War's Fearful Cost.
Since the beginning of the War, and
np to the 12th of this month, the War
Department of the Russian government
had dispatched 761,4«7 men, 13,087 of
ficers. 146,408 horses, 1.521 field gnns,
and 116,821 tons of amunition and food
to Manchuria; which with the Karri son
of Port Arthur made an army of over
800,000 men,fully equipped and supplied.
Now Russia's whole effective force
there is believed to be less than 800,000.
Half a million Russians have been kill
ed, wounded, made prisoners or become
■iok in a war lasting a little over a year
—a terrible record.
On the water their entire Eastern
fleet, including some of the finest battle
•hips afloat, Has been destroyed, except
ing two Cruisers in the harbor of Vladi-1
vostock, and a few battle ships and
torpedo boats, which ran into neutTal
harbor? and were dismantled. The
Baltic fleet is somewhere on the Indian
ocem:and the last heard of the Jap
fleet, it was In the straits of Malacca—a
part of the usual water route between
the West and the East—though the
Russians may perfer going via the
■trait of Sunda, or they might reach
Yladivoatock by circling around
Australia.
On Thursday last the Russian govern
ment ordered Gen. Linevitch to make a
stand on the Snngari river at all
the line to extend from the
railroad crossing to the mountains west
of Kirin, a distance of about fifty miles;
and about a hundred miles south of
Harbin, Reinforcements at the rate of
• regiment a day were arriving at Har
bin. The Jap. column was continuing
its advance on the road to the west of
the railroad, and they were said to be
filling np their ranks with Mongols and
Lamas, and receiving reinforcements
from Japan. Another Jap column was
* headed for Kirin, and are due" there
April 10th.
The country to the north of the posi
tion designated by the Russian govern
ment is, a level plain, on which the
Russians would have no advantage; and
if they cannot make a successful stand
there. Harbin and Vladivoetock, and
practically all of Manchuria will be in
the possession of the Japanese.
On Monday the Japs seemed to have
relaxed their pursuit, and Gen. Line
vitch's scouts reported no Japs within
thirty miles, but the Russians were
fearing a wide turning movement, and
were wondering what had become of
Kawamura's army.
Yesterday it was reported that the
Russian government had asked Minis
ter Delcasse of France to secure terms
of peace from Japan.
Richard H. Little of the Chicago
Daily News, Francis McCullagh of the
New York Herald, M. Nadeau of the
Journal de Paris, and Baron Kriegiatein
of the Berlin Kokal Anzeiger arrived at
Kobe, Japan, as prisoners of war on
the Awa Maru, last Friday, having been
captured by the Japs at Mukden. They
say the battle of Mukden was a splendid
affair on the Russian side, as well as on
the Japanese. Several villages were
taken and retaken four times.
The newspaper men were surprised to
learn the Russians had not asked for an
armistice or made peace proposals. They
aay Russia's poeition in the neld is hope
less; that Kuropatkin lost all bis heavy
gnns and the railway line.
This morning dispatches indicate that
both armies in the far East are prepar
ing for another battle. It is reported
from St. Petersburg that the Czar at
tempted suicide.
HAREISBURG.
Gov. P. vetoed the bill creating two
new courts for Allegheny Co., and re
fuses to sign a Greater Pittsburg bill
with a lipper clause in it.
The bills taxing oil and coal will
probably die in Committee.
Washington X otes.
President Roosevelt has announced
that the present status quo will be
maintained in San Domingo, pending
the final disposition of the treaty.
Pressure by foreign creditors and the
inauguration of a revolution caused
President Morales to plead for the in
stallation of an American agent to col
lect the revenues of the country and
disburse them. Minister Dawson noti
fied the state department of the urgetcy
of the case and the president directed
acceptance to the Dominican proposal,
which involves a virtual protectorate
over the Morales government for the
present This is aimplv meeting the
obligation of this government to its
own citizens and to its weak neighbors.
First of all, it is in maintenance of the
Monroe doctrine, and second, it is an
acceptance of the only course that will
sustain that American policy without
risking a collision at arms with one or
«Wre of the powers of Europe.
ACCIDENTS.
Fred Kummer's horse became fright- I
ened. Monday morning and ran the bug
gy against a telegraph pole, throwing
Fred ont and bruising him.
Conductor Haws and Flagman Wag- j
ner were injured at Branchton, last
Saturday, by the collision of parta of a
parted freight train and both were tak
en to the Mercer Hospital. Mr Wag
ner is a son of W. S. Wagner of Elm St.
Butler.
An Italian named Manzino was kil
led by a flying rock which struck him
on the side, while blasting at the stone
quarry at W. Winfield; last Friday
night.
Emma Lenzi and Romulo Mazzona. 9
and 10 years old respectively, Italian
children, wandered into the woods near
Freeport, Monday, and ate roots that
they supposed were sweet myrrh. In a
short time they became very sick
The girl died before a physician could
be summoned. The little boy's life was
saved by the use of a stomach pump.
It is supposed the children ate wild
parsnip, which resembles the sweet
myrrh and which is a deadly poison.
William Moon, aged 30 years, was
killed by a fall of rock in the Sheridan
mine in Clay twp., last Thursday. He
was "pulling stumps" at the time, and
his body was crushed to a jelly. He
was a son of George Moon, leaves a
wife and one child, and intended quit
ting work at the mine and going to Ell
wood, this week, where he was promis
ed a position on the police force
"Pulling stumps" is the miner's ex
pression for taking out the pillars of
coal that are left to support the roof.
It is a profitable but dangerous job for
the miner.
Mrs. W. F. Marshall of Fourth St.
fell Monday and broke her wrist.
Grange Meeting.
John R. McJunkin, Esq.. is the oldest
member of the order of P. of H. of
Forest Grange No 370 and by reason of
the infirmities of old age and a hnrt
that he received in an accident by being
thrown out of a buggy some years ago
has prevented him from attending the
meetings of the Grange. So the mem
bers decided to hold a surprise grange
meeting at his home, which they did on
Wednesday, March 22nd. the hour of
ten thirty was the time arranged for
the meeting and at that time the people
commenced to arrive until his large and
commodious house was filled with
grangers And while the members
were discussing various topics of farm
life and the prospects of the candidates
for the nomination of the different of
fices for the county the lady members
retired to the dining room and arranged
the table for dinner, having brought
well filled baskets with them, and in
due time dinner was announced, and
after a blessing was invoked, we pro
ceeded to appease our appetites with
the good things set before us. Dinner
being over an organization was effected
by electing R. C. Thompson, president,
and N. F. Bartley, secretary. The
meeting was commenced by singing,
"Blest be the tie that binds our
hearts in Christian love," after which
Harlan Book invoked the divine bless
ing. Addresses were delivered by N.
F. Bartley, W. J. Stoner, Harlan Book,
J. R. Mclunkin, R. C. Thompson, Mrs.
E. Z. Bartley and Miss Eva McJunkin.
Mr. McJunkin thanked the people for
their presence and gave them a press
ing invitation to come again. After
singing, "God be with us till we meet
again", we bid Mr. McJunkin and
daughter Eva good bye, feeling that the
day had been well spent.

"Teacher's Professions."
Prof. T. M. Wright of Evans City

R. S. Penfield of Chicora told us how
to use our moral forces which was very
instructive to the pupils.
Rev. Hugh Leith of Zelienople i la
pressed on the minds of all the "'True
Aim of Teaching."
A good talk on accuracy was made by
Mr. Cashdollar of Callery. showing very
plainly that for one to obtain a good
education he must be accurate.
With all these good instructors we
had with us County Supt. Painter, who
gave an interesting talk concerning the
"Township High School."
We also had some good singing by a
few young psople of the town.
At 10:00 P- M. the crowds retired

Oil and Gas Notes.
—The Market—Both agencies made
a cnt of 3 cents, Saturday morning,
making the price SI.BO.
Clinton twp—The Butler Plate's gas
ser on the Samuel Love came in good,
Monday. About 100 pounds from the
100 foot.
Wonderful Kansas—P. C. Boyle of the
Derrick is quoted as saying "The world
has never seen anything to compare
with the development in the fields of
Kansas and the Indian Territory."
"Not alone has it opened a new era in
the business, but the discoveries there
and farther south have demonstrated
the possibility of finding oil almost any
where between Nedosba. Kan,, and the
tiulf of Mexico. Ido not say that oil
can be found anywhere, but there is rea
son to suspect that the whole of that
vast territory lies in the 'pan' and may
be washed out."
Prospect—Tne well on the Webber
farm had a showing of oil, and there is
talk of drilling on the Lyman Kennedy.
Oakland—The Oakland Oil Co. drill
ed in its No. 2on the H. W Wick farm
Monday night, and have a4O bbl. well
with no saltwater.
W. H. MOORE, president of the Na
tional good Roads association, con
structed an oil road near Keokuk, la., a
few years ago, and declares it almost,if
not quite.as satisfactory as a macadam
ized roadway, though it costs not
more than half as much, using oil at a
higher price than that at which it can
now be obtained in Kansas. Mr. Moore
describes the process as building np
a round-top earth road, which is rolled
firmly, harrowed on the surface sprinkl
ed with 250 barrels of oil to the mile and
rolled again. This should not be used
for two or three days after the last roll
ing. The road will then "shed water
like a duck's back," Mr. Moore says,
and becomes almost as hard, smooth
and durable as an asphalt pavement.
He thinks the lime in Kansas soil will
make more than ordinarily good oil
roads.
CIIUItCII NOTES.
