RUSSIAN LOSSES FRIeHTFUL.
German Correspondent Tells of Terri
BILE Slaughter.

Berlin, Oct 22-Colonel Gaedke,
war correspondent of the Tageblatt,
has telegraphed to his paper from Muk-
den as follows:
Have been unable to telegraph for
two days owing TO the absence of the
censor. Both armies are much ia
tigued. They occupy positions in close
contact. Only an occasional shot
breaks the stiffness. A general Rus
sian attack appeared TO have been
planned for the night OF Oct 90 but a
freshet in the Shakhe river prevented
1t. The roads and fields are drying
slowly. The Russian losses were fright
full. Single regiments have as few as
500 men left. The Viborg regiment, OF
which Emperor. William is honorary
colonel, had 20 officers and 800 men
killed. The feeling is accordingly
grave. No end is visible of the CHASTITY
slaughter"
mo skill in leadership can bring
victory in the present struggle, but
only the firmer will of the commander
and his troops. The wounds are much
more dangerous now than formerly.
This is partly due to the use of the
old style Japanese rifles, with their
fiattened, copper covered bullets, and
partly to the thicker clothing of the
soldiers. | have private news from
Port Arthur that there is abundant am
munition for two months and proyi-
sions for much longer period. No
body in the fortress thinks ii can ever
fall The Chinese report barbarous
cruelties on the part of the japanese.
The mere possession of Russian money
Is dangerous at Newchwang."

TRAGEDY REWlLS BQa.EsTlC SCAGDAl

Peoria, H., Oct. 22.-Mrs. Neln
Thomason, wife of former prominen
real estate dealer of this city, died a
Lacon as the result Of injuries received
in sensational encounter with Rich
ard and Jennie Higgins, children o
John G. Higgins, prominent membel
of the board of supervisors of Peoria

him TO meet her in the depot of the
| Rock Island in this city Higgins was
| at st. Louis and his son opened the
letter. The missive asked Higgins tc
be in the waitingroom. When she ar
rived she was confronted by young
Higgins and his sister. What took
place is mystery, as only the three
and an uncle of Higgins were present
Some time later, however, the woman
asked G. A. Brant, the ticket agent, to
assist her to the train. He did SO and
when she was gone discovered the
floor OF the waitingroom covered with
blood. The woman fingered in great
agony at her home in Lacon for sew
eral days, when she died.
Higgins Is under arrest on a state
warrant charging him with murder.
The case has created a sensation by
reason OF the prominence OF the par
ties concerned
Mrs. Thomason had laid in coma
tose condition since Wednesday night,
rallying enough TO speak word or
two at times. During her last hours
she vomited much blood. Her body
Presented Horrible Appearance.
Her lip was severed, both eyes black
ened, one shoulder displaced and her
back was covered with bruises, evi-
IDENTIFY inflicted with a boot or heavy
instrument. Young Higgins claims the
woman attacked him and that he sim
ply knocked her over a chair. He is
twenty-siN years old and his sister is
twenty-seven years of age
The connection of the late Detective
William f. Murphy, who was muir
dered under such sensational circum-
stances in this city last June, proved
startling development of the case

that on the night he was killed that
Murphy was shadowing John H. Hig-
gins at the instance of the members
of the family. He was called from
this duty to investigate a burglary on
Second street. AT 3 O'Clock that night
he was killed Either that night or the
following one Richard Higgins says
that Mrs. Thomason called up the
house by telephone and said.
Murphy was a good friend of yours. |
Well. he got his tonight. Kierans Ca |
fellow detective of Murphy is your
friend, too. He will get his next"
Higgins says that his family had
made frequent efforts to break up the
between his father and |
Mrs. Thomason and had offered her
large sums Of money but she had al |
ways refused. He declares that she |
called up the residence by |
telephone and taunted them upon their |

RIVER SEPARATES ARMIES
OPERATIONS ON BATTLEFIELD
BELOW MUkDEN CONTINUE
AT A STANDSTiLL.

st. Petersburg, Oct 22.-The two
armies face each other across the
ShaKhe river, but operations continue
at standstill. The heavy fog which
hung over the plain has been burned
up by the sun and there has been some
desultory artillery firing from some of
the Russian batteries, but nothing i'm
portant. One of the Associated Press
correspondents says the Japanese did
not reply, indicating a possible short
age OF ammunition or a desire to con-
ceal the location of their guns.
The war Office has no fresh news ex-
cept a list of the losses of General
Ekk's Seventy-first division of the
Fifth Siberian corps and General Mo-
razoff's First division of Lieutenant
General Dambowski's corps Each
lost half dozen officers. The official

JAPs USED MACHINE GUNS.
Every Man of Russian Force of Two
Hundred Wounded.

Mukden, Oct. 22.-Every man of the
200 Cossacks commanded by Captain
Tourgenieff, who on Tuesday night re-
connoitered the Japanese left south
westward and who near Sandohu un-
expectedly encountered a good sized
Japanese force with machine guns,
was wounded and every horse except
Captain Tourgenieff's was hit by the
bullets from the Japanese machine
guns. Tourgenieff, though mortally
wounded, carried off one man behind
his saddle. while others managed to
creep back to camp. But, as already
cabled, not one man was Killed on the
field.
There is the greatest fear on the
part of the Russian wounded of falling
into the hands of the Japanese, the
Russians being convinced that they
torture their prisoners.

BATTLE MAY BE REsUMD.
Roads in the Vicinity of Mukden Dry
ina Hard

Mukden, Oct. 22.-Towards evening
the fog lifted and some of the Russian
guns at various points opened fire
against the Japanese defenses, but
they did not respond either from
scarcity OF ammunition or of the de-
sire not to reveal the location of their
batteries.
The weather and the condition of
the roads have made extensive opera
tions impossible, but the roads are
now drying hard, which forecasts
events in the near future.
The war correspondents in the field
are kept in the dark and ii is difficult
to say when and how this dreadful
slaughter will end.

RELEASED BY JAPANESE.
Russian Prisoners lncapacitated for
Further Fighting.

Toxic. Oct. 22.-The military au
thorities have released the captured
paymaster OF the Russian armored
cruiser Rurik, who is seventy years
old, On account OF his age, thirty-four
Russian hospital attendants and twelve
battle MANNED soldiers. They will be
sent to the Russian consul at Shang-
hal.
In future 1t Is probable that the Jap
anese will release prisoners whose
wounds are healed and who are in
aanaritated from further fighting.

father and his aunt would be in the 'neighborhood of $500. He had figured somehow that it would be not less
 than 91,2OO, and that is what he had come to court to see about. He sus- pected that his English relatives were trying to beat him out of the balance, and he wanted to know if there was any way in which such an outrage could be prevented.
 Tn all of the letters he was asked why he had not written his relatives of his movements and relieved their anxiety concerning him. This inquiry had angered him. He said that his affairs could not be any part of the business of the relatives whom he had left, and he suspected that the inquiry had sin ister motive At any rate he had an- swered none of the letters. He went away saying if he could not have all that was coming to him from the old country he would have none. He be- lieved that in accepting $500 he would be compromising his honor and sac rificing a principle which he had fol- lowed all his life-that of giving ev- erything he owed and claiming every thing due him to the utmost farthing.

The bear fell over dead but had the aim been poor this story would never have been told for the bear was too close to have ever permitted the reloading of the gun and there wasn't Q single place of safety at hand and the boys horse had already taken to his heels The elder Hudson heard the shot and came running up to inquire what was going on.

 Killed what?" his father asked.
 'Killed the bear, of course the youth responded. "Ain't it bear we been hunting for all day?"
 And now comes the pitiful part of the story. His father lookeR at him in contempt and remarked soliloquiz- fnglv. ''To think that I would ever raise a boy that had no more sense than that!" It touched a tender spot but the young mans fountain of tears was not properly tapped until old man Biggs arrived and learned tEe facts.

AN ENGLISH HEIR
An Old Man Who Has Tramped Ari-
 zOna Deserts for Years.

There appeared in probate court yes terday morning what at first was thought to be an apparition. It was an old man whose IeOnine hair, pushed back from his forehead, fell about his shoulders. His long white, unkempt beard fell to the waist. The court was not sure that the visitor was not a ghost who had come to remonstrate about the settlement of his estate in days long gone by. He wore an al- paca coat, an openwork shirt fastened at the top with a string and pair of tattered trousers. One of his shoes was made Of unfinished leather and the other was a discarded brogan.
 The old man had a wild look, which suggested that he had escaped from the insane asylum, and his manner Of talking was not at first calculated to efface that impression. He said that his name was Phillip Neville, but when he was questioned further about him self he became angry. It was later learned from him that for years he had been a prospectOr, and that when he was not actively engaged in the search for d mine he lived in a seclud- ed place in the mountains in the com pany of his burros.
 He had come to see something about an estate. he had in England. This es- tate would have been regarded as mythical but for several letters which the old man exhibited. One of them was of recent date, and informed him that an aunt had died not long before, leaving an estate Of G4O0O to be di- vided among six heirs, of whom Neville is one. There was another letter, of earlier date, from an uncle of Neville informing him of the death of his father, leaving him a legacy the amount of which was not given. The writer said that a hunt had been made for Neville since 1888, and it had only lately been learned that he was in Arizona. The uncle said that he
 had arranged for taking care of the ! legacy. Another letter stated that NeviIle's share of the estates of his

THE REAL CAUSE
The Ancient soalP-Fever Theory E'l'
 ploded.

At one time dandruf was attributed to the result of a feverish condition of the scalp, which threw off the dnied cuticle in scales.
 Professor Unnas Hamburg, Germany, noted authority on skin diseases, eX- pIodes this theory and says that dan druff is a germ disease
 This germ is really responsible for the dandruff and for So many bald heads. It can be cured if it is gone about in the right way. The right way of course, and the only way, is to kill the germ.
 Newbro's Herpicide doees this and permits the hair to grow luXuTiantly, just ais nature intended it should.
