says a private telegram from Chefu,
probably from Russian sources. re-
ports that Rojestvensky began to
force a passage of the Korea strait
Saturday night without lights in two
lines, one on each side of Tsu island.
Heavy firing is said to have been
heard in the strait between $3.50 and

aged by collision with another ship.
Great Victory for Japs.

had gained a great victory.
Based on the meager details already
received here most of the newspapers
are ready to believe the Japanese
have secured a victory.
The secrecy maintained at Toxic

legations. At any rate Baron Haya-

Ordered Out by Chinese.
A dispatch from Shanghai says that

Anxiety at St. Petersburg.

mentous hour, the emperor, the ad-
miralty and the Russian public are
waiting breathlessly for the Japanese
to furnish authentic news OF the tate
of Vice Admiral Rojestvensky and his
fleet in which the hopes of the Rus
SLAMS are conferred. The official dis
position is to construe Tokios silence
favorably, but at the same time the
strategis reason for such silence is
recognized.
The public, altering the premature
jubilation of Saturday night, is In
clined to reverse it's attitude and to
become pessimistic.

Modern Craze for Wealth,

Unconsciously, most English men
and women have been thinking in mill
, lions ever since the American and
mining mi1honaires have come to the
front--and that is one of the main
causes of the distress which exists
throughout the country. In the West
End most men of moderate means
have been living as if vast fortune
was awaiting them in the immediate
future, their wives and daughters have
dressed considerably beyond their al
lowance; and in the city the average
business man will not@consider pro-
rosal that affords no prospect of profit
on large scale.-London Graphic.

Knapp, Wis, May 30.-Burglars en-:

Missouri would set mighty good
example to other states if this legis-
lature should follow the recommen-
dation of Governor Folk and adopt
resolution indorsing the popular
election of United States senators.
There would be peculiar force in the
resolution at this time, since 1t would
express the sentiment of both the
great political parties. The senate
is democratic and the house is re-
publican. If they should unite in the
suggested action their resolution
would be free from partisan color
and would be doub1y effective. The
demand for change in the constitu-
ton is, in fact, not confined to any
one party but has its foundation in
popular recognition of popular well
being.-Kansas City Star.

FIRST CHOICE Is HEREFORD.
Todd, OF Adams, Gives Reasons for
His Preference.

A. H. Todd, of Adams. is a staunch
advocate of the claims of the Here
ford cattle upon the appreciation of
stockmen everywhere. He himself
handles only Hereford grades. of
which he has 3S head ready for the
market, which were fattened on al
falfa and grain hay. While the Here
ford grade fattens easier than any
other, yet Mr.. Todd is careful to add
that the best results are from mixed
feeds. The animals mentioned will
average over 1900 pounds, and prob
ably consumed less food to get their
growth and weight than any bunch
of cattle ever fattened in the county
that were not of Hereford extraction.
Mr.. Todd breeds from full-blooded
males, and the present head of his
herd is a Missouri raised animal.
Mr.. Todd urges recognition of this
claim for the Hereford, both the full
blooded and the grades: that with no
other breed is there such a small per
cent of calves lost at birth. This
claim he makes with emphasis, and
as inviting comparison with any other
breed of domestic cattle on earth.
Mr.. Todd owns mountain range
around Meacham, and summers his
stock thereon.
