the Engagement.
st. Petersburg, Aug. 25.-Emperor
Nicholas has received from Vicerov
Alexeiff the following report of the
commander of the cruiser Novik, which
was sunk at Korsakovsk, Island of
Sakhalin, after a fight with the Japa-
nese protected cruisers Chitoz and
Tzushima:
AT the end of the fight of Aug. TO-
in which the Novik sustained three
holes below the water line, she passed
through the enemys ship with the
cruiser Askold l lost sight of the lat
ter owing to fog and to the delay
caused by repairing the engines.
On Aug. IL L entered Kiaochou to
coal and left there on Aug. u, round
ing Japan for Vladivostok.
"On Aug. 20 the Novik reached Kor-
sakovsk. At 4 o'clock on the same day
l sighted an enemys cruiser of the
Nitaka type and put to sea and en-
gagged her.
after forty-fve minutes the Novik
had three holes below her water line
and two above and the steering gear
was damag ed.
The Japanese cruiser ceased fight
ing and began telegraphing.
by the end of the engagement, only
six of our boilers were in good order,
and this fact. added to the damage to
our steering gear, compelled me to re-
turn TO Korsakovsk to examine our
condition.
I'm doing this, l intended to put to
sea again at night, but finding it i'm
possible to repair the rudder, and in
view of the approach of several of the
enemys vessels, 1 decided to sink the
cruiser in shallow water. The Off
GERS and stores were conveyed on shore.
"On Aug. n, a cruiser of the Suma
type bombarded that part of the
cruiser showing above the water.
'My casualties on the tenth were
two sailors killed, and doctor wound
ed, and on the goth two sailors killed
and fifteen slightly wounded"

AT the Bottom Of 1t.
1t will be strange if mob
rule under the pretense of law
in Colorado does not in the end
cost the state more and lead to
worse consequences than all the
outrages committed by the
strikers. From first to last the
government of Colorado has
been as blameworthy as some
of it's disorderly citizens, from
the time the legislature became
the servant of the smelling
companies instead of the peo-
pile who elected it, to the final
surrender of the government
and a resort to tyranny and
brute force. A close observer.
Ray Stannard Baker, in Nc
Cures Magazine, goes straight
to the root of Colorado's de-
moralization when he says that
the trouble is a general and
growing disregard for law in
that state, and he attributes it
to corrupt and rotten govern
ment running over a series of
years. Topeka Capital.
H. q. Huntington has ten
dered his resignation as vice

will remain a director of the
system founded by his uncle,
the late Coils P. Huntington.
Marvin Hughitt, president of

selection is considered an i'm

quite an interesting affair. 1t
that there was some
disagreement in regard to the
score. The Missouri Valley
score keeper had it tailed 8 and
9while the Dunlap score keeper
had it Z and s in favor of the
Valley. After some wrangling
as is usual under such condi-
tions, the umpire called it a
draw. Not being a witness to
the game, we are unable to
state just who was right about
the matter but from what we
learn we are inclined to believe
that the score stood Z and 8 in
favor of the Valley.-Du nlap

Headache Powders Dangerous.

Less than a year ago a young
woman in Warren county was
fatally poisoned by taking
headache powders, and in Cam
den this week a little child was
killed by its parent, who, with
the best intentions, gave it a
powder to cure it of the head
ache. The drug market is full
of headache powders of every
description. The great major.
lty of them are composed
wholly orin part of one or more
of the medicinal products of
coal tar. There is a large var
iety of these products, but their
use is dangerous excepting
under the advice of competent
physicians. Nearly every one
of them, if not the whole var
lety, acts upon the heart, at
times with fatal results, and
for this reason should be taken
or administered only by a doc
tors order or advice. Newark

turning it into a residence adj

by the motor company and by
Ed Wickham, VIM. Moore, Geo.

pany owns one-half of the park

that a revival of the fair would

property would make a desir-
able residence addition if the
project of retaining the track
and using it for race meets
