On the whole, the past Week has been most favorable to the German arms, real battles being won by the Kaiser, and t he French -English alliance suffering many defeats. The strongly fortified city of Namur in Belgium has been captured by Germany, and the French, English and Belgian forces have been driven back. The Germans defeated the French in a battle on August 17 to 21 at Longwy, and the army of the German crown prince has pushed his opponents'many mires west of that city. The German army under the Duke of Wuerthemburg has crossed the river of Semois, completely crushing the French army which had marched to meet him. The river Semois and a greater portion of the -Franco- Belgian frontier are in the hands.of the Germans, and a con- centrated movement of the entire German forces towards Paris is now probable. The English and French have moved back into France, and will attempt no offensive movements, only undertaking to state. hold the German forces. Austrian operations upon the river - Drina, against Servia, have been abandoned. Japan has declared war upon Germany and the. ambas- sador of the latter nation was handed his passports. The Italian army is ordered to mobilize this week, and the tension is acute. It is expected that Italy will declare war upon AuStria next week._ k Japanese attack upon . the German fortifications in China is momentarily expected, and the defenses are being strengthened. The German governor has been greatly encour- aged by news of the success of his country the past week. After six days of - desperate fighting the Russians claim a victory over Germany at the Angeraph on the east Prussian' frontier. Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria is reported to be slow- ly dying. The Montenegrin troops, by a fierce bayonet charge, have driven back the first attempt of Austrian forces to cross the frontier. Norwegian troops are under mobilization to prevent any possible attack of Germany upon that nation. It is estimated that the German army that is to proceed against Paris will number no less than 200,000 trained men. On' Tuesday the voters of Madison county, for the first time in the his- tory of the county, nominated their candidates for office by the direct method and below is printed the dem- ocratic and republican tickets as they will probably appear on the ballot at the general election, Although there were no petitions filed for the county offices on the bull moose ticket names were written for a complete t'cket at i'vay ..qth the exception of county treasurer, and the progressives will have an oppor- tunity to vote their party ticket this fall in the county as well as in the The Madisonian has been unable to learn the names of the candidates that will appear on the progressive ticket, but from the incomplete re- turns received the two old parties will line up abotit as follows: Democratic ticket— For member of congress: JOHN M, EVANS. . TOM STOUT. Xior-associate justice supreme court: JAMES-M_CLEMENTS- For railroad commissioner:' „J. E. McCORMICK, For state senator: CHARLES C. HILL. J. A. A. MeALLISTER.

The new primary law provides that two justices of the peace and the connty_deik_and_recorder shall con- stitute the Canvassing board to can- vass the returns of the election, said canvass to be made within three days after the election. County Clerk and Recorder Warren H. Thomas has se- lected Justice of the peace J. G. Walker and Justice of the Peace Richard Peel to assist in making the official canvass, the results of which will be published in The Madisonian's next issue, althongh the ,indications are that there will be few changes from the above lineup. Theldg surprise was the action of the progressives in Pony in taking advant-Ue of the opinion recently handed down by Attorney General Kelly permitting, them to write in the names of candidates were no pe- titions had been filed, and if the can - didates accept the nominations the progressives will have a practically complete county ticket and will from present indications . poll a stronger vote than they aid at the last elec. : tion. is estimated that less than 30 cent of the registered voters cast th r ballot at the primary election ari • but little enthusiasm was dis- played in the results. • SCHOOLS FOR HOME MAKERS. e extension service of the Mon - state college of agriculture and mechanic arts has recently added a home economics department. This department was organized for you, that you might be given the privilege of sharing such opportunities 'as are offered in the home economics depart- ment at the college. Only a comparatively small per- centage of women .receive training in home economics, the science that makes more efficient l'iome makers. Succehaful home makers are those Who know this' underlying - principlea goss*ning the food problifm, - hew sanitation, home nursing and hygi- ene; who have an understanding knowledge of textiles, laundry work, 'home planning and care of 'children; who have learned the lesson of the proper expenditure of w.ealth, time and money; and who want, as Ruskin describes it, \A house that you can entirely enjoy and manage, but which you will not be proud of except as you 'make it charming in its modesty.\ It shall be the endeavor of the new department just organized to come directly to your community, if you so desire, and to bring to you the best that the college has to offer along the line of home economics training, the science of home making or right living. You will be given in a brief space of time what it would take you weeks or even months to learn at col- lege. You will be given information that college men and women have spent years of study in determining.

DeHart, state game and fish warden, has sent the following list of suggested instructions to hunters to Secretary Treece of the Anaconda Ap- glers' club. The suggestions are for the i3aying„ of hunters_ lost in the heavy timber. When a man is injured or lost and needs help, a signal by shooting should be given thus: One shot, an intermission of 10 seconds, another shot an intermission of 60 seconds, then a third shot. In case no answer comes, wait five minutes before giv- ing another signal. An answer to the lost signal is by one shot, and the reply by the person lost is also by one shot. Care slinuld be taken, says Mr. De Vert, to get the intervals between the shots correct. Counting 10 be- tween the first and second shots and 60 seconds between the second and third shots and 60 between the sec- ond and Wird shots is accurate, When- ever a shot is heard in the mountains, the person hearing it should count 10 and listen for another shot to deter- mine if it is a signal of distress. After giving the signal and receiv- ing an answer, the person lost should remain still and in the same place until he is found. Hunters shooting at game tibould try to avoid firing at intervals which would sound like a distress signal. - — •-• Mr. Dellart suggested that hunters clip these instructiOns from the news- paper and paste them in a notebook always carried or in some other con- venient place where they will not be lost, PORTLAND LIVESTOCK.
