Race is Growing Close.

Moline has had the school census
taken also, and a comparison made by
one of the papers there shows that
Rock Island has lead of only 60 in
the number of persons under 81 years
of age. Here are the comparative fig
ures:
Moline-Under 6 years, 2,034; be
tween 6 and q years, 5,467; total un-
der u years. 1901.
Rock Island - Under 6 years, .SO4 :;
between 6 and q years, 5,757; under
q years. 1861.
The difference between the totals
shows that there are 60 more children
in Rock Island than in Moline. which
figure multiplied by the accepted null
tiplier of three. shows a difference OF
$50 in population. For the children
under g years the census shows that
there are 230 more babies in Moline
than in Rock Island. though of the old
er children Rock Island has 29O more

HALF FAIR STOCK is TAKEN
Remainder of the $4,000 Will Be Sub,
scribed This Week. 1t is Said.

Over half of the stock in the pro-
posed new county fair association has
been subscribed. The balance will be
taken this week. The canvass of the
county thus far has more than met
the anticipations of the promoters of
the undertaking. who have been con-
ddent from the first that the farmers
would join hands with the people of
the city and more than hold up their
end when it came to matter of put
ting up the necessary funds.
The committee assigned to Rock
Island and Moline has not been as
active as the one appointed for the
country district, owing TO circum-
stances that prevented the members
getting together as often as they de-
sired to, but the canvass Will be prose
cuted earnestly this week and will be
finished before the end of the same.
There will be another meeting of
the general committee called during
the coming week, at which the placing
of the $4,000 stock will be reported
and steps taken TO incorporate, and
the building at the grounds ordered
and plans for the fair taken up.

SUCCESS FOR
THE RUSSIANS

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 3l.-1 p.
m. Success crowned the Russian arm.
les the first day of the great battle of
Liao Yang and the utmost confidence
prevails here that the issue of the fight
will be a complete victory for Gener-
al Kuropatkin.
From dawn until darkness yesterday
the battle ragged. first in the center and
left and then on the right of the Rus
sian line. The Japanese charged gal
lantly and desperately in ali effort to
ternoon, came movement against the
opposite flank.
This attack was delivered from the
west. but General Kuropatkin had
evidently anticipated just what hap
pened, for he not only met and repuls-
ed it, but actually was able by super
ior force to overlap and envelop the
Japanese. Last night both armies
bivouaoked in their positions.

General Kuropatkin's forces occupi-

about Liao Yang. the fiaaks resting on
the Taitse river, east aud west of the
city.
The battle divided itself into two
positions. After preliminary bonn
baIdment of the Russian lines on the
right and center the japanese infantry
advanced to the attack, charging the
Russian centre. Although repeatedly
checked they came with bulldog ten
scity, hurting themselves against the
Russian positions with the bayonet
There were many bloody hand to hand
encounters.
By noon the Japanese actually sue
ceeded in occupying portion of the
Russian trenches. Then General Ku-
ropatkin sent forward some reserves,
delivering a series of counter attacks
recaptured the lost positions and drove
back the Japanese all along the line.
