Capt. Sam Moore, William Randolph Hearst Candidate for the Democratic Nomination for President. Although only forty-one years old, William Randolph; Hearst has at- tained a prominence in the fields of journalism and politics, that makes him one of the most talked of men in public lite. Born in San Francisco, California, forty-one years ago, educated in the public schools of his native city and at Harvard. He chose the profession and business of journalism, in which he has achieved a phenomenal suc- cess. He is now the sole owner and directing force of elght metropolitan newspapers—The New York Ameri- can, ‘he New York Morming Journal, the Das Morgan Journal, the Boston American, the Chicago Examiner, the Chicago American, the San Fran- cisco Examiner, and the Los Angeles American—all Democratic papers battling unceasingly tor Democratic principles, and fighting every form of monopoly and special privilege, Unaided and alone, Mr. Hearst has successfully prosecuted the coal trust, and is now exposing the nefarious methods of the beef trust. He is vertually compelling the federal of- ficiala to institute proceedings against these rapacious cormorate that are fattening off of the sub- stance of the people. Mr. Hearst is the President of the National Association of Democratic clubs, member of congress from the thirteenth New York district, anda candidate for the Democratic Presi: dential nomination. He has already secured the delegations from Rhode Island, South Dakota and New Mex- ico, a portion of the Kansas delega- tion, all the delegates so far elected in Ohio, with a certainty of the Ill nois delegation, so that he is a force to be reckoned with in the Democratic politics of the country. Mr. Hearst comes of Missouri stock, his father and mother both having been born and reared in Franklin county, this state. STEER CASE AGAIN DECIDED. Elijah Rice Awarded Verdict Over John Massengale.

St. Petersburg, April 15.—The Rus- sian admiralty authorizes the Asso- clated Press to deny Vice Admiral Topo’s assertion that the Japanese sank the Petropavivosk in a fight off Port Arthur. The officials declare positively that there was no naval engagement, excepting the torpedo boat destroyer fight, either preced- ing or following the lose of the flag- ship. ‘ ee The naval staff has no information concerning last night’s rumor that the Japanese have succeeded in block- ing the entrance of the harbor of Port Arthur.

CONSECRATED BREAD ALSO THROWN IN At St. Petersburg the Populace Is Worked inte Frensied Enthusi- asm by the Appearance of the Hero, Who Is Expected to Avenge Defeats Inflicted, St. Petersburg, April 19.—Vice Ad- miral Skrydloff has arrived here on his way to the far east, where he will of the Russian fleet at He was accorded an en- thusiastic reception by the people who thronged the streets. The vast Znam- isfskaia square, opposite the Nicholas railroad station, was black with peo- thusiastic cheers as the admiral left the car and from the bare-headed throng a peasant stepped out and pre- sented Skrydloff with a copy of a picture entitled “The Holy Virgin of Joy to the Afflicted,” which is reputed to have miraculous power. The peas- ant also presented the admiral with consecrated bread, telling Skrydloff that he saluted him in the name of the masses of the Russian people, all of whose hopes depended on him as the hero of the Russo-Turkish war. “The people are convinced,” added the spokesman, “that Admiral Skrydloff will justify the hopes of the emperor and the fatherland, and like the virgin whose picture has just been given him will bring joy, and that soon, to a peo- ple now afflicted.” The admiral, who was visibly af- tected, took the picture, declaring that he would not depart with the picture throughout the campaign and that he would put all his faith in God, A rep- resentative of the middle classes pre- sented the admiral with a picture of 3t..Theodosius, the miracle-worker of Czerniakoff, The admiral then entered a carriage and drove off, followed by deafening shouts of “Long live Skryd- loff.” On arrival at his hotel a little sirl presented the admiral with a bou- quet, hailing Skrydloff as the “supreme sommander of my brothers who are serving in the navy in the far east.” “God help you,” said the child, “in all your paths and may Heaven grant that good fortune attend you always juring the war, for the glory of our fear country.” The admiral embraced the girl and the action brought out salvos of cheers. No confirmation has been received bere up to this hour of the reported arrival of a big fleet of Japanese trans- ports in the gulf of Chi Li. Reports differ widely as to the destination of the fleet, Kin-Chou, situated on the oarrowest part of the Liao Tung penin- sula, above Port Arthur; Kai-Chou, south of New Chwang, and New Ohwang itself being mentioned by the various reports. An attempted landing at the head of the Liao Tung gulf has been anticipated for some time, but latterly the Russians have been in- slined to believe that they have so strengthened their position there that the Japanese have abandoned the idea of landing more than a raiding party to cut the railroad to Port Arthur. It ls considered possible that the Japa- nese may have decided that the time is opportune to land at Kin-Chou ,with the object of cutting off and investing Port Arthur. The chances of effecting a landing in neutral Chinese territory on the coast west of the Liao Tung peninsula are now regarded ‘as remote, as the Russians do not believe the Japanese will dare risk arousing the Chinese and thus bring down upon Mound Items. The weather for the past two weeks has been too cold to suit the farmer. Uncle Jack Elgin sold 20 head of beef cattle to Bailey & Co., for four cents @ pound. The county is full of candidates, anda more gentlemanly, courteous lot of men we have seldom met. J. B, Rice has just finished plant- ing 18 acres of corn. Says he will risk that much in the cold ground. Rev. R. W. Stewart will preach a sermon on the “Resurrection of Christ,” on Sunday, May 8th, at 11:30. m. Everybody invited to attend. J. W. Crews, who had his foot al- most cut off with a hedge axe some time ago, is able to be out again. We are confident that old Mound will go solid for Joseph Folk for gov- ernor of the grand state of Mis- souri. ‘ The grading at the Bone’s- Fork bridge west of Passaic is completed at last. It has long been an eyesore to the traveling public, and has taken a great deal of trade from Butler the past, winter. Walter Crews who has been attend- ing the commercial echool at Nevada, ishome to help his father during crop time. Our little town of Passaic is still 0+ the boom. .
