Arthur by land as well as sea, and
Admiral Alexief escaped at the
last moment by rail TO Mukden, in

Arthur in the near future is almost
certain and the warships in the
harbor, which Japan claims are
bottled up. can only be saved by a
miracle The Russians have al

the Lao Tung peninsula, and the
war is hardly aisety days old, AT
this rate the laps will be fighting
on Russian territory before anOth-

the Russians take a hopeful view
of things and it is said Gen. Kuro-
patkin has all along favored
abandoning Port Arthur and con-
ceatrating an overwhelming army
at Mukden or Hardin. The main
trouble now is to save the remnant
of the fleet at Port Arthur.

FIND MARKET FOR CORN.
Maple Hill Bridge Good for Shawnee
Farmers.

Last year when it was proposed to
rebuild the Maple Hill bridge across
the Kansas river the Shawnee county
commissioners agreed to donate $4,000
toward the new bridge.
The commissioners decided to do
this because of the help the bridge
would be to Shawnee county farmers
who find a market for corn in Wa
baunSee county where thousands of
head of cattle are fed every winter. In
Wabaunsee county the feeders are now
paying 40 cents a busheI for corn
while the general price elsewhere is So
cents. During the winter Shawnee
county farmers will sell upwards of
100000 bushels which means, at an in
crease of cents a bushel in the price,
$4,000 more paid for the corn than
would be paid if the bridge was not
there and the corn could not be de-
Ivered to the Wabaunsee feeders.

lowing:
A concersed effort is being made by

Theta Pi, to have John Collins par
doned from the Kansas penitentiary

the murder of his father in Topeka,
His sister, Miss Grace May Collins

John Collins was a student in the
Kansas university in Lawrence when
he murdered his father. He was a
member of the Beta Theta Pi and lived
in its chapter house, which adjoins the
home of ]. d. Bowersock congress-
man. Miss Collins is writing to all
who were members of that society
when John Collins was there asking
governor of Kansas and send the let
tiers to her that she can arrange them
and present them to Governor Hoch
She suggests that the letters ask for
the pardon for these reasons: That
the trial was held under unfavorabl BILE
conditions; that rehearing was re-
FUSED because of a technicality; be
cause of Johns good conduct before,
during and after the trial; because of
the absolute and unwavering belief of
all his family in his innocence.

posed that each of them will be asked
to write the governor in behalf of Col
Inns, and that all the mem bers in Kan
