St Petersburg. March 22.-The following
dispatch has been received from Viceroy
Alexieff dated Mukden, March 90:
General Mitchenkow reports that on
March II our scouts approached Anju and
observed on the left bank of the ChenS-
Cheng River. opposite Anju, entrench-
ments made by the enemy. Up to that
date the enemy had not appeared at
Yong-Pyon Cffteen miles northeast Of
AnjD. 1t is supposed that there is one
Japanese division at Anju, and that the
remainder of the First Army Corps is at
Ping-Yang
In consequence of the report that two
squadrons of the enemy had arrived at
Pak-Chong (fifteen miles northwest OF
Anju), 80 of our cavalry was dispatched
for the purpose of preventing the enemy
from crossing the Pak-Chong River.
"Our cavalry found three japanese
squadrons on the left bank of the river,
but they withdrew toward Anju on the
arrival of our detachment without fight
ing. The Japanese squadrons number
about 1870 each.
''On the night of March 10 two dispatch
riders encountered a japanese patrol be-
tween Kazan (about fifty miles north by
west Of Ping Yang, and Chenju about
twelves miles north of Kazan). The patrol
cpened fire, but our dispatch riders es-
capped uphurt
According to a report, 5000 of the
enemy's cavalry occupied Yong Pyon
March 10, and material for pontoon
bridges has been placed in readiness north
and south of Anju."

SURGEONS RESORT

When a Simple Home Remedy Cures.

Why do physicians always advise an
operation for the cure of hemorrhoids. or
piles? Are thev unconsciously Influenced
by the dicta of operating surgeons. who
treatments are merely palliative and that
the knife affords the only means of cure?
There could be no greater fallacy, as the
worst possible cases Of piles are perma-
nently cured by the use of Pyramid Pile

over forty years, and after trying every
thing l could hear or read of without
Deneht or relief. came to the conclusion
to give Pyramid Pile Cure trial. and I
can truly say it has given me entire sat
isfaction. 1t Is wonderful remedy. The
bleeding has entirely ceased, the protrud-
ing has stopped. there is no longer any
itching, and feel no swelling of the
parts; in fact, feel like a new man.
Il had to wear a truss for several years
to keep the bowel up, but have now dis
carded 1t after using six boxes of Pyramid
Pile Cure. l think after forty years of
suffering the six boxes was a small
amount to make such an agreeable change,
as was unable to do any work that re-
quired STOPPING in the last eight years.

one with whom l come in contact. as

the above testimonial. and urge all suf-

PLANS FOR FAIR BUILDINGS
DRAWN BY BOY ARCHITECT
Milton Willis, Fifteen Years old,
Shows Aptness With Drafts
mans Tools.

Milton Willis. aged Is years, enjoys the
distinction of being the youngest archi-
tect who has drawn plans for construc-
ton work at the Worlds Fair. The
youngster is employed in the office Of R
G. Shisler, a general contractor, who is
engaged in Exposition construction work
About six months ago he came to st.
Louis from his home at Battle Creek,
Mich, and. being desirous Of seeing the
Worlds Fair, sought employment on the
grounds. He was given work with the
general contracting concern, and soon
gave evidence of leaning TO architects
work. 1t was not long before his pro-
ficiency with the draftsmans lmple-
ments led his employer TO intrust the
working out of minor sets of plans to him.
Some of the Fair construction work
which has been done after plans drawn
by the Juvenile architect are exhibit
facades and booths for the Kansas State
display, the building Of the New Mexico
turquoise mine on the Gulch, the booths
for the Kansas horticultural display and
many other State installation structures
The boy says that these plans We're all
worked out by him. with occasional aid
from the older heads of the office.

FREAK CATTLE WOULD FILL
LARGE FAIR STOCK BARN.
Offers Include Cow With Two Udders
and Many Animals With Extra
Legs, Horns and Even Tails.

freak stock barn. said an official of the
Live Stock Division yesterday, 1T coult

tion OF cattle ever gathered together, Il

ten in good. faith
Bulls with from five to seven perfectly
formed legs would be no novelty in such
an exhibit, as at least twenty such ami
mails have been offered. Some of these
snimals have only one horn and some
none at all. while one favored animal
was offered which has four horns, two
OF the natural size and two smaller bud
ding ones.
More wonderful than these Is a COW
which has two udders. The owner of this
animal gravely says in his letter, She
is very fine animal and has one udder
where it ought to be and another udder
on the other side
1T would seem that nature has been
saving up all its freaks for the year 1901.
as most of the animals offered are from
six month to a year old.
"One woman wrote some time ago that
she had family of tailless cats. and an
other that she had a family of two-tailed

have a special lecture on the evolution
of the tail in cats, illustrated with all
possible examples"

After DeIinauent Concessionuires.

After Delinquent Concessionnires.
Building Commissioner Hamburger yes
terday ordered nine Worlds Fair conces-
sionaries on the Pike to appear at the
building office st the City Hall and take
out permits for structures now in course Of
erection.
Buildings for which no permits were IS
sued up to yesterday were: Hagenbsck' s
Animals, Fair japan, Welsh Grape Juice,
Ancient Rome, Paris and French Village,
Russian Village, Mysterious Asia and
Empire Of India. Naval Exhibit and Ross
Castle. The conceSsionaires for Ancient
Rome appeared at the building office late
yesteId day afternoon and procured their
permit.
Building Commissioner Hamburger has
had trouble continually with concession
aires along the Pike. Many Of the build
irgs have reached completion before the
owners would appear to secure the right
to build, and then only after prosecution
or threats to stop work were made. A
bend Is required by the Building Commis-
sioner as a guarantee that the structures
will be removed after the Fair. This bond
is distasteful to the concession men, who
try to stave off as long as possible,
says the Building Commissioner.
