Communicated NINTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT.
M. M. Smith Is Still in the Race.

To the voters in the democratic primary, Ninth judicial circuit:
 Owing to an accident occurring near Blount Springs on Thursday. a runaway in which my left arm was fractured q painful but not serious or permanent in jury. my campaign for the solocitorship of the Ninth judicial circuit has been brought to a sudden termination.
 The circumstance, unexplained, might possibly lead some of my friends to be . lieve that l have withdrawn from the race for the nomination; As such is not the case I take this means of informing the public that I am stlll Tn the fight though personally confined to a. hospital for the next few days.
 To my friends and supporters wish 10 add that I am now more than ever de- pendent upon their loyalty and aid at the polls, and that I will rely the more upon their active co operation by reason of this misfortune. M. NJ. SMITH.

ing about 100000 men, the second army landing west of the Yalu river, and the third army southeast of Newchuang.
 The landing of a heavy Japanese force west of the Yalu's mouth Is expected to force the Russians to abandon the forti- fications they have built north of the Yalu to oppose the crossing of the river by Japans first army from Corea.
 The Japanese, it is reported, have lan- ded q force already in Manchuria. at Takushan, to the east of Newchang, and consequently in the rear of the Rus sans.
 The Russians deny, officially. that Jap anese troops are in Manchura. One mans guess Is as good as another E. provided the other is not on the Japanese general staff-as to where Japans sec ond and third armies will attack.
 As to the number of Russian troops in the theatre of war. At the beginning of the war there were a garrison st Port Arthur and Valdivosstok and a certain number of troops in Mukden, Harbin and otheri centers. On March 9 the Rus sian government announced officially to the senate that up to that date 100000 troops had been transported over the Siberian railway. According to the Rus sian 4000 troops a day are arriving at Mukden. The Japanese believe that Russia cannot maintain more than 300.000 troops; that the country cannot provide nor the railway transport, sustnance for more. On the other hand, Prince Khil- koff the Russian Minister of railway, who has returned to St Petersburg from lake Buikal, declares that the railway Is working at only half its capacity.
 It needs no profit to say that the first great battle will be formed when each eid tbfpka ifcalf of xxyinp Much depends. During her solemn as- surances of neutrality fckle China may declare herself an ally of the victor in the first great land battle.

The Position of Women in Japan.

Onotono Watanna whose knowledge of the Japanese acquired at first hand, contributes a readable ana informingg article on .Everyday Life in Japan to the current Harper's Weekly, in whlch she writes entertainingly of the manners and customs of the Mikados peopie-their home life, their habits their traditions. Speaking of the Japanese women, she controyerts the widespread belief. among western nations that they are simply slaves to their husbands, little petter than upper servants in their househoius, If she is a slave, says, the writer, sne is a very happy slave and her lot IS an enyiable one The husband takes upon his shoulders the burden of business and leaves her with the children. She shares in their joys and is as innocent as they. Rut she does not conhde ones deepest thoughts. ones dearest hopes and am bitions to ones slave One does not earnestly listen to and heed the advice of ones slave: one does not unquestion- inely gives one's children into the, hands Of one's slave, nor does one cherish ones slaves as a pearl. So the Japanese ~o- man is a very happy slave

Terminal Railways Must Pay
for Cars Lost in Flood.
Will Cost Santa Fe and Rock
Island Some Money.
CAUSE is IMMATERIAL.
"Act of God" Does Not Consti-
tuto a Defense.
May Affect Pending Lawsuits for
Lost Freight.
CAUSE is IMMATERIAL.

The arbitration committee of the
American Railway association has de-
cided that the roads on whose tracks
rolling stock of foreign roads was at the
time Of the Kansas City floods must pay
for cars lost or damaged in the foods
The terminal roads in Kansas City
sought to escape responsibility on the
ground that the results were due to an
act of God. The committees ruling is
that the cause of damage to the cars is
immaterial.
This decision of the arbitration COM
mittee. if accepted, will probably cost
the Santa F'e, Rock Island, Union Pa
cific and other lines entering Kansas
City from the west, or using the west
bottoms terminals, large sum for
damaged and destroyed equipment. The
Kansas City Belt may also be caught
for some loss.
While this decision does not have any
direct bearing on the question of la
biiity for freight destroyed in the food,
it may have some weight with the rail-
roads in their opposition to paying
claims for damaged goods. The ground
of defense in both cases is the same:
that the flood was an act of God, and
that therefore the terminal railroads,
if they used reasonable diligence, can
not be held responsible for the loss and
damage Several suits are pending to
determine the liability of the railways,
and as these are in the nature of tests.
they viii be hard fought on both sides.
