Toxic, Dec. 2-3 P. Mt is reported
here that the Russians have attempted
to retake 203 Metre hill. They assem-
bled a strong force and assaulted the
position, but were repulsed with heavy
loss.
The japanese finding sailors among
the Russian dead believe that if men
from the fleet are being employed in
making sorties the complement of the
force must be falling short.
The fact that the Russians are forti-
flying the positions available between
Liaoti and Maniac mountains, increases
the belief that they will make their last
stand there.
Imperial headquarters makes the an
nouncement that II officers have been
killed and 81 wounded in the field, but

The details of the attack of the
swordsmen at Port Arthur are unknown
here and a difference of opinion exists
as to whether any of the attacking par
ties were armed exclusively with
swords. Possibly. many Of the soldiers
carried swords in addition to their
bayonets, for the Japanese retain much

RAILROAD NEWS.
Pacific Railroads May Put In
Electric Motors.
Expert Making Investigation of
Conditions.
HARNESS WATERFALLS
Plan Is Favored on Account of
Saving In Fuel Expense.
Gossip and Matters or Interest
i'm Railroad Circles.

Many railroads are planning to use
electric instead of steam power for
their light suburban trains, but the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
want to substitute electric motors for
their heaviest freight engines.
An expert from one of the largest
electric manufacturing concerns has
spent several weeks investigating the
question of electric traction on the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
roads in the Rocky mountains.
He reports that the water power in
the Cascades is sufficient to furnish
electricity for motors to take the place
of steam engines on the mountain d1-
visions, and the the cost of furnishing
electric power will be much less than
the cost of the coal used in engines.
The coal consumption of both roads
through the mountains is very heavy.
The Northern Pacific is fortunate in
having it's own coal fields on both sides
of the Cascade range Its coal costs the
company $135 a ton. The Northern Pa
cific has shipped a great deal OF It's
coal to San Francisco for the Southern
Pacific but this market has been cur
tailed by the introduction of oil burn
ing engines on the Southern Pacific.
The Great Northern is not so fortu-
nate in its coal supply in the noun
tains. 1t buys a great deal of coal
from the Northern Pacific and uses
about $50, 900 tons of coal from Illinois
mines annually. This coal costs con-
siderably more than that brought
through the lakes, but it furnishes
northbound tonnage for the Burlington
Last year the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern roads used over 5000 900
tons of coal, and the average cost was
over 81 per ton. This expense would
be greatly reduced if trains could be
moved by electricity produced by noun
tain waterfalls.

ONE MORE TURN.
Edison Franchise Receives a
Few More Touches.
Company Agrees to Eight Cent
Rate for City Light.
FREE LIGHT PLAN LOST
MIR. MuIvane Said That He
Wouldn't Accept 1t.
Twenty Year Clause lis Also
Voted Down. l

As a compromise with the city on the
proposition of furnishing free electric
light for the city offices, police and fire
stations, the Edison company last
night, through its president, Joab Null
vane, offered to make the city a rate
of s cents per ki1owatt on all the cleo
tricity which it uses. This will mean
an annual reduction of from $500 to
$500 in the city's bill.
This proposition by Mr.. Mulvane was
made after Councilman Hughes had in
nance requiring the company to fur
nish the city free light. Mr.. Mulvane
said:
1--WE couldn't accept that ordinance
with the free light amendment. 1t
would result in tax on the consumers
for the benefit of the city. It would
increase the cost of light and power
to the general consumers of the city. 1t
is not right in principle. Furthermore,
it would lead to an untold waste of
gas by the city. l have had it in mind
to make a proposition to the city, when
this thing is all over with, that the
company make the city a very low rate
for its light; much lower than the city
would be entitled to under the ord1-
nance schedule. We would do this in
Difference to the sentiment which seems
to prevail with some that the city
should have special concessions in this
matter. We will offer to give the city
it's light for all its buildings, excepting
the Auditorium room, at cents per
kilowatt, which will save the city from
$500 to $500 a year on its light BILL
Following these remarks, the council
voted down Councilman Hughes
amendment for free lights by the fol-
lowing roll call:
For the amendment-Nellis, Sinner,
Hughes.
Against the amendment-Griley, Neil,
Green, Rice, Howe, Swendson.
Absent-kutz, Ryder, Holiday.
This vote was taken at about 11:30 at
night, after Councilmen Kutz and
Ryder had left to catch the last car for
North Topeka. Councilman Holiday
was absent from the city.
One of Mayor BergundthaPs pet
ideas was finally conceded by the COM
pany last night, after a lengthy dis
cussion. and it will probably improve
the chance which the ordinance has of
receiving the mayors signature after
it's passage by the council next Mon
day night. Mr.. Mulvane agreed to
to extend it's service wires 500 feet
whenever there is a customer who de-
sires to take electric light. The ordin-
ance as it has stood heretofore re-
quired the company to put in the free
service wires only 100 feet.
The fight over this amendment was
the first one which came up before the
committee of the whole at the Thurs
day night meeting. Councilman Howe
introduced a resolution increasing the

STARVED TO DEATH.

Our text today is the story of the
miser who taught his ass to live on
straw, of which he gave him a smaller
portion every day.
Just as the miser had got him so
trained as to eat one straw day-the
poor ass died.
He is an ass who starves himself to
death-as thousands are doing, misled
by foolish teachers-because their
stomachs have become too weak,
through neglect or disease, to do the
work which nature has provided for
their StomachS to do.
Because the engine is out of gear,
would you consign it to the junk
heap?
Why, no! Mend it!
Commit slow suicide because your
digestive organs leak?
Certainly not! Take Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets
One thing is sure as shooting.
You can never get a new stomach.
You must mend it, or it will lead
you a miserable existence.
The only way to mend it is to take
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
This has been practically and scien-
thousands whom Stuarts- Dyspepsia
Tablets have positively cured, after
every other treatment of medicine,
mineral waters, pills. and slow, sui
cidal starvation, had failed.
These methods are all unscientiflc-
therefore false.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sci
entific-therefore true, and successful.
Having cured SO many thousands
many of whom doubtless have suf-
fered more than you do-do we claim
too much when we say that Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets will surely do good
for you?
Surely not.
Especially when we make 1t plain
that no promise is made to cure more
than one acknowledgements.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are a
positive cure for just this one dis
ease.
They are a scientific com bination of
ingredients which search out the weak
spots in all the digestive organs and
make them strong and well.
They have an immediate digestive
action on undigested food, and thus,
lille curing weak organs, they at the
same time help them to do their work.
They thus stand for all that is good
in the medical treatment of Dyspepsia,
and for nothing that is bad.
They are not a fad but a fact.
They are safe, pleasant, certain and
permanent, and can be taken by the
most delicate invaIids without fear of
harmful results.

came fiscal agents for the Rock Island
system they suggested that Mr.. Loree
be made president of the company.
