NO MILLING WHEAT

to Ship mill Dry Weather
III Only Itemed?.
Kansas flouring mills have almost
exhausted their supply of last year's
wheat and tiiero Is no more of this
year's supply to be found. It looks
as If tho mills will have to shut down
in a short time.
W. A. Dlalr of the Blair Milling com
pany, says every flouring mill in Kan
sas will have to shut down In ten
dnys If some unusually fortunate cir
cumstances do not develop. Tho Blair
nud Lukctis mills are running half
tlnio nnd the Cain mill has several
times lately had to actually stop tho
wheols because of a lack of wheat.
All of last year's wheat has been
exhausted in the Central Jlinnch coun
try nnd In northern Kansas nnd Ne
braska, and the Atchison mills must
wait for this year's crop. Tho price
of last year's wheat on chnngo has
gone up to $1.02 because of the scarc
ity of It and the Inability to get this
season's crop on the mnrkct. The
Atchison millers expected to begin get
ting wheat from Oklahoma July I,
but advices from thcie aic that while
tho wheat has been cut, It, Is soaked
wet In tho shock with no prospects
for threshing It soon. Douglass Cain
says tho wet weather Is going to se
riously affect tho quality of the wheat,
he does not look for much No. 2
wheat from that section of tho coun
try. net tr than Marriage llnrenn.

Coal Will he Welched.
As the result of the meeting of tho
western roads to consider the adop
tion of a method of insuring shippers
or consignees ot coal against loss on
account of faulty weights or pilfer
age, It was decided that the railroads
shall issue bills of lading for each
car ot coal. If there are railroad
scales at tho mines the coal will bo
weighed there by tho railroad; if not,
then at tho nearest company scales.
Tho weights will bo noted on the way
bills, but not upon tho I) II la of lad
ing. Tho coal will bo rewelghed at
junction points. It will again bo
weighed at destination, upon request
of consignee, nt a charge of $3.00 a
car. Tho weights may be made the
basis of claim to bo taken up by tho
claim department for adjustment.
This action applies to all western ten
ritory.

HENRY GASSAWAY DAVIS.

4,600 DIE IN BATTLE
Russians Lose 1,800 and Japan
2,800 Near Port Arthur.
30.00OSTORY UNCONFIRMED
Possibility that the War Correspondents
Have MikIo F.rror In Locution
unit Date of Last llttttle
Prlvato dispatches received In St.
Petersburg from Russian sources In
tho far east, confirm tho reports from
Mukden and Cho Foo. According to a
usually reliable source, tho Japanese
losses wcro 2,800 and tbo Russian loss
1,800.
Even if thcro was no battle cf Ta
Tche Klao or Hal Cheng, the Russians
aro looking forward with entlro con
fident to tho concentration of Gen
eral Kuropatkln's forces nround Lino
Yang, which will mnko tho successful
termination of tho first stage of his
campaign.
A correspondent of tho Associated
Press with tho Russian headquarters
at Llao Yang whoso telegrams here
tofore havo been conservative and re
liable announces tho reception there of
tho "Joyful news" of tho brilliant re-
j pulse of tho Japanese assault on Port
Arthur with a loss ot 30,000 men.
Tho correspondent says whole
masses of tho enemy were blown up
with mines and adds that tho Russian
losses were 1,800 and that Major Gen
eral Fock pursued tho Japanese to tho
Na Ga pass.
The correspondent says tho reports
are causing general rejoicing and con
cludes: "It la believed that General
Oku will retreat to tho south."
It is possible that tho correspondent
is confusing Major General Fock's pur
suit with tho attack made by him on
tho Japanese right flank, when ho wns
also reported to havo been driven back
tho enemy to Nan Ga pass.
Tho popular Jubilation in St. Peters
burg over tho reported great defeat ot
the Japanese before Port Arthur Is be
ing chilled by tho failure to clear up
j the sourco of the reports. While engor-
ly expressing hope for direct official
! confirmation the newspapers counsel
Its acceptance with reserve.
