Toxic, Dec. 20.-Although accus-
toned to hearing of acts of bravery on
the part Of their soldiers and sailors,
the people of Japan have been thrilled
by the details of the series of desper-
ate torpedo attacks against the Rus
sian battleskip Sevastopol and other
craft driven outside the harbor Of Port
Arthur by the fire of the Japanese
LAND batteries.
Commander Yezoe and Lieut.. Naka-
hara are the heroes Of these attacks
and the former promises to gain equal
prominence with Commander Hirose
(who on March 81 last was blown TO
fragments in Vice Admiral Togo's sec
ond attempt TO bottle up Port Arthur
in the war traditions CT Japan.
Sailed Away Alone.
Commander Yezoe's fotilla Of tor
pedo boats was undergoing repairs
when the attacks were planned but he
succeeded in putting one of his YES
sells into condition for fight. On this
vessel he promptly steamed to the rem
devious, and finding that the other
had gone begged and gained permits
sion TO join in the attacks. Then he
steamed til. Jugh the snowstorm alone
and succeeded in locating the Sevasto-
pol, to which he was able to get close
enough to hear the Russians talking.
Yezoe fired a torpedo and then went
closer and fired a second torpedo.
when a shell from the Sevastopol
struck him in the abdomen, cutting his
body in two. Portions of Commander
Yezoe's remains were saved and
brought back 10 the fleet. They will
probably GENE to Japan for public in
terment. as was done with portions Of
the remains Of Commander Hirose.
Lieut. NakalIara went to the rescue
of the disabled torpedo boat which
had been under the command Of Lieut..
Nal1ahori, who with five others was
killed. AID submitted TO a deadly fire.
Nakahara's boat was hit repeatedly,
but he succeeded in rescuing ma
jcrity of the crew of Nailahori's boat
More e Admiral Tog0's men volun-
teered for participation in the attacks
than could, be assigned.
Togo &c Return.
II is probable that Admiral Togo
will soon return to japan, leaving O
junior admiral to conduct the final op-
erations and to continue the blockade
Admiral Togo's campaign of ten
months is considered equal to any in
the history Of naval warfare.
Teiegraphng under. date OF Dec. is,
Vice Admiral Togo says:
There is no room left to doubt that
the enemy's ships in the harbor Of
Port Arthur are totally unfit for SER
vice. have reason TO believe that
the battleship Sevastopol has been dis
abled by our attacks, but no definite
data on which to pass final judgment
has yet bocG obtained and investiga-
tons are being conducted in all avail
able quarters.
at is certain that at least six Rus
sian torpedo boat destroyers remain
intact in the herbo:."

MAN GOES TO PRISON
While Wife and Children Are Left In
Desperate circumstances.


Owosso, Mich. Dec. 20.-By the SEN
fencing CT her husband to Ionia for
three years for horse stealing, Mrs
William Carr has been left penniless
with her three small children, the eld-
est OF whom is only seven So des-
perate is the woman over her condi-
ZION that in a farewell talk with her
husband in the jail she said to him:
"You have a good warm bed and
enough 20 eat provided for you for the
next three years. l guess I'll do some
thing, too, 30 that they'll take care Of
me-"
The authorities desired TO place
Mrs. Chapman In the county house,
but she objected, because she would
be separated from her children. She
pleaded pitifully with Judge Smith for
some aid whereby she might be able
TO keep her little ones with her. The
supervisors will allow her 80 a week
which is not sufficient to keep the
woman and her three children from
want.

RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.
Thousands Killed and Injured During
Past Year.

Ihcusands Killed and injured During
Past Year.
Washington, Dec. 20.--The annual
report of the interstate commerce
commission has just been submitted
to congress. Here is what the report
says about railroad accidents:
During the year ending June 80,
1904, there we're 1926 employees in
jured and 1857 killed. The number of
passengers injured in the year was
s,07T and 80, killed. This is an aver
age Of 40 persons injured by trains
every month and an average of ten
killed daily.
There was great increase in the
number Of train accidents during the
year, which has led to widespread dis
cussion, and the causes assigned for
various accidents have been numerous
anC conflicting. Among those men
toned ere laxity of discipline, long
hours of labor, employment of mex
pe-ienced men, overtaxing the facili-
ties of handling business, influence of
labor unions and many others. The
commission recommends that the gov
eminent make an exhaustive investi-
CATION into the prime causes of this
great number OF accidents.

Flame For Consolidation May Yet Be
Kicked Over.
By City, Mich. Dec. Present
indications are that the plan of con
solidating BAY City and West Bay
City, which 1t was thought was set
tied by the last legislature, will be
accomplished only after a big fight
between the contracting parties. The
charter adopted at the last session OF
the legislature provides for a union of
the cities on the first Monday in April,
1905, and that the united cities shall
assume the bonded indebtedness of the
two cities, without reference to as
sessed valuation or assets. This was
agreed TO by representative commit
tees Of both cities and approved by
each council before the proposed char
ter was sent to Lansing.
Now n movement has been started
70 saddle all of West Bay City's debt
on the west eide BY the creation of two
taxing districts, each side Of the river
to care for IT'S own present indebted
ness, but the united city TO be
charged with ell future bond issues.
This is the rock on which the union
is likely to split.

The observance of Lent Is an
ecclesiastical season known In the
Latin church, we are told, dating
back from at least the fourth cen.
tu1y. As regards the manner OF
observance, various degrees OF
strictness prevail In the churches
Among these, abstinence of eating
certain food, and fasting, the with
drawal from places of amusement,
depriving ones self of certain pleas
ures, frequent attendance upon !di'
vine worship and the general OBJ
servance of the teachings of the
church. 1t Is considered a time
during which all worldly practices
are intermitted ard social functions
and gayieties are suspended. This
Is a religious custom prevailing es
pecially In the Roman Catholic and

Il Saved Ny Hand

Two years ago last August l cut
my finger with broken jug. It
was very hot weather and l was
working In the bark woods. My
arm clear to my body swelled badly
and blood poison set In. 1 never
suffered so in my life. For twelve
days and nights did not sleep.
NY friends said there was no hope
for me unless my arm was taken of.
I used San Cura Ointment as thick
as a dollar three times a day. 1t
stopped the pain and drew out
water, blood and dark pus, reducing
all swelling. The skin came of
my hand and arm, but thanks to
San Cura, l have a sound hand and
arm, to the great surprise OF all my
friends. You do not claim enough
for San Cura Ointment.

GOOD YEAR FOR
MAPLE SUGAR
The Harvest Will be an Excellent
One
Tn. Extreme Cold Weather Said to be
Productive Of Good Crop Of Syrup

Many of the old timers are pre-
dieting that this will be one OF the
greatest years for maple syrup and
sugar that has been known for a
long time. The reason for this
prediction Is the extreme cold
weather during this winter. The
prognosticators point to the fact
that 1t has always been the exper-
ience In the past that when there
has been hard winter the maple
trees produce more and a better
quality of sap In the spring than
when the season has been an open
one.
This will be great news for those
who are fond of these sweets, and
those who are fortunate enough to
possess a number Of sugar naples
sufficient to make 1t worth while to
tap them and make syrup and SD
gar are making preparations tor
the final tnaw the latter part OF
this and the first of next month.
They are expecting bette return
this year than for a long time from
the trees they have been nourish.
Ing, and with that In view will
leave nothing undone to gather a
full crop of these favorites.
Though 1t Is not generally
known there Is a large amount of
maple syrup and sugar made In
West Virginia. The northern part
of the State has large numbe: of
trees of the maple variety and
many OF the people put In the early
spring time In preparing the sap
for their own use. There Is v.ry
little shipped out of the State.
The largest portion of the pure
syrup In the United States comes
from the New England states, YER
mont and New Hampshire, In the
vicinity of the White and Green
mountains having a great reputa.
ton for this product. There Is al
so a great deal of it made In north
ern Ohio and In Pennsylvania and
southern New York. OF the latter
that which has the greatest reputa-
ton Is perhaps what comes from
Crawford county, Pa. There are
millions OF trees In that county and
In the early spring time the major
lty of the farmers put In their time
gathering the harvest.
