HE DIED CURED.-There used to live
near Dunbarton, in New Hampshire, a
physician who had a reputation for
pigheaded stupidity.
A good story about this physician
used to circulate in the town. Accord

gig one day and pointed toward house
with Grape on the door.

Mr.. Brown is dead, for all you prom

the nomination. He did this, he stated, In
the interest of harmony in the democratic
ranks in Prince Georges county.
The club had passed ringing resoiu-
ton calling on Mr.. Wells to stand Tor the
nomination, when the latter arose and
stated that while in obedience to what ne
conceived to be the desire of numerous
constituents throughout Prince George s
and other southern Maryland counties
he had consented privately to become
candidate, he had decided on renecllon
that this honor belonged to some older
and ADLER man in the party's service. He
was deeply grateful for the compliment,
but felt that to allow his name to be
used would involve the county in fac
tional controversy.
The meeting was presided over by Mr..
VIM. r. Casey, with Mr.. w. Brooke Hunter

Mr. Wells leaves the field, so far as
Prince Georges county Is concerned, IN

Atchison, July 5.-The Atchison
coal shaft has reached the three-foot
vein of coal The coal was reached at
a depth of $3.50 feet, and is over three
feet in thickness It was discovered
in 1903 by drilling, and the core is be-
ing preserved at the State university.
In the sinking of the shaft many Oh
stacles were encountered, but all were
overcome. The work has cost $35, 900,
which has all been put up by the cit
liens E. w. Howe, editor of the
Globe, is president OF the company
The coal has been pronounced equal
in every way to Weir City coal. The
shaft was sunk half a mile from tho
drill hole, and the only fear has been
that the coal might have existed in

Uniform Bill Unpopular.

Topeka, July "A big fight is be-
ing made upon the proposed adop-
ton of uniform bill of lading by
all railroads. The objection to the
bill is that the railroads are seeking
to do away with the clause making
the carrying line liable for damage
to or for loss of shipment. The rail-
roads propose to charge regular
tariff rates if liability is waived and
20 per cent in excess of the regular
rates where the railroad assumes the
liability.
A subcommittee of the western clas-
sifieation committee will consider
the proposed bill of lading July 7.
Six days later it will be taken up for
final consideration at a meeting of
the committee to be held at Manitou,
Colo The commercial organiza-
tons protest that the adoption of
the bill of lading would result in an
increase of freight rates.

After a Lively Engagement They Cap

THEY PRESS STEADILY FORWARD
Russians Driven Out by Familiar
Jap Method-Reports to Emperor
How Japs are Winning BY Their
Usual Tactics.

Toxic, July Detailed reports Of
the capture of Fen-Shui pass on June
81 show that the Russians were driven
from an exceedingly strong position
dominating the Shi Mucheng road.
In this engagement the Russian losses
were again heavier than those of the
Japanese. The Japanese outmaneu-
vered the Russians by working around
the enemy's right flank and attack
ing him in the rear.
The Japanese advanced in three
columns. One was assigned to de-
liver frontal attack and the other
column which advanced upon the right
flank fought q separate action.
1t encountered three battalions of
infantry, six guns and two ma
chine guns. This engagement lasted
until sunset Sunday. At this hour
the Japanese bivouacked and renewed
the assault at midnight, when they
succeeded in defeating the Russians.
The Russians were reinforced with
three battalions and sixteen guns.
They assaulted the Japanese vicious
ly and endeavored to retake the po-
sition they had lost. They were re-
pulsed and the Japanese f1ankers
worked their way to the rear of the
main Russian position at Feng-Shui
pass.
In the meantime, the Japanese col
umn which had been assigned to
make the frontal attack met and rout-
ed 10000 infantry and cavalry posted
near Wenchapantsu. The Russians
poured a deadly artillery fire upon
the attackers and the Japanese artil-
lery secured new position and de-
livered a heavy cross-fire upon the
Russian lines of defense. The Japan
csc gained and retained possession of
the heights. The Russians left ninety
dead behind them on the heights. This
nunber of dead does not include those
found in the valleys. The Japanese
lost 270 men killed or wounded in the
thanking and frontal attacks.
The Russian troops who defended
Fen Shut consisted of eleven bat
talions of infantry. seventeen squad
rons of cavalry and three batteries
of artillery. The enemy had spent
three months in terrifying Fen Shut
pass. The barracks and other build
ings captured by the Japanese had
not been destroyed, but before re-
treating the Russians burned their
warehouses at Shantasu. The Rus
SLAMS retreated in disorder toward
Shi Mu Cheng.
