Washington, Sept. 1.-The japanese
minister has received the following
dispatch from Toxic:
According to telegraphic advices
received at headquarters this after
noon our army corps on the left, by
fierce and repeated assaults, took pos
session of the heights which the enc
my's right occupied Thereupon the
enemy south of Liao Yang began re-
treating. The, Japanese army is now

Japs at Lao Yang.
st. Petersburg, Sept. 2.-1:26 a.
m.-The Japanese have occupied Lao
Yang and the Russian army has with
drawn to the right bank of the Taitze
river. The news reached only small
section of the people of ST. Petersburg
at late hour and caused intense ex-
citement and disappointment.
The majority of the inhabitants re-
tired to rest believing that the Rus
sian army had again been successful
and the Japanese attacks had been
repelled.
Ugly suspicious, however, have
been rife during the day, owing to the
absence of the press kilograms from
Lao Yang, leading to the belief that
the communications had been cut by
General Kuroki. The following state
ment by the Associated Press from the
war Office at 10 o'clock Thursday night
has been received:
Associated Press Statement.
General Kuroki's army crossed in
force to the right bank of the Taitze
river and it therefore became neces-
sary for the Russians to be in posi-
tion to repel blow in this direction.
"In view of this development in the
operations, General Kuropatkin decid-
ed to abandon his position on the
left bank and to concentrate his whole
army on the other side. This posi-
tion is the strongest, both in character
and in site. The great issue will be
finally decided there.
"By withdrawing to this position
the Russian army avoids the danger
of being divided by the river and en-.
joys the advantage of compactness.
Not a. Retreat.
General Kuropatkin's move, there
fore, is not to be considered as re-
treat, but rather as the carrying out
of well defined idea"
The withdrawal of the Russians to
the right bank of the river involved
the abandonment of Liao Yang, which
is situated on the left bank. The Japa-
nese took advantage of this to occupy
the city, but the sternest part of the
fighting is still before them, unless
General Kuropatkin decides at the
last hour to again fall back to the
nOrthWard
Fight to Finish.
It is more than likely, however, that
he will decide to fight to finish. The
cards are all in his favor, it is be-
lieved, now that he has the Japanese
divided by the river, thus effectually
turning the tables upon his foe.
The determined pursuit by the Japa-
nese of the Russian outposts when
General Kuropatkin gave the first or
der to withdraw was probably due to
their anxiety to keep the Russians
south of Liao Yang until General Ku-
roki should be able to strike from
the northeast. General Kuropatkin,
however, saw the trap and cleverly
avoided it.

As A Northerner SEES Us.

! Mrs. H G. Miner, who is spend

series of interesting letters to hel
home paper, the Sprlngfield(M Mo- J
Republican,. The following letter
was written on tie occasion of a
visit to Ocean Springs:
'There are SO many industries
claiming the worlds attention to

From Gulfport behind a spirited
span, we drive north five or six
miles to spend red letter day upon
Pecan Farm, to gather wild flowers
and fill our baskets with pecans
which still thickly cover the ground
although many barrels have been
shipped. This is the native uncuI-
uyated fruit having strangely
enough its peculiar characteristic
for each individual tree, as little
maid Gertrude soon arprized US by
singing out here and there trees
which she assured US were "no good"
although the nnts were large. while
others, though small and perhaps.
cracked, were fine and juicy. We
roam from tree to tree 10 sample
nnts while filling our baskets until,
like stuffed turkeys, we are IN poor
condition to do justice to the ample
lunch of our hostess. This. natural
fruit sells readily for ten, fifteen
and twenty cents per pound, accord
ing to quality. Having sampled a
dozen or more varieties, pronounc>
ing them all good, we are ready to
open our eyes In amazement to be
treated later to nuts which sell at
Sl.00 to Sl.50 per pound. This is,
of course, the stamp cultivation has
put upon them. To show you
these as they are being cultivated
for the Worlds markets come with
up to gem of this coast, Ocean
Springs. To the writer this is re-
turning to first love, since part of
two successive winters have been
spent here before. The coast is
high and bluffy, there is a land-
scape varied not only by sea view
but bayou and back bay scenery,
some of it picturesque. 1t is sim-

that the town possesses the finest
orange groves and pecan orchards
on the coast, yet this is true. Our
hostess sent us across the Fort Bay.

scenery and look at Rose Farm,
not telling us we were coming to

spreading acres Of orange, pecan
ard fig trees. When we came upon
oranges glowing in the January sun
We could hardly believe our eyes.
Here was grove containing 1000
trees from two TO four years old,
all in bearing condition. For the
first time We enjoyed a feast of
Satsuma oranges plucked from the
trees. The largest part of the crop
had been harvested, but enou b

WHAT WOMEN
WANT TO KNOW

Treating Moth Patches-can you tell me
how can get rid Of brown spots which
have dIsfgured my face for the last
seven years7 When get overheated
they seem to draw and burn.-violette.
From the description given Of your
trouble think you are suffering from a
torpid liver and defective circulation, and
needful to effect relief. The brown spots
or moth patches are indications Of, slug
gtsh circulation in the capilaries Of the
skin, which has caused the deposit of coll
oring matter to settle in spots in the
layers Of the epidermis To dislodge these
dishguring patches will require time and
persistent effort, but I think it can be
done and your health greatly improved as
well. Begin the internal treatment by
drinking at least q half pint Of hot water
every morning before breakfast. Get
some dandelion liver pills and take one in
the morning and another before retiring,
to relieve the liver and the blood Of the
accumulated impurities. Continue the use
of these pills for at least six months, TAX
ing only one each day after the first three
months. Twice each day. preferably morn
ing and evening, massage over the stom-
ach and abdomen to excite more rapid
circulation and incidentally it will assist
all the internal organs to perform theil
several functions with greater regularity
The movement should be rotary, followed
by gentle kneading, and the massage
should be continued for at least twenty
minutes. Be very careful Of your diet
avoiding all foods which are liable tt
