Railroad Men Making Big Nancy.

The number of resident railroad men
in Fremont has o diminished with
the removal of headquarters to Nor
folk. On the contrary IL has increased.
II Is a growing conviction that Free
mont cannot be permanently elimi-
rated as a division point. 1T was to
save constructive mileage that the
change was made" says a w~eli-known
railroad man. II was believed that the
long rum between Norfolk and eastern
points would serve to put money into
the company's pocket. They have not
done IL. There is more constructive
mileage than ever before and trainmen
are drawing the biggest salaries they
ave- got on Northwestern lines In Ne
braska. Brakemen make from SS5 to
800 a month and conductors $50 and
sl75.

TERRIBLE CARNAGE
Tho Russians Evacuate Lilo Yang
After Dogged Fight.
HARD RUSSIAN RESISTANCE
Bombardment Exceeds All Records For
yalor OF A%ssaIiants and Stub
born Defense.

The following statement was OBJ
TENED by the Associated press from
the wal office at st. Petersburg:
General Kuroki's army crossed In
force to the right hank Of the Ta,tse
river and 1t therefore became ncces-
sary for the Russians to be in a posi-
ton to repel a blow In this direction.
"In view of this development in the
operations. General Kuropatkin de-
clded to abandon his positions on the
left bank and to concentrate his whole
army on the other side Of the river.
This position is the strongest, both in
character and in site. The great issue
will be finally decided there.
by Withdrawing t o this position the
Russian army avoids the necessity OF
being divided by the river and enjoys
the advantage Of compactness.
General K%uropatkin's move. there
fore. is not to be considered as a re-
treat, but rather as the carrying out
Of q well-defned idea.
A correspondent OF the Associated
press at viadivostok t~elegraphs:
The fighting at Lao Yang hay
beaten all records for the desperate
valor OF the assailants and the invinci-
bic stubbornness of the defenders. The
whole history Of warfare tells of 40
such bombardments, no such carnage
and no such persistency. Day after
day the fight has been resumed at day
break and kept up with hardly a mo-
ments iutsrmission until after night
fall.
War-scarred veterans scarce believe
the stories which come from the seat
Of war, and declare that it is beyond
human endurance for an army to fight
without respite for a whole week, each
day of which has exceeded its prede-
csssor In intensity CT strength and car
nival Of slaughter.
After day the thousands OF dead be-
strewing the battlefield have 10 be re-
moved. The Japanese have invented
new methods to i%nGinerate the heaps
OF dead comrades. removing the ashes
for the honors OF burial in Japan. The
wounded present a serious problem. as
they tax the transportation capacity
IN both sides to the utmost.
The most difficult problem. however.
Is the bringing up of supplies of food
and ammunition TO every point of the
fighting line. which extends from ten
to twenty miles.
Never has such bombardment been
known. An eyewitness OF the battle
Of Vafangow told the Associated press
correspondent that many officers suf-
fered nervous prastration owing to the
terrible oar Of the artillery. and one
military attache had TO be invaded
home for the same reason. Yet the ar
tillery fire at V~afangow was far in
ferior in intensity to that at Lac
Yang.

THE KANSAS FRUIT
Reno County Will Employ 1000
Apple Pickers.
4oo, 900 BUSHELS THE CROP
state Horticultural statistics Relative
to This Years strs " berry
Production.

II is estimated by competent authori-
ties on the apple situation that 1t will
require a thousand men to pick the
apple crop of Reno county, Kansas.
This does not mean that a thousand
men should be sent in to do the work.
Not any should be sent in. for there
are enough men in the county to do
the work. The small orchards may be
oil picked by the owners and their
families and there will be many fruit
raisers who will employ one, two and
three men apiece. The bulk OF the men
will be employed in the big orchards.
Yaggys will probably have 5000
bushels OF apples. maybe more: the
Rayls will probably have as many as
10000 bushels; Underwood and Viles,
5000 bushels. and many others will
have large amounts. IL is difficult to
estimate individual crops or the yield
OF the county as a whole. because there
have been no previous years in which
the crop has been anything like the
crop this year, SO that there Is no
precedent to go by. II seems a safe
estimate by those who have gone over
the field to say that the county will
raise anywhere from 300, 900 to 400, 900
bushels OF apples this year.
The greater per cent OF these will
he late apples and they will be ready
Tor picking soon after September Is.
For thirty days the harvest will be a
big affair and several carloads a day
VIII be shipped out for weeks. besides
the large number that will be put in
storage In Hutchinson and in the large
apple cellars on the farms.
Secretary Barnes Of the Kansas State
Horticultural society Is compiling the
first statistics about fruit ever received
by the society and the statistics show
that some accepted statements as TO
the standing Of counties in fruit rails
Ing are at fault. For instance, Leaven-
worth has been accepted as the great
apple county. but for the last years
crop Sedgwick led the list and Leaven-
worth held fourteenth place. Doni-
phan county is at the top of the list OF
strawberry raising counties.
The last legislature provided for the
taking of horticultural statistics for
the state society by the township as.
SCISSORS and it is from these reports
that Secretary Barnes is compiling his
statistics. .,r
The reports show that of the coun.
ties raising LOCO crates Of strawberries
or over. that there are fifteen counties
in the class for the crop of 1903 anC
that Jefferson county got in by jus
one crate. The standing of the straw
berry counties and the number O
crates they raised in 1903 were as fol
lpws.

New Denver Mint Opened.

George Z. Roberts, director of the mint
OF Washington. d. c. The mint will
not begin coinage until July !, 1905, as
no appropriation has been made by

appointed superintendent of the mint.
The first deposit received al the new

Kansas Farmers Plow With steam.

Many farmers in the central and
western counties OF Kansas have
ceased depending upon men and horses
for their fall blowing and are using
steam plows. Last year the wheat
acreage in that part of the state was
small because the farmers were unable
to find men enough to put in the new
crop, The farmers are now organizing
companies and purchasing steam
plows, do the fall plowing for wheat at
n reduced expense and with more GER
tainty.
