PORT, AIT ROSEBURG PLAINDEALER. Vol. XXXV ROSEBURG, DOUGLAS COUNTY, OREGON, THURSDAY. JULY 9, 1903. No. 51 RACE RIOT IN INDIANA BATTLE BETWEEN MOB AND MILITIA. THE NEGRO MURDERER SAFELY HOUSED IH THE PENH. A special dispatch from Evansville, Indiana, on Tuesday Bays: Six shot dead and 25 injured, four fatally, is the outcome of the race riots that have caused a reign of terror in this city dur ing the past four days. At 10 :30 lust night the Evansville Company of Indi ana National Guard, assisted by 200 special Deputy Sheriffs svrorn in during the day, while guarding the County Jail, in which were 16 negro prisoners, poured a deadly volley of buckshot and bullets into a crowd of several thousand people led by a hundred armed rioters which was pressing them back amid jeers, accompanied by stones. When the smoke cleared away, six dead bodif s lay on the ground. There is a contention as to who fired first, the soldiers or the rioters. That the troops were fired on is proved by the fact that among the wounded were four members of the troops. Negroes are leaving the city in large numbers, and doiens of nero families are camped in the country. Officials believe there will be no further out break, although the utmost vigilance will be maintained. Governor Durbin is considering the advisability of declaring martial law. Great excitement prevails litre to-day. Most of the killed and wounded were members of prominent families. Ihere is much criticism of the militia, but the soldiers probably acted within their rights, as laid down by the law, and it seems thst the sufferers or their friends and relatives will have no redress Vsscextes, Ind., July 7. Lee Brown, a negro who was in jail here for safe keeping after he killed Officer Massey tt Evansville and precipitated the race riots there, today was taken to the state prison at Jeffersonville by Sheriff Sum mit on an order tram Governor Durbin. At Jeffersonville Brown cannot be reach ed by a mob. The negro was barely alive, and had to be given stimulants and be worked with for two hoars by Doctor Decker before he could be taken to the train. Brown's removal caused great relief here, where the worst was expect ed tonight. Jeffeeso.v, Ind., July 7. Lee Brown, of Evansville, the slayer of Policeman Massey, whose deed caused the Evans ville race riots, arrived at the Indiana Reformatory this afternoon. Brown cannot possibly recover from his wounds. What Does It ilean? In London on Tuesday, Foreign Min ister Delcasse, of France, had a long conference with Foreign Minister Lans downe and M. BeJcasee also lengthily conversed with tiie Russian Ambassador, Count Beckendorff, after the latter bad visited President Loubet. President Loubet was also present in London and after the Lord Mayor had presented to him the keys, of London. A luncheon was served in the City Hall at which there was a brilliant assemblage of guests besides the notable French visitors, including the Prince and Prin cess of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of Connaught, and other members of the royal family, the Cabinet officers, a number of members of the House of Commons, and Field Marshal Lord Roberts. Alter luncheon the Lord Mayor toast ed the President of the French Republic. In reply M. Loubet said he was happy to bring to the heart of the City of London a cordial greeting from the French people. "I join heartily," he added, "in the wishes which you express for a cordial understanding between the two people, each of which holds a necessary place in the history of civiliiation, feeling that their commom interests should inspire them with a spirit of conciliation which will serve the cause of humanity. The presence at my side of the Minister of Foreign Affairs is a pledge to you for the value which the whole French Govern ment attaches to the development of these happy relations of friendstiip be tween our two countries." M. Loubet returned to St. James Palace at about 3 :30 p. in., and spent the rest of the afternoon in a round of visits to members of the royal family. Clover Hay For The Dairy Cow. There are three sins of omission that do most easily beset the dairyman failure to keep the milk or cream sweet until it is delivered to the creamery, failure to weed out the unprofitable cows, and failure to provide a balanced ration. These sins all have their punishment, but it takes the average dairyman a long time to learn the lessons, and then re pent and reform, says Wallace's Farmer. There is no exruse, at least no good excuse, for not having a balanced ration this year provided the weather is such that with energy and intelligence a good crop of clover hay can be secured. We have the clover, the raw material, any amount of it, for this is distinctly a clover year. The only trouble will be in getting it cut and cured at the proper time. With reasonable weather this can be done if the proper amount ct brains and brawn is used. With plenty of good clover hay the problem of the balanced ration is easilv solved. Given clover hay, you have the flesh-formers. The carbooydrates can be supplied in the Ehape of corn either in the ear, or ground, or in the form of silage. How much corn we are to have, and the price of it, are tilings not de termined, but there is little doubt that we shall get along reasonably comfort able provided we take time by the fore lock and expend every energy to secure a good crop of clover hty. We canjoot emphasize this point too forcibly. In other years when we have failures in clover the farmer is obliged, If he feeds his cows a balanced ration, without which there is littleor no profit, to buy his flesh-formers in the shape of bran, gluten meal, or oil meal. We do not hesitate o advise the purchase of these where the ration is cut of balance in the line of flesh-formers. We do not advise them where the farmer can balance the cations on the nitrogenous eide by home grown crops such as clover, alfalfa, cowpeas, or soy beans. Great as the rest of these other -crops are, clover in the huniSd region is the greatest of all and the farmer who fails to secure this clover crop, tor his dairy -cows is making a serious and costly mistake. Betterllet the corn go without the ad dition working, or work it later, even if you have to do it with one horee, then let your clover crop pass the proper period for cutting, which, as we have often told rouT when one-third of the blossoms turn brown. Clover hay cat after this loses verv much of its nutrit ive value. It develops woody fiber very rapidly, become? less digestiole, lee palatable, and has relatively less of the flesh forming elements in it. In curing a crop of clover hay, re member that much of its value depends on its palatability, and it is of greatest palatability when it lias the greatest amount of bloom. Farmers are apt to overlook this point and imagine that clover is clover. They should remember that the food that tastes best to tliem digests the best, gees to the right spot. and gives afceling of comfort and satis facation that can be expresped in words. It is precisely the same way with the dairy cow, or with any other of the live tock on the farm. It is well cured clover cut with the greatest amount of bloom, which is when one-third of the heads are brown, that makes the cow's mouth water and puts the milk in the pail and cream on the milk. Wool Growers Notice. The Roseburg Board of Trade desires to get together a wool exhibit, composed of small samples of all the different varieties.

Let every one take an interest in this and we will soon have a fine exhibit. THE POPE IS DYING END MAY COME AT ANY MOMENT. THE BREAKDOWN OF THE ENTIRE . SYSTEM WILL RESULT IN DEATH. The following Association Press dis patches from Rome, on Tuesday are as follows : Rome, July", 9:20 a. m.Tho pneu monia from which his holiness has txvn suffering is now complicated with pleurisy, and the pontiff has paralysis of the finger. Pope Leo passed a rest less, sleepless night. R me, July 7, 10:45 a. m. An opera tion for puncturing the pleura will be performed on the Pope at 11 o'clock with a Pravat syringe. Rome, Julv 7, 11 a. m. The punctur ing of the pleura has been postponed un til 2 o'clock this afternoon. Rome, July 7, 3 :45 p. ni. -The follow ing bulletin has just been issued: "The test puncture of the pleura has been made, and $00 grams .of liquid have been taken off. A rapid examina tion showed that some mucous was rat tling in the lung, which was originally affected. "The Pope tonderwent the operation with courage. His general condition is now better, and he is resting. Rome, July 7, 4 p. in. After the op eration, Dr. Mazzoni said the danger re mained imminent, but the illness from which the Pope was suffering was full of surprises. His holiness might even live three days longer. Rome, July 7. A bulletin issued at S:30 P. M. says: The condition of the Pope,.as indicated in the last bulletin, continues satisfactory. His pulse and breathing-are slow, but they are grad ually improving. Rome, July S. 7:15 p. m. As evening approached the Pope's condition grew alarmingly worse, and there is serious fear that he will pass away during the night. The pontiffs heart is not func- tioning'properly, as a result of his great prostration and very great weakness. There was no amelioration in the work ing of the Jridneys, which was contrary to expectation after yesterday's oper ation. bp to .3 p. ni. the patient had jjot passed any urine. Tonight's bulle tin is anxiously awaited, as it is .known that it will be issued after a thorough examination, and it will be considered a final verdict, and also because it will tell the whole truth as the result of criti ci&mt of the treatment and the proposal to consult others doctors. American Fleet at Portstnoutk. On Tuesday, with the boom of cannon of the British fleet on .behalf of King Edward, welcomed the United States European Squadron to Great Britain's naval headquarters this morning. The gunboat Machias joined the flagship Kearsarge. the Chicago and tlio tan Francisco, early in the morning, and shortly alter 8 o'clock signals began to flutter from the mastheads of the American andBritish ships. The latter, in obedience to a signal from Lord Charles Beresford, commander of the Channel Squadron, formed two lines and down this lane of huge gray warships moved tbe Americans, their white sides gleaming in the sunshine. National salutes were fired by each Equadron, which were followed by an ex change of salutes to Rear-Admiral Cot ton and Vice-Admiral Beresford. Subse quently, the two Admirals exchanged calls on the flagships, according to the usual honors bb each came over the side. At high tide the American warship entered the harbor, led by the Kearsarge, which was moored south of the railway jetty, and within a stone.s throw of Nel son's old flagship, the Victory; King Ed ward's yacht, the Victoria and Albert, and the battleship Collingwood flagship of Admiral Hotham, the commander-in- chiei of Portsmouth. As the Kearsarge approached the jetty "attention" was sounded on the Vic toria and Albert, the Victor- and the other ship in the harbor, a courtesy which was returned from the Kearsarge's deck, or which were drawn up an Ad miral's guard of 50 marines, under the command of Lieutenant Colty. As soon as the Kearsargo was berthed Sir William Macee, the Mayor of Ports mouth, boarded her and greeted Admiral Cotton, saying: "The people of Portsmouth welcome j the American squadron and extend to its officers and men all the courtesies they can ofler." Admiral Cotton replied, expressing his pleasure on behalf of the United States. The departure of Admiral Milne, com mander of the Royal Yachts, specially detailed by King Edward to welcome the Americans, arrived on board the Kear sarge, and was received by Admiral Cot ton and Captain Hemphill. Admiral Milne expressed the gratification of King Edward at the arrival of the squadron, and' in behalf of the King welcomed it to Great Britain. Subsequently, Ad miral Cotton, Captain Hemphill and the staff officers visited the naval otficals, escorted by an Admiral's guard and a band. Army Worms at Walla Walla. A dispatch says: The army of worms which invaded the valley Saturday is turned tonight southwest and is about two and one half miles from town. The developments of today did not tend to lessen the strangeness of the visitation, but rather heightened it. Horticul- tural Inspector Frank B. Morse said tc j night the visitors were not army worms 1 nor tent caterpilere, but an entirelv new species he had never seen before and whose genus he did not know. Xo one else here seems entomologist enough to tell. The worms have a tort of thorny covering with sham nikf nmlmilino ami i Kmvh ft, -r. t: narrow stripes down -ach si lem-ar stomach.

J Uncle'cnm is in need of another ship! load of first class school marms to send i to the Philippine Islands. Over one' half of the previous shipment has nearly been exhausted bv the military officers I of the United States who married thei enterprising school teachers. It will be a good investment to send on another supply. At a special terra of court held upon petition of J. C. Baker who plead guilty to the charge of obtaining money under false pretenses, the said J. C. Baker was sentenced by Judge J. W. Hamilton to spend three years time in the peniten tiary. Baker is the man who forged a check for $35.00 and had it cashed by Wm. Schmidt a few weeks ago, and en gaged in all sorts of swindles through out the Willamette Valley puzzling the authorities as to his whereabouts. He was finally captured near Glendale in a wagon by Sheriff Parrott and Alva Bellows. He is a man of pleasant ap pearance and looks as though he ought to be doing something better than spending his time in the state baatile. PREPARING FOR WAR RUSSIAN MINISTERS AT PORT ARTHUR COUNCIL ASSEMBLED TO TALK OF DEFENSE OF PORT ARTH UR AND MANCHURIA. Ki.v Ciiac, opposite Niu Chwang, Manchuria, July 8.

Pokotiloff, recently Russian financial representative at Pe kin, General Dessinno, the military agent in China, the civil and military officials at Muekden, Harbin and Kirin, and the Administrator of Niu Chwang. The proceedings at the conference are enveloped in profound secrecy. It is popularly supposed that the Russian of ficials are considering war questions. The commercial foreign officers at Nin Chwang and Port Arthur believe that the possibility of war is increasing Eteadily. The Russian policy is believed to be to hold the Manchurian position, and to take no steps to avert hostilities with Japan, if it is assured that Japan will fight unaided . Looks Uks War. The Cologne Gazette's St. Petersburg correspondent telegraphs that, accord ing to reports from Vladivostok, the j Rsln War Miais'xr, Gescnl Kurop- 'atkin, on instructions from the Czar, ' ha? altered his itinerary and baa left Vladivostok su.'.derJy, going to kiko- lavsk, in AsiatL- R:s.-i l, on the north bank of the Amur, supposedly for the purposeof the inspccti-Ki of fortifications which would be especially important in case of a conflict with Japan and ontside their respective concessions,, which the Rusisans are not permitted' to do. The Odessa corresiwndent of the Daily Mail telegraphs that the seizure by the Kishinef police of copies of a printed appeal to the citizens to continue the attacks on Jews has created uneasiness' in official circles.

English Walnut Trees. . Te ro,rinP of English walnuts is to be an industry in Oregon for tu'3 tree ATS as Prolific here and has 88 fine flavo,ei1 nuts as aregrowa in Ens land. In the vicinity of Dundee in Yam hill county there are 97 acres oi walnuts, that being the largest acreage of an other locality in Oregon. There are many English walnut trees growing in the yards of Jacksonville and tho tree has proven itself a vigorous grower and a prolific bearer of very fine flavored nuts. At the price those nuts sell for in the market it would be a profitable investment to plant the hill land about Jachsonville with English walnuts, for to grow them would require no cultiva tion, spraying nor any of tho other ex pense that is connected with tho grow ing of fruit trees.
