St. Petersburg (By Cable). A
summary of the war situation to date
shows that the whole Russian army,
or at least the main portion OF 1t, is
already above Ycntai Station and is
pushing on toward Mukdcn.
Field Marshal Oyama's entire army
has crossed the Taitsc River and part
of it is hanging on to kuropatkin'S
flank.
1t is reported at a late hour that
General Kuropatkin's rear guard has
been almost annihiated, and that
the main Russian army is in imml-
nent danger of being surrounded
While this report may be exaggerated,
it is known that the Russian re-
treat is greatly harassed by the Jap
anese attacks.
A strong hanking column on the
east is pushing rapidly north in the
effort to head off the Russians.
Against this column Kuropatkin has
sent out a strong cavalry division 70
the northeast, which it is believed is
already in position to check the Japa-
ncsc hankers, while to the westward
kuropatkin is moving a division
toward Simintin, 80 miles west OF
Mukdcn, to meet any interference that
may be attempted from the direction
OF Yinkow or Nuichwang.
A Hot Race.
The Japanese have thrown a strong
fanking column across the la'tse
River at Benitzu, about 30 miles north
east of Liaoyang. This column Is
hurrying to the northeast and en-
deavoring to get in between the Rus-
sian army and Mukden, 1t is against
this movement that kuropatkin has
dispatched Lieutenant General Rem
nenkampff with strong Cossack d'-
vision, which it is believed is already
blocking the eastern highroad.
Kuropatkn has three roads over
which he is marching towards Muk-
den, besides the doublc-traCkcd rail
way. The latter is chiefly occupied
in the transportation OF guns and OF
equipment, of which there is a great
quantity The soldiers are marching
in light order, and most of the wound
ed have already been dispatched north
by rail.

When horses were first hitched to
vehicles the driver never thought of
riding himself, but walked by the side
of the road as he held the lines. SO
as to have his right hand always ready
he walked OH the left side, and conse-
qucntly the horse on the left side
came to he known as the near" horse
and the one on the right side was
called the "Off" horse. In that manner
tna terms near horse" and "off horse"
became general and still pertain to

running a silver into his wrist while
trimming trees to be used for fire wood
Fred Lenthe, about 80 years of age.
passed away at 10 O'clock last night of
blood poisoning.
The insignificant accident which
caused the visitation Of the death angel
occurred several days ago and at that
time it was so trivial that little atten-
ton was paid to it. While chopp'ng
Mr.. Lenthe brought his wrist into con-
tact with a stick Of wood which con-
tanned number Of splinters and one
Of them was inserted little ways be-
meath the skin. He went to the house
and his aged consort, who is now bed
fast with cancer, removed the little
piece Of wood and thought everything
would be we'll. Shortly afterward in
lection took place, and the wrist and
arm became swollen and painful. Mr..
Lenthe had been troubled for q long
time with a running sore on his ankle
and 1t is believed that his blood was In
bad condition.
Mr.. Lenthe Is survived by his wife,
who is also in the neighborhood of 80
years of age, and three sons, Fritz and
Henry living here and Louis, living at
Fredsville. Two daughters also sur
vive, Mary of Lattimer, Iowa. and EN-
