The Tidioute News tells of a phenom-
enon which struck that section last week
that will afford some scientific cuss lit
tie food for reflection. We might state
for Br'er Whites edification that no such
substance was noticeable hereabout, and
that if he is trying to "Ihrow dust in our
eyes" in this worst of all modern winters,
and that, too, on grounding day, he'll be
caught at it, and required to "make good"
in case there is any question about the
strange apparation: "Tuesday the snow
was covered with coating of some sub
stance of red-brOwn nature. Samples
obtained by melting a quantity of snow
showed 1t to be dust of red-brown col
or, very fine. showing little or no grit,
but decidedly of earth formation. 1t came
from the south, but from what point or
how it got in the air is query unan-
swered. 1t seemed to come between two
snow flurries."
The last legislature passed a bill in
creasing the salaries of judges in the
State. There was some question raised
as to its application to all the judges ofthe
State. Attorney General Carson decides
that it does. By it the judge of this dis
trict Forest Warren) goes from $4,000 to
s. 900 year, as does Butler, Clarion,
Crawford, Elk Cameron, Mercer, Nc
Kean and Venango. Erie goes from
So, 900 to 81, 900. The annual increase in
the State foots up Sl92,50O Despite the
opinion of the Attorney General, it is
said State Treasurer Harris refuses to
pay the warrants issued for the increased
pay and will await decision of the Su-
preme Court before the increased salaries
will he paid. 1t is altogether probable
that The State Treasurer is right about the
matter, and that the constitutional pro-
hibition of any increase of salaries to Of
ficials in office will be sustained.
Ohio farmers have been extensively
swindled recently, and as that field is
pretty well exhausted 1t is possible the
swindlers may visit this section. The
scheme is not new one, but will bear
repeating, as follows: Recently two
men appeared with patent tongue which
they claimed had great advantages over
the old style, and offered to leave one on
trial. Before departing they offered to
sell the right of the county. few days
later a couple of other men appeared and
wanted to buy the right to canvass, Of
fering several hundred dollars for it,
AS the sum was much greater than the
original price asked the farmer naturally
thinks that he will realize a neat profit.
When the original owner comes back the
right is eagerly purchased, but the high
priced buyer never puts in second ap-
pearance. The tongue is no better than
the ordinary kind.

Dear Sir: The cheap paint to buy is the
one that covers more than you think ;
the cheap one to wear is the one that is
young when old.
Mrs. Moore, of Kelsey, n. Y, bought
l6 gallons Devoe to paint her house two
coats her painters said it would take
that. Had gallons left.
Mr.. James Ackley's house, in Cairo
(Catskill Mountains) N. Y, was painted
Devoe; it wore IA years; and the paint
was in good condion then. He was going
to paint, the last we knew, though.
That's the way to preserve house; re-
paint when there's no occasion.
Yours truly,

He is a member of the M. l.. church, and
his contributions yearly to the mission
ary society of that church is six thousand
dollars. Besides this, and in addition to
it, he made contribution last year,
through Bishop G. G. McCabe. of one
hundred thousand dollars to the parent

to be paid in ten equal annual payments.
This liberality to the cause Of missions is
not equalled anywhere in the M. f.,

United States.-J Jeffersonian Democrat.
For the past ten days our town has
been practically without fire protection,
owing to an empty reservoir, and for
part of that time most of the citizens have
had scarcely en- nough water for domestic
use. Much of this trouble was caused by
patrons of the water company allowing
their spigots to run during the night to
prevent the pipes from freezing, a habit
which almost borders on the criminal,
thereby placing the town at the mercy OF
any fire that might occur while the res
ervoir was empty. An immense amount
of water is flowing in, as is shown by the
fact that In but few hours the supply
line filled the four thousand barrel reser-
voir, and to allow it TO run off to save
frozen water pipes simply because OF in
ferior or defective plumbing is decidedly
hazardous to the property owners, to
say nothing of the manifest unfairness
to the water company. If your pipes
are liable to freeze, turn off the
water at the drip stop which will be
found on every good job of plumbing.
Then the water is not wasted and pipes
will not be frozen.

HOPE WAKES IN Russia.
Fears Expressed. HOzcerer, for The
Safety of the Left U'ing.

ST. Petersburg. Oct 1.-THE news from thu
front tonight is more reassuring from the Rus
sian point of view. The situation is stin regard
ed as hefng critical. but General Kuropatkin is
apparently holding the japanese firmly on his
centre and right wing. even having recrossed the
Shakhe River; and. while there are rumors %
extensive Japanese hankinS movements. both
on the east and on the west. they are not con
frned.
General Kuropatkin's left wing has been hsart
from. The Associated Press has the first con-
nected account of the four days fight in front
Of Tumin and saitchoun passes. resulting in the
final withdrawal OF the strong Russian column
which had been sent to turn the japanese right.
though General Mistchenko seems to have pen
etrated a considerable distance inside the Jap
anese line. The report OF the operations Of tbs
Russian left wing is stiH three days old. and
since that time no news has been received from
this column. The situation st this date may be
described as follows:
General Kuropatkin has slightly advanced his
centre. reoccupying Shakhe. south Of the Shskhe
River Directly behind him. at a distance OF
nine miles. lies the Hun River. and across the
bridges spanning this stream the Russians must
retire in case they retreat on MOukden. Gen
eraI Kuropatxiu must continue firmly TO hold
his centre and right flank in order TO prevent
the Japanese getting possession OF the Hun
River bridges. Thus he will cover the with
drawaI OF his apparently beaten west wing.
There is still considerable uncertainty as 20
the disposition Of this left column. Certainly
Il has not returned TO NIOukden; whether IL il
again advancing after it's first withdrawal is not
known.
1t is no longer a question of Russian sedan.
though all hope of relieving Port Arthur must
apparently be abandoned. Little hope IS ex-
pressed that KurOpatlSin will be able to continue
TO advance.
The four days fight Of the eastern column
was of the same desperate character that
marked the operations Of the centre and right
wing \ heavy Russian column. under such
leaders Ivanhon. Rennenkampf. Gerugross
and KOndrstovitch, repeatedly assaulted stronS-
ly entrenChed Japanese positions on heights
commanding the passes. The assaults were
largely night work The CaDnOnade was so
furious that it was impossible to advance In
the light of day, Finally. on October 13 when
the passes had been actually occupied, came. the
cal position at other parts OF the front. Here
the story of the operations Of the eastern wing
Of the Russian army ends.
Vice-AdmiraI ROgestvensky has been appoint
ed adiutant 70 the Emperor.
General Grippenberg. who has arrived at ST.
