FINDING OF BODY rlAY
DISCLOSE A MURDER

From present indications, the find
ing of the mangled body of an un-
known man near Lewistown, on the
Pennsylvania Railroad tracks, Monday
morning, will result in a murder sen
sation.
The man had apparently been run
down by "a passenger train, and had
been dragged mile.
Along the tracks in the ditch. 200
yards from where the body had been
first struck, was found pool of blood
and blood soaked handkerchief, club
with blood marks on it, and evidence
in the cinders of a scuffle. Although
the trail could not be traced, it Is
thought the man was murdered and
thrown in front of an east bound pass
eDger train to hide the evidence of the
crime.
J. O. HarshbargeT, a track walker,
identified the remains as being those
of man to whom he was talking at
midnight at Horningford Station. He
says the stranger was in company with
another man and that both were slight
ly under the influence of liquor, and
spoke of being en- route to some nuG--
Der on Fifth street, Reading, Pa.
The dead man was of medium build
and height, smooth of face, with black
hair and eyes, and was dressed in a
blue serge suit, percale shirt and pat
ent leather shoes. Everything on his
person was neat and clean, and he had
the appearance of being a man of good
circumstances. Although the lid of
jewelry box was found in his pocket,
and an Eagle button was on his coat,
the box and its contents were missing
and his official receipt, without which
no Eagle travels, was also missing

APPLE CROP
A FAILURE

Many of tho farmers throughout
MOntour County have completed dig
ging their potatoes and their reports
as to the yield wonld indicate that the
crop will be something less than full
one. The potatoes yielded by a single
hill are fewer in number than for some
years past neither are they large in
size. This bears out the prediction
made a month or so ago when the
vines showed signs of dying prema-
turely and blight was affecting the
fields.
All the other crops of the farm,
however with the single exception OF
apples, promise a luxuriant yield and
the season on the whole promises to be
one in which the farmer will do we'll.
The apple crop according to all ac-
counts will be a miserable failure. A
well known farmer yesterday stated
that so tar as he had observed through
ont MOntour county the apples will be
much less than half a crop-probably
/ less than a quarter of yield.

BELIEVE CASH IS
FACTOR IN TREATY

PORTSMOUTH, n. IL. Aug. 30
There is a growing suspicion that Rus
sia has agreed to pay to Japan a sum
of money in lieu of a cash indemnity.
Upon what it is based or how large
the amount cannot of course be learn-
ed
There was very significant feature
of yesterdays conference Of the en-
voys that has almost been lost sight
OF. 1t was the dismissal OF the secre-
taries during certain deliberations ov-
er some of the japanese demands which
had been left open from a previous
meeting.
Why this secrecy should have been
maintained if it was clear case 0
the delivery of an ultimatum and its
acceptance is a mystery incapable of
solution at this time. 1t is understood
that the ENJOYS deliberated in the
strictest privacy for over an hour.
Another suspicious feature is the
smoothness with which the negotla-
tions were conducted on a question
which has been the stumbling block
since the first meeting, namely that of
indemnify. From the most accurate
reports it appears that NJ. Witte laid
cepted promptly by the Japanese en-
vOys.
This may have been due to the fact
that the Japanese had become thor
oughly convinced that further parley
on this dispute demand would he
futile
The Japanese ENJOYS yesterday en-
tered into traffic arrangement with
the Russians whereby direct oonnec-
tions will be established between the
Chinese Eastern railway which is now
japanese property and the Siberian
Manchurian railroad, which belongs
! TO Russia in order to provide through
transportation for freight and pass
engers
| 1t hardly seems possible that any in
demnity could be concealed i'll that ar
rangement but it must be remembered
that equal treatment of Russia Oh the
eastern Chinese railway would prove
valuable concession for which it is
not improbable that Russia would be
willing to pay handsomely. The ori-
entail mind is a crafty one. Then again
the exact details relative to the un-
derstanding reached on the rail road
demand is being hedged about with
more or less secrecy.
1t is hardly probable that such an
arrangement will he written into the
treaty but it is quite possible, in the
opinion of some observers, that at q
future date it may be found that Japan
is obtaining from Russia financial ad-
vantages which while of great valne
have not been disclosed at this con.
ference.

movement in the Wiliamsport Prohi-
bition convention
The bitter and personal attacks upon
Berry which were made upon the floor
OF the Prohibition state convention
were not anticipated, and the large vote
polled against his nomination was a
complete surprise To the fusion crowd.
Since the adjournment OF the VIII
Transport convention hundreds of the
most prominentaud influential Prohibi-
tionists In the state have publicly de
clared that they will not vote for Berry
for state treasurer and others have
gone so far as to announce that this
year they are going TO vote the full
Republican ticket.
Berry's Coat Of Many colors.
They say they have not renounced
the cause of Prohibition, but they
look upon Berry as an oflice-seeklhG
tobber. who has successfully es-
housed the cause Of free silver, Bryan
lam free trade, Parkerism, and now
is a Prohibltionist, and no one knows
what next he will advocate In order to
land in a fat state Office. A large ma
tority of Prohibitionists of Pennsyl-
vania sympathize with Republicanism,
aside from their views on the Drohlbl-
tion of the liquor traffic. II they can
not get sincere and loyal Prohibition
lists to vote for, the chances are that
they will support the Republican nom
inees.
There has been much indignation
expressed at the manipulations by the
Democratic and insurgent Republican
leaders which resulted In the indorse-
ment Of Berry at Williamsport' ana
the returns at the coming election are
bound to show a falling on OF the Pro
hibition vote for the candidate for
state treasurer.
Meanwhile. with the Democrats ana
the Prohibitionists at odds over the
selection of Berry, the RepubllcanS
throughout the state are supporting
their candidate for state treasurer,
Lee Plummer. with enthusiasm, and
his election by an overwhelming ma
jority is confidently predicted by
State Chairman Andrews.

FRENCH PRAISE
THE PRESIDENT

PARIS, Aug. 3O.-The French news
papers this morning devote lengthy
and eulogistic editorials to President
Roosevelt Tho President is the hero
of the hour-indeed little mention is
made of Emperor Nicholas. The
Matin" says
Roosevelt is the great victor. He
forced the belligerents who were
strangling one another to meet on
neutral grounds with the same tran
guilty that he displayed on the eve of
the battle at the head of his Roug h
Riders He tackled the respective
delegates of the belligerent parties,
facing Japan cupidity and Russian in
fatuation. with the same disdain for
diplomatic usages as when he was
charging the trenches with his slouch
hat on the ground and white hand
kerchief around his neck. He is the
great victor of this battle of giants. "
The Petit Journal says: All
honor is due to President Roosevelt.
As the promoter of this conference, he
is benefactor to humanity.
The Petit Parisian" says: The
result is due to one man, President
Roosevelt. The Russians and Japanese
and the whole world owe a debt of
gratitude to him. "
The Figaro" says: Japan has
shown moderation i'll her hour of vic
tory. She understood that peace
which humiliates cannot be lasting
peace. "
Gil Bias says: "The Russians were
beaten increasingly and could not con
time the war. Peace had to be sign
ed and President Roosevelt hastened
its conclusion "
