CAPTURE MANY GUNS
Significance Of the Japanese
Latest Victory

TOKYO, Dec. S0.-The Japanese
captured forty three guns when Rih-
lung fort was taken. The fort was
captured with a thousand Japanese
casualties. Seven dynamite mines
exploded at 10 O'Clock, Dec. 28, made
breaches In the front wall, through
which a large body of Japanese troops
charged under cover of a tremendous
bombardment and captured the first
line of light guns. A bitter fight re-
suited in the capture of the fort. The
garrison, numbering 500 men, escaped.
Rihlung fort, situated on Rihlung
mountain, formed part of the inner
circle of the chain of forts defending
Port Arthur. Rihlung is situated two
miles from the outskirts of the town of
Port Arthur, from which it bears due
northeast. The fort just captured is
mile and half southeast of Kekwan,
fort recently captured by the Jap
anese. The possession of these two
forts should make a most important
breach In the Notifications of Port
Arthur and cut off communication
between the Golden hill forts and the
forts of the western section of the in
ner circle of fortifications.

One Place Where They Hate
MUKDEN, Dec. 29.-Cossacls today
brought in the body of Capt, Erldaroff,
noted scout, who was killed in an at
tack on the village of Tifanty.
Intense hatred exists between some
of the opposing forces in trenches close
together, notwithstanding the friendly
terms existing at other parts of the
fronts of the two armies. The Japa-
nese try to heat their shelters at adj
yanced positions with charcoal fires
concealed in small braziers, so as to
show no light. One of these recently
was broken and the fire exposed the
position of the Japanese picket. The
whole party was Immediately wiped
out by a furious Russian fire.
There was sharp skirmish on Dec
2S at Sinehinpu. A concealed mortar
battery inside the Russian lines opened
on the Japanese position, driving out
number of the japanese, who sought
refuge among the trees ard bushes A
shell exploded a japanese mine in
front of the trenches, infiicting con-
siderable damage. he Russian bat
teries are connected by telephone and
report the result of each other's fire.

Let Mourninu Be.

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat
 The middle-aged man has been reading the pepers, evidently, because he takes occasion to say: "I see there is little opposition in some circles against mourn ing. Now don't do that. You don't know how far a mourning suit goes toward con- soling a widow with a second husband There Is something chic and almost ire sistible in mourning, and women should not be deprived of the influence it asserts. knows how to dress, one who has good hair and knows how to arrange it to ad- vantage, who has good complexion and cares for 1t, who has eyes with a love me look in them that she couldn't help to save her life, and dress her in black costume. without a wrinkle to the waist and with a skirt that hangs perfectly, and the makeup Is perfect. When the mourning lapses a little into the second stage, with a bit of white or buff or some other color here and there. and the long veil, which has hung heretofore in such graceful wavy, clinging grace about the shoulders. is dropped and the be- witching little bonnet is worn just long enough to give added grace to the lonely half-mourning hat that follows 1t, thens the time when the heretofore enthralled man just falls down and worships and asks, oh. so humby, yet persistently. to be played as No. ?. Don't you talk to me-just let that mourning be-"

The Making of Panama Hats.

From the Washington Star:
 In a report to the Department of Com merce and Labor United States Consul General Alban G. Snyder at Bogota, Co., lombia writes of the manufacture of Pan anna hats. He says these hats are made on solid wooden blocks by from two to four persons generally women, sitting op- posite to each other and working stead ily. Four women can make an average quality hat in six or seven days, whereas q fine requires from three to six weeks. The consul states that an expert hat ter cannot make as good a hat in the dry summer weather as during the rainy sea- son. These matters work every day from early in the morning. wasting very little time in eating and often carrying on their work by candle-light This is done so as to finish in time for market day, for the loss of an hour may mean the loss of a market day.

Marion, April 14.-(Special)-Perry is into it. The election under the new pri- mary system has shaken the county from center to circumference. The contest for some of the county offices was too close for comfort. All seemed to want to do the fair thing but didn't know exactly how. The training of many years was too hard to overcome with the first dose. The state ticket was allowed to pass in under the circus door of the county executive committee which assembled at noon today with only slight protest from the firing line which presented the entire county aspirants.
 Pyrotechnics flew around like small balloons when the real circus opened. Stewart & Stewart, w. M. Fowlkes, De- Graffenreid & Evans represented the contestants. The latter two were not present today. but will be before the state convention and the courts to fight

stroyed by the explosion, the Missouri will be ordered to New York for repairs.
 VIII Make Investigation.
 Admiral Capps, chief constructor of the navy, has gone to Pensacola to make a personal examination of the turrets of the Missouri The construction bureau, which designs and builds these turrets, for some time has been working on the problem of designing a turret that will prevent the communication of flame from the top of the turret where the gun crews stand, to the handling room, where the ammunition hosts begin. Thus far no satisfactory solution has been reached.
 As explained by one of the senior naval constructors what is desired, is some means of automatically opening and closing the large hole in the floor of the turret through which the ammunition Is lifted by the hoist up the well from the bottom of the ship to the breech of the gun. There are two of these hoists, and consequently two openings about three or four feet across.
 The ammunition hoist Is much like the old family dumbwiter. in three stories, tho top for the shot and the lower two holding the four bags of powder. This is drawn up to the top of the turret by a wire rope, making, as in the recent target practice of the Wisconsin and Ala bama, two minute trips each from the bottom of the ship to the top. The problem Is to provide an automatic trap door from each of the two openings that will have the speed needed and yet not explode the powder.
