a resident of Nashua. Iowa, and it was
he who induced Congressman Walt
Butler to attempt to have the pansy de-
clared national flower. Hopkins was
an eccentric character. He devoted a
large part Of his life to lauding the
pansy and devising schemes for revt-
sion of the calendar and remaining the
months. The writer has edited many
columns of his letters and communica-
tions on these subjects, all deeply in
teresting even tho at times indicating
a disordered mind. Mr.. Hopkins wrote
many beautiful verses which have been
published in the newspapers, some OF
his poetic productions being OF unus-
ually high order. He also at one time
had the idea that he was the Indian
messiah, the hero of the Sioux Indian
troubles some years ago, and he became
deeply interested in the Indians.

Policeman Andrews and together they
searched long for the thieves. but not
q trace of them could be found. An
derson had an ugly cut in his head
from which the blood flowed, and his
face was badly disfigured, but he es-
capped with no serious injury. 1t is
thought that he was followed from
town by some toughs who laid for him
at this place as this crossing is very
dark and the large barns completely
shut out all view that a person could
get of the alley.

trench around it's stone walls and sur
rounded them with wire entanglements,

temple, so the Russian brought UP ar
tillery under cover of darkness and
tried to breach the walls at q distance
of eight hundred paces but the shells
proved ineffective, anG unfortunately
not all corps were provided with field
mortars, with which they could have
quickly converted the temple into ruins.
Therefore, the Russians were forced to
leave the Japanese in possession Of

that village and the Japanese the other
half. A pool of water In the village

Washington, Dot. 17.-The war in the

o the administration and 1t is felt the
time is approaching when 1t will be in
order for the great neutral powers to
move toward restoration of peace.
Roosevelt. rs, from the first, stood
ready to use his good offices to stop
hostilities on a basis honorable to both
belligerents, but he is stopped from
moving by the fact that 1t is an un-
broken rule Of our government to wait
until it is assured both sides to a con-
troversy of this kind are willing we
should act. There has so far been no
open proposition, nor can 1t be truth
fully stated that even an indirect over
ture has come to Washington from

lieved signs point to an early move in
that direction.

failure Of the Russian offensive and
complete miscarriage of Kuropatkin's
plans, the battle continues and his de-
feat does not appear to be so crushing
and disastrous as the Toxic telegram
led the Russian public to suppose
while the tales of death and slaughter
have plunged the nation into grief, and
the exact situation of Kuropatkin's
army, especially the left, is not clear
but probably must be regarded as crit
ical, it lis evident that the wild stories
of rout and of cutting off of whole
corps, ETC., are baseless. Kuropatkin is
still doggedly trying to stem the tide
and there is nothing but admiration for
the heroic figure OF the Russian com
mander personally directing the fight
to save his battered legions. Indeed, tn
latest official dispatches almost reviv'
the hope that he does not consider the
battle to be irretrivably lost, as he has
personally launched attack after at
tack against the strong Japanese posi-
ton on Lone Tree hill, south Of Shak-
he, at last carrying it by storm and OBJ
tanning some revenge for the loss c
the Third artillery brigade by captur-
ing eleven field pieces and one machine
gun. But whether this offensive of Ku-
ropatkin was forced in order to extri-
cate his tanks Is not revealed, the war
office affirming It is unable to commune
icate the precise information regarding
what is occurring on the left Every
thing proves that not since the time OF
the anctants and certainly not With
a hundred years has the world wit
messed such desperate fighting.
The slaughter doubtless is appalling.
but the war office contends the Toxic
reports are exaggerated. Nevertheless
the war correspondent telegraphs un-
der yesterdays date that $4,000 wound
ed had passed thru Mukden on their
way north, not counting many from
the eastern wing who went thru Flu
shun district to Tie Pass.
