farmer residing near Maxwell, has
brought suit against Walter Hoch.
stetler, former employee, for the non

sent July 10 and that he has been
compelled to employ other help and
will be compelled to pay higher wages
for the balance of the year. He
claims that he is damaged to the
amount of $3.50 and asks judgment
for the amount and costs. The case
will be watched with much interest.

JAP WARsHIPs WIN
RUSSIAN CRUISER RuRlk SENT
TO THE BOTTOM.
Two of the Russian War Vessels Es-
cape to Northward, Badly Crippled.
Japan's Naval Waiting Game Final.
Iy Rewarded With Success.

Toxic, Aug. 15.-Flags are flying,
lanterns are glimmering and cries of
"banzai are ringing in the streets
Of Toxic in honor of the victories
gained at sea by Admiral Togo and
Vice Admiral Kanimura. Underneath
the jollification OF the populace lies a
feeling of deep satisfaction and graft
cation at the disposal of a desperately
serious problem of the war.
The Russian squadron which con-
fronted Admiral Togo refused battle.
1t was stronger than Admiral Togo's
squadron in battlesnips and armored
cruisers and had it elected to fight the
result might have altered the fortunes
of war. The strength of the squadron
which opposed Admiral Togo COM
PEELED him to draw vessels from the
squadron under Vice Admiral Kami-
mura, and this left the Japanese navy
powerless to operate against the Rus
sian Vladivostok squadron and unable
to prevent the raids of these vessels.
The raid conducted by the Vladivo-
stok squadron in July was extremely
retaliation tempting, but it was de.
manded by commercial interests.
The navy, however, grimly refused
to make diversion and stuck to Port
Arthur. 1t was confident that the
harbor soon would be untenable for
the Russian warships, that it would
eventually get a fair fight in the open
sea, away from the Russian land bat
teries, and that the Japanese would
win. The calculations of the navy
were correct, and the Russians, with
the chances even, have been hope
lessly defeated.
Vice Admiral Kamimura, after
months of weary and patient waiting,
finally got his chance at dawn yester-
day off Tsu island, in the strait Of
Korea. The battle lasted five hours
and resulted in complete Japanese
victory. He sunk the Russian cruiser.
Rurik and sent the cruisers Gromoboi
and Rossia fleeing back from the
fight, badly damaged. The injuries in
flicted on the japanese vessels were
slight.
Japanese guns dominate the dock
yards at Port Arthur and in view of
this fact it would seem to be impossi-
BILE again to make seaworthy or fight
Nable the Russian battleships which
have returned to Port Arthur. 1t is
probable that the Russian battleship
Czarevitch will disarm at Tsingchau.
The best possible naval force that
Russia can now concentrate at Vlad-
ivostok is four cruisers.

LOOK FOR CORN DEMAND.
New York Exporters Already Getting
Many Inquiries.

New York, Aug. 15.-The exporters
of corn are receiving inquiries which
indicate that there will be an excep.
tionally heavy demand for the cereal
for export during the coming season.
The news is exceedingly welcome to
the farmers who have large crops and
are prepared to meet the foreign de-
mands. The crop of 1903 was large,
amounting to 2,244,176,925 bushels,
and that Of two years ago was also
large, amounting to 2,523,648,213 bush
els, SO that there are no shortages in
the domestic supply to make UP, while
the present crop is estimated by Stat
istician Brown of the New York Pro-
duce exchange at 2,50O,000,000 bushels.
The grain is also reported to be in
excellent condition and it is expected
to be in good shape for export. To-
gether with the large available supply
for export, the country has the good
fortune to possess this stock when
the other large markets will be in
great need OF supplies by reason of
crop shortages in other countries
Roumania ordinarily exports 35,O00,-
600 bushels of corn a year, but the
crops are SO light in that country this
season that a ukase has been issued
forbidding the expectation of corn
this year. The outlook in Italy and
Bulgaria is also bad, and Germany Is
in need of SO much corn that the gov
eminent is considering reduction OF
the import duty.
The ocean freight rates for corr
are exceedingly low, and both the ex
porters and shipping interests are OK

independent Packers Not Helped.

Des Moines, Aug. 14.-William Agar,
one of the owners of the packing
house in Des Moines, states that the
Independent packers desire the end
ing OF the strike as much as the other
packers do, and that the Independents
have not received any benefit by the
failure of the large packers to supply
their customers. The advantage they
had was more than Offset by the stor-
les of high prices for the meat, which
nearly stopped all demand for meat.

mittee of meat producers in Chicago

Ames, Ia, Aug. 15.-William Vasey,
farmer residing at Collins, has
brought suit against the Chicago and

case grows out of delay in the ship

cago market last January. Vasey
claims that the car Of stock left Col
Inns at 9 o'clock Jan. 20 and by delay
Gid not reach it's destination until
noon the following day, when the
market was off IL cents The decline
in price and the expense of keeping
the stock over caused him loss equal
to the amount asked for. A similar
case has been filed by Stark Atwood,
in which he asks $3.50 damages for
loss on a car of cattle and hogs. CIV
ing the same causes for loss as in the
above case.

described as an outrageous violation
of Chinese neutrality and of UNIVERSAL

both sides were ordered out of range.
When the fight had been under way
for some time, the cruisers and small

Czarevitch was surrounded by four
