The new catalogue of the Grand Island Business & Normal College at Grand Island , Xeb. , is now be ing sent out and should be read by every ambitious young man and woman.

Port Arthur will be my tomb , " wrote General Stoessell about five months ago. The world is glad to know that the heroic commander of the Russians lived to make hon orable te/ms of sur-emW of the great Manchur.an stronghold whih has just . .jus.8d into the hands of the irreprcssi ) le Japanese. * fcThe fall of Port Arthur will I end the war , " was the statement of many at the outset of the con flict , and the capitulation of that fortress was anticipated 10 months ago and was even expected a few days after the overwhelming de feat of the Eussian fleet in its wat ers. Not one , not even the czar himself , perhaps not even Stoes sell , and certainly not Oysima or Nogi , or Togo suspected that the Russian fortifications could resist the fierce Japanese assaults until the year 1905. The fall of Port Arthur seems far from ending the war ; in fact it is merely an inci dent long deferred and which had -been.-'robbed of its terror at St. i * " * ' " Petersburg jby frequently express- eLfexvs'"many months ago that its capture was imminent. It has cost" the Japanese dearly , with an estimated death and dis ability of the immense number of 75,000 men. No accurate figures are obtainable and perhaps the price of Port Arthur in Japanese lives will never be known. It was the most stubbornly resisted and most fiercely prosecuted siege in all history. The Japs have Port Arthur. The Russian ships in the harbor , which had long been out of com mission save as defenders of the port , are blown to flinters. There is no threatening force in that vic inity which can further occupy the vigilant Togo and no possible re inforcement of the Rojestvensky fleet from the erstwhile formidable squadron of ironclads cooped up in the harbor. The fact is the Japs seem to have accomplished the fall of Port Arthur barel.v in time to disappoint the Bal tic fleet , which fs still many thousand miles fr m its destination. Russia can apparently hope for nothing on the sea in many years of war to come , but Russia had long ago foregone that hope and it now re mains to be sec whether the im mense armies which can be turned into Manchuria from the great empire will accomplish the terri ble reckoning with Japan which the Russians have many times promised. The moral effect of the fall of Port Arthur upon the Russians cannot in any way be disastrous , and to the Japs it is a cause of great relief rather than great re joicing. Japan is the undisputed mistress of the oriental seas and it remains to be seen whether the Baltic ships can wrest those honors from her in spite of awful handi caps. One thing is certain : When Japan captured Port Arthur in the Chinese war , it was the merry work of a few hours , an easy vic- | tory , and as easily the powers per suaded the Japs to give up Port Arthur ; but in the present instance Port Arthur was won after the most terrible sacrifice of life and money , and the Japs will never give that stronghold back to the powers without a struggle. \ \VorKl- !
