Announcement is made that Emperor
Nicholas will visit Reval on Tuesday
to bid farewell to the Baltic squadron.
After months of preparation and sew
eral false starts it is believed that the
squadron is at last on the eve of its
departure upon it's long journey. A di-
vision in the Admiralty has existed
throughout the period of preparation
regarding the advisability of sending
out the squadron, but with the decision
to double the size Of the Manchurian
army and press the war with vigor the
logic of those who for months have in
sisted that every available ship should
be dispatched to the Far East has final
ly prevailed. The argument that no
complete victory over the japanese Is
possible unless the command OF the sea
is wrested from them could not be
overcome, and though much valuable
time has been lost and the moment
seems inauspiciOus. it is officially 1ntl-
mated that an irrevOcable decision has
been taken to dispatch the Baltic fleet,
even if the Port Arthur squadron
should be annihilated before its arrival
there.
1t is realized that the squadron, which
on paper is about equal in fighting
strength to that of the japanese fleet,
will be much better able to encounter
them now than in the spring, after the
Japanese ships have had all winter to
clean, repair and retit
HOPES FOR PORT ARTHUR
While hopes are still entertained that
| Port Arthur may be able TO hold out
until the appearance Of the Baltic fleet
the question Of the fall Of that strong
hold does not apparently enter greatly
| into the calculations of the Admiralty.
The only thing expected of the Port
| Arthur SQUADRON is to break out Of the
harbor and inf1ict as much damage as
possible upon Admiral TogO's fleet.
Such ships as escape are expected &c
| make their way to VladivOstok, where
| the repairs on the cruiser BOgatyr are
understood to have been practically
completed and those on the ROssia and
/ Gromoboi are nearing completion.
The question of the war in the Far
! East will depend upon the issue OF
sea fight after the arrival Of the Baltic
> fleet. VladivOstOk, although ice-oouno
in winter for commercial ships. can
| easily be kept open for a fleet OF war
/ vessels by means Of ice-breakers- II
! the Japanese fleet is caught in some
I what weakened condition and the Bal
tic ships are able to. win a victory Of
( feials here hold that other problems
will solve themselves. and with Japa-
nese communication severed the Japa-
nese army on the mainland Will be at
! the mercy of Russia
This boldly announced programme
seems to stake the whole issue upon
sea fighting The Japanese ships, II
! must be remembered. have been in ac-
| tive service seven months. No matter
/ how greatly the efficiency Of the guns
| and the speed Of the vessels have beer
, impaired the crews of Admiral TOgO's
| ships have enjoyed the prestige Of con-
/ tinuous victories. while opposed to
| them will be a fleet of brand new
ships, more or less untried and none
| of which have fired a shot in actual
/ warfare, and whose crews have never
/ yet been under fire.

Car No. 1017 of the Eddy street line,
heavily laden with passengers, struck
curve at the corner of Eighth avenue
and Clement street while running at a
high rate of speed yesterday afternoon.
Frederick Fendsen, a bartender, was
almost instantly killed; Sergeant Harry
Curran, soldier stationed at Fort
Mason, was SO badly hurt that he died
In a few hours, and score more pas
sengers were injured by being hurled
to the pavement and against another
car coming from an opposite direction
on an adjacent track Several who
were injured are in precarious con-
dition and have been removed to hos
pitfalls.
The motorman, L. G. Reed, offers as
an excuse for the accident failure of
the brakes to work. Stories told by
many who were aboard the vehicle or
on the street near by are to the effect
that the carman applied his brakes too
late. They also say that the quick
time policy, which is especially in.
vogue on this branch of the United
Railroads, is accountable for the affair
Several accidents of a similar nature
have recently occurred in this section
of the city. Motormen on cars that run
to the park and cliff say that their time
schedules are constantly being short
ened, and surprise is expressed that
more fatalities are not the result. Of
fcials of the company are reticent as
to details, and their agents were quick
ly on the scene cautioning employees
not to talk. An investigation will be
made to-day and the responsibility
fixed.

SWINGS AROUND CURVE.

When the car left the park terminus,
shortly before O'Clock, it was loaded
to its utmost capacity. Passengers
stood on the steps and it was almost
impossible for any more to get aboard.
All went well until the vehicle reached

Aaueou. PRECIPITATION.

The general law OF aqueous prcclpi-
tntion may be briefly stated. Whatever
lowers the temperature of the air at
any place below the dew point Is Il
cause of rain. Various causes may
conspire to effect this object, but 1t is
chiefly brought about by the ascent of
the mir into the higher regions of the
atmosphere. by which, being subjected
to less pressure. 1t expands and in do
ing 80 lowers Its temperature. These
ascendin. currents arc caused by the
heating of the eartli's surface by the
suns rays or, In fact, by anything
which raises the temperature Of the
superintendent air, and it is very OBJ
vious that the continual discharge OF
large pieces of ordnance will have q
considerable effect IN raising the tenn
pef.ture of the mir lying on the earth's
surface. which will ascend, expand and
discharge in aqueous particles in the
form OF rain for the foregoing re,l-

Among Marshalltown business men
who have won IA large success from
small beginnings. Henry Weber, whose
business place is reproduced above,
has earned a premier place. Five years
ago he was located in a small business
on a residential street far removed
from the, business part of the city. To-
day he is pussessor of the best ar
ranged coal and wood sheds and flour
and feed warehouses in central Iowa,
and has built up a splendid and profit
able trade. His commodious ware
house coal sheds and wood yards are
on his own ground. Il block long. fac
ing on Center street and extending
east to First avenue. The buildings
were erected under Weber's supervi-
sion, and are models of convenience
and capacity. The coal sheds are es-
pecially arranged for the convenience
of the farmers among whom Weber
has an enormous patronage. Farmers
find Weber'. sheds handy and his
prices right.
The secret of Weber's success lies in
hard work, the fact that he buys the
best of every thing he carries is salts
fled with reasonable profit and gives
every customer his moneys worth. He

price is low compared to the quality.
II gives satisfaction. Satisfaction
keeps the old customer and the old
customer makes a new one. That is
why Webcr's flour trade has grown
until it is like his fuel trade, the best
of any in this section of the state. His
feed business is in no wise behind his
flour trade in volume. He carries ev-
erything in feed as he does in fuel.
Oats, corn hay. chopped feed, oil meal.
bran, shorts. low grade fiours etc.
etc. and sells them right. Farmers
who use quantities of bran, oil meal or
special feeds will find it to their inter-
est TO consult Weber. His feed bust
ness makes an excellent Marshalltown
market for producers. Besides the
large Quantities purchased by him for
his local trade he pays good prices for
hay and straw to be shipped to other
markets. He has averaged to ship
over 1900 tons annually. While Weber
appreciates that he has made some
money for himself at low margins he
is scarcely less pleased that he has at
forded the producers an excellent mar

absolutely refuses to pool or enter into
any combination to fix prices. All his
customers are welcome to city scale
weights Weber fixes his own prices
and gives the patron his choice of
scales He carries all grades of hard
and soft coal, wood, etc. and is never
out. because he carries full stock the
year round He owns his delivery
teams and hires the best men at wages
that Justify good work, and his
promptness of delivery is unsurpassed.
His business methods are such as keep
old customers and make new ones. The
largest lines of all kinds of fuel In the
city square deal to every customer
and prompt delivery, convenience for
the farmers trade and the best for the
least money and an indomitable en-
ergy are all factors that have made
Weber's fuel trade the talk of central
Iowa. He has recently made special
arrangements for his farm trade In
threshins coal and is saving his Gus
toners time and money. Every farmer
should see him before arranging for
his thresher's coal.
