The Columbus weekly dispatch. (Columbus, Miss.) 1902-1905, 1904-10-20

Kuropatkin' 3 proclamation of a
week ago reads like a mockery
today. In it he announced with
a great show of bravado that
Russia had received reinforce
ments and that his army was
equal TO the enemy's in the front.
He boldly announced that the
time had come after many weary
months of waiting for the army to
take the initiative and to redeem
Russia's lost prestige in the
series of retreats which had been
forced upon him by numerical
~ superior foe. The advance was
ordered from Mukden and the
japanese retreated for awhile
before the advancing Russians.
Then came the battle. Half a
million men fought for five days
without sleep and without food.
To the fury of the great artillery
duels in which thousands of guns
were employed and millions of
shells were thrown, came the
fury of great thunder storms
caused by the Intensity of the
fray. At the end of five days
of fearful slaughter the Russians
retreated, their men worn to
FRAGILE, large number of guns
lost to the enemy, some prison
.ers captured and the morale of
the army almost destroyed.
From the meagre accounts
which have been allowed to filter
through the censor it seems to
have been the greatest battle of
modern times and the slaughter
of troops on both sides in their
fanatical bravery surpasses any
thing that the mind can conceive
of. Detailing this. feature a
telegram from Toxic, giving Off
cial reports from the japanese
generals at the front says
KUROKI ALONE BURIED 4.500.
Toxic. Oct. IS. % 80 a. m. -
Succeeding reports increase the
extent Of the Russian slaughter
in the desperate battle that has
ragged the last week. Gen. Kuro-
Xxi has reported that his army
alone has buried 1000 Russian
dead. The reports of Generals
Nodzu and Oku are incomplete,
but everything indicates that
Field Marshal Omaya's estimate
of the Russian loss at 10000 men
will fall far below the actual
mark.
A report dealing with the Rus
sian losses, received during the
night from the japanese field
headquarters. says:
The losses sustained by tie
enemy opposing our right army
so far as ascertained are as fol
lows:
Bodies left near Benshu, on
the left bank of the Taites river,

tachment. 200: before the right

Shaotakou and northward. 800;
total, $500.
The number left in other places

The enemy's loss IN this di-
reetion must exceed 10000.

THE FAIR AT NIGHT.
Lights of Changing Hues Will Flood
the St. Louis Picture.
Electric Effects are Combined with
other Ingenious Contrivances In
Revealing Beauty of the
Worlds Fair in Her Robe
of Darkness.

The night effects of the Exposition
will be symphony in color. The ex-
hibit buildings will be bathed in pure
white light, which will bring out into
strong relief their beautiful outlines
and the richness of the tints and mural
paintings on their screen walls.
Chief Henry Rustin, who is head Of
the department of electrical design, has
charge of this important feature. Act
ing in the same capacity at Omaha and
Buffalo, he set so high a standard
there that his effort to outdo it at
st. Louis is the supreme one of his
life.
BY ingeniously contrived lights the
whole picture will be flooded at night
with changing hues. At one time the
scene will be a harmony of violet,
changing into amber, emerald, crimson
and amethyst, running the whole
gamut of color combinations so skill
fully that the spectator hardly will be
conscious where one color leaves off
and the other begins. But through all
the changes of colors thrown on the
buildings it will be possible for the
cascades to retain a distinctive tint.
Mercury vapor lamps are cleverly
concealed in the bases of the sculp-
ture, lining the sides of the cascades,
the rays being thrown from concealed
reflectors through small windows at
an angle that will not meet the vision
of spectators from any point of view.
In this light the waters of the cas-
cades will have the appearance at one
time of a ghostly phosphorescent tor
rent, at another moment of floods of
opal gems and again of q cataract of
living flame.
Every source of the wonderful ka-
1eidoscopic effects will be ingeniously
hidden. 1t will be possible to pick out
different parts of the hill and its
structures in different colors. Thus
while the hall in the center will be
a rose color, one arm of the colon
made orange, the other violet and the
twin pavilions emerald, the whole
splendid effect will be attained without
confusion of colors.
The night effects on other parts Of
the site have not been forgotten An
electric fountain, that will be thing
of beauty and riot of color, surpass-
ing anything of the kind ever designed,
will occupy point of vantage on the
grounds. The exhibit buildings at
night will appear to be giant cornices
of white light supported at the four
corners and the centers by immense
[ssuiens of light. The rest Of the
facadcs will be SO treated that their
massive columns will be silhouetted
against the screen walls which will
be banks of blazing white light.

Indian Eats Wife and Child.

Duluth, Mimi, Gust Brandon,
who has been "cruising" between
Tower and Koochiching, arrived
here last night and confirmed the
reports of cannibalism on the
Leech Lake reservation. Bran
don was near Uelican Lake at
the time it was asserted that an
Indian had killed and eaten his
wife and child. Two days later
Brandon met a small party of
Boise Fort Indians, who were on
their way to the west end of Ver-
million Lake.
From these Indians Brandon
learned of the killing, and he
says his information is s,uthenic.
He was told that the Indian who
committed the deed was shift
less. During a spree he killed
both his wife and child, and lat
er devoured parts of their bodies
to avert starvation.

Five Years in the Pen.

Gently convicted in the United
States Court on a charge of rails
ing one dollar bills to the de-
nomination Oslo, was sentenced
to five years Imprisonment at
hard labor in the Government
penitentiary at Atlanta, Ca, by
Judge Evans Tuesday.
The sentence was passed after
motion for a new trial, made
by Beatty's attorney, Morton X.
Yonts, was overruled. When
the prisoner was asked if he had
anything to say why sentence
should not be passed upon him,
he said:
"Nothing, except that the jury
did not convict the right man.
Judge Evans told the prisoner
that the jury had been guided
solely by evidence, which was
overwhelmingly against him, and
remarked that in his opinion the
finding of the jury was correct.
Beatty and William r.. Hen
son, the letter carrier sentenced
to two years Imprisonment for
riling letters, were taken to
Atlanta by D,,puty Marshal Will
liam Blades Wednesday.

PATENT EXHIBIT AT FAIR.
The United states Is to show Some
Interesting Models of Early
Inventions.

The exhibit of the United States Pat
ent Office at the Worlds Fair will
show series of models designed to
represent ideas that have made epochs
in the industrial history of the world.
So far as possible, the first thing of
its kind in every line of human inven-
tion will be shown. For instance, Wis
itors will have an opportunity to see
the actual sewing machine which was
the first practical contrivance of its
kind ever constructed. 1t was patented
in 1876 by Elias Howe. Previously, in
1912, j. j. Greenough had obtained q
patent for a sewing machine, which
carried the cloth along automatically,
having needle with hole in the mid
die.
Equally interesting in its way is the
earliest typewriter which was pat
ented by G. Thurber in 1912. The type
keys are set around the periphery OF
a horizontal brass wheel, and in or
der to print letter it is merely neces-
sary to punch one Of the buttons,
which causes the type to descend
through little tube and make a mark
upon a slip of white paper.
The exhibit will include model Of
the first cast-iron plow, which was pat
ented by Charles Newbold in 1897, and
the first screw propeller, which was
invented by Robert Hook in 1880.
The invention of the steamboat is
credited to Robert Fulton, yet in the
seventeenth century Denys Papin
launched on the Seine, in France, boat
that was run by steam. 1t is a matter
of historical record that the river
barge men smashed Papins boat be-
cause they feared that it would in
jure their business.
The most interesting of all models,
however, in the line of aquatics, will
be that of Abraham Lincoln's famous
device for lifting steamboats, OF
shoals.
Another exhibit will be the first
printing press and harvesting machine,
the latter made in $50 B. G.
The first locomotive and first steam
engine, made in Egypt 15O B. c., also
will be shown with many other rare
Inventions.
