fragmentary, indicating that nothing
more than a continuance OF prepara-
tions for the great" battle is being
done This battle, it now seems like
", will occur to the north of NIukden
in the neighborhood of Tie Ling, on
the shores of the Lao river.
The japanese have completed their
work of bridging the Taiste; and are
now concerned with improving the
railway communications across ko-
rea and Manchusria TO Lao Yang, so
as to be in a position to rush rein
forcements and supplies at will to the
army in the field. The Russians are
awaiting the onslaught with their
forces distributed at the Hun river,
at Mukden and at Tie Ling. 1t is be-
lieved, should the Japanese attack
the advance at the Hun river, they
will gradually fall back, If hard press
ed, and join the force at Mukden, and
with these continue on north to Tie
Ling, for the final stand.
Considerable confusion prevails at
headquarters as to the composition of
the new armies and the choice of COM
manders. 1t is again reported that
the Car will go to the Far East and
take command of the forces.

BISHOP FOWLER
NOT COMING
MEETING OF KINGS DAUGHTERS
DECIDE SOME INTERESTING
AND IMPORTANT
QUESTIONS.

special meeting of the Isabelle
Davis and Loyal Circles OF Kings
Daughters, was held Saturday even
ling at the home of Mrs. Worth Flenl-
ling. The business under discussion
was that of bringing to this city
Bishop Fowler to give his wonderful
lecture on Lincoln. A large represen-
tation was present, and the subject
was earnestly discussed by all before
the final decision was reached, and
3 1T was unanimously agreed that the
Undertaking be dropped and the
Bishop was notified by telegram that
those planning his coming considered
%expedient to postpone the lecture
before our people until some more IA
4.vorab1e time. The expenses connect
sSed with the enterprise We're large, and
ii was considered too great risk to
shoulder the financial responsibility
sat this time. To those who are ac
Squainted with the merits of the lee
ture, this decision will cause deep re-
gret, but our city has yet to acquire
the desirable reputation of patron
Epr connoisseur of literature. There
are a number here who appreciate
9sand enjoy to the full the best litera-
ture, the fine addresses and the good
acting with which we are occasionally
Favored, but the number is compare
lively SO small that no encourage |
ment is given to bring these dis
esinguished people into our midst, and
sthe few who know they are able to

not in condition to appreciate the best
eirings in life, we should begin our
education in that direction at once,
and the young people of the city
should be given the opportunity to
hear and see these things at home,
SO that when they are questioned by
strangers they will not blush for
sEheir ignorance and the low standard
of home art and literature.
The Y. M. G. A. will sell tickets for
;a@lecture course this winter, and upon
the success of this sale and the pat
ronage accorded these high-class con-
;certs and lectures, great deal will
1t should be considered
duty to attend such things, and what
at first is regarded as a duty will
shortly become a very necessary
pleasure.
q But to go back to the consultation
of the Kings Daughters and their
plans for defraying the expenses of
the coming State convention, since
the lecture was, no doubt, wisely
abandoned, other ways must be
thought of and at last it was agreed
to wait until the general meeting this
in the NJ. E. Church before
deciding definitely what was to be,
done. The advisability of large eX-
change was discussed, and if the Wig ]
liant circle will combine their efforts
with that of the other two circles, it is
hoped to hold such an exchange, as
our city has not hitherto been favored
with, and such an one as will bring JOY
to the heart of every housewife.
Cakes, pies, bread, salads and fancy
dishes of every description will await
their choice. Tomorrow full an

SWELL PARTY.
Was the one Given BY the Rathbons Sisters
At the Opera House Last Might.

ThelRathbone Sisters fully sustain
ed their enviable reputation as enter
tainers by the party given under their
auspices at the opera house last night.
IL was without question the SWEETEST
and most successful affair that the
city has witnessed this season and the
members OF the lodge were the re-
cipient Of many tine compliments from
their guests during the evening
The most noticeable part OF the at
I lir were the decorations made TO set
off the ball room. They were pretty
and unique, exceeding, In effect, in the
opinion OF all, the decorations of last
year.
The ball room proper was complete
ly cut of from the entrance by line
OF portiers hung about 90 feet from
the stage. To the left of the space
between this improvised partition
and the rear wall, was room, also
made OF protier partitions, for the
ladies toilet and i'm IL were mirrors
and other furniture that gave IL the
appearance OF a lady's boudoir Sur
mounting the PORTER partition, fes-
looming was hung in folds across the
room, completely shutting off the
rear portion OF the hall from the ball
room proper. Across the stage, lace
curtains were hastily draped SO as to
shut off the dining room from the ball
room. The side walls were covered
with flags and bunting sprinkled here
and there with branches OF evergreen.
Extending out from each side wall at
intervals OF about fifteen feet were
canopies OF bunting in the colors OF
the order, white, blue, yellow and red.
Radiating out from between these
short canopies were long lines OF crepe
paper that hung from the chandelier
to the walls and formed an almost
complete covering. The paper had
heen cut in different shapes, and
colorcd figures had been pasted there
on, making an array OF the flags OF the
nations. Studded here and there all
over the room we're Japanese lanterns
and, 10 set off the decorations TO the
best advantage, colored globes had
been secured for the electric lights.
The music was furnished by Pro-
fessor Dan Dewey's orchestra.

Menominee has organized base
ball club and is going after the cham
pionship of the range. Well probab-
ly see the beet sugar crowd on the

The 500 is liable To surprise the cop
per country bunch this summer not
withstanding the fact that Joe Camel
and his herd has been located beside

The 500 sports have started after good
material hot foot and they are gather
ing in lot OF it.
Copper country pugs will be out in
force on the evening of April 10th
when a prize fight will be pulled off at
the Amphidrome at Houghton. The
contest will be between Haynes and
Lawler colored heavy weights and
Duggan and Burns middle weights.
VIII Brand, TO whom the work Of
gathering the proposed Portage Lake
team has been delegated, says that the
task is a hard one owing TO the fact
that base ball talent is in big demand
all over the country.
Calumet is in the air yet as to the
personnel OF its club. Several OF last
years aristocrats will appear in pro-
fessional ball this year In different
parts OF the country. This leaves a
big hole which the Calumet manage
ment tried to fill by stuffing the
Dollar Bay club into but the plan mis-
carried and Calumet fans are now
holding their hands over the hole UNI
I'll they find more useful chinking for
IL.

About the most striking thing that
met the reporters eye on the occasion
OF his last visit TO Amasa was Captain
Chas. Hughes and X. Rasmussen's ef-
forts TO catch the Hemlock mules In
the big pasture east Of the office.
The Hemlock company uses mules tor
underground tramming and OCCASION
ally one Is brought TO surface and let
feed In the green pastures and enjoy
the sunlight for a term. 1t can be
easily imagined how much mule
would object TO breaking off one Of
these sunlight baths for the gloomy
atmosphere Of the subterranean pass
ages OF the mine and the mule in
question was using all his persuasive
powers TO maintain his position on
the upper deck. He was finally cap
tnred.

DeBois and Son go to Trial.

Mr.. DeBois and son, who are
accused of burglarizing seaside
cottages and who were brought
for safe keeping to Corvallis be-
cause the Lincoln county Jail was
deemed unsafe, were taken to To-
ledo, Saturday, to appear there
in the July term of the Circuit
Court on the above named charge.
Mr.. DeBois especially has been
very impatient during confine-
ment, owing probably to the fact
that he has a wife and several
small children who are deprived
o. their main support by his con-
fnement. There is strong evil
dence against him, but he seems
to have been driven to his deed
by dire necessity. The articles
stolen consist of sheets, pillow
cases and blankets and a suit of
clothes. These things he put in
to box and buried it in his front
yard. When the authorities
came to search the premises they
found a garden growing over the
spot where he had planted the
box.
1t seems a very unfortunate
case indeed as the previous re-
cord has been an exemplary one.
It is said that he was at one time
a minister, which would make
the case all the more sad. There
seems to be no doubt Of the
! fathers guilt. The mercy ofthe
court, which under the circum-
stances would seem we'll bestowed
may probably be the only thing
that will save him from serving
/ a sentence. -,

Good Roads for Benton.

We feel assured that practical
results will be accomplished be-
: fore the rainy season sets in, in
the matter of good county roads.
While in many places good ma
.terial can not be had for con-
,struction and foundation work,
yet commendable work, is being
done with such material as is at
hand. In places where stone and
gravel can be secured the super
visors are doing excellent work.
II often happens, however, that
fir bush and poles are the only
h material to be had and the level
i ing of last winters ruts is all that
can be done.
We feel sure with the material
at hand and the difficulties en-
countered and thelimited amount
of money with which TO meet
them, the presentcorps of county
road supervisors will be second to

A. L. McFadden, formerly an
attorney of this place, who was
sued some time ago by ]. B.
Tillotson, of Portland, on the
charge of the unlawful securing
of money and was acquitted in
the recent term of the State Cir
cult Court, has now brought suit
against Tillotson for damages
amounting to $Io, 900. Mr.. Nc
Fadden was formerly employed
by TIllotson as bookkeeper.
Tillotson is a prominent con-
tractor of Portland.
In his complaint McFadden
alleges that on January Is, 1904,
he was arrested at Chitwood, at
the instigation of Tillotson, on a
charge of forging and unlawfully
indorsing a bank check. He was
brought to Portland aud confined
in the city Jail, and was released
on $1,000 bonds. He AYERS that
his arrest was due to malice and
with intent to injure him, aud
says there was no probable cause
for the preferment of a charge
against him. Besides the $Io,
900 damages asked, McFadden
seeks to recover the sum OF $438,
the cost of his trial and attorneys
and witness fees.
