latest attack upon Port Arthur were
received here last night. and are all 10

Russian fortress was in progress for
the greater part Of the day yesterday.
From the most accurate reports OBJ

are conducting the attack with fierce

interpreted IN the light Of a determine
ton, this time. 70 accomplish the fall Of
the Russian stronghold.
Attack From All Points.
The assault on the forts is being made
from practically all the vantage points
captured by the japanese forces
throughout the recent fighting before
the fortress. All three branches OF the
japanese siege army are reported to
throughout the day
The various reports are agreed that
the Japanese disregard OF human life is
being exemplifed in the attack as Il has
not been before since the war with
Russia began.
1t Is stated that the casualties result
ing from what is confidently believed 20
be the final attack upon Port Arthur
will be the heaviest thus far OF the war
for the japanese. but It Is apparent that
this is hardly being considered by the
japanese commanders. They are de-
termined that TIE siege OF Port Arthur
is TO come 10 an end. and that now. and
the cost OF the achievement in human
life Is not being considered
Fearful Shell Fine.
Reports as TO the havoc being done
within the fortress OF Port Arthur by
the japanese shell fire and the casual
ties TO the Russians resultant from tie
assault of the japanese forces, are
meager in the extreme.
II Is stated. however. that the Russian
commander. General StoesseI. is aware
that the Japanese have determined to
accomplish the destruction of the Rus

Combined Assault.
When this combined assault viii be
made is a matter OF conjecture but
that II must come not later than today.
and very likely just before dawn. IS the
general opinion in ChefOo.
Indeed. all Chefoo believes that today
will see the long rumored fall Of Port
Arthur. The excitement among the Jap
anese here has become intense. and they
have arranged to celebrate the end of
the Russian key 10 the Liao-Tung Pen

For viee-Prenident:

The republican conventions of this
state have unanimously endorsed the
faithful record of Senator Stephen B.
Elkins. and have, with one accord
ning-mate on the national ticket with
that courageous statesman-Theodore
Roosevelt. This was not done be-
cause the republicans esteem him as a
senator, but because he is one of the
greatest men in the political arena
today. His long service in COVER
mental affairs has given him promi.
hence throughout the entire country.
In looking over the names of those
who are spoken of as being good men
from whom could be selected man
fitted to fill the pace of vice. presi-
dent, one speedily recognizes that no
name carries with it more force and
lofty sentiments than the name OF
Stephen B. Elkins. Indeed, it would
not be saying too much that he is
perfectly capable of filling the presi.
dental chair with cN dit to himself
and honor to the nation. Everywhere
he is known as a man of exceptional
ability, and men who are many years
his senior do not hesitate to learn
from his wise teachings. Public Off.
cials recognize in him a strong man
intellectually, and predict that the
future holds in store for him honors
that few men have attained.
West Virginia is to be congratulated
for having such noble son one who
stands for all that is pure and good
The people could make no mistake in
selecting him as the nominee for vice
president. His name would greatly
strengthen the ticket in every state In
this union, thereby assuring republi.
can victory. Therefore, Stephen b.
Elkins is the most available man in
public life for vice president, and by
all means he should be honored with
the nomination.

A Noble Cause.

The firemen's celebration which is
to be held at this place May, 5, G and

events ever given in this city. More
than five thousand visitors are ex-
pected to attend beside great mum.

cities. Every citizen of this town
should freely contribute to such a
noble cause, for these kind of gather
ings go long ways towards giving
our city Drominence as splendid
business center. No man who expects
to reap any benefit whatever fnan-
cially from this celebration should
hesitate minute in helping the boys
prepare for this occasion,
The safety of our CITY depends upon
these brave fremen, who frequently
risk their lives in order to protect
property while many of us are asleep.
Nothing is too hazardous for them to
do. They would fight the flames
until they fall exhausted rather than
fail in their duly. Such heroism
should be rewarded. Then, when they
ask for financial aid no man has a
right to refuse to give them something
Let everv one endeavor to make this

Saturday Is REPUTATION Of the
charges laid against Kim Of not bang
an impartial judge. His honor aud
integrity is of too long standing TO
sven be questioned at this stage of
his successful cafeer. No man in this
state regards truth and justice in q
higher degree than Judge Faulkner,
and we do not hesitatesto say THAT all
his Official acts, no matter how SEEM
ingly unjust they may appear to a
prejudicial eye, vet, when they are
thoroughly understood they CORES
pond to legal principles of long stand
ing.
IL is well known fact that this
paper differs from the venerable
Judge in politics, bat we are proud,
nevertheless, to say word in his
behalf because his actions merit the
admiration of every citizen within
this judicial district.
A judge should be.a man of broad
minded views, learned in the law,
unprejudiced, studious; always ready
to decide on the side of justice. In
the person of Judge.Fanlkner is found
all these characteristics. For these
reasons alone we are glad that his
party stood by him so faithfully at
the primary.

stormy will soon disappear, leaving
the horizon Of republicanism as clear
and beautiful as ever.
Viewing the events Of the last two
or three weeks one, however. would
naturally suppose that our party was
in danger OF being defeated at the
coming election. But, isn't it plausi-
BILE that men have perfect right 70
contend for the interest of all individ-
ual before the convention decides who
.be fortunate candidate is? Is 1t not a
coveted honor to be governor OF any
state? Therefore, who CEN attach
.Ilame to q man having such aspira-
tions? Up to this time nothing has
been done to cause a single person not
TO support his ticket. Every one
should remember that he votes for
principles, not men, and that the par
ty is bigger than any man. And II he
keeps this fact constantly In view no
contention need be raised.
There is no reason why the demo
Gratis should exult at the disruption in
the republican party, for they shall
never again control tho political af-
fairs Of this state. They have met
their Waterloo, and suffered huniiliat
ing defeat The discord that has pre-
vailed among the leaders Of our party
will soon be thing of the past, and
those good democrats who are now
rejoicing over existing circumstances
will, nevertheless, see the entire re-
publican ticket in this state elected
hy a handsome majority.

Nom,n.s. Good Men for President.

1t is evident how that Judge Parker
will be the democrat nominee for
president, New York having instruct
ed its entire delegation to vote as a
unit for him in the national conven-
ton. From the reputation he bears
he is man of strong personality,
honorable, and in every sense of the
word capable of being at the head of
this nation should the American
people decide he is the right man for
the place.
We, as nation, have grown too
strong morally to permit man to
become president who does not regard
integrity and honor as the chief at
tributes of his life. The highest
office in the gift of the people must
surely be be filled by man who is
willing, If need be, to sacrifice his life
for truth and justice. Such an ex-
ample was found In the life and char
aoter of the much lamented Mckinley,
who was loved by all conditions of
humanity, In him was found sym.
pathy for the humble and kind words
for all those with whom he came in
Contact.
President Roosevelt is also loved
and respected by the great mass of
the people. His bold and courageous
disposition peculiarally fits him to
easily withstand the epithets OF those
who make attacks upon his present
administration. He does not hesitate
to do things as he sees they should be
done, regardless of any ones advice
His character has never been assailed,
and any attempt to charge hitn with
Corruption of any kind would soon
meet with dire disaster.
With such noble men as Judge
Parker and Theodore Roosevelt
gracing the head of the tickets of the
two great political parties, no one
need feel that our government Ia in
peril il either man is at the helm.
