Cure to STAY Cured.

Wapello. Iowa, Oct. 10 tSpeciaD-
One of the most remarkable cures
ever recorded in Louisa County is
that Of Mrs. Minnie Hart OF this place.
Mrs. Hart was in bed for eight months
and when she was able to sit up she
was all drawn up on one side and
could not walk across the room.
Dodd's Kidney Pills cured her. Speak
Ing of her cure Mrs. Hart says:
Yes. Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me
after l was in bed for eight months
and l know the cure was complete
for that was three years ago and |
have not been down since. In four
weeks from the time started taking
them l was able to make my garden.
Nobody can know how thankful l am
to be cured or how much | feel l owe
to Dodd's Kidney Pills"
This case again points out how
much the general health depends on
the Kidneys. Cure the Kidneys with
Dodd's Kidney Pills and nine-tenths Of
the suffering the human family Is heir
to. will disappear.

Negro Progress.

The Daily Clarion Ledger of Mis-.
sssippi. which Is known as an anti
negro sheet. gives the following &C.
count of the progress of the race in
that state:
zone of the most conspicuous fea-
lures of the negro problem in Missis-
sippl Just now is the tendency OF the
members of the race to patronize
business enterprises conducted by
members of their own color. This
tendency is enjoying phenomenal
growth in all parts Of the state, and
its growth is being greatly accelerated
by the fact that the negroes were
never so progressive as now. and
more Of them are launching in busi-
ness concerns than ever before. :.
"On the corner of Pearl and Parish
streets. in this city. monster two
story brick business building Is be-
ing erected by a corporation OF ne
groes. The lower floor is to be occu-
pied by negro banking institution
capitalized at $4,000. the third ven
turc of It's kind ever launched in the
state, and which already has sufficient
assurances of deposits to make its
future look like a success.
"1he negroes in all parts OF the
state are acquiring titles to small
farms, and in the towns they are buy
ing their own homes, thus putting
themselves on an Independent footing.
The established banking institutions
are carrying more deposits made by
negroes than ever before in the states
history. and the assessment rolls
show that they are entering all classes
of business"

RUSSIANS MOVE
kuRopA1klN ON THE OFFENSIVE
Japanese outposts Driven sack.-Two
Armies Threaten Each others
Lines Of Communications.

St. Petersburg, Oct. 10, 2:55 a. M
General kuropatkin's order Of the day
announcing his determination to take
the offensive is supplemented tonight
by the news that an offensive move
ment has already been begun and
that the Japanese line has been bro
ken at Bentsaputze.
The Japanese occupied a front of
about fifty-two miles, stretching from
BentsiaputZe on the east through Yen
tai and across the railroad to the
banks of the Hun river on the west.
The Russian forces ha' lyen moving
south in close touch "-''h the Japan
csc advance since " 1.Sr 4.
The Japanese ou,posts were driven
back in series of skirmishes and on
October 9Th the Russians reoccupied
the station of Shakhe. fifteen miles
south of Mukden, the railway battalion
restoring the bridge across the Shakhe
river the next day in order to facili-
tate the advance.
Meanwhile General Mistchenko's
Cossacks pushed southwark as far as
the Yentai mines, defeating the Japan
esc in a series of warm skirmishes.
The most important action, however.
occurred on the Japanese right at Bent
siaputze. Here the Japanese held a
strong and important position. but it
seems they made the ineXplicable
omission of failing to fortify a COM
manding hill which was the key to the
whole situation.
A portion of General Kuropatkin' S
force made Il strong attack on Bentsi-
aputze and. taking leaf from the Jap

east and fanked the Japanese out of
the town. causing serious loss in a
rear guard fight. The Russian casual

While these operations are progress
ing south of Mukden it is reported that
two japanese divisions under General
Fushima are marching west up the
Lao river and are now twenty miles
south of Sinmintin. General kuroki is
expected to make similar move east
ward.
This statement. If accurate, leaves
the two armies in the anomalous posi-
tion of threatening each others line OF
communication, the Japanese by a
wide turning movement, while the Rus

and are crowding back their center
along the railway.
While 1t is Understood that Mukden
Is not heavily fortified. General kuro-
patkin has powerful force behind MIN
strongly posted at Tie Pass, and If. as
he asserts, the Russians are now
powerful enough to assume the ofens-
i've, it is possible his advance move
ment will force the Japanese hanklns
column to withdraw in order to pro

On the other hand there seems to be
a possibility of one or both the Japan

behind the Russians and forcing sus

HELEN N. GOULD
GUEST OF Y. M. C. A. IN DENVER
Comes West to Inspect Railroad
Branch Y. M. C. A.-Given an
Enthusiastic Receptjon.

Denver. Oct. 8.-Miss Helen Miller
Gould is In Denver as the guest of the
local Y. M. C. A. an institution OF
which she has long been benefactress
throughout the country.
Miss Gould's stay in Denver dates
from Friday noon to Sunday evening,
Members of Miss Gould's party are:
Miss Anna Palen, cousin, who resides
in New York; Miss Ida j. Cools, private
secretary; Mary NJ. Clark, maid; c. J.
Hicks. associate secretary international
committee Y. M. c. A.; w. e. Lougee.
secretary of the international commit
tee Y. M. G. A.; Mrs. Lougee and F. b.
Shipp, railroad secretary of the inter-
tional Y. NJ. c. A. committee
From Denver Miss Gould will go to
Colorado Springs, thence back to the
East.
Representative Denver citizens. men
and women, met Miss Gould at Union
depot.
One of the results of Miss Gould s
visit will probably be a renewal of en-
ergy toward the contamination of q
long g-cherished plan for new Y. M. c.
A. building in Denver.
Helen Miller Gould has a most at
tractive personality. She is in her thir-
ty-sixth year. but looks younger. She
has beautiful complexion. Her lips
are cherry red Her eyes seem to
speak volumes. Her voice is soft and
gentle. She is the daughter of the late
Jay Gould. In her own name she is
one of the richest women in America.
She has consecrated her life to philan-
thropic and religious work.
The primary purpose Of Miss Gould's
western trip Is an inspection of the
railway branch of the Y. NJ. C. A.
The reception given for Miss Gould
and her party at the home of Mrs. Will
liam G. Fisher of 1000 Logan avenue,
last evening from until 10. was of
much significance to the Young Mems
Christian Association of Denver.
After the guests had been presented
to Miss Gould they assembled in the
big music room of the Fisher home,
where several impromptu talks were
made.
The trend of these addresses was the
splendid work that the Young Mems
Christian Association Is accomplishing
In this and other nations. This led up
to the need of strong Christian Or
ganization of men in Denver, and then
to the need of new Y. NJ. C. A. build
ing in this city. Two hundred repre-
sentative citizens of Denver were pres
, ent, representing the best of society.

A GREAT INSTITUTION.

1t is unusual that single institution in a
city Of {, GOO people will overshadow In i'm

the case with the American School OF
Osteopathy, and A L. St.ll Infrmary ut
Kirksville, Mo.
A stranger in Kirksville is Immediately
impressed with the idea that the town is
sustained by this institution, in fact,
kirksville has been made what it is to-day
by DR.. Still and his famous School and
Inflrmary. 1t is the largest patronized un-
endowed institution of its kind in the
United States.
DIR. Stills school enrolls over 700 students
yearly and each student is required to at
tend four terms of five months each before
completing the course of study There are
over 9, 600 graduates and they are prac'
ticing in every state and territory of the
Union. About two-thirds of the states
have passed special laws legalizing the
science.
This school teaches every branch taught
in medical colleges except drugs" and
osteopathy j. substituted for that. So
thorough is the teaching in anatomy that
over one hundred human bodies are dis
sected yearly by the students.
At the 1ntirmary, patients from every
part of the country and with almost every
form of disease are constantly under treat
every train coming to Kirksville has
brought some new sufferer hoping to find re,
lief by the science of Ostcopathy. By the
thousands who have left the institution
benefited by the treatment, the science has
been heralded to the world as a safe and
free clinic was established in connection
with the practice department Of the school
and this is still in operation. Hundreds OF
the worthy poor, who are unable to pay for
treatment, are treated every afternoon by
the senior students free of charge.
