the end of two terms in office would
Iowa have been able to create the
standing and reputation she has?
The same is true of all of the states
who have treated deserving sons in
this manner. The names of the men
who have shaped the legislation of
the country and the party for the past
twenty wears have none of them been
two termers. No, not one. Congress
is not county Office nor a state Office
for that matter, 1t requires more
time and experience to be of value to
your district or your state. 1t is not
always the man who is able to make
great speech who is OF the most value
TO his constituents One of the most
brilliant orators in the Iowa delegation
IA no doubt one of the LATEST men in
congress and of very little use to any
one except himself. A hard-working
conscientious man like Judge Conner
is often of more good to his district
than one of the most brilliant men.
None OF the men who have been spoken
OF as wishing to succeed him are his
superior in any manner and we doubt
very much if they are anywhere near
his equal When you bring forth a
better man in every respect than he is
then it is time to talk about his sue
essor.-Manson Journal.

Walter Georges English Light Opera
Singers gave-one of the finest concerts
on Wednesday night that has been lis
tened to in Germania hall for some
time. There were seven members in
the company, and each proved to be an
artist. Mr. Walter George is certainly
an artist in his line, and the many en-
cores he re .eived We're. without donbt,
deserving Mr.. Arthur Court, as terror,
will rank with with the upper class in
his profession, he having we'll culti-
waited voice. Mr.. Frank Swinford, as
bass, showed good range and splendid
voice culture, while the ladies. Misses
Margaret Long, Ethel MILFORD and
Georgia Martin We're fine. Miss Long
soprano, sang number OF difficult
numbers to the delight OF all, while
Miss Martin kept the house in laughter
whenever she appeared. Mr.. Claude
Russell, as pianist, shows by his work
that he was u musician OF ability, and
thorough culture. The chorus work
was fine, b,- voices harmoniZing per-
fectly. Petnaps the best piece on the
program from a comlcal standpoint,
WAS the doll song, m which Miss Mar

were greeted with prolonged applause

The Fonda Times takes the ground
that two terms are enough for any
man in congress. If this policy was
carried out throughout the country
very few congressman would have de-
veloped into prominence or have be-
come of very material strength to the
party or the country at large. We
do not call to miId any man who ever
made very much OF record in con
gress in two terms, unless he had an
unusual reputation as a statesman
before he became a member, while
the country is full OF men who have
acquired fame. but their time has
never been limited to any number of
terms States that have made Il prac-
tice of keeping good men in congress
have always been able to create an
influence and promote legislation
that weaker states have ever been
able to accomplish. Iowa for years
kept her best men in congress as long
as possible and the Iowa delegation
soon become known as one of the
strongest 10 the union. Dolliver,
Henderson, Lacey, Hull. Hepburn,
Cousins have become household names
throughout the whole country If
these men had been turned down at

'runneling Out Of Libby Prison.

James NJ. Weifs one of the surviving
actors in that astonishing epic, tells the
story himself in the January McClure's.
The Libby Prison was the place where
We're. confined, right in the center of
Richmond, some five hundred Federal
prisoners during the War of Secession.
Fifteen of these prisoners, bound by
oath to secrecy dug their way down a
wall into the cellar of the prison, and
then tunneled out of it and acrcss the,
street, out to the precarious liberty af-
forded by the streets of the Confederate
capital. Wells tells of the tunneling of
the escape by it of some two hundred
prisoners, many Of whom were recap
tured, and of his own dash out of the
city into the Federal lines The story
is one that stirs and impresses with the
extraord nary patience and cum ng
which comes to the imprisoned man
longing for freedom.

LYING AT PORT ARTHUR.
Seven Disabled Russian Warships
Described by Correspondent.

London, Feb. 16.-In a dispatch
dated Port Arthur, Feb. Is, a cor
respondent of the Times gives a
description of seven Russian war
ships which he says are lying disa-
bled there. They include the bat
tleshlps Sevastopol and Petropav-
lovsk, which have not been named
in previous reports of the action.
The correspondent says that all
together eleven Russian ships were
put out of action at Port Arthur.
Continuing he declares that the
Japanese were driven from the
neighborhood of Kin Chau, near
New Chwang, after a skirmish, in
which $50 Japanese we're taken
prisoners and 70 Russians were
killed. In an editorial article the
Times remarks that as this cores
pendent does not mention the Inju-
ries sustained by the battleships
and as the Kin Chau story has not
been reported from any other source,
it would be well to accept his re-
ports with some reserve.

Korea) with the object of entering
Manchuria, are confirmed.

Paris, Feb. 17.--An official DIS
patch received here today from
Toxic announces that one of the
most important movements of Jap
anese troops yet made is occurring
today. One Of the main branches
of the army, consisting of three
divisions and including a division
OF guards, is now going on board
transports. The previous land
lngs of Japanese forces in Korea
and elsewhere are said to have
been small compared with this
simultaneous sailing OF three di-
visions, aggregatlng approximately
an army of $4,000 to so, 900 men.

TROOPS IN COREA.
Japan Has Already Landed
$4,000 rlen.

London, Feb. 1.-THE CORES
pendent at Chemulpo of the Daily
Express makes the astonishing
statement that Japan has already
landed 10000 troops in Corea, So
600 of whom are extended along the
fighting front south OF the Yalu
River. The London press attach
es the greatest significance to the
departure of VIceroy AleXieff from
Port Arthur and comments upon
the sudden throwing of Russian
troops into New Chwang as indicat-
ing Russian apprehensions that
Port Arthur is in danger and that
the Japanese attack may not, after
all, be made where 1t is expected on
the Yalu.
All the reports tend to confirm
the impression that Russia has lit
tie or nothing to expect from sea
operations.
According to a dispatch to the
Paris edition of the New York
Herald 400 torpedoes, being two
thirds of Russia's entire available
supply of these articles, were de-
stroyed on board the Russian cruis-
er Variag at Chemulpo.
TIE Toxic correspondent of the
Daily Chronicle cables that it is
stated officially that several thous-
and Russian troops have reached
Antung and that it is rumored that
20, 900 Russians have arrived at
Ping Yang on the Tatong River in
Central Corea. The Chronicle,
however, regards this rumor as i'm
probable unless the invasion of Co.
rea preceded the outbreak of hos
tilities.
1t is said that Great Britain is
about to appoint consuls at Mukden
and Antung.
According to special dispatches
published here this morning from
Toxic, the Russian cruiser squad
ron has returned to Viadivostock.

WAR RUMORS,
But a Scarcity Of Definite News
From the Orient.
Japan Keeping Her Own Counsel
and Russia Glad of Any
Delay.

Washington, Feb. 17.-Rear Ad-
miral Evans, commanding the
Asiatlc station, today transmitted
to the Navy Department a cable
gram from Commander Staunton, Of
the gunboat Helena, in dock at
New Chwang, in which he says
that conditions there are greatly
disturbed, and that he is vigorously
investigating the report that Rus
sian officials have delayed certain
American and British merchant
men. The rioting continues, and
foreigners are threatened by Rus
sian soldiers.
In the event that the American
Consulate is endangered, it is stat
ed that Commander Staunton will
land bluejackets and marines for
the protection of Consul Miller.
There is every wish on the part
of this government not to give the
slightest cause for complaint by
Russia or Japan of Intervention,
but the unalterable American poll.
cy of protecting American interests
at all hazards will be adhered to.
Progress of War.
Rioting in New Chwang by the
Russian troops may force landing
of American jackies to protect
Consul Miller.
Admiral Alexeff will play wait
ing game, but will resist attack
along the Yalu river.
News of another dash by Japan
csc torpedo boats is confirmed.
Critics say Japan will make &c
general advance until army of 3OO,'
600 is massed and can operate from
we'll established bases.
St. Petersburg hopes severe
weather will force delay and per
NIT mobilization of Cars army.
st. Petersburg cables declare
teat Viceroy Alexieff will move his
headquarters to Mukden.
