ARMY REORGANIzES'
JAPS HAVE STOPPED THEIR PUR.
SUIT OF KUROPATKIN.
After Their Battle Line Is Formulated
and Men Rested Up an Attack IL Ex-
pected on Russians Position at Tie
Pass--Weather Conditions Aided
Japanese in Battle Before Mukden.

Tie Pass, March 1.-THE Japanese,
it is reported, have ceased their pur-
suit, at least temporarily. Some of
the Japanese are rs miles below Tie
Pass. A resumption of their advance
is expected. Rumors are in circulation
that the japanese are already attempt
ing another turning movement. Inc
troops are being sorted out and or
CARNATIONS reformed and assigned to
places to defend the new positions, but
whether Tie Pass will be held or aban-
doned probably will not be decided for
several days.
1t is still too early to tell the extent
of the Russian defeat, because not all
the parts of the army have been as
sembled, and the losses during the re-
treat are no small portion of the cas-
ualties. Up to the time of the begin
ning of the retreat it is probable the
Japanese losses were heavier than
those of the Russians, and at the time
the Japanese broke through Flu pass
the Russians appeared to be holding
their own and even gaining little.
Preparations were then being made
to launch a counter stroke. The jap
anese success was largely aided by the
weather cor ditions, which enabled
them to approach unObserved, but it
was chiefly due to the failure of some
of the organizations of the left fam. in
the retirement from the Shakhe river
to occupy the positions marked out for
them. The Japanese quickly discover
ed the intervals, scouting columns hav-
ing followed the retreat closely.

The Texas legislature has passed a
bill levying ~ per cent tax on the
gross earnings of all the railroads OPP
Grating in the state. The legislature
is also dealing with a stringent anti
pass bill, against which numerous pro-
tests have been filed. Common car

to arrest disorderly passengers. A
subcommittee has been intrusted with
a bill requiring railroads to maintain
switch lights between sunset and sun

Fell Five Stories and Lives.

Charley Ruff, an II year old, went to
sleep in his little trundle bed on the
fifth floor of tenement house in New
York and at midnight woke up to find
himself at the bottom of an air shaft
suffering from bruises and cuts. The
youngster, who is somnambulist, had,
got up from his bed in his sleep, walk
ed to and through low silled window
and had fallen five stories. Not one
bone was broken. -

to Victory.
General Baron Kuroki, who, by his
passage of the Yalu and subsequent
successes at Kiulienling and other
places, has proved himself to be gen.
eral of no mean capacity, is about 60
years of age. He is Kagoshima Sam
urai, and his GOODNESS and courage are
worthy the chivalrous race from which
he comes.
General Nodzu belongs to the finest
type of Japanese and by many of his
countrymen he is regarded as their
greatest soldier. In spite of his 81
years he is keen sportsman. He is
a great favorite in the army, and has
a reputation for pluck and dash.
General Baron Oku. the commander
of the Second Japanese army, is Sam
urai of the Oita clan. He is 81 years
of age.

He was disagreeably disappointed,
and the officers then charged the house
and battered down the door. Not
sound came from inside, and, enter
ing, they found Schistler lying upon
a bed bleeding from several wounds
and breathing his last. He died soon
afterward. It is not known whether
he was hit by bullets from the weap-
ons of the pursuing party or commit
ted suicide. Mrs. Schistler was away
from home when her husband started
on his vengeful mission, and when told
of the affair fell PROSTATE. 1t is

Of couse the present Admins
tration is not responsible for cot
ton dropping IN price from IA to
less than Z cents. No one would
believe that the Presidents mes
sage to Congress knocked the
stuffing out of stocks and bonds,
certainly not, but the down fall
of cotton, the shrinkage in the
value of stocks and bonds, and
the tremendous decline in the
price of live stock is a faded
flower in the lapel of prosperity,
unaccountable and unsolicited.
Had such occurred under Demo-
cratic reign it would have been a
different proposition, of course.
The present administration is a
boomer.

They have had many bloody bat
ties and in our judgement the
end of the Struggle is not yet in
sight. Japan, at an unexpected
hour, in the midst of negotiations,
turned loose her cannons. Rus
STA, unprepared, has met the most
aggressive foe, in modern times,
and while the majority of the
victories are not hers, yet, the
war is not over. Port Arthur
has fallen, but Port Arthur may
fall again. We have but little
interest in either of the contend
ing parties, but firmly believe
that Russia, in the end, will pluck
every laurel lost on the, blood
stained fields of battle. The in
ternal affairs of Russia are not to
the liking of any who believe in
just government, and yet Japan
has not reached the point Of per-
lection. The question is not of
righteous government, but the
control of Manchuria Publica-
tons in this country are almost
solidly in sympathy with Japan
and denounce Russia in the bit
terest terms, yet, but a few
months have elapsed since they
eulogiZed Old England who stood
over the murdered and bleeding
forms of two small Republics.
They did not demand that our
government interfere while that
robbery and assassination pro-
ceeded.

A dispatch from St. Petersburg
says: Few incidents of the whole
war have aroused more bitter
criticism than the blunt announce
ment, officially issued by the Gen.
eral Staff that Gen. Stoessel will
have to come home and stand
court-martial for surrendering
the fortress of Port Arthur.
While this is an ancient regula-
ton and quite according to law,
it is bitterly resented on all sides
that such an announcement
should have been gratuitiously
made in the same bulletin con-
tanning Gen. Stoessel's appeal to
the Emperor for "lenient judg-
ment on the garrison reduced to
shadows, who have done all
that was possible for human be-
ings to uphold the honor of Rus
STA in the face of her enemies. :"
The Novoe Vremya, despite the
example made by the suspension
of the Russ, says: by all
means, let us have a court-mar-
tial and make it, if possible, Sc
we're. The cruel judge will, per-
haps, deal leniently with those
who have given their blood and
lives for their country. Perhaps,
also, the court will determine
why fortress known to be
threatened with blockade is not
supplied with necessary food and
munitions to enable it to hold out.
Perhaps such a court will bring
to light many dark, hidden things
and expose the creeping under
groud enemies of Russia, who
are infinitely more dangerous to
the nation than the foe who fights
in the open."

WED. JAN. II, 1905.

The time is approaching when
each political party must deter
mine who shall make the race
for the various county offices,
and in justice to our organization
and looking to the public good
the common interest of alive
trust that none but competent
men, in every particular, will be
selected. It is of the utmost i'm
portance to look we'll to the quail
ifications of applicants and their
adaptability to the positions they
seek and select only those who
measure up to the highest de-
mands. Such a course would re-
dound to the good of our party
and the welfare of the county
and tend to raise the standard of
official position. The day has
come when political pulls and
and partisan bias should fall be-
fore true merit of qualification.
A misfit in Office is public bur-
den and cannot aid party or adj
vance a common interest and in a
community like ours there is not
a reason to justify either party in
selecting incompetents. We have
no censure for those who have
convictions and fight to the bitter
end. Party pride is commenda-
BILE, but adaptability and undis-
puted qualifications are essential
to the accomplishment Of the
best results. We are not in posi-
ton to speak to the Republican
organization as to whom it shall
select, neither do we seek to die
tate to our own party, but as a
Democrat and a. citizen of this
county, we insist that our party
exercise due caution in making
its ticket. Merit will win in the
home-stretch, and while political
bias is loosing it's fearful grip,
while the best element of both
parties is fast reaching that de-
gree of independence that seeks
merit and since we are in the mi
nority the selection of our candi-
dates will have much to do with
our chances for success.
