Hallock arrived in what is now Sergeant Bluffs, foot sore and weary after a tramp from Council Bluffs. They each carried a gun and a knap sack. They stopped with Dr. J. D. M. Crockwell, who afterwards wuh others founded Dakota City, who kept the hotel there. Leonard Botes and T. Elwood Claik also lived there, their houses being the only ones in the place. The next day lie and Ilallock looked themselves up claims, and soon after Hallock again footed it to the U. 8. laud office in Council Bluffs to tuuke the proper filings. He was less foot jore than Woods, the latter stayed snd helped other settlers hew logs to put into new Looses. Hallock returned in due time, but they had already built some houses and they continued their preparations for settlement. Hallock and Woods pnrchnfed thcimelves a air of oxen and borrowed another yoke and wagon of some of tho other settlers, atd on June 16, 1855, Woods started about four oclock in the after noon for Council Bluff j with the two joke of oxen and wagon to purchase supplies. It proved a long and very tedious trip, and a part of his experi ence on that occasion we will r-lato. Tho flics were so bad that he had to travel nights and the mosquitoes were bad at night. About two o'clock the next morning it commenced to rain, and continued to do so for several hours, and Mr. Woods says he never before or since saw such a rain, lla kept moving so long as he could keep the trail, being aided by the flashes of lightning, but he finally had to give it up, and chained his oxen to a tree that a flash of lightning revealed right by them, and waited for daylight. It got so cold that he nearly perished, and when daylight did come ho was no sore and stiff he could hardly move for a time, and bbfore he was ablo to start a good Samaritan by nume of tStillwcll came to his relief, a settler living not very fur from there, who by some intuition, came u long and took care of him and his team, took them to his cabin, called up his wife who had not yet risen, and they put him into the warm bed just occupied bv Mrs. Stillwell, and the warmth of tho bd and the stimulants thev cava him brought hira around, so thai he was able to go on towards night. His boots were neurly worn out before he started, he bought a pair of moccusins from an Indian and borrowed a pair of oorderoy pants. Traveling through the high grass and mud used up his loots and the moccasins, and he had nothing to wear on his feet, so Mr. Stiilwell gavo him a shoe too small and it had to be cut open, and a boot so much too large that he had to fill in around his foot and Ug to keep it on at all, but he says he was never so proud of any foot wear he has ever worn as he was of that old shoe and boot, there being no opportunity to get anything of the kind until he could get to Council Bluffs, which he reach ed in due time. He could and did gtt everything in way of supplies he want ed except breadstuff, and the morniug he reached there the landlourd of his hotel told the boarders not to come back to dinner until they heard the dinner bell ring, as he did not know w hen or where he would be aid to get anything out of whicn to make! bread, but the stage from St. Joe brought some flour and they called dinner about 2 p. m. A teamster brought up some flour also later but Mr. Woods w as unable to procure any of it. He went to a baker and held out his baud ' with $200 in gold in it and told him to tako enough to pay for one sack of flour, but the baker told him that the whole of it would not be half enough X lour bad only besn f3 a Buck earlier in tho season, but the supply was ex austed. The baker learned where ho was from and said he had a little see ond grade flour that the rats had been in that he would let him have ten pounds of but no more for $1. Mr. woods thanked bin but did not take ' it and was obliged to leave the Bluffs without any flour. The people depend ed Men on getting their supplies by steamboat up thu Missouri river, ' but the river was so low that season that steamboats were unable to run for ume. Woods says it is a positive fact tbat i'eter barpy the Iudiun trader . was aide and did ford tho Missouri liver between lk-llvue, Nebraska, and St. Mary's, Iowa, a thing that could not have happened at any other time sicoe the nver has been known 'to tho white man. Woods and Ilullnck on their way up on this aids of Council Bluffs stopped with a man by the name of Butterfleld. a fallow "York state" man, between wbcin a strong friendship sprang up, because of their coming front the same Mate. He had a small mill, run by water when there wes water, and by boras' power at other times. Mr. Woods concluded to sea him. But terfleld had no flour but did have some corn and gave Woods the privilege of of grinding at night, so ha was able to get some meal for their present need and came on back. By the way this same But terfiold was the millwright who built the first saw mill in the ooonry on Omaha creek, near where old Omadi was afterwards located, for Woods and others. On his way back after crossing the Sioux river, he pass ed through a stretch of country of about eignteen miles, with not a human habitation, and in this stretch ho was attacked by wolves. He had nothing to defend himself with except a pitch fork, with this he was able to keep them off his wagon. They followed him for several miles. It was night and (put dark, so he could not tell how msuy there were, but thought from tha noise they made there must have been a great number. He finally got back to Sergeant Bluffs without furth er mishap, but the memory of the trip will stay with him. Shortly after that he came across the river and located in Dakota county.

SALVE .C.DeWlt!4Co..Chict II PROGRES I L I TIIK fogs of doubt find uncertainty hung ns heavily Inst week over the seat of war In the far East ns nt tiny time since the beginning of hostilities. No official news of land movements whs permitted by either Itussla or .Tiip:in to lenk out. while the operations on sea by the Japanese, with the exception of nu nccnslonnl ntlsek on Port Arthur, were carefully screened. As a result the war correspondents in the Knst are forced to send out uncertain minors, without having the time or op portunity of Investigating them, Hiid thus much that Is unreliable is finding Its way Into the history of the present struggle. Were nil the reports of Japanese successes true. Bussln would scarcely have a boat afloat In the Eust, outside the Vlndivostoek fleet, and that, too, according to early reports, wns blown up in the TsiiKsri straits. Some of the Russian vessels at Port Arthur must have been destroyed several times. Whatever may be the truth of these reports, it seems conclusively estab lished thnt Ih" Japanese failed to block the harbor nt Port Arthur, else the Husslan cruisers could not move so freely from the Inner Imsin to the road stead. Belntlve to the Immunity of the Japanese vessels under Husslan fire at Port Arthur, the reports do not by any means agree. Two separate reports enme from Chefoo tbat two Japanese warships, after the bombardment of lust week Thursday, were towed In a disabled condition to Susebo for re pairs, mid a paper published at Tien-Tsin states that the battleship Yashlma and the cruisers Afiuuii and Toklwn were damaned nnd that two torpedo boats were destroyed. According to n Chefoo dispatch the Utissiiins discov ered a sunken Janauese torpedo boat In the outer hurbor. Later the Jap anese bombarded Port Arthur iigaln nnd the cruiser Askold had a gun dis mounted and two men Injured. - The Russian deny the loss of n torpedo boat in Pigeon bay. They state that a Janauese shot pierced the hull of a torpedo boat, but that the leak was stopped nnd the vessel returned to Port Arthur under her own steam. Meantime, according to reports. wMch neither country confirms, the Japanese hnve extended their sen operations to the north nnd ore snid to be blockading the Itussian r-val base of Vladlvosloek. No reports cnntUming the landing of the Japanese in force nt Posslet bay, seventy-five miles south of Vlndivostoek, hnve been received. The object of this movement. It was snld nt the time, was to advnnce Into the interior, some 'J-O miles to Kirin, which Is a town situated on a spur of the railroad running to Port Arthur. The country between Posslet bay and Kirin is mountainous and poorly supplied with roads, so that the Japanese, if such a movement Is being con ducted, must have nt their 'disposal a strong force. In pushing on to Kirin the Japanese would flank the Husslan army being concentrated on the Ynlu river, und they would lay their own base of communication exposed to the Husslan troops nt Vlndivostoek. At the snine time they would be nd vauclng directly Into the teeth of the heavy reinforcements which Russia Is pouring down the Port Arthur branch of the Manehurian railway. There seems to be the snine denrth of positive Information regarding lnnd operations ns sen movements. No two reports agree ns to the strength HUSHING TROOPS TO SCENE OF WAR. Russia lius strained every nerve to get troops into Korea. Her Cossacks are the flower of her army. Tlicy are said to be the finest cavalrymen in the world. This is a skctclf of a regiment of Cossacks entraining at Irkutsk for the scene of conflict. of Jupan's forces in Korea or of Russia's In Manchuria. Probably outside government circles the knowledge does not exist, and neither government is outlining either Its land strength or its plans. That the Japanese are nvnlllng themselves of their temporary mastery of the sea, hastening re inforcements to Korea, Is certain; that Russia Is straining every nerve to hurry her troops from Europe to the East Is equally so. Advance pnrties of the Japanese and Russians nre getting glimpses of ench other In Northern Korea and mounted Cossacks nre reported ns seizing telegraph lines wher ever they penetrate. Reports state thnt Russian mounted cavalry (pre sumably Cossacks) hnve appeared nt Anju and thnt n strong force has been dispatched to Eastern Korea. Both sides nre apparently maneuvering for po sition, nnd it is probable that somewhere near Ping Yang the first serious engagement on land will be fought. The Japanese are suld to have landed 1150,000 troops In Korea, and trnns porta nre leaving Japanese ports at regular intervals with reinforcements. Russia is moving much slower Hum Japan In this military movement. Gen. Kouropatkln, who will have supreme control of the lnnd operations In the East, will not leave for the front for a couple of weeks yet, ns It Is his wish to have 400,000 troops at his disposal before actively entering on the campaign. That Russia does not Intend to force the fighting Is evidenced by the notification given to our Ambassador nt St. Petersburg relative to the Amerlcun officers who nre to make observations with the Russian troops. They are not expected to attach themselves to the Russian army before April 15. Meantime there seems to be n consensus of opinion nmong military ex perts that Japan Is preparing for an Investment of Port Arthur by sea and land. In fact, in certain quarters the belief Is strong thnt the movement for the lund Investment Is already under wny. The Russian commander, (Jen. Stoessel, who directs the garrison, has Issued a proclamation outlining this purpose of the Japanese, and called upon the troops to tight to a finish. "I, us commandant." he said, "will never give an order to surrender." In case of Investment, It Is Interesting to know how well prepared Port Arthur Is for such n siege. At the outbreak of the war all civilians were ordered out, so that there would be ns few mouths ns possible to feed. Ac cording to one report, Port Arthur Is provisioned for eight months. Should It tie able to hold out even for one-half of that time, Russia should be ablo to pour enough troops down the Llao-Tong peninsula to end the land Invest ment. But It Is the belief of military and naval experts that Port Arthur Is vastly more vulnerable than it wns thought to be when Russin secured a twenty -five years' lease of the place from China and began to fortify it. It Is estlmnted that Russin has l!(M ituns in position In Its forts. ENTIRE ARMY CALLED OUT. Czar laaurs an Imperial Order Which Will Mobilize Alt Kuaiia'a Troop.. The Czar has issued an imperial order ruieh practically calls out all the troops lit Hussitt's disposal snd orders them to prepare for immediate service iu the fur Kast. The ukaso caused much com ment Iu the cupital city, not particularly among army und navy officers, but it awed civilians. It foreshadows a long war and Indicates that the government is fully aware of the dithVully which will attend the expected triumph of Kus yitui arum in the contlict with Japan. OhViully the order seemed tin inno cent one. It summolisd tho reserve sub altern and first -clans reserve men of European UiiKsia to the colors for a six week' course of training. A similar order was issued to the linv.il reserves. On the face of it this order does uot eem to mean much, ltut military men snd diplomats know it means that every thing is being made ready for the mo bilir.ution of the entire Kussian army. The order was undoubtedly a shock to civilian Kiikuia. When the war started it was fully believed that the victory over Japan was a matter of but a few weeks. As the days passed and uews ot Husslan victories did not materialise, the pnbllc laid it simply to the suppotd tiou that the t'inr's nnvy aud troops were waiting only until they felt that they could deliver a crushing blow to the forces of. the Mikado, and thereby end tu war in a few months at ths most.

BAIKAL NOT CONQU6RED. Frozen Lake a Serious Obstacle in Way of Hussion Troops. The reassuring statements published by the chief of the Russian transport ser vice regarding the transport of troops across Lake Baikal nre entirely discred ited by independent witnesses. Accord ing to a Russian informant I here is no reason for doubting the reports that many hundreds of soldiers have been ren dered unlit for service by the hardships endured on the march over the ice.s 'l'h e casualties, this authority adds. have been vastly increased by inadequate clothing nnd lite food supplied the sol diers. The men before setting out on the march across the lake nie served early in the morning at Haikal station merely with ten and dry bread. At a half way wooden barracks they receive a basin of hot wheaten gruel cooked in salt water without the addition of any fat, and iu the evening, at the end of their toilsome journey of forty-seven miles through wind and snow, they nre again provided with tea nnd dry bread. Many of the men before reaching the barracks manage to sell their thick high boots of felt for bottles of vodka, with the result thnt their feet nre frozen and cases of drunkenness on the march sre by no means rure. Stragglers of this description are necessarily left to their fate unless -they can be placed by coin passionate comrades on pack sleighs.
