Walter Adams Lost an Ear,
Coventry Woman's S Club Meet.
Fire Alarm at CentrevllIe.

Yesterday while Walter Adams. who is
employed by Daniel Booth OF Crompton,
was working about the place as usual he
met with q painful accident Adams was
engaged In hauling corn fodder from a
pasture 10 the barn in the rear OF the
Booth hotel and had arrived with load
and was getting the cart I'm position to
put the material into the barn on the sec
ond floor. To get into a position to easily
handle the fodder he drove the horse un-
der the second floor into an open court.
the opening upstairs being directly
above Adams was sitting on top OF the
load at the time and intended TO drive
only partly under the building s the
second floor came very nearly on line
with the top or the load. For some rea-
con the horses refused TO stop when the
desired position had been reached but
continued on. Seeing his danger Adams
leaned back on the load but the flooring
scraped across him and the buttons OF
his coat were torn of. Realizing his dan
ger then he turned his head which WAS
fortunate thing even considering the re-
suits, for had he not he would probably
have struck his chin on the heavy beams
and the injuries he received would have
been worse. and an IL was. the overhang-
ing timbcrs scraped along the side OF his
head and literally tore the member from
its natural position. DIR. J. A. Mack WIS
called and FASTENED to the injured man as
rapidly az possible. Adams had the olsen
gagged ear IN his handkerchief and wanted
IL replaced. but the doctor considered such
a proceeding impossible although he
dressed the wound and made tho patient
as comfortable as possible.

INTERESTING LECTURE.
Prof. Albert D. Mead on "The Habits and
Life History Of The Lobster"

Prof Albert u. Mead OF Brown unIver-
sity delivered an interesting and instruct
I've lecture at the rooms OF the Provi-
dence Franklin society on Tuesday upon
the subject Habits and Life History Of
the Lobster" In part he said:
"Lobsters produce immense numbers OF
eggs, from 5000 to 81, 900 per year. The
eggs are carried by the females for sew
eral months on the outside Of the under
part Of the shells, and are deposited dur
ing June. The young. after Matching.
undergo wonderful transformations. max
Ing three or four changes In the first 81
days OF life. When first hatched they
are free swimming creatures, eating
whatever food comes to them. but seek
ing none. 1t is not until the fourth stage
that they assume the outward appear
ance OF the lobster.
The habitat OF the American lobster
Is from Labrador TO MAryiand-a range
about 100 miles wide and 1000 miles long
Some idea may be had OF the Importance
of the lobster industry from the fact
that more than g.. 900 900 worth were
caught In the state OF Maine last year
and there were 1000 worth imported
from Nova Scotia 10 the city OF Provi-
dence during the same period.
Experiments with artificial propaga-
tion OF Holsters have been carried on
for a number Of years by state and ma
tional governments. The most success
fil experiments have been carried on by
the commissioners Of inland fisheries for
Rhode Island at WEXFORD. the house boat.
constructed after the ideas Of DIR. Bum
pus, affording the most practical means
OF observing and caring for the young
Holsters yet known. The experimentcrs
at WEXFORD have succeeded IN raising is
per cent. Of the young TO the fourth stage.
by all means the largest percentage yet
attained AZ any experiment station IN
any country They release about 10000
lob-iers which have attained the fourth
stage each year"

AT BROWN.

One OF the most interesting addresses in
tho course OF vesper services at Brown
University was delivered 20 large and
highly apreciative audience In sayles

speaker being an eminent New York d.
vine. Rev. William s. Rainsford. ID. D..
pastor OF ct. Georges church. that city.
for moro than % years. He was educated
at Cambridge University. England, al
though born In ireland and his congrege-
ton is said 20 be ths largest from an
Episcopal standpoint I'm the metropolis
He founded the parish house system In
this country and Is an author OF acknowi-
edged ability, his numerous books re-
cefvins broad circulation on both sides OF
the water
He believes IN adopting Christianity to
every day life and regards the Bible as
"a wonderful book full OF poetry. beauty
and unchristisnity."
In opening he stated that men not only
demand the demands Of Jesus but in ad-
dition the demands OF other ages Too Of
ten there IL a distortion and misstatement
OF the claims OF Jesus There are multi
tudes OF men today who would like TO be
ChristianA but fear then cannot be be-
cause the teachings Of Christ are too holy
to be practicable. But Jesus depended for
the development OF religion and strength
OF the Kingdom OF heaven on one thing
something IN simple as mans testimony
to man. Jesus gathered about Himself the
most ignorant people. who knew nothing
OF the Dogma OF the Trinity and other
dogmas that later ages established He
said that the people who followed Him,
who believed In His Father. and that His
Father was like Himself, were sought,
leavened and iightened. jesus said this 10
plain, simple men. Just such as are found
today on the rounds or on the streets OF
the city Jesus also said that the world
was Gods world Jesus did not teach that
the Kingdom OF God was In the future,
but in the present
1--WE can't believe in a God that saves
only few who can have a certain concep-
don of Jesus Christ" declared the
speaker. who is as eloquent as he Is dis
tnguished. and he next called attention
to the three stages I'm Christian develop
ment and three beliefs as to the world.
The first OF these is that the world Is all
wrong. Those who believe so had best get
out OF H.
The second belief IL that this world sell
right. People who think this way come 10
you with a milk and water philosophy and
say that everything will come out right
Neither Of these views n the teachings OF
Christ Jesus says that the world is not
immoral, but immoral. and that God In
HIS infnite mercy has placed US in this
world TO play the part OF God.
The cure for worldliness - not hifalutin
mysticism, In not by any hypocritical at
tempt 10 live His life. for such an attempt
must he hypocriticsl, but for each one 10
live 10 the best Of his ability his own life.

KANSAS CITY MARKETS
A Review of Prices and Conditions of
 the Past Week.

Kansas City. Sept. 25.-AIthough cattle receipts here and elsewhere were the largest of the season last week. .an classes of killing stuff sold 10 to % cents higher during the week and trade was active every day. Stock and feeding cattle sold I5 10 90 cents lower, most of the loss being on light stock CTS and stock calves. The yards were well cleared at the close of the week, fortunately, as we have 25.OGO fresh cattle here, with heavy runs at all the markets. Of course. although the mar ket is in shape to handle big runs. which are expected, it was hardly equal to the task yesterday and the prices are of 10 to 15 cents on all but the best kinds. geo to 1000 pound Colo rado steers, Old Mexicos, are selling at S3-20d3.35. 1C00 to 105Cfb native Colo rados at $3.30G3.50, 1IC0 to 12OJib steers at $3.4OG3.75, cows and heifers at g. .35 63.25. canneIs S2.20 down. the latter a little better than be Core the strike. Prime corn fed beef steers gained 20 to 90 cents last week, which encourag- ed feeder buyers, who bought the large supply at steady to 15 cents lower than the previous week, but stock cattle were neglected till the last of the week. and until the prices got right, when plenty of buyers put in appearance and cleaned up the supply. Prices ranged from s250 to S3.75. Those acquainted with range conditions do not look for much change on western and panhan- dle cattle the balance of the season. Western sheep and lambs made up nearly all of the 33,7OO head that came in last week. Killers took the lambs at 10 to 15 cents lower prices, but sheep were steady, feeding sheep strong. The run yesterday was 10,0 900 l head, market on sheep steady. lambs 10 cents lower. There has been very
 little change in price Of shep and year
 lings for two or three weeks. year lings selling at S360 to S3.S9. wethers

pjeror has appointed General Grippen- berg. commanding the troops at Wilma, to command the second Manchurian army. Grippenberg succeeds Lieuten- ant General LienVitch.
 The emperor sent the following tel egraph letter to General Grippenberg: The intense energy with which Japan is conducting the war and the stub bOrnness and high warlike qualities displayed by the Japanese impel me to considerably strengthen the forces at the front in order to attain decisive success in the shortest possible time. Since by this increase the units would reach a figure making their continu- ance in one army impossible without prejudice to the proper direction, ma neuvering and mobility of the troops, 1 have found it necessary to divide the active forces in Manchuria into two armies, leaving one in the hands of General Kuropatkin. 1 appoint you Jo command the second army. Your many years of service in warlike exploits and your experience in training troops as sure me that you. following the general directions of the commander in chiel will be successful and lead to the at- tainments of the objects of war, this army is enthusted to you"
Arizona republican., 1904-09-26

With the purpose or forcing the war with the Japanese to a speedy termi- nation the emperor of Eussia has talk en steps to recrganize and reinforce the fighting force in the far east. A sec ond army is to be created under the command of General Grippenberg, a veteran of many wars, and it is ex- pccted that within q comparatively short time there will be armies aggre- gating GOO, eco or 100000 men reatly to take the aggressive against the Japan ese. It is believed that Grand Duke Nicholas Michaelovitch will be made commander in chief of the Russian armies in the far east, with a soldier of more varied experience as his chief of staff
 At Mukden it is believed that the Japanese will not make a frontal at tack upon that city, but will seek to engage the Russians north or north west of there, that purpose being in dicated by strategic reasons as well as
