says something about mixing cornmeal

says something about mixing cornmeal
and plaster of Paris.
The bottle alleged to have been
found in the bed where Crystal died
contained arsenic and cornmeal.
1t is the supposition of the State s
attorney that this recipe gave Mrs.
Krauss the idea for the mixture
which was in the bottle
Some physicians familiar with the
Krauss case believe that Crystal was
given arsenic in small quantities for
, three or four days before her death
and it was this they believe which
caused her first illness.
1t is certain that strychnine caused
the girls death. The analysis of the
expert chemist, Dr. L. p. Drayer, of
Fit. Wayne. establishes this fact.
While Dr. Drayer has not made an
official report it has been learned that
the presence Of both strychnine and
arsenic have been found in the stom-
ach and liver of the dead girl. DIR.
Drayer is proceeding cautiously, and
along established lines, for his analy-
sis will be used in evidence and the
doctor is expected to make a strong
witness.
There is said to be other evidence
in the hands of the State which it
refuses to reveal.
Today Attorney J. A. Hindman,
who has charge of Mrs. Krauss's case.
had photographs taken of the Krauss
home and the house Of Ed Jones. adj

will be the chief witness to corrobo-
rate the story Of Lloyd Somerville.
He also had photographs taken of 9th
er points in the neighborhood for use
in the trial.

Wins First Great Fight on SEA, Gripping the Cars
Navy in the Far East
JAPS LAND IN KOREA
Three Batt1eships and Four Cruisers
Disabled at Port Arthur,

there is a we'll authenticated rumor
that there was great loss Of life on the
Pallada, and that she is sunk in the
channel entrance to Port Arthur.
But the position on sea has
been made still worse by the practical
capture in the harbor Of Chemulpo" OF
the two cruisers 'Variag and Korletz.
1t seems that on. Sunday Japanese
transports landed 5000 soldiers in Che
mulpo, right under the guns Of the Va
RAG and Korietz. The Russilns knew
nothing of any declaration Of war and
the Japanese did not attempt to de-
stroy them owing to the presence Of
the soldiers on the transport. After
the army had landed the warships Of
Japan sailed across the Bay Of Korea
toward Port Arthur, but after the bat
tie seven of them returned toward Che
mulpo and seven others put in within
seven miles of here at night, making
signals which were answered from the
hills.
The German, French and English
officers on the ground here say that
these ,triumphs for the Japanese navy
practically decide?the war. Japan Will
not now have toikeep any Of her army

possible danger Of invasion. AS re-
suit she can at once dispatch her entire

Chefoo, China.-The steamer Colum-

roalds outside Port Arthur harbor,

on tne Russian Warships.
The first torpedo explosion occurred
about II p. m. The shock was so
great that it was felt by the Columbia.
The attack continued all night, and
at daybreak two of the Russian battle
ships and a cruiser were seen dls-
abled and beached near the entrance to
the harbor. The cruiser had bad list.
The Russian forts later fired at the
Japanese fleet at range of about three
miles. The japanese replied, hitting
several of the Russian ships, but little
damage was done.

A Victim of Ambition.

Stafford County also puts forward
claim for the Meanest Man. A local
paper relates that he put a porcelaip
egg in the nest of an ambitious hen.
and found that the eggs she laid were
Of increased size. Then he put a goose
egg in the nest; the aforesaid hen laid
an egg just as large. He was so
pleased with the scheme that he put
whitewashed football in the nest and
awaited results. When he went the
next time to search for eggs he found
one as high as football, but no hen
in sight. Securing the egg. he saw
engraved on it by the hen photography
these words: "I'm no ostrich, but I
have done my best" Later be found

PUTS ALL BLAME ON JAPAN.
Russia Makes a Statement Regarding
the Negotiations.

the Negotiations.
London, England Russian ver-
sion of the negotiations with Japan be-
fore the rupture is published. 1t says
that in 1908 Japan proposed to Russia
q revision of existing treaties with
regard to Korea. Russia consented and
asked Admiral Alexieff to draw up a
new scheme. The statement recites
the negotiations with regard to, this;
wherein Japan made demands not only
as to Korea, but as to Manchuria, to
which demands Russia was unable to
assent. Nevertheless. Russia did not
refuse to recognize, while the occupa-
tion of Manchuria lasted. the soyer-
eighty of China or the privileges the
Powers had acquired there by treaties
with China. This statement proceeds:
."In view of this, Russia was JUS
tilted. while charging Baron Rosen to
present its reply and last proposals to
japan, in expecting that the Japanese
Government would take into account
the above facts and appreciate Rus
sia's desire to come to peaceful un-
derstanding. Instead of this. Japan
did not even await the receipt of the
reply, but decided to break off the ne
gotiations and suspend diplomatic re-
htions with Russia. The Imperial
Government, while laying on Japan
the full responsibility for the conse-
quences of such action, will await the
DEVELOPMENT Of events and at the
necessary moment will fake decisive
measures for the protection Of her
rights and interests in the Far East.

London.-Japan at the very outset Of
the war has struck her enemy blow,
the importance of which possibly can
not be overrated, apparently deciding
in the formers interest the balance Of
naval power in the Far East.
. The battleships TsareVitch and Ret
vizan and the cruiser Pallada now lie
hopelessly crippled on the mud fats at
Port Arthur as the result Of night at
tack by the Japanese.
In a second engagement the next
morning two more Russian ships were
disabled.
But over and above this decisive
stroke at Port Arthur, it is stated from
two or three sources that the Japanese
have also captured the first-class cruis-
er Variag and a smaller vessel at Che
mulpho, Korea.
These reports, although, unlike the
Port Arthur disaster, they lack Ad-
miral Alexieff's confirmation, are cir
cumstantial. They state that a strong
Japanese torpedo division, escorted by
cruisers conveying transports, sudden
ly arrived of Chemulpho on. Sunday.
A number Of foreign vessels lay at an
Choir, including the Variag and the tor.
pedo gunboat Korietz.
Apparently they did not expect an at
tack any more than did the somnelent
feet at Port Arthur, for when the Jap
anese commander summoned them to
haul down their flags they were COM

New Device to Hold the Stair Covering

Despite the craze that during the
last few years has overrun the eastern
section of the United States for oiled

who adhere to the cosy, old-fashioned

Of an improved form Of fastener is a

which they did. say the reports, with
out firing shot.
Cheefoo.-Japan has won the honors
of war on sea, which gives her assur-
ance Of victory on land. In a battle
fought outside Port Arthur the first
class Russian battleship Poltava prac-
tically was destroyed, and the protect
ed cruiser Novik also was shelled be-
low the water line, thus making her
useless for the remainder Of the war.
The Poltava has two holes below the
water line. This battle, lasting from
IL a. m. until near IL, resulted in no
known damagexto the Japanese squad
ron, while the official information from
Port Arthur, signed by the Russian
Chief Of Staff, admits that on their
side two officers were wounded, nine
men killed and forty-on woundedi
while on the shore batteries one man
was killed and three wounded.
This battle, outside Port Arthur fol-
lowed the destruction in part the nigh.
before of the Russian fleet, which was
torpedoed by the advance boats OF the
Japanese navy. In the night action
not a gun was fired by the Japanese,
and the first warning that the Russians
had was when their frst-class battle
ship Retvizan was torpedoed. An
alarm instantly followed. Search
lights were thrown from the sixteen
Russian warships and from the batter
les on land, but nothing could be seen
of the Japanese fleet. The first-class
battleship Tsarevftch and the first,
class cruiser Pallada also were hit
with torpedoes and practically de-
stroyed. This much is admitted In an
official dispatch from the naval author
