Pekin, the Japanese pushed on their
advance north of their natural from
tier at Liao-Yang. In the hands of this
man, the viceroy Of Manchuria, the
Tartar general Of Mukden, the keeper
or the imperial tombs, the guardian of
the sacred palace, lies the key of the
political situation in Manchuria. Fif-
teen million Chinese wait the indica-
ton of his pleasure. The safety of the
long lines of Japanese communicat tions
from Dalny to Liao-Yang, from the
Yalu to the Taitse-Ho, and Of the long
er lines of Russian communica tions
from Mukden to Manchuria, lies at his
disposition. Quiet of manner and gen.
tie of voice, 1t is difficult to realize
that the Tartar general Of Mukden
condemns to death each year in his va
men a thousand Of his subjects. Each
afternoon of correspondents five
months stay in the province Of Muk-

Whatever hopes the Japanese orig
inally had of short war, they are
now preparing for long and exhaust
ing struggle. Count Okuma is free to
tell his countrymen that they must ex-
pect to spend at least $1,OO0,OOOOOO.
The taxes will be piled on the people,
internal Improvements will be stopped,
even popular education is to be cur
tailed. In Russia the same procedure
will take place, causing even greater
distress to the nation. And this is glo.

The Difference.

Uncle Jared and Uncle BENJAMIN
made sorry pair. True, there was
blood on Uncle Benjamins forehead.
and he looked white and faint. But
Uncle Jared, who tried to support him,
walked with very pronounced limp,
displayed only one coat tail where two
should have been, and was rumpled
and bedraggled generally in a way to
suggest participation in a riot.
whats happened to you two?"
asked a townsman.
THAT pesky colt of Benjamin's run

conclusive dignity. "Benjamin's met

Crop statistics for 1904 show that
since 1901 the aggregate value of farm
products Of the United States has been
steadily on the increase. The present
year it reaches the enormous total of
$3,OO0O 900, gain over 1903 Of $137,-
100000, over 1902 of $213,OOO,OOO and
over 1901 Of 1852, 100000. This would
seem to prove beyond any doubt two
important points-first, that the Uni
ted States is the most productive ma
ton In the world; and, second, that the
migration cityward has been stopped.

Those who are clamoring against
race suicide are all right, but too much
credit must not be given to the mere
fact of birth. According to a recent
volume of statistics issued by the Brit
ish Board of Trade the highest birth
rate is in ROumania, 80 in 1000, but
that country has also the highest death
rate, 27.7 in 1000. Not the number of
births but the quality is the important
matter.

A Jewish rabbi, speaking at the Con-
gress Of Arts and Sciences at st. Louis,
said, "When God added man to His
other creations, He made only one, so
that men of future generations might
not say one to another, My ancestors
were better than yours" The rabbi
also said that his religion does not
teach that in the beginning God made
a Jew, nor does Christianity teach that
God created Christian first; he de-
clared that no religion recognizes the
distinctions developed by profane his

One way to deal with railroad
wrecks is to make it 80 expensive for
a railroad to MAIN and kill its patrons
that 1t can not afford not to provide
for their safety. AS long as human
lives are cheaper than soundly con-

be wrecks and the smoking cars and
second-class coaches will always be the

Fire demolished the White lodging
house at the foot of the Main street
hill. on Saturday evening. The fire is
supposed to have been caused by the
explosion of a lamp, and was first
discovered about 10 o'clock in the eve
ping.
An alarm was at once turned in
and finally general summons for
all of the fire companies was given.
Three hose companies nearest to the
conflagaration soon reached the scene,
but there was some little delay in Sc
curing water, and the blaze had been
going for some time before Il stream
was turned on ii. However, hard and
earnest work was done by the firemen
after they got in shape, and it is due
to their efforts that the entire building
was not destroyed. Also, there was
some fear for time that the house
of Mrs. Standfield. on the north side
of the house might also catch fire.
However il did not, and the fire was
kept within the one building, and was
put out before the lower story had
been burned very much. Neverthe-
less, the entire building was demolish-
ed, and will hardly be worth rebuild
ing. Also, practically all of the house
hold goods We're lost.
The building was owned by Messrs,
Clark and Warman. neither of whom
were in town at the time. The build
ing was valued at $500, and there
was $1,000 insurance on the same in
the Pennsylvania Fire Insurance,
company. which. according to J. NJ.
Bentley, the local agent. will about
meet the loss. The house was rented
to c. p. Mallory, who carried n total
of s11O0 insurance on his household
goods, which is regarded as fully suf-
ficient to cover the loss incurred by
him.

evening for the mountains above

the party were Will Keller. Lee Hud-

pany. However, when they reached
the above station there was no stage
there. and owing to the darkness they
were unable to walk to the hotel at
the springs. Consequently they re-
mained out all night without any shell
ter other than what was afforded by
the bunchgrass and rocks. A fire was
made, however. and they passed the
night on a hillside. The next morning
they hunted for grouse for time.
but not meeting with any success took

"The Chapcrons" Made a Hit With a
Large Audience.

In The Chaperons" last night
Pendleton saw the first comic opera
that has CHANGED this way for a long
time, and it did justice to the occa-
sion by turning out in force. Though
it was a Sabbath evening, every seat
was taken, and many were there
whose scruples would not permit of
them attending an ordinary show on
Sunday. And 1t was something worth
seeing, too, though some of the eriti-
cal say that it was not as good as
some other comic operas that have
been played here in the past From
the rise of the curtain to the drop
there was music, mirth, dancing and
ludicrous fun in quick succession,
with scarcely a moment wasted.
