THE BATTLE OF THE YALu.
One CT the Queer Incidents OF This
Great Naval Conflict.

One CT the Queer Incidents of This
Great Naval Conflict.
This strange incident Of great ma
val battle was told by Commissioner
McGif1in of one of the Chinese war
ships in the battle Of the Yalu between
the Chinese and Japanese fleets in
1894: About this time the Chih Yuen
boldly if somewhat foolhardily bore
down OIL the Japanese squadron's line.
Just what happened no one seems to
know, but apparently she was struck
below the water line by heavy shell,
either a ten inch or thirteen inch.
Be that as it may, she took a heavy
list, and. thus fatally injured, her COM
mander, Tang Shi Chen, q most cour-
ageous albeit a most obstinate officer,
resolved at least to ayenge himself and
charged one Of the largest OF the en-
amy's ships, intending to ram.
"a hurricane Of projectiles from both
heavy and machine guns swept down
upon his ship. The list became more
pronounced, and just before getting
home to his intended victim his ship
rolled over and then plunged bow first
into the depths She righted herself as
SHE sank. her screws whirling in the
Dir and carrying down all hands, In
Guiding her chief engineer, Mr.. Purvis,
shut up in the engine room. Seven Of
her crew chung to one of the circular
life buoys kept OH the bridge and were
drifted by the tide toward the coast,
where they were rescued by junk.
''Stories told by these men vary 80
much as to be unreliable, but all agree
OH one incident: Captain Tang had q
large dog OF most vicious temper, I'M
ruly at times even with his master.
After the ship sank Captain Tang,
who could not swim, managed to get
an oar or some small piece of wood.
This would have been enough to sup
port him had not his dog swum to him
and, climbing up on him, forced him
to release his grasp. Thus he miser.

Noting that William Hughes of
Council Bluffs was sentenced to the
penitentiary for five years for stealing
$219, the Carroll Herald says: IF the
fellow had stolen $4,000 and done it
in q more gentlemanly manner he
might have been sentenced to the peni-
Tertiary for about one-fifth of that
time. And who knows but he may
have got off scot free?"

cows AND CASH.

III an interview with the editor of the
Mapleton Press some very interesting
and important statements were made
by collector for the Harvester trust.
He says that where he has been work
ing In iowa selling harvesters 1t is
his custom to learn whether the pros
pective buyer depends upon grain and
hogs alone for his income, or milks
COWS. When this has been ascertain
ed he knows how much cash in hand
he will get or how much credit he will
be forced to extend, as the farmers who
keep cows have been turning in Is
per cent cash and % per cent in notes,
while farmers who are devoting them
Aelves to grain, and who haven't time
to milk cow are turning in 25 per
cent cash and IS per cent in notes.
The harvester collector is simply ac-
cusing the Iowa farmer of a neglect
1ulness that comes close to being
tshiftless." He is saying over what
everyone knows when he puts the COW
and the cash together. Hard times
affect the dairy sections least of ALL
Crop failures do not bring general dis
aster to the dairy farm, as they invar-
fably do to the corn and hog
farmer. E,ack in the nineties, when the
corn raise.rs of the state were unable
10 meet old bills, or make new ones, the
harvester collectors and other collec-
tors were getting their money in De-
aatur, Rillggold and other blue grass
and cow counties, and the people were
living IL they were not making money
The. vacant stores in the northern and
northwestern Iowa towns in the Sec
lions where the corn crop is the main
dependence and where rain has drown
ed out the, corn for the past three
seasons, may be charged against the
policy that plows corn and refuses to
milk cows. The setni-monthly cream
cry check is an insurance against emp
~ store rooms. Corn, cows and hogs
are the three graces Of Iowa prosperity.
ANY combination that neglects the COW
needs revision. She brings home the
groceries, pays the hired man, kills the
book account and nurses the bank ac-
count while the corn ripens and the
pigs grow into porkers. Four good
COWS will pay the hired mans wages.
The COW is in class by herself. She
lis the beneficiary Of special legisla-
ton. The steer must stand aside for
her while butterine goes begging and
the price Of butter scars. If oats were
protected by tax on competitive
grains of 10 cents bushel, the farm
ers would pillow up their cornfields to
SOW oats It is strange that the pro-
lection given butter fat does not prove
equally attractive.
Most farmers are after the nancy,
and there is money in cows. Not only
money, Tut highly fertilized farms.
Cows and grass are the pioneers of
s'eood corn ground" The ordinary far
atler who fails to keep from fifteen to
fifty COWS, according to the size OF his
farm, is losing more money than he
makes. The coward is the farmers

BUSINESS At LEADING POINTS.

Chicago--Strilss troubles alone oper-
ate to retard local business. Condi-
tions otherwise are satisfactory, deal
ings In general merchandise showing
heavier volume and manufacturing
expanding. Building construction goes
forward steadily, though some difficult
ial. Lumber, brick and stone are in
heavy demand, with an upward ten
dency in values. Pig iron continues in
strong request. Mercantile collections
make a generally satisfactory show
ing. Money for interior points is in
good request. Railroad traffic contin-
ues large. Receipts of lumber are &c.
$4,000 feet, against 46,079,000 feet last
week and 32,929,000 feet a year ago.
Grain markets are active and early in
the week prices were somewhat lower
on favorable weather reports. Provi.
sions are also active and shipments
continue to improve. IN leather work.
ing trades activity Is noted and coun-
try orders are coming In beyond ex-
pectations.
Pittsburg.-The demand for window
glass is fair. The advent Of warm
weather has brought about the closing
of the ma jority of the plants and it is
estimated that there are not more than
800 pots in operation, exclusive of the
machine factories. Prices are UNI
steady. Imports of window glass for
ten months ending April, 1905, were
253, 124 boxes, as compared with 1922
697 boxes during the same period of
1904.
New Haven.-Trade conditions have
been quite satisfactory. Hardware
manufacturers report that business
was rather better than the average for
the spring season, but as the distrib-
uting trade appears now to be we'll
stocked, orders at the moment are
lighter There has been a good de-
niand for builders hardware, although
fear of interruption In labor matters
in some sections Of the country has
prompted caution In the orders Of
some dealers The carriage trade has
been affected by the demand for auto
mobiles, although orders for high
grade goods have been quite satisfac-
tory, and compare favorably with q
year ago.
Philadelphia.-Carp manufacturers
are getting out samples for the coming
season and the outlook is encouraging.
Manufacturers Of knitted goods, hos
iery, etc, are doing a satisfactory bus
mess. Several good sized operations in
the building line are about to be begun.
Brick manufacturers are having an
increased business, with fair prices,

ployed, with prices and collections fair.
The electrical lines are actively en-
gagged.

priced leather stock. All factories are

Alden IlnfeS.1
T. M. Fisher, of Alden, carries some
mementoes of the first hard work that
he did on farm in Illinois almost hal1
a. century ago. In the year 1858 he
hired out to farmer in Illinois for
SIS a month and worked for him elght
months, not drawing any money un-
til the end of the season when his
employer went to the bank and drew
OFT his summer wages and paid it to
the Young farm hand But this was
in the days of the so-called wildcat
money AMI the very next day when
Mr.. Fisher went to the same bank to
deposit 1t he learned that just one
half of the old paper money was
worthless. He kept the old bills how
ever and has them as keepsakes and
has them to remember his first hard
summers work in what was then the

Chief of Police Robert T. Hllard Of

been asked by Pennsylvania authorities
TO arrest and hold as a fugitive from
justice Max Miller.
The only Max Miller known To the po-
lice there is a man who came repre-
senting himself as a member OF the firm
OF Henry F. Miller & Sons Plano com
pany OF Boston. He leased a store on
Main street, preparatory, he said, TO
opening branch house. .-
When the police attempted 10 locate
him they failed. and. communicating with
the Boston house. were told that no such
man as Max Miller" was ever connected
with the Henry #. Miller Piano COM
pany.
The police state that their investiga-
tion shows that Miller visited a local
bank and deposited a check for 5000
drawn on a Pennsylvania bank Com
muncatng with the Pennsylvania bank
the local bankers were told that the
former institution had no such account.
