It la estimated that aeveral hundred

of war from all parta of the Orient.

' Chinese.

Rome, via Frontier—The greater
part of the Italian army expedition la
now on the way to Tripoli.
A big contingent, comprising the
largest part of the total forces, sailed
from Naples and another fleet of trans-
porta left Taranto. The landing of a
whole army corps In Tripoli Is looked
upon aa one of the most difficult oper-
ationrof the war, deaplte the fact that
little fear of an attack by the eneipy Is
entertained. Accordingly, every pre-
caution looking to the aafety of the
troops has been taken.
The battleship convoy covers a
moving area one mile wide and five
miles long. Within this square the
transports are secure from any dan-
ger except the ever-present one of
the elements.
Once safely arrived off the Trlpol-
Itan coast, it Is expected that with a
favorable sea the troops can be land-
ed In two days.
The first expeditionary force
which left Naples October 6 was
landed at Tobruk. Tripoli. It con-
sisted of Infantry, artillery and a com-
pany of engineers.
All lights on the transports were
ordered extinguished at night and the
vessels proceeded In two lines a half
mile apart, being proceeded, flanked
and followed by warships, whlsh in
turn are protected on all sides by
smaller but faster craft.
Extraordinary police measures were
taken during the visit of the king
to Naples for his farewell to the
troops, because of fear of a possible
attempt upon his life which had been
threatened In revenge or the recent
suppression of anarchistic anti-mili-
tary demonstration.

were sold. The appraised value was
but $7,224, but the land brought $31.-
490. On another day, fifty-eight tracta
were offered and fifty-seven were sold.
The big crop of broomcorn In Har-
per county has brought banner prices
this year, and since the soil is adapted
to this crop, the land offered by the de-
partment has been In great demand.
In Bo Instance has more than one
tract out of tho total number offered
failed to sell, and on some days evsry
tract was disposed of.

Guthrie, Okla.—Holding that there
was no longer any Swanson county.
Judge John H. Cotteral In the United
States circuit court here refused to
take jurisdiction in the case brought
by the Dorsey Printing company to

were outstanding, and brought this
suit to prevent the county officials
from turning over their offices to the

the money due it.

the supreme court of the state had al-
ready ordered Ita dissolution and tbe
supreme court of tbe United States
bad refused to entertain jurisdiction.
