Statistics show that every sheep.

Argentine has smaller number ii
sheep than at any other period during
the past decade. In America the de.
crease has been several millions,
Numerous explanations are offered.
One is that sheep hlsbandry, accord.
ing to history, declines in proportion
to the development OF agricultural
countries, Illustrating the old saw that
"the sheep follows the pillow" It is a
fact that in the United States the chief
falling of in the number of focks has
been in the east, where pastures have
healed the scars Of the pillow. In the
west, however, the sheep industry has
increased, especially In recent years
Hundreds Of cattle have engaged in It
The west, therefore, seems destined to
remain the most important sheep

THE CHANCE FOR ERROR.

Provided that the story sent ont
from North Dakota and printed in yes
terdays papers, regarding the confess
sion Of murderer that an innocent
man was hanged for his crime, i true,
there Is furnished to us d terrible object
lesson. The story lacks the stamp Of
certainty TO make it most powerful
wedge against capital punishment, but
it bears the indications Of being true
A man weighed down BY remorse for
crime committed thirty years before
breaks down and decides to end mis-
cradle existence. He writes letter
confessing that be murdered young
woman ii Ohio, crime for which d
tramp was hanged IN the Youngstown,
Ohio, jail. The tramp, By fortuitous
circumstance, was ii the neighborhood
Of the place where the murder was
committed. CircumstantiaI evidence
pointed toward him as the probable
murderer. He was arrested on the
strength OF the circumstance, and he
was convicted on circumstantial eyi-
dence. He was hanged on no better
pretext than the evidence which points
toward man al the probable murderer,
a man innocent Of the crime paid the
penalty for anotheris crime. The real
murderer went scot free. Finally the
pangs Of remorse became 50 compelling
that he was forced To make confession,
providing Immediately, however, that be
should place himself beyond the pale
Of tile law.
The story, 81 course, lacks substan.
tiation, II lacks proof that the alleged
confession was not the product Of d
disordered brain, that it was not the
act Of sensation-monger But tile
murder was committed, and the tramp
was hanged for the murder So much
is known to Be true. Whether d not
there il foundation for the remainder
Of the story il left to judge for him
self But the indications are that the
tardily made confession is not hoax

OF Which the Late William Clark Was

Editor Times: The announcement in

OF William Clark awakens reminis-

RUSSO-JAPANESE WAR.

The delivery Of Russian prisoners at
Port Arthur has been completed The
total of the prisoners we're S7S officers
and %, 491 men, whereof AL officers and
229 orderlies gave parole.
Lieut.. Gems. Fock and Smirnoff have
decided to go to Japan as prisoners Of
war. Gen. Smirnoff was in command Of
the forts at Port Arthur and Cen Fock
commanded the fourth division Of the
army there.
Japan has made no overtures for peace
to Russia, directly or indirectly, through
the United States or any other power
and contemplates no such action, and
now that Port Arthur has fallen pro-
poses to press the war in the north all
the more vigorously.
A large detachment from Nogi's army
Oyama at Liaoyang:
Reports reach Toxic that the Russian
generals at Mukden are losing confidence
in kurOpatkin. and the soldiers are be-
coming disheartened at their defeats.
Russians from Port Arthur declare
that Kondratenko and not Stoessel was
the hero of the defense of the citadel.
and that the surrender followed his
death
Statements of the Russian admiral,
Doubassoff, in Paris that peace in the
far east is near are regarded as being
very significant owing to the fact that
he has had an audience with the car
within the last few days.
A second war on great scale be-
tween Russia and Japan is predicted
II peace is made at present.
