ST. PETERSBURG UNDIsmAYED
Don't Believe Lao Yang Has Been
Abandoned.

ST Petersburg. Sept 3.-The text OF
the dispatch sent to the emperor by
General Kuropatkin Thursday evening
was not made public last night as eX-
pected. All the news. therefore, as far
as St Petersburg is concerned, is COLI
tanned in kilograms from foreign
sources. and there is painful suspense
awaiting news from Russian sources.
Continued and logged confidence IN
General Kuropatkin is expressed in
many quarters. and the public gen.
orally as well as the military authori-
ties, absolutely refuse to believe thai
Lao Yang has been abandoned, or, II
it has been abandoned, that General
Kuropatkin is not in a better position
to make a strong stand north OF the
Taitse river
There seemed to be an air of consid-
cradle confidence at Peterhof last night
An official, who saw the emperor yes
terday afternoon, said that he was ex-
tremely confident and in good spirits.
Experts who are familiar with the
nature Of the intricate and powerful
defenses constructed north of Taitsn
by General Velitchko, one OF Russia's
foremost army engineers. believe that
the japanese are facing an almost i'm
possible task in attacking them, espe-
cially with. divided forces.
Il is pointed ont that General Kuroh
will have to make a considerable de-
tour to reunite his forces The bridge
heads abutting on the north bank OF
the Taitse river are strongly defended
by entrenched artillery, while it is I'M
derstood that there Is a strong rear
guard still on the south bank 20 CON
test the Japanese advance, thus making
the bridges utterly impracticable for
a japanese crossing. The river Itself
therefore becomes an important factor
in the general scheme Of defense.
The report that Rear Admiral Prince
Ouktomsky, now in command of the
naval forces at Port Arthur, Is to be
courtmartialed utterly lacks cOn1rma-
ton. The story possibly originated In
the same sources as the earlier report
of his deposition, and of his suicide at
Port Arthur.

Oyster Bay. Sept. 3.-Secretary Loeb

statement:
THE story in the World about the

consulting with the president. The
Worlds story referred to was published

Voice From Arkansas.

Cleveland, Ark, August l5 Especially
Nearly every newspaper tells OF some
wonderful cure of some form of Kidney
Disease by the Great American Rem
edy, Dodd's Kidney Pills, and this part
of Arkansas is not without its share of
evidence that no case is too deeply
rooted for Dodd's Kidney Pills 10 cure.
Mr.. A. E. Garlic, well known and
highly respected here, tells of his cure
after nearly quarter of century's
suffering. Mr.. Garlic says:
81 want to let the public know what
I think of Dodd's Kidney Pills. l
think they are the best remedy for
sick kidneys ever made.
81 had Kidney Trouble for % years
and never found anything that did me
80 much good as Dodd's Kidney Pills
l recommend them to all sufferers"
There is no uncertain sound about
Mr.. Carlile's statement. He knows
that Dodd's Kidney Pills rescued hin
from life OF suffering and he wants
the public to know it. Dodd's Kidne,
Pills cure all Kidney ills from Back
ache to Bright's Disease.

ACRES OF CARNATIONS.
Yield Six to Ten Thousand
Flowers Daily.

Commercial carnation growing In
the northern middle west and eastern
parts of this great country of ours has
been problem in economics. says the
Los Angeles Times. Outdoor growing
in the sections named Is always con-
fined to limited times, or rather sea-
sons, and so much of it has necessi-
vanished before the attacks of condi-
tons. The flower is one that has al
ways been popular and has been cul-
tured and specialized to almost a per-
lection, but never commercially salts
factory excepting to the interested
grower whose efforts became remuner-
alive upon the extreme demand and
limited supply
TO the stranger within the gates of
this State the carnation growing of
California becomes an object of the
greatest interest and a most satisfac-
tory sight The success of the enter
prise and the very simple and effective
style of cultivation make it another
marvel in this land of natural won
ders.
In brief, the carnation fields are
yielding on an average from 5000 to
10000 flowers every day in the year,
with a market in which the demand is
at all times greater than the supply.
The plants are perpetuating, in a
sense, are propagated in the open
fields, cultivated with less labor than
ordinary crops. and are exempt from
insect pests and but rarely troubled
with disease. excepting ordinary fun
gus attacks.
The average life of field carnation
varies from two to three Yeas. New
plants are taken in cuttings from the
old ones and put directly into the
ground. They take root in about four
weeks and in about ten months are in
bloom and continue to give their daily
quota Of blossoms until they die out
In planting the carnations are placed
in rows three feet apart and the plants
two feet from each other. This per.
mits the cultivation with horses and
once In healthy growth they require
only watchfulness for disease and IN
sect pests, irrigation about every two
weeks and daily picking.

PROFIT IN ILLICIT STILLS.
No Prospect of Cure of the Evil as
Long as 1t Pays So Well.

Although the makers of Illicit whis-
ky are punished by heavy fines when
ever they are detected. nearly all of
them get rich. At least. few abandon
the occupation until they can retire
from 1t with competence. One OF
the most experienced of the federal
revenue inspectors, who has raided
scores of stills during his official ca
reer and who has had many battles
with the outlaws and heard the bull
lets from their guns whistle past him.
who has often croucbed behind rocks
and stood behind trees, and who has
done his share in trying to stamp out
the miscreants, said recently, in speak

wnlsky:
Il have been a revenue officer for
about twenty-five or thirty years and
have seen all kinds of service, under
all kinds of circumstances, and don't
believe blockading or Illicit distilling
will ever be stopped. The reason for
my belief, and am not the only one.
is simply this: There is such large
profit In the business that the temp
tation is too great for most of that
class of people regardless Of the law,
not needing what has befallen fellow
moonshiners. Even forgetting that
they have once been caught or sus-
pected and that the eyes of the off.
GERS are on them, they go right ahead

time they are on the lookout for raids
and have their guns ever ready to
send a piece of lead into their discov-

ever missing when they nave a fail

II will give you an idea of how
cheaply moonshine whisky is made
and the immense profits that are reap
ed from its sale. They take one gal.

costs about 80 cents; two BUSHES OF

 On account of the feeble condition of the father, the wedding was very quiet one, only about dozen intimate friends being present. The parlor, where the ceremony was performed. was beautifully decorated with white carnations and smilax, and large wedding bell made of these flowers was suspended from the ceiling near the folding doors of the parlor. The groom was met at the hallway by the bride and they entered the parlor together, as Mrs. N. Levy played the sweet strains of Lohengrin'S famous wedding march. They were met un- der he beautiful floral bell by the father of the bride and the words were then spoken which joined the hearts that love had drawn together.
 After the ceremony had been com pleted, and as the friends were show eriug congratulations upon the happy husband and wife, Mrs. Levy again played Mendelsohn $ wedding march.
 The bride looked very charming in her beautiful gown of cream eumine
 trimmed with lace insertion and lIned with cream taffeta. She also carried boquet of white carnations. The groom wore conventional black. A bounteous wedding luncheon was served, the table decorations being of white carnations, lace ferns and white ribbous, making beautiful effect.
 A hhiubSi Oi NNiy ilGhNoOhlt duu valuable presents were received from the friends of the bride and groom.
 The bride is the only daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Mclntier, and is a na- tive of the Lone Star state, having been born in Galveston, Texas, while her father was pastor of the Method ist church at that place. She is a handsome and highly accomplished young lady.
