JAPs ADVANCE ON Y1N-Fow.
Follow Capture Of Kai-Ping With Hard
Fighting-Ignore Rains.

cablegram from Paris last night says:
A st. Petersburg dispatch characterizes as
puerile the action of the Russian general
staff in withholding the details Of such an
important event as the abandonment of
kaiping after a sanguinary engagement.
1t is impossible to conceal the fact that
there have been heavy losses on both sides
and that ten guns fell into the hands of
the Japanese. At the present moment there
is fighting along the whole line All the
dispatches show the prodigious activity of
the Japanese, who take no more notice of
lain than If 1t did not exist
A cablegram from ST. Petersburg last
night says: Lieut.. Gen Sakharoff in a dis
patch to the general staff. confirms the re-
port of the japanese occupation of sKai-
chou kai-ping). He says that the Russian
losses did not exceed $50 killed or wounded
Gen. Sakharoff adds that the Japanese are
on the Yin-kow road.
An important point in the official account
of the battle of Kat-chou is the statement
In Lieut.. Gen. Sakaharoff's report that the
Japanese are advancing along the coast
toward Yin-kow. The wording of the origi-
nal dispatch is not clear, and might read
equally well that the Japanese cavalry had
already arrived at Yin-kow. But owing to
the distance and other factors, this is not
believed to be the case, though it is possible
the japanese advance is in close touch with
the Yin-kow Outposts.

squadron north of Siuyen shows that the
Russian force is farther east in this region
than generally believed.
The absence of Tokyo dispatches admit
ting the loss of the torpedo boats reported
by Vice Admiral Skrydloff to have been
sunk by the Vladivostok squadron is taken
here to prove that the Japanese are con-
cealing losses where it is possible to do so.
The following dispatches have been re-
ceived at the Japanese legation from Tokyo
Gen. Oku reports that our second army
commenced operations July for occupy
ing kai-ping. After successfully dislodging
the Russians from their positions, we fin

effect that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the
best medicine for all Kidney Diseases,
and that he uses them with uniform
success in his daily practice.

minds of those who may not have the
pleasure Of q personal acquaintance
with this celebrated physician, DR..
Williamson has appeared before Mr..

A Royal Frost.

NJ. A. p: Queen Victoria, although
hot particularly fond OF the sea, was
Eery proud of her navy and showed
bnuch attention and kindness (espe-
eially when resident in the Isle of
Wight) to naval officers. Admirals and
captains were often invited to her ta-
ble, and junior officers were asked TO
entertainments and evening parties at
Osborne. A certain midshipman (now
h popular first luff") was once pres
ent on one of these festive OCCASIONS;

toned low, easy chair in another part

with her minister in attendance,
promptly desired him to request the
loung midshipman to come over and
tepeat for her d~electation the anecdote
(which had afforded so much diversion
10 her ladies'. The unfortunate youth
bbeyed the royal behest with much
inward perturbation, for the chief point
bf the story which he now found him
self called to recoun to the ear of
her majesty happened to lie in the fact
of his having once succeeded in making
u fool of his superior officer. AS the

MAY BE A RATE WAR.
Mutual Insurance Companies of South
Dakota and Old Line in Conflict.

Mutual Insurance OF Scutn
Dakota and Old Line in Conflict. :
Canton. s. D., Jan. 1S.-The mutual
Insurance companies of South Dakota
lind the old line companies doing us
lness in the state have evidently de-
Haired a rate wal that promises TO be-
Tome a sharp and interesting conflict.
Irhe board Of underwriters of the mu-
tual companies held a meeting in this
City the past W. days, simultaneous
ly with the session of the state board
OF pharmacy examiners, at which bus
mess was transacted behind closed
doors. 1t Is difficult to ascertain any
of the particulars of their proceedings
except that their meetings were at
tended by delegates from all the mu-
tual companies in the state except one,
and hat the proceedings were enthus-
iastic and at times rose into heated dis
cussions. The companies represented
were the Merchants Mutual of Red
field: the South Dakota Mutual of Abb
erdeen: the Commercial Union Of
Mitchell; the Retail Merchants Mutual
of Sioux Falls; the Druggists Mutual
of Lake Preston; and the state Mu-
tual Fire Association OF Canton.
Enough of the proceeding has been dis
closed to learn hat a sweeping reduc-
ton in the insurance rates was de-
clared, and in accordance with this fact
1t is thought here that there will be
lively times in the insurance camp
pretty soon.
The action taken by the mutual
companies at this meeting is said TO
be prompted by a 33 per cent. reduc-
ton in the rates recently declared by
the old line companies, which is be-
lieved to have been made in the hope
of putting the mutuals to flight. The
latter, however, declare that they are
firmly ~intrenched in the favor of the
business element of the state, and that
they are in a position to hold their
own against any kind of a fight that
may be declared against them by their
competitors. They say that there are
eight mutual companies in operation In
the state and that each one of them
has written a million dollars worth of
within the past twelve or
eighteen months, and that this is the
thorn in the flesh that has encountered
for them the sudden hostility of the
old line companies. Patrons of n In
companies in this part of the
state are looking for exciting times dur
ing his year among the insurance

MYSTERY OF BLANK BALLOTS.
About 5000 Of Them Cast at Each
Election in Greater New York.

New York Sum: At the last election
'2,100 citizens of New York county and
1920 voters in the other unit or
the Greater New York cast blank ball
lots. There are usually about 5000
blank ballots cast. 1t may seem pc
culiar that several thousand citizens
each year should take the trouble to
appear at the places Of registry TO an
ever the questions necessary for the
enrolment Of their names, to attend the
boiling places on election day, and all
Tor the apparent purpose OF casting a
blank vote, counting for neither party
nor for any candidate, when precisely
the same result could be attained by
semaining away from the polls for reg
1stration or voting.
A blank ballot, as defined by the
Election code, is one which contains
10 mark or indication whatever OF the
purpose or intention of the voter. 1t
j. a ballot which is returned to the
lection inspectors IN precisely the
Iame condition as 1t was given to the
ioter. Why do 1000 or 5000 persons
each year in New York go through the
unnecessary formality Of voting blank
5allots? 1t is one OF the questions
which no one has been able to answer,
though there are some explanations OF
il which are at least reasonable.
There are some illiterate men who
are timfd about eVealing their Hitter
hcy, and they avoid the risk of doing
so by voting blank. Then there are
citizens ~unconcerned in the outcome of
I'm election who are induced to register
Ind to vote. They do vote, but their
indifference to the result is revealed in
h blank ballot. There are, again. those
tyho become ratified in the polling
places and find escape from their per-
blexity by returping the ballot given
Them folded but unmarked to the in
%Ipectors. Three thousand blank votes
bn a total of 500 900 is one-half of /
ber cent. of the whole vote cast.

4 Fathers Good Advice to His Care-l
lass Dauohter. :

Here are some true words well said:,
A father talking to his careless daugh-i
ter, said: II want to speak to you
of your mother. 1t maybe you have
noticed a careworn look on her facet
lately. or course 1t has not been
brought there through any act Of
yours, still 1t is your duty to get up to-,
morrow morning and get breakfast, and
when your mother begins to express
her surprise, go right up to her and
kiss her on the mouth. You can't
imagine how it will brighten her dear
face. Besides you owe her a kiss or
two. Away back when you were a
little girl she kissed you when no one
else was tempted by your fever-tainted
breath and swollen face. You were
not so attractive then as now. And
through those years of childish sun
shine and shadows she was always
ready to cure by the magic of a moth
er's kiss the little, dirty. chubby hand
whenever they were injured in their
first skirmishes with this rough, cold
world. And then the midnight kisses
with which she routed SO many bad
dreams as she leaned over your rest
less pillow, have all been on interest,"
these long years. OF course she is not
as pretty and kissable as you are, u
II you a done your snare OF the WITH
during the past ten years, n con-
trast would not be so striking. Her
face Is more wrinkled than yours-far
more-and yet If o were sick that
face would appear more beautiful than
en- angels as it lowered over you,
watching every opportunity to minis
ter to your comfort, and every one or
those wrinkles would seem to be
bright wavelets of sunshine chasing
each other over the lear face. She
will leave you one OF these days.
These burdens, If not lifted from her
shoulders will break her down. Those
rough, hard hands, that have done so
| many things for you, will be crossed
upon her lifeless breast. Those neg
lected lips hat gave you your first

| those sad, tired eyes will have opened
in eternity, and her you will appreci-
