The unexpected loss of the Russian

of the Japanese Takushan army on the
flank forced the abandonment and sur

Liaoyang, Aug 9.-Authentic advices
have been received here indicating that
the Japanese are advancing an enor
nous force toward Mukden. jap col
umns are also massing to the right and
left of the Russian position south OF
here, while it is reported that another
large force of japanese, believed to be
commanded by General Fukushima is
moving from Newchwang, where they
landed from transports last week.
1t is believed that their object is a
simultaneous attack upon both Muk

time they will try to cut the Russian
communications north of Mukden.
Secure Fine Positions.
Toxic, Aug. 9.-Unofficial reports
were received yesterday that the Jap
anese army besieging Port Arthur has
captured commanding positions north
and northeast of the city, distance of
from $500 to 5000 meters from the
main line of the Russian defenses.
Repulse Of Japanese.
st. Petersburg, Aug. Am official
report from Lieutenant General Stoes
sel commanding the military forces at
Port Arthur, says that the Japanese
were repulsed with tremendous losses
in three days fight from July 26 to
July 28.
General Kuropatkin reports some
Russian successes in outpost fighting
to August 5, without the expected great
battle having opened.
The simpultaneous receipt of tele:
grams from these commanders in the
far east raised the spirits of those in
the Russian capital immensely. The
dispatches were printed in special
newspaper bulletins and were eagerly
bought up on the streets. The news
boys around the depots met the strong
crowus OF Sunday pleasure seekers and
shouted their wares without being re-
proved by the police, and thousands of
st. Petersburgers went to their homes
tonight apparently satisfied that fav-
orable turn of affairs had commenced
at the front.

ernment has granted posthumous
decorations of the Order OF the Rising
Sun to Captain Campbell, chief en-
gineer general, as first officer OF the
Aetschi Maru, transport which was

tcers on the vessel shared the fate of
the majority of the Japanese soldiers,
who were either killed by the Russian

The order OF the Rising Sun, except
in cases of exceptional bravery, is
designed only for Japanese heroes OF
princely rank. In addition to this honor,
the government has awarded the
families of deceased officers pensions
amounting to the same sums as are
given the families of Japanese major
generals killed in action, while the
Yusen kaisha steamship company has

preached to a crowded house. All the

A Piano for Christmas.

Here we are again. We can't help
telling prospective piano buyers of
the great fortune in store for them.
A few months ago we conceived a
plan whereby we felt convinced we
could VERY MUCH AID ALL parties
contemplating the purchase of a pia-
no, and at the same time help our.
selves. We determined for a limited
time to cut our profits to LESS THAN
HALF the usual profits on the sale
of pianos. and thereby enable you
to buy a piano for less than half the
price usually paid.
We concluded that if we sold ten
pianos in a stated time at a profit of
$25.00 on each piano. it would be bet
ter and worth more to is, than just
5 pianos sold in the same time, at
a profit of $4,000 each, as we should
realize the same amount in profits,
and in addition to this, very much
help the purchaser, who in turn
might be enabled thereby to help an
other party in some way, and thus
enable him also to buy. We therefore
went to work in a quiet way on this
plan. and as a result of our extreme
ly low prices, on high grade instru-
ments our efforts have been crowned
with a large number of sales the past
few months.
we have made II sales-9 pianos and
2 piano players. Four Of the sales
have been made to parties who were
about to send off to our larger
cities and manufactures for pianos
thinking they could buy them cheap
err, but upon learning our extremely
cheaper Of us.
Encouraged by our great success
and in order to afford an opportunity
for yet a few others to buy at these
greatly reduced prices, we have IN
cluded to extend the time of this spe-
cial cut-price sale to Jan. 1st, 1905.
We have just three more pianos
and one biano player to dispose Of at
these low prices, and in order to close
them out within the text two weeks,
we will make a further cut Of 7 per
cent. Call and see them at links
