DAVID AND QOL1ATH. The big, blowhard Russian govern ment has met with a crushing naval defeat, for Japan has without damage to herself practically destroyed eight Russian battleships and one armored cruiser. The Russian government has in her diplomacy with Japan act ted in a very dishonorable manner. "When it was Japan's time to send a communication to Russia that coun try "rushed" the communication from the little brown men. When it came Russia's time to answer they tried by all dishonorable methods to prolong the time and would set day after day to reply, with only the object of kill ing time. The last communication from Russia was overdue two weeks, and the Japanese government after giving notice that if the answer did not arrive at a given time, negotia tions would be broken off. Russia delayed her answer and Japan broke off negotiations by giving the Russian ambassador at ToMo his passport and' ordering her minister, at St Peters burg to return home. At once Japan engaged in the struggle and in two days time struck the Russian navy such strong blows that it is doubtful if the ships will ever again make a stand against the victorious navy. The startling news that three of Rus sia's disabled warships are sunk in the channel at Port Arthur and that the Russian shipslinside the harbor cannot get out, nor can those outside get in, will if true, work greatly in Japan's favor, because the ship3 out side can be easily destroyed and those inside cannot do any damage. This will allow the Japanese fleet to sweep every Russian vessel from ihe .East ern waters. The Russians have sev eral warships at Vladivostok, but they are frozen in the harbor and cannot get out, but they are being watched from the outside by a part of the Japanese navy, ready to give battle at tany time. If ever a nation deserved to be punished it is Russia, and it make3 us glad to learn that David is getting in his work on Go liath in fine shape. We know a little about that country, having been there many years ago, and our dislike is so great that we would like to see Rus sia beat back into Siberia by the Jap anese. So far the accounts of the loss sustained in the naval battles are from Russian sources alone, and when the truereports reach this country the damage may be farigreater than reported. A news (nspatch from -Chemulpo, Corea, says: that two powerful Russian ships were caught there by the Japanese navy returning from Port Arthur and that the Rus sians struck their flags and surren dered without firing" a single shot, That Russia has sustained a crushing naval defeat there can be no doubt from the note sent out by that gov ernment from St Petersberg to the European powers. The document seeks to justify Russia's acts of per fidy and to throw all the blame for the war on Japan. It is on the same line of whine and cry as a big, cow ardly bully would put up when the filling had been licked out of him by x little counter-jumper who was full of clear grit. THE UNITED STATES AND CHINA. Elsewhere will be found a news dispatch from Washington regarding the action this government is taking in the affairs of China. Although the note is addressed to European na tion it serves notice on Russia that Chinese territory must be inviolate. And by the sending of consuls to Manchuria while that province is oc cupied by Russian troops, it means that our consuls must be accepted and Chinese sovereignty over Man churia be acknowledged by Russia. Russia has attempted to occupy Man churia and has fortified town after town and built forts over the protest of China and wjthout any treaty or agreement. Russia has not only acted jn extremely bad faith, but has been a powerful bully on China, who could not prevent the out rage. Secretary Hay has made treat ies with China to open to this country the trade of Manchuria, and now he has virtually said to Russia, "Get out of the way," and Russia will "get" or will be "got" This is not very artistic language, but it can be un derstood by all. The United States as a whole ought to be proud of the diplomacy displayed by Secretary "Hay, for at this time it is the most l masterful etrokq of' diplomacy ever played in the .history of the .United Stales. In fact it is high, low, Jack and the game. The Czar of al the Russians has joined the faith cure cult and is now hard at work practicing Christian Science on the war vessels at Port Arthur. He refuses to believe that the Japs have torpedoed his vessels and the rifts in their hulks he says is. purely imaginary. While he has been praying in the Greek Cathedral at St Petersburg the Japs have sent his warships to the bottom of the sea. Taxation 1902-1903. The amount of state tax levied for 1902 amounted to $28,551.49. For 1903 $42, 548.12. Amount of school, tax levied for 1902 amounted to $25,955.00. For 1903 $34,205.35. Amount of county tax levied for 1902 $47,499.27. For 1903 $55,618.47. The total of the three items for 1902 amounted to $102,006.66. For 1003 $132,371.94. Total rise in the three items of 1903 over 1902 amounts to $30, 365.28. While the taxation value of resident property is about the same for 1903 as it was in 1902 values on land held purely for speculative purposes has been raised and it is this class of prop erty that has been made to bear its just proposition of taxation. The total value of property for 1902 amounted to $5,191,1S0, and the total taxation for state and county purposes $119,397.14. 1903 total value of property $5,561,847 and the total state and county tax $150,- 169.86. The Lie Passed In Church. "Your are a liar," was tho epithet that one minister of the Gospel hurled at another in the presence of a startled congregation at an afternoon meeting in the Corvallis Methodist church last Fri day afternoon. The minister who appli ed the epithet was Dr. I. D. Driver, and the man at whom it was directed was Rev,.. Mr. Handsaker, pastor of the Church of Christ in this city. The scene that accompanied the incident was dramatic in the extreme, and though the matter was kept quiet for a time, enough of the details have become public to arouse much interest in the affair. As near as can be learned the incident was the culmination of various minor at tacks that Dr. Driver has made on the doctrines of the Christian church with reference to baptism, since he began a "series of lectures in this city two weeks ago. The word was apparently carried to Rev. Mr. Handsaker that the faith of his sect had been assailed, and from his own pulpit last Sunday the matter was quietly referred to. At the afternoon service in question, Rev. Mr. Handsaker was present, and just before the close of the meeting he took issue with Dr. Driver. The debate was very brief, but it seems to have speedily assumed a 'personal character, when Rev. Mr. Handsaker is declared to have charged that, during a series of meetings recently held in Albany and by Dr. Driver, the latter was challenged to debate &e question of baptism with a Christian minister in Albany and that he refused. It was this charge that Dr. Driver met with a vehement assertion that Rev. Mr. Handsaker was a liar. The state- xnentis thatJRev. Frank L. Moore, pastor of the Methodist church in which the evangelistic meetings are in progress was quickly on his feet, and that he ex claimed; "You must not nse that language here, Dr. Driver." Corvallis Times. Apropos. pvith apologies to Mr. Kipling and the Cxar.l Said the big boy to the little, you just watch me play the game; X can drink and I can smoke and chew and swear; I can ran you out of eight, I can fight you day or night, I can cheat or I can play it on the square. Said tho big boy to the little. inst watch ont and mind your eye, Don't you try no little game on ME, I am pretty choice hot stuff and I never take a bluff, I'm the cock of all the poultry, don't you. see? Then he grabbed np all his marbles and he. thrust them in his pants, And be blew a cloud of smoke out through his nose, If you don't like what I do, why you go and lump it, too, And he strutted all around upon his toes. Then there came an awful silence which quite took him by surprise, For he thought tho kid would rather howl than fight; But he hit an awful welt right below the big boy's belt, And before he straigtened np was out of sight. Then he got one on the neck and another 'tween the eyes; He was smacked and he was pinched and he was cuffed ; And whenever he struck fair, why, the kid he wasn't there. And he lammed him in the wind until he puffed. So the kid he turned him over and he sat upon his neck And -ho cleaned out all the marbles from his craw ; When ho promised to be good, then upon bis feet he stood, And he ran off wailing loudly to his maw. R. W. Fnn. Russia continues to make it unpleas ant for the children of Israel. Tho Jew has done much to produce the civiliza tion of Europe, truthfully comment the Albany Herald. He has been the scholar when knowledge was rarey; the physician when quackery was universal, the money lender always. And the Jew is always Jthe Jew. His pride in his an cient lineage never fails. His exclusive instincts knows no lessening. But his claim on the gratitude of nations has re ceived little recognition. It ?b time that Russia followed the Example of oilier nations and behave better to this law abiding race. $180,245.53 TO BE COLLECTED IN TAXES FOR DOUGLAS Assessor Staley MaKes Exhit from the 1 Roll for 1903.

It iB but a simple statement of fact to say tnat Roseburg's 8 mart set have never spent an afternoon more delight fully than they did yesterday when Mrs. George E. Houck was hostess from two to six o'clock. Despite the fact that the weather was more than unusually incle mentin fact, the rain had fallen in sheets for hours and continued to do so throughout the afternoon, the parlors were filled to their utmost capacity, for Mrs. Houck has an established reputa tion as a hostess. Particular mention is due to the floral decorations, not only for their profuseness, but the artistic manner of their disposition. In both parlors vines of smilax and trailers of English ivy bunein graceful garlands about picture frames and over doors and windows. In the front parlor where "flinch" was played the color scene was pink and green. Fink and green crepe in narrow twisted bands was draped from the chandelier to each corner of the room and disappeared beneath a cluster of ivy. Pink carnations in un countable numbers, combined with as paragus fern, banked the piano and nodded from wall pockets and vases. In tho back parlor, "hearts" was the game and tho decorations were scarlet and green. Brilliant red hearts threaded on narrow satin ribbons, were carried from tho center to each 'corner of the room, garlanded on the mantle and window draperies, and the air was fragrant with the spicy ordor of tho scarlet carnations with which the mantle was banked. The prizes for both games were handsome cake plates, Mrs. I. Wollenberg winning in a tie with Mrs. J. F. Barker at hearts, and Miss Kate Buick, winning at flinch in a tie with Mmcs Fred Gettins and 8. A. Sanford. At the close of tho games a delicious lunch was served. The hoHtcua was assisted by her mother, Mrs. E Y. Moore, Mmes. J. F. Barker and Walter Hamilton and Miss Ethel Appelhofr.

Tho opening exhibition of tho Turner studies of art, at tho Armory last even ing was fairly well attended. A splen did program was rendered consisting of music, recitation and address by Hon. J. W. Hamilton. One of the most interesting features was the showing of the work done by tho pupils which has been prepared to bo sent to the St. Louis Exposition. It is sufficient ovidenco of the" efficiency of the present methods of common school education. Tho program opened by a selection from tho orchestra.

Tho price Wines was to pay was $200. and tho demurrer was sustained for the reason that the amount involved was too small for the court to have jurisdiction in the matter.
