GAINESVILLE

Some of the farmers living along the
line of the proposed irrigation ditch west
of the city to drain the Evansville marsh,
have expressed themselves as against
the proposed plans and have found suf-
ficient flaws in the contracts to bring the
matter into court, and it is probable
that all plans for the construction will
be dropped until the court settles law
points involved.
A local concern capitalized at $4,000
may soon undertake the manufacture of
sand-lime or cement brick in GAINESVILLE.
Prospects were discussed at a meeting
held in the office of Fisher & Oestreich,
and valuable information was CLEANED
from the talks of Arthur Macarthur, an
engineer for the United Statas Steel Go,
of Elwood Ind, and an expert brick
manufacturer from Fond du Lac. The
quality and quantity of the sand here
and the moderate price at which it can
be secured give the city certain natural
advantages for the location Of such fac
tory. The concern contemplated would
have capacity of $4,000 brick a day.
The agents of the Japanese govern =,
ment, who spent some time in this local
ity recently looking up live stock, made
numerous purchases from breeders near
Beloit. among the purchases were four
head of brown Swiss cattle Of lnman
Brothers of Plymouth. The japanese
gentlemen are not novices in the stock
business and know about what they want
and what it is worth to them. They are
not combining themselves to any particu-
lar breed of cattle or hogs, provided the
stock will thrive in their country. They
have long been experimenting with
American stock and learn that we have
much of that which is best on earth.
Tie Inman cattle will be shipped with
the greatest care to land them in good
condition.
Aunt Laura, the famous racing mare,
formerly owned by John Fisher of this
city and recently purchased by L G
Brewer, has gone here last heat The
plucky old campaigner was entered in
the 2:l6 pace at Evansville Friday and

fourth the game old mare was coming
along we'll when at the three-quarters
she pitched headlong to the track,
throwing the driver out of the sulky.

driver received nc injury but the mare
was dead. This is the second racer that
has been so injured that it was neces-
sary to kill it on this same track during
the past week.
Nearly dead from the loss of blood,
caused by vicious attack by dog,
seven-year-cld Frank Lentz was found
by the roadside three miles west of this
city late Friday afternoon. Two bad
wounds were found on his little right
arm between the wrist and elbow. Both
gashes were deep ones and from these
the blood flowed so freely that the boy
condition was so weak that he was I'M
able to walk home unassisted. The boy
stated that the dog pitched on him while
walking in the middle of the road toward
home. He fought him as best he could
but was soon overpowered. The dog be-
longed to neighboring farmer and has
been known as dangerous animal for
some time. If blood poisining does not
| set in the boy will undoubtedly recover

Mukden, Sept. 6.-The commissariat
and columns of artillery are arriving
here and proceeding northward. Gen

an extensive rearguard action. The
retreat of General Kuropatkin's army
is being carried out in good order, de-

horses, and even bullocks are strain

back of them still Kuropatkin's army
The japanese are hanging on Kuro-

engaged in continuous rearguard
action. The progress Of the retreat
ing army has been slow, owing to the
necessity of first getting through the
baggage and guns but the heads CT
the cOmmissariat trains already have
passed through Mukden and are con-
tinuing their way towards the north.
The main japanese army is march
ing up along the roads eastward of the
Russian lines of retreat, which con-
verge at Mukden. Another japanese
force is also heading for Mukden from
the westward, coming from the direc-
ton of the Lao river. Marshal Oyama
seems to be making race for Muk-
den. He evidently has great supe-
riority in numbers, especially in artil-

as 1T LOOKS AT ST. PETERSBURG
Both Armies Now Across the Taitse Russ
Guards Against Thanking.


st. Petersburg. Sept 6, 30 a. M
A summary of the war situation to
date shows that the whole Russian
army, or at least the main portion of
it, is already above Yentai station
and is pushing on toward Mukden.
Field Marshal Oyama's entire army
has crossed the Taitse river, and part
of it is hanging upon Kuropatkin's
flank. \ strong thanking column on
the east is pushing rapidly north in
the effort to head off the Russians
Against this column Kuropatkin has
sent out a strong cavalry division to
the northeast, which it is believed is
already in position to check the Jap
anese fankers, while to the westward
Kuropatkin is moving a division to-
ward Sinmintin, thirty miles west of
Muken, to meet any interference that
may be attempted from the direction
of YinkoW or New Chwang. Oyama's
advance is reported to be engaging the
Russian rear, but it is not expected
to develop anything more serious than
series of rear-guard actions tending
to harrass Kuropatkins retreat. The
japanese have thrown a strol g flank
ing column across the TaitSe river at
Renitzu, about thirty miles northeast
of LiaOyang. This column is hurrying
to the northeast. and endeavoring to
get in between the Russian army and
Mukden. It is against this movement
that Kuropatkin has dispatched Lieu
tenant General Rennenkampf with a
strong COSsack division.
Kuropatkin has three roads over
which he is marching toward Mukden,
besides the double tracked railroad.
The latter is chiefly occupied in the
transportation of guns and of equip
ment, Of which there is a great Quanti-
ty The soldiers are marching III light

already been dispatched north by rail.

of the clay pigeons met death by coming
into a sudden and violent contact with
the earth and not as would have been
supposed from malice aforethought on
the part of the marksmen. Maybe the
day was unlucky.

men were getting the cattle home for

pals of water might have put out the
fire, but when the men came to the
scene the flames had spread to the top
of the stack. They at once set about
pouring water on the sides and roofs of
the adjoining buildings, and aided by
the good fortune of an almost dead calm,
they succeeded in saving them. The
fire had started in the chaff near by and
worked it's way to the stack.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 6, 500 a. NJ
1t is impossible at this hour to obtain
any statement from the authorities re-
garding the reported preparations for
the abandonment of Mukden This is
the first intimatiOn that such a course
is contemplated. If it turns out to
be true it means the abandonment of
the whole of southern Manchuria and
the winding up of the present cam
paign. In fact, should Mukden be
evacuated, there would be no point for

Means That Kuropatkin Is Hard Hit.
On the other hand the evacuation of
Mukden would give Field Marshal Oya-
ma cOmmOdious winter quarters and
the practical control of two lines of
railway. The KinchOu-Sinmintin line,
tapping rich Chinese territory, stops
little short Of Mukden, with which it
is connected by a good wagon road.
The report of the prospective evacua-
ton of Mukden, if we'll founded, would
indicate that the crippling effect of the
LiaOyang fighting on Kuropatkin's
army is more serious than has as yet
been intimated.
Casualties, 10000; Guns Abandoned, 600.
That KurOpatkin's army has been
greatly crippled would appear very
probable from another dispatch which
says that the Russian losses during
the fighting at LiaOyang are estimated
at 10000, and there is no doubt here
that a number of guns, especially siege
artillery, We're abandoned at LiaOyang.
The number of guns abandoned is put
at 200 but it is stated that they were
all rendered useless before the Rus
slams evacuated the town.
