Biz Battle.

1t seems that the Russians and
japanese have at last fought a big
battle on land. The cables are tC
this effect. The accounts say that
the japanese were victorious. The
Russian loss amounted to 1000
men, killed and wounded.
The reports from the seat of war
are still so meager and contradic-
tory that they cannot be consid'
cred at all reliable. Everything
sent out by either side is closely
censored. The closest secrecy is
maintained by both beligerents.

1t is claimed for Judge Parker
that he can come nearer keeping
his month closed than any man ev-
er did before. The great sphynx of
Egypt has been where it is now
for so long a time that neither his
tory nor tradition gives aay account
of how it got there. But it got
there all the same and there it is
yet. 1t has never spoken a word.
If it had talked perhaps it would
not have been there now.

We are glad to be able to state
that reports this week are to the
effect that the seeds of both corn
and cotton are coming up well and
that good stands may be expected,
Some farmers report satisfactory
stands of corn and a few r already
blowing their crops. Cotton is
coming up slowly, but there Is ev-
erv indication of full stands. There
has no rain fallen for over two
weeks and it is now needed. Al
this time of the year we generally
have April showers. This spring
we have had none. An occasional
shower would be beneficial and the
farmers would be glad to have
them.

The Missouri river has been on a
rampage for ten days and has emp
tied a vast volume of water into
the Mississippi. There has been
great uneasiness felt by the people
along this mighty stream, but
there seems to have been nc
material damage done except In
Illinois south of st. Louis. From
Cairo to St. Louis the low lands
have been submerged and the Mo
bile & Ohio railroad has been wash
ed up in many places. 1t is not
thought that there will be an oyer
flow of the Mississippi along the
delta. The damage to the nj. u y.
willie very great, will soon be re-
paired.
