LAPS CARRY NO DEADwEIeHr.
Soldiers Relieved of Every Unnecessa-
 ry Ounce Of Burden.

Washington, July 2y--The general staff of the army is now receiving numerous reports hereto delayed by Japanese orders, from American off cers who accompanied the Japanese in their Manchurian campaigns. The chief facts discovered are that Jap anese troops carry less than half the weight carried by American soldiers. The Japanese carries a canteen and cup made of aluminium. His haver- sack is light and his gun weighs less than the American arm. Each soldier carries a pick and shovel for entrench- ing. At LiaO Yang and Mukden the Japanese army entrenched itself at every advance. This accounts for the low mortality.
 The Japanese did no blind firing. Range finders always located the exact position of the Russians before fir ing began. The Japanese never nov

A PAGAN SURVIVAL.

There is little doubt that the GUS tom of lighting fires on Midsummer Eve is of eastern origin. Those who watch the Irish peasants driving their cattle between two blazing piles, or see the young men leaping over the glowing embers, as the bonfire sinks lower and the brief darkness gives it's place to the rose flush of dawn, can hardly fail to be reminded of that passing through the fire to Moloch,' so strictly fobidden to the Hebrews. Whole families pass solemnIy between two fires, or spring backward or for ward over the flames.
 True, the simple country folk inn agine they are performing these mys- tic rites in honor of St. John the Bap- tist, for early missionaries, finding It impossible to prevent their converts keeping the Pagan festivals, transfer red them to the saints. and midsum- mer was assigned to St. JOhn-"the light to tighten the Gentiles'-instead of to Baidur or Baal. and the bOnfires were called "Teine bhell Zion" Johns fires).
 Some say that the fires were trans ferred from May Day or "Beltane"- another important festival held by the Irish, Scotch and British Celts in hon. or or Baal, or BeluS-tO midsummer; others, with more probability. assert that the two festivals were quite dis tinct. However this may be, May Day is still called "Bealtaine" or "Beltane" in both Ireland and Scotland.
 Sometimes a bone is lad in the heart of the blaze-dOubtless it repre- sents the original human sacrifice; in fact, some derive the word bonfire from this practice; others say it is not bone, but boon, bene, or the French bon, be- cause great virtues were accredited to the midsummer fires. In the west of England, where they fingered until re- gently, they were known as blessing fires" and in almost every part of Europe they were supposed to bring good luck, an abundant harvest and freedom from disease to both man and beast-an idea which is not vet eX- zine.

There is a good list uc er- tries now but there ought to be more and Secretary Tiffany urges the horse ! owners to give the matter attention and not let it go by default.
 | The fair management is getting real
 busy now and construction work pre- | limnaries have reached the point
 where it may be said they are really
 doing things. For the last ten days force of eight or ten men has been busy grubbing out the old stumps and cleaning up thA grounds. That part of the work is now finished.

 out both the mile and the half mile roughly irrigated and the graders will
 begin work on the tracks next Tues day.

 and to contain sixteen box stalls twelve feet square. The cement con-
 tractor is now putting in the cement
 piers for these barns and will finish
 his work in a couple of days. The
 lumber for these stables is expected
 to arrive tomorrow and the contractor
 will begin construction of the build
 ings just as soon as the piers are suf-
 ficiently dry. which will be sometime in the middle of the week
 The board has also let a contract
 to the Pratt Gilbert Go. for the driv- ing cf a six inch well from sixty to one hundred feet deep as may be de- sired, and for the erection of a thirty two foot tower and tank on top of it with a capacity of 5000 gallons. This contract also includes a five horse power gasoline engine and pump cap able of throwing from 1500 to 2,OOO gallons per hour. The drilling of this we'll will begin early Monday morning and water will be provided ust as soon as possible for use on the grounds
 Lumber for the fences will be or dered in few days. I. T. Stoddard is expected here on Tuesday, coming expressly for the purpose of taking up the matter of the plans for the grand stand and just as soon as pos sible this will be settled and the work of construction begun.
 The board has also requested the s. F. P. & P. railroad company to lay side track at Six Points and con- struct a platform for the unloading of freight and a chute and stockyard for the unloading of stock. The company has signified its willingness to do so and it is understood will begin this work the present week. In few days mere the vicinity of the fair grounds will be a lively place and it will not ! be long until the passing traveller will 1 know what is going on there without l looking for a sign board.

Permits to Ship Goods to the Far East
 Sold to Merchants.

St. Petersburg, July 25.-A scandal in connection with the sale to mer- chants of permits to ship goods to the far east has just been unearthed and the war office has ordered an inquiry.

 It now develops that 10000 of these permits in blank form have been is sued surreptitiOusly and have been sold by banks ana other financial in- stitutions to any merchant who would pay the high price demanded fer them.

FOR THIRTY YEARS
Congressman TIeekison Suffered With CatarrF1--
 His Endorsement of Pe=ru=na

"A TONIC is a medicine that gives 4 "A tone to some part of the system. There are different kinds of tonIcs. Lut the tonic most needed iu thls country. where catarrh is So prevalent, IS a tonle that operates on the mucous membrane.
 Peruna is a tonic to the mucous mem branes of the whole body. Itgives tous to the capillary circulation which con stitutes these delicate membranes.
 Peruna is a specific in it's operation upon the mucous membrane. It is "a tonic that strikes at the root of aII ca- tarrha4 affections. IL gives tone to ths minute blood vessels and the terminal nerve flores. Catarrh cannot exist lon- wh~re Peruna is used inteIIicentlV. Peruna seeks out catarrh in all the hid den parts of the body.
 A. NJ. lkerd, an empIoye of ths c. R. & c. K. R., West Burlington, la. write.
 II had catarrh of tho stomach aud small intestines for q number of years. l went to a number or doctors and got no relief. Finally one of my doctors sent me to Chicago and met the same fate. They said they could do nothIns for me, that I had cancer Of the stomach and there was no cure. ] almost thought the same, for my breath was something awful. l could hardly stand tt, it waa so offensive. l could not eat aHythinE without great misery, and I gradually grew worse.
 "Finally got one of your books. and concluded would try Peruna. and thank God, found relief and cure for that dreadful disease. I took five bottles of Peruria and two o: AIanalin. and now feel like new man. There Is nothing better than Peruna, and keep a boale in my house all the time."-A. M. lkefd.
 Catarrh of the stomach is usually called dyspepsia. Catarrhal dyspensLa cannot be cured by Pepsin powders or any other temporary relief. The only cure for real dyspepsia is . removal of the catarrh from the mucous membrane of the stomach. This Peruna win do. This Peruna has done thousands au1 thousands of times.
 Congressman Botkin, of Eansas. was cured of catarrh of the stomach uf many years' standing. Hundreds of other cSses have been reported to us through unsolicited testimonials. Peruna is ths only internal systemic remedy for ca- taTrh yet devised. Every one afflicted with catarrh in the slightest degree ought to take a course of Peruna.
 If you do not derive prompt and zatis- factory results from the use Of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he Nill be pleased to give you his valuable ad- vice gratis.

The Marconigraph is a great thing. W. F. Deity the mining engineer and general manager of the Proveedora mine, in the out of the way Altar dis trict is there and has been there for some time. Not long ago his son Dwight sailed for Europe in the com pany of Henry Deity, brother of Mr. Deity. When about half way between Europe and America the young man got to thinking that perhaps his father would like to know how he was flour ishing and so he sent him a message It was received at MT.

 This is a copy of it as it reached the obscure station in northern Sonora: "W. E. Deity" CThe telegraph address) Longitude 6447, latitude 4O1O. mid ocean.
 "Getting along fine.
 DWIGHT DEITY,
 "S. s. New York via s. s. Philadelphia, etc, Marconi station, Sagaponack, N. Y, July 15." The receipt of this message made MT. Deity believe that the world was not so big after all when a message could be sent half way across the ocean and clear across the continent in one day.
 A letter from him yesterday stated that the mine is looking well and that all the workings are in ore.

 "P. S. Address answer to your pre- ference"
 The matrimonial editor with sorrow notes a tone of levity in the foregoing. This may be regarded as a joke by the young ladies of Iron Springs but with the lonely miner it is deadly earnest. He is deviIing the life out of the matri- monial editor who is anxious to get the matter off his mind as soon as possible. It may be that the Iron Springs four are in earnest also but there are too many of them in a bunch. Coming at the miner in this voluminous fashion he is apt to become confused and tumble. He is not an expert jug gler when it comes to handling mar riageable young ladies. The editor suggests that candidates approach him in single file and not in single pha- lanx or battle formation.

QUARrErTE OF CANDI DATES
Iron Springs Reaches Out After a
 Matrimonial Prize.

few days ago The Republican an- nounced that a we'll known mining man resident of this city and with a pros- porous future wanted a wife. He gave rough description of of the kind of a wife he desired, one of the main points being a willingness to industriously as- sist him in the accumulation of the fortune which was almost within his grasp. Another point on which he in sisted was that she should be free from the expensive coast habit" and should not acquire it until the fortune should be safely gathered in; after that she could give her life up to ease and en- joyment. It was suggested that wom- en interested in this proposition should communicate with the matrimonial edi- tor of this paper.
