BIG SLAUGHTER REPORTED.
Reported Japanese Disaster
on Yafci
Special to The Reporter.
Dallas April 23 1004. Yes-
terday's roports ofa fiercio land
battlo on tho Yalu river aro ro-
poatod today and are considered
reliable.
The general drift of tho news
from tho front is that tho Japan-
ese have suffered a sovere de-
feat. 'The Japanese are said to havo
lost Beven thousand men that
number killed besides those cap-
tured.
' Official reports are anxiously
awaitod at St. Petersburg Tokid
Paris Berlin and London.
The Goose And Old Age.
Tho goose lives lays and pro-
duoes strong and healthy pro-
geny to a very advanced age
many cases being recorded where
geese are in full breeding at tho
age of forty years.
It is usually the rule to koop
the. old stock in breeding geese
from year to year and sell or kill
off the' young ones. An old
goose can not be eaten while the
young make the very best eating..
For this reason breeders have
learned to keep the old stock.
A Kansas man writing in the
Kansas Farmer gives the follow-
ing about a very old goose: "I
have a goose that was hatched
out in April 1852. Eggs were
placed under a hen and three gos-
lings hatched. When grown
they proved to be two geese and
a gander. Treated as pets by
the old lady who had them in
charge they were always very
tame and she- was never quite
ready to part with them so they
were permitted to live on un-
til their age unfitted them for
market. And besides as the
years wont by wo began to ven-
erate them and the younger
members of the family politely
doffed their hats when in their
presence. Thirteen years ago
tho gander died and five years
later one of the geese. The sur-
vivor is yot hale and hearty eye-
sight as good as over and in ev-
ery way appears just as nimble
and sprightly as her younger
associates." Farm and Ranch.
The Midland Lyceum Bureau
announces that Dr. J. C. Wingo
has been engaged to lecturo three
years under its auspices. Dr.
Wingo is well known in Abilene
and nearly all over Texas.
Sam Williams was in from near
McCamant today and called to
renew his Reporter and Dallas
News subscriptions. Corn looks
well out there and whpat is
heading out. "We would make
some wheat without any more
pain but more nioisture would
make a great deal more wheat"
was his comment on the situa-
tion. A shower foil this side of the
mountains this morning.
Mrs Ad. Price was quite sick
Friday but was better this morn-
ing. .
Mrs. Harston enjoyed a mess
of English poas for dinner yes-
terday raised in her garden
and they wore cooked to suit a
Queen's taste The reporter 'shel-
ter half who has been afok for
two months or more having had
