ADVANTAGES OF
ELECTRIC LIGHTS

are so apparent that we are almost
ashamed to talk about them. They
stick right out like the nose Of your
face, but, as Marcus Aurelius
might have said, if he had thought
of it, * man blow not his own
horn, the same it shall not be
blowed. And our Office boy says
he'll be blowed if he can see why
we should hide our light under a
half bushel.
Ro tc save argument we are will
ing to admit that there is no light
that even approaches the electric
light IN quantity Of light radiated
all around the room.
The quality of the light you can
see for yourself. Electric lights
give strong, clear, vivid write
light. That is what is demanded
today, pure, white light and plenty
of it.
If our points are not clear to you
it is undoubtedly due 10 the fact
that yonr light is poor. If you
will put in full equipment of cleo
trio lighes the whole subject will be
made beautifully luminous and we
will have. peace in the family.

Their Attack

London, Nov. 29.-+No further news
has from Port Arthur been received be
yond reports from Shanghai that the
storming of the Russian stronghold
contilJles.
Very few of Admiral Togo's ships
are now blocking Port Arthur.
Generals Kuropatkin and Sakharoh
are sending daily long detailed &C.
counts of preliminary fighting, which
may turn out to be the beginning OF
another great battle, deciding the fate
of Mukden,
With the Russian forces at Shenk-
ing. The attack by the japanese upon
General Rennenkampff' position on
November "a resulted in three days
fighting at the Tsinkhetchen, near Da
pass. Though the japanese have been
repulsed, the fighting still continues.
The japanese have succeeded in plac-
ing several big siege guns in position,
with which they will be able to SER
iously harass the Russians.
The latest estimate of the disposition
Of the japanese forces is as follows:
One brigade of infantry and five regi
ments of cavalry, with second line
of one brigade, between Bandioza and
the Hun river; two divisions of infan-
try between Bandioza and Linshinpu;
one division between Linshinpu and
one division between Lao
diaouza and Chinsandiza; enc division
between Chinsandiza and Kosangau;
one brigade between Kosangau and
Sunmuga, with a second line consist
ing of one brigade and two divisions,
one division at Bepupza; one brigade
occupying the country southwest of Be
pupuza as far as Chingizi, with one
brigade of infantry and one of cavalry
rs a second line. Behind the main
army are one brigade of infantry sta
Toned at Liaoyang, one at Yentai and
)ne at Tsinkhetchen.
Tokio.-It is reported that the at
ack against 203 Metre hill by the Jap
lnese light artillery is succeeding. 1t
S estimated that 80 per cent of the
work of the occupation of Port Arthur
will be finished with this height in the
'osession of the Japanese. No part of
he harbor of Port Arthur will then be
concealed from the japanese.

Russion Sharp
shooters Active

Mukden, Nov. 30 The activity of
the Japanese against General Rennen-
kampff's front continued November rs,
eliminating before noon in one of the
severest fights in recent weeks. The
Japanese retired only about 900 yards,
but after the fight the Russians col
lected 232 Japanese dead, all from the
Seventh and Ninth reserve brigades.
The Russians also captured a large
quantity of rifles, entrenching tools
and Red Cross stores.
Night sorties continue. Russian
soldiers prove very adaptable to this
work, and can go all around the Jap
anese in woodcraft.
On the night of November % a party
of Siberians sharpshocters went out
and captured every one of the guards
in front of the Japanese purity cutting
firewood without arousing the suspic-
ion Of the Japs that anything had hap
pened.
On the evening of November 81 a
party of Russian volunteers practically
out thetvlilage of Nanganza, situated
a., ollC lOOb VI lIlO uOuDlC Hill
opposite Poutilloff (Lone ssTree) hill.
The Japanese had been occupying the
a bdilding in this village every night
and hampering the Russian sharp
shooters. Attacking the village in the
rear, the Russian volunteers drove the
out japanese from the village early in
the evening, mined the building and
retired. The japanese subsequently
reoccupied the whole village destroyed.
The RUSSIAN losses during the whole
affair were three men killed and Is
wounded.
Chinese report that the main Japan
ese force is located at Shilikhe, on the
railroad, 10 miles suoth of Shakhe, but
it is impossible to estimate its number.
The Japanese, at close quarters, es-
pecially during the night fighting,
usually use Russian words and phrases
with the object of misleading the foes.
General Linevitch has especially
warned the troops on this point.

TYPHooN ADDS TO HORRORS.
Shake River Armies Fight the Cold
and Each Other.

Mukden, Nov. pa terrible storm
was experienced here on Saturday and
residents expect a repetition of such
weather, coincident with typhoons off
the coast, until March. The tempera-
ture now is below freezing. The in
habitants of the leaky huts are in a
pitable condition.
The war has reached such a phase
that the interest of small skirmishes
is very slight. Everyone has been look
ing for a big battle, but though rein
forcements continue to arrive and both
sides continue to entrench, a general
engagement apparently is as far off
ject
number of commanders are drill
ing their men as in time of peace
More interest is expressed here in
the fate of Port Arthur and it's ability
to hold out against the Japanese than
in what is happening at close quar-
ters.
There have been the usual small
skirmishes. Vilmanstranskis sharp
shooters took a Japanese advanced po-
sitiop Saturday, driving out the Japan
csc at the point of the bayonet. The
latter left 20 dead, and the Russian
loss was three. The Japanese attack
ed the Russian lines at several places
taking advantage of a snowstorm on
one OCCASION but in all cases were re-
pulsed.
The village of Erdago continues to
be the scene of frequent small fights.
The Japanese made a tentative attack
there on November Is, but did not at
tempt to push home the attack in the
face of Russian artillery fire.

Murder Mystery
Is Exposed

Sundance, Wyo. Nov. 30.-The mys-
terry of the disappearance of James
Grarett, a prominent ranchman, on
October 10 has been cleared by the con
fession of Willie Erickson, 10 year
old boy. Erickson confesses that on
driving off calf belonging to the Err
icksons, he was met by Otto Erickson,
and commanded to release the calf.
Garrett, in reply, knocked Otto from
his horse and attempted to shoot him
with rifle. The boy was too quick
and shot Garrett three times. Garrett
fell from his horse, still alive, and the
Erlcksons dragged him into some
bushes and there cut his throat with a
knife, despite his appeals for mercy.
