preaching the walk along the Illinois
Central property ON East Main street,
going west from Porter's drug store,
DR.. Lightfoot was struck IA vicious
blow with some weapon on the right
side of tho head. The doctor was
felled by the blow and for nearly an
hour was in an unconscious condition.
Or. Lightfoot states that rs he neared
the /. @. walk he was accosted by
one of two fellows who said; Say
partner want to see you minute,
and almost before he had time to
answer him he struck him the blow.
One Of the fellows started to run
south and the other west. Although
a number of people were in that vi
cinity and several saw the blow
struck from distance no one seems
10 have identified the ssailant. The
one who struck the blow and ran

time a strong force pushed mp the
gorge Of Shish valley between TWO
fortified ridges and attacked the sup

enyeloping the city from the west,
The attempt failed after the most
furious dghting that has been wit
Messed since Port Arthur was invest

A Perfect He'll.
The assault began in the early
morning with a tremendous lombard

of the eastern fortified ridge. Fol
hours the whole western halt of the
fortified ridge was deluged witf
heavy shells. At noon the principal
limo OF fortihcations was a porfec'
hell OF bursting shrapnel, and the
spectacle was more wonderful thar
anything previously seen.
The front lines of the infantry at
tackled simultaneously along the en-
ire lire. Rifle. rapid fire guns an
machine guns blazed from the Rus
sian position. and men weat down b.
hundreds. The forts were a mass c
smoke and bursting shells, and th'
rampant walls were black with as
saulters, who, on reaching the crests
met the awful fire from within tn
forts which swept down line afte
line Of Japanese. As fast as the as
saulters were repulsed more Japan
csc swarmed up. only to be move
down in turn.

On the eastern extremity Of the lin
the Japanese attempted to captur
the Russian trenches situated mic

Russians. But sill more men cam

He ohexed His Orders.

John was the new English butler in
the employ of a Philadelphia family.
When John first came he was told by
the mistress of the house that she was
always at home to her sister, who
was a frequent visitor to the house.
The sister in question was pointed
out to John on her next visit, and
the mistress was satisfied in her mind
that John would obey orders.
Every time the sister called John
would admit the welcome guest with
reverent respect. 1t was her custom
to ask him before entering If his mis-
tress was in, and 1t always happened
that she was, so John would nod and
profoundly bow her in.
But one day 1t happened that his
mistress was out when the sister
called. When John went to the door
in, to which John nodded in the
affirmative and bowed her in. John S
business at that moment took him cut
in the yard, and he left her in the
parlor.
Divesting herself of her wraps, the
visitor began to look for her sister,
but seeing no signs of her downstairs
concluded that she was on one of the
upper floors, and went upstairs. OF
course. she failed to find her; and,
thinking that the butler might be
mistaken. went downstairs to inquire
of him again. She found him out in
the yard, and calling to him. asked If
he thought his mistress had gone out,
as she could not find her in the
house.
John. after medltating moment,
replied
Yes. mum. she his h'out."
"Out!" exclaimed the sister; why,
thought you said she was at homer
Yes. num-" came the solemn re-
ply, but she-tor me that she was al
ways at 'ome to you!"-Lippincotr',
