On the western coast of Korea the tides
of the yellow Sea are higher than any
where in the world outside the Bay of
Fundy, and while the rivers of eastern
Korea are clear streams, that run swiftly
from the mountains, those on the western
side are great brown, muddy rivers, up
which the th!rty-foot ocean tides surge
many miles.

AMERICAN BREVITIES.

There are 900,O00 books In the homes Of
negro people, and they own and publish
$50 newspapers and magazines.

The mountains, the nature Of the rivers
and the small size of the river valleys
make eastern Korea quite impossible
from military standpoint.
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1904-03-10

One of the great valleys in the western
half OF Korea is that of the River Han.
At its mouth is the seaport Chemulpho,
where the Russian cruisers Variag and
Korietz were sunk.

BATTLE-GROUND OF THE WAR.

Korea is in many ways similar to Flor
ida, although more mountainous.
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1904-03-10

Chemulpho bears the same relation to
Korea as Tampa does to Florida. The
former ls midway down the Korean peDin'
sula on the Yellow Sea coast; the latter is
midway down Florida on the Gulf coast
-
Western Korea is very rough country,
but it is cut up by large river valleys, and
near the coast of the Yellow Sea there are
many level plains. In the north is the
strategic Yalu River, the boundary Of
Korea.
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1904-03-10

The name Yalu means Dragon. 1t is a
beautiful stream. The Yalu is navigable
for sixty miles to the village of Chanson.

suited in her death last Saturday.

ed with the family from Illinois tt

Our attention has been called to the
fact that we did not give the chorus,
which sang at the dedication OF the
library, proper mention in writing up
that event. This is true. although it
was not intentional on our part. B. j.
Sibbert, who directed the chorus, had
been drilling them fer weeks especial
ly for this event. We venture the
assertion that no one in Denison can
take as iargea number Of voices and
bring them together and harmonic
them as well as Mr.. Sibbert There we're
forty voices in all and on the evening
of the dedication they rendered three
highly pleasing choruses, although
outdoor singing is considered to be
very difficult. The chorus which was
pronounced the best by the audience
was the one entitled "O'er Forest,
Mountain and Meadow 1t contained
very difficult soprano obligato solo
which was sung with splendid effect
by Mrs. Sibbert, who has wonderful
voice, which carried over the entire
audience. In fact, all the pieces were
we'll received and B. j. is to be con
graduated on the success of the music
for the occasion.

TAKES HIS own LIFE,
Louis Seyl, of Belden, Neb.,
Commits Suicide.
THREW HIMSELF UNDER TRAIN
Was a Member in Good Standing of the
Odd Fellows and X. P.'s. Trouble
Supposedto be the Cause.

On Monday afternoon a man who has
been around Denison for two or three
days threw himself in front of the loco
motive of fast moving gravel train on
the Chicago q Northwestern railway
just east of the old Luney Bros mill.
He was Instantly killed, his body being
cut in two. The engineer states that
the man was meeting the train and was
carrying his coat across'his arm. sWhen
within about two car lengths of the ap-
preaching train he threw his coat to one
side and jumped in front of the loco
motive.
In his pocket was found note book
in'which were papers showing Thin to
be Louis Seyl. member in good stand
ing of the Odd Fellows lodge at Beldon,
Nebr., and also of the knights of Pyth-
las at Dewitt, Iowa. The K. P.'s and
the Odd Fellows ofIthis city Immediate
ly started an inquiry for the mans rel
atives and the lodges at Dewitt and at
Beldon were notified. Tuesday morn
ing telegram was received from his
sister in Chicago saying that she would
come to Denison to take charge of the
body.
1t is uncertain why he committed the
rash deed. No money was on his per-
son, but he was we'll dressed and if he
had been distressed for money he could
easily have obtained assistance by APP
plying to the lodges to which he belong
| ed He was seen Saturday night, APP
parently in good spirits, inquiring for
carpenter work. On Sunday he tele-
phoned to Belden, Nebr., and said some
thing to the operotor about having
some trouble with an uncle On Tues
day morning letter was received at the
post Office addressed to him which was
opened by the !coroner and found to
contain ten dollars. The letter was
from friend and also indicated that
the man had had some trouble with an
uncle. Brooding over this trouble is
probably what caused him TO take his
/ life.

A RAJAH HIS BENEFAcToR.
American Doctor Asked to Enter Native
Potentate's Service in India.


DR.. G. A. Fowler OF Rittannins Pa.

He has also promised to remove to

physician ID Rajah Tlpe sahib. d dig
nitafy OF whose existence DR. Fowler
was in complete ignorance until some
days ago when he was confronted with
the rajah's courier ia ST Louis, says
the New York Times.
Eleven years ago, while III Chicago
attending the Worlds fair, Or. Fowler
was instrumental In saving the foot Of
young foreigner VINO had been tram

a copy of a western paper in which
appeared an advertisement asking him
to call at the Indian embassy st ST.

which had been given him for services
ct Chicago IN 1898 by a young native
Of India. The doctor hunted up his
medal and hurried to ST. Louis.
There he received presents from the
Rajah Tipe Sahib, who it seems was
the lad whose foot be had saved at

AN INEFFICIENT FLEET.
Admiral Tchuchin's Report on Russia's
Black Sea Ships.

Admiral Tchuchin's Report on Russia's
Black Sea Ships.
The latest proof Of decentralization
ana utter inettciency of the Russian
navy Is contained IN a sensational report
drawn up by Admiral Tehuchin, com
handing the Black sea feet, with refer
ence TO the recent naval maneuyers
held under HIS supervision. The re
port has caused a painful sensation IN
official circles OF ST. Petersburg, says
the correspondent Of the London Ex-
press.
The admiral's verdict pronounced on
his own feet is crushing He found
that Russian naval officers were entire
~ without love for their profession or
interest in their work Incompetence
prevailed throughout the fleet. When
maneuyering. ships were unable to
maintain their positions. The most APP
palling muddles occurred.
Sometimes, when the ships Of the
fleet were supposed to be in close for
nation. several would be found to be
missing altogether, and cruisers had
to be detached to search for them. The
signals from the flagship were either
not understood or pafp0sely disobeyed
Many officers, says the admiral We're
found to be devoid Of knowledge Of the
naval regulations. Admiral Tehuehin
mentions several cases id point. The
extraordinary lack Of discipline was
illustrated one night during The ma
neuyers by tile remarkable behavior Of
torpedo boat No. z73. The neet was
steaming Ia company When the torpedo
boat suddenly turned and disappeared
The wrathfal admiral dispatched a
cruiser TO look for tile missing torpedo
boat, ana after long search she was
found ia the harbor OF Yalta. Tile Lien
tenant in command and his brother Of
GERS as well declared simply that they
| preferred spending the night in port
/ rather than on the open sea.
Two other torpedo boats left the fleet
without the admirars permission and
were also found at Yalta. They were
tired Of executing eyolutions at night,
and the commanders expressed sur
prise and indignation when they
learned in somewhat forcible man
ner that the admiral was distinctly an
noyed.
on the fifth day of tie maneuyers
Admiral Tehnchin signaled to the leet
to perform certain eyolutions at d
speed not to exceed ten knots. Most Of
| the hattleships were unable to keep up
even this speed aud could not be han
died with sufficient dexterity to partic-
ipate In feet drill, which proved to be
an utter fiasco.
The admiral concludes his report by
saying that iii the Black sea fleet ever
has the misfortune to face the enemy
it viii be completely wiped out
