Tama, June 27.-The Central Iowa
Chautauqua Association opened its
course of lectures and entertainments
Robert Stuart Macarthur of New York
City, to fully 1000 people. In the ey-
ening the Roney boys gave sacred
concert assisted by a short address
given by Mr.. S. D. Gordon, who has
been engaged to conduct the Bible
study every afternoon of the meeting.
Some excitement was created just
before the opening of the evening SER
vice by the collapse OF some seats in
ton were on the north side of the tent
and built up on a sloping bank, none
of them over ten inches from the
ground Some thoughtless persons
commenced to sway back and forth on
these and shortly the supports gave
way and the whole section fell, how
ever, no injury was sustained by any
one. and beyond the scare for Il min
ute. no harmful effects resulted. The
seats are perfectly safe and to be sure
that there are no weak places the car
penters will examine them thoroughly
again today and if any are found will
make them doubly safe before the af-
ternoon service.
The opening of the association is au-
spicious and Tama and Toledo expect
the greatest treat of years in the ex-
cellent program provided.

Russian Officers Said to be Fighting
Each Other instead Of Japan.


Each Other Instead Of Japan.
Tien Tsin, June 27.-The CORES
pondent Of the Associated Press has
seen a translation of private letter
from an officer high in command un-
der General Kuropatkin to a brother
officer giving a gloomy view of the
situation for Russia and making dis
closures. The writer said:
1T is a shame to see officers con-
stantly quarreling, dividing into cliq-
ues and fighting for their own inter-
ests, until Japan, the common enemy,
is forgotten Everyone from viceroy
and Kuropatkin to insignificant suba.-
terms lis quarreling and unwilling to
obey orders. In the ayes of the cor
respondents and foreign attaches we
are disgraced..'
Until tie whole system Is changed
we cannot hope for victory. jealousy
and suspicion are ram pant thruout the
army. Members of the secret service
are so busy spying upon each other
that they cannot apprehend spies and
japanese agents, who work with inn
punity. the Japanese knowing every
plan made by us. which accounts for
many plans having been changed sud
denly. Our brave soldiers go into bat
tie like sheep to the snambles. No one
can deny their loyalty, but until they
are properly officered their loyalty and
zeal are wasted. Europe now knows
we are divided house and will profit
accordingly. Those who have the wel-
fare Of Russia at heart. cannot help
feeling that If Port Arthur falls and
Japan takes Liao Wang, the powers
will intervene to our eternal disgrace"

Temporary Defences Are of the Best
rt--Transportation Facilities.
Via Fusan, June 27.-[General kur-
okis headquarters, in feldl--A party
of eighteen correspondents and military
attaches have been conducted on a
tour of the main Japanese works be-
yond headquarters. The greatest care
has been taken in building them. The
temporary defenses have been con-
structed with more pains than most
European armies would take under
similar circumstances. At Liao Yang,
where it was hitherto thought the first
meeting between the Two armies In
force would occur the Russians have
guns in position, mounted on the city
wall and trenches on the plain south OF
the city, extending over an area of $50
degrees. These trenches are so con-
structed that they can be flooded dur
ing the rainy season. Recent rains
indicate the beginning OF the wet seas
on when military movements upon
a large scale perhaps will be impossible
for months.
The japanese are completing ar
rangements for transportation whereby
facilities for supply of the army will
be assured regardless tf weather con-
ditions. The Koreans are bringing IN
many stories Of Cossack outrages in
northern Korea.

BULLETIN.

Chicago, June 27.-A Daily News
Toxic special says: 1t is stated by the
war office that General Oku's army has
passed a mountain barrier protecting
the right flank and rear of kuropatkin' $
forces in passes between Kaping and
Moten. The Russian position has thus
been rendered strategically untenable,
and it is expected that it will be actual :
" untenable In the course of the opera
tions OF the coming week, unless the
Russians resist the advance OF the Japs
more successfully than hitherto. In that
event Kuroki will be relieved OF the
necessity Of attacking frontally the
main stronghold OF the Muscovites be-
tween Feng Huang Cheng and the rail-
way.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, June 27.-The Interur-
ban railway business in Iowa, as else
where in the country, has been profit
able beyond all expectations Of their
early promoters. The reports recently
made to the state executive council
show that the Interlrban railway, the
line between Des Moines and Colfax.
23.41 miles in length made net profit
last year of S33.277. The Waterloo and
Cedar Falls line, 31.2 miles in length,
reported net profit of $36.114. The
Mason City and Clear Lake line, only
IA miles in length. cleared s1o,46s.
Intarurban railways are not very ex-
pensive in construction or equipment
and the above figures return heavy
interest on investment. The state ex-
ecutive council last year valued the
Waterloo and Cedar Falls line at $10.-
900 per mile, making; its total valuation
about $4,000, which is much in ex-
cess of actual cost of building, upon
this valuation, however. the net in
come of $36.114 represents an earning
capacity of l0.2 per cent. The Colfax
interurban line is also valued at
about $40 900 per mile. and its net profit
represent return of nearly 15 per
cent.
The following are the reported in
come and expenditures of Iowa's four
interurbans:
Cedar Rapids and Marion--Income,
sS3,26522; expenses, s17S02.09; net
profits, $15.963.13.

Montour, June 27.--A very exciting
republican primary election was held
here last Saturday. Delegates We're Sc
lected to the county convention, but the
real issue at stake was whether the
township would instruct its delegates

Smith in the county convention for su-
pervisor. This contest has been warm

quite a record as II local politician and
this was Smiths first venture When

Smith had large majority The vote
stood ia for Smith, as against AZ for
