days of fighting, largely with artillery,
the first japanese army Under Gen.
eral kuroki. has forced a crossing of
the Yalu river and to-day, with a
gallant infantry charge covering a
frontage of Jour miles, it drove the.
Russians from Chiu Tien Cheng and
the heights on the right bank of the
Iho or Aida river, which enters the
Yalu from the north almost opposite
Win. The Japanese turned the left
flank of the Russian position, and in
the battle of to-day they swept he
new front, interposed by the Rus
slams to check their onward move
ment. The present position of the
japanese is q dominating n and
they may force the abandonment of
the defenses erected by the Russians
at Antung and other points lower
down the river
General Kuroki began the move
ment on Tuesday. by ordering a de-
tachment Of the Imperial Guards di-
vision to seize the island of Kurito,
which is in the Yalu above Win, and
q detachment of the second division
to seize the island of Kintieto, which
is situated below Win. The detach-
ment of the Imperial Guards met
some resistance, but it succeeded in
clearing the enemy out and occupied
= Kurito Island. The Russians aban-
done the island of Kinteito when at
tackled by the detachment of the
second division.

behind Chu-Tien-Chien and two
HotchkisS guns which were mounted

such violence as to expose every atom
of water to the sunlight and the
effects of oxygen. which would entire

There is no possibility of this city
being in any danger from the above
stated source, either now or in the
future. 1t is fact that the water

from organic matter and much better
than the average water furnished to
the cities OF the United States.

and during all that time there has
never heen an epidemic of typhoid

fact those using the city water have
been much more free from the disease
than those living either up or down
the valley, although considering cur
large population there has been very
few cases in the county.
Would it not be we'll if we exercis-
ed little more care in regard to
statements made regarding our COM
munitv, as a well circulated falsehpod
of the above nature will do more to

THE. OPEN FIRE PLACE
NEGRO CHILD IS BURNED TO
 DEATH
The Mother Stepped Across the Street and the Dress of the Child
 Caught Fire.

Left unattended near the fire place in the home. 621 North McDonougb Street. Reesa Simmons. the 6-year- r-old daughter of Georgia Shelton, colored. was fatally burned yesterday morning about 10 o'clock. After suffering in- tense agony for nearly nine hours. du- ring which time two physicians work ed necessarily to save her life, the child died.
 Yesterday about 9:30 o'clock Georgia Shelton went across the streeA to visit a neighbor. She left her Nhild in the room where there was a smoul- dering fire which she overlooked.
 The mother heard pitiful screams from the other side of the street which she knew were uttered by her daugh- ter. She hurried to the room in which Reesa had been left alone. There she found the little girl all afame. part of the dress burned completely from the body.
 With the right side of her body burned to paralysis. the girl was fight ing the flames desperately with her left hand when her mother came in. A quilt from the bed was thrown around the burning child and the fire thus smothered.
 Physicians were summoned but could render no help to prevent death. The child expired about ! o'clock last evening.
