TURkO.ITALIAN WAR ONLY
FARCE.

The number OF casualties in the
"great war" between Italy and Tur-
key has resolved itself Monday into
the accidental killing of two men and
q woman during the furious lombard
ment of Tripoli.
During the first days Of the war every
capital in Europe teemed with circum-
stantial reports of fierce fighting by
land and sea, but now that the cable
between Tropoli and Malta has been
reopened these reports have been
shown to be considerably exaggerated
and, in some instances: manufactured.
The usual report reached Monday Of
Turkish torpedo-boats being sunk in
the Adriatic, with the variation of a
sensational rumor that the Turks had
sunk an Austrian ship.
Dispatches from Malta state that
fishermen, arriving there from Tropoli
say the town was practically unharm-
ed by the bcmbardment and that the
Italian gunners fired so wildly that
most of their shots passed over the
forts and burned themselves harmless
ly in the sand.
The same witnesses assert that the
only casualties we're three persons kill
ed while watching the bombardment.
The fishermen add that the only Turks
who had any desire to fight were few
artillerymen who had never fired the
ancient guns in the forts and wanted
to do so out of curiosity.
Rumor has once more annihilated
the Turkish feet. This time it is re.
ported to have been sent 10 the bottom
with all hands of Rhodes. People in
Naples are beginning to treat the
daily reports of great naval engage.
ments as joke, the Turkish feet hav.
ing been reported sunk in at least hall
a dozen places and bets are being
made as to the whereabouts of its mex
appearance.

5000 Turks RepuIsed

Tripoli, Oct. 10. The Turks, ap-
parently, do not intend to abandon
Tropoli to the tia lians without further
determined resistance. For several
days bands of horsemen have been re-
connitering in the vicinity of the TIA
liar outposts. Several times at night
they have been discovered by the
searchlights OF the warships aud then
shell have driven them back into the
hills.
A force of about 5000 Turkish
troops with fieldguns was discovered
advancing in two columns, with the
| evident intention of re-capiuring the
tow. The Italian commander had an
intimation that such an attemp. would
be made, and his men were amply pre-
pared.
The Turks were met with heavy
artillery aud rifle fire, to which they
replied with equal energy. 1t wa
moonlight ard the fleet turned search
lights on the contending forces. When
the engagement was at its height the
battleships and cruisers joined with
| their smaller batteries, directing the
shells to cover the italian front and
Aank.
For more than an hour the firing
on shore was continuous, but about
O'Clock it slackened and gradually
ceased. The Turks retired, but in
good order, although it is reported
that they suffered heavy losses.
Another body of Turks tried to
turn the Italians eastern flank, but
without success. The Italian causal-
ties were slight.
The feet pursued the retreating
turks with heavy she'll fire until
O'Clock n the morning.
The footing by the Arabs, which
occurred after the bombardment and
the disorderly flight of abe Turkish
troops, was to great extent the
work OF $50 criminals left in prison,
who beat down the doors and escaped.
The hooters made clean sweep of the
vali's palace, the public buildings,
barracks and the forts. Nothing was
left but the bare walls and great
litter Of valuable official documents.
Even doors and windows were remov-
ed and the powder magazines pillaged.
TheTurks appear to have had
enormous supplies of ammunition,
guns, rifles, and projectiles. Guam
titles OF power cartridges and shells
have since been recovered from the
looters and the Italians have blown
up the large powder magazines.

TWO TERMS ARE OUT

This is our Motto for County
officers. and not party politics.
Hutcheson, Spiker and Bowman
have had their two term and three
respects, now vote them out.
Give Wunder and Rush William
son another term, and then let us
apply this same doctrine to them
and by this means make room for
other citizens equally as meritori-
GUS as they.
The principle is fair; it is just,
our people have repeatedly voted
for it without regard to politics.
and should follow it up on the
9TH of November next. One more
election on this principle will re-
move the political rings, whether
democratic or republican. II
means square deal to all; bless
ing that can only result to the
people by driving political rings
and ringsters out Of office.
PROGRESSIVE REPUBLICAN.

On account of the prevalence Of
bitter rot this year, there has beer
some uneasiness among apple buyers
and growers as to whether bitter rot
would develop in cold storage The
Winchester Star requested DR..
Waite's advice on this subject, and
his reply is given below:
Editor Star:
Dear Sir Your letter of September
16, about bitter rot in apples after
picking, is at hand There is no dan
ger Of bitter rot developing after
the apples are in cold storage.
The only danger is lin the in
terval between packing the fiuit
and the storage house. II the apples
are kept cool and put promptly in
storage with day or two or possibly
three days, they will not develop in
the barrel enough to do a3y harm
Cold staraee then will make them
safe. II, on the other hand, the
weather is very warm and the inter-
val il more than two or three days,
there is danger Of their going down
in the barrels.
Yours very truly,
M. B. WAITE,
Psychologist in Charge.

DenounCe Treating. +"

Washington, D. c., October 9. :
That anti-treating, not prohibition,
is the proper step to take in the d.
rection OF temperance is the text of a
resolution that was unanimously in
dorsed in the National German-Amer-
lean Alliance convention today.
Philip Rappaport, of the delegation,
presented the resolution and called
upon all members of the alliance to
pledge themselves not to accept or to
give treats and not to drink over a
bar.
These remarks were greeted with ap-
plause, and the resolution was
adapted.
Consideration of prohibition was
one of the chief questions of discus
sion at the session yesterday after.
noon and evening.
Prohibition was assaulted as an in
fringement on personal liberty. The
State of Maine was congratulated on
its standing against the prohibition
law that stood on it's statute books
for years. That the State mas &c
more right to adopt an absolute pro
hibition than it has to prescribe the
manner of dress and food of the PEG
pie was set forth in the resolutio
presented by Delegate j. S. Sutro, ot
the New York delegation, who i
