FARMERS WANT TO KNOW.
Fear North Side Ditch VIII Flood
Their Lands.

The farmers living south of the Union
Pacific railroad, west of North Topeka,
are Directing to the proposed ditch from
Soldier creek to the Kansas river, and the
farmers living north of the railroad are
anxious for it to be built
Consderabl BILE feeling has arisen over the
ditch and some of the farmers think that
the people of North Topeka who have pc
titioned for dykes will compel the farmers
to help pay for the ditch and also for the
dykes. The farmers will be taxed for the
ditch, but not for the dykes.
The farmers living south of the railroad
think that the ditch will bring more wa
ter to their lands than the overflow from
Soldier creek Some farmers living along
Soldier creek have cut large trees and
allowed them to fall into the creek with
the intention of filling up the bed of the
creek and forcing the water out of the
banks and across the low country west of
town and thus compelling the farmers to
build the ditch for their protection and
also to keep the flood water from follow
ing Soldier creek
Soldier creek is so filled with trees and
debris that the creek bed will not carry
off the amount of water it has carried in
years gone by

firing cooIIy and deliberately. The Jap
anese fire was spasnodic. Their bullets
sang like birds as they sped overhead
and the Russians cracked jokes about
it.
Two hours later the correspondent
reached the battery and found that
Pokotiloff and another officer, Costron,
had been killed. Out of 60 gunners, 40
were killed or wounded captain Iar-
asoff was in charge of the battery. His
quiet courtesy recalled the hero of one
of Count Tolstoi's novels. Fifty YARDS

whose duty it was to record the success
or failure of each shot, the grim song
of death. with. deadly messengers hurt

gunner stood erect and utterly without

1.-THE Russian officers had not eaten

duty enabled him to overcome his SUI

on a horse so that he could get to
Lao Yang and file his dispatch. 1t
took him five hours to cover the five

he reached there NJ. Kirilof was so

FOUGHT WITH STONES.
Ammunition Could Not Be Supplied
Fast Enough at Lao Yang.


Yentai. Sept. S.-Delayed by the
censor until Sept. ga Russian cor
respondent of the Associated Press
who has just arrived here from Lao
Yang gives some details of the hnal
assaults on that place. He says:
"Atthe time of the Japanese bonn
bardment of the railway station the
ambulances were in the rear of the sta
ton from where it was impossible to
move them A shrapnel shell which
burst over the station wounded two
nurses one of whom has since died.
THE hottest fighting was on Aug
ust 80 and 81, when the repeated as
saults of the epemy were all repulsed
1.-The gath and 35th regiments OF the
Ninth division and the 23rd regiment
of the Eastern division were particu-
larIy hard pressed, and were several
times reinforced. Ammunition could
not be brought on quickly enough
and the meR at times actually stoned
their aSsailants.
MANY companies had all their Of
ficers killed or wounded, and the men
fought under non=commissioned Off
GERS.

Believe Kuropatl1in VIII Escape.

St Petersburg, Sept. 6.-4:13 p. m.
The Associated Press is authorized
in the name of the Russian general
tsaff to deny the report which was in
circulation here last night of the an
Inhalation of General Kuropatkin's
rear guard. According to the latest adj
vices of the staff no Russian force
was cut off and it is believed that
there is little danger of the Japanese
intercepting Kuropatkin below Muk-
dem hTe information here is that the
Japanese force at BenSihu does not
exceed two divisions at the most. 1t
is added, however that the staff has
not yet received news from the front
under today's date.

Crawford County Fair.

Pittsburg, Kas., Sept. 6.-The Craw-
ford County Fair Association opens its
annual meeting today at the Forest
park grounds for three days. The
park is stocked up with fine cattle,
horse and hogs and farm products.
Entries of fine stock have been made
by beeeders in both Cherokee and
Crawford counties, and a great deal of
interest is being taken in the races
that will be pulled off each day dur
ing the fair. Some of the best horses
in Missouri and Kansas have been en-
tered.

RUSSIA is DISAPPOINTED.
Battle of Liao Yang Was a Severe
Blow to Her Hopes.


St. Petersburg, Sept. 6.-4:O6 p. m.
While insisting that Marshal Oyama
missed his main object at Lao tang
most of the Russian papers do not dis-
guise their profound disappointment
over the result of the battle of Lao
Yang. The Russky Invalid, organ of
the army, however, is of the opinion
that General Kuropatkin both Strate-
gicalIy and technically got everything
possible out of Lao Yang, saying:~
1T enabled him to cope with an
army very much superior to his Field
Marshal Oyama was compelled to
waste several tens of thousands of
men to capture a position which is of
no importance, now that kuropatk1n
has left. 1t is evident that Oyama's
plans miscarried since he failed to
surround and infiict decisive blow
on the Russian army"
The other view is represented by
the Russ as follows:
1.-THE fact that Kuropatkin was
compelled to leave Lao Yang has not
only military but political significance.
Tilt is no use concealing the TACT
that the evacuation of Lao Yang was
a surprise for the Russians. Every
body was led to believe that the hour
had arrived for a decisive struggle.
1t was thus we interrupted Kuropat-
kins telegram, saying the men were
thursting' for an opportunity to meet
the foe. Dashing our means OF pro-
longation of the campaign. The mo-
indefinitely postponed. This will in
evitabIy influence the fate of Port
Arthur and the further development
of the japanese operations The
evacuation of Lao Yang will have an
affect upon China, which already is
in state of nervous tension under the
influence of Japanese agitation. The
Japanese, of course, will do their best
to restore Mukden to China and China
must foot the bill. We cannot de-
ceive ourselves any longer with the
idea that by retreating into the heart
of Manchuria we are gaining time
and adding to our forces, whereas the
Japanese are frightening their line of
communications and therefore losing
strength. Our idea of the military
strength of the Japanese were far
from correct 1t is known now that
they can increase their forces as We'll
as we can. We fully believe in ourf
ultimate success, but it is idle to think
at facts. We shall have to make
heavy sacrifices in order to protect the
vital interests of the empire"
