1S.-The following announcement was
made here officially today: The
fortress OF Kovno together with all
the forts and an amount OF war ma
terial which had not been determined
had been in German hands since last
night. More than 400 cannon we're tai

storm in spite OF a most tenacious
resistance by the Russians"
LONDON, Aug 1S.-Tne fall of the
Russian fortress OF kovno announced
officially in Berlin today makes de-
velopment of unmistakable import.
ance in the great struggle between
the Russians and opponents. The
news from Berlin yesterday that
some Of the outlying forts had been
taken indicated the situation Of the
Russian defenders was a desperate
one so that London was prepared for
today's announcement. although hard
ly expecting it so soon. The Russian
armies apparently have not been able
10 reorganize sufficiently to check
TIE Austro German advance which is
being pushed steadily against the
ring Of strong fortresses which form
the outer defense TO the Petrograd
provinces.
The armies OF the Central powers
show no disposition TO relax pressure
on the east front nor are they likely
TO do so until they have tried once
to separate the Russians northern
and southern army and capture Brest-
Litovsk. News from Turkish sources
that new landing party on Gallipoli
peninsula near Suvla Bay has been
engaged heavily is confirmed in an Of
ficfal report today from General Ham
ilton, the British commander at the
Dardanelles front. stating that the
British left had won 500 yards Of
ground including Turkish trench.
General Hamilton also reported the
repulse Of a determined Turkish at
tack against the Australian position.
Little change is reported in the dip
Iomatic situation in the near east.

A Short One Every Day
for the Busy Business Man

Enthusiasm is a valuable asset IA
advertising. Get full Of your subject.
Impress others with the enthusiasm
that you possess.
The evening newspapers form the
greatest advertising mediums for city
or community advertising. It Is the
paper that goes into the home and
stays there.
Never waste advertising space and
good money in telling the public about
the faults OF your competitor. or the
poor quality of his goods. It Is your
self and your goods that you want 70
boom-and you can't do anything BY.
knocking some one else. e
The advertised article is guaran.
teed by the whole worth OF the busi.
ness of the advertiser Nothing
stands back Of the substituted articlts
but the retailers say.so.
1t is not always true that the man
who knows the goods best is the msn
best qualified to advertise them. The
trouble is that he Is so familiar With
them that he does not get the proper
perspective He Is not able 20 see

He sees the goods from the inside
He uses technical language in Do.
scribing them. He may be informtng
but he is not as interesting to the
public as the writer Of advertising
who looks at the matter from the OUT
side. and describes the goods in 9 way
to interest those who have no novt
edge of them.
Fake advertising never yet built up
a permanent business or established :
desirable reputation. 1t has. on the
contrary. frequently brought financial
ruin to the advertiser. 2
An advertisement that carries cou
viction is good advertisement.
The man who does not advertise
because he doesn't know how htmseK
ought to stop eating because he can't
cook.
Advertising brains will accomplish
more than advertising luck.

LONDON, March 9.-The decision of the municipal authorities of Louvain, Belgium, to give American names to certain streets in the city, is set forth in a formal resolution of thanks which was adopted on Washington's birthday by the burgomaster and aldermen of Louvain and sent to the American con- mission for relief in Belgium. The res olution concludes:
 'The cradle of a university of five centuries standing, and today herself partly in ruins the city of Louvain can not fail to associate with the memory of Washington, one of the greatest captains, the name of the learned pro- lessor whose admirable precepts and high political attainments. as also his firmness of character, and dignity of fife, all contributed to carry him sue cessively to the president of the Prince ton University, the governorship of New Jersey and finally the presidency of the United States.

One Legged Negyo
 Votes Eight Times
 In Teyye Haute
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcHl

INDIANAPOLIS, March "A one legged negro in Terre Haute voted eight times at, the last November election, disguising himself each time by changing his artificial leg, United States District Attorney Daley told the jury here. For this and other all legged election frauds, Mayor Roberts and twenty seven others are on trial in the United States district court.
 Daley said the negro, after using wooden, cork and iron legs and hay ing appeared once legless with a crutch and once with a cane, finally added to his disguise by putting on a pair of glasses. Daley also charged that election inspectors favorable to Mayor Roberts stood where they could see how the voting machines were worked, and signalled persons outside who gave money to voters who pulled the proper levers
 He also charged they pulled a lever for a timid voter, registering for him a desire not his own. Daley in his speech was outlining to the jury what he said the government intended to prove. When he finished his ad- dress. the court adjourned until to- morrow.

RATES DECIDED
 UPON PREVIOUS
 T0START0F WAR
When Forty-one Railroads Raised Rates, Not Their Purpose to Profit Merely Because of Wars Higher Grain Prices
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcHl

CHICAGO, March 9.-When the forty-one western railroads, now seek ing advances in freight rates, arranged higher schedules, it was not their pur pose to profit merely because of higher prices paid for grain on account of the war, according to testimony at the in- terstate commerce commissions hear ing of the railroads petition.
 F. B. Boyd, cnalrman of the Western Trunk line committee testified the pro- posed higher rates were decided upon four months before the war began.
 Grain shipped between certain points is among the commodities upon which higher rates is sought and by which the roads hope to increase their revenues. it is said, ten million a year. or advance one and a half per cent of last years freight revenue
 All we figured was that the rates should be reasonable" Boyd said. 'They are not reasonable now. It will be i'm possible to run the railroads on that basis higher rates when wheat 1t up and lower rates when the price is down."
 The advances asked would leave the rates lower than those prevailing in 1905. The proposed rates are lower than those prevailing to the northwest although the latter are based upon ar unduly low scale, through the effect of the unreasonable low distance tariff ir Minnesota. Grain, Boyd said, was upor an equitable plan compared with other commodities.

 ReheQying Plea

More than an echo of the Gherna case was heard yesterday in the su preme court when the motion of defen- dant for rehearing of his case was de- nied by the states highest tribunal. The courts action closes the last loop hole for Gherna to secure a reversal of the court sentence in the state courts.
 Gherna was arrested January 1 for selling pint of whisky in violation of the prohibition law and given a ninety day jail sentence and a s100 fine. He appealed to the supreme court on the grounds that the new law was confis- catory and unconstitutional, but the de- cision of the lower court was sustained. It is stated that he will carry his case to the supreme court of the United States. An interesting feature of the trial here was the report that Gherna had applied to the pardon board for clemency before the argument was concluded

House Gets Through About One-third of the Appro- priatiOn Bill Before Ad- journment Yesterday Af- terlOOn
SENATE PASSES
 THE LAND BILL
Banking and Good Roads Measure Will Likely Be Dumped by the Wayside. Pari Mutuel EXcites Gu riosity

There were few high points in the legislative proceedings yesterday. There were many things that would have been of interest a week or two weeks ago but which were devoid of interest at this late day. when it was evident that nothing possible could come of them in the regular session.
 It was plainer than ever that nothing important could be accomp- lished before tomorrow night at midnight, and that an extraordinary session could not be avoided. The state could get along without any other legislation than the general ap~ propriation bill, but all probability of it's passage was removed yesterday.
 When the house adjourned in the afternoon the bill had been less than one third completed. In the hour de- voted to it in the committee of the whole, only three sections were gone over in addition to the sections relating to the corporation commits sion, which had been passed. More than three hundred sections yet re- main and they include the more difficult and time consuming ones.
 The house could send the bill to the senate at any time before the hour of final adjournment, only ty abandoning the consideration of it and sending it over unread.
 The rumor persisted yesterday that an extra session would be called by the governor on March p. It had been reported that it was the inten- ton to the governor to reconvene the legislature about July 1 so as to give the opposition members a fore taste of what they may expect in the life to come. but money will be need cd for the conduct of state insti- tutions long before that date. With out the appropriation bill, things will be brought to a standstill.
 The senate yesterday afternoon passed the lond bill and sent it across but some of the members of the house were doubtful last night as to whether an attempt would be made to consider it at all The house could not agree to some of it's pro- visions and there would be no time to disagree.
