Desperate Battle in Progress.

ST. Petersburg. Aug. AT last tho
decisive battle of the campaign seems
to be in progress. Having completed
his enyeloping movement OF the Rus
sian position, General Kuroki has or
dered simultaneously an advance from
all points against Hal Cheng and Lao
Yang. Fighting is raging on both
fronts and still continues.
According TO KuropatRin's official
dispatch to the Emperor. the battle be-
gan for the possession OF the import
ant position at Simoucheng, which is
located at the juncture OF the Feng
Wang Cheng and Siuyen roads. Two
separate armies were launched from
the east above the two roads. while
n third. under General Oku. moved up
east of the railroad from Ia Tche Kiao
to try to cut on the Russian force there
from Hal Cheng.
A portion of General Kuroki's army
at the same time advanced against
General Count Keller's position at
lkhayuen, east of Lao Yang. trying
the favoTite Japanese plan OF out
thanking him ON the right. Still fur
ther north. on the Saimatsza-Liao
Yang road. the japanese moved for
Waiu heainst houtslatsc, twenty-five
miles from Lao Yang. At all points
the japanese employed artillery TO the
best advantage
General Kuropatkln's situation will
be desperate In the event OF his de-
feat. The keenest anxiety is felt at
the war Office for news OF the progress
Of the battle.
The general stan seems utterly
dumbfounded at the number of men
the japanese possess and consequently
Kuropathn's statement that they are
landing another heavy force at the
port Of New Chwang adds to the solici-
tude.

Triumphs of Surgery.

Wonderful things are done for
the human body by surgery.
Organs are taken out and
scraped and polished and put
back, or they may be removed
entirely: bones are spiced; pipes
take the place Of diseased sec
tions Of veins; antiseptic dress
5ings are applied to wounds,
bruises, burns and like injuries
before inflammation sets in,
which causes them to heal with
out matnration and in one third
the time required by the old
treatment. Chamberlain's Pain
Balm acts on this same principle.
It's an anteceptic and when APP.
piled to such injuries, causes
them to heal very quickly. 1t
also allays the pain and soreness.
Keep a bottle of Pain Balm in
your home and it will save you
time and money, not to mention
theinconvenience and suffering
which such injuries entail. For
sale by Bankers Drug store.
