ROSEBURG, OR. R Pitfalls of the City. Exposition The W. C. T. U. is putting forth a special work through tho purity depart ment this year at tho World's Fair City. Only a email number of Christian men and women realize tho tremendous need of this work in behalf of tho defenseless young women of our nation. A correspondent writes that saloon keepers are banded together and mak ing an united effort to bring SOOO to 5000 more girla to tho c'ty this year. "Three hundred more saloons havo recently opened there. WitlfTio financial limit, they are calmly determined to carry out their relentless purpose. This vicious organization, whose root? havo pierced the entire mold of tho famous city. should arouse every Christian to make a ceaseless and earnest effort to save as many girls as possible from their clutch es. "Hundreds of girls are on their way to St. Louis in search of honest employ ment. Their human enemies are awaro of this, and havo sent out agents in everv lanp city to lurk .about pecret placse, to entrap the innocent and to haunt street car transfers in the city suburbs. They are hundreds of shad owy waiting places in our large cities, where many a victim's screams have been stilled by the moral brigand's hand as they dragged her from safety, inno cence and purity, through no fault of her own; while on either side loom.'d saloons, behind whose darkened win dows men reeled and blasphemed. "Tho World's Fair City is hollow with pitfalls on every hand. The great rail roads do not warn their passengers that danger lurks there on every highway a id byway. The newspapers do not pry out against it, for reform is not op- ular. How will the great army of work ing girls know that they ought not go to St. Louis unaccompauied by a true and rusted attendant", unless good friends are there to meet them? Any girl had better starve, than enter thjs modern Sxlom without friends. 'Girls in search of houe.-t employ-) ment, who contemplate going there. hould bo informed that keepers of in famous houses have a capital of $300,000 to secure new victims for their nefarious business. There are miles and miles of evil dens that cover their dark deeds with a sign, 'Restaurant,' or 'Girls wanted to work.' Many an innocent airl has entered these apparently re sectable places, only to be druggrd and dragged to a living death. A school teacher was rescued roeently, through the efforts of an undo, who found her in enforced slavery. We are reliably informed that Russian and Japanese girls are being imported by thousands. '.May God move every Christian heart to reach out a helping hand to these helpless ones." Headquarters Republican State. Com mittee. Portland, Oregon, April IS, 1004. Editor IIosebckg Plaindkaleb, My Dear Sir: To the end that the first gun fired off this Presidential year may be distinctly heard in all the tatca of our Union as Oregon's endorse ment of President Roosevelt and his policies, as well as that the principles of the Republican party as enunciated in the platform adopted last Thursday by our Mate convention may be nnprece dentedlv sustained bv the voters of Ore- con next June, it is earnestly urged by the State committee that the press of the State call and keep calling upon the voters to not neglect to vote. The State beine safely Republican, many of the voters will forego their franchise unless prompted to an exercise thereof by the prcsii; and being a firm believer in the efficacy of printer's ink, I am greatly in topes that you will find it congenial to assist the State committee in its man agement of the coming campaign. Your obedient servant, Fiiank G. Bakkr, Chairman Repub. State Com. Eugene Fire Bugs. Two men, giving their names aa Wil liam and Harry Wilgate, wero arrested Monday morning, at Eugene, during the fire in which a laundry and a black smith shop were burned, charged with burglary, having been caught stealing several pairs of trousers from F. L. Poindexter'a dye works near the scene of the fire. They were taken to jail and on the way one of tho men intimated to the officer in charge that he knew how the fire originated and would tell if given his liberty. Of course the officer refused to let him go, and locked him up. The examination of tho men was set for Wednesday. The Wilgates seem to bo hoboes, and said they arrived in Eugene on tho night of the fire. As the fire was un doubtedly of incendiary origin, many believe that these men are the cuilty persons.

PETERSBURG REPORT SAYS ' JAPS HAVE LANDED FORGE SKIRMISHES ARE CONSTANTLY OGGURRING ALONG THE YALU BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO DECISIVE ACTION. London, April 20, 2:02 p. m. A dispatch to the Central News from St. Petersburg says it is reported that a Japauese force has lauded near Niu Chwaug. Skirmishes are Frequent Seoul, April 20, 11:35 P U1- ue Japanese au thorities here admit that constant skirmishing occurs between the opposing armies on the Yalu river, but they claim that no decisive action has taken place up to date, though news of such an engagement is ex pected at any moment. It is estimated that the Russians uow have 50,000 men on the Yalu River. The wildest rumors are afloat, largely from Core au sources which are absolutely unreliable. Off for the Port. NiuChwaxo, April 20 The correspondents of leading French, Italian and British newspapers, of oue American newspaper and of the Associated Press, have been permitted to proceed to Mukden. They left here today. United States Consul Miller entertained the cor respondents at the consulate previous to their depart ure.

Russian troops to he number of 1000 are reported in occupation of Yong Can, in Northeastern Corea. A detachment of 40 Cossacks has appeared for a second time at Sung Jin (about 150 miles north of Gen San), where they burned t he Japanese settlement and took possession of the post and tho telegraph offices. As there are no Japanese troops present, the Corean officials of Sung Jiu were friendly to the Russians. Another detachment of 75 Russian soldiers has advanced as far south as Puck Chyong, about 70 miles down the coast from Sung Jin. Japanese Are Sorry. London, April 20. The Japanese Legation here is greatly interested iu the announcement of Viceroy AlexiefPs resignation. The opiuion is expressed that if he had resigned six months ago there would have been no war, but uow that hostilities are in progress, the Japanese would have preferred to see Alexieff re tain control.

Andrew Carnegie, is much gratified ovc er the reception given by the Dress and public to his $5,000,000 fund for merican heroes, says an American dis patch from Aix-les-Bains, France. The peoplo of Newfoundland, Can i, and tho United IStates are all Americans," he said, "and they should together as brothers. Mv hero fund includes all three countries. Newfound landers were omitted at first through an overslcht. That, however, has been remedied, for I havo cabled ordering the ttie stole to bo included. Were I a newspaper man I would consecrate mv pen to advocating the fraternal union of Canadians, Newfoundlanders and the people of the United States, who are all. Americans. "New forms of heroism have been rolved with the growth of civilization. Heroes in the past have been those who killed or mained their fellow man, while modem forma of heroism were not then recognized. I 'Tho heroes of barbarians all had red hands. We want heroes of civiliza-! tion those who save and do not kill : j thoso who help and do not hinder. I hope the fund will bring out the beet I there is in our civilization. The fund is confined to heroes of peaceful vocations The Governments will take care of those injured, and the dependents of those lieu in the army and navy. "Although pensions promote heroism. constructive and not destructive hero- mis found in nurses.who volunteer in epidemics, in millhands, railroaders. irenien and sailors. Our age is crowded with noble deeds. Those heartilyhonor- tend to counteract the materialistic tendencies of the age and give direction and inspiration in the way of heroic life. mows, orphans and all those who give heir lives partly and wholly for others hould be provided for." Asked about the heroism of the juen ho sacrificed their- lives to save the battleship Missouri recently at Pensa cola, Mr. Carnegie replied: "Their heroism was magnificent, but doe not come within the scope of the hero fund, because the Government pro- ides for the dependents of these men. evertheless. should a fund be opened for the Missouri heroes, I would be glad to subscribe a thousand dollari. "Nobody suggested the hero fund to me. I had long thought of it. It is now my favorite philanthropy, probablr be cause of its nature and because it is mv latest child. I am receiving many tele grams of congratulations from America, and feel greatly encouraged that the great press of America should approve the gift and help to develop the spirit underlying it." , Memorial Resolutions.
