TAKEN wrrH CRAMPS

VIM. Kirmse, a member Of the
bridge gang working near Little
port was taken suddenly i'll Thurs
day night with cramps and kind
of cholera. His case was so severe
that he had to have the members Of
the crew wait upon him and Mr..
Clifford was called and consulted.
He told them he had a medicine in
the form Of Chamberlain Collie,
Cholera and Diafrohea Kennedy
that he thought would help him out
and accordingly several doses were
administered with the result that the

KurUpatkin's Report
All Advanced Positions Abandoned
Still OF the Retreat

St. Petersburg, Aug 2-The
emperor has received the following
dispatch from General Kuropatkin
dated Aug. l.
According TO the reports of of
fceI commanding the eastern por-
ton of our army, his troops, after
abandoning advanced positions i'll

Liandiandiansian toward Saimatze
and Lao Hang.
Yesterday our troops after a
stubborn fight retired from their
advanced position to their princi--
pal position, but although our
troops held their advanced positions
they sustained heavy losses. /
hope that in their main positions
they will maintain a successful
struggle even against the numeri-
.cally superior enemy.
According TO reports received
during the last few days General
Kuroki has effected a concentration
of his forces in order to strike i'll
The direction Of Saiuatsze and Lao
Yang.
All the japanese troops which
were posted in the direction Of
Bensikhon and near Sassyr seemed
to be Intended to operate on the
right bank Of the Taitse river.
To-day the enemy is acting un-
decidedly on the southern front.
but a reconnaissance has ascertained
the beginning Of a turning move
ment Of the left wing Of our troops
posted at Hal Cheng BY at least
three japanese divisions.
"Our eastern detachment was
engaged until noon today in the
direction Of Saimatsze and Lao
Yang. 1t was seen that the enemy
was advancing apparently in small
bodies against the right flank Of
our rear guard.

than war and death. One of them
| is cowafdice; another is dishonor
Thank God no stain of cowardice
or dishonor rests upon the Southern
cause, the Southern soldier or the
| Southern statesman. For these
reasons we are proud of the record
that we made in those dark days
when the American continent trem-
bled beneath the martial tread of
more than three million armed men
when our fair land was devasted by
fire and baptized i'll the blood of
brothers.
II is due to the confederate
veteran and his children that the
truth should be known and remem-
bered. Justice demands it. Those
who wore the gray were not traitors
and rebels; they were patriots and
heroes, and, as such, they are en-
titled to the respect of the world
and the venefation Of posterity.
They will receive this. 1t is true,
that for time, this was denied.
! But now that sectional hate has
run its course and exhausted its
venom, the truth is being acknow-
ledged. Whel Jefferson Davis
died the Grand Army post at New
Orleans asked and was allowed to
march in his funeral procession.
Thus did they bear open testimony
Of their appreciation Of his charac-
ter as an American citizen and
patriot. A monument to the
! Confederate dead rears its proud
form in the city of Chicago. A
president Of the United Statcs has
risen SO far above sectional feeling
as t. suggest that the graves of the
confederate soldiers should be
cared for by the government.
Charles Francis Adams has made a
public speech in which he demand
ed that the statue Of Robert L Lee
the beau ideal OF the south, should
be erected by the United States
government at Washington. Thus
within the lives Of those who diff
cred and fought, we see that just
ice is being done 70 the south. In
the course OF time no difference Of
opinion will exist. Ii will be ack
nowledged by all that this was a
fight among brothers. The pat
riotism Of no southern soldier will
be questioned
Why then should we hesitate TO
perpetuate the deeds of the past or
honor the memory Of our noble
dead2 We cannot be true to our
selves and do otherwise. Let us
teach our children the story of the
South and bid them be worthy Of
the gallant men aud the noble wo-
men from whom they have descend
ed. Let them know of the self
sacrifice, devotion aud magnificent
courage Of their mothers and
grandmothers during the days Of
the Confederacy. Our noble wo-
men never murmured. Their pure
hearts ached and yearned for theif
absent ones, whom they loved bet
ter than their own lives They
cheerfully submitted to all kinds
of inconvenience and without
complaint, they were deprived of
almost every luxury. Hands that
/ were unaccustomed to labor woi ked
day and night to send to the brave
men who were fighting the battles
lof their own country. With angelic
sweetness the nursed the wounded
and the sick. They did these
things without one word OF COM
plant. On the contrary they wrote
brave and patriotic letters TO the
soldiers in the army. God only
knows what they suffered We
can only repay them by rendering
deathless honor to their memory. Z"

ashamed to talk about them. They
stick right out like the nose Of your

might have said, if he had thought
of if, eff man blow not his own

he'll be blowed if he can see why

today, pure, white light and plenty

that yonr light is poor. If you

GOVERNMENT LAND.
A Plea For It's Reservation For the
Actual Settler and Home Maker.

A Plea For It's Reservation For the
Actual Settler and Home Maker.
During the last fiscal year, accord
ing to the report of the commissioner
of the general land Office, 22,650,92S
acres of the public lands were taken
up by private individuals These enor-
nous figures ought to be sufficient to
open the eyes of every one to the fact
that our public domain is passing into
the hands of private individuals at an
alarming rate and convince the people
of the urgent need of reform in our
land laws. The public lands, it has al
ways been commended, should be for
home builders, but it is fact beyond
dispute that but a small portion of the
land now passing out OF the hands or
the government goes to actual settlers
or to create homes. This fact, taken
in connection with recent exposures OF
wholesale land stealing by spectators
and syndicates, should arouse the peo-
pie to demand of their representatives
in congress to call a halt in this rapid
disposal of the remaining public lands.
Repeal the desert land act, timber and
stone act aud the Communication clause
of the homestead act and the stealing
of the public domain will stop.
Make it the law that not another
acre of government land shall pass to
private ownership until the applicant
for the same has shown his good faith
and real intention TO make his home
upon the land by actual residence and
cultivation for Il term of five years,
| and the occupation of the land specu-
| lator and land grabber will be gone.
Every bona fide settler who goes upon
| the land with the intention of making
| it his home is more than willing to
| abide by such n law 1t is the specu-
| Iator and public land grabber who
| nave pro6ted by the Communication
clause in the homestead act and not
the actual settler and home maker.

Dressing by Lottery.

The girls employed in the English pot
teries are good looking and we'll dress
ed. They have taste, which is cultivated
by the art work of the factories. Many
of them are more stylish perhaps than
their position seems to warrant, but
this is easily explained. They buy
their clothes by a system known as
maxims. This means that twelve
girls subscribe a shilling week. The
money is held by a forewOman, and
when there is sufficient cash to buy a
hat or dress the girls draw lots, and
the winner has the new dress, while
the other subscribers have to wait their
turn. Then, in all the glory of ribbons
and fnery, the lucky pot girl appears
on Sunday-London Spectator.

There is a curious superstition among
the vineyard owners of Italy that the
man who takes a bath in the juice of

readers will say that there is quite as
much sense in this notion as in the
English custom of drinking "A happy

The DEMOCRATIC WOLF AGAIN.

Philadelphia Press.
When lhe gaunh wolf skunk up to the
farmers door and asken to be penned up
with the sheep he failed to hide the blood
stains on his jaw. AS soon as this pirate
of the woods opened bis mouth the farmer
saw where his lost lamb had disappeared.
The audacious and shameless Beast, feel
ing that an explanation was due, admitted
that he would eat the sheep In the pen II
he got chance, but be added: "You
know you will tie me with a chain and
therefore will be harmless" But the
farmer sensibly decided that wolf outside
of bis Areepfold was much safer PROPOSE
ton than ravenous animal indde and IL
able to break loose, and drove of the
monster.
The Democratic party has always beer
the foe of protective tariff. 1t has aim
ed not to reform schedules as change IN
the times may require, but has rather be-
lieved in killing ell protection. Judge
Parker now asks the people to elect him
President of the United States. Like the
unprincipled Wolf, he knows that ar
apology Is necessary, SO be says: Eyes,

Senate will tie my hands, 80 can do nc

Is the Wolf with the blood stains of hi

dacious or impudent than the candidate
who appeals for votes, while at the same
time saying the only revson he would no
strike down all protective tariffs is because
the Republicans would not let him do 30

parture from the wise and just precedents
of the fathers and violation of the fun
damental principle underlying the making
of all Constitutions
Our Richmond contemporary in speak
ing of the Republicans of the Ninth Dis
trict, was right in saying, "They are Vir-
glnians, bone of Virginia bone and flesh
Of Virginia flesh, who have im-
bibed reverence for our Fundamental
doctrines with their mothers milk
This accounts for the undying hostility OF
the Republicans Of this section to the Vr'
ginia Democracy, which has violated with
out any scruple every fundamental princi-
pie of the government. This is also why
the Republicans of the Ninth District viii
laugh at any criticisms made by our con-
temporary against the record of Colonel
Slemp and the administration of President
Roosevelt. They like them both and will
vote for them in November.

Mr.. BRYAN IN THE FIELD.

We are gratifed to read the announce
ment that Mr.. William Jennings Bryan
has offered his services to the Nations
Democratic Committee, and that be will
take the stump in October, and make O
number of speeches in behalf Of Parker
and Davis. Mr.. Bryan's services are
greatly needed in some sections. There
are Democrats who are extreme in their
views and whC, according to reports, are
disposed to vote the Populist ticket.
Richmond Times Dispatch.
The Democratic party must indeed be
in deplorable state OF confusion and
CONSERVATION when the Richmond Times
Dispatch expresses qualification over the
fact that William Jennings Bryan has
offered bis services to the Democratic
Committee and that they have been ac-
cepted. This is a great change in the
attitude of our Richmond contemporary.
1t has been most incorporating critic
ofMr. Bryan's political convictions, and has
all the while insisted that the future welfare
of the Democracy was dependent upon the
crushing Of Organism. Now it is delighted
to have him go upon the stump to preach
the same doctrines it hes uniformly de-
nounced, and to have him draw into the
fold the men with Popuistic ideas,
without any remuneration Of their faith.
From the heretofore standpoint Of the
Times Dispatch, In sheer desperation, it
seems willing to make a league with the
devil to win. Poor old Times. Dispatch.
1t is pitiful in its weakness. e
