sas
Col. Thomas F. Cooke, captain In
charge Of the Iowa rifle team at the
national snoot at Fort Riley, in his re-
port to the adjutant general on the
work done at the meeting, puts it as
follows as to the good accomplished:
while it would be necessary to
spend great deal Of time and money
to develop team to that degree of pro-
ficiency which is necessary to win a
place in the national match, 1t is not
necessary in order to obtain the full
benefits of these meetings. No one
who is interested in rifle practice can
attend a competition of this kind with
out learning a great deal of the theory
and practice of shooting, and coming
away with the determination Of doing
better work in the future. This was
the effect upon the Iowa team. OF
course If we could have had a good and
thorough course of team work, and es-
pecially had the opportunities which
most of the others enjoyed of prac-
ticing upon the Fort Riley range, the
scores would have been much higher.
While 1t is desirable for Iowa to make
a creditable showing and develop
team of experts it is not the sole OBJ
iect of rifle practice. What we wish
to do is to bring up the efficiency Of
the entire body Of our state troops. I
believe that this trip will be Of great
benefit in reaching the desired end"

Lessen kuropatkin,s Power.

st Petersburg, Sept. 9.-Beside the
formation Of two fresh army corps rs
the first answer to the Japanese sue
cess at Lao Yang. the. Russian army
at the front will be reorganized, proD-
ably in the form of two armies in coi1-
mand of Gen. Linevitch and Gen. BarOf,
Kaulbars, respectively, with Gen. Kur-
opatkin as commander-in-c chief. Gen.
eral Kaulbars will go out with the two
army corps now organizing in the gov
ernments of Kazan, Odessa, wilma. and
Kieff. Gen. Linevitch has been ordered
by telegraph from Vladivostok to MulS-
den. This decision is due, in part,
doubtless to the growing unwieldiness
of the big force under Gen. Kuropat-
kins command, and which will he
largely increased by constant reil-
forcements.
Gen. EUROPA tkin heretofore has ham
died every detail of the vast organiza-
ton. The work is too much for one
man, and he is now almost broken
down under the strain.
1t is known that the emperor person.
ally is one Of Kuropatkin's strongest
supporters. and it is thought the gem
eral will in slll probability retain chief
command of the two armies. Kuropat-
kin, however, has been seriously critl-
cized by some of the emperor's close
military advisers, and it is possible
that he eventually may be superseded.

| Alleged TO be Shortage in Accounts at
Dunlap.
| Special to Times Republican.
Dunlap, Sept. 9.-The visit Of Unit
ed States postoffice inspector to this
city this week, the sudden departure OF
former Deputy Postmaster Henry Allen
and a number of remarks recently
made by Postmaster Enbody are facts
leading TO the rumor here that there is
d shortage in the cash drawer of the
local postoffice. Gossip is rife, but
definite information on the subject is
scarce.
Rumor has it that the books in, the
postoffice here are not correct; that
there is a shortage Of several hundred
dollars and that this shortage was dis
covered by an inspector, who is giving
the postmaster, Mr.. Enbody, time to get
in certain money orders before complet-
ing his report and forwarding it to the
department at Washington. The in
spector refuses to discuss the subject
and what little Mr.. Enbody has said
has thrown suspicion upon his former
deputy, Henry ALLEN, altho Mr.. Enbody
has made no direct charges against Mr.
Allen.
Henry Allen, the trusted deputy post
master, has left the city. 1t is said that
he has gone to Denver. He departed
about three weeks ago, and his family
followed him within a few days. Carlos
Caldwell, young man we'll known
here, was appointed by Postmaster En-
body to take Mr.. Aliens place and is
now in the office.
Deputy Postmaster Leaves.
Henry Allen is the son Of Rev. ID. A.
Allen, the we'll known temperance lee
turer, who was formerly pastor OF the
Methodist church here and has large
acquaintance thruout this part of the
state.
Mr. Allen was highly respected in
Dunlap and his resignation from the
postoffice came as a surprise. He had
no explanation to offer, but went quiet
ly about paying up all that he owed in
town. This completed, he quietly dis
appeared, leaving his wife to pack up
the household goods and follow.
A friend going to the Allen home the
day after the former deputy postmast-
er had left, found Mrs. Allen busily
engaged in packing up. In response to
a question Mrs. Allen began to weep
and said: ",rhey will try to make out
that my husband is guilty, but he is
not. He has to go away though, and
J suppose that he must take the blame.
But he is not guilty

BATTLE WAS sANeUiNARY.

Say Losses Were $4,000.
Mulxden, Sept. z (Wednesday). - A
correspondent Of the Associated Press
who just returned to Mukden with the
Russian rear guard, after having ac-
corapanied the army the whole time
losses of both sides were enormous. As
q moderate estimate he places them
ut $4,000. The fighting at Lao Yang
recalled in fierceness the sanguinary
battles of the American civil war. Kur-
oki,s flank movement east of the Rus
sian position precipitated the retreat
from Lao Yang. When the Russians
left Liao Yang the town was strewn
3 with corpses of the slain. The Japan
4 ose shell fire continued until September
4, when the bridges over the Taitse
were destroyed. The Russians admit
that their positions at Liao Yang were
too extended for their army to hold
The greater portion of the Russian for
ces crossed the Taitse during the night
of the second and engaged Kuroki with
+ two corps. The fighting on the first
day was favorable to the Russians, but
conditions changed at night time. The
Russian Infantry suffered heavily from
shrapnel and rifle fire. The fighting
was continued the 3rd and 4th, the
Russians successfully protecting the
east side of the railroad. When the
japanese approached Yentai they i'm
mediately commenced to attack it. The
Russians transport began to retreat at
midnight, September and was attack
2 ed three miles from Yentai on the NOR
ming of the 5th, along Mukden road.
The Russians pushed out two corps
and much artillery to protect their
right flank. The condition of the roads
rendered retreat slow, the, troops and
horses being tired out The japanese
seemed to lack enterprise and failed
to recognize the serious situation of the
Russians, the morale of their troops
having been severely tried. A Japan
ese army of forty thousand men is re-
ported to be west of Mukden and it is
considered likely in view of the con-
dition of the two armies. that hostili-
ties may be indefinitely prolonged, un-
less the japanese are able to push ON
and force the Russians to give battle.

DIVIDE kuRoPATKIN's ARMY.
Russians Said to be Planning to Less
en- the Commanders Power.


London, Sept. 8. An interesting
piece of war news this morning is the
report from st. Petersburg that kuro-
patkin has become the object of otti-
cial action and political controversy
and is likely to be seriously hampered
in his work i'm the future.
His army at the front is to be cut in
two and given to separate generals,
who for the time are to be under his
command The move, however, is ta-
ken as the beginning of the undermine
ing of Kuropatkin.
Accounts of the battle Of Liao Yang
are beginning to come in from the cor
respondents. They describe it as a
terrific and spectacular affair. in which
the Japanese attacked without counts
ing the cost and the Russians stood up
under attacks of unparalleled ferocity.
The battle was notable chiefly for
the effectiveness of the modern artsi-
lery used by both armies.
