ON SATURDAY next the three engi-
neers-city, county and railroad-will
make a report to the County Super
visors in reference to the crossing by the
Washington-Southern Railway of the
county roads leading to this city at Its
western limits. As heretofore stated
the matter rests with the supervisors, as
they have entire jurisdiction over the
county roads, subject, however, to an
appeal to the corporation commission.
The city is deeply interested, however,
as an enbankment eighteen feet high is
to be built entirely across its western
limits, but as the embankment is to be
on the company's own property nothing
can be done TO prevent this. No one, 1t
is to be remembered, antagonizes the
railroad in the construction OF Its new
line, but many are anxious concerning
the proper means of entering and leav'
ing the city by the roadways passing
over and under the railroad tracks, and
these will insist that safe crossings be
provided. 1t is hoped, therefore, that the
supervisors will look carefully to the
interest of all concerned in the matter
and see that the privileges granted the
railroad company will not conflict with
the rights of those who have to travel
the roads either on foot or in vehicles.

AND NOW another theory is in dispute,
and the germ theorists are at sea again.
Some French doctors in Alglers do not
think that mosquitoes are carriers OF
malarial infection, and offer to allow
themselves to be bitten by the most
virulent examples which can be found
in that mosquito infected county, and to
submit themselves to critical medical
inspection for sufficient time to ascer-
tain whether the malady really develops.
They will not take any prophylactics,
and will give the insect and its hackers
perfectly square deal. The reputation
of the former as distributor of quartan
ague is not quite so overbearing as it was
a few years ago, but good many people
in Algiers, and out of it, still believe in
it, and scientific test on a new basis
will possess much interest. 1t is doubt
full, though, if any conclusive result can
be obtained by use of the efete North
African ceratopagon. 1t will take the
New-Jersey kind to give final force to
the experiment and determine whether
there is anything in the theory or not.
When doctors disagree, who shall de-

THE WAR IN THE FAR EAST.
London, March 31.-The Rome cor
respondent of the Central News reports
that kilograms received in the Italian
capital from Seoul, Korea, state that the
Russians retired in disorder after their
repulse by japanese troops at Chong-Ju,
on March 28th. The fleeing troops lett
many sabres and rifles behind them IN
their haste. General Mischenko, who
was in command of the Russian forces,
narrowly escaped capture. The kilograms

who have been disbanded near Ping
Yang, are becoming riotous, and trouble
from them is feared.
st. Petersburg, March 81 Word was
received today that the japanese had
destroyed the Russian aerostatic reserya-
ton in Manchuria, thus ehectually cut
ting off connections with the balloons,
which have been used by the Russians
for accommodating purposes.
st. Petersburg, March Sl.-The news
paper Novosti today graphically describes
Port Arthur city as place markedly
changed since the opening of hostili-
ties. The paper says: ''The trains
from the city are full of fugitives, The
military are almost the only persons left
in the port, which resembles city OF
the dead. General Stoessel has or
dered the shops to remain open during
bombardments. He noticed they were
closed, and that their stats had disap-
peared during the last Smelling, and
accordingly has issued the order to keep
open, adding while it is recognized
that self preservation is the law of each
individual, it must not be abused. "

WakefuI Children.

For a long time the two year old child
of Mr.. P. L. Mcpherson, SO n. Tenth
street, Harrisburg, Pa, would sleep
but two or three hours in the early part
of the night, which made it very
hard for her parents. Her mother con-
cluded that the child had stomach
trouble, and gave her half of one OF
Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tab
lets, which quoted her stomach and she
slept the whole night through. Two
boxes of these Tablets have effected a
permanent cure and she is now well and
strong. For sale By Richard Gibson.

THURSDAY EVENING. MAR. 81, 1904.

PRESIDENT HALL, of Clark Univer-
sity. in Worcester, in published ad-
dress bursts forth into the warmest pos
sible praise of the beneficial results Of
dancing. He urges even venerable men
and women to caper about in minuets
and other rhythmic movements when
ever suitable opportunities can be OBJ
tanned. He says when man dances a
pretty dance with pretty girl to good
music, he gets about as near TO heaven
as is possible on earth--or words to that
effect. Dancing, from his point OF view,
may also be regarded as a panacea TOR
almost every lack of freedom and grace
in physical action. But how different
are his views from that of the Shah OF
Persia, the predecessor of the present
autocrat of Teheran and Ispahan, who
was the guest of royalty in England
some years ago An effort was made to
regale this Oriental potentate with a
state bail. He refused to take part him
self in the stately measures in which the
most noted and distinguished of Eng
lands princes and nobility were moving
over the polished floor, and remarked
with unbridled frankness of tongue, "ln
my country we have slaves to dance for
us. Why should anybody who isn't
forced to do this sort Of thing be willing
TO prance around like slave -

SENATE.


The Senate today passed bill APP
pointing members of the board of man.
ayers for the national homes for disabled
volunteer soldiers.
Mr.. Clark called up from the table
bill providing for the repeal of the desert
land act and the Communication clause of
the homestead act, introduced by Mr..
Gibson. He declared that if the bill
became law, it would absolutely stop
development in the arid and semi-arid
regions.
The Senator from Wyoming raised
storm of protest from Mr.. Patterson and
Mr.. Gibson, advocates of the repeal,
when he declared that land lobby ex-
listed in Washington, maintained by the
holders of land script.
Mr.. McCreary, charged the admonis-
tration with extravaganza, and declared
that it bad no basis for congratulation
for its good management of public
affairs. when it had deficit of S42, 600,
900 staring it in the face
HOUSE.
The House, in committee of the whole,
today resumed consideration the sun
dry civil appropriation bill. An amend
ment by Mr.. Crumpacker eliminating
provision that such amounts of pension
money of soldiers withheld by the State
and Territorial soldiers homes in which
they live, shall be deducted from the
appropriation granted the home in
question by Congress, was considered.
Mr.. Bell offered an amendment to
this amendment providing that State
and Territorial homes that maintain bars
shall not receive national aid, and pre-
venting State and Territorial homes from
Withholding government pension money
of the sailors and soldiers.
After considerable discussion the
amendment of Mr.. Bell was carried.
An unsuccessful effort was made by
Mr.. Sherley to eliminate the provision
that prohibits the payment of any of the
appropriation to soldiers home that
maintains bar.

AND NOW, according to a dispatch
from st. Louis, a colored man is to be
nominated for President of the United
States. Whoever the individual may be
who is destined for the empty honor he
will doubtless enjoy the dream that in
the event of his election negro will be
the host and not the guest at the White
House in future. The party that is to
champion a negro candidate will be
known as the national civil liberal
party" and among the planks in the
platform will be one providing for a
pension list for former slaves. A negro
from Tennessee is the president of the
organization, and a sable individual from
Washington the vice president. This
rag baby will doubtless perish before
dentition when the hot waves incident
to the conflict between the standard
parties of the country shall prevail in
earnest.

The barn of Thomas J. Corbett on Queen street was burned to the ground about 3. 40 o'clock, "Wednesday morning. MT Corbett was awakened by l.. c. Morris and William Honan. By the time these gentlemen reached MT Corbett's grounds it was impossible to get near the burning building. MT Corbett's horse was destroyed and the entire contents of the barn. It was evidently the work of chicken thieves, as case containing dozen fine young chickens was found short distance away from the barn. The loss exceed ed $500, with insurance of $45O. MT Corbett has the sympathy of his neigh bors and friends in this loss. The wholesale manner in which chicken thieving is going on is appalling. Ii Constables Johnson, TillsOn and White can catch the miserable rascals who are perpetrating these outrages they will be deserving the thanks of the en- tire community. Meanwhile it be hooves poultry owners to put the pad lock on the poultry house, fasten the dog in handy place and get the sho1 gun re ady.

HOWLAND'S

Buying by mail is just as safe as buying in person. The store that would sw'ndle a mail buyer would fool any body but an ex- pert. You put store on honor when you buy by mail and it is pretty poor sort of store that hasn't honor enough to deal fairly with distant purchaser when put on honor. When you buy here through the mall this is what the store does: An expert shopper takes your order and fills it. If we are tenn porarily out of what you wish, something else is sent, or, if that cant be done you are notl- fled and the wanted article Is sent later. If you send too much money, the balance IS re- turned at once. And last of all, if the goods sent are not wanted they may be returned and your money will be refunded. 4..s>
 Is that fair dealing or not? We leave 1t to you. .."..
