BED CROSS FLAG
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 14.—The
Emperor lias reoeived the following
dispatch from Qeueral Stossel, com
mander of the Russian military forces
at Port Arthur, dated August 28:
"I am happy to report to your maj
esty that at 3 o'olock in tho morning
of August 27. daring a violent rain
and thunderstorm, the Japanese again
attempted to captare our loft flank
positions, near No. 1 fort and Udan
mountain. Their attack was every
where repulsed.
Onr losses were small— three men
killed and two offloera and 98 men
wounded. The wounded were brought
in and are being carefully tendod. A
number of Japanese corpsos would
have been picked up by us, but the
enemy prevented us from so doing by
opening Ore on the hospital attend
ants who had been sent out under the
Red Gross flag. "
Another despatoh from General
Stoasel to the Emperor dated Septem
ber 3, Bays:
"On the night of September 1, the
•nemy attacked Visoyaka and Dlin
uaya monntains and the neighboring
fortifloationß, opening simultaneously
an artillery fire on the forts and moun
tains. The leading files of the enemy,
with tho Japanese columns followiug
them, were discovered in good time
and our batteries opened ou them.
The leading files fortuuately encount
ered some automatic mines and many
of the enemy were blown into the air.
The attack was repulsed in an hour.
Our losses wore inconsiderable—one
officer and seven men woundod."
JAPANESE LOSSES
WERE HEAVY
TOKIO, Sept. 14.—General Nodzu
reports that tlio heaviest fighting at

men! having previously lost succes
sively two regimental and four bat
talion oommaudeissacrifioally assault
ed and dislodged the Russians from
Iheir redoubts at Yusfangmi'ao. There
were no Japanese officers above the
rank of Oaptain. Captain Yogami,
commanding the regiment led the
oharge and inspirited his men.
The reserves unhesitatingly filled
the gaps of the assaulting line. The
men,unmindful of wire entanglements
and other obstructions, rushed up to
the Russian works, shouting: ''Ban
aai." One battalion lost all its offic
ers in the first clash and a private sub
sequently oommauded it. One com
pany was reduced to fourteen or fif
teen men. The regiment's losses were
from twelve to thirteen hundred.
In spite of tiie fatigue, at sunrise,
September 4, the Japanese continued
the pursuit of the Russians, bat tho
lack of bridges forced them to tempor
arily remain south of the Taitse river.

lAY MEAN A
JEW FRUIT
State Eoonomio Zoologist Surface
has made pablio a report on the na
tural hybrid between an apple end a
Bartlett pear discovered by Major C.
P. Oearhart and forwarded by him to
the State Agricultural Department.
Dr. Surface will experiment with the
cariosity to determine whether a new
fruit has been discovered.
Major Oearhart's pear-apple which
is being so extensively exploited in
the newspapers was first described in
the columns of the AMERICAN at
the time of its discovery about a
month ago.
The State Zoologist states that lie
will endeavor to learn whether the
seeds of the pear-apple will produoe
an ordinary apple or pear or whether
as Is often the case with hybrids the
seeds are sterile entirely.
Hybrids of the kind in question are
at times more or less imperfeotly
grown by agriculturists or fruit grow
ers, who cross the pollen of one plant
or speoies upon the pistil of another.
But the remarkable feature of Major
Oearhart's freak iri that it was pro
duoed by nature unassisted and that
so far as the State Zoologist knows it
Is the first one of its kind on record.
The brauoh of the apple tree on
whioh the hybrid grew had extended
into the branch of a neighboring pear
treet and the ovary of the apple blos
som was fertilized by pollen from a
pear blossom. In this way the ex
traordinary growth was produoed.
Dr. David Kennedy, Rondout, N. T.
k DEAK Slß:—Some time since I was
troubled with blotches ooming oot on
my breast, of a sorofoloas character,
and my general system seemed to be
oat of order. I was indaoed to try
Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Rem
edy. The first bottle drove the erup
tion away and I feel better every way.

A BRIDGE
A1 RAILWAY
After numerous rumors which prov
ed to bo idlo talk we can now an
nounce with cortaiuty that within a
very short time Sunbury will be con
nected by a bridge with Snyder coun
ty and on this bridge thore will be an
oleotric railway whioh will run from
Sunburr to Seliusgrovo. That this is
not a mere rumor was proven Saturday
morning when surveyors from York,
Pa., arrived in Sunbury and started
the preliminary work in connection
with the building of the bridge.
The bridgo will be built at Baiu
bridge street aud will connect with
the Snyder county shoro near the road
ruuuing along in the rear of Clement's
Park. As soon as the work of the sur
vey is comploted the building of the
bridgo will be started and an effort
will bo made to have the hridge up
and iu service before the first of the
year if the weather permits.
Wlieu tlio bridgo is completed work
on the street railway will be started
and by the time spring opens the peo
plo in Sunbury and Sliamokin and
along the proposed route will have the
advantage of a thorough modern
equipped electric railway.
Through the untiring efforts of At
torney J. K. McWilliams the bridge
and street railway is a sure go after a
year of hard work. The compauy
building the bridge is composed of
Harrisburg capitalists and Ur. Mo-
Williams is the treasurer and secre
tary. The same parties aud officers
composu the company building the
electric railway. The charter for the
bridgo was granted some time ago but
tlio delay in starting the work was
duo to securing the charter for the
railway. The application has been
made and the charter is assured. _The
stockholders of both tlio bridge aud
railway companies will be mostly peo
plo of Sunbury.
It was also learned Saturday morn
ing that an application will bo made
on Monday for a charter for a narrow
gauge railway from Now Berlin to
Winfiold to connect with the Reading
railway. The road will be used main
ly for hauling lumber.—Sunbury Item.
Easy ou Tliobo Children.
Uo » liftlo lenient with the chil
dren during tho first few weeks at
school.
They have troubles of their own.
It is protty hard to give up the oasy
going days of vacatiou and cliango all
at ouce to tho stern rogimo of the
school room.
Have you forgotten how a wrench
of tho heart oamo to you years ago
when tho Hohool bell rang aud you
must go away from the hluo sky aud
tho trees aud gia-ig to sit upright at a
dosk and ooinposo your face into flxed
noss over a book ?
Everything was now
Tho school house walls had been
cleaned and theio was a new black
board. But most of all—tho new
teacher! Slio might be one of tho.-e
rare maiden souls who could smile
herself straight into your heart at the
first meeting. But usually the new
teacher was an enigma. How you
studied tho face, noting every shade
of expression from frowu to smile.
Authority sat ou that face. Would the
authority bo tempered with justice
aud kindness?
Vou laugh at the memory now? It
was a very real anxiety when your
feet baroly touched tho school room
floor.
What a blank in your mind about
last year's lessons ! How tho sioken
ing souse of failuro tortured you when
the boy or girl next you made a suc
cessful recitation. Surely the new
teacher would put you down a dunce.
And how tired ono's back got in
those first days. You fretted like a
wild animal newly eagod, hut unable
to maiiifost your diro discomfort. You
simply couldn't study. Betimes your
head was muddled and tliore was a
blur of water in your eyes.
Poor little croaturo. Have you for
gotten yourself?
Don't Rcold the youngsters iu the
midst of their initiate. Let the boy
howl Homo. Ho is working his safety
valve. And if tho littlo maid is weary
and nervous, kiss and comfort her.
After a littlo while when the ohil
dron have settled into the routine,you
can tighten the reins somo, but don't
be hard on thom iu tho first few
weeks.
Light for Selinsgrove,
Aftor a prolonged agitation lasting

ordinance compels tho bogiuning of
work within thirty days and the com
pletion within six months. Mr. Pue
annouueed that work would begin at
once. Susquehanna university was
about to install its own plant, but
have now docided to tako light from
tho local company.

PRESENTED TO
FREE LIRRARY
A very Interesting souvenir relating
to Danville's past was presented to the

specimen of the printer's art and is in
an excellent state of preservation, is
enolosed in a handsome frame of large
size.

THE SOCCESSFOF
JODNTTFAIR
It is ((ratifying to know that there
has been a pronounced reform in the
so-oalled amusement fuatures of many
of the county fairs held in the state
this year. Such reform had beoome
necessary. Some of the features per
mittod in too many instances made at
tendance at the fairs almost impossi
ble to self-rospecting poople.
It is a reflection upon the intelli
gence and good sense of the farmers,
who are most interested in agricultur
al fairs and are the largest patrons of
them, to snpposu they must be amused
with fake shows and gambling and
shameless, immoral displays. It has
been a fatal mistake ou the part of
fair managers anywhere to admit them
and tho experience of the past few
years has shown that these things hate
done everything tb discredit fairs and
are more responsible for their failure
in many coouties than any other faot.
The moKt successful fairs held in
Pennsylvania, and those whloh have
kept up from year to year, are the
ones that have been clean and free
from fakes aud demoralizing shows.
Such things have no plaoe in an agri
cultural display. They are an offense
to the decency of any community. The
farmer Is not likely to take his family
to an exhibiition where they have been
made more conspiouous—as in so many
instances they have been— than the
prodncts of the farm. It is to the oredit
of public morals that this feeling is so
strong that fairs demoralized in thil
way have been unprofitable, and in
some counties have boon abandoned.
The county fair properly condnoted
servos a most usotnl purpose. The
farmor attends it with the members of
liis family to learn who of his neigh
bora has produced more or better re
salts than lie, to see the latest and
best in farm implements, and for an
intelligent and generally profitable In
terchange of experience. He oan be
useful to his neighbor in this, and his
neighbor is usofal to him. There is
something stimulating in it. It real
izes the usefulness of the exhibit, and
all go back to their work with uew
ideas aud uew ambitious whioli are
likely to produce still better results at
the next fair.
The agricultural fair is too iniport
aut au event iu the farmers' work to
bo demoralized and destroyed by fake
shows and gambling trioks. The move
ment for the suppression of these feat
ures deserves the oordial support of
every respooting commanity.—Phila
delphia Press.
Columbia County Veteran Association.
A good many of the old soldiers of
Montour county attended the ninth
annual meeting of tho Columbia Coun
ty Veteran Association held at Jersey
town on Saturday.
The day was a memorable one in
the quiet country town. The street*
were gaily decorated with flags and
arches and were thronged all day with
"Boys in Blno," along with the griz
zled old soldiers being a heavy sprinkl
ing of spick and span Sons of Veter
ans.. Altogether there were some six
hundred present.
The line of inarch was as follows:
Forming at the square and led by the
Backhorn band, they marched to the
old church,thenco back aud out to the
station ; countermarching aud return
ing to the end of the town to the Mill
villo road, aud breakiug ranks at the
sqnare.
A bounteous repast was partaken of
in tlio basement of the M. E. church,
after the parade.
The following ofTioors were eloctod
for the onsning year:
Prosidont— Maj.'l. H. Seesholtz.
Secretary—Geo. W. Reifsnyder.
Treasurer—Geo. Watters.
The next annual ireetiug will be
held at Catawissa.
River Goal Operations.
Last year large quantities of coal
that had been washed down from tiie
mines was taken from the bed of tbe
river at ditferent poiuts, at Danville
and Sunbnry, and now similar opera
tions are in force in Columbia coun
ty near Bloomsburg. Isaao Gross
of Sunbury, and Bert Kressler, of
Bloomsbarg aro at work in the river
at Almedia about 100 yards from the
shore aud the results are exceeding
their expectations as tliev are gath
ering fourteen tons ot coal eaoli flay,
whicii is sold as fa9t as they can get it
at $1.25 per ton.
Those who have used it say that it
burns all right, and as it costs less
than one-third as much as the ordin
ary coal they have no diffloulty in
selling it at. fast as they can get it out
of the river.

any idea of the English language nor

they be very quiok to learn owing to
their olanniah habits, whioli keeps
them out of touch with our native
popnlatlon.
