s1sTERsvILLE GUN CLUB.
DR.. Abner G. Thomas Donates a
Handsome Loving Cup.

Gun club matters have been
rather quiet in Sistersville for
some time, for various reasons,
but, with the advent of spring,
new life is manifest, and some ex-
citing shooting races may be look
ed for. We have some of the best
marksmen in the country, and
there is no reason why we should
not have a good live club. The I'M
tial spring shoot will be held next
Saturday at 2:30 o'clock. The
principal event upon this occasion
will be a fifty bird race for the
Abner G.. Thomas championship
trophy, emblematic Of the cham
pionship of the Sistersville Gun
club, and the contest will doubt
less be spirited. 1t will be han
dicap affair, and the better shots
will have no advantage over those
less expert.
This will be the first contest
for the above cup, and the result
will be looked forward to with a
great deal of interest. The cup
which has been donated by Abner
G.. Thomas-is a handsome affair,
and the boys feel grateful to the
donor for his kindness. 1t is in
the hands of the manufacturers
at the present time, but will be in
Mr.. Thomas window in a few
days. Who will be the first win
ner?

in a suburban school teacher once
proved that it may be embarrassing to
use oneself as an illustration. She was
hearing class in spelling and defining
words. The word orphan" had been
correctly spelled, but none OF the class
seemed to know its meaning. After
asking one or two Of them she said en-
couragingly:
"Now, try again. | am an orphan.
Now can't some of you guess what ii
means"
. The blank look on their faces re-
refined until one Of the scholars raised
his hand and said. in the most guile
less manner possible:

AFTER PORT ARTHUR

Fighting around Port Arthur is
now progressing almost without III
terruption, il reports from the seat
Of war are To be credited. The Jap
anese army is pushing the land cam
paign in every direction, and in this
it's leaders show that they are alive
to the position they occupy 1t Is OF
vital Importance toJapanese success
that Port Arthur should be taken
during this month. The Russian
forces are daily increasing, and when
they reach she point where relief
force can be sent to Port Arthur this
will no doubt be done. In addition
it Is said that the Russian Baltic fleet
will be sent to japanese waters dur
ing June, arriving in July, for the
purpose OF cooperating with the fleet
now at Port Arthur. la July the
rainy season commences, and Man
churian roads become impossible,
aud during this season aggressive
hostihties will be somewhat at a
standstill, resulting In such II setback
TO the japanese as would be hard to
recover from. Their forces would be
in peril throughout ManChuria. The
Russians claim to have strengthened
the works at Port Arthur to such an
extent that it is practically impreg
nable, and II this is true the present
seige OF that place must drag on for
some time.
1t appears to us that this is tho
crucial test OF strength OF the oppos-
ing armies, and Indeed that it is the
very crisis OF the war. II Japan sue
eeeds in the early capture OF Port
Arthur, her ultimate success may be
expected. On the other hand, II a
long seige becomes necessary she VIII

that Gen. Kuropatkin, with his pres

ership, he ought to drive the enemy

Both OF these plans are open TO obiec
