THE WHIPPING POST
Judicial Advocates of Such an Institu-
ton, Read This.

Nashville, Ind, Sept. SANDY
Moore, aged twenty-five, was taken
from his home, one mile southeast of
Evansville, and whipped numerically.
His assailants numbered about thirty,
all masked.
AS the wnitecaps burst open the
front door, Moore's wife met them and
begged them to be merciful. They told
her to return to bed, assuring her that
they would injure no one except her
husband. They then took Moore from
bed, gagged and tied him to tree.
After barring his back, they applied
the whips and continued the punish
ment until blood flowed from the
gashes they inflicted. When they left
they told him that any kind of punish
ment was too good for man who
would whip his wife, disturb religious
meetings and get drunk. Moore did
not recognize any of his assailants.

Lao Yang, Sept. 1.-The second
days battle commenced at dawn. The
Russians made repeated bayOnet adj
vances on the road directly south of
Lao Yang, where the Japanese ap-
preached from San Quaiship and Tao,
Smelling the positions in the Russian
lines until in the afternoon, when
the engagement, which was general
throughout the south and southeast,
narrowed to the main line. The Jap
anese advance on the southeast was
by way of tne Feng Wang Cheng road.
Immediately in front of Chiaofantun
the Japanese stubbOrnly attempted to
occupy a round-topped hill, which was
literally shaved by the Russian shells,
making repeated attempts the entire
day where apparently it was impossi-
BILE for anything to live. The can
nonading continued from this point to
the vicinity of Wangpaotai until even
ing without apparent advantage to
either side. The Japanese dropped
shells within two or three miles of the
railroad station and in the plain of
Wentshu mountain, which is the most
important eminence around Lao Yang,
but the Japanese abandoned aggres-
sion on account of the resistance they
met. There was cennon fire last night
and is expected every night. The va
rious casualties here include one Rus
sian war correspondent wounded, also
twenty-five Chinese women from Chi
aofantun, whom DR.. Westwater, the
distinguished missionary, is caring for
in the Chinese Red Cross refuge. The
days developments show that the Rus
slams are prepared for all emergencies.
Slow rain began to fall at noon, grad
ually Transforming the plain into
wilderness through which the wound
ed, in carts and walking, all night
made their way to the hospitals. Con-
sidering the scale of the days opera
tions, the number of Russian wounded
Is apparently small, while the jap
anese losses are believed to be great,
especially where they repulsed on the
south road. Chinese graves with
trees are being leveled about Lao
Yang in order not to interfere with the
defense. Developments are expected
west and northeast.

forces are variously estimated at FROM


i70, 900 to zoe, 900 men
The Japanese on Wednesday morn
ing attacked three sides of the Russian
position. One of the correspondents
also mentions Japanese movement to
the northeast of Lao Yang. showing
that the Japanese were undoubtedly
trying to work around kuropatkin's
rear.
One of the surprising phases of the
situation is the endurance of the men.
They have been engaged desperately
for two days after more or less severe
fighting under unfavorable conditions
every day since Aug "a. II would
seem that human endurance could not
persist much longer without respite of
some sort
The Japanese are using balloons to
locate the Russian guns and trenches.
They are also reported to be using
rnortars to drop shells in the Russian
positions. These are probably the
high-angle-fire howItzers which were
reported in action earlier in the week.
It is plain, however, that the Jap
anese are no longer enjoying the SUI
periority in artillery which stood them
in such good stead in the earlier
months of the war. It was then hill
fighting. and the Japanese mountain
batteries. in which arms the Russians
were deficient, told with deadly effect.
Now the contest is in comparatively
open country, where both the Russian
field-guns and the Russian cavalry can
come into more effective use.
Nemirovich Danchenko the famous
Russian war correspondent, describing
the battle, says: The enemy, drunk
with their former successes, attacked
from three sides, like mad men. When
they were hurled back fresh troops.
OF which they seemed TO have an in
exhaustible supply, were sent for

STATE MEETING
Of Elks at Anderson is Very Largely
Attended.

The Indiana State Lodge of Elks
is having largely attended meeting
at Anderson. The sessions will last
three days. The first meeting was
held yesterday and members of the
antlered tribe arrived on every train.
The delegation fro mthis city consist
ed of Elmer Eggemeyer, Grand Ex-
allied Ruler of the local lodge; Pleas
ant Unthank, Ira Swisher, Arthur
Burr, Lou Tiff, DIR. Parks, Will
Grubbs and DR.. Green.
While it has been understood all
along that Mayor John L. Forkncr
of Anderson, would be the only candi-
date for the presidency of the Safe
organization, Thomas Marks, of Wa
bash, has written to friends at An
derson stating that he is an avcwed
candidate for the place, and will make
a contest for the Office. A large and
energetic delegation is present from
Wabash to press the claims of their
candidate. Mayor Forkner stated
that he would make no contest for the
position, but would accept it if ten
dered to him without opposition. 1t
is argued by Anderson Elks that any
one has the right to be a candidate
for the office with the understanding
that the local lodge follow the custom
in recent years in the Elks organiza-
ton.

FATE OF THE WAR
May Depend on Gigantic Struggle Now
GOING On.

ST. Petersburg. Sept. with the
knowledge that the Russian and Jap
anese armies about Lao Yang are
locked in a death struggle, the tension
in st. Petersburg today is strained to
the utmost 1t is believed here that
the fight cannot stop short of the
crushing defeat of one side or the
other.
All reports so far are favorable TO
the Russians, though the suspension
of all news for many hours has been
exceedingly trying and has given rise
to several rumors, somewhat temper
ing the earlier enthusiasm. 1t is stat
ed offlcially, however that report that
the railway and the telegraph have
been cut north of Lao Yang is untrue.
The highest military authorities here
consider that the most critical stage of
the battle has not yet been reached,
and they believe that the fight may
continue for some time before either
side acknowledges defeat. This is an
important consideration by the light
OF which to interpret any immediate
news.
1t is thought here, in view of the
numbers engaged. the desperateness
of the assaults and the length of the
line, about seven miles, the losses in
the two days nghGng cannot fall short
of 1O, 900 on each side. Both sides are
straining every nerve, realizing that
the fortunes of war for a hole year
are In the scale. and neither side is
In the mood or the position to spare
men in the effort to achieve final
victory.
The battle of Lao Yang will proba-
bly rank one of the great sanguin-
arv battles of history. 1t is estimated
nv the general staff that the Japanese
armies engaged number seventeen div
isions of $4,000 men each. or. allowing
for ineficients, about 100000 men.
Each division has thirty-six guns. and
there are two independent artillery
brigades of 100 guns each. making a
total of about 500 guns

THEY RODE ANYHOW.
TYainmsn Could Not Got Rid Of
Tramps.

The trainmen on Union Pacific pas
senger No. Sunday night had hard
time with tramps out at the Santa Fe
crossing. About twenty Of them got
on the train there and would not be
put off. They climbed to the top OF
The coaches, over the pilot OF the
engine and on the rear Of the cars.
After putting them of several times,
one Of the tramps shot at the train
porter. The train finally got rid Of
Of them by backing out Of the spot
some distance and getting a good
start by the place where they were
congregated. When the train pulled
into Salina the coaches were loaded
on top with them. Some fifteen or
twenty were on but most Of them
were put of by the police and the
train porters. The trainmen took
the same means Of Kidding themselves
Of the pests at Salina as they did at
Abilene. They backed up from the
station and made 9 fast run by the
tramps.
