Alfred Edwards was in Pleasant
Springs helping at threshing one day
last week. As is usual when novices try
to work, something goes wrong. His
| fork left the handle socket, went into
| the cylinder and came out through the
straw blower looking like multiplied
barb wire fence, but not part of it
broken. The strangest of it all was that
not tooth in the cylinder was bent or
broken. Edwards now uses the incident
| in arguing for the wonderful strength
and endurance OF the particular thresh-
ing machine he sells. Maybe it was a
put up job.

Tne Back Porch Sanitarium.

Ninetyeight per cent Of those who
have tuberculosis of the lungs, if they
get well at all, will have to do so at
home, but not ''by the fireslde.' Even
in tenement houses people have made
good recoveries, but it has been by
lying under a wide open window all
day long and all night long, by extra
feeding, by rest and by good courage.
There are wondrous possibilities on
back porches and in sheltered hooks.

Russia Anxious About the SmOiensk.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 80 - The
anxiety of the Russian government to
prevent another Smolensk incident is
shown in the fact that, not content
with the arrangement entered into
with Great Britain to send warship
from Cape Colony in search Of the
cruiser, it has asked France and Portu-
gal, in case the ship should put into
an African port belonging to either
country, to deliver the orders recalling
her from operations on the high seas.

SITUATION AT PORT ARTHUR
Japs 1000 Yards from the New Town
Main Lines Penetrated.

Main Lines Penetrated.
London, Aug. 29.-The correspondent
at Tien-Tsin of The Standard, cabling
Saturday afternoon, says: "Confirma-
tory details just arrived represent the
Japanese as having reached a point
within 1000 yards of the new town
at Port Arthur on the west side and
as being within mile of the east dock
basin on the east side The correspond
ent says that the attempt to attack the
forts from the outside has been aban-
doned. The Japanese having pene-
trated the main lines both to the west
ward and the eastward will advance
from the north, with view of as
saulting the forts from the inside. The
correspondent adds that owing to the
extensive mine area the cooperation
of the fleet is difficult.
The Daily Nails Kobe corresponds
ent in dispatch dated Saturday last
says: "Following is the position of
Port Arthur: The Japanese have capt
ured all the outlying fortications, but
the Russians still hold the citadel on
Antseshan, Golden hill forts and the
forts on Tigers Tail and Liaoti noun
tain. The Japanese are in possession
of the parade ground and barracks un-
der the Antseshan fort On the out
skirts.
''The fall of Port Arthur is believed
to be imminent. 1t is believed that the
garrison will make a desperate sortie
before the end comes"

Defense Almost Imp0ssibIe.

Toxic, Aug 3O.-The Russians are
concentrating at Lao Yang, either
with the intention Of giving a general
battle or retiring. They were beaten
at Lungtushan and retreated from An

was the strongest defense Lao Yang
possessed, and it's loss renders defense
almost impossible. 1t is believed here
that General Kuropatkin, cannot now
avoid a fight and crushing defeat.

men is at bay at Liao Yang One aft
err another his six army corps lave
been pounded. shattered, fanked, and
defeated. He lost nearly 1000 in the
fighting on his east and south fronts
on Friday and Saturday. His retreat
cost him a thousand more. General
Routkovsky, Col Won Raaben, and
many Of his officers have been killed.
Practically his entire army, driven
in from all sides, is on the great plain
of Lao Yang awaiting the shock of
the battle that may decide the cam
paign as far as this seasons fighting Is
concerned. 1t is possible that a great
battle is even now proceeding, and
there are many indications that such
is the case. If this is so, the fate of
this years campaign may be settled
within forty eight hours. Opinion is
almost equally divided, many believ-
ing that General Kuropatkin will not
make a determined stand and that the
Japanese will crack the shell only to
find that the bird has flown.
