CAPTURE OF PORT ARTHUR.
Tidings of Victory Eagerly Looked
for by the japanese.

Toxic, Aug. 4, 10 am--The japanese
are hourly awaiting tidings of a victory
at Port Arthur with more interest and
eagerness than heretofore displayed
the war. The possession OF the
Russian fortress and naval base Is con-
sidered of paramount Importance BY the
japanese. The moose about the be-
sieged city is gradually tightening. and
il is felt here that the critical hour is
fast approaching.
1t is believed that the fire from the
japanese batteries will compel the Rus
sian feet to leave the harbor and accept
battle from Admiral Toxic. IL is be-
lieved that Port Arthur could have been
taken before this time with a heavy
sacrifice of life, but il is evident that
the military leaders are working to et-
feet the reduction and capture of the
fortress with the minimum loss Of life.
There will be no charges OF great
masses Of infantry until the artillery
has finished the task of silencing the
the Russian guns.

HEARST LOSES TAMMANY'S AID
Leader Murphy Declares War Upon

A special dispatch from New York to

says:
"The Times says Orders have gone
forth from Tammany Hall that William
Randolph Hearst shall be turned down

from the Eleventh District. Mr.. Hearst
wants a denomination and will make a
fight for what he believes to be his right
to a second term. He desires to retain
his seat in the House that he may fur
Their his plans for 1908.
"The reason for Charles F. Murphy's
reported desire to have Mr. Hearst
turned down lies largely in the attitude
which has been assumed by the Hearst
newspapers in attacking Murphy and
Mcclellan. The Hearst managers have
represented to Murphy that unless
Hearst is renominated the Tammany
leader will have to face the opposition
Of Hearst's papers and interests. In re.
turn Mr.. Murphy is said to have told
the managers that he never had the
friendship Of Hearst and his newspapers
aud that no opportunity has been lost to
attack the present, as well as the Croker.
regime in Tammany Hall, aud that
Mcclellan had been subjected to un-
just criticisms.
Hearst believes that he has an ex.
cellent chance to win a denomination,

when the Democrats held their prima

and at least 6 of the IL are hand
in glove with the saloon and gambling
element. The delegates thus selected to
the State Convention at Winnemucca
were elected almost unanimously. Car
riages were run to and from the voting
place all day. and every hobo, tramp,
mack and rounder in the town were
given a free ride to vote for the demon

in many instances. this procedure was
not followed. Reno is one of the places.
The Silver men claim $50 votes in this
city. Yet the Central Committee did
not see fit to call primaries. Instead,
Chairman Rolf, who is also Senator
from washoe County. and editor of the
Nevada Observer, called q meeting OF the
Committee and appointed IL delegates
to the Convention. This in itself perhaps
would not be so bad were it not for the
fact that there are three candidates seek
ing the Democratic Silver party nomi.
nation for Supreme Judge. One of the
candidates is an avowed supporter of
the reform movement and naturally the
anti reformers feel as if a Job" las
been successfully carried out. 1t is al.
most a certainty that the IL delegates
win support the reform candidate, who
is B. F. Curler, at present Judge of the
District Court. The other candidates
are Bartine and Belknap. The Silver
men who oppose Curler now threaten to
call primaries and elect another ticket.
The delegates will be sent to Winnie

FOUR CHILDREN
BURNED TO DEATH.
The Mother Had Not Been Away
From the House to Exceed
Ten Minutes.
OLDEST CHILD ONLY
FIVE YEARS OF ACE.
Nothing Only Burnt Flesh and Charred
Bones Left When Taken from the
EmberS.

On Tuesday last the home Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Wesley Switzler, six miles west
and three miles north of Alma, was
burned to the ground, their four little
children perishing in the flames.
The mother had gone to neighbor S,
only two or three rods distant, where
she had not been longer than five or ten
minutes when she was horified to dis
cover her home in flames. She at once
thought of the children, boy aged five,
little girl three years old, and twin
babies between one and two years of
age, whom she had left in the house,
and rushed 70 their rescue, but the fire
had already shut off all possible means
of entrance and only kind interference
of neighbors restained her from throw
ing herself into the flames in a vain
effort TO save those whom she loved and
undoubtedly were past all earthly care.
The father was working in what is
know as Wonders mill, only few rods
distant, and almost as soon as the mother
saw the fire. In company with his
fellow employees he hastened to the
rescue of his home only TO discover that
more than his home was TO be the irre-
parable loss. The house was an old mill
shanty and consequently not very sub.
stantial, therefore quickly burning to
the ground, whereupon what remained
of the four little bodies was discovered
where they had fallen to the floor to-
gether when overcome by the heat and
smoke. They were terribly burned until
nothing more than small portion Of
the flesh remained upon their charred
bones.
The father and mother are completely
prostrated with grief over the sad affair
and have the sympathy OF the entire
neighborhood in their afiliction.
1t is not known how the fire originated
but it is supposed TO have been burning
before the mother left the house, owing
to the fact that it had reached such
headway when discovered. The build
ing was owned by Mr.. Smith, of st.
Louis. 1t was merely boarded up on
the outside in common with all mill
shanties Of that nature, and the interior
was made warmer by several layers of
building paper, the whole making a
veritable tinder box.

tracks near Ashley were covered for
several miles and several small bridges
were washed out, but Monday morning
trains were running nearly on schedule

On the Pere Marquette, this branch
has only one train each way during the
day, and it is considered lucky that such
is the case. This train happened to be
between Lowell and Pains Junction
when the tracks were swept away at
those points and now it makes regular
trips from Hemlock to Lowell and return

Declining Birth Rate.

The continued decline Of the birth
rate in England has begun to arouse
apprehension of the nations future
In 1866 the birth rate was 35.2 pei
1000. By 1900 it had fallen to 29.2,
and by 1901 to 28.5.
Attention was called to the matter
in the Registrar Generals last annual
report, issued in June, 1903, which
pointed out that the birth rate was
then the lowest on record, while in.
fantile mortality was s%tartlingly high.
DR.. Shardwell, in a recent lecture al
Sion College, showed that the decline
especially pertained to industrial cen
tres. In England generally it is among
the middle classes that the birth rate
shows the most serious decline. In
Australia the working classes are the
pioneers of restricted families.

Disease Spots on Fruit.

Writes a farmer to The Epitomlst:
Il have found that from trees with
their roots deep in the subsoil, even
if they fruit freely, neither apples
nor pears satisfy, because disease spots
develop in the fruit when they are on
the verge Of %ripening, if not before,
rendering them of no value, because
decay so quickly sets in. To have
good fruit, either of apples or pears,
the roots of the trees must be active
surface. f1brous ones, otherwise the
crop will be much reduced in value.
Some sorts r greater offenders than
others, it is true, but ever the best can
be readily spoiled if the conditions are
not right" ..
