Preparing for Another Battle.

Preliminary artillery duels prepare
tory to another battle have been begun
south of Mukden. General Sakharof
reports to the Russian war office thai
the Russians have bombarded Lamutlug
and the Buddhist Temple at Linghinpu,
while the japanese have been Smelling
the Russian position at Shakhe.
Two hundred Russians have crossed
the Taitse river, east of Bengihu, and
20. 900 are concentration at Kauta Pass,
20 miles northeast. Kuropatkin may
intend to attempt blow in that direc-
ton. The cold is increasing in severity,
and flooded fields and streams have been
frozen over.
The japanese report that up to Octo.
Der % they buried 10, $50 Russians, and
upon this basis they estimate the Rus
sian casualties in the recent battle
at 60, 900.
Advices from Port Arthur, BY way oil
Chefoo, state that the japanese On Octo'
Der 16 resumed their attack on the Rus
sian outer works at Rihlung Mountain
and captured number of the Russian
trenches. A general assault upon Port
Arthur will soon be made.

Mr.. Aston Cautious.

Miss Pauline AstOr, accompanied by
her brother and Captain Spender Clay
arrived in London on Wednesday even
ing from Bucharest, where she had
taken her fiance to introduce him to her
close friend, the Crown Princess OF
Roumania. The Princess expressed her
self as greatly pleased with him, and gave
Miss Aston a jeweled pendant as n
wedding present. The wedding will take
place next Thursday.
Mr.. Astor is a cautious man, aud, al
though liberal to a degree, is making
strict settlements on his daughter, al
lowing her $50, 900 a year for herself,
and also giving a handsome money
present to his son-in.law. But the
settlement gives the latter no power
whatever over his Gfe's money affairs.
Captain Spender Clay's income is a
somewhat huctuating asset. Not even
his intimate friends know exactly what
he actually has. Some say he has an
income of 800, 900, aud will undoubtedly
inherit more than double that amount
from his mother.

The Price of Milk.

When the meeting of local milk deal
ers adjourned in Washington Saturday
night the dispute over the raising Of the
price of milk was almost as far from
being settled as it was when the Vir-
ginia, Maryland, and District of Colum-
bia Milk Producers Association adj
iourned Wednesday from its first meeting.
The presence of producers in large mum
beers converted into mass meeting what
was intended to be a conference OF the
retailers with committee from the pro-
ducers' association. The only advance
made toward an agreement was the aP'
pointment of committee by the dealers
10 confer with the producers committee,
and the passage of a resolution declaring
that the sense Of the meeting be thai
bottled milk delivered to the consumer
should be sold for not less than cents
quart. A meeting Of the two commit
tees was fixed for this afternoon at 80
in the Bond Bnilding.

The Wafer Supply.

The committee appointed by the City
Council to investigate the cause of the
peculiar taste and odor of the water sup
ply, conferred Saturday evening with the
officials of the water company. Mr..
Roberts, the president of the company,
told the committee that a thorough in
vestigation of the matter had been made
and that an anal isis of the water showed
that it contained nothing injurious to
health. There is messy growth IN the
reservoirs caused by an excess of iron In
the water which causes disagreeable
taste and as soon as possible after a
heavy rain the reservoirs will be
drained and the moss removed. The
committee will make its report at the

In doing so he became entangled with
the bell cord. He, however, escaped

Retter Than Pills.

The question has been asked-ln what
wav are Chamberlain's Stomach and
Liver Tablets superior to the ordinary
cathartic and liver pills? Our answer is
They are easier and more pleasant to
take and their effect is so gentle and so
agreeable that one badly realizes that 1t
is produced by a medicine. Then they
not only move the bowels but improve
the appetite and aid the digestion. For
