Tokyo, April Cit is announced at
the war Office that force of 10000
Japanese has arrived at Changseng, on
the south bank of the Yalu. The for
ward movement was slightly opposed
by force of Cossacks, but the latter
confined their operations to long range
rifle firing, which. for the most part,
was ineffective. The Cossacks slowly
retired before the Japanese advance,
apparently not being strong enough to
successfully engage it.

DANGEROUS COUNTERFEIT.
Bad Money Coming to This COunir,
From China.


Seattle. April Limited States
money is being coined in China and
shipped into this country through this
port At least it is United States mon
ey to almost anyone but the secret
service officials. Then it is an incen-
tive to find the man who makes it. for
it is about the cleverest counterfeit
that has come to their eyes in many
days. 1t is of the standard fineness.
within few grains of the standard
weight and the design is almost as per-
feet as the one on the genuine coin.
The officials of the Puget Sound Ma
tional bank got something of shock
last month when a small amount of
silver coin which they had shipped TO
the subtreasury at San Francisco was
declared to be spurious. The secret
service men, to whom the money was
shown. experienced another shock
when they saw how nearly perfect the
bogus coins We're. A little quiet in
vestigation was done and then the Sc
cret service officials in various parts
of the country We're notified.
Capt. Bell. of the secret service
here, is confident the money is not
made in this country. and believes it
comes from the same source as the
large amount of bogus coin circulating
in the Philippines-China.
The profit in the manufacture of the
counterfeits. in view of the fact that
they are up to the required standard
of quality, lies in the low price of
silver. That is, in the fact that the
American dollar contains but about 80
cents worth Of silver bullion.

ST. Paul. April 6.-James j. Hill,
through his personal representatives in
st. Paul, is said to be making an effort
to swing the strong anti-Standard Oil
sentiment in the Northwest against
Hartman and Pierce in the battle for

THE real reason for the petition

Five leading contentious will be ad.

ferred shareholders; that they cannot
be permitted to absorb the profits du
to the increased value of Northern Pa.
cific common; that the Oregon Short
Line cannot legally own and vote
Northern Pacific shares; and that

except from the banking house.

Stormy Times.

Stormy Times.
During the past week Shepherds
town had more than its share of severe
thunder storms. Last Saturday eve-
ming a very threatening storm came
up about dark, and though the worst
of it passed to the north, there was an
unusually brilliant display of electrici-
| ty. The lightning flashed almost in
cessantly, and it was strangely beau
tiful sight to see the mountains east
of town Illuminated by the broad
sheets of light.
Sunday afternoon and evening five
distinct storms passed over this section.
The last and the most severe was be-
tween seven and eight o'clock. The
rain fell in torrents and high wind
and sharp lightning ard thunder add
ed to the fury of the storm. Many
trees were blown down, and giant
oaks that had stood the storms of a
century fell with terrifying crashes.
Monday evening another series of
storms ragged for several hours. The
most disastrous was one that swept
up from the south, and hurled from
its angry clouds volley of hail stones
that devastated the section over which
it passed. The path of the hail was
only about a quarter of mile wide,
and only a few scattering pellets
reached Shepherdstown, the center
being about a mile to the east of town.
1t did its heaviest damage on the
farms of c. D. Wysong, E. H. Rein
hart, John L. Athey, William and j.
R. Wysong and the Billmyer farm,
teuanted by Taylor Powell. Itruined
the wheat and rye in number OF
fields, tore the corn into ribbons and
destroyed the gardens. A number OF
glass were broken in the houses on the
Selby farm occupied by Charles +.
Byers. A tree fell on the dwelling
house of the Messrs. Wysong and
caused considerable damage. The
storm passed over the river into
Maryland and caused a great deal OF
damage through Washington county.
Heavy rain also fell later, and the
corn fields were badly washed, ne
cessitating extensive replanting. The
unusual number of storms that have
prevailed here in the last few weeks,
and their terrifying adjuncts of light.
ming, thunder and wind, have sort OF
gotten the nerves of the people on
edge.

distressing Accident at Bakerton.

A very unfortunate accident &C.
Cured at Bakerton last Sunday after
noon. the victim of which was Ray
mond Hoffman, about thirteen years
old, son of Mr.. and Mrs. James Hoff-
man. Young Hoffman and another
boy had sought shelter from a storm
in the building in which is located
the air compressor that is part OF
the plant of the Washington Building
Lime Company. Although warned
of the danger Of the place, the lad
stumbled and in stretching out his
hand to save himself he got it caught
in the cog wheels of the compressor.
In an instant his arm was drawn
into the wheels and crushed almost
to the shoulder. By some fortunate
chance he managed to release himself,
or he would have been drawn into
the machinery and ground to pieces.
The dreadfully injured boy was taken
to his home and surgeons sent for.
Drs. Perry and Bushong responded
and amputated the arm near the
shoulder. The lad, who showed great
pluck and endurance through it all,
stood the ordeal well, and it is hoped
he will soon recover.

SHEPHERD COLLEGE COMMENCE
MENT

The first of the exercises connected
with the thirty-frst annual commence
ment of Shepherd College State Nor
NAL School was the address last Fri
day evening by Hon. George L. Wei
lington, of Maryland, before the Cic-
eronian and Parthenian literary soci-
cites. The ex-senator chose for his
subject Loyalty to Conviction, and
his address was a masterpiece of earn
est eloquence-an inspiration to the
young and enthusiastic students to
whom it was particularly addressed.
Mr.. Wellington held up as ideals The
men who have been great in the real
reform movements OF the world, those
sturdy, courageous, self-sacrifcing
spirits who by loyalty to their conyic-
tons led the people to civil and re-
ligious liberty and delivered he ma
tons from oppression and evil domin-
ion. The Senator alluded TO the I'M
portaut questions III our own country
and the policies OF our government,
and he expressed the same vigorous
dissent from the policy of expansion
that he felt when his voice was lifted
in eloquent opposition in the United
States Senate. His address was an
interesting and forcetul one and he
gave the large audience that listened
to him a great deal Of food tor refec-
ton. He was roundly applauded,
though all his sentiments, naturally,
did not find favor with everybody.
The societies presented to him very
beautiful boquet.
Mr. Wellington was entertained
while here by Prof and Mrs. J. D.
Muldoon, and after the lecture an In
formal reception was rendered at their
home. Many of our town people were
glad to have an opportunity to meet
the distinguished ex-senator, and
some renewed the acquaintance formed
some few years ago. The band sere-
naded him during the reception.

Another pleasing feature Of the com
mencement week was the competitive
drill by the members Of the cadet
corps. Capt. J. G. Knutti offered a
gold medal for the best-drilled cadet
at the close Of the school year. At
half past nine o'clock a large crowd
had assembled to witness the drill.
The boys made a splendid showing.
The drill consisted of the evolution Of
the company, bayonet exercise, and
the manual of arms The prize was
closely contested for, and the judges
were some time in making up their
minds as to who deserved it. They
finally decided that corporal j. H.
Heidwohl should carry off the honor.
Capt. Fisher then presented the medal
to the young man and made some re-
marks complimentary to the corps as
a whole. The judges were Major Der
ing, Of Charles Town, formerly con-
nected with the Y. NJ. l.; Capt Geo.
L. Fisher, Company B, Hagerstown
and Sergeant J. E. Rentch, Of the U.
S. Army.
