Big Battles of History.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat
 During some of the big battles of his- tory, some of them taking place in the last two hundred years, there have been some rather severe losses. Take, for in- stance, this statement: Borodino, French loss 3O,0O0; Russian, 40,OO0. Waterloo French loss, 31,OOO; Allies, 22,OOo Auster- litz. French loss 30,000; allies 35,000. Wag- ram French loss 30000; Austrian 35.000 Friedland French loss ST0O; allies. 19,OOO Eylau, French loss 20,0o0; allies 1S,O00 Hohenlinden, French loss 5000; Austrian 10000. Dresden, French loss, 5000; allies 27,000. Leipsic, French loss 55O00; allies e5. 900. Jena-Auerstadt, French loss 14000 Prussian 35.0O0. Blenheim, French loss 10000; alles 13.000. Marplaquet, French loss 20,00O; allies 1S,000. Rosebach, Prus- sian loss 500; allies, 7500. Yardorff Prus- sian 11,0OO; Russian 24,0O0 Kunerdorf. Prussan 1S.0O0; allies 16,000. Magent French-Sardina, 40O0; Austrians, 17,O00. Solferino, French-Sardinian, 1S,000; Aus trians 20.000 Sadowa, P-usslan, 5000; Austrian A,000. Graveiotte, German, 21,- 900; French 14.0O0. Sedan, German 5000; French. 3s,000. Inkerman. Russian, 5000; allies. 2500. The Alma, Russian $500; al- lies, 5000. Mark you this list does not take into account few rather lively events
 
 tury in our own history. For instance, we have this list: Gettysburg. Federal g, GOO; Confederate, ,tvo Antiatam, Fed eral 15,0O0; Confederate 31,000 Chica- mauga, Federal 16.OOO; Confederate 17OO0. Chancellorsvil.e, Federal, 16,000; Confeder- ate 12,OoO. Wilderness. Federal 12,000; Con- federate 1,000 Seven days before Rich mond, Federal 15,000; Confederate 17000.
 ,Ioh, Federal 13,O00; Confederate 10000. Spottsylvania. Federal 14.0O0; Confederate TOGO. Cold Harbor, Federal. 14'000; Confed- crate 17O0 Fredericksburg, Federal 12,- 900; Confederate. 40O0. These statistics are mere approximations, and are given in round numbers as they are, In some in- stances disputed by one side or the other. But, in any event, the showing is bad enough My reason for calling atten- ton to tkese records Is simply to remind you that the world has known some rather lively scraps already and while Lao Yang threaten; to break all pre- vious records, 1t will not in the wind up stand absolutely alone"

From the New York Herald.
 The dispatches leave the position of Liao Yang somewhat vague. It is really quite clear. The general situation is de- termined by the Khin Gan ridge which forms the backbone of Manchuria- This ridge runs from the south of Port Arthur right up to the great bend of the Amur river, at Khabarovsk, and Is in fact the cause of that bend On the east of this backbone ridge lies the valley of the Yalu. On the west of the same ridge lies the valley of Liao river. The fight ing since early spring has been for the possession of this ridge, which was cross ed by the Japanese in the various bat ties of the passes.
 From this main backbone ribs of low hills go westward Into the Liao river plain. The railroad from Port Arthur crosses several of these ribs, and in parts 1t resembles a switchback railway. Be- tween each pair of ribs a stream flows down into the plain, going generally due west and joining the Liao river in the valley. This valley Is of immense fertil- ity and is covered with magnificent
  and numberless tombs, cache marked with a tuft of trees, generally elms, willows or frs and pines It is recorded that the elms near I.iao Yang are heavily decked with mistletoe.
 From Tachekiao, the junction for Port Arthur and New Chwang, the distance north to Liao Yang Is 40 miles, chiefly along the foothills of the ridge and across the various ribs. The streams between the ribs are mountain torrents, liable to sud- den floods from cloudbursts and the ! bridges, one of M. de Witte's master pieces allow for these floods by the great height of their arches. Westward of the railroad toward the Great Wall are magnificently irrigated and cultivated plains, producing tobacco, cotton, millet, hemp, and such fruits as pears, grapes, peaches and cherries.
 The last rib of hills from the main back bone is some four or five miles south of Liao Yang city, the backbone being in 1 sight to the east of the town The noun tain stream corresponding to this rib Is | the Tai-Tse river. which flows just north of the town, in a wide, sandy bed, with numerous sandbanks one of which di- vides it's stream into two main branches The Russian position is a half circle, the southern front being on a rib of hills four or five miles south of the city, while the right and left wings touch the Tai-Tse river. thus practically encircllng the town of Liao Yang.
 The Japanese position is south of the rib of hills and stretches in larger ceml-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1904-09-18

Shan, Is another small plain. which in it's turn Is bounded on the south by another rib, of which An-Shan, the Saddle hill, is the chief peak. An-shan, or Saddle hill village Is noteworthy as being the most northerly point reached by Japanese armies, in the Chino-Jananese war of 1S94-95. At An-Shan they made a feint at Liao Yang. which was one of the strongest centers of Chinese troops. and then turned southward to New Chwang.
 It was at this place that General Kuro- patxn lost an important engagement which opened the road northward to- ward Iiao Yang for the Japanese. After An-Shan-Shan, they will for the first time be traversing new ground not fought over in the Chino-Japanese war.

CRANKY CHURCH PEOPLE.
A Request of Eighty Thousand
Dollars Refused.

A Benton Harbor, Michigan, bust
ness man, with a church connection,
writes a warm letter to local paper
concerning the refusal of the Metho-
dist Episcopal board OF foreign mis-
sions to accept the bequest of $50, 900
from the late Willis S. Cooper, who
lost his life in the Iroquois fire at
Chicago, "whose only questionable act
was in being found dead in theatre. -
He advises the board to "change it's
diet from yellow-lePged chiken to one
of calf brains"
Cranky people will get into the
church and into the foreign missionary
societies as well. 1t has been so since
the days of the apostles and will prob
ably be so to the end of time, but
new-fangled ones bob up now and then
to attract attention.
The question of theatre attendance
is one OF sentiment, and no one can
rightfully quarrel with him who OPP
poses the playhouse; but raising
money for the convention of the heath
en- is matter of business and until the
board who rejected Mr.. Cooper's $780,
600, rules that church cole 3tiOns for
the same purpose from people who at
tend not only the sanctuary but the
theatre should be rejected it will &C.
cupy an illogical position.

TnRoNGoF BUYERS CONTINUE
Special Half Price Brings Many
Patrons to Dawson Drug Co.

The people of Dawson and vicinity
appreciate the great advantage Dawson
Drug Co. obtained for them in getting
the DR.. Howard Co. to allow the regu-
lar so cent size OF DR.. Towards Spe-
cific for the cure of constipation and
dyspepsia to be sold at half price, 70
cents, and have bought hundreds OF
bottles.
Many orders have come by mail at
this popular price, for it is very unusu-
al to be able to buy sixty doses of a
standard medicine for half price.
Every bottle of the specific sold by
the Dawson Drug Co. had their person
al guarantee to refund the money if 1T
was not satisfactory, but none have
come pack, showing the wonderful
curative power of this remedy.
Unlike rdnary medicines for con-
stipation and dyspepsia, the dose OF
DR.. Howard's Specific is reduced after
few days use, and the cure is soon
complete and lasting.
In New York city the SPECIFIC is
very popular, and many club man
finds he can eat what he wants and
when he wants it if he takes dose OF
this remedy afterwards.
1t is only recently, on the persistent
advice of the Dawson Drug Co., that
DR.. Howards Specific has been sold
for less than 80 cents, but they urged
that it would be better to secure
quick introduction in Dawson in this
way, and the result has proven t2eir
good Judgment.
If YOU have not already taken ad-
vantage of this chance to get months
medical treatment for % cents be sure
to call at the Dawson Drug Cos. to-
day, for they have only small amount
of the specific on hand.

A Georgia backwoOds negro. dupiug
yankees by ludicrously transparent
device, .eaping the coin from parties
in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Missouri
and Arkansas, was the curious situa-
tion revealed by a remarkable case
tried inthe United States court in Co.
lumbus last week.
Living at the little railroad station
of Morris, over in Quitman county, the
negro sent out lot of circulars broad
cast over the land some of them even
going to Canada and in every state of
the union, and signed his name "Dr.
H. Jackson, M. D., Ph. D." He wrote
in glowing terms ola mystery he pos
sessed in the shape of loadstone that
would cause anyone to amass riches or
to have any wish gratified. For one
dollar he would send the secret to any
one, and it is astonishing in this en-
lightened day to note the number OF
people OF people who bit at that stu
pendous fraud. Among the witnesses
who were summoned to appear in Co
lumbus to testify against the negro
that they had been swindled by him
were a man from Mount Pleasant,
Tenn, one from Diamond, Ark, one
from Grant City, Mo-, and one from
HOboken, N. g., showing the wide
range over which the negroes circulars

WHAT 1T COST MR.. CONFER.

ment, AYERS on oath that he dropped

As these figures represent the ex
penses of the individuals, and not what
friends and interested outsiders did,
the honor seems to have come high.
Besides the amounts given by Mr.
Conner it is safe to say that several
thousand dollars were spent by the
mercantile bodies of the state, while
it is pretty generally accepted that the
railroads and allied interests spent

A FAREWELL TO POLITICS.
Remarks Made by Bob Taylor on
Quitting Governors Office.

The following was the farewell ad
dress delivered by Bob Taylor on
his retirement as governor OF Ten
nessee:
81 am about to shuttle off this mortal
coil of politics and fly away to the
haven of my native mountains, where |
may think and dream in peace safe from
the sickening sting of unjust criti-
cism; safe from the talOns of some old
political vulture; safe from the slimv
kiss and keen dagger of ingratitude. l
do not mean to say that all politicians
are vultures, or that they are all
..hypocrites or assassins, for the great
majority of our public men are upright
and honest, and worthy Of the con-
<hdence reposed In them by tbe people;
vet there are black wings IN the polit-
ical armament, and reptiles crawl and
hiss in every capital. But, thank-God,
the live thunders OF eternal truth
always clear the atmosphere, and the
heel of Justice will surely sbrulse the
serpent's head. l do not retire from
this Office with the ranking Of disap-
. pointment and chagr,n IN my bosom,
but rather as one who retires from
labor to rest, from war to peace, from
trouble to happiness!
''While | believe that the good in
politics outweighs the bad, yet how
thorny is the path, and how unhappy
the pilgrimage TO him who dares to do
his duty. There are no flowers except
a few boquets snatched from the
graves of fallen foes; there is no hap
piness except the transient thrill of
cruel triumph, which passes like a
shadow over the heart.
"Every honest man who runs for of
fee is candidate for trouble; the fruits
of political victory turn to ashes on the
lips. He is like a mariner without a
compass, drifting on the storm tossed
waves ofuucertainty, between the smil-
ing cliffs of hope and the frowning
crags OF fear. He is walking petition
and a living prayer; he is the drome-
dairy of politics.
"And even if he reaches the goal OF
his ambition he will soon feel the
beak of the vulture in his heart, and
the pang of the serpent in his soul. ="
