Of unusual interest. The special exercises

THE FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY,

The free public library is not on the
same footing with the municipal band
concert. 1t serves higher purpose
than that of furnishing the commun-
ity with diversion and entertainment.
1t is something more than clearing
house for recent fiction. The library
is-or ought to bean educational in
stitution. 1t is possible for the free
public library to be quite as important
an educational force in the community
as the schools are. Indeed the library
and the school need each other. Neither
can do its best work without the others
aid. TIE right sort of librarian is the
indispensable ally of the right sort of
teacher But perhaps the most i'm
portant educational work of the public
library is not among the school chill
dren. 1t is among the boys and girls
who have had to leave school and be-
gin earning living. 1t is among the
men and women who for one reason or
another missed the advantages of the
schools. Some one-perhaps President
Eliot-has said that reading is the key
that unlocks all knowledge; that no
body who has formed the reading habit
is likely to remain permanently unedu-
Gated The free public library is d col
lege--a university rather-for all the
people.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WABASH, Ind. Feb. ga severe thun-
der and hailstorm visited Wabash this
morning and heavy rain prevailed for
several hours. Lightning struck the dou-
BILE residence of Samuel Harsh on West
Main street knocking off the chimney and
tearing UP the roof and ceilings as il de-
scended, but injuring no one. The barn of
ex-Commissioner Ford, west of the city,
was also struck and one end torn out,
steer killed and two horses knocked down.
The hailstorm, which prevailed imme-
diately after the rain, was one of the Sc
verest ever witnessed in this part of the
State. The stones were an inch in diameter
and literally riddled the greenhouses of the
Wabash Floral Company. The loss on glass
alone is more than $1,000, and on plants and
flowers, many of them rare, $1,000 more
Not pane was left intact.
Streams in this locality are on the ram
page again and the Wabash river is flood
ing the lowlands. No cars have been run
into the business district of Wabash since
$50 O'Clock this morning. the tracks at
the Big Four Railway bridge being six feet
under water.

RUSSIA IS UNMOVED

ST. PETERSBURG. Feb. 2.-The Bourse
Gazette says: There is no nsed for alarm
over the blockade of Port Arthur. The
war will not end until not a single Jap
anese is left alive in Korea. The successes
of the Russian arms will reassert the in
ternational laws defed by London and
Washington, which have recognized Ja-
pans subjugation of neutral Korea"

ment to issue patriotic stamps. the pro-
ceeds of which shall go TO strengthen the

GEN. STOESSEL URGES
TENACIOUS RESISTANCE

PORT ARTHUR, Sunday, Feb. 2S.-Gen-
eral Stoessel, commander of the garrison
here. has issued a general order directing
the attention of the troops and inhabitants
TO the fact that the japanese intend to land
and seize the fortress. The general de-
clareS the Japanese consider the seizure of
Port Arthur to be Il question of national
honor, and from their obstinate attacks
and bombardments of the fortress and bays
he can only conclude that the enemy will
make every effort to capture the fortress,
failing which the japanese will destroy the
railroad and withdraw.
THE enemy, however" proceeds the gen.
eral order, lis mistaken. Our troops know
and the inhabitants are herewith informed
by me that will not yield. We must
fight TO the finish, as l, the commander,
will never give an order to surrender.
bring this to the notice of those less dar-
ing and call on all to become convinced of
the necessity of lighting to the death. Those
who leave without lighting will not save
themselves. There is no way out. On three
sides there is the sea, and on the fourth
will be the enemy. There is no means of
escape except by fighting"
Notwithstanding the heavy gale which is
blowing. the lights of japanese scouting

JAPANESE FOLLOWED
THEIR USUAL PLAN

LONDON, March 1.-The pause in the
war operations in the far East has been
broken by another japanese attack on
Port Arthur. of which only brief account
is yet to hand. This report. however, shows
a repetition of the now familiar tactics of
Japan, and it is presumed that this at
tack was made in bad weather. previous
telegraphic advices having reported a Sc
we're gale raging at Port Arthur AS usual,
the Japanese did not remain long enough
off the harbor to enable the gunners at
the forts TO get their range. Again, also,
the same three cruisers. the Bayan, the
Askold and the Novik. went out to meet
the attack and this suggests that either
they were the only effective ships there or
that the harbor battleships were unable
to get out.
No news is published here to-day of op-
erations or movements other than at Port
Arthur. The Shanghai correspondent of
the Daily Express says it has been officially
announced that the Japanese mail boat
service between Shanghai and Japan will
be resumed on Saturday, without naval es-
cort
Many alleged dispositions of the opposing
military forces are published this morning.
but they differ too much in detail to be of
any great value. According TO a report
from ST. Petersburg a body of Cossacks
from the south Ussuri province. with quick
firing guns, is advancing along the east
coast of Korea to prevent the landing Of
the main japanese army, and the comment
is made that possibly the reported Jap
anese landing at Possiet bay may have
been made with the intention of attacking
this force

Chronicle says the Russians are transferring

attempt to bottle UP Port Arthur.

REPORT OF BLOCKADE
PROBABLY IS TRUE

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 29-Direct con-
frmatlon of the report from Hakodate that
Vladivostok is blockaded by the japanese
considered not improbable. During the Jap
anese landing operations in Korea the Rus
sian warships TO the north were constant
menace. and blockading them would be the
most effective means of securing noninter-
ference. Furthermore, il is worthy OF note
that for more than one week no word has
been allowed to come from Tladvostok and
this in itself seems strong presumptive evil
dence that important events are transpir-
ing.
The report from Liao-Yang. Manchuria.
that the Japanese fleet has received orders
to attack and capture Port Arthur on
March !. at all costs. coupled with the
comparison of Port Arthur and Sevastopol
made by the Novoe Vremya, has created
a profound impression and has added to
the belief that the japanese possibly intend
to begin land and sea operations against
Port Arthur sooner than was anticipated.
The family of foreigner employed at
Port Dalny arrived here yesterday. having
made the trip in eighteen days. One Of
the members said 10 the correspondent OF
the Associated Press:
''The day after the outbreak of hostili-
ties the authorities ordered all noncom-
batants to leave Port Dalny in order to
have as few mouths as possible TO feed in
the event of a siege.
IF the Japanese invest Port Arthur there
were enough provisions when L left to last

stream of troop trains going east
