Bug e, it joins the Narew, north
of the Pc y 'apital
Warsaw 'olds out, but the gen.
eral belief h s that it's loss by
the Russians is Jnly matter of time.
Dispatches reaching London last
night from Petrograd, predict that
the much discussed climax to the
great struggle in Poland will come
within fortnight with simultaneous
attacks on the city from the north and
south. In the meantime General Won
Bulow's troops, driving south from
Courland, are thirty-five miles south
east of Shawl, having reached the
Poniewesch railway junction, linked
with the Vilna-Dvinsk line, which the
German cavalry is attempting to seize,
preparatory to cutting the more i'm
portant Kovno-Vilna line. The effec-
tive German cavalry in this area is
estimated at Petrograd at 10000.
The reported cession by Turkey to
Bulgaria of the Turkish portion of the
Dedeaghatch railway has created con-
siderable discussion in England, but
the Bulgarian legation at London in
sists that it had no confirmation of
such an arrangement. 1t is stated in
circles protesting to understand the
situation that it would have no effect
on Bulgaria's neutrality, although this,
of course, is debatable. By a treaty
signed at Constantinople, Turkey
granted Bulgaria the free use of the
line for ten years, but this privilege,
it is contended. has been frequently
revoked of late, Turkey repeatedly
stopping freight traffic. Bulgaria pro-
tested against this and finally a fort
night ago, forbade the movement of
Turkish consignments across her bor-
ders. To remedy this situation ap-
pears to be the immediate object of
Turkeys present move.
The fighting in the western war
theater consists mainly of artillery en-
gagements and sapping operations,
with no material gains by either side.
Fierce fighting continues on the
eastern sectors of the Austro-ltalian
front, especially on the Doberdo pla-
teau, where the Italians have attack
ed relentlessly, but, according to Wen
ma have secured only temporary local
success which the Austrians after
ward counterbalanced by recapturing
their original position.
In the region of Kern, the Italians
are declared to have suffered heavy
losses from the Austrian artillery after
having been repulsed in hand-to-hand
fighting, in which the Austrians rolled
boulders down the mountain side on
their foes.

WASHINGTON, D. c., August s.
Beyond the northern limits of the
scrub pine and shaggy stunted fir
there is Russian people, the Sam
oyeds, who, In all likelihood, have not
yet learned that the Crimean War is
ended land who have no idea Of the
difficulties that the Tsar, the Little
Father who adopted them is facing In
present world-war. So vast Is the
Muscovite realm that rumors of .he
greatest war in history cannot have
penetrated to its outskirts, to The
wastes fringing the Arctic, to the
mountain tangles just beyond Mongolia
or to the evergreen forests of the
Kamschatka. Russia harbors many

uages of the northern hemisphere

railroads, telephones and telegraphs,
and beyond the reach of the press.
"The Yurak samoyeds, that branch
which dwells in European Russia, it is
estimated, counts in all only about e.
900. OF these 5000 live in the Euro
pean tundra. In build they are short
and stocky, with faces much more
fiattened than tue Firms, with thick
lips, black hair, fla noses and dark
compilations. They are said to be a
fearless and warlike people, though it
is generations since they have given
any evidence of aggressive tempera-
ment. In their dealings with the
stranger, they are described as mild
and scrupulously honest.
Mighty rivers, like the Pschora drain
through their lands into the Attic Sea,
In the brief summer and spring times,
these streams, thawing much sooner ia
their southern sources, sweep in turbl-
ent floods over the fat lands border
ing their lower reaches. Of roads
through the tundra, there are almost
none, and such as exist are possible
only for the hardy reindeer and the
all-enduring little horses of the north.
Small villages and human habitations
are hundreds of miles apart and, then,
often, are merely post stages, which
the Russian government has establish
ed, for the transportation of mails and
rare passengers beyond the confines of
civilization to such far places as the
village Aschino.
"The Samoyeds are a poor people,
mostly, and very thrifty. They exc out
a precarious existence in their inhos-
pitable country, and have learned
through necessity to eat anything
which grows there. They eat even tie
wolves that menace the safety of their
reindeer and of themselves upon their
seal and fur hunting trips. Besides
meat and fish, the Samoyeds have al
plain, hard, black bread as staple, and
another bread, which is baked of putrld
fish and rye meal.

While Sumter county farmers will
make a very good corn crop, despite
the prevailing drought, many fthem
will sell part of their crop, although
they should hold every bushel of 1t TO
advantage. But if they insist upon
selling their corn, Americas mercn-
ants should afford them an adequate
market for it AS merchants in other
towns are preparing to do already.
The farmers of Dodge county are
going to have large surplus crop Of
corn to market this year, and Eastman
is preparing to help them market it to
the best advantage.
w. S. Miner is going to install a
corn husker and shelter in connection
with his cotton gin, to which the farm
err can haul corn as he does his cotton
to the gin, and have it shelled and
sacked ready for shipment. Mr.. Mill
ner is also erecting a warehouse IN
which the corn can be stored, the
farmer receiving receipt for it, the
same as he does his cotton.
Secretary Glessner of the Chamber
of Commerce, is negotiating for a sup
ply of standard size sacks in which to
ship corn, and is also corresponding
with a number of parties in different
sections to find the nearest and most
profitable market. Eastman is goiag
to give the farmers of Dodge county
practical and substantial encourage
ment in diversifying their crops.
