Mrs. w. E. Grissom, Henry, Ellis
county, Texas, writes:

months, and the result is a thoroughly

the chronic catarrh. Therefore | shall
avail myself of every opportunity to
speak of Peruna as a catarrh cure."-
Mrs. w. f. Grissom.
A great many remedies to tempora-
rily relieve catarrh have been devised
from time to time, such as sprays,
snuffs. creams, and other local appli-
cations, but, as a rule, the medical
procession has little or no enthusiasm
in the treatment of catarrh.
Peruna cures catarrh wherever loca-
ted. Peruna is not a guess nor an ex-
periment-it is an absolute scientific
certainty. Peruna has no substitutes
no rivals. Insist upon having Peruna.

Over a Score of Women and Chill
dren Had Their Lives Saved.
New York. Sept. 10.-More than a
score of women and children were res
cued from a fire in a five-story tene-
ment house at sol Tenth avenue early
to-day. The blaze started under a
stairway on the second floor and spread
quickly to the roof.
The most sensational incident of the
fire was the rescue of a mother and two
children who had taken refuge on the

of bravery and resourcefulness on the
part of two laddermen. The woman
and children had been driven from
their apartment by the flames and were
clinging to the ledge crying for help,
when the firemen arrived OH the scene.
When thirty-five-foot ladder was
thrown up against the side of the burn
ing building, it fell four feet short of
the fourth story window. There was
no time to make a change and two men
rushed up the ladder. Balancing him
self on the topmost round, while his
companion firmly grasped his legs from
a more secure position below, the lad
derman caught the children as the
mother dropped them into his arms.
The other tiremen had taken positions
on the ladder by this time, and the res
cued ones were passed safely down
from their dangerous position.

The Chinese at Lao Yang became

confusion throughout the city. me
proprietors of foreign shops made
frantic efforts to sell their stocks on
the streets at ridiculously low prices
TO any one who would pay cash, or
underworld to have their property
loaded on railroad cars. The flight OF
Japanese shells over the railroad sta
ton stampeded them, however and
they fled in disorder, glad to get away
with their lives.
The foreign military attaches, who
were in Lao Yang were taken north
under escort.
The correspondent noticed, on this
morning, an unbroken line of ammuni-
ton wagons, batteries of artillery and
Russian troops using the railroad
bridge to get out of Lao Yang to the
north.
1t became known that Gen. Kuroki
was making a dash around the RUS
slams left for the railroad at a point
fifteen miles north of here. He cross
ed the Taitse river the night of Aug.
30 and took the splendid Russian de-
fenses at Penshu with very little eff
fort. He continued to advance stead
lily and turned the Russian left. HIS
army covered fifteen miles in quick

was to force the Russians to leave

The correspondent of the Associat-
ed Press was eating at the railroad
station at noon when the First Jap
anese shell struck the foreign settle
ment. Within fifteen minutes time
all the troops, hospital attendants and
merchants and other people in the
vicinity had cleared out and only
few Chinese remained. The Japanese
shells continued to fail in the settle
ment. Chinese, under the direction OF
Russian officers were making hurried
! efforts to remove the stores and am
munition from the railroad sheds. The
Japanese shells came from Shushan
and a Russian shrapnel fire was soon
turned on the battery there.
The fighting around Lao Yang be-
gan at daybreak Sept. 2, when shells
were thrown in from the entire Jap
anese line.
Gen. Kurok severed his connection
with the Japanese center army, and
left the Anping road unprotected His
army was in front of the mining dis
trict to the east of Yentai. The inn

in possession.
Gen. Kurokis attack at Yentai was
soon relaxed, however, and Gen. Mist
chenko and his command were with
drawn from the Russian defenders OF
Yentai, and sent over to the west side
of the railroad to make a demon
stration and to aid in the retreat of
the main army.
Sunset Ended Cnnnonading.
The cannonading came to an end
when the sun went down. Throughout
the night of Sept. 2, it broke out again
fitfully, but the periods were of short
duration. The morning of Sept s
showed that Gen. Kuroki had not at
tanned his object, but the victory of
the Japanese over the Russians APP
peared to be complete. Russian troops
and refugees from Lao Yang in
rlckshaws were pouring north along
the railroad and along the main high
way on the way to Mukden. The Rus
sian press censors, who were stationed
at Lao Yang, Yentai and Mukden, had
fed to Hardin
The night of Sept. was marked
throughout by furious rifle fire outside
of Lao Yang. The Russian troops were
in a highly nervous and excited state.
They were convinced that the Japa-
nese We're creeping forward irresisti-
bly, all this time.
Sept. saw the resumption of the
cannonading at dawn and the vast
clouds of smoke which arose SLOWLY
from the burning warehouses in the
foreign settlement at Lao Yang could
be seen for a distance of ten miles.
When the correspondent passed the
fire-swept bed of the Taitse river on
his way into Lao Yang at noon of
Sept 3, the Russian infantry had re-
tired from the immediate front to shell
ter behind the southwall of the city
On getting into Lao Yang it was seen
that Japanese rife bullets were falling
around the railroad station and that
all the stored lumber and wooden
buildings in that vicinity were in
flames
During the night of Sept 4, the
Russian sentries were drawn from Lao
Yang. The pontoon bridges across the
Taitse river were hurriedly removed,
the Japanese entered and took possess
sion of the city and the correspondent
was taken prisoner before he was
aware Of what had occurred.
Settles the Mastery.
The battle of Liao Yang is accepted
here as determining the mastery of
Manchuria. In it the Russians were
fully equal in numerical strength to
the Japanese. who had approximately
100000 men in the field. The Russian
artillery was superior in range and
rapidity in fire to that of the Japanese.
The Russians forced the Japasese at
tackers to take dangerous positions by
intrepid assault. In many instances
the Russians lost more men behind
their breastworks' than did the attack
ing Japanese.

"Reminiscences of His Visits to
Seoul.
| BY r. NJ. Larner.
/ Washington, Sept. 10.-Durham
White Stevens, who has just been ap-
| pointed by Japan as diplomatic advisor
Of the Emperor of Korea. under the
new Japanese Korean alliance. was
! born and educated in Washington. He
has been in the diplomatic service of
the Japanese government for the past
twenty-five years. but he has never re-
linquished his American citizenship.
His assignment to special duty in
Korea will not be his first experience
in the hermit nation. In 1885 he went
to Korea with Count Inouye, when
the latter was ambassador to nego-
tiate for an indemnity which Japan
demanded for an assault upon Mr..
Takezoye, the Japanese minister to
Korea, and the killing of number of
Japanese subjects.
81 recall my first visit to Korea
very distinctly" remarked Mr.. Stew
ems, while discussing, automatically,
his forthcoming return to Korea. THE
Korean government received the Jap
anese with due courtesy and friendli-
ness on that occasion" continued Mr..
Stevens. THE embassy was met and
conducted to the palace, where royal
entertainment was spread. 1 remem-
Der distinctly that among other airs
played by the royal band during the
banquet was that old American fav-
orite, Dixie When the band struck
up that familiar tune l could scarcely
refrain from giving forth an undigni-
fled American veil.
There was another incident in con-
nection with the banquet given in hon
or of the embassy" continued Mr..
Stevens. THE weather was intensely
cold. They have severe weather some
times. While the dinner was in pro-
gress the royal guard surrounded the
palace In the midst of the dinner we
heard a loud crash, which sounded
like the smashing of numerous glass
bottles or crockery. Upon investiga-
ton it was found that the noise was
caused by the explosion from the
guards 'gingall.' or bunderbuss, fired
at a tiger that had come down from
the mountains and was prowling near
the palace. The tiger was killed, but
the incident caused considerable ex-
citement for the moment" Mr.. Stew
ems expects to leave for Korea early in
October.

RUSSIAN OFFICERS TRIED
TO DROWN THEIR TROUBLES
With Drinking and Merry-making
They Passed the Time.


They Passed the Time.
Lao Yang Sept. 4, via Tien Tsin,
Sept. 10.-Many foreigners, who OBJ
served the Russian troops at Lao Yang
before the battle which resulted in the
Japanese occupation of the city, are of
opinion that the Russian reverse was
the result of the last four months of
failure in the field: of what they term
the decentralization" which began at
the battle of Chiu Lien Cheng.
The task of Gen. Kuropatkin seemed
to be hopeless. The railroad during
the month of July scarcely sufficed to
bring into Lao Yang enough Rus
sian troops to replace those who were
lost by death, sickness or wounds dur
ing the month. and it was estimated
that the Russians would have to out
number the Japanese two to one in or.
der to be successful against them.
Scenes witnessed in Lao Yang be-
fore the big battle gave evidence of a
certain degree of decentralization on the
part of the Russian forces. After the
Japanese had won their first success
at Anshanshan and Kiaogengshi and
were advancing rapidly on the second
line of Russian defenses, some of the
Russian officers. who had been on the
fighting line, flung their responsibilities
aside Immediately after they reached
Liao Yang and sought forgetfulness of
the hardships of their past work and
the dangers of the future. The Pa
