The flood in the Cache La Poudre
valley in Colorado, caused by the
water spout in the foothills Friday
afternoon, reached its height at Gree
ley between and IL o'clock Saturday
morning. The only life lost. so far as
yet known, is Robert Strouss, who was
drowned near Tingmath. A number OF
people are missing. and owing to con.
dition Of the roads and washing out OF
bridges, 1t is impossible as yet to as.
certain whether or not they lost their
lives.

INNING FOR THE JAPS.
Little Brown Men Take kal Chou
From the Russians.

Although 1t has not been officially
reported, it is said en- good authority
that the Japanese forces captured Kai
Chou, driving the Russians back to
Tashi Chi in the direction Of New
chwang, and preventing the advance
Of the Russian troops at Newchwang
in the direction of Kai Chou.
The bombardment by the Japanese of
the vicinity of Kai Chou recently was
probably in preparation for the land
ing of forces in the northwest corner
Of the Laio Tung peninsula for the
purpose Of capturing Newchwang and
cooperating with the other armies in
the march on Lao Yaung.

FIsnkina Column Encounters Cos

Following on the heels OF the news
of the disasters to the Japanese feet
the general staff at St Petersburg
has received official advices of the
defeat of the Japanese force which
was marching northward from Feng
Wang Cheng for the purpose Of exc
cutting flank movement on Mukden.
Details of the dispatch will not be
made public until 1t has been passed
on by the war commission, but
enough has been communicated to
make it Gear that in order to save
themselves from destruction the
Japanese we're compelled to retreat
toward Feng Wang Cheng. Since Gen.
eral Kuroki sent column northward
to gain the road leading directly west
from Mukden, General Kuropatkin
has kept 1t under the closest survell-
lance, awaiting the moment when 1t
should be so distant from the main
Japanese army as to prevent its easy
reinforcement. In observing this plan,
the Russians withdrew, and the Jap
anese not finding a strong force Of
the enemy before them continued TO
advance. When the time for action
came General Kuropatkin let General
Rennenkampff loose from leash.
General Rennenlampf had under
his command only few regiments,
but they were the flower OF the Cos
sack cavalry. On May Is he fell on
the enemy. whose number has not yet
been revealed, with such vigor as to
compel the Japanese retirement

enough, 1t is presumed. to have re-
ceived reinforcements from General
Kuroki, who must Immediately have

WILL SETTLE OWN TROUBLES.
Russia Will Treat With the Mikado,
But Not With Europe.

Considerable irritation is mani
tested by the Russian papers over the
suggestion made by NJ. Dubail, the
French minister at Picking, that a
congress of the powers be held for
the purpose of effectlng conclusion
of the war. The Novoe Vremya says:
THE war is Russias personal af-
fair and she asks no ones assistance.
When 1t is ended she will negotiate
with the mikado,' but not with Eu-
rope. Therefore, we regret that the
representative Of Russia's ally should
be the first to utter the word CON
gress.'"

THOUSAND JAPS SLAIN
RUSSIANS MAKE SUCCESSFUL soR.
TIE FROM PORT ARTHUR.
Troops Routed the Japanese and Drove
Them a Considerable Distance,
According to the Report.

News has been received in st. Pet
ersburg confirming the rumors In cir
culation that General Stoessel had
made successful sortie from Port Ar
thur, resulting in the defeat of the Jap
anese with a loss of more than 1000
killed or wounded The Russian losses
were ZIG killed or wounded.
The movement was carried out by a
combination with a train bringing In
war munitions and supplies and Cen
eral Stoessels force communications
being maintained by wireless teleg-
raphy.
The Japanese barred the route be-
tween the train and General StoessePs
force, whereupon the Russians attack
ed and routed the Japanese. After the
engagement General StoessePs force,
together with the train, returned to
Port Arthur.
The current accounts of the Port
Arthur sortie are somewhat conflicting
and there Is some doubt as to whether
the version mentioning the train is
correct. But the operation is describ-
ed as having been brilliantly carried
out by the Russians. General Stoes-
sci, 1t is said, made new distribution
of his guns before taking part In the
sortie. The Russian troops fought
with great bravery, breaking the Jap
anese line and carrying the enemy for
q considerable distance.

Raging Flood Sweeps Down colorad

A cloudburst at the head Of the
Cache La Poudre river caused that
stream to overflow it's banks, and
meagre reports received in Denver in

caused by the food. The rush of the
flood caused the dam which holds tho

swept down the Cache La Poudre,
practically wiping out the towns OF

was among calling gowns for the Lenten
period that the artist sketched for these
pictures Her first selection was fuchsia
yoile banded with silk Of the same color,
the bands fringed, and with white silk
yoke extending over the arms. In her
next picture are brown broadcloth trim
med with brown satin, and a gray voile
self-trimmed Both these suits depended
much on accompanying furs. In the next
picture are a purple venetian cloth trim
med with sable and embroidery OF white
passementerie, and a royal blue Atamina
trimmed with silk cording of the same
shade, and with collar and vest of panne
velvet to match.
Costumes of this grade are not very
useful to majority of women, except as
they give insight into approaching fash
ions, for of course the ordinary woman
isn't going to get up a fine gown for no
other purpose than for Lenten calls. But
considered as intermediates between win
ter and spring, these dresses are Of gen.
eral interest. They are marked by much
elaboration of skirts, and by continuance
of shoulder slope. Some spring materials
are put into them, as if to pTc the goods

Many of these goods are fecked in their
own color, and there are many embroid-
cred sorts among the plain ones. A run
of mohair is indicated, too, for deal OF

The former two are fine for the most
part. and most OF the wider sorts have
bright color mixed with the gold. Gilt
buttons are of al sizes. Tiny ones are
used in considerable numbers. While the
larger ones rarely are numerous on any

A great many Of the current military
touches in bodices and these suggestions

cities for immediate supply the grower
will very likely get caught. Cabbage
also is worthy of attention as it may

why many of the ordinary farms may
not become far more profitable than
as at present conducted.

WILD WOMAN OF THE ALPS.
Discovered 10000 Feet Above the
Level of the Sea.

- AOBCOO CCL AOOfC the
Level of the Sea.
wild woman of the mountains has
been discovered in the Bernese Alps
under most strange circumstances. A
sportsman from Lauenen, whiie on
deserted portion of the Wildhorn, shot
and wounded chamois He tracked
the injured animal for long distance
along the rugged cliffs, when sudden
ly he heard not far away strange
means, as of some animal in pain.
Led by the sounds, he found on mar
row ledge of rock the PROSTATE form
of woman in apparently the last
stage of starvation and exhaustion.
Her bones were forcing their way
through the skin, her face was hidden
by a tangled mass of black hair, which
partially covered her naked shoulders;
her finger nails were sharp, like the
claws of animals, and her bare feet
were protected by a thick sole Of
horn cuticle. Her only covering was
a scant patchwork of sacking and odd
rags.
AT the sight of the man she scream
ed wildly and attempted to rise and
escape, but was too weak to stand up.
Help was procured, and she was CON
veyed to Gessenay, where the strange
story of her discovery at an altitude
of over 10000 feet up the mountain
created widespread interest. When
she had been fed and had somewhat
recovered, her alarm at seeing people
around her seemed acute, and again
and again she attempted to run away
from her preservers. She CRASHED her
teeth, attempted to bite and scratch
those who held her and abused them
in an unknown tongue resembling a
rough mountain patois, but which none
of the French, German and Italian
peasants who tried to converse with
her was in the least able to under
stand. Her history is a mystery, but
it is thought possible that she was de-
serted by some band of gypsies and
has been wandering half demented
and alone on the Alps for many
months.-London Express.
