not know until he reaches New York,

who committed suicide as the result OF
the establishment by the Japan

custom is that persons whose brother
commits suicide, must also do so.
Friends here hope that Min will not

The Batesville editor is beside himself in his re- peated hysterical ravings over this affair. The idea of compar- ing the mob which punished the most dastardly crime ever known in Arkansas to that which cruci- fled Christ is repugnant to any people of the least common sense and too coarse for publication.

THE GLOBE-DEMOCRAT

Those of our readers who, in addition to their home paper, want a national news and family journal, are advised to subscribe for the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, which is published in the solid central city of the union and stands in the very front among the really great newspapers of the world. The daily Globe Democrat has no equal or rival in all the west and ought to be in the hands of every reader of any daily paper. The Weekly Globe-Democrat, issue d In semiweekly sections, a big semi weekly at one dollar per year, is indispensable to the farmer, the merchant or the professional man who desires to keep thoroughly posted, but who has not the time to read large dai- ly paper, while it's great variety of well-selected reading matter makes it invaluable to every member of the family.

ANENT LYNCHINGS.

Local public opinion is con- vinced that in Loui Allwhite the mob exacted the life of a man guilty of one of the foulest crimes ever chronicled, and with this security that an innocent man had not paid the penalty, the awful affair lost interest. Yet the opinion of the press rel ative to he mob continues to find expression.
 There is little of censure in all these discussions. For the most part the authors have been con- tent to rest the responsibility of it upon those who knew all the facts, and have reserved their judgment. Representative Keel breaches the subject in his ad- dress to the house as temporary speaker, and openly defends mob law in cases of proven assault and murder.
 Therein lies the danger of rnoh, 5. What shall constitute nrsof and who shall be the judges? Are men aroused to vengeance for crimes that are sufficient to make their blood run hot, fit personnel for a jury in this land of boasted freedom and security? Is the evidence nec- essary to convict in the minds of frenzied men always proof in the eyes of deliberate jurors sworn to weigh the testimony and deal justice. Are the courts of Judge Lvuch ever so fair and trust worthy as the constituted trl- bunals of our land?
 Usurping aa authority that is not theirs, taking 3 life to which they have no right, thus placing themselves as common murder CTS in the eye of the law, is the responsibility mob take upon themselves.
 And while in this late instance the gallows have undoubtedly been cheated, mob spirit is infec- tious and may sometime lead to that awful calamity of taking the life of the innocent. For this reason it behooves us to uphold the law, our courts and ofhcers as we do value the good name o1 our community and the rights o1 the individual.

Kansas is again attracting at tention by reason of another freak product. Senator Smith has prepared a bill making mar riage a civil contract with time limit and it is offered as an anti dote to the divorce evil. Pro- gressive polygamy, the idea is proclaimed by St. Louis society women, and all sorts of pet names are hurled at this harmless statesman from the Kansas prai- ries who only sought to make home life more peaceable by placing husband and wife on probation.

The opinions of public men OF all
ranks have been canvassed; but few
of those questioned would venture be

Russia, to reinstate herself, will turn
her attention to the northwestern
frontier Of India.
Another point exciting keen inter

in possession nof Port Arthur. The
idea is, however, that Great Britain
will continue to hold Wei Hal Wei.

the capture of Wsntai involved six
hours OF TIE fercest lighting, while
the attacks on the forts to the south
east were carried on simultaneously.
Describing the final scenes, the CORE
spondent says.
"The slackened fire at points in
northern and eastern forts seemed TO
show that Russian ammunition was
failing. The position was now desper-
ate. Great explosions around the forts
proclaimed that the Russians were ex-
ploding their magazines. Flames and
smoke in the harbor were followed by
explosion after explosion. which re-
vealed the destruction OF the Russian
ships. The Russians also apparently
blew up two Of their own forts. The
battleship Sevastopol was blown up
and the other warships were destroyed
as thoroughly as possible. The bat
tleships Retvizan and Poltaya and the
protected cruiser Pallada caught fire. "

to be magnanimous in view OF the gar

has not been informed OF the result OF

In military circles the opinion waS
expressed that the discussion covered
only a few questions. including allow
ing the garrison to march out carrying
their arms, permitting the garrison to
return to Russia with or without their
officers. and requiring their parole not
to take any further part in the war.
II is possible that Japan will per
nit the entire garrison to return to
Russia with arms upon giving their
parole.

THE NEWS KEPT FROM RUSSIA
Public Entirely Unprepared For News
of Surrender.

st. Petersburg. Jan. 3.-While there
is no longer any doubt in official cir
cles that the fate Of Port Arthur has
been decided and General Stoessels
long and gallant defence ended, news
of the surrender has not yet been al
lowed to reach the public. The gov
eminent is following the dictates OF
its own judgment in this course; but
the public so far is entirely unprepar-
ed for news which must prove ser
ious blow when II comes.
It has been learned that the last
telegram sent by Emperor Nicholas to
General StOessel vested the command
or of the Port Arthur forces with dis
cretionary powers. and urged him to
exercise them rather than allow the
defence to 90 to the last ditch. This
may account for the apparently brief
time required to conclude the negOtil-
lions between the Russian and Japan
csc commanders, no time having beer
occupied in communicating with En-
peror Nicholas. II Is equally certain
that General StOessel did not sur
render without previous authorization
In diplomatic circles where there Is
every reason to believe there Is tn
best information regarding the plans
of the Japanese II is stated that the
fall of Port Arthur will be promptly
followed by an offer of peace from
japan. II IS understood that a strong
effort will be made to have the offer
come through President Roosevelt. II
Is even suggested that the terms
might include an arrangement which
would give Russia an outlet through
the Persian Gulf There is, however,
no indication as to whether an enort
to induce President Roosevelt to
move in the matter would be likely
TO succeed. II certainly is regarded as
unlikely that such a suggestion should
come through the United States I'M
less the president has the strongest
previous -intimation that 1t would be
favorably considered by the Russian
government II may be added that
while il Is known that Emperor Nicho-
las from the beginning regarded the
war with great adherence. there Is
nothing yet to indicate that his gov
eminent intends to recede from the
program OF fighting to a finish, which
has repeatedly been announced.
