THE GLORIOL'S FOURTn.
The gTe&t parade arranged for next j
Monday morning, and the firs works se-
enred for that night attest our never
failing interest in the Fourth, and the (
jubilant patriotism of this community. f
Next Monday will be the 128 th anni- f
versa ry of the Declaration of Indepen- (
dence, made by the colonial delegates (
assembled in the old hall in Philadel-
phia, July 4th, 1776, announcing to the
world that the English colonies ranging (
along the coast of the Atlantic had sev- }
ered their relations with the mother ,
country. 1
A long war followed, and it was not j
until several years after that England (
acknowledged that independence, and ]
it was several years after that before a ,
Constitution was adopted and the first ,
President elected, but the Fourth of ,
July of 1776 was adopted as being the j
birthday of the Nation, and as such has
been celebrated ever since, and always j
will be as long as the Nation holds to- (
gether— let us hope forever. I
Since that time the Nation has ac- j
qnired by conquest and purchase the
great breadth of conntry extending to ,
the Pacific, and has multiplied in nurn- j
bers and increased in wealth faster than
any other of the present nations of the
Earth, or any recorded in history. Part (
of this is due to the industry and intel- (
ligence of the Nation, part to the vari- |
ed resources of this great country, and (
part to our system of self government. ,
The signers of the Declaration pledg- .
ed their lives, their fortunes and their ,
■acred honor to the founding of a Na
tion based on liberty secured by law,
and he must indeed be a thoughtless
American who does not welcome each
recurring Fourth with patriotic joy and
pride. It is a notable day in the annals
of the world—the day that marks the
birth of tbe greatest repnblic our planet
has ever known. The beginning of any
considerable nation is of interest and
importance to the world; bnt the birth
of a repnblic that in little more than a
century has grown from feebleness and
poverty to unexampled wealth and pros
perity is an event of most momentous
import to men of every clime and
tongue and of every condition of life, for
in one way or another it touches and
influences tbe minds of all civilized
. i men.
' Bnt wealth and abounding prosperity
are not the only guarantees of national
growth and endurance. The real foun
dations of national greatness are laid in
wise political principles, in just and
equal laws and in the substantial and
"homely virtues of tbe people them
•elves. Good character is the basis of
all solid and enduring national prosper
ity, aa it is of individual. "Righteous
ness exalteth a nation" is a truth that
concerns statesmen and politicians (juite
as much aa professed moralists. It was
fortunate rot oar country that the
founders of the Republic were English
speaUng people; that they brought
with Them over tbe sea the common
law ot England and the inborn impulses
of freemen, and that they based tbe new
nation on the indestructible principles
of the political equality of all men and
rt < the right of self-government

Great Buttle Expected.
: <
For several days past a great battle
has been expected between the Jap. and
Unas, armies in Manchuria, near Hai
cheng, a railroad town, about 150 miles
north of Port Arthor.but the dispatches
of yesterday had the Russians retreat
ing northward towards Liao-Yang
another railroad town, about fifty miles
to the north of Haicheng, and their
base Of supplies.
Tbe country there consists of a series
of mountain ranges, parallel with tbe
railroad. Tbe Russian army is retreat
ing up tbe yaliey occupied by the 'rail
road. with one Jap. army following
them, and another in the valley to the
east trying to head tbem off, but with
in supporting distance of the first army
should the Russians decide to make a
stand.
The outposts of the two armies,
which number about 100,000 men each,
are continually coming in collision, and
news of the great battle, which will
probably decide tbe fate of Russia's
empire in Eastern Asia can be expected
anytime.
In tbe meantime a Jap. army has
Port Arthur invested on the land side,
while their fleet makes sure that none
of the Russian fleet there escapes and
joias the fleet at Vladivostock. The
Russian fleet tried to escape a few
Bights afeo, and met with losses which
hopelessly cripples it.
Chinese coolies who have managed to
make their escape from the port say
that things are going from bad to
Worse, civilians are being pressed into
military service, that the price of provis
ions is rising to a prohibitive figure,
that the supply of food is falling short
and that the prevailing sentiment is
one of great anxiety and dtpret>sion.
' As ths Russians were not prepared
for the conflict which they provoked in
any direction where tbe test has been
applied, it is highly improbable that
they were any better prepared at Port
Arthur than they were found to be else
where. j

WAR NOTES.
According to the cable dispatches the
people of Japan were in a "frenzy of
delight" last Saturday over Admiral
Togo's last victory. The Russian fleet
attempted to escape from Port Arthur
Thursday night, but were detected and
defeated, with the loss of auother of
their battle ships with several hundred
men while other vessels of their fleet
were disabled and driven back into the
port.
Togo was keeping his vessels out of
sight, and his torpedo boats notified
him by wireless telegraphy that <he
Russians were coming jast after sun
down. The Russian ships got under
way, under a forced draft and started
on a dash to the south. Togo s fleet
loomed up on the horizon, and cut off
the retreat of the Russian ships into
Port Arthur harbor and the battle was
on. It was almost dark when the first
shot was fired. Like the sun rising
suddenly out of the sea came the flash
of a 12-inch gun, the roar awakened the
echos for miles around. In a few min
utes the engagement general.
Dispatches from eye-witnesses of the
engagement say it was one of the most
magnificent spectacles of the war.
Taken by surprise it was some minutes
before the Russians got into action, and
then from both squadrons tongues of
flame belched, followed by deafening
reports which seemed to stir the ocean
to its depth. Both squadrons were in
motion, maneuvering cautionsly for ad
vantage, describing circles through the
lon it swell of tjie sea and ouring forth
torrents of fire at minute intervals As
night advanced search lights were call
ed into play and across the long spec
tral shaft of light which they threw at
intervals darted a hissing shell.
The torpedo boat practice of the Jap.
ansse is described as marvelous in its
ingenuity and daring.
The most thrilling gallantry was dis
played. The Russians fought with a
courage and desperation born of repeat
ed defeats, but their gun practice wag
bad, which accounts for the trifling
damage which the Japanese ships sus
tained during the engagement. Shells
from the Russian ships constantly
ploded in the air. or in the water, just
too short of the mark, or just beyond
the enemy's ships. Great geysers of
water spurted up with each of these
explosions and deep chasms were torn
in the sea. in one of which an escaping
torpedo boat was almost engulfed.
It was the torpedo boats of tbe Jap
anese fleet that inflicted the greatest
damage A torpedo struck the Peres
viet midway in the engagement and
five minutes later with a roar like the
exploding of a magazine she sank be
neath the waves. A well placed shell
struck the other battleship the name of
which has not yet been ascertained, and
put her out of coinmision. The cruiser
was hit by a torpedo and dissapeared to
ward Port Arthur, apparently in a
sinking condition. Meanwhile the
smaller guns on the Japanese ships were
playing havoc among the torpedo boats
of the enemy.
For more than five hours the battle
lasted. The moon rose over the scene of
the terrific struggfe, and shed a blurred
and reddening face amid the smoke and
flame of tbe conflict.
Slowly the Russians backed away
from tbe Japanese ships, describing
great loops to keep out of range, and
with difficulty making tbe entrant) to
Port Arthur. »

THE late Republican National Con
vention at Chicago was a young man's
convention; very few of the old timers
were there; and it may be said of
President Roosevelt's administration,
that it is a young man's administration.
The president is not yet 45, the chair
man of the National Committee is
younger, the two new Cabinet officers
are only barely past fifty, as is the can
didate for Vice President. The other
Secretaries are somewhat older in years
but young in enthusiasm.
A FEW days ago the sultan of Mo
rocco sent the bandit Itaisouli some
$30,000 in cash and a check for $50,000,
besides a lot of prisoners from tke ban
dit's tribe, whereupon he released Mr.
Perdicarb, who is a citizen of this
country, and also his step-son, Varley,
who is a citizen of England. The mon
ey is onderstood to have come from the
Sultan's own treasury, as a punishment
for not being able to govern his own
country.
The two men were captured at a
country house near Tangier, and were
well treated by the brigand while his
prisoners, but it is remarkable that the
European governments allow such work
all along the north coast of Africa, and
the shores of the Black Sea; and it is
but a few years since the overland trip
from Malaga to Granada iu Spain was
fraught with the same danger, and the
trip from Messina to Mt. Etna in Sicily
is yet said to be dangerous on account
of brigands.

Sudden Death of Jacob Boos.
Jacob Boos, the well known grocery
inin of S. Main St., Butler, met with a
sudden death nt the B & O. station,
last Tuesday morning. He and his
driver had gone to the station to secure
a sample from a car-load of oats, that
had been shipped to him. They drove
up to the CAT. which was standing on
the track, nearest the creek, and Mr.
Boos held the somewhat excitable horse,
while the driver went into the car.
Something scared the horse, and he
reared, turned, and ran throwing Mr.
Boo.i upon his back, and though eye
witnesses say that the horse s feet land
ed upon Liiu and the wheels of the
wagon ran over him no marks were
found upon hi* body.
He was lifted at once and carried to
the platform, but he died almost im
mediately, which caused the belief that
his death was due to the shock of the
occurrence, as his heart had been
troubling him for years.
He was born in Germany in 1835,
came to this country in 1*54: married a
dacghter of Jacob Walter, deed, and
was for a time a partner in the milling
firm of Walter <fc Eoos. He opened th«
grocery store on his present location in
1881, and has been in that business ever
since. He is survived by his "wife, nee
Barbara Walter, and five daughters
