church by Rev. J. w. Cox, prior to the interment. As many peo- pie as the church could hold were present. The stores, banks and workshops were closed from noon to 4 p. m. on account of the obsequies. Rev. Mr. Cox took for his text, "There remaineth therefore rest for the people of God" For one hour he dis coursed eloquently on the un- fortunate tragedy and referred to Vowell as his personal friend and an honest man, who joined the church during the speakers early ministerial career, thirty years or more ago.
 The funeral procession was more than a mile in length. Al least 1 ,500.people followed the re- mains to the grave. In the principal street of the town there had been placed an arch, which was draped appropriately and surmounted with flowers. Dur ing the solemn march every bell in town was tolled. ."'

Six Hundred Cars of Berries.

According to figures compiled by a correspondent at Rogers the seasons strawberry ship ments in Benton, Crawford and Washington counties amount to 600 carloads, exclusive of express shipments in small lots.
 Early in the season the prices were in excess of S2 per crate, but later the quotation declined to as low as 75 cents because of the heavy shipments from the Missouri region.
 More than S300,000 represents the returns to the berry growers of the three counties for the crops, and S50,000is a low esti- mate on the money paid to pick CTS. As a rule the pickers were paid 1 1-2 cents per quart, and good hands averaged one hun dred quarts per day.
 In some localities there was difficulty in procuring an ade- quate number of pickers, and for this reason many of the growers had their revenue cut short through inability to market the product. The berries rotted in many patches as consequence of the scarcity of pickers.

BIG BLOWOUT AT TUNNEL C.
"Day1ight" Celebrated by "Inn-
 bibing" Freely Wednesday,.

Two wagon loads of beer and one of whisky was the treat fur nished by the construction com- pany for the 800 hands engaged at work on tunnel c, five miles from Omaha, Wednesday, the center having been knocked out Tuesday night.
 Anticipating the time when this point would be reached, the whisky and beer were ordered there in time for a day of drinking and "celebrating" Wednesday.
 This does not complete the work on the tunnel by any means. It only puts it in a shape that it can be more easily pushed along. This tunnel is about 4000 feet long butt is like a plaything as compared with the one at Omaha and some others along the line of the White River road.
 The whistles of construction trains on this road are now heard at Yellville and it will be only d few weeks at farthest until the seat of Marion county will be in- cluded on great line of railroad. It will be many months, however, before the tunnels encountered through Boone county, Ark, and Fancy county, Mo-, will be com pleted sufficiently to permit traf- fic to begin over this part of the road. Some of the best informed men, who are familiar with the conditions and progress of the work, estimate that such point cannot possibly be reached under two years yet. These obstruct- ions will be the last removed for the operation of the line through from Carthage to Batesville.

communicating a report of Lieut.. Gen.
Zassalitch dated May 10, as follows:
Troops, which appeared to be di-
vision of the Japanese guard, have
been advancing for the last two days
from Fengwangcheng westerly In the
direction of Haicheng.
1T is reported that Japanese force
consisting of about division of in
fantry intended to march on Saimadza
with 40 guns and 500 cavalry.
From reports received from the
river Dazaw it may be concluded that
the Japanese army is concentrated
in three groups, the two southern
groups being in the lower sec.
ton of the river Tayang at Hondou-
hanya, on the left bank Of the river at
Dayan and at DonamyO in the same To-
cality, and the northern group opposite
Habalina on the road from Fengwang-
chenf to Salidza. IA to 16 miles from
Fengwangcheng.
1T is difficult to obtain information
from the local Chinese. In one case
we discovered that the Chinese had
warned Japanese troops OF an ambus-

Paris.-U. s. Consul General Gowdy
recently received letter from an
American girl, saying that she was
locked up in provincial jail without
charge having been made against
her. The consul general secured the
girls release and return to Paris.
He then cabled to her parents, re-
siding at Decatur, Ca. requesting funds
for her return to America. The girl
related a sensational story. She
claimed to have been abducted by an
American seeking to marry her, and
said she accompanied him on an auto
mobile tour, and locked up in room
in a country hotel, escaped and at.
tempted to walk across the country.
but was arrested as wanderer by the
French authorities.
Inquiries made by Mr. Gowdy's rep
resentative established the correctness
of her detention at the provincial Jail,
but the story Of her abduction was
not verified, except by her statement,
which has been reduced to an affidavit
before the consul.

of martial splendor on the Champ de

held his annual review of the detach-
ments of all troops in the military dis
trict Of St. Petersburg. which include
every regiment of the imperial guard.
The foreign military attaches scru-
tinized with much more than ordinary
care the defile of crack regiments OF
the picturesque empire which is now
battling to maintain its position In the
far east. and the general verdict was
that no better body of soldiers could
be seen in ElAOpe.
The review concluded with the re-

full speed across the plain.

Therefore, they argue, fight of i'm.

The possibility of small engage.

The Russian force at Newchwang

There is reason to believe that the
Russians intend to hold the stations
and railroad between Port Arthur and
Liaoyang and probably Kaiping, and
that the latter place will be put in

that if it can hold out for three
