Another History-Making Battle.

Since the last issue of this paper
one Of the most decisive naval bat
ties of the world has been fought in
the Orient. Japan has put the final
touches on the destruction Of Rus
sian power in the Pacific ocean.
The far-reaching consequences Of
this battle no one can foiesee.
1t may only mean revolution in
naval constructive, or an abandon
ment Of great battleships and a
substitution in their stead of swarms
OF torpedo and submarine boats.
Or it may mean, in the no dis
tant future, a race war between
the Caucasians of Europe and the
Mongolians of Asia. The thought
full American is thankful for the Pa
cific ocean, and willing to agree
with the latest utterances of Presi-
dent Roosevelt in favor of a still
greater navy.
This much the battle does settle:
A nation to be secure must have in
addition to ships and armies, a
government that offers to its people
something more than oppression
and degradation.

Former Wealthy Iowa Woman scws

Waterloo, Ia, May 3O.-Mrs. An

place, who died a pauper Friday. was
buried with funeral services for which
she had paid by sewing while living
in the poorhouse.
Mrs. Nerber was formerly wealthy,
but few years ago she decided all of
her property to her relatives to make
her home with them. She failed to
agree with them, and finally left, going
to the poorhousc. Although pauper
she could not bear the thoughts of be-
ing buried in pauper's grave, so she
sewed night and day to earn money
to be buried beside her husband who
died twenty years ago.
About year ago the fund was COM
pleted and Mrs. Kerber purchased her
burial dress. Everywhere she went
she took it with her. She had many

JURY CONDONEs
PULFORD SUICIDE
Close of the Dual Tragedy Which
Has Stirred the Citizens Of
Savanna, Ill.

Savanna, ILL.,, May 20.-After n brief
examination of three witnesses the
coroner's jury brought in verdict de-
claring "Bothwell Pulford came to his
death from a gunshot wound by his
own hand. while, as we believe, in a
state Of melancholIa collapse"
DIR. G. w. Johnson, brother-in-law of
the dead man, made the suggestion
which the jury acted upon in declar-
ing that Pudford was practically ire
sponsible for the act. Charity for the
suicide was uppermost in the minds
of most of the jury, and they sought
to shield him by inserting the words
"mental collapse"
Thus closes the dual tragedy which
for four days has stirred this COM
munity. More and more does the con-
yiction grow that the suicide of Both
well Pulford MS his confession OF tile
murder of Daniei S. Berry.

patches of The Associated Press. The
general impression produced by the
cable messages undoubtedly was ex-

that the most definite and most rell-
able information received up to the
time the official announcement was
sent out from Toxic came by way of
Washington. The receipt Of the Toxic
official bulletin announcing that Ro-
Jestvensky's fleet was practically an

admiralty officials destroying the hope
to which many of them had clung that
The silence of the Japanese govern

engagements We're made for holding a
strike demonstration on July 5. AT
the meeting each union affiliated with
the central body was represented by
three delegates, at the request of Pres
ident Dold. The strike situation was
discussed in all its details and the SEN
timent of the meeting was that the
teamsters should continue the fight un-
til the seven express companies should
offer some sort of compromise.
To prove that a transfers union per-

operating their business by an ait
rangement with Cornelius z. Shea and
other officers Of the Transfers union,

strike leaders have conspired to injure
the business of the members of the

that Attorney Mayer, who left here
Saturday, is there and says he expects
to have conference with the express
magnates. At the same time he said
that the express companies would new

struck; he was very clear and posi-.

ers to have been guilty of inexcusable
and reckless breach of contract Mayer
