 Misses Belle Phillips and Irma Webber of Barren Fork, Miss Mary Johnson and brother, Ru- fus, of Eight Mile, Dr. A. A. Evans and Miss Maude Luster of Bethesda were guests of the Creighton Tuesday night return ing home from the worlds fair.
 Mrs. A. Fels received a mes sage early Wednesday morning announcing the death of her father, MT. Simon Adler, which occurred at St. Louis Tuesday night. MT. and Mrs. Fels and Sigmund Wolff left on No. 4 Wednesday for St. Louis. They have the sympathy of our people in their grief.
 The services at the Methodist church last night were of thrill ling interest. The music was excellent and the sermon by MT. Crittenton was one of the most interesting and appropriate we have ever heard. Those who fail to hear him are missing a great deal. Come to the meeting at 7:3O this evening.
 James I. Scarborough has en- tered the medical department of John Hopkins university at Bal timore. He is a graduate of Princeton and one of Newport s brightest young men, being ad- mitted to John Hopkins without examination, owing to his ad- vancement in those studies, a very thorough knowledge of which is required for entrance.

HIGH TEMPERATURES
 INTENSIFIED DROUGHT.
Premature Opening Has Caused Picking of 25 Per Cent. of Cotton Crop-Top Bolls
 Promise Little.

The week ending October 3 was characterized by unseason- ably high temperatures and an almost total absence of rain, w hic h has intensified the droughty conditions which pre- vailed during September. Cot ton picking is now general over the state, and about twenty-five per cent. of the crop has been picked; the indications are that there will be very light top crop. Early corn made a good crop and was being gathered in many sections; the late is suffer- ing from lack of moisture and will make very light crop. Ow- ing to continued dry weather very little fall blowing has been done and very little fall grain has been sown. Late potatoes and turnips are suffering for moisture; sweet potatoes are do- ing fairly well and promise to make a fair to good crop. Apples are still dropping in some sections and the indications are for only a fair crop; in some northwest ern counties the bulk of the crop has been gathered and marketed. Stock water is scarce in many sections of the state, and as a result stock, while healthy, is not doing very well.

HOW BUY YOUR GROCERIES
 THIS FALL?
CASH OR CREDIT.

Is not the pay-as-you-go plan the best? Many think 1t is best, because 1. When you pay cash you are sure to buy at the lowest market price:
 2. When you pay cash you realize how much you are spending, so live within your means.
 3. When you pay cash you never overbuy. 4. When you pay cash you buy at a cash store (if you are wise), where there is only one price, and where rich and poor are treated alike. 5. When you pay cash at a cash store there are no bad ac- counts to consider, but prices are made on a cash basis, so you are sure to save money.
 6. When you pay cash tor a
 few months you will not will
 lingly go back to the old style
 credit plan; not if you are like
 a majority of buyers.
 All this being true, won't
 you decide to begin this fall to
 buy of us for cash? Your
 money back always if you
 want 1t.

MAD HEROISM AND RED BAY0NtTS
Fought Hand TO Hand and With EN-.

MAD HER0ISM AND RED BAYOKET

vt. Petersburg, Sept. ,, (2:jO a. m.)
\-The battle of Lao Yang which be-
gan with japanese advance on Au-
gust "a, the day of the christening
of the Czarevitch and concluded Sat
urday, Sept. 3, with the retreat OF
Gen. Kuropatkin, is believed to have
been the longest and bloodiest OF his
tory.
Numerous incidents of the fighting
upset the theory involved by exper-
ience in the Boer war that modern
battle must necessarily be fought at
long range both sides repeatedly
met in hand to hand encounters in
bayonet charges and the men OF each
side so near each other that they
could distinguish features and hear
words of command. In one instance
they were separated only by the
width of the railroad and actually
threw stones at each other. The mad
heroism of the Japanese and the stub
born tenacity of the Russian has sell
dom, if ever been parallel.
Correspondents say that several OF
the bayonet attacks made by the Jap
aneseduring the battle have been fore
ed by the depletion OF ammunition OF
which modern arms entail such ex-
travagant expenditure.
The Japanese came on with empty
guns and with hopes of finishing the
attack with cold steel, but 1t was
proved at their own cost that sucn
attacks cannot be driven home in the
face of the fire of breech loading
guns. The Russian artillerymen SUI
fered terribly in the prolonged light
ing south of the Taitse river. One
battery lost 80 men killed and the re-
mainder were wounded and when a
fresh battery was brough up into
position the survivors of the original
battery protested with tears at being
removed. begging to be allowed to die
along side their own guns.
The work of the Red Cross which
throughout the war has been most
devoted on both sides has proved al
most as dangerous to nurses and doc
tors as has the work of the combat
ants. Many bearers and their as
sistants have been killed or wounded
in attending to injured under fire. A
sister of mercy was killed and sur
geon wounded on the final assault on
Lao Yang.
Telegraph operators and correspon-
dents have also suffered severely.
Two correspondents of the Associa-
ted Press have been shot and one
has been decorated for bravery.
During the ten days hghtlng the
condition of the soldiers In both ar
mics has been pitabls.
Many of the Japanese prisoners
were starving and almost naked when
captured which speaks volumes for
.Japanese endurance.
1t is wonderful that the commisary
arrangements made it possible to CON
tinue to supply the men during such
a continuous battle. The RUSSIANS
were better fed being nearer their
base but the terrible strain oil the
continuous fighting caused some OF
them 10 fall asleep in the midst ot
cannonading and even on the firing
lines.
