cred by Prof. A. H. Cole, local as

Gen. Kuropa,kIn Has Not Resigned.

ST. Petersburg (By Cable).-Not the
slightest information has been received
at the War Office regarding the alleged
illness or resignation of General Ku-
ropatkin. On the contrary, the War
Offices information indicates no change
whatever in the headquarters staff in
Manchuria, and that. the departure of
General Gripenberg for St. Petersburg
is due to illness. The version of the
departure of General Gripenberg now
given in the best-nformed unofficial
circles is that the General left the front
because he exceeded General Kuropat-
kin's orders in pushing beyond Sande-
pas and needlessly sacrificing thousands
of men. This led Kuropatkin to demand
Gripenberg's recall.
Telegraphing under date of Fcbru-
airy General Kuropatkin reports as
follows:
THE Japanese assumed the offensive
along the line to Chuanchuantse today.
Several of their batteries advanced, but
the Russian artillery repulsed them"

Nj. Rogers, who was to have been hang
ed here Friday for the murder Of her
husband, but was reprieved by Govern

Peck and again declared that Governor
Bell was a good man. She die not seem
unduly affected.
"She is a fine looking woman; it
would have broken my heart to hang
her" was the first thing Sheriff Peck,
the interchangeable defender OF woman
hood, said after reading the official re-
prieve to Mary Rogers i'll her death cell.
1t was the first time he had ever seen
her.
Sheriff Peck is widower, and has
already received several offers of mar
riage. If what his friends say is true,
he received letter from rich YER
mont widow offering him her heart and
hand and home
When he received the reprieve from
Governor Bell over tire telephone the
Sheriff jumped up and down like boy.
He hurried to the prison and told the
news to Mrs. Rogers in her cell. After
he had told her the good news he re-
turned TO his room at the Windsor
Hotel and had Deputy Love bring out
the rope and the black shroud- He held
them up before him and smiled cynical

You are cheated out OF 4 hideous
crime. A hangman's moose and a glib

Mrs OakeS. the superintendents wife,
was so overjoyed that she was able to
get ont OF a sick bed and entertain
some of her neighbors for lunch. The
matron. Miss Nurky. was made happy
and, with Warden Harpn. she visited
the cell of the repricecd woman and
shook her hand.

WAS NOT A PEAcE-MOyE FARLEY.
Count Cassini Told There Was No Politics
10 the Conference of the President With
British Ambassador Japanese Trying to
Roll Up RUSSIAN Right Wing Northwest
Of Sandepas.

Lieutenant General Gripenberg; who
was relieved of his command OF the
second Manchurian army because OF
friction with General Kuropatkin, has
started on his return TO St. Petersburg.
1t now appears that Kuropatkin had
Gripenberg recalled because he exceeded
orders in pushing beyond Sandepas and
needlessly sacrificing thousands of men.
The Russian War Office denies that
Kuropatkin has resigned.
General kuropatkin reports that the
Japanese assumed the offensive along
the line to Chuanchuantse, and several
of their batteries advanced.
The Japanese are terrifying their east
flank and center, and are attempting to
roll up the Russian right wing north
west of Sandepas.
Conferences of President Roosevelt
and Secretary Hay with Sir Mortimer
Durand, the British ambassador, and
Mr.. Takahira, the Japanese minister, at
different times Sunday night and Mon
day caused circulation of reports in
Washington that peace proposals were
being discussed and that the United
States would take the initiative in such
movement The rumors. however,
were positively denied, and Count Cas-
SIM was assured at the State Depart
ment that the conferences were without
political significance.
General Heisman, war critic, ex-
DresSeS the oniniou that the Russians
are not likely to surrender the positions
captured north of Sandepas, and that
a series of encounters there will prob
ably continue until the weather is ia
vorable for general advance.

Every married man who does not
support this bill in Congress lays him
self open to suspicion" This was the
statement of Representative Adams
Pennsylvania before the House Com
mittee on the District of Columbia, in
advocacy OF his bill establishing whip
ping post in the District Jail for wife
heaters. Mr.. Adams said that three
years ago, when this subject was first
brought to his attention, he was inclined
to treat it with levity. Since then he
has made the matter subject of care
full and conscientious study, and is thor
oughly i'll earnest. He did not give sta
tistics regarding wife-beating, but as
serted that jail sentence made no i'm

In view of the lack of pubic informa-
ton as to the status of the work OF

so far by the Americans since they took
up the task, the American Minister to
Panama has. after consultation with
Chief Engineer Wallace and personal
inspection of the route of, the proposed

important statement in the report is this !:

Monday Evening,

them have been disastrous Last summer pro-
duced remarkable growth OF grass, and IN most
cases this was on the ground when the light
snow disappeared this spring. ,The dry WINDS
that have prevailed put this grass In nrst-class
condition to catch sparks and thousands OF
acres have been swept over by names. Many
small buildings have been destroyed, numerous
cattle and horses have been burned and few
human lives lost
The fields In the west would be better for rain,
even tho seeding should be retarded few days
Thus far the conditions all right, but with
continued dry weather some seed will inevitably
be blown out by the spring winds. In the valley
the conditions are excellent The soil Is dry
enough to work and yet 1t contains plenty Of
moisture to insure termination. In the southern
counties and generally turnout the state on high
lands wheat is already appearing above the
ground. With fair seeding weather from now on
most of the wheat will be sown this month,
which is remarkably early.
AS to the Acreage. /
As has been the case several years new settlers
are preparing to SOW fax freely The crop Is the
only one from which returns can be secured the
first year on new land hence 1t is particularly
attractive to the newcomer Tho fax craze APP
pears to be over, however, and little OF this
grain will be sown on old land The acreage
Of wheat will undoubtedly be increased over last
year, the early season tending toward this re-
suit. Coarse grains will be increased, probably
about in proportion to the increase of popula ton
Corn is doubtful quantity.
