st. Petersburg, Oct. 4. - Again
from the front but some relief Is
manifested at the war Office by the
receipt of information which def
nitely locates Kuroki's army and
according to which he has not ap-
preciably changed his position
along the line from Bensihu to
Bentsiaputze. Nodzu still occupies
Yentai and Oku is to the west Of
the railroad The Russian out
posts are as far south as the
Shakhe river, fifteen miles from
Mukden. Oyama is reported to be
with the fourth army which at one
time was understood to have con-
siderable proportions. 1t now
seems to be a small affair, not
much over brigade, and it's mis-
sion probably is only to cause
demonstration on the Russian left.
London, Oct. ALARM is felt
in st. Petersburg over the sit
uation. 1t is feared that the
movement on the east was only feint
to cover important developments else
where, probably on the west, where
Oku's operations are becoming aggres
sive.
Meanwhile General Nodzu is NOV

vance positions at Fengtiapu, sixteer
miles south Of the city having beer

THIRTY DAYS in JAIL.
Woman Admits Burial of Child Within
City Limits Without Permit.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Thirty days in the county Jail was
the penalty imposed upon Maggie
O'Connor by Judge Z. G. Moon in po-
lice court this morning. The charge
was the burying of a human body
within the city limits without a per-
NIT from the board of health. No
other charge was preferred against the
girl and it Is not likely owing to the
almost utter impossibility of proving
that the life of the child was taken
If such We're the case. When arraigned
this morning the plea of not guilty was
withdrawn and a plea of guilty as
charged was substituted. The SEN
tence was imposed upon this plea.
