SUNDAY MARKETS IN ENGLAND.
Once Common, Now Abolished az a
Nuisance,


According to the Domesday Book, a
Sunday market was held at st. Ger
mans, Cornwall, even before the con-
quest, though it was soon rendered OF
little value, owing to the establishing
of another on an adjacent piece OF
ground by the conquerOr's half-broth-
err.
From the conquest right on to the
time of Henry VII, and in a few cases
longer, these Sunday markets were
common. Records of them are found
at Bradford. Worcester, Battle'
Launceton and parts Of Durham, Ian
cashire and Lincolnshire.
Launceton, In 1905, gave King John
five marks for a license to chahge
the day to Thursday; Battle did pref
ty much the same thing. Despite On
act of parliament in 1449 abollsnins
them, some 6isregarded the act, ana
continued Sunday fairs until 1900.
In Wigton, Cumberland. the putch'

Latest advices confirm the magnl'
tude of the disaster suffered by the
Russian fleet, and point to the fact
that Russia's hopes, SO far as this
war is concerned, only lie in whatever
may be accomplished by the army IN
Manchuria. An official report recelv-
ed from Toxic by the Japanese lega-
ton at Washington Monday evening
SAYS that the Russian losses definite
ly known include two battleships, a
coast defense ship, five cruisers, two
special ships and three destroyerS
sunk, and two battlehips. two coast
defense ships, one detroyer and one
special service ship captured. while
over 5000 prisoners have been taken,
including Rear Admiral Nebogatofi.
The japanese, it would seem, are still
pursuing the Russians, and it may be
some time before the final result Is
known.
There is nothing to indicate clearly
the extent of the japanese losses, and
it is suggested from one source tina;
the Toxic government is waiting tc
hear from Admiral RojestVensky By
way of Vladivostok before announcing
to what extent its fleet has suffered
The news of the disaster has caused
deep depression in official Russia
though it is not yet generally knowr

The church mas prospered and its
membership rolls are gradually increas-

member who drops from the ranks or
removes to other cities. Under the
leadership of Rev. o. w. Lawrence, the
pastor. the church has in the last year
increased its membership over $50. and
the financial condition of the church is
remarkably good. The pastor, though
a young man. is a very able minister.
and is making himself one of the fore
most religious workers in the city. Rev.
Lawrence is Il native of Illinois. having
been born in Adams county. He grad
ua;ed from the Payson high school. and
entered the Drake university of Iowa.
FROM which institution he graduated
IN 1898. In Drake university he com
pleted both the classical and the theo-
logical courses. He was ordained in
the same year that he graduated; and
shortly after accepted a call To the pas
tOratc of the church at Marysville. Mo.
He continued his work there for five
years. coming to- this city from that
charge. Though this is but his second
