The parade arranged for next Monday morning, and the firs works se- enred for that night attest our neverfailing interest in the Fourth, and the jubilant patriotism of this community. Next Monday will be the 128 th anni- versa ry of the Declaration of Indepen- dence, made by the colonial delegates assembled in the old hall in Philadel- phia, July 4th, 1776, announcing to the world that the English colonies ranging along the coast of the Atlantic had sev- ered their relations with the mother country.

1 A long war followed, and it was not until several years after that England acknowledged that independence, and it was several years after that before a Constitution was adopted and the first President elected, but the Fourth of July of 1776 was adopted as being the birthday of the Nation, and as such has been celebrated ever since, and always will be as long as the Nation holds to- let us hope forever. I Since that time the Nation has ac- qnired by conquest and purchase the great breadth of conntry extending to the Pacific, and has multiplied in nurn- bers and increased in wealth faster than any other of the present nations of the Earth, or any recorded in history. Part of this is due to the industry and intel- ligence of the Nation, part to the vari- ed resources of this great country, and part to our system of self government. The signers of the Declaration pledg- ed their lives, their fortunes and their honor to the founding of a Nation based on liberty secured by law, and he must indeed be a thoughtless American who does not welcome each recurring Fourth with patriotic joy and pride. It is a notable day in the annals of the day that marks the birth of tbe greatest repnblic our planet has ever known.

The beginning of any considerable nation is of interest and importance to the world; bnt the birth of a repnblic that in little more than a century has grown from feebleness and poverty to unexampled wealth and prosperity is an event of most momentous import to men of every clime and tongue and of every condition of life, for in one way or another it touches and influences tbe minds of all civilized i men. Bnt wealth and abounding prosperity are not the only guarantees of national growth and endurance. The real foundations of national greatness are laid in wise political principles, in just and equal laws and in the substantial and "homely virtues of tbe people them Good character is the basis of all solid and enduring national prosperity, aa it is of individual. "Righteousness exalteth a nation" is a truth that concerns statesmen and politicians (juite as much aa professed moralists. It was fortunate rot oar country that the founders of the Republic were EnglishspeaUng people; that they brought with Them over tbe sea the common law ot England and the inborn impulses of freemen, and that they based tbe new nation on the indestructible principles of the political equality of all men and rt the right of self-government THE vacancies in the President's cabinet caused the resignations of Attorney General Knox and Secretary Cortelyon have been filled by the appointment of Secretary Moody to be Attorney General; Paul Morton of Dl, to be Secretary of the Navy, and V.

H. Metcalfof California to be Secretary Sot Commerce and Labor. Roosevelt and Fairbanks. At Chicago la it Thursday, Roosevelt and Fairbanks were made the Republican nominees for President and Vice President, without opposition, and Geo. B.

Cortelyon, now Secretary of Commerce and Labor, was chosen Secretary of tbe National Committee. A lengthy "platform" was adopted, which very few people will take the time to read, as the record of the party haa become its platform, while the integrity and ability of the nominees is unquestioned.

For several days past a great battle has been expected between the Jap. and Unas, armies in Manchuria, near Haicheng, a railroad town, about 150 miles north of Port Arthor.but the dispatches of yesterday had the Russians retreating northward towards Liao-Yang another railroad town, about fifty miles to the north of Haicheng, and their base Of supplies. Tbe country there consists of a series of mountain ranges, parallel with tbe railroad.

Tbe Russian army is retreating up tbe yaliey occupied by the 'railroad. with one Jap. army following them, and another in the valley to the east trying to head tbem off, but within supporting distance of the first army should the Russians decide to make a stand. The outposts of the two armies, which number about 100,000 men each, are continually coming in collision, and news of the great battle, which will probably decide tbe fate of Russia's empire in Eastern Asia can be expected anytime. In tbe meantime a Jap.

army has Port Arthur invested on the land side, while their fleet makes sure that none of the Russian fleet there escapes and joias the fleet at Vladivostock. The Russian fleet tried to escape a few Bights afeo, and met with losses which hopelessly cripples it. Chinese coolies who have managed to make their escape from the port say that things are going from bad to Worse, civilians are being pressed into military service, that the price of provisions is rising to a prohibitive figure, that the supply of food is falling short and that the prevailing sentiment is one of great anxiety and As ths Russians were not prepared for the conflict which they provoked in any direction where tbe test has been applied, it is highly improbable that they were any better prepared at Port Arthur than they were found to be else where. sTA WAR NOTES. According to the cable dispatches the people of Japan were in a "frenzy of delight" last Saturday over Admiral Togo's last victory.

The Russian fleet attempted to escape from Port Arthur Thursday night, but were detected and defeated, with the loss of auother of their battle ships with several hundred men while other vessels of their fleet were disabled and driven back into the port. Togo was keeping his vessels out of sight, and his torpedo boats notified him by wireless telegraphy that Russians were coming jast after sundown. The Russian ships got under way, under a forced draft and started on a dash to the south. Togo fleet loomed up on the horizon, and cut off the retreat of the Russian ships into Port Arthur harbor and the battle was on. It was almost dark when the first shot was fired.

Like the sun rising suddenly out of the sea came the flash of a 12-inch gun, the roar awakened the echos for miles around. In a few minutes the engagement general. Dispatches from eye-witnesses of the engagement say it was one of the most magnificent spectacles of the war. Taken by surprise it was some minutes before the Russians got into action, and then from both squadrons tongues of flame belched, followed by deafening reports which seemed to stir the ocean to its depth. Both squadrons were in motion, maneuvering cautionsly for advantage, describing circles through the lon it swell of tjie sea and ouring forth torrents of fire at minute intervals As night advanced search lights were called into play and across the long spectral shaft of light which they threw at intervals darted a hissing shell.

The torpedo boat practice of the Jap. ansse is described as marvelous in its ingenuity and daring. The most thrilling gallantry was dis played. The Russians fought with a courage and desperation born of repeated defeats, but their gun practice wag bad, which accounts for the trifling damage which the Japanese ships sustained during the engagement. Shells from the Russian ships constantly ploded in the air.

or in the water, just too short of the mark, or just beyond the enemy's ships. Great geysers of water spurted up with each of these explosions and deep chasms were torn in the sea. in one of which an escaping torpedo boat was almost engulfed. It was the torpedo boats of tbe Japanese fleet that inflicted the greatest damage A torpedo struck the Peresviet midway in the engagement and five minutes later with a roar like the exploding of a magazine she sank be neath the waves. A well placed shell struck the other battleship the name of which has not yet been ascertained, and put her out of coinmision.

The cruiser was hit by a torpedo and dissapeared toward Port Arthur, apparently in a sinking condition. Meanwhile the smaller guns on the Japanese ships were playing havoc among the torpedo boats of the enemy. For more than five hours the battle lasted. The moon rose over the scene of the terrific struggfe, and shed a blurred and reddening face amid the smoke and flame of tbe conflict. Slowly the Russians backed away from tbe Japanese ships, describing great loops to keep out of range, and with difficulty making tbe entrant) to Port Arthur.

TIIK war between the Gerri.an and English steamship companies continues, and what is calle'd the scum of Europe is being poured into the U. S. THE late Republican National Convention at Chicago was a young man's convention; very few of the old timers were there; and it may be said of President Roosevelt's administration, that it is a young man's administration. The president is not yet 45, the chairman of the National Committee is younger, the two new Cabinet officers are only barely past fifty, as is the can didate for Vice President. The other Secretaries are somewhat older in years but young in enthusiasm.

A FEW days ago the sultan of Morocco sent the bandit Itaisouli some $30,000 in cash and a check for $50,000, besides a lot of prisoners from tke bandit's tribe, whereupon he released Mr. Perdicarb, who is a citizen of this country, and also his step-son, Varley, who is a citizen of England. The money is onderstood to have come from the Sultan's own treasury, as a punishment for not being able to govern his own country. The two men were captured at a country house near Tangier, and were well treated by the brigand while his prisoners, but it is remarkable that the European governments allow such work all along the north coast of Africa, and the shores of the Black Sea; and it is but a few years since the overland trip from Malaga to Granada iu Spain was fraught with the same danger, and the trip from Messina to Mt. Etna in Sicily is yet said to be dangerous on account of brigands.

Sudden Death of Jacob Boos. Jacob Boos, the well known grocery inin of S. Main Butler, met with a sudden death nt the O. station, last Tuesday morning. He and his driver had gone to the station to secure a sample from a car-load of oats, that had been shipped to him.

They drove up to the CAT. which was standing on the track, nearest the creek, and Mr. Boos held the somewhat excitable horse, while the driver went into the car. Something scared the horse, and he reared, turned, and ran throwing Mr. Boo.i upon his back, and though eye witnesses say that the horse feet landed upon Liiu and the wheels of the wagon ran over him no marks were found upon body.

He was lifted at once and carried to the platform, but he died almost immediately, which caused the belief that his death was due to the shock of the occurrence, as his heart had been troubling him for years. He was born in Germany in 1835, came to this country in married a dacghter of Jacob Walter, deed, and was for a time a partner in the milling firm of Walter Eoos. He opened grocery store on his present location in 1881, and has been in that business ever since. He is survived by his "wife, nee Barbara Walter, and five daughters Graduating Exercises.
