DAVIS SPOKE At
WHEELING FAIR
VICE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE
HEARTILY CHEERED AFTER
HIS SPEECH.
ADDRESS MAINLY TO FARMERS
The Senator Spoke on Agriculture"
and Said Many Nice Things Con-
cerning the Condition of the
Man with the Hoe.

Wheeling, w. Va, Sept An i'm
mense crowd attended the West Vir'
ginia state fair at Morgans Grove
the presence of ex-senator Henry G..
Davis. the democratic vice-presiden'
tia nominee, who was scheduled 10
make a non political address.
Senator Davis, accompanied by Ma
tional Committeeman John T, Nc
Graw and John j. Cornwell, the DEM
ocratic candidate for governor, left
Wheeling for the fair grounds about
| o'clock, arriving an hour later.
The senator was enthusiastically
received when he entered the
grounds and when he arose to speak,
he was heartily cheered.
in the course of short talk on
agriculture" Sena<lr Davis referred
to this as mans natural occupation
and the most important and useful
to mankind. The agrculturalists
iiaave always been found in the ad'
vance guard of the march of civili-
zation, he said. Nearly all who
worked and fought 1Or our lndepcl'
dence and liberty were tillers of the
soil; nearly all our early presidents
had been farmers; the majority OF
our successful men of today have
come from the farms. Farmers as q
class are a liberty loving people.
Agriculture started England on the
high road to prosperity and the com
mercial supremacy which she has
maintained in the world for 500
years.
Agricultural products feed us ant
pay much of our foreign debts. Be
tween 60 and 20 per cent of all oul
exports are from the farm.
The farmer can live well and pros
per without the town or cities, but
the people of towns are bound Il
starve if the farmers do not feet
them.

am delighted to see the vote in Yer

Toxic Furnishes No Details.

Toxic, Sept. 7, p. m.--The gener-
al staff has not yet made public any
details of the battle of Lao Yang.
The people are still celebrating the
victory, but there is considerable
speculation over the official silence
regarding Gen. Kuroki's movements
since Sunday.
1t Is reported that the Japanese,
Notwithstanding the ravages of fire,
captured vast accumulations of Rus
sian stores and ammunition at Lao
Yang.
The report that Lieut. Perouchi, a
son of Lieut.. Gen Terouchi, minister
of war, was killed in the fight before
Lao Yang is denied todady.

A COPY of the Port Arthur Novikrai
dated Aug. published incidents Of
the fighting of Aug. 20 and 80 on the
Russian east flank. On the evening
of the 10Th. the Japanese opened n
heavy fire from Fort No. 8 and other
points directing their larger guns
chiefly at the Russian positions on
hill called the Small Eagles Nest.
At Sushiycn, the Japanese removed
the roofs of number of Chinese
houses, strongly constructed of mud
and stone, and converted them into
excellent redoubts. at O'Clock on
the evening of the 29th., Russian
force made a sudden onslaught on
the Japanese and at the point of the
bayonet, the Japanese were forced
to the redoubts. The Russians were
unable to proceed further than this
redoubt because OF the fierce hrc
roured in upon them by the Japan
csc. According to comment made ny
the Novikrai. this redoubt evidently
had been greatly strengthened during
the previous night. On tho east
flank, the remainder of the night or
the 29th. was quiet. Nothing oc'

had number of friends and before
the militia was ordered from Birm-

COURTESY.

Oftentimes We fail to realize the in
fluence of kind word, bright smile
or an attentive action. An old white
haired gentleman said recently tha
he would always remember with what
pleasure he once received smile and
a few courteous words from a young
lady on one of the crowded ferry boats
to New York. He had asked for direc-
tons as to how he should go on reach
somewhat cold answer which strane-
ers 80 often receive. But the younS
girls frank smile and the ready way
in which she gave him minute direc
tions made him feel, as he afterward
said. as though he had met a. friend.
1t is hardly likely that we shall be
ready with kind words and considerate
acts when the opportunities come as
suddenly as they must come in rail
road cars or on street crossings, un-
less we are habitually thoughtful Of
the feelings of those around us. Peo
rle may safely judge us by our conduct
OF: these unexpected occasions.
A few days since a middle-aged lady
was coming out of store in one Of
our large cities. The rain was pour
ing in torrents and the wind was blow
ing a gale, so that she found some
difficulty in attempting to open the
storm door and at the same time raise
her umbrella. Suddenly the door was
pushed open by a strong arm, the UNI
brel1a raised and placed in her hand,
and, with polite lifting Of his hat,
