RECALLS DEFEAT
OF JAPAN'S FLEET
Togo's Visit Brings Back
Memory of McDougal.
sILENCED NIPPoN'S CRUISERS
American Naval Hero, Who Died
Twenty-nine Years Ago To-day,
Won Fame by Completely VAN
quishing Ships and Shore Bat
teries with His Frigate Wyoming.

With Admiral Togo, the japanese naval
hero, attracting public attention here as
the guest OF the nation, older members
of the navy recall that twenty-nino years
ago to-day Commander David Stockton
McDougal, of the United States navy,
died. This American naval hero with
a single ship destroyed a japanese squad
ron and silenced the batteries of Shi-
monoseki in 1865.
OF the exploit that Commander Nc
Dougal performed in 1853 when he was
attacked in the steam frigate Wyoming
by a Japanese squadron in the Straits
Of Shimonoseki, former President Roose-
welt has written:
Had this action occurred at any other
time than during the civil war its fame
, would have been echoed all over the
world"
McDougal was fifty-two years old and
in command of the steam frigate Wyo-
ming when the civil war was begun. He
had had brilliant career in the Ameri-
can navy, which he entered in his teens.
On being detailed to the Orient, he
learned that the Mikado of Japan had
put in force an edict expelling foreign
ers. and that japanese vessels had made
attacks upon American vessels IN tne
Straits Of Shimonoseki.
Fights Three Cruisers.
McDougal proceeded at once to the
scene of the troubles and reached the
fortifcations on the bluffs which COM
manded the straits. There he found
three japanese vessels lying in wait and
ready to attack. The batteries on the
heights also were prepared. McDougal
without hesitation ran his vessel In for
action, shaking out his colors, but -
serving his fire until he could come closer
to the enemy's ships.
At sight of the American flag the jap
anese ships and batteries opened fire,
but tha action of the American COM
mander had dlsconcerted the enemy and
McDougal by rapid and well directed
fire sank two of the japanese ships and
silenced the third.
Turning his attention to the shore
batteries. he maintained an effective fire
while deliberately retraclng his course
through the straits. Long afterward, 1t
is said, the Japanese clansmen who
were in the fight that day spoke respect
fully of the American devil"
McDougal returned home to take charge
Of the Marc Island Navy Yard. He was
retired Nth the rank of rear admiral
In 1878, and died in San Francisco Au-
gust I. 1851.

Mosquitoes Formidable Enemy TO
Officers and Crew.
Provincetown, Mass, Aug. 6.-An at
tack was made on Uncle SANS ships
Of war last night. 1t came from an
unexpected foe and was not on tie off,
cial schedule Searchlights and 12-inch
guns were of no avail, coping with
which, hungry and in legion, had arisen
from nearby swamps in a brcezeless
evening and assaulted town and navy.
It wasn't long before what Y at first
accepted as a joke became -
Newspapers, fans. feather dustesN and
clenched fists Were used on shore. May
women wore wells and scores smeured
hands and faces with ointment On thS
ships the foe invaded officers quarters
and forecastle, causing misery and loss
of sleep. They gave the famous New
Jersey breed a run for size and agility.
Bluejackets claimed some killed had
double stingers," and that they would
prefer to face 12-inch guns. The mos
quito attack was the talk Of the town.

GREAT RESULTS and GOOD

ROOT JUICE HAS PROVED IT'S
GREAT MERIT TO MANY.

Many people here, as elsewhere, are
no longer incredulous, they are simply
amazed at the results obtained from
Root Juice. When the remedy was
first introduced to this community and
so many were being benefited by a few
doses, it was generally thought that
the medicine would only give temper
airy relief, but as the time passes and
many that are ailing are no longer
complaining. but are advising their
sick friends to try Root Juice, cont
dence in the great medicine is becoin-
ing positive. Root Juice makes so
many remarkable cures by removing a

BIG ENGINES.
Known as the Mallet Articu-
lated Compound Type
Are Received.


BALTIMORE, Mar. 1s.-The Bal
timorc and Ohio Railroad has been
notified that five OF the largest rail-
road locomotives ever constructed, Of
the Mallet Articulated Compound
type, have been completed and have
left the shops at Richmond, enroute
to Baltimore for delivery, all ready
tosbe placed IN service. Ten of these
huge locomotives were contracted
for by the Baltimore and Ohio sew
eral months ago, the present INSTALL
ment being the first delivery to be
made under the contract. The weight
of the new engines is Isl, 900 pounds,
or $1,000 pounds in excess OF any
motive power heretofore built; the
tender weighs $1,000 pounds, max
ing the combined weight Of the en-
CINE and tender $4,000 pounds, The
new locomotives will be placed in
service to haul freight trains over
the mountain division of the Balti-
more and Ohio.
The Baltimore and Ohio was the
first American railroad to purchase
a Mallet engine, which is of French
design, and after exhibiting one as
a part of the company's display at
the Worlds Fair st. Louis, in
1904, it was put in uke as a helper
engine in freight service over the
AIlegany mountains. This engine,
which is still in use on the Connells,
Vile division, weighed $4,000 pounds
being the heaviest engine in the
world at the time It was built. Prov
Ing especially adapted to American
railroading, where large tonnage is
handled, still larger locomotives of
the same type were purchased by the
lines for use as helpers on freight
trains. ~
The Mallet locomotives are 9S
feet, 8 Ia inches long from the pilot
to the drawbar on the tender, having
16 driving wheels arranged in sets of
four pairs. The engine also has two
sets of cylinders, those forward being
low pressure and those in the rear
Ihigh-pressure cylinders. The steam
pressure of the new engines is 21O
pounds to the square inch.
The Mallet engines were included
in the contra Its for new equipment
placed early Il st year with a view 70

time, it will be remembered, the Bal

ginia' which work is progressing sat

w. c. T. u. Notes.

At the regular monthly meet
ing of the w. c.. T. U. held at
the home of Mrs. Emma West,
Mrs. NJ. L. Craise of 1919 Larimer
street was present to describe
her work at the Willard Settle
ment, where every day about 35
children came in from the street
to be taught to sew and to sing
and to be instructed in temper
ance truths. 1t is a work of
which any society might feel
proud and very far-reaching in
it's consequences for good. The
Arvada Union contributed five
dollars toward the support of
this unique charity. The Union
also spent four dollars in local
charity and two dollars and a
half to help pay the expense of
supplying the cruiser Colorado
with comfort bags.
Mrs. Craise spoke of her visit
to the Colorado in the harbor of
San Fracisco. The life which the
sailor boy leads is very monote-
nous and void of home cheer; he
is very much like a prisoner Of
the government.
1t was hard to get correct re-
ports about Maine, there was con-
siderable see-sawing between the
wet" and dry and the usual
talk about the law having been a
farce, and that it would be dryer
when it was wet, ETC., but the
great fact remains that Maine
will keep her law. A special cor
respondent to the Union Signal
said she could almost write
another chapter to put in the
New Testament beside that of
of Pauls butfetings and trials,
describing the heroism of those
in the campaign. Many of the
churches held all day prayer
meetings. The Lord did help.
