as Long as Strike contnues--Presi-
dent Donnellys Statement.
Chicago. Aug. S.--After a fight Of
four weeks duration a settlement Of
the stockyards strike seems TO be as
remote as at any time since the strug-
gle began. Neither side TO the con
hict during all this time has shown
any sign Of weakening.
The determination Of the packers to
ro-establish their business on a normal
footing without overtures to or recog-
milton Of the union is given empha-
sis by placards which have been post
ed in the Nelson. Morris & Co. work
rooms and along the new loading
docks The placnrds read as follows:
"Foremen and old employees engag-
ed I'm all departments OF this plant
viii watch new employees and instruct
them as much as possible in the de-
tails OF their duties. This order is is
sued TO aid in the rapid organization
Of our forces. as few If any Of our
former employees will be relnstated."
Representatives Of the packers have
gone to seek recruits I'm Michigan and
Wisconsin lumber camps. The search
In new territory for strike breakers
arises from the fact that fewer men
are being enlisted in southern states,
it having been found that the planta-
ton negroes do not take kindly to the
hard labor Of the packing houses.
Strikers Get Strong Support.
All the labor unions in Chicago have
indorsed the stockyards strike. After
listening TO the strikers side Of the
controversy. which was presented TO
them by Michael J. Donnelly, presi-
dent OF the striking Butchers union,
the Chicago Federation Of Labor,
which is composed of every labor or
ganization in Chicago and has a mem
bership Of nearly 100000. adopted res
olutions pledging the moral and finan-
cial support Of the feserated body as
long as the strike continues. Each
member Of the central body will be
assessed q small sum per week, and
the whole amount Will be turned over
TO the striking unions TO help in the
support Of the strikers and their fami-
lies during the struggle with the pack
ers.
Last week the packers were figuring
on break in the ranks of the strikers
when work was resumed this morning,
but there was nothing that would indl-
cate that the men were even consider
ing such a step or that they had any
idea Of surrendering. According TO MI
chael j. Donnelly, president Of the
Butchers union. the organization
which precipitated the strike, the strik-
ers are in a better position than they
were on July p. the day the original
strike was called.

London, Aug. s-The Times CORE
spondent with the British mission to
Lassa. which arrived at the Tibetan

most magnificent surprise.
"There was nothing in the whole ap-
proach up to the last moment" the cor
respondent says. suggesting the ex-
quisite foliage and towering architec-
ture seen when Lassa from end TO end
breaks upon the view. Potala would
dominate London, and Lassa is almost
eclipsed by it,

Gus, hidden city.

her streets. Although Tibetan soldiers
reported as numbering between 1000
and 5000 retreated during the night,
no malevolence has been displayed

The other correspondents agree as to
the magnifcence of the situation and
the panorama and the splendor Of Po-
tala. but they consider the city itself
not striking.
The British expedition is encamped a
mile from the sacred mountain Of Po
tala. on .hich is situated the dalai
lama's pa ace, and in the immediate
vicinity of the dalai lama's private
gardens.
The dalai lama fed to a monastery
eighteen miles distant. 1t is reported
that he has shut himself up in strict
seclusion, refusing TO see even the
highest state officers and declaring thai
he will remain secluded for three years

A BELATED REPORT.
General stocssel Tells Of Japanese Re-
pulse at Port Arthur.

purse 81 FAiA FfiANANs
ST. Petersburg. Aug S.-An official
report from Lieutenant General Stoes-
seel. commanding the military forces
at Port Arthur, says that the Japanese
were repulsed with tremendous loss, in
n three days fight from July 26 10 July
2s. General Kuropatkin reports from
Liaoyang some small Russian success
es IN outpost lighting up 10 Aug. >
without the expected great battle hav-
ing been begun.
General Stoessers report though ten
days old. is taken as a satisfactory
refutstion Of the recently repeated ru-
mors of the fall Of Port Arthur. He
states that the determined japanese
assaults were repulsed, with tremen.
dous loss. and figures 10000 as the
number Of japanese killed or wounded.
General KuropatSin's report states
that the japanese are stationary on his
eastern front. the greatest activity be
Ing on the south and southeast posi-
tions. where the Russians are able to
take the offensive. While the move
ments in themselves are apparently OF
no great Importance. they are interest
ing as showing that the Japanese are
still halting before undertaking the
serious task OF attacking Liaoyang,
with its strong circle Of defenses.
The Novosti in urging a rapproche-
ment with Great Britain says that
nothing is TO be apprehended from the
Tibet expedition, as the agreement be-
tween Great Britain and Russia be-
fore the expedition started gave assur-
ances that Il should not extend beyond
the borders Of Tibet. The paper thinks
that it is natural and right that Lassa
should be forced to forego her long ex-
clusion of civilization.

CONDITION OF CROPS
Corn Makes Good Progress During
the Past Week.

Des Moines, July 13.-This has
been a cool, wet and cloudy week.
The daily average deficiency in tenn
perature was about degrees. In all
parts of the state showers were fire.
quent, and the fields were too wet for
farming operations four or five days.
With haying and harvesting at hand,
and the corn crop needing more cul-
tivation, this hindrance to field work
caused some anxiety and depression.
The crop outlook, however, is mater
tally brighter than at the correspond
ing date in 1902 and 1908.
The corn crop in the southern and
central sections has made fair pro-
gress, more than half being laid by
in good condition. In the northern
districts there is need of considerable
more cultivation, and smaller per-
centage has been laid by. The cool
weather has been favorable for small
grain generally. Oats, spring wheat
and barley have not suffered material
damage as yet from rust or lodging,
and these crops give promise of an
average yield of good grain. The
meadows and pastures have been ma.
terially improved. Potatoes are very
thrifty. Apples are still promising.

FIRST CAKE OF ICE.
James White Gets the Initial Output
of the Plant.

The first cake of ice, two-hundred-
pound chunk of the manufactured ar
ticle, was taken from the freezing
tank of the Oskaloosa Artificial Ice
company Monday afternoon at twenty
minutes of five o'clock, and sold to a
customer. James White, an Oska-
loosa dairyman, was the first custo-
mer. He had his wagon backed up to
the south door of the ice factory and
took the entire two hundred pounds.
Other cakes were taken out shortly
after six o'clock and sold to custom
ers about the city. The wagons of
the company were loaded with the
product this morning and the first
freezing was distributed about the
city.

ROBBERS ABROAD.
Two Houses Entered and Some Booty
Secured.

Robbers were abroad in the land
Sunday evening and two residents OF
North B street were disturbed. They
entered the McElroy home and secur-
ed about fifteen dollars in cash. The
Joe Larimer home was also visited,
but nothing of value was missed from
this place. No clue to the perpetra-
tors of the robbery can be found, but
en- account of certain circumstances
in connection with it it is thought
that the guilty parties are pretty well
acquainted with the lay of the land in
the neighborhood where they were
operating. Developments may come
later. '.# .-

us furnishing glasses or spectacles
according to the prescription of your
oculist. Skill, experience and sense
of our responsibility when such an
important organ as the eye is con-
cerned amply qualify us to give you
just what the doctor thinks your eyes
need. Our prices and terms are very
reasonable.
During Carnival Week Remember
it will probably be your last chance to

and sells them at cheap price.
He never fails and that he is relia-
bic is proven by two years of faultless
eye work in Oskaloosa. While his
prices have been reasonable in the
past, he will make them much lower
during Carnival week.
Professor Mayne Arnold has fitted
dozens of these wealthy and conserv-
alive people who have formerly gone
to Chicago for their glasses. Many
who came back disappointed after
consulting Chicago's noted oculists,
have been given perfect relief by
Prof. Arnold. Among thousands or
the finest families here who buy their
glasses of Prof. Arnold are the La
ceys, Baldaufs, Spencers, Hoffmans,
Kalbachs, Sheppards, Washes, Nc

sldllful, just ask these people, or a
thousand others of The best and fore
most people of Mahaska and adjoin-
ing counties. They will tell the truth
of how their eyes are benefited and
made strong.
Remember special cut prices for
Carnival week. Mayne Arnold is the
