farming. The Homestead is
edited by farmers who live upon
and operate their own arms
right here in the middle West,
so that their teachings are thor
oughly practical. 1t has de-

vicinity are already subscribers
for the HOMESTEAD and all should

ARMENlANs AND TURKS CLASH
Explosion Of Magazine Follows Pitched
Battle at Van.

Vienna.-Many persons have been
killed, and the greater part of
the Armenian quarter at Van, Asia
Minor wrecked by the explosion OF a
magazine, the seizure Of which by
Turkish soldiers an Armenian band
was resisting when the blast occurred.
The A%rmenians, who are already ey-
identity preparing for an uprisini
against the Turks, had concealed a
quantity of dynamite cartridges and
rifles in a church, according to the
reports from Van.
The Turkish soldiers had found the
hiding place and were carrying the
arms and ammunition away when the
Armentans. determined to prevent its
loss, attacked them and a furious fight
followed.
The explosion hurled the church
high In the air, the combatants we're
blown in every direction, many build,
ings in the vicinity were demolished,
and large numbers Of people. 1t is re
ported, were either buried in the ruins
or killed by flying bits of w~reckage.
Van, which has about 10000 popula-
ton, Is an important seat Of the
American missions, but so far az
known none of these suffered.
