1t is almost certain that most of the MISS

ports from Port Arthur give the total num-

Russians as only fifteen, and two of them
have committed suicide since. OF the dead
and missing twenty-four were officers

THREE BRAVE EFFORTS
Attempts to Bottle Up" the
Russian Fleet.
SACRIFICE OF LIFE
RESULT AIMED AT WAS FINALLY
ATTAINED. -
Months Consumed in Removing the OBJ
structions From the Port Arthur
ChanneLStory Of Heroism.
BY WILLIAM e. CURTIS.

BY WILLIAM f. CURTIS.
Special Correspondents of The Evening Star and
Chicago Record-Herald
TOKYO. July Is. 1904.
The most sensational event Of the war
thus far was the triple attempt to bottle
up the Russian fleet In the harbor Of Port
Arthur. The japanese adopted what may
be termed the Hobson plan. and sunk no
less than seventeen steamship hulks loaded
with stone railroad iron and loose cement
In and around the narrow channel. They
were more successful than Hobson at San
tiago and the action of the water upon
the cement and other cargo was to make
the VESSELS practically solid blocks of con-
crete. which the Russians have been trying
for months to clear away by the use Of
dynamite.
The skill, GOODNESS, perseverance and dar-
ing displayed on the three different occa-
sons is unsurpassed in the history of hui
man warfare. The feat of our own brave
fellows on the Merrimac was trivial incl
dent compared with theirs. The result of
the first attempt was a failure, and the fate
of the men who participated in 1t made the
heroism of the second party even more
remarkable. And the fate of the second
party left the officers and sailors who vol
unteered for the third almost without hope.
They went at their task without the slight
est hesitation. however, although they re-
allied that 1t meant almost certain death,
and. as the London Times has remarked.
Their herosm was never surpaa ed and
rarely equaled in the annals of war Out of
the 15S officers and men who volunteered
for the forlorn hope only fOrty-One came
back alive. But the lives of their gallant
comrades were not sacrificed in vain. Hap
py, indeed, Is the country where bravery
and Intelligence are combined in so just d
measure. Japan has lost sons whom any
country in any age might have mourned
with pride, and it is their death which has
enabled her to develop a fresh stage in
what bids fair to be the most momentous
of modern

Sacrifice of Life and Property.

In the three attempts 179 lives were sac
rifced, and as / have already said. the
men who volunteered knew that they were
going to almost certain death. or at least
that the chance was very small that they
would return alive. The following Is the
record:

The Big
Discounts

Occasioned by our Midsummer
Sale will positively continue
all next week. We have done
a remarkable business during
this sale, and many people
have found the prices tempt
them to buy for future needs.
We have hundreds of dollars
worth of goods stored in our
warehouse to be delivered to
the purchasers in the fall.
This sale means a reduction of
at least $50 on our already
well-known low prices, SO you
can well imagine the saving is
worth considering.

while he went in to purchase hides.
While in the shop the horses be-

and started down Market street,
turning ran down Front until reach

leading to the stable. thence north
to the entrance to the junk yard,
running in and turning around and
coming back to the entrance and

CEERISEES A CLIPPING.
William Dresback Cut Il From
the Hooking Sentinel
SO Years Ago

William S. Dresback, real estate
agent, of 1867 City Park avenue,
and a resident of Columbus more
than 81 years, is the proud possess
or Of valued newspaper clipping,
yellow and timeworn, presumably
a portion of an editorial taken from
the Hooking SENL1NEL.
The article quotes a part Of the
famous reply made by Webster to
Hayne in the senate of the United
States.
Interest centers in the circum-
stances associated with Mr.. Dres-
backs acquisition of the clipping,
as narrated to a Dispatch represen-
tative on Saturday afternoon.
1t was in the morning of an early
June day in 1852, or So, that his
mother, Mrs. Dresback, now living
in Johnstown, Licking county, at
the age of SO years, prepared din
ner for him, wrapping it in a news
paper, prepatory to his long drive
across the country II or 15 miles,
with an OK team. The noon hour
having arrived, Mr.. Dresback ate
his lunch and having a few minu-
tes for rest began to read the paper
which had enclosed his meal.
Among the stories read was the one
mentioned, and so great was the
impression made by it upon the
mind of the reader that he decided
to keep it and to this day it has re-
NAMED one of the most cherished
keepsakes in the possession of Mr..
Dresback, who insists that he
would not part with it for a neat
sum.
The Columbus Dispatch of last
Sunday has this mention. Mr..
Dresback Is well known to our peo-
pie, having represented the county
in the Legislature and from the
time he eat his dinner on a log and
read the clipping above referred to
has been on the list.

Alex C. Sands, Jr., was in Ok
ford last week attending the annu-

tees of Mama University of which
he is a member. Mr. Sands says
the University was never more
prosperous than now. The Trus.
tees conferred the degree of L. L.
D., upon Mr. Sands old friend,
Hon Wade II. Ellis, Secretary of
State. Mr.. Ellis and Mr., Sands
began their newspaper careers to-
gether in Cincinnati. Mr.. Sands
says the new Normal School at the
University is great success, and
this is the first year of the school.
Fifteen teachers were graduated,
and long before the end of the term
every one of the graduates had Sc
cured engagements to teach. Mr..
Sands say that DR.. Guy Benton,
the President of the University, is
one Of the brightest and best read
men in his profession in this coun-
try, and the most capable and pro-
gressive head Old Miami ever had.

COURT PROCEEDINGS,

Court convened in adjourned aes-
sion, Monday of last week, with
Judge Wright on the bench.
As usual, John Fugate of Mon
day, had come to see his Honor on
the charge of shooting at one Yer
non Dicken, with intent to kill.
The jury said guilty. and John got
one year and two months in the
| penitentiary. The court perhaps
had some pity for the pitiful cries
of Johns twin sister and gave him
a light sentence. The court gently
reminded John that he was an in
human outlaw, and at the expira-
tion of his sentence, if he couldn't t
behave himself, the best thing he
could do would be to get some one
to kill him.
The court decided the case Of
Margaret Anderson vs. William An
derson, of Laurel township, in fa-
vor of Mr.. Anderson. Mrs. An
derson sued for her support. The
court found that the trouble be-
tween these people grew out of
insane jealousy on the part of Mrs.
Anderson, and that there was no
cause for jealousy, that Mr.. Ander-
sons home was open to her and it
was her duty to go home and take
care of it.
The case of William Weltner
against his wife was for divorce.
The court awarded Mrs. Weltner
the divorce and ordered William to
pay her 5000 alimony within the
next sixty days.
The case of Clarence Montgom-
cry vs John Morarity was decided
on demurrer in favor of Mr.. Morar-
ity. This decision is perhaps final.
A. R. McBroom entered suit
against the Logan Natural Gas &
Fuel company in the sum of $l5,-
600 damages for the deaths of the
children at Rockbridge by explo-
sion of nitro glycerine. mention of
which was made at the time.

were entertained for his recovery,
owing to such a serious loss of

sure road to recovery.

Freddy Warner Celebrates.

About seventy five of Freddy
Warmers friends responded to an
invitation to help him celebrate his
birthday anniversary, Tuesday
evening. Freddy will be IA years
old today the 23rd., but as the ele-
plants were coming to town, and
knowing his friends wouldn't miss
the circus he concluded to arrange
for their pleasure and celebrate on
the 21st. The company arrived
early in the evening stayed late
having the jolliest kind of time
playing games and singing songs.
Mrs. Warner provided an elaborate
supper for the young people, con-
sisting of all thes weets and delica-
cies Of the season, which added
very materially to their happiness.
The SENTINEL joins with Freddy's
host of friends in wishing him
many returns as pleasant and agree
able as the celebration just passed.

In the statement, last week, of

Webb. the fact was overlooked, and

The Judgment of these two ply.
sicians are the best the afflicted
can have, and they can be entrust-
ed in any and every case where the
knowledge and skill of a good
doctor is required.
