Northwestern Arms Trains

Having been warned that one
of its through trains was to be
held up between Missouri VAL
ley and Council Bluffs, the
Northwestern took the precau-
tion of providing an extra force
of armed guards Wednesday
and Thursday nights between
these points.
Although the expected raid
did not materialize, the railroad
people are not entirely con-
WINGED that the ''tip" was a
false one, as there is a POSSIBLE
ity that those having the pro.
ject in hand became aware of
the company's preparedness in
spite of the effort to keep the
matter a secret. It is under
stood that the railroad COM
pany received it's intimation of
impending danger from a man
in this city who devotes some
of his time to the work Of a
private detective.
1t is denied that there was
any special shipments of funds
or valuables warranting the
,trking of extra precautions on
general principles, or that any
considerable amount of money
is regularly carried on any Of
the Though trains. Nonpariel,

1853 Subscribers

! The first of May the Missouri
Valley Weekly Times started
canvassers out with the object
lin view of getting 1000 sub
scribers in Harrison county,
and we have succeeded far be-
yond our expectation. Next
week, September 9TH. we will
issue 1853 weekly papers and
every one of them goes to a
bona fide subscriber. Our list
is increasing at the rate of
from SO to IS each week, our
canvassers never bringing in
less than so each week, and
sometimes as high as Is. This
is by far the largest circulation
any paper in Harrison county
ever had, and makes the Mis-
souri, Valley Weekly Times the
best advertising medium in
Harrison county. We are glad
to say our merchants are APP
preciating the circulation the
Times now has, as the increased
advertising patronage we are
receiving shows. A circulation
is what an advertiser wants
and the Weekly Times now
gives him that by a large and
enthusiastic majority. An ad
in the Times is read by more
people than if put in any other
two papers in the county, and
the merchants appreciate this
fact. 1t has cost the Times
almost $1,000 already to can
vass the county and will cost
considerably more than that by
the time we are through, but
we propose to give the merch-
ants such an advertising med
ium as they have never had in
the county before. If the
present rate of increase keeps
up the Weekly Times will have
$500 subscribers by January
first and that is as big a list as
wes,care for with our present
facilities. Remember, if you
want your ad to be read by
EVERYBODY in the county put it
in the Times.

Five years ago yesterday
Rev. Mac Allister and family
arrived in Missouri Valley.
, During the past five years Rev.
Mac Allister has labored as
pastor of the Presbyterian
church and during that time
has preached some Of the most
eloquent sermons ever heard in
the west. He has worked hard
and faithfully for the upbuild-
ing of the city in a moral way,
and his only aim has been to
turn the worldly away from
their worldly ways and induce
them to be true followers of
the Nazarine, and he has done
much good in that line of work.
Very few families have located
in Missouri Valley in the past
five years that have become as
loved as has this family. Their
residence here has not been all
pleasure, as since they moved
to Missouri Valley they have
been called upon to lay the
flower Of their flock, Miss Sarah
Mac Allister, away in her mar
row home in Rose Hill ceme-
terry, but right bravely did they
stand their great loss. We hope
that Rev. Mac Allister may
continue another five years in
the passionate of the Presbyter-
ian church and that his labors
may be rewarded by a great
harvest of souls turned into the
paths that lead to eternal life.
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Warm
er arrived in the Valley this
morning and will make their
future home here. Mrs. Warn
er's health is not good, a fact
her many friends in this city
will be sorry to learn.
Mrs. v. Blakesley leaves for
Denver Monday for a two
weeks visit with friends.

About a week ago chicken
thieves were at the home of G.
A. Hester, between IL and l
o'clock at night and stole one
hundred nice, big spring chick
ems. One of the men ran into
a rocking chair that was stand
ing in the yard, waking Mrs.
Hester. She ran out with Mr..
Hester's revolver, and shot
twice. One of the thieves was
so badly scared that he dropped
his sack of chickens and just
left them in the corn field.
H. Franklin Harris and wife
leave for New York City Tues

months visit in this city with
Mr.. and Mrs. r. H. Harris.
Mrs. D. M. Hardy fell in the
cellar way last Sunday and
broke her leg. The fall was
about five feet, and the result
was a very painful shaking up
aside from the misfortune. She
is getting along as we'll as could
be expected, but it will be some
time before she will be able to
be around Logan Nuclues.

the machines developed a hot
box. Ned Blivens hauled it in

farm team. Such is one of the
joys of the automo1ilist's life.

Indifferent TONE
And Standing Firm Is Way Witte Elk.
pIairs His Great Victory.

st. Petersburg. Aug. 31.-M. White
interviewed at Portsmouth by the cor
respondent of the Solvo Is said to have
said:
You see what one gains by standing
firm. l was in a frightful position. I
had not the right to accept COM
promise and a rupture seemed likely to
enlist the sympathies CT all on the side
of Japan. President Roosevelt appeal
ed to my patriotism, humanity and
good sense. Fortunately, 1 succeeded
in holding out to the end. The jap
anese could not read in my face what
was passing in my heart. From the
outset, l assumed such an Indifferent.
tone that it eventually carried con-
viction. When the japanese presented
their written conditions, I laid them
aside without looking at them and
spoke of something else. On leaving
the room. l Intentionally forgot the con-
ditions lying on the table. When one
Of the japanese plenipotentiaries drew
my attention to this asking me if
did not wish to take away secret docu-
ments which some one might read,
put them carelessly in my pocket. 1t
was thus to the last minute of the ne
gotiation3."

LACK OF REJOICING
Shows That Japanese Are Disappoint.
ed At the Peace Terms.

Toxic. Aug. SIS A. MA remark.
able absence of rejoicing Is one Of the
most striking features attendant upon the
receipt of the news that practical con-
clusion of peace has been reached. The
kind OF reception that awaits definite
news will depend entirely on the nature
of the terms. 1t Is generally feared that
extensive concessions have been made by
Japan. 1t has been generally expected
by the public that there would be q rup-
ture at Portsmouth, in view of what was
RusSia's obduracy in refusing the pay
ment of indemnity.
The Jill says, this morning:
IAN agreement arrived at without 4
rupture can only mean that great con-
tentiaries. peace concluded upon such
terms can never satisfy the nation
The kainichi says:
I'VE are disappointed. We only hoped
that there would be a suspension of tho
peace conference. 1t is impossible under
the circumstances to conclude an honor
able peace.
THE fruits. of our arms have been lost
by weak diplomacy.
Japan victorious in the field. has been
defeated in the conference chamber
The Nichi Nichi says:
I'VE feel surprised and wonder that
peace could have been concluded when ev-
erything indicated the impossibility of
making Russia accept the vital demands
of our terms.
"In the absence of official information
opinion. but the indications are that moth
ing will ensure peace with terms that are
honorable"
The morning papers are generally angry
and say that peace obtained on the terms
reported is a humiliating one.

NO ARMISTIc DECLARED.
eIoodshed Prevented by Taoit Under.
standing Between Warning Countries,

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 31.-Up to
noon neither the Russians nor the Jap
anese missions had received any in
formation regarding an armistice. The
conclusion Of formal armistice is, how
ever. not so important or urgent as to
create alarm if 4 day or two elapses
before 1t is proclaimed. AS a matter of
fact a tacit understanding has existed
ever since both countries accepted
President Roosevelt's invitation to send
pIenipotentiaries to Portsmouth that
there should be no general engagement
until the result of the meeting was
known. Both Oyama and Linevitch
were ordered not to give battle with
out direct and specific instructions
from their home governments. Neither
side decided a formal suspension of
hostilities before the meeting as 1t
would be subject to demonstration.
The peace conference had no prece-
dent in history. Never before through
that intermediary of neutral pow
or had two warning countries met to
talk of peace where the one that had
suffered the defeat refused to acknowl-
edge or had been vanquished and came
not begging for peace. but with its head
still aloft, seeking 1t for its own sake
To have followed the customary pro-
cedure of arranging a formal truce be-
fore the meeting therefore. would have
placed Russia in the very attitude
which she disdained
