SLAIN" MAN RETURNS;
 FINDS "SLAYER" IN JAIL

MILWAUKEE. Wis.-Frank Klug for whose murder" Nick Georgian is serving a 25 years sentence and whose body was identified by his family, has just returned to his we-stricken family. Klug supposedly was mur-
 dered on August 22, 1914. Georgian wa: sentenced December B. 1914.
 According to attorneys and officials, the fact that it was not Klug who was murdered will make no difference to Georgian. That man was murdered was well established. they say, and the circumstantial evidence positively con- nected Georgian with the crime. Geor- gian. however, has continually denied his guilt. Klug left home because of domestic troubles. Fearing arrest for desertion he made no effort to com- municate with his family, and recent letter from a friend gave him his first intimation that he had been "mur- dered"

 France seemed doomed and helpless before a power she could not control and the world was ready with it's sym pathy But the French are still un- beaten and the Germans are far from Paris. This is exactly what has oc- cured along the far-stretching battle reaches of the eastern front and despite the great advantage gained, the forts and cities taken. the final result Is no more determined than by that first great rush to overwhelm the French in one mighty blow. Russia is beaten but is far from being crushed and until this result is obtained the final issue will not be determined. Russia al the present Is fighting what military au- thorities are agreed is one of the cost Hest encounters for the Germans that has SO far occurred. Along the entire wide flung battle line she is presenting n solid front to the enemy and Is con- testing every step of his forward way. Able to stand or to retreat at will, she can offer a furious defense until ser ious danger threatens. when she may retire with little prospect of losses be- lvond the rear guard left behind to cover the retreat. Hers Is no precipi- tate retreat; the Germans are forced to fight every inch of the way and al-
 ways in the open where the losses are greatest and the successes are slight gains of territory which are In no way serious to an empire of such vast pro- portions as Russia. Germany is gain ing ground but in so doing she Is pay i ing a dreadful price and she dare not relax her efforts for the reason that al- ways, just beyond the line where she has concentrated practically every ounce of weight that can be spared from
 the western front, Is still mighty army, intact and solid and ready to
 strike a deadly blow the moment the opportunity is offered. This probably Iaccounts for the fact that Germany makes no attempt to fling her legions ] to the west for the great decisive blow of which she has so often spoke. Rus sia is still a most formidable foe and until she Is crushed to the point where effective resistance can no longer be offered 1t Is probable that the final out come of the war will not appear.

WAR INVENTIONS

A Philadelphian. reported by the newspaper men who interviewed him to have spent his life in scientific re- search and manufacture, makes the broad statement: Contrary to popular belief. Germany has produced no great invention for waging scientific war is n partner in a widely known firm which produces high class mechanism and appliances for ships and guns He declared that explosives. guns shells. sights. range finders and peri scopes, as well as many conspicuous things about warships. were the chil- dren of American, English. French and Italian brains. He might have added to the list the aeroplane and the sub marine. both American inventions, which Germany has done little even to improve.
 As matter of fact, Germany has acknowledged supremacy in but one industrial field. the field of industrial chemistry; and more particularly in coal tar derivatives. The best of the heavy artillery which has appeared in this war were Austrian, not German I guns. In light artillery the French pieces have shown marked super iority.
 Not Germany alone, but all of the belligerents are largely in debt to the United States, and this more particu- larly for the inventions which have made this war different from any other ever waged. The aeroplane, the sub marine, the periscope, the range finder. all American in origin and in develop ment, are the things and practically the only things, which have changed the entire system of the conduct of wars. In way the situation now is similar to that at the close of our own civil war. during which the armored vessel was perfected to the point that 1t made the nayies of the world, existing before that time, obsolete and condemned them all to the junk heap.

WAR CUTS BIRTH RATE IN
 LONDON 280 A WEEK

LoNDON.-France has long been suffering from decline in the birth rate England during the last few vears has been steadily following suit The decrease, war baby" reports not
 vitbstanding, has now reached the col ossal total of 2S0 a week in London alone. In the provinces 1,500 fewer babies are entering the world in the same period as compared with last year
 Statistleians are at their wits end The decline means drop of S0,000 for the country during 1914, which was particularly bad year, owing to the fact that very few children of fourteen were registered in the schools, the Boer war having caused slump of fathers in 1900. If London be taken as a lead, the decline of 280 births a week spells a loss in natural increase in population at the rate of S,720 per annum in Lon don alone.
 Taking boys alone, the decline amounts to an average of 164 week. as compared with the preceding five years. The loss of boy population to London. therefore is something like 5000 a year. If London and the ninety seven big towns be punched together, there is a slump of nearly 2,000 week, and this includes legitimate as well as illegitimate infants.

MARRYING CORPSE INDIAN mUSfiGS TO

 ,rapplns srounus are all eomplned Ill the story oI Indlan Jlm, an aDorlgIne of knik, Alaska, who recently began serving three years sentence at Mo Nell Isiano TOT the killing of Chie1 stephan, of the Nlckoln tribe, In d will derness duel 140 miles north of knik
 last November. The whole story is
 coloreo by one Indian desire to obey
 the white mans law, for after his enemy lay dead at his feet Indian Jim, with no other aid than his son and
 the widow and daughter of the slain
 man, dashed the corpse to sled and took up the long trail to Knik and the white mans justice.
 The story which w. H. Caswell, dep uty United States marshal at Valdez, IL Y Knik, who brought the Indian to Se- attle, tell sounds like a tale of the north from the pen of a Becholdt or l Beach.
 While the tragedy brought Indian Jim a penitentiary sentence, it also brought him the good will of the white
 men of Knik, for it is declared that had Indian Jim chosen to bury the body on the scene of the killing the In dians themselves would never have | tried to brin him to justice. Chief stephan, with his wife and daughter, set out on a trapping expe- dition with the first fall of snow, choosing a remote and nearly inacces-
 sible district, only to find Indian Jim and his son also on the ground, and also with a line of traps. The two par ground, and Indian Jim in an alterca- tion at Stephan's camp killed the latter with his rife.
 The widow and daughter of the slain man were the only witnesses of the deed, Indian Jim's son having remained at his camp. The killers claim of self defense had nothing but his word to back it up.
 Immediately after the tragedy the silent group packed up their few be-
 longings and flashing the body to a
 sled set out on the 140-mile journey to Knik. Of the ten day pilgrimage through the snow with the body of
 his victim on the sledge and for help CTS his son and the widow and daugh ter of the slain, Indian Jim would say
 nothing at the trial, but it is declared
 that only the friendly presence of his son saved his reason.
 Reaching Knik, Indian Jim gave him. self up to the authorities and later
 was duly tried and sentenced, his pre- vious good character and the fact that
 he voluntarily gave himself up to jus
 tice saving him from longer sentence

City Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, SEPT. 3, 1915.

Although year has passed since the New York Journal asked the momen
 tous question: "Will Germany be vic torious, or merely invincible?" the answer seems not to have resolved it. self to perceptible degree as yet. In the interval Germany has indeed per formed mighty works. Her powerful battalions have swept in raging fury over the eastern war zone and the harried Russians have been driven miles within the confines of their own territory. Fort after fort, numbered among the mightest of defenses ever erected by human hands, have fallen before the mammoth Teuton guns and numberless towns and cities and miles of territory have been wrested from the sovereignty of the Czar and are now under the domination of the invaders Germany has accomplished much. Yet mighty as have been the results of this hurculean struggle, they affect but slightly the final determination of the war. Germany is victorious but the Russians are not by any means re- duced to a condition where they nc longer are formidable and there is every indication that should their op- ponents relax the offensive for even a most brief period. the Slavs would again surge forward. In many respects the present retreat of the Russians is parallel to the French and British re- treat from the Franco Belgian border to the walls of Paris. As in the present great eastern drive, nothing could stay for a time the victorious advance of the Teuton forces. Troops were swept away like chaff before the wind; mighty Actresses melted into melancholy heaps of stone and mortar before the blasting fire of the German guns and
 cities Were swallowed up in the re-
 sistless onward sweep of the invading
 host by tens and hundreds. Before that
 whitening on rushing blast of flame
 and steel the marshalled hosts of
 France were as straw before the tide.
 So resistless seemed that mighty rush
 that mankind stared with wonder.

OF
 DAVIS COMMENDED

Gov. Geo. w. Hays has ap- pointed Wallace Davis, son of the late Jeff Davis, attorney general of Arkansas to succeed Wm. L. Moose, whose death occurred in Wisconsin Sept. 2. The people of Arkansas will not question the wisdom of young Davis appointment. It was the friends of Jeff Davis who put Hays in the governors office, and those who know Wallace Davis best say he is a chip off the old block" " Jeff Davis was the greatest man Arkansas has produced in a generation; a great lawyer, a great governor and a great United States Senator. We think it in the highest degree creditable to Gov. Hays that he should thus openly honor the memory of Jeff Davis by appointing his son to this high office.-Bald Knob Eagle.

Encourage The Schools

Another season ofinstruction for the. youth of the commun- ity is before us.
 Let us meet it as becomes an enlightened people who seek to give their offspring an educa- ,tion which will enable them to successively cope with the many obstacles that will beset their pathway through life.
 But that is up to the teach ers-what can we do?" you say.
 We may perform our own duty in the premises by ex- tending to the instructors our loyal support and encourage ment, both by act and word.
 We impress upon our child zen the necessity and impor- tance of absolute obedience to the will of the teacher. We may instill into their young minds the knowledge that unless they improve their educational advantages andop- portunities of today, the com mercial advatages of tomorrow will pass them by.
 This is the day of education, and the man whose mind has received proper training will be found invariably in the as cendant, filling the important positions of life, accommodating

the financial competence which their uneducated brothers seek in vain to the end of their days
 It is vitally necessary that our children of today receive every educational advantage possible to besto# upon them, and this may only be accom- plished to the fullest extent by working in harmony with both teacher and pupil.
 Be not nasty in condemning the teacher for triyal things, but rather bear in mind thatthe child Yho comes home with complaints often voices eondi- tions which exist mainly in its too vivid imagination.
 Remember that the teacher has reached =the age of discre- tion, the child has not. The reasoning capacity of the one has been extended and broad ened to a degree, hiie with the other t is Just beginning to bud.
 The future Hfe of tbe child rea= ef oee community will be smoothed and sWeetened by your loyalE to the teacher of today, and in your own decline of life Eea #Iil view with pride the results of wisdom properly applied.

WHAT MODERN GUNS DO

The Scientific American makes an interesting calcula- tion on the force of explosives in the largest German guns. Their 16-inch gun represents on firing q force of 3o0,0 ,000,0 ,000 foot pounds, equal to the i'm pact that would result from the fall of a block of granite 30 feet wide and 20 feet thick, dropped from heigth of 110 feet.
 The 12-inch Krupp gun fires a protective weighing 981 pounds which leaves a barrel with a velocity of 2.690 feet 3 second. Their maximum range is about 1212 miles, and the shot covers this distance in 95 seconds. If one of these guns is fired in a due north and south direction the projectile will de- Viate a distance of 525 feet, from it's true direction, owing to the revolution of the earth.
The Newark journal., 1915-09-23

A prominent business man of Arkansas recently returned from an extended trip through Mi nesota, Wisconsin and Michigan. He made a special study of farm conditions in .those states, where land values are held so high tL | a man of moderate menas cannot hope to own a farm home. This man is familiar with farm quality and farm values in practically every part of the state of Ar kansas, and the comparisons that he made on his trip were, therefore, all the more interest ing. As a rule, he declares that the productive power of the farms in that region is deeid- edly below that of the average farm in Arkansas.
 Yet, the farmers enjoy much greater conVeniences and more luNuries than do the farmers of Arkansas, whose lands pro- duce greater yields. In search ing for the cause of this state of affairs, he did not have to look long. Everywhere and in every direction. he could see good roads, over which the farmers travelled in going from place to place in the neighbor- hood and to town, where their products were marketed and their supplies purchased. In go- ing from place to place, over such roads, he found that far mers conveyed from two to four times as much at one wa gon load as they usually do over the roads in this state. Also that they were able to cover a given distance in one half to one third of the time that 1t takes to get over the poorer class of roads in Ark ansas. Result is that visitors in- to that country are captivated by the good roads over which they travel while looking the country over and a desire is naturally developed to secure home amid such pleasant sur roundings. Hence, the high price of lands, in response to heavy demand. Withgood roads over the rich bottoms and the fertile hills and valleys of Ark ansas, for homeseekers and in- Vestors to travel while looking at the country, they would not be so critical in their eXamina- ton of lands. but would readily buy at prices far above that at which lands are being offered in this state. Fact is. the prices at which the rich lands of Arkansas are now be- ing offered, are ridiculous and tacit= confession of the fact
