Often Wonder why '1is Sc.

Some find work where some find rest,
And SO the weary world goes on.
l sometimes wonder which is best
The answer comes when life is gone.
Some eyes sleep when some eyes wake,
And SO the dreary night hours go;
Some hearts beat where some hearts
break.
I wonder why It's so?
Some wills faint where some wills
fight;
Some love the tent and some the
field.
| often wonder who are right
lie ones who strive or those who
yield.
some hands fold where other hands
Arc lifted bravely in the strife;
And SO through ages and through
lands
Move or the two extremes OF life.
Some feet halt where some feet tread
In tireless march thorny way;
Some struggle on where some have
fed
Some seek when others shun the
fray.
Some swords rust where others clash
Some fall back where some move on;
Some flags furl where others fash
Until the battle has been won.
Some sleep on while others keep
The vigils Of the true and brave;
They will not rest till roses creep
Around their nGme above the grave.

LIES Pathway.

Rough was the road; the burning sun
Sl1one fierce upon his head.
The way was long, the goal half won,
TO which his footsteps led;
Athirst and furnished went he on
With weary feet that bled
No field of bloom, no warning trees,
Saw he on either hand;
Rock, hill and gorge, and only these,
Wild natures sterile land!
A brazen sky-no stirring breeze,
His feverish temple fann'd!
O! land forsaken! cried he loud!
Of breaking heart OF mine!
CA blazing sun, and not cloud,
Between him ard its sllineD
And goes he on, with forehead how'd,
Der hill and gorgc's line.
Not all is waste; beyond some hill
A fairer view shall ope'.
o! heart of man! have faith until
God reads the horoscope!
O! stricken hearth OF stubborn Wilt
In Him place every hope!
What SO the path be rent and bare!
Hopes dawn with rosy beam
Stall pierce The burning desert air,
With bloom the valleys TEEN!
And faith shall Danish every care,
The past be as dream!

WITH THE POETS

' v v
At Rest.
How cruelty cold are the moonbeams
That stab through the darkness to-
night!
How sad, how unearthly, the calling
That marks where the owl wings it's
fight!
l wander alone where the tombstones
Are keeping their watch DER the
dead,
They are sentinels faithful, tho olden,
They have. watched while long ages
have fled.
On the breastplates OF each hoary
Waterman
Is craven the tale of life
A tale that is told by the sorrow
OF parent or husband or wife.
Apart, there is one lonely sentry,
The moon lights the tale on his
breast.
IT'S simple-the name OF a woman,
And beneath this is written, "At
Rest"
cat RestY Had she no one to love
her,
None to tell of her joys and her
woes?
None to speak cen a word of her
praises
To the sentry that guards her
repose!
IT'S the sentry himself that makes
answer,
That speaks to my heart thro' the
gloom;
"'Twas rest that she sought all thro'
lifetime;
She found it, at last, in the tomb!
More fair than a lily in springtime
Was she in the lost days of youth,
When her innocent feet knew one
pathway,
The pathway of virtue and truth.
She loved one above her, who turned
from
Her gentle affection with scorn;
| She planted rose in her bosom,
1t faded and left but thorn.
Then she sought for balsam, to quiet
The ache of her poor heart within
All! that she had borne it forever!
For the balsam she chose, it was sin!
Man hated but still could God love her,
And the wound in her poor heart
could close,
The heart that in man found revile-
ment
In the mercy of God found repose.
God loved her! His love would not
suffer
Her sad, weary feet long to roam,
And the angel that bore her His
pardon,
Called the penitent Magdalene
home!"
At rest is her soul with its Maker,
And her heart meath the mould is a
rest;
OF the tales that the tombstone ma,
tell lis,
| This sentry's is simplest and best.

Fierce Battle
Is Reported

st. Petersburg, Aug. 1O.-There are
persistent rumors that the right flank
of the Russian force that has been NOV
ing north from Haicheng toward Lao
yang has been heavily attacked by a
division that has advanced ahead Of
the main army of General Oku. De-
tails are wanting and the general staff
has received no official confirmation of
the engagement. 1t is known, how
ever, that General Fukushima is adj
vancing from Newchwang and it will
occasion no surprise if the attacks at
this point are vigorous and persistent.
In addition to the promise of sharp
fighting between Haicheng and Lao
yang, there is rumor that General
Kuroki is secretly attempting to out
flank the Russian left with view to
putting force to the south Of Mukden,
thus possibly cutting off Viceroy Alex
Jeff and General Kuropatkin, who were
yesterday at Liaoyang. The Japanese
have carefully concealed this move
ment, if it has taken place at all, and
the general staff is not inclined to
credit the rumor.
The city is full of wild rumors that
Port Arthur has fallen, due to reports
from Chefoo of another assault in
which the fortress was taken by the
combined and and sea forces, though
the Japanese lost three warships, in
Guiding the protected cruisers Chiyoda
and Itzukusbima. There is not the
slightest confirmation of these rumors.
1t is believed tina the Japanese are
still unable to capture the outer works,
much less the fortress itself.
Newchwang-A Japanese gunboat
which has returned from trip up the
river reports that she fred few shots
at the sunken gunboat Sivoutch, which
was souttled by her crew and not
blown up, a previously reported. The
Russians destroyed their stores before
leaving for Haicheng, either owing tc
being in hurry or on account Of de-
fective transportation. All is quiet
here and trade is fairly brisk, consider
ing the circumstances.

Situation al
Port Arthur

The Shanghai correspondent of the
London Morning Post, cabling Wednes-
day morning, states that he has re-
ceived information from reliable
source" that conditions within Port
Arthur are appalling. The garrison is
famine stricken and has been deprived
of meat or vegetables other than rice
for weeks. The result is that the suf-
ferings of the sick and wounded are in
describable.
According to the correspondent,
there are upwards OF 10000 in the hos
pitfalls and doctors are unable to attend
to all of them. This latter state of af-
fairs has resulted in many deaths of
patients who might have been saved
had they had proper care.
The correspondent closes his dispatch
with the amazing announcement that
General Stoessel, who was in supreme
command in Port Arthur, committed
suicide because he was unable to re-
lieve the sutferings OF brave men under
his command. The fact has been sup
pressed, declares the correspondent, be-
cause of the effect it would have upon
the garrison.
None Of the other London dailies
have any information confirinatory of
the Posts advices and they are not
credited. 1t is pointed out
that, so far as General Stoessel is con.
cerned, dispatches signed by him have
been given out at st. Petersburg and
that refugees who won their way from
the fortress during the last fort night
say that General Steossel has been the
life of the seige and has been very
much in evidence at all hours of the
day and night. That there is suffering
in Port Arthur is undoubtedly true; al
30 that many of the garrison are sick
and wounded, but the Post correspon-
dents figures seem much too high and
are undoubtedly exaggerated.

Wheat Prices
Going Upward

Chicago, Aug. 9.-Wheat scored a
sensational advanced today under a
furious demand from bulls and bears
alike. For September delivery, the
principal trading option, there was
bulge of $40, but this was outstripped
by the figures for other months, Decem
Der and May each scoring an advance
of 4 lc on top of an almost unprecnted
gain of sc bushel during the preced-
ing week.
On reports that the spring wheat
crop in the northwest is being largely
destroyed by black rust, every trader
seemingly who was sort became frantic
to cover his trades. September started
at 971tc, and closed at only 1sc under
the top figure. May opened at CSC to
$50, sold at $l.02 and closed at $1.O17s.
Nothin quite 80 radical as today g
sharp rise in values following the con-
tinued advance last week has been wit
messed in the wheat pit for long time.
According to private dispatches, the
wheat in the northwest had apparently
been more or less affected by the dead
ly rust. Reports indicated loss Of the
entire crop in sections, while the per-
centage of damage in field after field
was described as extremely heavy.
September wheat, which opened
strong at 97lac to 97Ac, went to
*l.OO1s in a succession of leaps with
few pauses, when holders, satisfied
with their profits, realized. Many such
sellers, howerev. and bears in the pit
who have scotfed at the increasing ad.
vices of rust enrcoachments were soon
in the big rush for grain, and carried
the price of September to $1.O1ls.
There were bearish features in the
foreign market, and statistics showed
the worlds shipments to exceed esti-
mates by over million bushels, but
such news was overlooked in the gen.
ersl fright that appeared to possess
trauers. September closed strong at
*lOl. The amount of wheat on pas
sage was 36,640,000 bushels, against
SS,7l2,0 900 last week and "a, 5as, 900 a
year ago. The visible supply was 12,.
100000 bushels.

Biggest Battle
at Port Arthur

London, Aug. 1.-THE Chefoo cor
respondent of the London Daily Tele-
graph, one of that newspapers most re
liable men, under last nights date,
states that two messengers have arrived
there from Port Arthur bringing ac-
count of the most desperate fighting of
the war, which is said to have occurr-
ed, beginning on last Sunday and last
ing for three days.
According to the correspondent the
Japanese following their capture of
Wolf Green mountain (Wolf hill) i'm
mediately began their preparation for
an assault upon the chain of forts,
which line the limits of town. Brig
ade after brigade was moved until fin
ally three divisions of Japanese troops
occupied position stretched entirely
across the country beyond Port Arthur.
the attacking forces were SO disposed
that it was enabled to attack in four
divisions, two central of which were
much the strongest numerically.
After the Japanese had disposed of
their forces they began a cannonade,
the strength of which was very much
greater than any which the garrison
had previously experienced. For four
hours the enormous seige guns poured
hundreds of pounds of metal into the
Russian Notifications and many of the
garrison were killed or wounded before
nightfall caused the enemy to cease
their efforts.
The Japanese are using the Shanhai-
kwan Kinkow railway for provisioning
the army and mobilizing troops for an
attack on Sinmintun, about 80 miles
west of Mukden.
Sinmintun is the northern terminus
of the Saskatchewan railway. From
about 20 miles southwest
of Sinmintun, a branch line connects
with it in Korea, which is about 53
miles southeast of Koupangtze.
A Russian correspondent of the Asso
ciated Press, in dispatch from Tat
chepiao about a month ago, said it was
believed that the Shanhaikw railway
was then under the control of the jap
anese with the consent of China.
As early as March 80 last, the Shan
haikwan correspondent of the London
Daily Mail asserted that the Chinese
had received Official authorization to
turn over the plant of the railway to
the Japanese.
The Japanese are in control of the
gulf Of Laiotung, and should the state
ment in the dispatch from Mudken
prove to be correct, it would indicate
that they are landing troops at Shan
the southern terminus of the
railway, and transporting them to Sim
mintun. The strategic Importance of
the possession of the railway, which
was sought by the Russians early in
the war, is apparent.

76 Bodies Found

Pueblo, Col, Aug. 9.-The wreck Of
the Worlds Fair flyer on the Denver
d Rio Grande, near Eden, seven miles
north Of Pueblo, proves to have been
one of the most tragic railroad disas.
tiers in the history of this country. Two
crowded passenger cars and baggage
car were engulfed in the torrent that
tore out trestle spanning Steele's hol-
low, otherwise known as Dry creek,
and, so far as known, only three of the
occupants of these cars escaped death.
Fortunately two sleepers and diner,
completing the train, remained on the
track at the edge of the abyss and none
of their occupants was killed or in
jured.
How many persisted probably will
never bedefinitely ascertained, for the
sands are drifting ever the bodies. At
9 O'Clock this evening rs bodies had
been recovered and Of these 80 had been
identified. During the day bodies were
recovered all the way along Fountain
river from the scene of the wreck to
this city. At O'Clock this afternoon
two bodies were taken from the stream
at First street, Pueblo, more than eight
miles from the point where the disaster
occurred.
