JAPAN's FINANCES ARE LOW.
Reasons for Concessions at Peace
Conference.

Toxic, Oct Notwithstanding the
silence of the government, the real
fact is disclosed that Japan made
peace at Portsmouth in fear of a finan-
cial breakdown. The war proved most
costly than had been calculated, and
the rice and cereal crops seemed
doomed to failure. Instead of sun
light and warmth during the month
of August. when the crops ripen, there
was continuous rain and exceedingly
cool weather. While some improve
ment may still be in store, it is GER
tain that the rice crop promises to be
from Is to 20 per cent below the aver
age, and far below last years crop,
when it was marvelously large. Six
months more of war would have meant
very hard times for the masses of the
people are very poor and rice is bread
and meat to them.

Eleven Months Siege.

The long looked for has at last actually
occurred and Port Arthnr has fallen.
On Monday Commander Stoessel sent a
messenger under a flag of truce to Gen
eral Nogi, in command of the japanese
forces at Port Arthur, saying that fur
thur resistance was useless and asking
for conference to arrange for terms of
surrender. His request was gladly
granted and at the conference which
was held on Monday evening terms of
the surrender were agreed upon and the
Japanese army is now in full control at
Port Arthur. By the terms of the sur
render Gen. Stoessel and his officers are
permitted to retain their side arms and
will be returned to Russia under parole

become prisoners of war, surrendering
their arms, and will be taken to Japan
at once. BY the terms Of the surrender
all arms and other munitions of war at
Port Arthur become the property of
Japan.
The fall of Port Arthur ends one of
the most remarkable defenses ever made
by an army, backed as they were by
Notifications which military experts
pronounced the finest on earth, but the
splucky little Japs have crept forward
inch by inch, retaining the ground Sc
cured and wearing out. the garrison of
the fort until the men were exhausted
from long service and short rations.
The fight began on Feb. 8th when Ad-
miral Togo surprised the Russian fleet
at Port Arthur and destroyed several of
the vessels, and from that time it has
been q constant battle, the Japs losing
thousands of soldiers in the desperate
assaults they have made on the forts
At the time of the surrender there were
but 10000 Russians under arms and
$4,000 in the hospitals at Port Arthur.

Japan from reaching their base OF sup

fall Of Port Arthur is a great step to-

her victory has indicated desire Tor

will never consent to end the war until

In the first place this part OF the
country lays nice and gently rolling eS-
cent along the streams where some OF IT
is rough. Most of the land was origin
ally prairie, but, there is some timber
here which is owned by individuals and
hard to get. We can get plenty OF good
posts at cents each. Most OF the peo-
ple burn coal which is onlya few cents
! cheaper than what you pay. The SOIL
: here is not as deep as in Decatur county
but think it is stronger. This has been
GREAT corn country but much OF the
land has been run down by corning ~
too much. Most of the corn went from
