With glad cry and a mighty sweep
of his wings, he rose in the blue sky
above and disappeared from view.

IN THE SWIM.
Petition Asking For Rural
Route out of Gracey.

A petition signed by one hundred
citizens has been forwarded to the
Fourth A ssis tant Postmaster
General at Washington, asking
that a rural free delivery route be
established out of Gracey. The pro-
posed route runs by way of old
Belleview to the Cerulean Springs
road thence to the Baker place,
thence to Rector's shop, Rocky
Ridge, Montgomery and back to
Gracey, via the old EddyvilIe road to
the Bryant farm. The route, as
proposed, is about twenty-four miles
in length and about five hundred
people would be served.
A petition has also been prepared
and sent to Washington, requesting
that another route be established
out of Cerulean Springs to be known
as route No. 2. This route, as laid
out, extends from the Springs to
Lander's branch, thence to Old
Belleview, thence down the old Ed
dyville read to the Irwin farm, thence
to the Cadiz and Wallonia road,
thence to Broadbent's and from
there to Cerulean. The latter pro-
posed route parallels the former for
some distance, covering the same
territory.
The proposed route out of Cerul-
can is about twenty-four miles long
also and probably four hundred
people would be served.

Prisoners to Japan.

New Chwang, March 10. The
question of transporting and caring
for the thousands of Russian prison
ers is now engrossing the attention
of the Japanese authorities. Over
10000 will be sent to Japan. The
Japanese officers arriving say the
Russian soldiers are surrendering in
a constant stream and great bodies
of men lneeling, beg mercy of their
victors. Starving, wounded and
half frozen Russians, the officers
say are hiding in the country side
and must either surrender or starve
to death.

Oyama is Taking His Time
and Allowing his Tired
Troops Rest.
RUSSIA SAYSMORE WAR.
Awful Defeat Brings Russi-
ans to Their Senses-May
Fight Again.

AS after the battle Of Lao Yang,
the advance Of the Japanese army
against the new positions of the Rus
slams at Tie Pass is very slow The
leading columns are eight or ten
miles southwark and in touch with
the Russian van posts, but the opera
tions at present are not serious.
Field Marshal Oyama shows slight
intentions of pressing his advantage
in an immediate attack on Tie Pass.
1t is possible, however, that a wide
turning movement of which reports
are kcurrant, is in progress. In
such operations the japanese have
the immense advantage Of several
bases and lines of supply, to which is
now added the Sinminitin road,
while the Russian army necessarily
is dependent on one base and one
line of communication and therefore
may easily be outfianked.
n In the grand army order is being
brought of chaos with remarkable
CELEBRITY.
The Russians, reorganized, are now
gathered singing about the camp
fires with new courage, ready to OPP
pose with stubborn resistance an at
tack on Tie Pass.
By delay in pressing his pursuit
Oyama has afforded Gen. Kuropatkin
time to sort out the disorganized
units of his command and restore his
forces to at least a semblance of or
der. So far as known there is no
considerable force of Japanese near
err to Tie Pass than six or eight
miles. From Japanese sources it is
reported that many struggling par
ties of Russians, cut 0sf from their
commands in the retreat from Muk-
den, are surrendering upon the APP
pearance of Japanese troops. The
Council of War summoned by En-
peror Nicholas is reported to have
decided yesterday that the war must
be carried forward. The all import
ant question of financial means, how
ever, is said to have reached no So
luton, the situation being complicat-
ed by the reported decision of French
capitalists not to negotiate the loan
recently offered by st. Petersburg.
