The war of flee admits that even the remnants of the army are still in danger. Field Marshal Oyama holds magnificent strategic position. It is reported that Japanese f1anking columns are ill touch above Tie pass and that there may be Sedan there. No adequate estimate of the losses has been fur nished, b, with the units captured on the left unaccounted for, the killed and wounded already total 65,000.

popular favor Indeed, the indications
now are that the crowd In attendance

There will certainly be no lack Of splen-

and the social feature will be all that
could be desired.
We congratulate the association upon
the bright prospect and we congratulate
tho entire city. The Horse Show Is more
than nm amusement, It's an institution
which encourages stockraislng in Vir-

Kidnapping.

IT was announced III OUR news columns
several days ago that Pat Grove was
arrested at Butte. Montana, after having
successfully lodged the police for sew
cral years. Tho charge against Grove
is that in December. 1900, he kidnapped
Eddie A. Cudahy, Jr., held him for a
considerable length of time and finally
delivered him to his parents upon tho
payment of $4,000 IN money.
We do not know whether or not Grove
is guilty, bit II his guilt DO proven he
should receive the full penalty of the
law. in spite OF any sentimental plea
that may be made In his behalf. 1t
has long been a. conviction with us that
kldnappers should be punished with
death There is no punishment too severe
for such heartless scoundrcls. The man
who will steal child from Its parents
and hold it in bondage for a ransom
is a menace to society and too moan to
live. lie Is murderer at heart and
will commit murder If It be necessary 10
carry out his design. And II lie does not
commit murder he causes anguish In the
hearts OF the parents he robs which Is
worse than death. Every such villain
