RUSSIANS LOST
HEAVILY ON YALU
1000 MEN AND FORTY OFF.
GERS WERE KILLED.
Graphic Description of the Great Bat
tle-Japanese Losses Great.
The Battle.

St. Petersburg. May 5.-The Rus
sian losses at the battle OF Kiu Tien
Cheng were 1000 men and 20 officers
-far greater than previous reports
Indicated
This is the official estimate of Maj.
Gen. Kashtalinsky, who directly COM
manded the division that suffered the
brunt Of the attack and whose report
was received yesterday by the emper-
or. Many are inclined to place the
Russian losses even higher. Gen.
Kashtalinsky mentions also that
more than 700 wounded had arrived
at Feng Wang Cheng and these may
not be included in his report. He
made no attempt to estimate the Jap
anese losses. merely stating that they
must have been colossal. The mag
nitude of the Russian losses had an
almost stunning effect on the authorl-
ties and aroused general grief, miti
gated only by satisfaction at the
bravery displayed by the Russian
troops.
Not for a moment was there any
Intention to pay such terrible price
for delaying the enemys crossing OF
the Yalu.
Gen. Kashtalinskv's report estab-
fishes the fact that the Russians sus-
tanned the greatest loss in order to
save the two regiments which were
occupying .Antung.
The. nth regiment was given the
post of honor at the rear, with in
Structions to hold back the oncoming
Japanese. The Twelfth regiment and
the Third batteries quick-hring de-
tachment were directed to retire.
Bv the time the latter movement
commenced the Japanese had almost
surrounded the Russian position.
The Twelfth regiment was compelled
10 charge with the bayoEe and Sue
cecded in breaking through the
cnvmy's line. The second battery,S

could not move the guns and were
compelled to abandon them. The
zen OF the Second battery put their
shoulders to the wheels in an effort
to push the guns up the mountain
side. but the Japanese FIRE was so hot
that they returned to the protection
IF the Eleventh regiment.
Nearer and nearer approached the
Japanese and a charge upon the
Eleventh regiment and the Second
battery was imminent so the guns
were abandoned
Then a priest led the troops and
thew began the terrible march across
the valley.
"Kiu Tien Cheng is history and we
must now deal with impending
events" said an officer of the general
staff to the Associated Press.
The idea has prevailed that the
Russians would not make stand at
Feng Wang Cheng. but the fact that
a Japanese occupation Of that point
would enable movement to the
southwest. thus cutting off the Lao
Tang peninsula. which is taken into
consideration by the authorities. leads
to the expectation that Gen. Kuro-
patkin will dispatch strong reen-
forcementS there and make determ-
ined stand.
The activity OF the Japanese. it is
remarked here. is not only north OF
the Ealu. from which there is con-
stan, scouting. hut also off the Lao
Ting peninsula. though the failure
to seal Port Arthur may interfere
with the operations they had been eH-
pected to carry ont on the west coaSI
of that peninsula.

OBITUARY.

Stephen Stiers, one Of the pi-
oneers, died of typhoid-pneumonia
at the home Of his old friend Dani-
ell Webb at NortOnville, Jefferson
County, Kansas, Wednesday even
ing Nov. 80, 1904. He had been
known in Jefferso ON County for the
last fifty years as "Uncle Steve"
Stephen was the third son of Isaac
and Lydia Stiers, formerly Lydia
Reeve, both descendants Of old and
respected fami lies of Ohio.
Stephen was born in Guernsey
County Ohio, March IA, 1929. In
1878 his parents moved to Hook
ing County, where they reared
their family Of four boys and one
girl upon a farm near Logan.
The only girl was Mrs. Hiram
Webb, for many years a resident
of Jefferson County. There is now
surviving but one son, Isaac. who
lives in Kansas City, Missouri.
In 1851 Stephen, then twenty
two years of age, went to Iowa,
where, after spending a year
among relatives, he joined the
throng of '62 bound for the great
West. After o six months jour
ney, the toll and difficulties OF

At The Theater.

Gus Sun, who always wears the
badge fellowship and believes in
living in the sunshine of life,
brought his minstrel crew to the
Academy last night. A good sized
audience greeted the fun-makers
and bestowed a great deal of ap-
plause ON the various acts. There
is a good deal that is bright in the
performance, the jest and badin-
age going with snap, while not
a few OF the musical selections
were delightfully."- harmonious.
Ed Rice's bass solos and James
Baradi's clear tenor were especial
ly attractive features. The first
part was prettily mounted. In the
olio, the strongest acts, perhaps,
were Kyler's remarkable work on

Xmas Dance.

The event of the Holiday season
in dancing circles took place on
Tuesday evening at the Red Mems
Hall, when the Short Skates again
invited their friends to another Of
their functions, which are always
anticipated with pleasure by Log
ans elite society. Everything
which could add to the enjoyment
of the guests had been provided !;
the soft glow of the shaded lights
revealed a perfect bower of beauty,
and the hall with it's festive deco
rations was fitting back ground
for the gay company and elegant
gowns of the dancers.
A buffet lunch was served in the
hall by Messrs. Stedem and Oatley,
whose names as caterers make
words of praise useless. Mr..
Harry Rose was floor manager. and
the music was furnished by the
Speelman Orchestra of Columbus,
to whose enhancing strains the
merry dancers kept time until Q
late hour, and then departed re

returned to his old home in Ohio
by the way of the isthmus of
Panama and New York City.
He was by this time so imbued
with the spirit of Western life and
progressiveness that he could not
be content within the confines of
Hooking Valley, and in 1865 start
ed for Kansas, the storm center Of
the impending conflict. He arriv.
ed during Governor Robinson's ad-
ministrRtion, and settled on q
farm seven miles east of Valley
Falls. The summers of 80 and go
he spent in the construction of
quartz mills in Colorado, among
which were many of the first
built. Mr.. Stiers built and set in
motion the old Blackhawk mill, at
Blackhawk Point; also the frst
mills at Central City and Nevada
Gulch. In 1S80.61 the Leaven-
worth mill, owned by Clark,
Reece & Russell, the La Cross mill,
and the Boston Mining Company's
mill were all built by Stephen
Stiers. This was during the days
when mining machinery was
freighted hundreds Of miles by OK
power; and it was no small task
to undertake the erection Of these
mills, which were the beginning Of
the development Of Colorado as
the greatest gold and silver min
ing state in the Union.

struggle of energetic manhood.
He lived to the end in full pos
session and enjoyment of his phys
ical and mental endowments and
manly virtues. He was a man
of deep feeling. and no considera-
tion of advantage or profit could
weigh in his mind against truth.
He was sincere conscientious and
kind, even to fault. His life was
modelled on principle, and he
sought to summon youth to holly
Lying and drive the clouds of
trouble from the way of men. At
a good old age, amid the scenes of
his vigorous life, surrounded by
old friends and neighbors who had
always admired and respected him
after few days illness, he closed
this life as he had lived it; with
the kindest feelings toward all
mankind and a confidence that
his future was prepared for him
by the same kind Providence that
had always guided and garded him
In the past. He has left good

he served until the close of the
War. His early home teaching,
tempered by his rugged life, SO
fitted him for the hard army life
that he withstood temptations to
which so many yielded, and at the
end Of his service laid down his
arms truer patriot and a better
man. He returned again to his
Jefferson County farm where he
lived until 1888, when he sold his
farm and located in Houston, TEX
as remaining there until 1900.
The last four years he has past in
travelling through the South and
West visiting friends and scenes
Of his early days. He thorougly
enjoyed exchanging "reminiscences
of camp life with his silver haired
companions of those days.
Again in the summer of 1904
just past he visited the place of
his birth, the old homestead in
Ohio, and what were left of his
boyhood companions;th complet-
ing the second cycle of his career.
From there he went to the great
Fair at st. Louis. There he en-

DESPERATE SHOOTS.
Conductor Mcbride ard Brakeman
Green Injured.

On last Saturday afternoon there
got on the Hooking Valley train
north at Gnllipolis several pretty
loud characters among whom was
one bulldog desperate by the
name of Ed. Grover, who lived at
Porter. He proceeded to make
himself generally disgusting to
passengers, and Conductor Frank
Mcbride quieted him a few times
gentlemanly. He soon became
quarrelsome as the liquor worked
on him, and pulled revolver
threatening Minerton negro who
would not share whiskey with him.
Mcbride pulled the cord and pro-
ceeded to put the black-guards of
the train. Brakeman Harry Green
backed up Mcbride.
The train men succeeded in put.
ting the ours from the train but
not until Grover had emptied his
revolver in his attempt to kill
them. Brakeman Green was hit
In the arm, the ball glancing to
the breast and passing through the
body, and being removed Wednes'
day of this week from his back
Mcbride was shot in the foot.
The shooting occurred at Ever.
green but few miles below the
town of Vinton, in Gallia County
Brakeman Green walked to the
baggage car and sat down after
the shooting; Mcbride run tn,
train with his shoe full of blood
At Vinton Drs. Clark ard Tur
ner administered hypodermics tt
Brakeman Green to allay his suffer
ing, and Mcbride run the train or
through to Dundas where Conduc
tor Thomas relieved him.
At this writing Green is resting
easy, the ball having been remov.
ed, and it is all but insured that
he will recover. Conductor Nc.
Bride issnursing very sore foo
that is swollen as large as a mans
head.
The drunken desperate Grover
that did the shooting is yet a
large, though the railroad com
pany have sent many detectives OF
the scene to work with Gallia'
famous sheriff, Manering. Afte
the shooting, the assassin entered
the store of Morrison at Bidwel
and used the telephone to call VI
his father, a blacksmith at Porter
to tell him Of the fray, and TO
him to come in with more cartrid
ges. The father nor son hay
been seen since.
There is much sympathy ex
pressed for Mcbride and Green
and their families, in this shocl
just on the eve of Merry Christ
mas. They are both well though
of all along the line, and in ever,
