An Iowa paper has solved the Gun

To III a successful paper in a small
town an editor must possess as much
nerve as a game rooster and as tender
hearted as a spring chicken. He must
be as sympathetic as an old woman and
as hard hearted as a mule driver.
He should be kind, and he should be
cranky. He should attend to his own
business and also % other peoples bust
n ess. He should boost everything
t hat pleases the public free of charge.
m people say that an editor must
have brains but that is a mistake which
we can prove. If All editor fill the above
requirements, brains are not necessary.

very essence of humor II he could
name the man the governor would
make himself famous: How many
wings are there? Let's see there are
the east wing and the west wing; the
north wing and the south wing; the
gold wing, the silver wing and the

Governor Hunt is In Washington

an equal chance of carrying the state.

PROGRESS OF THE WAR

The war opened in Japans favor and
she has not yet lost any of her ad-
vantage Her sudden and decisive at
tack on the Russian fleet at Port Ar
thur so disconnected the Russians, that
Japan found found it an easy matter
to land her troops in Korea and to es-
tablish war base at Seoul the Korean
capitol.
japanese transports under protection
of the fleet landed troops at F'ussan
and at Chemulpo where direct railroad
communication is established to Seoul
and north to With on the Yalu river.
Japan is firmly established in Korea
and 1t now seems likely that Russia
will act on the defensive and await the
Japanese invasion of Manchuria.
The first land battles of the war are
more likely to occur north of the Yalu
than south of 1t in Korean territory as
was at first supposed.
Russa's new war base is at Hardin
in the center of the Manchurian prov
ince, over 600 miles northof Port Ar
thur. Somewhere between the Yalu
river and this point will probably be
the meeting ground for the land en-
gagements
But following what seems to be the
Japanese plan of campaign. no i'm
portant land battle is to be expected
before the Investment and siege of Port
Arthur. Having safely landed her
forces now some 100000 strong in
Korea, and struck series of telling
blows at the Russian fleet. It's COM
plete destruction and the fall of Port
Arthur seem to be the next move in the
sequence and the latest news from the
war zone confirms that conclusion. and
the next active engagements of the war
win center in the attacks to reduce
Port Arthur and put the crippled Rus
sian fleet out of commission.
That being done Japan can land her
transports at will along the coast of
the Yellow sea and the Liao Tung PEN
insula and completely overcome the
handicap that Russia hopes to force
of communication by an advance over
land by way of the Yalu river
lrt Arthur is useless to Russia as
neither troops nor provisions can be

are anticipating like result

4 TRIPLE HANGING.
lhree Car Barn Murderers Pay Death
Penalty at Chicago

CHICAGO, April 22.-The car barn
bandits, Marx. Neidermeier and Van
Dine, were hanged this morning. Peter
Neidermeir, the first of the car barn
bandl's to be executed, was hanged in
the county jail at 1885 O'Clock. He
was carried to the gallows handcutfed
and strapped. He was placed in a
chair on the drop and fell with the
chair. Marx was hanged at 11:17 a.
m. Van Dine was hanged at ll:55 a.
m. The hanging was without particu.
lar interest.
A large crowd sembled at the Jail
and sought admission, but were turned
away. Only limited number pro.
vided by law were admitted to witness
the execution of the bandits, whose
careers, with Emil Roeski, imprisoned
tor life but few days after capture,
were almost unparalleled.
Hanging of the youthful car bandits
followed closely period of crime of
less than six months. In that time
eight murders were committed, all at
tend ant upon robberies or efforts to
escape arrest.
1t was during an attempt to escape
on stolen train after an extraordi
nary battle IL the swamps of northern
Indiana, just east of Chicago, that on
Novem Der y of last year, the capture
OF the gang was completed by the ar
rest of Neidermeier, Van Dine and
Emil Roeski, their associate, Marx,
having already been placed behind
the bars to await trial.
The specific otfense for which Van
Dine, Neidermeier and Marx were
tried and sentenced was the murder of
Frank Stewart, clerk in the Chicago
City Railway car barns, during a rob.
berry there on the morning of August
30, 1903. James B. Johnson, motor
man, was also killed, and two persons
were wounded The bandits escaped
after having secured 2,24O. Roeski
was not concerned in this crime, but,
after the conviction of his compan-
ions, was tried separately for one of
the murders in which he was accused
OF being the principal, convicted and
sentenced to life Imprisonment.
