Made of Stern Stuff.

Mrs. Mary A. Livermore, whose
death occurred in May, spent the long
years of the civil war in tlreless and
wonderfully successful efforts to pro-
vide comforts and wholesome treat
ment for the Union soldiers at the
front, the sick and wounded in hospital,
and the convalescents. Through the
Northwestern Sanitary Commission, In
which she was one Of the most active
forces, she became n sort Of general
agent" for the mothers and wives of
the West in looking after the we'll
being of their "boys." She appears TO
have had the most intimate confidence
of them all. Even the children lis
tened to her pleadlngs, and brought
their contributions to swell the funds
Of the commission, and their smiles and
tears to go on record In her "Story of
the War"
One day a little girl brought to the
Chicago office flve-dollar gold piece,
which she wished to give to the SOL
dlers. Mrs. Livermore explained to
her that 1t was worth seven dollars
and a half in greenbacks, and then took
her into the storeroom and showed
what it would buy-so many cans of
condensed milk, SO many pounds Of
coffee, so many warm shirts, and SO on.
The little girl was delighted.
Meanwhile little urchin who often
thrust his unkempt pate into the room
with shrill cry of Matches!
Matchesw had stood little apart,
watching the girl and listening to the
conversation. AS she disappeared he
fumbled in his pockets and drew out
a small handful Of crumpled paper cur
rency.
"Here." said he. "I'll give yer suth-
In fer them 'ere sick fellers."
He put fifty-five cents in Mrs. Liver
more's hand, all in ffve-cent postal cur
rency, the only small change there was
then. She was surprised, and hesi-
tated.
"No, my boy, don't give It," she said.
IT am afraid you cannot afford 1t. You
are noble little fellow, but that is
more than you ought to give. You
keep 1t and I'll give flfty-five cents for
you."
"Git out!' was his dlsgusted re-
joinder. "You take 1t now! P'r'aps I
amt as poor as yer think. My father.
he saws wood, and my mother. she
takes in washin', and I sells matches,
and Tom, he sells papers, and p'r'aps
we've got more money than yer think"
Mrs. Livermore took the crumpled
currency. She forgot the boys dirty
face. She forgot how often she had
called him nuisance" when his shrill
cry of matches" got on her nerves

The protests of the people that the
Department of Justice bestir itseX in
prosecuting the beef trust has borne
a small amount of fruit. One of the
firm of packers has been fined 800
900 for conspiracy in accepting re-
bates from railroads. This is II step
in the right direction, but it does not
help decrease the high price of beef
to the consumers, in fact 1t may lead
to another advance, so that the Of
tenders can get their money back.
This prosecution has nothing TO do
with the case against the beef trust
which is still dragging along.
But how about the railroad man
ayers who paid the rebates, are they
to go free? Their offense is more
heinOus than that of the firm Of beef
packers who have been fined, for
there is an express statute against re.
bates and there could have been nO
conspiracy unless the railroad man
ayers were II party to 1t.

from Otaru says that the Russians
defeated at Dalin were about 500
strong, with six field guns and three
machine guns, and taking the fullest
advantage Of the Typographical char
acter of the district offered the most
desperate resistance. The Russian
positions were hidden among thick
forest and it was impossible for the
japanese gunners to make a correct
observation. The cannonade, how
ever, was opened by the Japanese at
6 o'clock on the morning of July Z
and was kept. up until dusk The
Japanese infantry, gradually gaining
ground, closed in on the enemy's line
of defense and awaited an opportunity
for the final charge. 1t was nearly
two hours past midnight when the en-
emy's irst line of defense, strength
ened by barricades and trenches, was
taken. This success was vigorously
followed UP, but 1t was not until 9
O'clock on the morning of July s that
the enemy was driven out OF the sec
ond line of his defense and victory
secured, with trophies of four field
and one machine gun. The nature of
the ground placed the japanese assail-
ants at great disadvantage.

Joplin, Mo-, July 22.-The food wa
ters Of Spring river reached the big
dam at Lowell, Kan, early in the day
and with all the floodgates open the
water raised within two feet of the
top of the dam. The gauge showed
rs feet OF water. Half mile above
the dam the water broke out of the
banks and flooded Vark, a little vii
lage, with three feet of water. The
wagon bridge across the river at
Lowell was washed away and the
bridge of the st. Louis and San Fran
cisco railway is expected to go at any
time. Good telephone service along
the river provided an opportunity to
warn people residing in the lowlands
and they sought safety on higher
lands. So far only one death has been
reported, that of Calvin Rudy of
Carthage, whose body has not yet been
found. 1t is estimated that damage
to crops and live stock will amount to
$500 900.
The railway situation in the vicinity
OF Joplin has become serious. The
Missouri Pacific has been unable to
get into Joplin for three days.

OPPOSITION ISSUES CHALLENGE
FOR DECISIVE TEST VOTE
ON MONDAY NEXT.

London, July 22.-The house of com
mons sat nearly an hour during the
day and then adjourned until Monday
to await the governments decision re
garding its future course of action in
view of the defeat of the ministry on
John Redmond's motion to reduce the
membership of the Irish land commits
sion.
Theshouse was packed in every part.
Much excitement was visible on all
sides and there was disposition to
view the defeat of the government as
more serious than it was regarded in
the earlier hours. Immediately after
the house had assembled Sir Henry
ampbell-Bannerman, the Liberal lead
that it would be unseemly under the
circumstances to proceed with busi-
ness while the government was con-
sidering its position. Premier Balfour,
however, declined to adjourn the house
until the bill dealing with the differ
ences of the Scottish United Free
church and the Free church had been
passed. This was quickly accom-
plished, the house rose and the eX-
cited members swarmed into the lob
bies eagerly discussing the probable
decisiongof the cabinet on the question
of resigning.
The view that the government will
resign, however, is not held in circles
generally well informed of the govern
ment's intentions and it is reiterated
that the resignation of the Balfour
ministry is not likely in view OF the
almost practical certainty that the
government viii be rehabilitated by
its normal majority on the trial of
strength July "a, to which the opposi-
ton formally challenged the ministry.

Chicago, July s2.-Striking team
sters, who have given llp their long
struggle against the employers. broke
ranks during the day in a stampede
for work. The barns of the strike
affected efiisas were besieged by men
who have been idle for months and
whose places have been filled by nom
union men. The employers in many
cases announced that there were va
cancies for only few OF more than
1000 men who quit not more than
1.400 or l.500 will be reinstated dur
ing the next few days. Coal teamsters
and truck drivers did not join in the
rush for re-enployment.
The order of the Transfers Joint
Council, which authorized the surren-
der, was for all men on strike to ask
for reinstatement. Both the truck
drivers and the coal teamsters balked
at this and plan to hold meetings and
fight it out till they can go back to
work like union men However, the
boycott against business houses has
been lifted officially by the action of
the council and it is expected there
will be no more sympathetic strikes
of teamsters.
Nearly every one of the strikers at
the department stores filed application
Tor reinstatement. In many cases the
men were put to work at once. The
express companies. which fought their
battle virtually alone and apart from
the others, are not to take back any
OF their former employees Police pro-
lection will not be Withdrawn for
few days at least, as clashes between
nonnnion mon and unionists are
feared when the latter return to wor..es.
