The curtain has again fallen behind the columns of the Japanese armies ad vancing northward in Manchuria, but it *""* become known that the Russians are not disputing the passage of the monntain passes by the Japanese, and : it is thought that their next stand will be at the railroad town of Liao \ ang t thongh they may fall back to Mukden, i fifty miles further north. The perfect confidence of the Japs is shown by their deliberation, attention to every detail of warfare and, also by their distribution of seed corn to the native fanners; and, on the otherhand, the desperation of the Russians is shown by the destruction of the docks, piers and warehouses of Dalny. Military experts are now predicting the complete defeat of the Russians in eastern Asia, and all can surmise as to the probable effect of this on both the Chinese and Russian empires. The English expedition into Tibet was, at last accounts, liable to come to grief, as CoL Younghusband and his command were besieged at a place call ed GyangTse. Reinforcements were being hurried forward from India, but there were doubts as to their arriving in time. The fighting going on between Bra zilian and Peruvian forces in the Purus region is a contest over the possession of rubber territory. The Purus river is a tributary of the Amazon, flowing towards it from the southwest. The region is the most western portion of Brazil and the boundary lines have never been settled. Bolivia; Peru, Ecuador and Colombia have conflicting claims Mto jurisdiction, all of which •have some basis in the Spanish provin cial decrees which underly the territo rial rights ef the present South Ameri can states The Spanish allotments of territory to the various provinces over lapped in a way that has left abundant material for disputes. The present con flict is due to the fact that Peru has so exhausted her own rubber forests that she has been pushing out into new ter ritory and has thus entered the Purus district which is claimed by Brazil. During the past week news arrived that a Brazilian force which had gone into the country to expel the Peruvians, had been defeated and compelled to retire. At present Peru holds the country, but Brazil is making active military prepar ations and unless the matter is submit ted to arbitration war will ensue. The supply of wheat in this country at present is unprecedently low owing to the demands of other countries. Winter wheat will be a small crop, and the loss will be made up in corn, tbe acerage ot which planted this year will probably be the greatest in the history of the country. .. fc Ail increased amount of oar manu factured goods is also going to foreign countries. Commercial affairs showed bnt little change, excepting in a further N decline in steel stocks. There are plenty of people in this oonntry who bonght the stock of the great steel company at high prices, the preferred at nearly par and the com mon above 50 and up to 55. The pre ferred is now worth little more than 50 and the common is worth a little more that one-seventh of the top figure. The total reduction in tfaf jnarket price of the two classes has amounted to about $470,000,000, or more than one-half the funded debt of the nation. •The Japanese war-loan was subscrib ed for five times over in this country, and the forty millions paid to France by this country for the canal was loan ed to Russia. THE biggest curving knife factured may be seen at tbe Worlds Fair. This monster blade is 30 feet in length and has an edge as sharp as a ra zor. It is made out of the finest steel, and the handle is a masterpiece of the cutler's art, elaborately carved and beautifully polished. It would take a veritable giant to wield a knife like this. The blade is altogether of Amer ican manufacture, and it is expected t« show for the first time that American cutlery has now reached a point of per fection where it fears no-riyalry. The giant carving knife cost several tbou _ sand dollars, and special machinery had to be made before its construction could begin. No such knife was ever before manufactured. POLITICAL. Maybe the campaign slogan will be— "Vote for Roosevelt and Hitt—the trusts." 7 AIL the details of the Republican National Convention, which will meet in Chicago on Jnne 21, have now been arranged but the selection of the can didate for yice president. The unanimi ty of party sentiment in favor of Presi dent Rooeevelt provides an assured basis upon which to settle convention pro ceedings. Former Secretary of War Elihu Root will be temporary chairman and Speaker Cannon will be permanent chairman. Mr. Roosevelt's name will be presented by* ex-Governor Frank Black of New York, and will be second ed on behalf of the Republicans of the South by Postmaster Henry S. Edwards of Macon, Ga. Before the convention meets the situation in regard to the yice preaidency will probably be cleared up. So long ago as last fall the opinion was held by the late Senator Hanna and other party leaders, with the concur rence of President Roosevelt, that Senator Fairbanks of Indiana was the most available candidate for vice presi dent, but there has not been such con centration of sentiment in his favor or such hearty acceptance of the sugges tion by himself as to determine party action. A boom was launched in favor of Speaker Cannon, who do<>B not want the place, and makes his sentiments to that effect perfectly plain. Recently there has been a movement in favor of the nomination of Representative Hitt, and the action of the Illinois state con vention in formally presenting his can didacy goes a longways towards settling the matter. Mr. Hitt has long repre santed the Ninth district of and previously had a distinguished career in the diplomatic, service. He was secre tary of legation at Paris from 1874 to 1881, when he became assistant secre tary of state, but resigned the office in •bout a year to enter congress, where be has rendered distinguished service. • WAIt NOTES. Last week the Russians began their work of destruction on the Liaotnng peninsula, by blowing np the docks at Port Dalny. a harbor and city on the east coast about 30 miles from Port Ar thur, to prevent their falling into the hands of the Japanese. Port Dalny was intended by Russia to be the chief commercial emporium of its Eastern dominions. An edict pro viding for its construction was issued by the Russian Emperor July 30, 18S>!>, and Port Dalny, fully equipped with all modern improvements, docks, ware houses and railroad facilities, was op ened to commerce in December, 1901. Talienwan bay is one of the finest deep water harbors on the Pacific. It is free from ice in winter time and ships draw ing 30 feet of water can enter at low tide without difficulty, and without the aid of pilots can sail or steam alongside the immense docks and pier?, where their cargoes can be loaded into railroad cars and run direct for 6000 into tbe city of St. Petersburg. Five large piers had been constructed, each supplied with- numerous railroad tracks and immense warehouses and elevators, gas., electric lights and water, and a large breakjvater was being con constructed so that ships could lie at the piers and load and unload regard less of the weather. Docks for foreign vessels, steam and sail, extended be tween the piers and along the shore for two miles. There were two first-class drydocks, one intended for ordinary ocean steamers and the other degigned to accommodate the largest vessels of war or commerce. Oyer $6,000,000 had been expended on the harbor system before the end of 1902 and it was estimated that-ihe cost of completing the work would be nearly $20,000,000, but this does not in anyway represent the total cost of the precticn of this commercial port, which with Pott Arthur, was leased by the Chinese gov ernment to Russia in 1898. Nearly 25,- 000 men were employed daily on the work of constructing the port and the town The total population has been estimated at 60,000, mostly Chinese, Japanese, Koreans and Russian?. During the latter .part of the week the Jap army on the peninsula was erecting fortifications, mounting siege guns, and gradually closing in on Port Arthur. Reports of a great battle raging near Liao Yang were cabled from Chefoo, a Chinese port opposite Port Arthur, Tuesday. The cablegram stated that the armies of Gens. Kuroki and Oku had united and came with the Rus sians. The Third Jap army was report ed near Kirin. The Japs said there would be a com bined land and sea attack on Port Ar thur in a few days Yesterday the Japanese columns were reported advancing on Hai Cheng, a railroad town about twenty miles south of Liao Yang and also on Hai Yang and Yin Kow. The roads are deep and muddy and their artillery was keeping them back. Besides this they were dis embarking at or near the Port of Neu Chang, on the west coast, which the Russians abandoned. The Russians were entrenching them selves at Liao Yang and a great battle is expected there. Tue Jap army at New Chang threatens the Russians' right flank, and another Jap army is said to be on their left flank. A Poem in Cream and Green. Ttie buildiuga of the Pur chase exposition are painted deep cream and give to the fair the name of "The Ivory City." These splendid palaces have roofs of violet, old rose, sea green, copper bronze, delicate pink, and tur quoise blue. As a setting for these buildings, there are mile sweeps of deep green lawn, with shrubs and flowers. Every structure seems to have been built exactly for"the environment it elevates, and simultaneously the grounds appear to spring into being to create an harmon ious setting for this fairest of architec ture. The gr&cas in detail, the sculp ture, the fountains, tho cascades, the whole completed fair Js a living poem such as poets may have seen in inspira tion, but the "doers of things" have wrought into actual fact. The fair is too big—that is its worst criticism. People who come for 10 days or 10 weeks can't begin to see it all, and they will go home dissatisfied. The Pan-Atnericaif was such a cosy little fair that on© could see it u.'l and talk it over with his friends pciut by point afterwards. But the man who en deavors to see everything at St. LouV will be like a spectator trying to watch a circus with a hundred rings in fnll swing at the same -time—he will see nothing. The universal exposition is one of specialties. Each department is so complete that one could spend a week profitably in every building. It is more distracting than a trip around the world, for it may be traveled in such brief time. In the City of States back of the cascade on the hill, one may visit even state and territory in-the Union. Few experienced travelers have ever passed through every state and territory in America, but in minatnre one may here catch some of the unique features and the scenery and industries of eaeh separata commonwealth. Stop for a moment in the Idaho building. Fine transparent pictures adorn the windows and show wonderful lakes rivaling Kil larney in shimmering beauty : they show also mountains of gold ore, and the life of the prosperous farmers. . The rich ! new state of Idaho epitomizes in its costly bungalow the marvelous re sources of that country. It is second to a trip through the state. The Pennsyl vania building in its hillside environ ment has about it all the wild flowers found in th 9 Alleghenies; it is a glimpse of "home" to wander through its wild garden. Inside, the building will have the Old Liberty bell, and no common wealth has anything better worth com ing to the City of State:; to see. A visit to the community of States re veals the uniqueness of each, and names that before meant merely pink or blue spots on a map now spell wonder ful western regions, as well as the beauty of the east. A visit to Uncle Sam's possessions is A story in itself, and it requires a week to get any kind of a comprehensive idea of the Philip pines.—Martha Root in Sunday Gazette. Concord Township. We expect a passenger service on the new railway the last of this month. Rev. Sloan of Hooker left on Monday for Buffalo, N. Y., to atk-nd the Pres byterian General Assembly in session there.

Whether or no there shall be a jury ! trial in the matter of the will of the , | late Daniel "Waller, was the question ; argued before Judge Wilson of Clarion I county, in our Court room, beginning j I Tuesday morning, and continuing, ' yesterday. . j In stating the case Mr. Brandon said: | "In April. 1902, Daniel Wnller became j violently insane and an inqnest being j appointed in his case his condition was , set forth and he was committeed to the Warren asylum for treatment. Iu De- j cember of that year, his condition hav- J ing improved somewhat, he was re- j leased from the asylum and given in i cliartre of his son. who had been appoint- ! ed committee in charge of his person and property by the Court. An attend ant from the hospital came to Butler with Mr. Wuller at that time. "His mother, brother and sisters took charge of Mr. Wnller and refused to Jet him have intercourse with his son and committee and refused to let the attendant remain with him. They kept him at home and did not allow him to go to his store, then in charge of his son. Though his leave of absence was only for 30 day?, yet he never returned to the hospital. ' In March, 1903, there was a trial to test his snnity, in which his son as committee, necessarily appeared as de fendant. At that trial it was shown that he was in an advanced stage of paresis, the controversy before the jury being mainlv between the doctors and specialists who told of the nature of his disease, from which it was held he was ! suffering at that time, and the testi mony of his townspeople, who seeing i him from day to day, testified that he was apparently sane, he at that time being at his best, enjoying as he wa| a lucid interval. . "The verdict of the jury, that Daniel Wu ler was a sane man, we hold was not borne out by facts in the case, as all that was said by the medical men regarding the nature of his disease has since been borne out by the fact?. In that case his son did not appear on the stand against lii 3 father and the verdict was largely gained on the ground that Wnller had been a dissipated man and that at that time he had so far recovered as to be able to manage his own prop erty. "Two weeks later he was given charge of his business, but his brother was at his right hand and he never fully took charge himself. In a short time he became violent again and he was removed by his brother and his at torneys to a sanitarium in Ohio where he died in July of that year of paresis, a disease he had all the time. Imme diatly after tbe verdict lie wa? induced to make a will disinheriting his child ren and giving the property to his moth er, brothers and sisters, who until the time he became insane he had never counseled with at all. His property at that time included a drug store valued at *o,ooo, business property on Main street $-13,000, homestead SIO,OOO, stocK in boihr works at Marietta to the amount of $30,000. and other property amounting in all to the value of $85,00!) "The will was written by a counsel lor particular bitter against his chil dren, was witnessed by his sister and the counsellor and was written at the home of his mother; it was kept by them and offered for record after his death. - , ,1 t "Our charge is Daniel W nller sut fered from insanity at the time the will Was written, though he was enjoyiug a remission, and that it was obtained by undue influence of those interested as benefactors.

Dr. August Greth's arirship made a fairly successful trip on May 3, near San Francisco. | The breaking i f a email valve pre vented Dr. August (jreth s'liling froin Kan Francisco to San Jose, a diatunco of fifty-two miles. As it was lie crossed the San Mateo county lice, 8 miles south of San and anchored on a hill, ready-to renew the attempt, lie went up at 8.30 A. M., accompanied by an engineer. Dr. Greth made a circular turn abont a quarter of a mile iu circumference. Everything went well until the airship arrived over the Five Mile House, on the San Bruno Road. The inventor and the engineer were seen trying to adjust the machinery, and then.".after a pause the fans were otarted going and the ship began to descend. To all apearances the fans were able to control the ship, though it Wss con ceded that they were not quite large and powerful enough to meet the resist ance of strong winds. The airship cn».;e down gradually and touched the ground gently, allowing the men in the car to fetep out. Nothing was injured either in the car t,r ai.oijf the great gas bag.—Sui. Am.

He was a native of England, coming to this country in 1857 and lo cating at Cleveland, where he became impressed with the possibilities of the oil business. In 1862 he persuaded John D. Rockefeller to invest in the busines with him and subsequently the firm of Clark oi Rockefeller invested more heavily in the same way. From this nucleus grew the Standard Oil Compa ny. Andrews was concerned chiefly with the mechanical and technical meihod-j of tlie business, leaving its diplomatic and manipulative features to his assoicates. What Shall We Have for Dessert?

Direct or of Exhibits, Worlil'i Fair. "The wisdom of all ages Is none too great for the world's work." In this single salient sentence, uttered in his famous address at Buffalo In Septem ber, IDOI. President McKinley de scribed the object and the result of expositions. A modern universal exposition is a collection of tho wisdom and achieve ments of the world, for the inspection of the world, for the study of its ex perts, by which they may make com parisons and deduction and develop plans for future improvements and progress. Such a universal exposition might well be called an encyclopedia of society. It constitutes a classified, compact, indexed compendium of the achievements and ideas of society in all phases of its activity, extending to the most material as well as the most refined. It offers illustrations cover ing the full field of social performance, from the production of the shoes on our feet and the pavement beneath them to a presentation of the rarest and most delicate creations of the brains and hands of men in what are called the fine arts of civilization. The Universal Exposition in St. Lou is In 1904 will be such a social ency clopedia In the most comprehensive aud accurate sense. It will give to the ■world in revised and complete details "a living picture of the artistic and in ■ dustrial development at which man kind has arrived" and will actually provide "a new starting point from which all men may direct future exer tions." It will present for the inspec tion of specialists in all lines of indus trial and social endeavor and for the public an assembly of the best which the world has done and has to show In industry, art and science, and, what is very important, it will offer these achievements of society, these trophies of civilization, in a highly selected, ac curately classified array. The creators of the St. Louis Exposi tion have had the experience of all previous grreat expositions by which to plan and effect its high organization. The continuous and repeated burden of the message of experience handed down l>y all expositions has been more perfect, more effective classification and arrangement of exhibits. The classification' of the St. Louis Exposition lias been prepared to pre sent a sequential synopsis of the de velopments that have marked man's progress. On its bases will be as sembled the most highly organized ex position the world lias yet seen. The St. Louis classification is divided into 10 departments, 144 groups and SO" classes. These grand departments in their order will record what man has accomplished at this time with his faculties, industry and skill and the natural resources at his command in the environment in which he has been placed. At the head of the Exposition clas sification has be;;n placed Education, through which man enters social life. Second comes Art, showing the condi tion of his culture and development. Liberal Arts and Applied Sciences are placed third, to Indicate the result of his education and culture, illustrate his tastes and demonstrate his inventive genius, scientific attainment and artis tic expression. These three depart ments equip liim for the battle and prepare liim for the enjoyments of life. The raw material departments, Agt'i- estry, show how man conserves the forces of nature to his uses. The De partment of Manufactures will show what lie has done with them; the De partment of Machinery the tools he has used. The Department of Trans portation will show bow he overcomes distances and secures access to all parts of the world. The Department of Electricity will indicate tlie great forces ho lias discovered and utilized to conv n y power and intelligence. And so through the several departments to Anthropology, in which man studies man; and to Social Economy, which will illustrate the development of the human race, how it has overcome tlie difficulties of civilization and solved problems in which society is involved. Last is placed physical culture, in which man, his intelligence having readied the supreme point, is able to treat himself as an animal, realizing that his intellectual ancl moral consti tutions require a. sound physical body to prompt tlfeni to the proper perform ance of their function. Education is the keynote of the Uni versal Exposition of 1904. Eacli de partment of the world's labor and de velopment lie represented at St. Louis, classified and Installed in such manner that all engaged or interested in such branch of -activity may come and see, examine, study and go away advised. Each of the separate sections of the Exposition will be an equivalent of —01% rather, will be in actuality a comprehensive and most effective ob ject lesson in—the line of industrial and social achievement and progress which its presents. Cost of Seeing the World's Fair. From any point within 8.00 nifles el St. Louis a person may travel to the World's Fair this year, view the won ders of the Exposition for three days and expend the same money he would pay in any other year_for train fare alone. This is an absolute fact. The Western Passenger Association has agreed on a ten day excursion pate, 250 miles or more from St. Louis, for one and ou-»fifth fare for the round trip.
