THE O’NEILL FRONTIER D. H. CRONIN. Publi«!ier. 5’NEILL, NEBRASKA At present. If the latest advices from China ore to be credited, that country U the great slave country of the world. Of a population of 400,000,000 there are •laves to the number of 10,000,000. Ev ery family of means keeps Its girl ■laves, and a man's position Is usual ly gauged by the number he keeps. At any age from 3 to IB girls are sold. 8 being the age at which most change handa The girls are supposed to do housework. It being cheaper to buy them than to hire. Slaves vary In price; 210 Is about the average, but much depends on the girl's appear-, anee. A good looking girl will fetch (20 or even |40. Naturalists have discovered many animals which seem to need no water or which drink only at rare Intervals. There Is a certain breed of gazelles, which never drink, and the llamas of’ Patagonia live for years without tak ing water. There Is a particular class of cattle near Losere, In France, that rarely touches water, but In spite of this fact these cattle give milk of a rich quality, from which excellent cheese Is made. Many naturalists have the theory that hares do not drink or that Water Is not a necessity for them and that the dew on the grass satisfies them. Among the curious things that ar rest the attention on arriving in Mos cow Is the entire absence of whips among drivers of cabs, carriages and nil sorts of vehicles. There is a law prohibiting their use. There Is not a single whip In use in Moscow. The excellent condition of the horses at tests the benefit of this humane law. .Nothing can exceed the beauty of the sleek and well groomed horses used in the carriages of Moscow. A movement Is on foot in Russia to 1 imtnish the excessive number of holi days for students. During a four year's course at a Russian university, the work done covers only one year and 295 days. In France the time covered Is two years, 74 days; In England, two years. 158 days; In the United States, two years 210 days; In Germany, two j cars, 230 days. Denmark stands at the head of the list, with two years, 2 84 dnysi Among the recent Inventions which poultry fanciers find Interesting at the the world’s fair Is a pair of goggles to bo placed on chickens to prevent them from picking out the eyes of one another. Pugnaciously Inclined birds on a farm can do a great deal of harm to the others, and, as a protec tion against damage being sustained to the eyes, It Is proposed to equip the members of the flock with the goggles. The university of Freiburg hnd a grand celebration the other day—pro cessions, fireworks. Illuminations, ad dresses, the occasion being the round ing out of the number of students to 2,000. One of the speakers referred to the fact that the number 1,000 was reached in 1885, and he was much ap plauded wljen he pointed at a babe in arms of a nurse ns the future four thousandth student. John Roberts, a noted London bil liard player, now In this country, hav ing nearly circled the globe, says that In India and China particularly, the English game Is played. In Java, he found the American or French game mostly In vogue. English tables are different from the American and the game differs from tfiat played here, be ing. he says, more scientific than three bull billiards. There are 190,227 professional beg gars In Spain, of whom 51,948 are women. In some of the cities beggars are licensed to carry on their trade. Seeking alms Is recognized as a legiti mate business, and the municipality demands a percentage upon the coliet tlons. Seville Is the only city In the kingdom which forbids begging In the streets. Professor Dally Willis, R. H. Sar geant and Eliot Blackweller, of the Carnegie Institute, Washington, have returned to the United States after a year's expedition in the Interests of science to the orient. They made a geological survey In the mountains of China and visited several provinces to which no white man had ever pene trated. A tan on which are written the names of all the members of the Berlin con gress, belongs to the Baroness von Langen (nee von Prlllivtz). The pos sessor obtained the signatures at sev eral soirees given In honor of the con gress, at the English embassy und the Austrian embassy. When the war broke out, the librar ies on the Japanese warships were cleared of all Action and Illustrated pa pers, only technical treatises being al lowed to remain. This Is In significant contrast to the Russiann ships at Port Arthur, which were provided with ping pong tables. Mount Sangay Is the most active volcano In the world. It Is In Ecuador. Is 17,120 feet In height, and has been In constant activity since 1728. The sounds of its eruptions are sometimes heard In Quito, 150 miles distant, and 267 reports were once counted In one hour. Dr. Waldo, city of London coroner, said In a lecture recently that a weap on In the hand of a man who had been murdered is always tightly grasped, so that the Angers sometimes have to be severed before It can be released. In the case of suicide there Is no grasp at Professor Assmann, one of the Ger man government meterorologlcal ex perts says that lightning seldom strikes In a forest where the trees are dense and of about the same height.

Jewett last Monday celebrated i their golden wedding, as they were married in Alexandria, Va., on August ! 15, 1854. Few towns. Indeed, of the size of Pierce, Neb., are favored with the privilege of celebrating such occasions so often as has been the oppor tunity here, when considering the prominence of the persons. After their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Jewett removed to Boston, where they resided until gojng to Sterling, III., In 1865. They later changed their resi dence to Crawford county, la., where they remained bu! a short time, when they took up their residence at Tipton, la.

Young Couple of Lincoln Use Cupid’s String to Good Advantage. i Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 23.—Awakened by a gentle tugging at the cord tied to her linger, a husty toilet, a short, blissful trip ! from the second story window down tho | ladder to the ground in tho arms of her ; sweetheart, a ride to the priest's home in the cool, quiet of dawn and a marriage without the knowledge of her parents, Is the highly romantic history of tho wooing and winning of Miss Louise Zleger of this city by James A. Good, formerly of Des Moines. Tho marriage took place a little more than two weeks ago, but the true story hus Just reached the public. According to tho plot, the beautiful lady of the story spent the night before the dawn of her wedding day resting with a string tied to her Unger, the other end dangling a few feet from the ground out aide her window. In tho early morning she awoke to feel a gentle pulling at the string. She hastily dressed, raised the window and passed a suit case to her lover, poised at the top of the ladder on the outside. But he forgot to grasp the suit ease and It fell, struck the ladder, rebounded and crashed against a window. The dawn blushed. The two scrambled to the ground, entered a carriage and were driven away to the home of a priest, where a quiet wedding took place. When the bride’s parents sent a call t_o her room for breakfast they received no answer. They opened the door. She was gone and they had no trace of here where i abouts. Mr. Good had obtained the license of ! marriage late tho previous evening, and ■ only a few knew of It until the wedding. Tho bride and groom have many friends In Lincoln. Mr. Good came here from Des I Moines two years ago, FIRE WRECKS ELEVATOR. Albion Building and Contents a Total Loss of $11,000. Albion, Neb.. Aug. 22.—This city was again viBlted by an early morning lire, when the elevator of the Albion Milling company was discovered to be on fire. The Ilames had envelyoped the whole building before any one saw the fire and when the fire company reached the •cene there was no hope to save the building and they turned their atten tion to save the mill. It was a long hard fight, but the firemen kept the Humes confined to the building In which the Vre originated. DIED ON FAST TRAIN. Wealthy New Yorker Drops Dead While on His Way to Denver. Chester, Neb., Aug. 24.—Paul Wagner, a man about G5 years of age, was found i dead on train No. 13 and the body was ! put off at this station. The sheriff at ; Hebron was notified, who, upon arriv ing, consulted Dr. Youngerman, and, deeming an inquest unnecessary turned the corpse over to Undertaker Hompes. to prepare same for burial. In search ing his person the sheriff found $38 in currency and a draft on the Utica Trust company of Utica, N. Y., for $100, and a ticket from the above .named point to Denver. Telegrams sent to both places were answered, the one from Utica being sent by the president of the trust company, and ordering the remains to be prepared and shipped to Utica on the first train. The one sent to ills brother in Denver received a like answer. The remains were shipped to Utica on an early morning train. The supposition is that the man died from , heart’failure. He appeared to be an in- ; veterate smoker and had cigars in j large numbers.in his suit case and I pockets, and was troubled with the to- j baeoo heart. He was apparently trav- '■ ellng for his health. . • WOMAN’S HEROIC ACTION. Her Courage Prevents Companion From Drowning in River. Palmer, Neb., Aug. 2 4.—The heroic act of Mrs. A. G. Anderson in saving Miss Mary McVeigh from death by drowning in the lamp river near this place is the principal topic heard here. Several of the young' r women went into the Loup to enjoy toe luxury of an open air hath. During their bathing, Miss Mary McVeigh went beyond her d^pth, and was soon struggling in deep water. Being unable to swim, the young woman would undoubtedly have been drowned had not Mrs. A. G. An derson Immediately gone to the rescue of her friend. When Mi'S. Anderson reached the struggling woman the latter seized her in such a manner that the two went un der, and the swiftly running water car ried them out into the channel and down the river three-quarters of a mile. Mrs. Anderson, who had retained her hold upon her companion, did not ipse her presence of mind, and, as they were carried under the drooping branches of a tree, she seized one of its branches. She was able to keep her head and that of Miss McVeigh out of the water until both were finally rescued. ROBBERS MAKE GOOD HAUL. Chadron ,Woman Attacked and $4,000 Taken From Her. Chardron, Neb., Aug. 24.— The house of May Johnson was entered through a window by two masked men. Miss , Johnson went into the hall and called : out to know who was there when an arm was thrown around her and the 1 robber with the other hand choked her j so she could not make an outcry, while the other man robbed her of $4,000 in greenbacks which she had in an inside | pocket of her dress skirt. The men then went out of the back door, leav- I ing Miss Johnson so stunned she was hardly able to call for help. As soon j as possible the police were called but the robbers had made good their es cape for the time. No one but habitues of the place, it is thought could have done the deed, and the sheriff and city authorities are conducting a thorough search. Miss Johnson has offered $500 reward. Nebraska State Fair. Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 23.—The state fair I will be held In Lincoln August 27 to Sep- j tember 2.

I RESULT OF THE ASSAULT DOUBTFUL Mikado’s Soldiers Have Broken Enemy’s Line, but City Still Stands’ HEAVY JAPANESE LOSS In the Long Assault on Port Arthur the Mikado’s Troops Have Been Reduced in Ranks Some 28,000 According to Reports. St. Petersburg, Aug. 24.—A dispatch from Chefoo, August 22, says that ac cording to Chinese reports the Japanese yesterday bombarded Port Arthur from 6 o'clock in the morning until 2 o'clock in the afternoon, pouring in a very heavy Are, but that the Russians suc ceeded in silencing the Japanese bat teries. The Japanese squadron was not engaged, having put further out to sea. Hong Kong, Aug. 24.—Sixty-five men of the Russian torpedoboat destroyer -Burny. beached at Yong Cheng, south east of Wei Hai Wei, arrived here to day on board the British stdreshlp Humbei. Shanghai, Aug. 24—Evidence given before the naval court today shows the shelling and sinking of the British steamer Htpsang. July 16, by the Rus sians, to Cave been a reckless and wanton act. Nine Chinese were wound ed and three killed on board the ves sel. Nagasaki, Aug. 24.—The Russian steamer Sungari, which was ',unk by the Russians near Chemulpo at the be ginning of the war to prevent her cap ture by the Japanese, and which subse quently was floated by the latter, has arrived here. Washington, Aug. 24.—consul trowier cables the state department today from Cliefoo that the Chinese local authori ties. as well as the Chinese population, are greatly alarmed over the prospect that the Japanese fleet will land men at Chefoo and seek to destroy the wire less telegraphy system which has been operating with Port Arthur. JAPS LOSE HEAVILY. Terrible Cost of the Assault on Port Arthur. Liao Yang, Aug. 24.—The following is supplied by a Russian correspondent of the Associated Press: "With each additional report from Port Arthur wonder increases both at the persistence of the Japanese attack and the heroic stubborness of the de fenders of the fortress. The Japanese are literally throwing away thousands of lives in the hope of shaking the cour age of the Russian troops. “Major General Focks says he is con fident the fortress cannot be taken, but that if it is taken the whole Japanese army will have to immolate itself on the slopes of the fortifications. "There were five desperate assaults on Green hills July 26, the Japanese ap parently with inexhaustible reinforce ments. "In the final assault, however, the Japanese broke badly, throwing away their guns, cartridge belts and even their boots to facilitate their flight, and leaving 7,000 dead or wounded. “Our surgeons worked heroically, im partially aiding Japanese and Rus sians. The Japanese were so touched that they tearfully thanked the Rus sian surgeons. "The assault on the Green hills was repeated on July 27 and there were fre quent hand to hand encounters, the Russians leaving their trenches to fol low their enc nies. "The assaults of July 26 and 27 on the Wolf hills were not followed up, the Japanese being too severely shaken. We evacuated Wolf hills chiefly for strategic reasons, as the hills made the line of defenses too long to effectively withstand the furious attacks of the Japanese. “The assault of July 30 was made in the dark of night in the hope of sur prising the Russians. Sixty thousand men were hurled against our 43,000, but we drove them back again and again at the point of the bayonet. It was an other Shipka pass. "The Japanese poured in fresh bat talions and the slopes covered with the dead and the dying literally ran with blood. "Our Thirteenth regiment was forced from its position, but the Fourteenth regiment came up and with the bayonet again dislodged the victors. "As near as can be ascertained this assault cost the Japanese 10,000 men. The Japanese losses since the siege began have been 28,000 men. The ex plosion of one mine wiped out 600. This wras an awful sight. A volcano of stones disembered the bodies of the soldiers while the sky was lighted with a purple glare and the mud walls of the Chinese village were thrown down by the shock. After this fight General Stoessel collected 20,000 Japanese rifles. “The Japanese installed twenty siege guns on the Wolf hills August 4» Four of these are twelve-inch guns. They have not yet reached our shore batter ies, which are still out of range, ljut they have damaged the dry dock and the railway station. The Japanese are mapping the town by sections for the purpose of bombardment, and they are assisted in this task by a Chinese en gineer who recently deserted to them. "The Japanese fire an average of 800 shells daily, and they keep up their Ve both day and night.” PORT ARTHUR’S SITUATION. Japanese Assadlts Were Especially Directed Against Russian Center. Chefoo, Aug. 24.—The Chinese who bring the latest information from Port Arthur were employed by the Russian authorities to carry the dead off the field. They state that ammunition is plentiful and confirm the reports that Liati promontory was not assaulted for the reason that it is impregnable from the sea. and the Japanese are unable to move on it from the north. The Japanese main attack has been heaviest against the Russian center and right, particularly against the center, fronting which the Japanese have taken up a strong position at Shushifen. Pigeon bay had been the scene of fighting for several days before the final assault was begun, the Japanese never being able to hold for a long time any territory they might gain. The Japanese believe their superior physical position will win the battle for them, by wearing out the Russian gar rison. which is constituted of less hard ened material, but they are making a dogged and determined resistance. While the Russians apparently be lleve they will hold the Japanese In check, their confidence In a successful resistance is not absolute. The Japa nese have guns mounted on nearly all hills, which formerly formed Russian outposts. Their fire is accurate. The hospitals and Chinese houses at Port Arthur are full of Russian wounded, and the dead, until ready for burial, are stored in warehouses and then in terred on the outskirts of the town quicklime being used freely to prevent infection. It is assorted in reliable quarters at Port Arthur that the Japanese have re ceived reinforcements of 30.000 men from the north. The steamer Victoria which has arrived here this evening from Newchwang reports hearing spasdomic heavy firing at Louisa and Pigeon bay respectively, northwest and west of Port Arthur, between 10 last night and 1 this morning. THE DIPLOMATIC VIEW. Japan Defines Attitude on Ryeshitelni Case and China’s Neutrality. Tokio, Aug. 24.—The Japanese gov ernment gave to the Associated Press a statement defining its attitude in the capture of the Ryeshitelni and declar ing its position on the entire question ! of Chinese neutrality as follows: "The status of China in the present struggle is wholly unique. Nearly all the military operations are carried on within its borders. It is not a party to the conflict, nevertheless its territories are in part belligerent and in part neu- I tral. That condition of things in the contemplation of international law is ' an anomaly and a contradiction. In this case it is a creature of a special understanding, to which belligerents have given a decision with a view to limit the area of hostilities in the in- ; terest of foreign intercourse and the general tranquility of China. "The Japanese government engaged to respect the neutrality of China out side of the regions actually involved in war, provided that Russia made a sim ilar engagement and carried it out in good faith. The Japanese government considered that belligerents were pre-. eluded by this engagement from oc cupying or making use for warlike pur- j poses of any of the territory or ports ! of China outside of the zone which has been made the theater of war, because it seemed to them that any such occu- : pation would ipso facto convert the places thus occupied and used from neutral to belligerent territory. "It equally seemed to them that any such occupation and use of neutral Chinese territory or ports by the Rus sian forces would give effect to the pro viso in the Japanese engagement and Justify it in entering territory or ports :-:o occupied and used as belligerent. China’s Neutrality Imperfect. "In other words, the Japanese gov- ' ernment held that China’s neutrality is imperfect and applicable only to! those places which are occupied by the ' armed forces of either belligerent and \ Russia cannot escape the consequences of an unsuccessful war by moving its army or navy into those portions of China which by arrangement had been made comfortably neutral. A Russian warship from Port Ar thur sought in the harbor of Chefoo asylum from attack which its home port had ceased to afford. In taking that step it was guilty of a breach of the neutrality of China as established by the agreement of the belligerents, and Japan was fully justified in regard ing the port of Chefoo belligerent so far as the incident in question is con cerned. With the termination of the incident the neutrality of the port was revived. “The action taken by Japan at Che foo was a direct natural course of consequences of Russia’s disregard of Us engagement, but it is not alone in this matter nor alone in the Chefoo matter that Russia has flagrantly vio lated China’s neutrality and ignored its own engagements. “Shortly after the investment and iso- i lation of Port Arthur a system of wire less telegraphy was installed between the beleaguered forts and the Russian consul at Chefoo. The system is still in operation notwithstanding the repeated protests of the Japanese government. Russia Inconsistent. “At Shanghai at the beginning of the war the Russian gunboat Mandjur, In defiance of China’s neutrality, re mained in the port for weeks after re ceiving notice to leave. Finally after long negotiations it consented to dis armament. Again, the Russian cruiser Askold and the destroyer Grozovoi have now been at Shanghai for more than a week and still refuse to disarm or leave. The Japanese government has no inten tion of disregarding China’s neutrality so long as it is respected by Russia, but they cannot consent that Russian warships as a result of a broken en gagement and a violated neutrality shall unchallenged find in the harbors of China safe refuge from capture or destruction.” WERE BADLY WRECKED. Cruisers Rossia and Gromcboi Were Fortunate Not to Sink. Vladivostok, Aug. 24.—Captain Ber linsky, who was killed by a splinter striking him on the head in the battle with the Japanese squadron on August 14, was buried Wednesday with im pressive military honors. Most of the wounded officers now in the hospital are expected to recover. The death of Lieutenant Brash of the cruiser Grom obol, is reported to have been particu larly tragic. He was hurled from the bridge by the explosion of a shell. Al though mortally wounded, he contin ued to issue orders. and encourage his men until he was removed between decks. The Gromoboi and Rossia present a battered appearance. Their smoke stacks show great rents, while the masts, bridges and ventilators look like sieves. The guns are dismantled and enormous holes are In the hulls, through which a man could easily pass. All the officers are full of prise for the coolness and bravery of the men, who died in the battle without a murmur. Comrades took their places without awaiting orders. It was deadly work on the upper decks, where the gunners were without protection and shells were striking and bursting into thou sands of fragments, killing and wound ing men until the deck became a ver itable shamble. Not a single gunner protected by casement lost his life. With the exception of Captain Berlin sky, all who were killed were buried at sea.’ On board the Rurlk were twenty four officers and priests, eighty-seven petty officers and 700 men. MUST GO OUT ONCE MORE. Russian Fleet at Port Arthur Has Most Positive Orders. St. Petersburg. Aug. 24.—An official dispatch from Rear Admiral Prince Ouktomsky at Port Arthur, by way of Chefoo, says only two officers were killed on board the ships which re turned to the harbor after the fight of August 10. but his information about the condittoii of the ships is unsatis factory. News that the Port Arthur squadron has again sallied out is expected at any hour, as Prince Ouktomslty’s or ders are imperative to go out or to destroy the ships beyond possibility of repair, before the fortress; falls. ARE DESERTING PACKERS) About a Thousand Men Who Loft the Plants Saturday Fail to Re turn to Work. Chicago, Aug. 24.—Practically every striker at the stock yards went on duty as a picket today, all working under thoroughly organized plans.

President Donnelly Urges Those at St. Louis to Stand by the Guns. East St. Louis, 111., Aug. 24.—Michael Donnelly, International president of the Butchers' and Meat Cutters’ union, de livered an address in the city today in, which he declared that the strikers in this city were not receiving the sup port which they should from union labor. He declared that the fight was purely and solely for the recognition of the union, and that It should in terest every man who carried a union card. He counseled the strikers to avoid violence and to keep well within the limitations placed upon them by the courts, but urged that they inter view the men employed as strike breakers and use their Influence in in ducing them to quit work. Mr. Donnelly stated that the princi pal object of his visit to East St. Louis at this time was to investigate the method of operating the strikers’ com- V missary.

Sensational Story Told by a StrikerJLr Arrested in Chicago. Chicago, Aug. 24.—Captain Clancy of the stock yards police station, an nounces that a man arrested for beat ing a non-union man employed in the stock yards had confessed to him that local union No. 213, of the truckmen's union, had unanimously voted to adopt slugging methods in the stock yards strike and that the 600 members of the organization had been organized into squads by Business Agent James -De vines. The duty of these squads, according to the confession which Captain Clancy says was obtained from his prisoner, was to drag non-union men from street cars and beat them.

In addition, he declared that he and his companions boarded the car and Brezosky was pointed out to them by the conductor. They dragged him from the car and beat, him. THREE DROWNED. Small Catboat Capsizes Off Boston Light—Two Rescued. Boston, Aug. 24.—By the captizing of a small catboat off Boston light three persons lost their lives. The drowned all of whom live in Cambridge, were: KARL LINDQUIST. 43 years old. MARY ANCORSON, 18 years old, a stepdaughter of Lindquist. RALPH JACOBSON, 15 years old. The Gloucester fishing schooner Wil liam H. Cross rescued Harriet Ancor son, of Cambridge, and Karl Umbert, of Quincy.
