
at home was the news conveyed
in a dispatch from Kuropatkin, dated
Saturday afternoon, that Gen. Stakel-
berg's first Siberian army corps of 25,-
600 men, reported Saturday as having
been cut off to the westward of Lao
Yang, had been safely e%xtricated, and
that the corps has succeeded in join
ing the main Russian body on the
right bank Of the river, but no details
of the escape of Stakelberg are known.
Gen. Kuropatkin also reported that
the greater portion of his army was,
at the time of filing the report, south
Of Yentai (ten miles northeast of Lao
Yangs), and a few miles from the Ken
tai mines, where fierce fighting had
been in progress. 1t is indicated that
there has been a cessation of the
fierce fighting. Kuropatkin reports that
his men were not being much interfered
with by the Japanese in the neighbor-
hood of his army. '
In st. Petersburg, the absence of
news is looked upon as heightening
the gravity of the situation for the
Russians.
1t was reported in st. Petersburg,
Sunday might, that Kuropatkin had
arrived at Tiehling, which is ten miles
north of Yentai, and Is miles south of
Mukden.

sence of state Senator Orchard, :
Wanted as n Witness.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Sept. Gin the
circuit court, Monday, Judge Graves, OF
Butler, continued the case of State
Senator Frank H. Farris, charged with
bribery in connection with the baking
powder scandal in the state Legislature,
until Monday, December Is, The case
was continued on the application of the
defendant on account of the absence OF
Former Senator James Orchard, who
had been ordered at the former trial to
appear as a witness. Senator Orchard
was chairman of the senate committee
to which the so-called "alum' bill was
referred in the legislature of 1899, when
Senator Farris was indicted on the
charge of accepting a bride Of $1,0GC
to defeat it. His evidence was ma
terial to the defendant, since he de,
MED on a former trial that any at,
tempts were made to defeat the bill
with his knowledge.
Judge Graves ordered an attachment
issued for Senator Orchard, and he
will be arrested and held to appear on
December 10. He is reported to be in
the state of Arkansas. The case
against Senator Charles A. Smith,
which was to have followed the Farris
case, was reset for December 81.

ALL TOXIC REJOTCES.


PopuInce MadIy Cheer the Exploits
OF Field Marshal Oyama.
Toxic, Sept. 5.-Beyond Field Mar
shal Oyama's dispatch reporting the
occupation of Liao Yang, and the COM
mencement of Gen. Kuroki's turning
movement against the Russian left,
nothing further concerning the battle
of Lao Yang had reached Toxic Sun
day. Neither the number Of Russians
who succeeded in escaping nor the
number encompassed by Gen. Kuroki's
turning movement is known here. The
severity Of the Russian defeat hinges
largely Oh Kuroki's movement. If
successful, the number of Russian
prisoners will be large. The meager
reports received indicate that the SOL
diers of both armies went to the limit
of human endurance and suffered ter
ribly. 1t was impossible constantly to
supply them with food and water, and
the men have fought for days past,
starving and parched with thirst.
Although full details are lacking, the
duration of the fighting, he numbers
engaged, and the losses sc far reported,
indicate that Lao Yang will prove to
be one of the greatest battles of his
tory.
The dispatch received from Field
Marshal Oyama announcing the fall
of Lao Yang had the effect of cheering
all of the subjects of the Mikado.
Throughout the rejoicings here, fol-
lowing the early successes of Japanese
arms at Lao Yang, the more thought
full people feared the results of the ex-
posture to which the right wing of Gen.
Kuroki's army was subjected, and it
was held possible that the strength Of
the Lao Yang Notifications would per-
init the withdrawal of the bulk of the
Russian forces there. Even now there
is doubt concerning the number of Rus
SLAMS who have escaped, but there is
no doubt about the character of the
victory at Lao Yang.
Toxic is brilliantly illuminated, and
joyful crowds parade the streets,
cheering the exploits of Field Marshall
Oyama and Generals Oku and Nodzu.

Had Lao Yang been abandoned with
out a fight, the public at least would
have looked forward patiently to a de-
cisiye stand at Mukden, but after a
desperate battle, with victory for the
instant apparently in sight, to find
Lao Yang abandoned, its immense
stores captured or destroyed, and the
retreat continued under the most adj
verse conditions, seyere.t tries public
confidence in the commander-in-chief.
At this hour even, the authorities
know little more than what has al
ready been given to the public. There
is still much doubt as to whether KU-
ropatkin is continuing his retreat, or
whether indeed he has been able to do
SO, but the public, so far, is not aware
of Gen. S~takelberg's narrow escape
from being cut off.
The situation, as 1t is known to date,
is that the Russian army is south Of
the branch railway connecting Yentai
station, ten miles east of Lao Yang,
with the Yentai mines, where fierce
fighting has been in progress.
Actual fighting seems to have been
suspended for the moment. the armies
resting after their terrific .rI contip-
uous exertions of the past ten days,
the longest single battle in history,
and it will depend upon their respec-
tive recuperative powers as to which
will first be able to resume activity.
