What the Grange is Doing.

You ask what the grange is doing. IL
makes a social, intellectual center for
the rural community. 1t aids the church
in fostering good morals and the state
in making good citizens. 1t overcomes
the isolation of country life and supple
ments the work of the public schools.
Ii teaches the farmer to transact busi-
ness in a business way, to defend his
interests at the polls and to advocate
them before political conventions and
state and national legislatures. 1t
teaches him to have a clear estimate OF
his lust share of the wealth he produces
and of the public burdens he should
bear. and not to be content with in
Justice on either hand. Thus 1T seeks
to make the farmer prosperous, in
telligent, independent, conservative
citizen.
In a country like this, where 40 pei
cent of the people live on farms and hall
of all the people who work till the SOIL
il the farmer is prosperous, and hence
intelligent and contented, who mas
occasion to fear for the permanency OF
our institutions? Does any one care to
forecast the future if agriculture and the
agriculturist decline? The grange seeks
TO educate and elevate the American
farmer, and in this 1t asks the sympathy
and cooperation of all lovers OF theii
country.-Cor. in Tribune Farmer.

Before the opening of hostilities all the
newspaper editors in japan were sum-
moned to Toxic and notified by the
police superintendent that they should
not publish any news OF the war, either
official or unofficial If they violated the
order they were to be arrested and dealt
with according to law.
In Japan there IS little outward APP
pearance OF great war. Troops are
being quietly moved, but no one knows
where they are going. We passed sew
eral transports loaded with soldiers,~evi-
IDENTIFY ON their way to Korea. The
Nippon Maru steamed out with a load of
troops, and with formidable guns,
mounted fore and aft, while we we're
there.
THE railroads are in use constantly
for the transportation of troops. People
who wanted to go into the interior were
informed that they would be taken only
at their own risk. The road is the I'm
perial Japanese railway, and is controlled
by the government. The rolling stock IS
required now exclusively for the trans
portation OF troops and supplies and
private individuals cannot be accommo-

the Japanese victory at Port Arthur-in
sinking the Russian feet. This was in
the form OF an official report from the
admiral and was made public. The for
eigners at the Kobe club decided to cele-
brate the victory and we marched
the principal streets headed by
the Kobe band and shouting about the
victory. The Japanese people were inl-
i / IL
joined in the Notification, shooting off
frecrackers and sending tip rockets.
But as to news of the war nothing
is given out. excepting just exactly what
the Japanese government wishes TO have
made public. No cipher cablegrauls are
allowed to be sent out, no matter on
what pretext."

GIVE CARDS
AND SPADES
Steward johnson Tells
of Japanese Move
mentS.

Chief Steward Johnson of the steam
ship Siberia witnessed the mobilization
of japanese troops in Nagasaki, and
describes the scene as one of-almost I'M
paralleled ability in the management of
soldiers armed and equipped for the
front
While the Siberia was in port nearly
twenty. thousand troops were marched
through the streets to the docks and
embarked on transports, the feet leav-
ing for an unknown destination. For
more than two hours Steward Johnson
watched the marching troops, struck
with the wonderful discipline.
''The Japanese can give cards and
spades to all nations in enbarking their
men on transports" said he yesterday.
The school children lined the streets
on that day, and it was a scene more of
gladness than of sadness, for not tear
was shed, no grief was apparent, and
every body seemed keyed up TO send the
troops off with light instead of heavy
hearts Now and then woman would
press the hand of husband, son or
brother, or possibly sweetheart, but 1t
was a Joyous godspeed. Laughter could
be heard on all sides. II was an I'M
posing, patriotic spectacle.
while the infantry were marching
down the street, cavalry passed them
going in the opposite direction, but
there was no confusion, no disorder.
Everything moved like clockwork. When
they arrived at the docks, the men
were halted, and an officer counted his
men. Then signal would be given and
company after company went aboard
swiftly and without confusion.
Every man carried two overcoats, or

FLYING JORDANS WERE
MADE PRISONERS OF WAR
Famous Athletic Women. Now on Siberia, Left

| Four prisoners of war taken by the

their capture, are aboard the Siberia

Mrs. Jordan and Miss Nellie Jordan
more Familiarity known the world over
as the Flying Jordans'" and two little
Russian boys who are their protegees.
The auartette were in Vladivostok just
before the war broke out between Rus
sian and Japan. and owing to the near
prospect OF war they deemed it wise to
leave Russian territory and return to
the United States.
Mrs. Jordan had received cable
gram from Mr. Jordan about the first
of February instructing her to dispose
OF the circus TO the best advantage and
leave by the first vessel for Japan. The
circus was sold at fair price, belong
ings were packed and on February 3
the company went aboard the Russian
steamer Shilka, the last Russian pas
Senger vessel to leave before the war
broke out The two Russian boys, who
diC ~ DC II d1iiCu d. were WIFI
them. The Shilka had little difficulty
stearning out from Vladivostok as the
ice was breaking up. At a. m, Feb
ruary 6. the Shilka dropped her anchor
at Nagasaki. The vessel was imme-
diately boarded by Japanese officials,
including military officers, and to their
surprise Mrs. Jordan and her daughter
found they were prisoners of war, al
though war had not broken out
he two women were taken for Rus
slams, as the two boys were unmis-
takably Russian in appearance, dress
and speech. Throughout that day the
Japanese guards patrolled TIE vessel
and no one was permitted to leave to
go ashore. Shortly after 7 o'clock in
the evening an order came for their
release, and the quartette went ashore,
and made arrangements for returning
to the United States. (
Mrs Jordan says that from subse- :
quent events, the Japanese thought it
wise to detain all passengers on board,
as Japanese warshiDs were undoubtedly
making preparations at Sasebo to de-
part on their memorable and victorious
expedition against the Russian Port
Arthur fleet. and they probably desired
that no word of their movements should
get to them.

ONE WAY TO CUT
DOWN EXPENSES

Editor Advertiser: The American
system of government is flexible
enough to adapt itself to great varie-
ty of circumstances and conditions
to States, to fully organized Territories,
to Federal district government, to a
transition period regime like that
which existed in Hawaii between 1898
and 1900; and to a half-organized terri
tory like Alaska, to insular govern
ments like those of Porto Rico and the
Philippines and to naval governments
like those of Guam and Tutuila.
In brief, whatever the condition is,
the American government can be made
to lit it.
Hence if the people of Hawaii We're
so disposed, as a measure of economy,
they could probably induce Congress
to amend the Organic Act So as to
change the Territorial government to
a mere skeleton form costing nothing
but the salary of the Governor and
Secretary, and vesting all its duties of
expenditure and its utilities in sim
gle county, the latter to be governed
by a Board of Supervisors, one MEM
Der of the Board for each island. This
would abolish the Legislature and most
of the offices and cut expenses below
income. The delegate in Congress,
whom the United States pays, would
he kept. The Governor and Secretary
would have little to do but make their
to the Secretary of the Interior
and return calls from dignitaries.

tin of the United States Navy at the
Alexander Young Hotel yesterday. Il

They soon located his home and
while Jim Taylor and another man
guarded the house Mr.. Duff came
down in town and reported the
matter to Chief McCown, who sent
out and arrested the infamous
scoundrel. The negro admitted
the above state of facts to be true,
but said he did not intend to hurt
the girl. The negro was taken to
the county jail and kept a few min
utes and secretly taken out and
put aboard a north bound passen-
ger train and taken to Ironton and
placed in Jail for safe keeping.
The negro is a dirty, filthy looking
scoundrel and is known to be a
lazy good-for-nothing scoundrel.
1t is getting pretty far along
when a father can not leave his
little motherless daughter at home
without her being assaulted by
such a brute in human form.
Shortly after the arrest had been
made much talk of lynching the
negro could be heard on the streets
and but for the quick work of the
officials a black brute would have
been dangling at the end of a rope
next morning. Lynch law is a
bad thing and should be discour-
aged in many cases, but we can
not imagine a punishment too Sc
we're for such an infamous act as
the brute admits to doing"
