crops Of grain can be grown on the

While there are no large lakes or
rivers in this whole country there are
numerous fast running streams fed
the year round by melting SHOWS in
the mountains, furnishing an abund-
ance Of the coolest and purest water,
the best for beast as well as man.
Englishmen and Americans in the
western territories are bringing in
their herds as fast as they can and
leasing or purchasing land in lots
from 1000 to 10000 acres from the
Dominion government. An idea Of the
growth Of the industry will, however,
be altered from the fact that in 1899
the were but Al Al head of cattle
shipped and sold from the ranches.
These figures ran TO 55,129 in 1900,
and to 100000 in 1903, averaging $40
per head for the owners But it takes
a great many ranchers and a large
number Of cattle to cover an area OF
200 ,OOO, 900 acres, the area available
for ranChing in the Canadian North

PuzzIinq the Doctors,

A case is reported from the Ere
donia vicinity of Montgomery
county, which puzzles the medical
men, and is pronounced by experts
to be the most remarkable of its kind
yet on record. Miss Carrie Perdue,
the 19-year-old daughter of Mrs. j.
W. Pardue, widow, had been blind
ever since she was a girl of or 10
years of age. Some months ago she
was sent by her relatives and friends
to the blind school at Nashville, and
remained there for some time receiv-
ing an education. She had to re-
turn home, however, few weeks
ago, because of her health, and was
confined to her bed with illness.
During her sickness she had one day
violent convulsion, and the neigh
bors had to be called on for assist
ance. After regaining consciousness
after this attack the young woman
made remarks about things in the
room and showed unmistakable evi-
dences of returning sight. She en-
joyed the privileges of sight for some
weeks, after which time the blind
ness returned and she is now totally
unable to see a thing or even distin-
gI.ish daylight from darkness. 1t is
said that a similar case has never
been heard of.

RUSSIAN LOSSES HEAVY.
Total Casualties at Feng Wang Chung

IN MAD DISORDER
RUSSIANS LEFT THEIR WOUNDED
COMRADES TO DIE
ON THE FIELD OF KIULIEN CHENC
Estimated by Russian Officers That
1924 of Their Men Met Death,
While 1881 Were Left Wounded
and Dying Upon the Battlefield
Retreat Results in Complete Rout.

st. Petersburg, May 8-The en-
peror has received a dispatch from
Gen. Kuropatkin giving the report of
losses in the battle of Kiulien Cheng.
The report states that Ma. Gen. Kash-
talinsky was injured in the head by
a stone. The brunt of the fighting.
Gen. Zassalitch says, was borne by
the Eleventh and Twelfth rifle regi-
ments and the Twenty-second regi-
ment The fighting was so desperate
that the Russian regiments were
obliged to make several counter at
tacks and cut a way for themselves
with the bayonet against the enemy,
who were five times stronger than the
Russians and were supported by
numerous artillery.
In this fight So terrible, but glorious
for the Eleventh and Twelfth regi-
ments, the losses in killed were four
officers, including the commander of
the Eleventh and. 4S1 non-commis-
stoned officers and men. The wound
ed were one officer and 801 non-com
missioned officers and men and
chaplain, while 700 others were left
on the field.
Gen. Zazzalitch confirms the re
ports of the enormous mortality
among the artillery horses, and con-
cludes his report as follows: "Our
losses on April 80 and May 1, alto
gether, amounted to seventy superior
and subaltern officers and 1924 men
killed, wounded or taken prisoners.
Besides these 1,081 were left on the
battlefield. but it is not known
whether they were killed or wounded.
"In consequence of the heavy losses
in men and battery horses and the
difficulties encountered in the roadlesI
country, it was absolutely impossible
TO bring away the guns and machine
guns.
The Eleventh and Twelfth regi-
mentS, Notwithstanding their heavy
losses, were reformed in good order
under the protection of the Third
rifle division. which did not partici-
pate in the fight but was brought Gr
to cover the retreat"

Farm Work Hindered.

According to United States Sec
ton Director Bate, farm work in
Tennessee was greatly hindered dur
ing the greater portion of the past
week by wet, cold and generally un-
favorable conditions. About the
close, however, the change to sun
shine and warmer weather was i'm
proved by the farmers and work
progressed more satisfactorily. Corn
planting progressed very slow. and
there is much of the area yet to be
planted; termination has been very
slow, owing to the cold and wet con-
dition of the soil. Bad stands are
the rule and there will necessarily
be much replanting. Cotton plant
ing is progressing rather slowly;
there will be an increase in acreage
this season. Wheat, oats and
meadows are improving and are
looking well. Tobacco plants are
small as a rule and making rather
slow growth. Gardens are very
backward. Reports indicate that
fruit is not all killed. ) peaches do
not promise much, but apples have
fair prospects. The strawberry crop
will be rather short. The week
closed fair and warm and work is
being pushed forward rapidly.

Monster Wild Potato.

A few days ago while plowing up
a new ground on the farm of Tom
Carter, east of Martin, l.. J. Harris
unearthed a vegetable growth that
some people call 'Indian bread" :"
and others call wild potatoes. 3"
This one was white and a little
spongy inside, has vine that re-
sembles a sweet potato vine, and has
laroe white blossoms on it. 1t meas
ured twenty-six inches long, twenty
three and a half inches wide, and
was twelve inches through. 1t is
quite curiosity and is attracting a
great deal of attention. 1t weighs
somewhere between seyenty-fve and
a hundred pounds. No name has
been found for it as yet, except as
above stated.

WILL EvAcUATE NEW cHwANe.
Every Indication That the Russians
Are Preoaring to Leave.

Are Preparing to Leave.
New Chwang, May S-There is
every indication that the Russians
have decided to evacuate New
Chwang. Troops have been leaving
here all day long. Forts have been
dismantled and all artillery has been
placed on board trains. All the local
transportation has been COM
mandeered by the Russian authorities.
There is current here a native rumor
that Japanese troops are in Foo Chou
TuLg reninsual, and about sixty miles
north Of Port Arthur but this report
lacks confirmation.
The fear is held here that if the
Russians leave and the Japanese do
not at once take possession of New
Chwang. the brigands, who are now
across the river near Ymg Kow will
pillage the place. The foreign resi-
dents are prepared to resist the
brigands should they come over The
British consul has requested that a
gunboat be sent to New Chwang.
The Russians probably will destroy
the gunboat Sivoutch before leaving
The vessel is at New Chwang.
Japanese troops fired on what prob
ably was the last train out of Port
Arthur as it passed near Port Adams.
They used artillery and small arms
and killed or wounded several Chi
nese.
1t is reported here that Viceroy
Alexieff was slightly wounded prior
to his departure from Port Arthur.
He barely escaped from there before
the Japanese closed the lines of COM
munication.
The Russian general staff have
moved from Lao Yang to Mukden.
Russians here will not talk of the
situation for fear that they may i'm
part some information. They do not
consider that their forces here are
sufficient to hold this section of the
country. 1t is probable the Russian
troops will withdraw to Harbin.
The Russian civilians at New
Chwang are leaving hurriedly and
many natives are fleeing the city in
fear that they will be subjected to
at the hands of the
brigands

Iron Ore Near Huntingdon.

A very fair quality of iron ore
has been discovered on the old Fitz-
gerald farm four miles northwest of
Huntingdon, and samples of the
mineral have been sent to Pittsburg
for the purpose of having it assayed
and to ascertain whether it can be
converted into pig. The discovery
was made by an old miner named
Jake Everett, from Henry county,
who has been in the vicinity for
some time making his examination
at the request of the owners of the
land, and the ore is said to exist on
the place in large quantities.

Political Manual,

If an appropriation sufficient to
pay for printing can be secured
Secretary of State John w. Morton
proposes to have published an official
political manual of Tennessee. Only
one other similar publication has
been issued, in 1890, by Charles A.
Miller, and the copies have long ago
been exhausted. Captain Morton
proposes to give statement of facts
and statistics which will make a
complete political history of Ten
nessee, including directory of per-
sons holding offices in each county.
The next legislature will be asked
for an appropriation.
