The rain which came on Tuesday was
very much needed by the wheat and

need pasture for their stock just now.
The first farmer to plant corn in our
neighborhood was Sam1. T. Hindman.
He planted on April goth. 1t may do all
right, but the ground is very cold, and
sometimes the early worm gets out too

SOME Picked PORTRAITS
Ingenuity Displayed In the ArranG-
ing OF Different COIored Pickles
At the Worlds Fair.

st. Louis, Aug. 13.-Five portraits
made of different colored vegetable
pickles attract the attention and incite
the wonder Of every visitor to the Vir-
gtnia exhibit in the Palace of Agricul-
ture at the Worlds fair. The portraits
are in large smooth glass jars, and
were made by a deft weaving and
placing of the v%ari-colored pickles
manufactured from vegetables that
grow in Virginia. The blending of
colors is perfect, and the figures in the
pictures stand out as well as any made
in oil. Two of the pieces portray
characters in Dickens, the ones chosen
by the artist being Sarah Camp and
Wilkins Micawber. The other three
represent the discovery of the Missis-
sippi by De Soto, the rescue Of Capt.
John Smith by Pocohoatas, and the
third typifies a Virginia gentleman of
the old school with his retinue. Inter-
spersed among the five vegetable por-
traits are representations of all the
well-known flowers. In these are faith
fully preserved the coloring, the shape
and the prevailing characteristics of
each. The exhibit represents the work
of a talented boy in the employ of n
Of the big pickle manufacturing con-
Germs CT Virginia, and was made espe-
cially for the states exhibit at the
Worlds fair.

He PASSED FORGED PAPER
Robert Taylor, a New York Bank
Clerk, is Sentenced to Five
Years in the Pen.

st. Louis, Aug. 13.-Before Judge
John II. Rodgers, in the United States
district court, Friday, Robert Taylor,
formerly an interest clerk with the
Citizens national bank in New York
city, pleaded guilty to the charge of
passing forged bank notes. His SEN
tence vas fixed at five years in the
penitentiary and a fine Of 81.
Taylor was arrested in st. Louis in
July with unsigned bank notes to the
amount of $6,739 on the Citizens ma
,tional bank of New York city in his
possession. After stealing the notes in
October, 1903, Taylor forged the names
of the president and cashier of the bank
on the face of the notes, and then passed
them. William M. Suefert, a New
York attorney, appeared for Taylor,
and after entering Taylor's plea Of
guilty, made a strong prayer to the
court, asking for clemency and a light
punishment. He laid special stress ON
Taylor's 30 years service with the
bank, without his ever having commit
ted, or having been suspected of COM
hitting, a single offense.

Victories of Togo and Kamimura
Set the POpuIace Wild.
Toxic, Aug. 15.-Flags are flying,
lanterns are glimmering and cries Of
"banzai" are ringing in the streets of
Toxic in honor of the victories gained
at sea by ADMIRAL Togo and Vice-Ad-
mural Kamimura.
Underneath the Notification of the
~populace lies a feeling of deep satisfac-
ton and qualification at the disposal
of a desperately serious problem of the
war.
The Russian squadron which con-
fronted Admiral Togo refused battle.
1t was stronger that Admiral's Togo's
squadron in battleships and armored
cruisers, and had it elected to fight,
the result might have altered the for
tunes of war. The strength of the
squadron which opposed Admiral Togo
compelled him to draw vessels from
the squadron under Vice-Admiral Ka-
mimura, and this left the Japanese
navy powerless to operate against the
Russian V~ladivostok squadron

PORT ARTHUR IS NEXT.
Mikado Says Capture of the Strong

Lao Yang, Aug. 15.-All is quiet on
the eastern front. Apparently the
Japanese are not attempting any fur
Their advance on Lioa Yang, but are
turning all their attention to Port Ar
thur, concerning which there is con
siderable uneasiress here.
Reports arc coming in of several
land attacks on Port Arthur during the
last few days. 1t was stated on Au-
gust 10 that the japanese had before
Port Arthur 100, 900 men and 450 guns,
of which so are howitzers.
Whether Port Arthur stands or falls,
it will cost the Japanese enormously.
1t is estimated that they will lose 3d.
900 men if they take the fortress, but
if they do take it it will be serious for
the Russian srmy, as it will result in
the releasing of a majority of the Jap
anese southern force for an advance
of Lao Yang.

AN EDUCATIONAL FACTOR
A West Australian Gives His I'M
pressions of the Fair.
More to BE Learned in One Week
There Than In n Summers Tour
Through the Country.

St. Louis, Aug. &c. w. Harper, an
orchardist from West Australia, who,
with two friends, has been touring the
country in search of hints on agricul-
ture available in Australia, has been
the guest several times during the last
week Of A. H. Winchester, executive
commissioner from West Virginia at
the Worlds fair. In speaking Of the
benefit he had gained from an eight
day visit to the exposition Mr.. Harper
said:
I'VE were looking for a focalization
of the distinctive features Of Ameri-
ca and we have found it. The happiest
thought in the whole show is the feat
uring Tot only Of products but Of pro-
cesses. Personally, l feel that l have
gained more the past week in st. Louis
than I could in a summers tour
through the country. Some l have met
who we're disappointed in not finding
pleasure on every hand, and others
who spent most of their time on the
Pike. Having come to learn as well
as to be pleased, 1 am more than salts
fed. The exhibits in the palaces of
Machinery and Electricity alone re-
quire weeks to see and understand, and
l wish I could have spent four days in
the Transportation building.
"The first feeling On seeing the as
sembled products of other peoples WAS
Of dissatisfaction with my W coun-
try. 1t is worth the V weeks trip
across the world to be educated in this
way. The CONSCIENCE was a determine
ton to do in western Australia what
has been done elsewhere, and l shall
carry this determination back with
me. Reports Of the fair have reached
Australia and it was on it's account
that I selected this year for a Euro
pean and American trip. More Austria
lians will come later in the year. I
consider the few days l have spent at
the exposition of more advantage to
me than any similar period I shall
ever see"
