have come in and surrendered. Our
prisoners include 80 officers, 20 of
whom are wounded and 800 men, 100 of
whom are wounded.

Paris.-A st. etersburg correspond
ent says:
The Japanese artillery included Is
siege guns, which were brought from
from Yokohoma on gunboats and land

batteries on the opposite bank.

we were unable to hold our positions
during the retreat we inflicted heavy
losses on the enemy.

Auotting Pine Lumber Lands.

Musllogee, 1. T.. May THE allot-
ment of the pine timber lands in the
Choctaw nation is going on at the land
Office at Atoka. According to the gov
eminent survey, there are 100000
acres of this land, upon which are
1000, 900, 900 feet of valuable pine. The
lowest commercial value is So thou
sand feet, making the timber alone on
the tract worth the enormous sum of
So, 400, 900. The timber cannot be sold
until nine months after the allotment,
as that time is required for the fling
of contests. When the Choctaw land
office first opened this timber region
was withheld from allotment by the
Dawes commission because that body
considered the rights of the Indians
not properly protected. Congress,
however, refused to segregate the tim

Baby Finds Bottle Of carboIIc Acid
and Drinks II.
While the mother was unpacking
an old trunk a little IS months old
baby got hold of bottle of carbolic
acid while playing on the floor and
his stomach was so badly burned it
was feared he would not live for he
could not eat ordinary foods. The
mother says in telling of the case:
''It was all two doctors could do to
save him as it burnt his throat and
stomach so bad that for two months
after he took the poison nothing
would lay on his stomach. Finally I
took him into the country and tried
new milk and that was no better for
him. His Grandma finally suggested
Grape-Nuts and l am thankful | adopt
ed the food for he commenced to get
better right away and would not eat
anything else. He commenced to get
fieshy and his cheeks like red roses
and now he is entirely well
81 took him to Matamoras on a visit
and every place we went to stay to
eat he called for Grape-Nuts and
would have to explain how he came
to call for it as it was his main food.
THE names of the physicians who
attended the baby are Dr. Eddy of
this town and DR.. Geo. Gale of New
port, o., and any one can write to
me or to them and learn what Grape
Nuts food will do for children and
grown-ups too" Name given by

Are Working Hard in Preparation for
 Their Coming Minstrel Entertain
 ment.
 The boys of the Edwin Bancroft Foote Boys club are hustling to make their coming entertainment grand success in every particular. Tickets are BOW on sale and advance returns show that Foy Auditorium will be crowded the 2Sth. when the club mem bers seetheir friends in minstrelism. The rehearsals for the entertainment are in progress evenings at the club house on Chapel street this week, and next week rehearsals will be held near ly every evening.
 The boys have perfected themselves in minstrel work and will have a very creditable entertainment. Several fea- lures have been prepared by the con- mittee in charge and these promise to be grand successes. The "Coxsy Cho- rus,'' something absolutely new in a minstrel entertainment, has been planed and will be presented for the first time in the boys entertainment.
 The New Haven Orchestral club, which will assist the boys, has prepared a very elaborate programme for the evening. The orchestra will be under the leadership of Professor Haesche and the music will therefore be one of the features of the evening.
 Considerable comment has been oc- casioned by the pictures which are ex- hibited in several show windows. The poster cards were designed and execu- ted by one of the boys of the club and reflect considerable credit for the slev- erness of the work. The boys depend on their friends in this attempt to raise money for their fresh air fund, and hope to get enough to take many wor- thy working boys to the shore for a week next summer.
