. T. PETERSBURG, Sept. 4. 2:50 a.
y m-The battle Of Lao Yang.
which began with the Japanese
advance on Aug. q, the day of the
christening OF the czaTeVitch. and con-
Guided Saturday, Sept. 3, with the re-
treat of General Kuropatkin. is be-
heved to have been the longest and the
bloOdiest of history. Numerous in
cidents in the fighting upset the
theory evolved by experiences in the
BoeF war that modern battle must
necessarily be fought at long range
Both sides repeatedly came 10 hand-tO-
hand encounters in bayonet charges
and the men of both sides were often
so near each other that they could dis
unguish features and heard words of
comment. In one instance they were
separated only by the width OF the
railroad, and actually threw stones at
each other The mad heroism of the
japanese and the stubborn tenacitv of
the Russians has not been paraIleled
anywhere save in some desperate en-
counters of the American civil war.
Fought With Cold Steel.
Correspondents state that several of
the bayonet attacks made by the
japanese throughout the battle had
been forced by the depletion of am
mumuon, OF which modern arms entail
such extravaganza expenditure. The
japanese came on with empty guns
and with hopes Of finishing the attack
with cold steel, but il was proved at
their own cost that such attack could
not be driven home in the face OF the
fire of breech- loading guns.
The Russian artiile1ymen suffered
terribly in the prolonged fighting south
or the TaitSe river. One battery lost
forty men killed and the remainder of
IL were wounded, and when a fresh
battery was brought up into position
the survivors protested with tears NJ
being removed begging to be allowed
10 die beside their own guns
Charity Workers Killed.
The work of the Red Cross which.
throughput the MAR. has been deEoted
on both sides has proved almost az
dangerous TO the nurses and doctors as
has the work Of the cOmbatantS Many
bearers and their assistants have been
killed or wounded in attending to in
jured under fire. A sister of mercy
was killed and a surgeon wounded in
the final assaults on Lao Yang.
Telegraph operators and correspond
ents have suffered severely. Two CORE
spondents Of the Associated Press have
been shot and one has been decorated
Tor bravery.
During the ten days fighting the
condition OF the soldiers of both armies
has been pitiable
Many of the japanese prisoners were
starving and almost naked when cap
tured, which speaks volumes for Jap
anese endurance.
1t is wonderful that the commissary
arrangements made il possible TO con-
tInue TO supply the men during sucn
continuous battle. The Russians were
better fed being nearer their own
base, but the terrible strain Of the
continuous fighting caused some Oe
them to fall asleep in the midst Of
cannonade and even ON the firing line.

An objection by Mr.. Mann, OF Illi-

up the inaugural resolution in the
house OF representatives, sent the
whole matter over until after the

Mr.. Morrill,, of Pennsylvania. on be-

the passage OF the senate resolution,
which among other things provided
for holding the inaugural ball in the
pension building, as heretofore, but
Messrs. Underwood, OF Alabama. and

house should be present to consider
the matter.

LOOK BACK. COUNT THE LOSS
When Energy Has Been Spent, Nerve
and Brain Force Gone.

Just look back over the day and see
where your energy has gone. See how
much of It has leaked away from you
in trifles. Perhaps you have wasted
II in fits OF fretting. tuning, grum-
bling, fault-fnding or in the little fric-
tons that have accomplished nothing,
but merely rasped your nerves, made
you irritable, crippled you and left you
exhausted. You may have drained off
more nerve and brain force In burst
OF passion than you have expended in
doing your real work. Perhaps you
did not realize that, in going through
your place of business like a mad bull
through a china-shop, you pulled out
every spigot and turned on every
faucet OF your mental, and physical
reservoir and left them open until all
the energy you had stored up during
the night had run off. Look back and
see whether your scolding, fault-find
ing, criticising, nagging and what you
call reading the riot act" to your en-
ployes has helped you in any way or
accomplished anything. No; you only
lost your energy and self-control, your
self-respect and the respect and adj
miration OF your employes.-Success

DEADLY SOUVENIR.
A Navy Shell Does Deadly Work In
Peaceful Home.


Lifeless and horribly mutilated, the
body of Mrs. Mamie Barnes, aged 20
years, was found Thursday noon
across the Threshold of doorway at
the family home, 253 Pine street, De-
troit.
A shell. containing a powerful ex-
pIosive, which had been sent'as a GU
rio to Mrs. Barnes by her brother,
VIM. Mayhu, United States navy
gunner stationed at Newport News.
was the cause of her death, although
murder was at first feared.
The condition Of the room, which
was used as back parlor, strength
ems the explosion theory. The floor,
walls and ceiling were besmeared with
human blood and fragments of human
skin and flesh. They were also badly
damaged by the force OF the explosion.
Mrs. Barnes's fingers and hands had
been practically blown into shreds.
Many Of the latter were hanging from
the ceiling.
At $50 o'clock neighbors heard the
detonation Of a terrific explosion.
Rushing out of doors in their alarm
they sought the cause, but failed to
find it. The Barnes home, as we'll as
others in the vicinity, was quiet.
A few minutes before IL o'clock
passing milkman noticed smoke issu-
ing from an open window of the
Barnes home. With William Shea and
William Kane, neighbors, he entered
the dwelling.
Mrs. Barnes. shockingly disfigured,
lay in the midst of flames.
SEEKING the woman the men dragged
her out of the fire and called tiremen.
The blaze was extinguished after
short fight.
The fire had evidently been smoul-
sering for several hours, and was just
gaining Roadway. Had the rescuing
party been much later the body would
have been frightfully burned and the
two little children. one only few
months old and the other less than 3
years old, would probably have been
killed also.
Mrs. Barnes was preparing for
Christmas when the fatality occurred.
She was stringing popcorn for decor
ating a Christmas tree. Special prep
arations were being made as her
brother, the one who sent her the
deadly souvenir, was TO be their
Christmas guest. He is now on his
way to Detroit, ignorant of the fate
of his sister.

FROM ALL OVER MICHIGAN
THE BERvILLE MURDER.
George Bearss. Who Was Arrested In
Flint, Confessed.

/
George Bearss, who was suspected
of having murdered his aunt, Mrs.
Abel Brown. ut Berville, ST. Clair
county, Friday, was arrested in Flint
Sunday evening. He had been in
town only about an hour when his
actions excited suspicion as To his
identity and shortly before Il O'Clock
he was i'm the hands Of the police. At
the Jail the suspect was stripped of his
garments down to his miderclothing.
lie had on two pairs OF trousers and
on the inside Of the outer pair we're
found spots of blood. These Bcarss
declared came from his hand, which
he said had been cut in his fight with
Hiram Gray at the home Of the latter
near Memphis Friday evening. BearSs
alleged that Gray was concerned in the
separation of the prisoner and his wife,
which took place about six weeks ago,
and he thought il was time TO settle the
score. The prisoner claims that cut
which he carries over his right eye is
memento Of his fight with Gray, who.
he says. came back at him with pail
and defended himself so vigorously that
Hearss says that he would have been
worstod in the encounter if he had not
used broom on Gray.
Bearss claims to have eaten breakfast
at the hotel i'm Memphis, going from
there TO his fathers home, north OF
Memphis. His brother, he said. was to
be married today, and while he was ut
his fathers home his brother loaned
him a suit of clothes for the purpose of
enabling him to attend the wedding. At
ter changing his clothes he went to the
home Of Hiram Gray, where he assault
ed the latter. Returning TO Memphis he
remained there all night, and he says
that on Saturday morning he started for
Capac. From there he walked TO within
three miles of Lapeer, where he put UP
over night at a farm house. In the
morning he resumed his travels and
reached Flint about o'clock, having
walked most Of the way.
4 farmer living in the vicinity Of the
Brown home claims to have seen BcarsS
crossing the fields near there and going
in the direction OF his fathers home.
1t is said that he was also seen by lit
tie girl on the road, going in that di-
rcction. 4 search Of his fathers house
was rewarded with the discovery of
suit of clothes, said to belong to the
suspect. which are covered with blood.
1t Is thought that he went from the
scene of the murder to his fathers home
and changed his clothes and then went
to the home of Hiram Gray. several
miles the other side Of the Brown farm
from which his father lives. The theory
is that he committed the assault OH
Gray in order to have an alibi.
When taken to Port Huron Bearss
finally confessed that he did the terrible
deed

Delinquent Tax Lands.
