BY wArTERsoN a7EALEY.

Washington, September 20.-(Speeia1)--
That West Virginia, the home state OF
Vice Presidential Nominee Henry G.
Davis, is to be the field of a battle royal
is evidenced by statement made today
by Elliott Northcut, chairman of the re-
publican state committee, Tho said
I'VE shall keep approximately fifty or
ators in the field and we intend to have
fifty speeches made each day from now
until the election. There are hfty-fve
counties in West Virginia and we shall
try to assign these speakers SO that there
will be one speech daily In nearly every
county,"
This statement is taken to mean that
the republicans think West Virginia ex-
tremely debatabe ground. They think
the strongest argument they can produce
is along the lines of high protective
| tariff, and they have already flooded the
state with protection literature TO Off
set this the democratic congressional
committee determined today to scatter

How Could He Slip BY?

General Kuropatkin announced only
two days ago that there were not sin
gle Japanese east of Pentzarutze. How,
1t is announced could General Kuroki with
one hundred thousand men, slip past Cen
eral Renenkampffs cossacks and cross
the Hun river near the Fushan coal mines
thirty miles east of Mukden.
Fushan is situated on the road from
Pentziputze where General Kuroki cross
ed the Taitse river. This road is care
fully watched by General Kuropatkins
outposts between Mukden and Sinmlntln.
A strong guard has been placed at the
Fushan mines, which General kuropat-
kin will not give up without Struggle
as the loss of the mines would involve
the cutting off of the coal supply for the
whole of the Manchurian railway. New
ertheless 1t is considered more than
doubtful If General Kuropatkin Will make
a decisive stand south of Tie Pass.

How Could He slip BY?

Reports from Shanghai that some Of
the defenses had fallen into the hands
of the Japanese as a result of general
assault on September 20 are not confirm
ed from Russian sources.
The kilograms brought to Che Foo by
Prince Radzivil have not yet reached the
war office. 1t is understood that these
dispatches contain details of the landing
of strong Japanese reinforcements at
Dalny, which would tend to confirm the
belief that it is the intention of the Jap
anese to storm the fortress, and that the
warships particularly will take part in the
attack. In this event Rear Admiral
Wirens' division will doubtless go out
and engage the Japanese, fleet.
All Russia Is anxiously awaiting news
from the beleagured garrison. Public
feeling has been aroused TO a high ten
sion by the dreadful picture given by
Prince Radzivil, of the sufferings of the
Russian army there
The sensational announcement that Gen.
eral Kuroki has crossed the Hun river
unopposed and that the whole Japanese
arm is advancing upon Mukden. is
overshadowed by anxiety for Port Arthur.
Moreover the announcement relative to
Kurol1i does not receive complete cre-
dence here as being in direct contradie-
tion of official news issued by the general
staff

UP-COUNTRY RESOURCES
What One May See Between Kelvin
 and Dudleyvilie.

[. H. Landis, general agent of the s. f. r. & r. railroad returned last night from a two days trip up rho Gila river as fac as DudloyVille. The primary purpose of the trip was to make final arrangements for the fra mems picnic to be held at the buttes tunnel. east of Florence, next Sunday. But having the opportunity he thought he would push on a little ways ahcII of the railroad and familiarize himself wi:h surroundings further up the right Of way.
 The railroad is now within three miles of Kelvin, and at that point he took q conveyance driving to Dudley vile. eighteen miles beyond Kelvin. He describes the section visited as d WOn~ de1ful little country. It's agricultural possibilities. are limited in extent as the area between the mountain walls on either side the river is small, probably not over a mile wide. Most of the a;able land is already occupied, about 5000 acres being under cultiva- tior and the owners are prosperous and happy. They have an adequate wate" supply the year round, taken from the Gila and raise large crops of alfalfa. barely, wheat and corn. The farmers have a fine local market and are now selling hay for from S23 to S25 per ton.
 DUdleyville is a promising little place there being several mining companies now engaged in developing in that inn mediate vicinity, with fine prospects also for the development of oil. Tie Parafline Oil company, which has been consistently pursuing it's search for oil for the last two years, has temporarily suspended operations, having reached the limit of the drilling capacity of the present riE. But the company is more determined than ever and highly en- thusiastic over it's oil indications. It claims to have sufficient money to sC- cure new machinery and continue sink inE. which it proposes co do at once.
 The san Carlos coal strip ie only about fifteen miles away and it's de- VelOpmert is among the possibilities of the future. There is also a hot spring not far from DCdle!Vi,le for which medicinal virtues are claimed. The drive Up the valley from Kelvin to DJdleyville. says MT. Landis, is je- ligatfJl one, the river being bordcrei with cottonwood groves and there is also an abundance Of quail and other game that makes it an attraqtive place fo? soorlsuen.

CURED BY CUTEcURA
One Application Soothed Him to Sleep. Cure Speedy
 and Permanent.

When my little boy was about three month"; old his head broke out with a rash, which was very itchy and ran con- siderable watcry fluid. We tried every thing we could, but he got worse all the time til 1t spread to his arms, legs, and then to his entire body. and he got 80 bad that he came near dying. The rash would itch SO that he would scratch till the blood ran, and thin yellowish stuff would be all over his pillow in the morn ing. had to put mittens on his hands to keep him from tearing his skin around his wrists. He got so weak and run down that he took fIintnG spells like we would think him dying. He was ai- most skeleton and his little hands were thin like claws.
 '' He was bad about eight months when we tried Cuticura Remedies had not laid him down in his cradle in the daytime for long time He had got so that he just slept iu our arms all the time. l washed him with Cuiicura Soap and put on one application of Cuticura Ointment and he was so sOOtheJ that I put him in the cradle. You don't know how glad felt when he felt better. IttOOk one box of Cuficura Ointment, pretty near one cake Of Cuti- cura Soap. and about half bottle of CuticCra Resolvent, to cure. I think our little boy would have died only for the Cuticdra Remedies, and I shall al- ways remain firm friend of them "

For New Soldiers, Home.

A strong effort is being made by the
comrades and other citizens of Wash
ington, to have the government &C
quire an old park out toward Bladens-
burg as site for home for ex-volun-
teer soldiers of the civil war. There
is a sort of temporary home now in
Washington, where stranded veterans
can be cared for a few days at a
time, but it is altogether inadequate
for the purpose, and besides it is nee
essary to have a home where the vet
Grams can stay while in the city trying
to get their pensions through. Hun
dreds of such veterans go to Wash
ington each year filled with hope, but
having very little money with them.
In a few weeks hope and money are
both gone, and they have to be cared
for by the local Grand Army posts.
which is a very severe drain on the
resources of a small department
