Judge A. A. Freeman of Carlsbad
spent Saturday in the city attending
to legal matters, and left on the af-
ternoon for home. Il have not paid
a particle of attention to the judge
ship contest recently. as l have been
very busily engaged in preparing a
bill of exceptions in a case l have
in the supreme court On this account
| do not know any of the late pro-
ceedings in the contest for the judge
ship in the new district" was the re-
bar in answer to question regarding
the recent developments in the matter
that is interesting the whole Terri
tory at present.
He is of the opinion that the pres
ent court house here is large enough
and good enough for the supreme
court
He says, Il do not favor the spend
ing of a large amount of money at
court house here on account of the
new Sixth judicial district. The pres
ent room is amply sufficient to ac-
commodate even the supreme court
at the present time. The acoustic
properties of the room are very fine.
The Carlsbad court house is more
imposing on the outside, but acous-
tically the main room is miserable.
If the least sound is made, even the
opening of the door you cannot do
anything until the echoes die down.
The room here is fine and you can
hear a whisper in any part of the
room. Since the rains have com
menced l think we will have plenty
of it from now on This viii restore
confidence and times will be more
prosperous

slams Appear to be Confident of
Holding Port Arthur With the
10000 Men Stationed There.

Washington, May 22.-The Japan
ese legation has received the follow
ing from Toxic: "On May goth one
company of the enemy appeared six
miles north of Takushan and were
confronted by our infantry. The Rus
slams fled with many casualties. One
Russian was taken prisoner. The ia
panese had no casualties.
Che Foo, May 23.-The captain of
Port Arthur May goth, is among the
recent arrivals here. He says the
whole Japanese feet has not return
ed to Port Arthur since the 10Th inst
when besides the battleshiD Hatsuse
another big vessel struck a mine and
was towed away in a disabled cOndi
zion. The gunboats and torpedo boats
returned off Port Arthur on the Goth
when the Russians succeeded in sink
ing a small gunbOat and two torpedo
boats. The Russians are now conf
dent OF holding Port Arthur with the
10000 men stationed there All the
warships have been repaired except
the Czarevitch and Retvizan which
vii again be ready for sea by June
1st. The entrance to the harbor has
been cleared and small boats now

cinity of Port Arthur since the 11th

ese cavalry were wiped out, only

ST. Petersburg, May 23.-The report
that Rear Admiral Jensen finding it
impossible to save the protected
cruiser Bogatyr which went ashore
recently in fog on the rocks off

moved before she was destroyed. No
loss of life attended the destruction.
Morris Kleiman, a native Russian,
but citizen of Wisconsin, who was
arrested May 14th at Cheliabinsk, has
been released at the intercession of
Ambassador Mccormick. 1t transpires
that his arrest was partly due to rep
resentations made by the agents of
a firm competing with the one rep
resented by Kieiman. He was charg-
ed with the violation of an article of
the penal code which provides that
Russian subject who swears ale
glance to a foreign country without
the governments permission is liza
BILE to banishment or transportation
to Siberia. SIS
The general staff here says the re-
occupation of New Chwang by the
Russians in force is due to the change
in the situation produced by the loss
of the Japanese ships last week.
General Kuropatkin originally decid-
ed to abandon the town because of
the Japanese gaining complete mas
terry of the sea. but the losses sus-
tanned by Admiral Togo's neet so
change the relative strength of the
two fleets that 1t is believed to rem
der 1t unsafe to dispatch Japanese
transports around the Lao Tung pc
ninsula. as they run the risk of an
attack BY Rear Admiral Wittsoeft

Braia Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities. They have dis
PEELED the silly notion that one
kind of food is needed for brain
another for muscle, and still all.
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish a particular
part of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however,
good your food may be, it's nutri-
ment is destroyed by indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower,
the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses aids
digestion, stimulates the liver to
healthy action, purifes the blood
and makes you feel buoyant and
vigorous. You can get DR.
