Kuroki ond Oku are meditating a
combined attack on Gen. Kuropatkin
before he is further reinforced. In

Gen. Oku recently has been directing
the siege operations against Port Ar

second place in the plans of the Japa-

There is a rumor in st. Petersburg
tonight that a battle at Hai-Cheng is
actually proceeding and that there have
been heavy losses on both sides. There
is, however, no confirmation of this
rumor.

ment of the Japanese troops has been
made in the direction of Siu-Yen and

A curious version Of the origin of
"Uncle Sam" has heen discovered in
an old almanac published in Lexing-
ton, Ky, in 1914. The phrase is ex-
planned in the following words:
"'Uncle Sam is a cant phrase signifi-
can't of the United States, as John
Bull is significant Of England. The
origin Of it seems to be this: In the
year 1897 there was authorized by
law the raising of regiment Of light
dragons. When the company first
appeared their caps bore the letters u.
S. L. D., signifying the United States
Light Dragons. A countryman, see
ing the company in dress parade, asked
bystander what the letters stood for.
Why was the answer, that means
Uncle Sans Lazy Dogs Since that
time the use of the term has become
general.

TRAIN THUGS ON THE LINE
Two Attempts Made to Hold Up Trains OF
the Denver and Rio Grande
Railway.

Salida, Colo, Nov. 29.-It has de-
veloped that attempts were made to
hold up two west-bound Denver and
Rio Grande passenger trains at Cor
don Siding. Only the attempt on No.
1, known as the Denver and Ogden
express, was reported to Superintend-
ent Lukes at Salida. This was the
second and principal assault by the
train robbers. The first attempt was
made on second section of No. 5, known
as the California limited. This was
not reported to headquarters, as the
train crew thought the shots fired into
the cab came from guns in the hands
of persons who wished to be revenged
on the railroad for either a fancied or
real cause.
Some Of the trainmen still cling to
the revenge theory, but others hold
that a gang of train robbers is operat-
ing in Chafee county. Of the two
shots fired on No. 5, one ploughed its
way through the cap of Fireman Ar
thur and tore away tuft of hair.
