Not Blnoe the war opened has it
been so'diffioult to give our road
rtf any corMot idea of the altua
tion. rZrrmm I
K Rumors of all kinds are cabled
fr6hh tho seat of war but no niiSh
at this distance can sift the ohaff
Lfrbm the wheat. t
Upon the whole the Russians
areinSnuoh better spirits than
they wore! a week ago and their
armies are 'ortainly much more
active. p:
Every.daijy paper is giving
the) plans of the. two opposing
armies but it is all pure guess-
Work. Tie center of interest is Port-
Arthur where the Russians are
strongly' entrenched with 3ClO0O
frien' plenty of fc big guns- ahda-
riumber of-warships. It is also
repbrted that tte -Tapahave an
army of 60000 men camped about
the port and that they intqnd tD1
capture it whatever costT A. great
battle is looked for at that place
at any time.
.. The. Russians are cbncei iat-
Ing their foroes in.Manchuria and
will probably resist any further
encroachments of the Japs upon
.that territory In the'meafitime
the Tsar is sending r3-OoO men a
day to Ihe front from Russia in
Europe and this is to be Ji'opt up
for some months.
The most serious news of the
WrAali- in i-U rinUn.- nf tl.A TXof
sinns in sowing floating mines
in neutral waters using this des-
perate measure at the risk of
sending merchantmen arid neu-
tral ships -to destruction. It is
rumored.'thafr other nations will-
resent this' and the suggestion ia
made that this may bring about
means of ending the ar. One
Japa'hese battleship has thus
been destroyed with 700 men.
News and Comment .
A noted outlaw Raisuli car-
ried off an American arid British
subjeot from near'Tangie'r Mor-
rocco to hold them for heavy
ransoms. America is 'tired of
paying ransoms to outlaws in the
Sultan's dominions and has sent
thej3ruiser Brooklyn to baok up
the American Consul in a
demand that the Sultan
pay the ransom. England
joins in the demand. We hope
that the Turkish ruler' may be
made to come through as his
government is very apathetic in
trying to prevent such outrages.
Dollar railroad excursions on
Sunday between north and cen-
tral Texas towns dre nuisances.
On Sunday fully 000 nee-roes
came- into FofV vWt)rth on suoh
trains. There has been talk of
asking the railroads to discontin-
ue them.

smau viuage as ono may roaciuy
guess from tho 'repdrfc of. the
soliool board upon feaohers for
next year Thore were sovonty-
bnei regular teachers one substii
tute and two cadets employed
lastydar and several new toaoh-
ers had to be employed fop. .the
coming year eight being named
in tho board's report or more
than eighty in all;.
The salaries of tea&her.s out-
aid .df the .: superintendent
-amounted 'to $65439.60-a protty
igpod pay roll itself. The supor-
irttSftdeiit formerly received $8-
600 a year but we .do not know
what he gets now.
Teaohers' salaries ranged from
$00 to Si55 a month last year.and
theyarq slightly-higher for tho
cdming year.

JmE. Henderson son ofvF. E.
Henderson of Lawn won much
applause and many compliments
by the delivery of an oration- ixt
the. commencement exeroises of
PolyTe'oiinio Colieg.e .at' Port
Worth on Monday night. The
subject was '"The Empire 'State
of tho Future" and it was hand-
led in a mariner to make every
Texan proud of his state. The
real estate men of the Fort say
that it would be worth much to
Texas to have ihis oration pub-
lished and distributed ihthe old-
er states. We congratulate tho
young geritl&riian Upon the flat-
tering reception of his oration
and Taylor bounty upon being
able to claim its author as one of
liSf own boys. ' -

Do yourkhbw that riihe-Jteriths
of the ills of the human body
originate in the -st6hfaph from
fmpropor-food?.-TDo ypu.kno
that the use of PURETTA in
place of all lard and other ani-
mal fats will relieve these ills?
Try it for one month. Discard
entirely the "use of lard com-
polinds oottolirie and other ani-
mafyfats whioh are all bound to
be more or less diseased. If you
don't believe it only visit a pack-
ing house and see what' goes into

The revival meeting at the
Methodist church drew another
great crowd last night. There
was one ooriverson and several
penitents. The preacher declared
that he had as much faith in God
as he had the day he landed in
Abilene if not more and that he
was not discouraged. Again
good reports came up from " tho
cottage prayer meetings. These
beautiful qnd pleasant moonlight
nights should be an invitation to
all to come out to these meetings
Recollect the song service at
8il5 S.
