Prattle, Aug. lft,— When the Boston bkzmship company's liner Tremont *iiW from here on Saturday morning the carried 14,000 tons of freight for tbs Orient, including a vast amount of stuffs for Japan. In the cargo *ere 280,000 sacks, or 14,000,000 Prands of flour, of which 100,000 sacks ingoing to China and the remainder n Japan. The vessel also took about i fl*°n^ of fieUl supplies for the army <“ Philippines, hut no arms or am- “uinition. an«l mother— they were friendless and homeless; but it was only one of the many similar instances hap|>eniug every day— only three little children left friendless and homeless; that was all. But it was a crucial moment in at least one life. Rev. J. G. Lernen was at that time pastor of a large church in Council Bluffs, la. This man, whose heart was large enough to find a place tor every unfortunate one, took these children into his own home, where tlrey shared the same hving, tender care that was bestowed upon his own little ones. It was not long lie- fore he learned of other children who had las*n left to the cold mercies of a selfish world. Moved with compas sion, he took the««*, also, to his already overcrowded home. Then came the test; money was needed. He had a few thousand dollars which he had saved up tor a rainy day. He little knew what the Master had in store for him; but he was obeilieut, and when the news came that other little help less ones had b«‘en left alone, fatherli'ss and motherless, and the command came to take these also, to the ordinary man, with his house filled to overflowing and a large congregation looking to him 10 be fed spiiitually, it would have s«-eined like an impossibility; not so, however, with this man; it was enough for nim to know that his Master approved of it and bid him to do it. As he stepped out upon His promises and obeyed the command to go forward, the way opened before him, and when he had exhausted his own competency, never doubting but that a way would be provided to supply theii needs, He who owns the cattle upon a thousand hills moved upon the hearts of His faithful sub jects to send of their substance that these little, homeless ones might be cared for. Larger quaiters became necessary, and they were secured. From a small beginning, twenty-one years ago, the Christian Home has grown until now about twe hundred and fifteen children aie cared for there, an«i two thousand have been placed in good Christian families. The real es tate consists of about twenty-five cot tages and other buildings, all owned by an organization which has been formed through the efforts of Mr. Lernen with a view of making it a per manent organization. The scrupulous neatness and order that pervades the entire institution, the loving salutation of ‘ ‘ Hello papal” that rings out from every quarter as he passes about the grounds, and the remarkable executive ability he dis plays in all the management of the affaiis of the Home, are sufficient to impress every visitor that it is no ordi nary man who has been called to this great and noble work. Children are taken here from any part of the glolie, and have the best possible care and training. You, my readers, wherever you may be, may have a |iart in this grand work. It is a labor of love in behalf of all homeless, suffering chil dren everywhere. The children are frequently adopted by Christian peo ple, hut are never allowed to go from the Heme excepting into Christian families who are properly vouched for and families of children are never sep- aiateil. The Christian Home is non- sectarian, but is heartily endorsed and supported by all denominations. It take» children from every state and it Is not a local affair, but belongs to the j world. We have given this brief description of the Christian Home with the hope that all who raed it w ill become inter ested in its welfare. If you have money which the Master desires you to use for such purposes, send it to this Home. There is no institution that is more worthy of your gift than this. They publish a valuable paper called “ The Word and The W ay;” sub scription price, only twenty-five cents per year. We assure you that if you w ill subscribe lor it, you w ill get more than yonr money s worth, and we hope you w ill forward at once twenty-five cents or $1 for yourself and three friends. Volumes might be written about this Home did space permit. For further information and proper description of the work, address Chris tian Home, Council Bluffs, la. A Friend of Homeless Children. M a s s a c r e I s re ared . London, Ang. 13.— James Bryce, member of tho house ol commons, has received a telegram stating that the Kurds are invading the province of Bayazid, and a massacre of the Armeni ans is feared. Five hundred Armeni ans fled to the Russian frontier and were pursued by Turkish soldiers and Kurds. An insurgent band came to the assistance of the Armenians, and heavy fighting ensued, many on both sides being killed. Cossacks also fired on the Armenians and afterwards plun dered them.

I Negotiations liegnn today between the retail Hutcbers’ and Groceta’ associa tion with representatives of several labor unions, which w ill undoubtedly be involved in the strike, shomd it Ire prolonged much longer, resulted to night iu the appointment of a commit tee composed of those who attended to day's meeting, to negotiate with the packers tomorrow morning in an at tempt to bring about a joint meeting between the employers anil the striking unions. I t was the sentiment of ail who attended today’s conference that should the meeting lie arranged be tween the two opposing interests, a settlement satisfactory to both sides could be realized. Meantime, Samuel Gompers, presi dent of the American Federation of Labor, has been summoned from New York to see if he cannot accomplish something through mediation. Mr. Gompers will arrive here Sunday morn ing. The packers tonight declined to make any comment on what, if any success might be expected from tire meeting. “ We cannot very well discuss this matter now,” saiil one of the packers representatives tonight. “ We now have out affairs in a better condition than at any time since the strike was declared, and as for myself, I am un able to see on what grounds we could meet the strikers.” Under the direction of Mayor Har rison, who was urged to take the step by a committee composed of labor leaders and several aldermen, an inves tigation into the Banitary conditions of tlie various packing plants where Btrike breakers are being housed w » b begun today. Several of the plants were visited, but no flagrant violations of the law were found. The investiga tions w ill be continned. Tonight the packers sent a com munication to Mayor Harrison, deny ing that they are keeping lodging houses not in compliance witli the or dinances. ARMY IS A W A Y . T h e R u s s ia n s are R e tre a tin g o f Liao Y a n g . N o rth 8t. Petersburg, Aug. 12.— Again the chance of a decisive battle between General Kuropatkin and the command er of the Japanese army seems to be disappearing. According to a state ment issned by the genera! staff to night, rains are again falling over a wide area of Manchuria with the pros pect of impeding operations, but even more important is the information reaching the Associated Press tonight from un exieptional source that the Japanese have once more delayed too long. General Kuropatkin has now withdrawn the bulk of his army safely north of Liao Yang. According to this information, the Japanese have about 300,000 men in the armies operating against Kuropat kin, rendering it too hazardous for him to risk a general engagement. The gen eral staff has no information bearing on the reported presence of a large force of Japanese at Paithuhi, a place that can not be located on available mapB. The report agrees, however, with the gen- era 1 tenor of the information received by the Associated Press and here given, that General Kuropatkin is already re treating north of Liao Yang. The advantages of the new Japanese base at Nin Uhwang in greatly simpli fying the problem of provisioning tlieir army is fully realized. The rumor that they are moving up towards Sim- intin, a short distance west of Mnkden, from Niu Cwang is generally believed. The appearance of the Japanese on the other side of Mnkden would almost pocket General Kuropatkin and he re solved to accept battle with his whole army at Liao Yang. W h a t P o rte E x p e c ts o f R u s sia . Constantinople, Aug. 12.— The porte has definitely accepted the assurances of Russia as to the character of the vol unteer fleet vesaels seeking to traverse the Dardanelles. In a note to the Rus sian embassy agreeing to the exit, of the steamers the porte emphasizes the fact that its understanding of the Rus sian statement is: Vessels of the vol unteer fleet shall not carry arms or mu nitions of war; they shall fly the com mercial flag throughout the voyage, and shall traverse the atraits separate ly at stated intervals. C o n d e m n s the T h ea . Vladivostok, Aug. 12.— The prize court today condemned the German steamer Thea, which was sunk by the Vladivostok squadron off the coast of Japan, July 24, and declared that the Russian cruisers were justifierl in sink ing the vessel. Evidence was produced that the Thea was chariere«! by a Jap anese company and that since Marrh 26 she had been engaged exclusively in the Japanese trade between Japanese porta. B a n d i t s S u r p r is e R u s s ia . London, Aug 12 — The Tientsin cor respondent of the Standard says that 3,000 Chinese bandits attacked the Rus sian camp in the Tieb Pass Auugst 2. The Russians were taken by surprise and many were killed. that there s no change in the situation around Liao Yang, it is evident from the special dispatches to the Associated Press from Liao Yang and Sintsintin that the Japanese are continuing their preparations for a flanking movement w hich may possibly alter the nature of the expected engagement at I.'ao Yang, and which may also further delay the crucial development. The conentration of a strong Japan ese forces at Siamaize indicates a., ir. leution to prets forward tc den, and if possible c . nications and . _i l i i :1 Kam- putkin from retiring noriiiward. Gen era) Kuropatkin is evidently aware of this move, and is sending out recon- noitering parties from Sintsintin along the Saimatze road. This is shown by the slight en-ounter with a Japanese outpost within 30 miles of Sintsintin. The Japanese are also bringing strong forces from Yinkow. Column marching from Niu Chwang with the evident intention of flanking Liao Ygn,, fr0m the westward, included 10,000 Chinese from the ieland of For mosa, who are Japanese subjects. The Associated Press correspomlent at Liao Yang points to the alarming character of this develoment, and { paid that the example may prove contagious. I f the local Chinese are induced to join the Japanese it w ill be impossible to dis tinguish the Formosan and Manchurian Chinese. This revives the spector of Ch'nese embroilment, with the more remote possibility of foreign entangle ments. | There is considerable anxiety re garding the presence of General Yuan Shi Kai, commander in chief of the Chinese forces, anil General Ma, with strong foices of troops in the north, lest, should a convenient opportunity present itself, they would be tempted to overstep the bounds of neutrality.

T h e “ G o ld en B e lt .” Kansas grows more and better wheat than any State In the Union. The crop of 1901 was 90,000,000 bushels; the crop of 1903 was still larger. Thla is one-seventh of the entire crop of the United States, one-thlrtleth o f the world's wheat crop. No wonder a hot wind or a rain in Kansas causes a flurry in the wheat pit of Chicago.
