Russia
Will Have Difficultyin Feeding
Her Army.

Vienna, Feb. .I6.-Knowing that the
Siberian railway could not convey
the necessary supplies to Manchuria
and Vladivostok, Russia ordered at
Christmas time large quantities of
provisions in America for delivery in
San Francisco January %, January
% and February Z. The greater part
OF these provisions have not reached
the Russian harbors and may serve
to support the Japanese navy.
The question of supplies will be all

correspondent. Much indispensable

saw and sent to the Far East and al
other provisions were to come from
America or from Odessa by sea.
Every thing that was left in the
Black sea after New Years is un.
likely to reach its destination.
For this reason the provisioning OF
the army in the Far East is causing
great anxiety, as nothing can be OBJ,
tanned there in the winter, not even
forage for the horses. Even were
the Siberian railway in perfect order
it would not suffice to carry the food
for from $50, 600 to lsO,OOOmen. How
ever, the line is now Obstructed by
trains carrying rails, sleepers and
building material and the matter of
supplies is said to be causing great
anxiety.

AFTER the defeat of the Russian
fleets at Port Arthur and Chemulpo,
Russia admitted that she had been
caught unprepared on the sea, but it
was said that a large Russian army

their defeat on the sea- To-day we

Preparing Reply to Hay.

St. Petersburg, February l7.-Rus-
sia's reply to Secretary Hays note
on China probably will be made in a
few days. It will acquiesce in prin-
ciple, but with certain reservations
regarding Chinese administrative
control over the region in Manchuria
leased to Russia or covered by the
Chinese Eastern -ailroad, in order to
safeguard existing Russia interests.
Russia has not yet given permission
for any military attaches to join the
Russian army in the field. The de

5000 Japanese Spies.

The Japanese have been preparing
for several years for the struggle
that Russia was forcing on them and
seem to have been pretty thorough
about II. Three thousand of her
trusty soldiers were sent out as spies
and worked as laborers on the build
ing of the Russian railroad. They
dressed as Chinese, talked Chinese.
and hired out as Chinese, and know
every foot of the railroad and every
bridge and culvert for a thousand
miles west. They know every spot
where forage and supplies can be ex-
pected, and are familiar with the
vast wastes where the road has to be
guarded and is open to attack, and
we predict that Russia will have
more than she can do to supply hel
army by her single line of railroad
The loss of control on the sea, nearly
means defeat for Russia.

Yes, August Flower still has the largest sale
OF any medicine in the civilized world. Your
mothers and grAndmothers never thought OF
using anything else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce. and they seldom
heard OF Appendicitis. Nervous Prostration
or Heart Failure, etc. They used August
Flower to clean out the system and stop
fermentation OF undigested food. regulate
the action Of the liver, stimulate the nervous
and organic action OF the system. and that is
all they took when feeling dull and bad with

A BILL has been introduced into the
legislature to allow of the piking of
county roads, on petition of the mai
ority of owners of land that fronts
on the road. The improvement is to
be paid for as follows: 20 per cent.

by the county and 40 per cent. by the
State. Wonder how the parties who
have paid for pixies all around their
farms in counties like Logan, would
ike this.

JAPAN OR RUSSIA?
Which Do You Sympdthize With?
And WHY?

Ninety nine men out of hundred
in Bellefontaine, yes, in America,
sympathize with Japan as against
Russia. Why Is this? Usually as be-
tween cation of the yellow race,
and one of the white race, the pre-
ponderance would be the other way.
AS between partially pagan nation
the sympathy of the American would
be with the Christian. Why then do
We find the feeling practically unam-
imous in favor of Japan Fifty years
ago Japan was a closed, Pagan coun-

to the world she has made the most
rapid progress
In the past thirty years her pro-
gress has been marvellous. Her

"McCutcheon pictured Roosevelt as a

Roosevelt as the rough rider, and he
