Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1904-01-21

A Kentucky reader sends to The
Commoner a circular issued in be-
half of one of the candidates for
the Democratic nomination in 1900,
in which circular, referring to this
candidate it was said: "He was
not entirely in sympathy with the
Democratic platforms of 1896 and
of 1900, but he supported the Dem
ocratic ticket in both of these dis
astrous contests, and stood by the
party" This Kentucky reader
adds: 81 have no patience with a
man who seeks a Democratic nomi-
nation on the ground that he has
not agreed with the party. We
made a great fight in 1896 and
again in 1900, and polled more
votes than were ever polled by the
party before. 1t does not seem to
me that a man who thinks the
efforts we then made were disas-
trous is the proper man to lead the
party to victory

landslide that he is indulging in mag
unanimous language toward everybody
who had opposed the Judges nomina-

"Tammany certainly has acted
handsomely since it has been here, -
said Mr.. Sheehan, without relaxing a

Nicholas Bells WAY.

One of the interesting figures of
the convention is Nicholas Bell, who
used to be reading clerk of the Demo-

old delegate to tell story of the con-

an enthusiastic Bayard man. AS
clerk it was his duty to announce the
votes. He would announce in abrisll,
businesslike, conversational voice,

There was trouble in q village in

Igorrote maiden was srievously i'll

Finally young physician who is
doing duty ct the Red Cross head
quarters arrived, and for time even
he was puzzled. At last, however, he
diagnosed the case. He pronounced
it Bins conclusion of the brain.
He discovered in one of the maiden S
ears a Hearst button, and in the other
a Parker button. both manufactured
by Bin The ingenious maiden had
managed to convert the button into
earrings by bending the pins, and
the proximity of each to her senSl-
tive brain had produced almost fatal
results The earrings were promptly
removed and at last accounts she
was resting easily.

The Lafayette of America.

a little man, with silk hat and a

against a pillar. He raised in the air
"a placard fastened to a stick, and on
which, written in ink, was this:
The Lafayette of America, Prof.
Lion " Won Hoorbeke formerly of

Hour after hour the Lafayette Of

tifcation card aloft by its handle. He
was constantly the center Of a grin

nor did he utter a word. His hand
was steady as rock, although he
never changed his attitude or moved

gave that he was not statue.

The Discontinue of creeIman.

James Creelman. the bosom friend

LIAO-YANG,S DEFENCES.
Position Strongly Fortified, but
Kuro pathin's Defeat Expected

Berlin, Aug. 29.--German military men are
discussing the situation Of General Kuropatkh
with the keenest interest They have informa-
tion that the defences of Lieo-Yang are OF ex-
traordiDary strength.
The fortifying of the town intrusted to
General Melishtko who enjoys here the reputa-
ton Of being a master Of military engineering
In the last two months he has fortified all the
strategic positions around Liao-Yang so as to
make them wenigh impregnable. Triple lines
of trenches crown every height where artillery
could be effective. Passages connect the entire
line of fortifcations for facilitating the rein
forcement of endangered points, while bomb
proofs covered with steel rails protect reserves.
All important points have teegraphc commu-
nication with headquarters.
The German critics think Liao-Yangs defences
a bout equallze the difference in numbers be-
tween the Russians. estimated at 10000, and
the Japanese numbering 100000. The danger
of General Kuropatkins situation is in being
bottled up like Field Marshal Bazaine who sur
rendered Metz to the German forces In lS'o
II is doubted by the experts If General huro-
patkin will be able to prevent the complete en-
rtrcling of Lao Yang which would mean, prob
ably the eventual loss of his entire army. The
Japanese delay is believed to have been due TO
the necessity of bringing up siege guns with
which to break the Russian fortifications.
