DIDN'T BELIEVE
THAT COFFEE WAS THE REAL TROUBLE.

1 Some people founder around and take everything
that's recommended to them but finally find out
that coffee the real cause of their troubles An
Oregon man SAYS:
"For 25 years. was troubled with my stomach
l was steady coffee drinker, but didn't suspect
that the cause. doctored with good doc. ors
and got help; then / took almost anything
which some else had been cured with, but to
good very bad last summer and could
not work at times.
ION December 2. 1902 l was taken so bad the
doctor said could not live twenty four hours

l could hardly eat anything, everything distressed
and weak and sick all over When in
that condition coffee abandoned and l was

quickly after the drink that was poisoning me

The pain and sickness fell away from me and I
began to get well day by day, so 1 stuck to it,

COLD WAVE COMING
TEMPERATURE TO FALL TWENTY
DEGREES BEFORE TOMORROW.
More Than the Usual Share Of Winter
This Year - The Weather
Bureau Figures.

Hoist cold wave flag; temperature will
fall twenty degrees or more during We'd
nesday and Wednesday night"
Such was the cheerful dispatch that went
forth from the weather bureau this morn
ing to all branches in this immediate Sec
ton of the country; so once more the
ground hog was right when he hunted his
hole yesterday after seeing his shadow
pointing toward the west
Added to the cold weather that the in
habitants Of Washington have had already
this winter, the representation of more to
follow is not calculated to have flattering
reception. A trip made by a reporter for
The Evening Star to the weather bureau
today, where he went in search of anthem
tic information regarding this and other
winters, resulted in a considerable addi-
ton to the lore of the times in this matter.
1T has been the coolest January since
1885," was what Prof. CARROT, supervising
forecaster of the weather bureau, said on
the subject; land the entire season since
the cold weather began has been below the
average. The year 1903 averaged six-tenths
of one degree below the normal tempera-
ture for the thirty-second year that this
bureau has been in operation. The winter
this time began in October, and ever since
we have had more than the usual share
that Washington is called upon to accept
Prospect of Long Winter.
1--WE had cool spring and cool sum-
mer. ana the chances now are that we will
have winter of much longer duration
than the average, with considerably lower
temperature
THE mean temperature for the thirty-four
Januarys during the life Of the weather
bureau has been 5 ITO degrees above that
of the month just passed, which averaged
~ degrees. In January, 1898, the thermo-
metrical readings for the month averaged
. degrees, and in the same month in 1881
the record shows % degrees. There have
therefore been cycles of time in which the
mercury sought the lowest levels of the
tube, reading in periods of twelve years
from 1881 to 1893 and of eleven years from
1898 to 1904
1.-THE coolest December since the organi-
cation of the weather bureau was in 1876,
when the thermometer descended to Is de-
grees. At o'clock this morning the Their
mometer read 16 degrees, and at noon it
had climbed tC q degrees. By tonight it
will have probably reached IS degrees, and
there will be some more ice formed before
morning. 1t does not look like snow, but
when this sort of weather continues for so
long time precipitation may be looked
for at any time.
1.-THE cold wave that is moving toward
Washington is coming straight from the
northwest, and will be with us for several
days."

RUSSIANS FALL BACK
THEY WILL NOT MAKE A STAND
AGAINST ENEMY AT MUKDEN.
Kuropatkns Plans Were Upset by
Failure of Major General orloH to
Hold General Kuroki's Elk
IRENE. Right.

Following is dispatch from st. Pet
ersburg; No fresh light has been
thrown on the situation at the front
Unofficial information tends to confirm
the reports that General Kuropatkin is
Withdrawing the bulk OF his army
northward from Mukden. The rain
continues at the front. The three
armies OF Field Marshal Oyama are re-
ported to have united north of the
Taltse river. but there is nothing yet
to Indicate that they are sufficiently
recuperated to resume the advance.
The best unofficial opinion is that Ku-
ropatkin does not contemplate max
ing a serious stand at Mukden.
The spirit anlmating the Japanese
troops is shown by the translation of
letter written by Spartan japanese
mother to her son, which has reached
the war Office. The letter was found
on the body of her son. 1t adjured him
TO fight nobly for the mikado and his
country, and informed him that his
capture would be considered an ever
lasting disgrace upon the family an
cestors. and that il he died on the bat
tlefeld 1t would be an honor which
his family would celebrate for a week.
A Russian correspondent says Kuro-
patkln's strategy was upset by the
failure OF Major General Orloff to hold
General Kuroki's extreme right. Ac-
cording to this correspondent, Kuro-
patkin's plan was to catch Kuroki after
be had crossed the Taitse river by a
quick and clever movement. Orloff's
mission was to attack desperately
Sept. 2 the front Of KurolSi's army
which had marched northwest to hold
him, and. If possible. to drive him
back toward Kuropatkin, while the lat
er, severing Kurold's communication,
truck with all his might at his flank
Shoshone journal. [volume] (Shoshone, Idaho) 1884-1931, 1904-09-16

and rear. But Orloff was unequal to
the task assigned him. His division
had just arrived from Russia, and its
fighting efficiency was not known.
When he struck Kuroh, Orloff was
wounded early in the fight and was
compelled to hand over his command.
TO make the matter worse. the horse
OF his chief Of STAFF bolted. The d.
vision could not resist the onslaught Of
Japanese troops and gave way and re-
treated. In the meanwhile Kuropatkin
was just launching his attack, but
when he found the Japanese were turn
ing his left he was compelled to aban-
don the offensive, withdraw and or
dered a retreat. AS it turned out. how
ever, General Stakelberg had come to
Orlof's rescue and checked the Jap
anese Ranking movement just before
they reached Yen Tai. Had Kuropatkin
held on little longer the fate of the
day might have been different, as this
was the critical moment for KuroH

Japanese side
