fine RAIN

of rain of last night and today.
Operations in the oil fields will
now resume, which will give EN-.
ployment to many idle men, and
in few days numerous new wells
will be rugged up and drilling re-
sumed. The recent rains will
doubtless cause another rise in the
river, which will permit the local
boats now running to continue in
their respective trades. A rise in
the river at this particular time is
badly needed, and will be of un-
told good to the residents of the
Ohio valley. In fact, everybody
has been benefited in some way
by the rain, and it is hoped more
will fall soon.

w. M. Weekly, Esq, Sandyville,
w. Va:
Ny Dear Sir:-Mr. Hawk did
not receive any money from me
or my committee of friends to pay
the expenses of delegates. The
only money he received from the
committee was a small amount to
pay railroad transportation for
some of the delegates, and he has
returned every cent that was not
used in that way. Mr.. Hawk paid
his own expenses and railroad
transportation. I write this to set
Mr.. Hawk straight, and at any
time that you are here I could
show you just the amount that
he received and returned to the
committee: I thank you for your
support and hope to see you dur
ing the campaign. I hope this
will satisfy you and other friends
as to Mr.. Hawk, as I would feel
very much hurt if he should be

LOST IN THE MOUNTAINS.
Two Days and Nights-But Ultimately
Reached Home in Safety.

For two days and two nights last
week, Sherman Chappell and com
panion were lost in the mountains
| at the head of Beaver Creek. With
others, they went out hurting, ex-
pecfing to return home the same
night. In due time a portion of the
party put in an appearance, but
ChappeH and his friend failed to re-
turn. Neither did they appear the
! following day, nor the night there
after. Intense alarm was felt at
the family home, and searching
party was sent out. On the third
day however. the missing men tur-
ned up, alive and well but some
what the worse for their hard ex-
perience.
1t turned out, that they had be-
come beiwldered in the woods, and
were unable to find their way out.
There was considerable snow on the
ground, which likewise added to
the uncomfortable character OF their
situation. They wandered about
however. until they finally reached
cabin on the headwaters of the
Alsea, having strayed a long way
out of their course, There, they
obtained food and rest, and were
put on trail that led them again
into the settlement, whence in due
time they were able to reach home.
Mr.. Chappel1 is 20 years of-age.
He resides with his parents on what
was formerly the FL Bethers place,
near Inavale. He was in Corvallis
a day or two ago.

LOSS OF THE JAPS
TEN THOUSAND MEN FALL IN a
LAND ATTACK.
LOSS OF THE RUSSIANS 5000
This, However, is an Unconflrmed
Dispatch from Russian Consul at
Che Foo--Japanese Are Said to
Have Lost Three More Cruisers.

ST. PETERSBURG-It is reported
that Foreign Minister Lamsdorff has
received a message from the Russian
consul at Che Foo saying that the
Japanese have made land attack on
Port Arthur and that In doing so they
lost $4,000 men killed and wounded.
The Russian loss is placed at 1900
men. The ultimate outcome of the
tighting is not stated.
The ST. Petersburg correspondent of
the Paris Matin says that it is per-
sistentIy rumored that the Vladivo-
stok squadron has captured three
cruisers that were bought by Japan
from Chile.
The st. Petersburg correspondent
of the London Central News says
that there was an explosion Monday
on board the battleship Orel at Cron-
stadt and that ten stokers were kill
ed. The vessel, the report says, was
damaged and it will take weeks to
effect repairs. The explosion, accord
ing to the dispatch, was the result of
an accumulation OF gas in the bunk
ers.

NEW YORK.-David Rothschild,
who was convicted of grand larceny
in connection with the Federal bank
failure and sentenced to serve nine
years in states prison, instructed his
attorneys to withdraw their motion

viction that if the former bank presi-
dent made fight he would immedi-
ately call to trial other indictments
now pending against him, and it is
said that Rothschild has concluded not
to invite this action, but to begin
serving his sentence at once.

CUDAHY'S LOS ANGELES FIRE.
Plant Will Be Rebuilt at Once, More
Modern Than Old One.

OMAHA-The burning of the Cuda-
by packing plant at Los Angeles, Cal,
occasioned a loss of about 100000,
and is to be rebuilt at once.
The fire commenced Tuesday after
noon, supposedly from spontaneous
combustion. George Parks of this
city left for Los Angeles to superin-
tend the rebuilding of the new plant,
and James Phillips will soon follow
to superintend the mechanical part
Of it. Manager Murphy said:
"The press dispatches put the loss
at 100000, but the total loss will
probably be less than 100000 1t is
fully covered by insurance. The work
of rebuilding is to commence at once,
under direction of Contractor George
Parks of this city, and the new plant
will be more modern than the one
destroyed by fire.
"The plant was entirely destroyed,
excepting the warehouse, which is
valuable"

IMPORTANT MOVE
SAID TO ABOUT TO BE MADE BY
GENERAL KURoPATkIN.
THE RUSSIANS ARE EXCITED
After Engagement with Korean Troops
They Burn the shrines-Teleeraphic
Communication with New Chwans
Interrupted.

ST. PETERSBURG-There are An
dications that General Kuropatkin is
preparing to make a very important
move against the enemy.
One of the reasons for this belief
is the suddenly increased restrictions
upon the war. correspondents at the
front.
The prevailing belief here Is that
General Kuroi's army is in difficulties.
SEOUL, Korea-A telegram has
been received here from Gen San, on
the east coast of Korea, saying that
the Russians, after the engagement
with Korean troops at Ham Heung, on
May 10, burned the shrines and the
royal mausoleum which were erecued
there by the founder of the present
Korean dynasty in the year 1865, and
which were regarded by the Koreans
as sacred. This apparent wanton des-
ecration of tombs in a land imbued
with the spirit of ancestor worship
has caused excited denunciation of
the Russians on the part of the Seoul
officials. (Ham Heung is on the coast
of Korea and about fifty miles north
of Gen SAM
The Cossacks which are believed to
be at Kyong Song have, according to
Korean reports, about twenty guns
with them. If this is true this artil-
lery probably is composed of trans
Baikal horse batteries, several of
which were attached to the First corps
at Vladivostok before the war.
A Japanese who has returned here
from Yongampho reports that there
are only few Japanese troops there.
The people are quiet, but they do not
welcome the Japanese occupation be-
cause of the severity of the military
| authorities. The Russians left many
thousand feet of useful timber at
Yongampho.
There are not more than 5000 sol
diers in the garrison at Seoul. Bar
racks which heretofore were filled are
now vacant, the troops having gone
north to Anju. The local gendarmes
are being transferred TO Yongampho
WIFI and An Tung.
ST. PETERSBURG - Telegraphic
communication with New Chwang is
interrupted, and private messages for
points south of Lao Yang are refused
here at the telegraph Office
The nature Of the interruption with
| New Chwang is not known, but the
cause for refusing messages south of
Lao Yang is the complete absorption
of the lines for military purposes.

WILL VENEZUELA REPUDIATE?
Country Being Fortified and Uneasi-
ness Felt.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Military
measures on a large scale begun re-
Gently by Venezuela are giving rise
to a great deal of uneasiness and ap-
prehension here. 1t is stated that a
French company sold Castro's govern
ment 100000 livres' worth of artil-
lery, which is being placed in forti-
fications at Puerto Cabello and other
important coast ports. The company
also contracted to supply force of
skilled artillerymen to man the guns
for certain period.
Just what this expensive armament
means, when Venezuela is so poor, is
a matter of speculation here and there
is some fear it is the forerunner of a
reputation by Venezuela of liability
for further payments of installments
of indemnity under the awards of the
recent arbitrations.

of conspiracy in connection with their
duties of law officers of the Postoffice
department a verdict of not guilty
was returned. The throng which fill
ed the courtroom throughout the argu-
ments to the jury hardly had time to
leave the building before he jury was
back and the foreman announced that
a verdict had been reached. General
Tyner, expecting a longer wait, had
been wheeled from the room and his
nephew and codefendant fastened to
give an order which caused him to re-
turn.
General Tyner appeared greatly ex-
cited as he attempted to face the jury,
and when the verdict was returned he
broke DOWN completely. Several of
the jurors wept with him and all Of
them shook hands with him.
The Tyner-Barrett case was begun
on May 2 and has been before the
court nineteen full days A great mass
of testimony was offered. The prose-
cution brought forward an army of
witnesses, majority of whom were
former officers of bond investment
companies, through which Harrison j.

ing before his uncle, who remained in
