Bloody Battles.

| Inc series OF DalllcS III WHICH lhS
Japanese and Russians have engaged
about the approachesto Port Arthur,
have been of the most furious and
bloody nature. The Russians were
behind Notifications that were
deemed almost impregnable. There
they had all kinds of modern imple-
ments of destruction, manned by a
large force of experienced and brave
men, ready to surrender their lives
for their country at their country's
call.
These fortresses and defenses of
various kinds were stormed repeat
eddy by the undaunted Japanese
soldlery. At the first charge it is
said every man in the charging
column was shot down. But other
columns were forced to the front
and as fast as the ranks were thinned
by the hail of bullets they were re-
plenished by fresh men and constant
advance was made by the determln-
ed laps till it became a hand to
hand struggle and the Russians were
compelled to retreat before the over
whelming numbers of their active
and wiley foe.
The heights were covered and
the trenches filled with the dead
and dying soldiers of both armies,
closely intermingled. Five thou
sand men are said to have been
killed or wounded in these two
armies in these fights.
The Russians seem to have been
thoroughly whipped as they remov-
ed nothing from the field and seem
now to have abandoned Dalney, the
next, and last fortified position be
tween the victorious Japinese army
and Port Arthur. The next move
of the Japs will be on the strong
Notifications Immediately around
Port Arthur, where a most sangaln.
airy battle is likely to be fought.
Port Arthur is the Russian strong
hold in the far east and it is said to
be as strongly fortified as modern
skill and engineering can fortify a
place. Russia for several years has
poured out her treasure and EN-
ployed her most skilIful engineers
and militery men to render Port
Arthur as nearly impregnable- as
possible. frt ..-L.H .U
| The Notifications are supplied
with modern guns of all kinds and
are supposed to be defended by
about 40, 900 men, including the
marines and sailors from the Rus
sian feet in the harbor. Yet, with
all this formidable array of defense

thoroughly bombarded for time,
the Japanese will hurl column after
column of determined men against
these Notifications, regardless ofthe
loss of life, till by mere force OF
numbers they sweep over the breast
works in overpowering numbers and
force the remnant of the Russian
defenders to surrender.
The slaughter will be something
terrific if this plan is followed.
The Russian machineguns, shrap
mel and magazine rifle fire will be
something terrific and thousands OF
the brave laps will never live to
reach the breastworks, but thous
ands more will swarm over their
PROSTATE bodies and on through
this rain of hell over the bitches
through and up the entertainments
to be met by the phalanx of Rus
sian bayonets. Still they will come
pouring on, fresh men eager for the
FRAY and the worn and decimated
garrison will be swept from the
field with awful slaughter.
The cost to Japan will be enor-
nous, but the victory will be great.
She will then control the whole
peninsula with its Notifications.
The fine harbor for rendesvou
and base and the seas will be clear
ed of menacing Russian fleets.
The conditions seem to be such
that Japan must make the offering,
of thousands of her brave men to
the god of war on this one field.
But probably it is better so.
One decisive battle in which 10,
900 men are killed seems horrid to
contemplate, yet it is no more SO
than long drawn out campaign
where sickness and disease join
hands with the bullet and the bomb
and an equal or greater number are
lost in a few months.
The country is now fairly hold
ing its breath, waiting for the NIGH
ty clash to come.
If Japan is not victorious it will
not be for want of sympathy IN this
county. The genius and push of
the laps and the righteousness of
their cause have appealed to every
American heart that loves honor
and fairness and glories in patriot
ism and love of home and country.
The best wishes and prayers of
America are with the valiant Jap

Drill That is Down 700 Feet is
BEGINNING to Find Things
Holt, Mo-, May 29.-(Special.
About month ago number OF the
enterprising citizens of Holt organ
lied and Incorporated the MISSOURI
Oil, Gas and Coal company, for the
purpose of prospecting. Leases were
secured on several thousand acres, OF
land adjoining the town and a drill
outfit from the Chanute oil fields
employed.
At depth of 200 feet strong flow
of gas was struck. which, in the
orinion of the drillers, who have
drilled many wells in the Chanute
district, was sufficient to supply flfty
families with light and fuel. AS the
depth increases the flow Of gas gets
correspondingly stronger and 1t has
been used as fuel for creating power
for the drill,
at about 700 feet oil IN considerable
quantities, was struck and the drill
ing still continues, and will probably
be continued until a depth of 1,S0O
or 200 feet is reached, unless some
thing of commercial Importance Is
found sooner.
The citizens of Holt and communi-
ty are highly elated as a result OF
their discovery, as. if no Oil is found,
gas wells will Immediately be sunk in
various parts of the community and
the gas used for fuel and light, which
will save thousands of dollars annually
to the inhabitants, besides adding
much to their convenience and COM
fort.
A representative of an Ohio oil and
gas company was here few days ago
and made arrangements to do some
prospecting on large scale in the
near future. e..f .Hlt
Enthusiasm ia at high pitch, and

munity.-Kansas City Journal.
London, May 31.-Two of the strong
est oil companies are in conflict here.
In their efforts to crush each other
they are making enormous sacrifices
in favor of customers. Within the
last ten days the price of petroleum
has fallen in the case of the London
retailer from six and three-quarters
cents gallon to prices varying from
five cents to five and three-quarters
ceuts gallon. The latest and most
drastic cut 10 the price was made by
the Anglo American company, the
moving spirit of which is John ID.
Rockefeller. The Anglo-American
company is an English offshot of the
American Standard OH company, 1t
meets a stubborn opponent In the
present struggle in the Shell Trans
port and Trading company, which
seeks to maintain British interests,
The two companies are old rivals for
the oil trade of Europe. A bitter light
to control the market is looked for.
