JAPAN'S SEA FIGHTERS
Modern Spartans Who Have
 Stood the Test of War.
MINDFUL OF DUTY EVEN IN DEATH
Deeds of HerOfsm During the ChinO- Jnpanese War That Depict the Fighting Qualities of the Mikado's Omcers and Men-RiEid Discipline and Perfect Order Maintained Dur- ing Action.

In comparing the strength of the Russian and Japanese fleets in the far east no account has been taken of the fighting qualities of the men behind the guns, says tie New York Press.
 It is difficult to estimate the merits of the Russiaps, for they have never been tested in marine warfare, but with the Japanese navy it is different. The officers and men have stood the test of war most creditably. In no naval battles in history were deeds of heroism more comm II chan during the Chino-Japanese war. The Japanese recount hundreds of them and so do the foreign officers and newspaper correspondents who were with the rival navies during that war. Here are few of the most striking stories which show the sort of men who make up the crews of Japan's warships:
 At the sea fight off Haizang known as the battle of Yalu--the Chi- nese ironclads Ting Yuen and Chen Yuen were far superior in armament and size to any vessels in the Japanese
 fleet Every Japanese officer and sail or was keen on destroying them and one of the vessels was hit over 300 times.
 Two Japanese, on different ships, asked with their dying breath. Has the Ting Yuen sunk yet?" One was @
 marine on the flagship Matsushima. He had received ten wounds and was 1; horribly burned. Tn reply to his ques- tion, his captain told him that the Ting Yuen was disabled and they were about to attack the Chen Yuen. He smiled with joy and died. The other man was a seaman on the Akagi.
 When told that the Ting Yuen was on
 fire, he cried, We have her at lastv and expired.
 Japanese sailors are mindful of their duty evea in the agony of death. At Haizang an armorer named Kujuro on the Itsukushima was mortally wound ed As he lay dying on the deck he drew key from his pocket and waved his hand until one of his comrades came to him.
 Here is the key to the tool chest in the torpedo tube room,' he said. Give It to the officer in charge of the chest. am dying, and if it could not be found great trouble and confusion would arise."
 Then he rolled over and died. Haizang produced innumerable heroic deeds. 'There were so many casual
 ties> that the co1pses could not be car i.icd below" said Lieutenant Kimura

STILL DENYING.

Our friends, the Republicans, are in
desperate straights. This entire cam
paign promises to BE- one OF denial.
Mr.. Roosevelt by his "strain- uosity'
has made great trouble for his unwill-
ing defenders and supporters. The
latest thing is the questioning of the
identity of Henry Baker and the gen.
uineness of the Washington Post letter,
and some little fellow has actually de-
MED that the incident OF the white girl
and colored boy took place in Chicago.
Now let some fleeing Republican deny
that Booker Washington dined at the
White house, and that Mr.. Roosevelt
turned down white woman in favor
OF n negro, and that the Hon. Camp
bell Slemp voted for a negro rs against
a crippled white man. The boys are
on the defensive this time, and in their
desperation there is no telling what
may bc said and done.

Rush F. CaudiII Shot
by Negro.

II. +. Caudill. son OF Mr.. and Mr..
j. b. Cau1ill, OF this town, was shot by
a negro. at Davy, West Virginia. on
last Saturday night week, from the
effects OF which be died week later, at
the Hospital at WEIGH. The remains
We're brought here last Sunday morn
ing and buried in the new cemetery i'm
the afternoon. The funeral and burial
services were conducted by Rev. Geo.
Buston Besides the members OF his
fathers family he leaves young wife
to whom he was married short time
ago.
The untimely death OF yonng Candill
was particularly sad. He was shot by
drunken, worthless negro, without
any provocation whatever. Caudill
met the negro accidentally, at Davy,
early Saturday night, who asked him
for match. Caudill replied politely,
that he would give him match IL he
had one, and felt for 1t in his pocket,
when the negro pulled a gun and shot
him. The ball entered the bowels aud
passed through the liver, and was ex-
tracted from his back.
Ii appears from the best authority
that the negro mistook Caudill for an
other man whom he Iesembled, and
with whom the negro had a difficulty
just before the shooting. The negro,
whose name is Meese refused to pay
for saucer OF ice cream, and was
forced to DO so at the point Of pistol,
and became very angry. He was a dope
fiend, and full OF liquor at the time, and
the only reason which can be given for
the shooting is that he mistook Caudill
for the young man who forced him TO
pay the bill. The negro is in Jail, and
will be tried for his life.
Young Caudill was reared in this
town, and was bright energetic young
fellow. His death has caused great
sorrow to his family, and his friends.
