Proverbs

"When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS EmuL
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.

morning a Japanese fleet, consisting of
six battleships and four cruisers, APP
peared on the horizon. The Russian
cruisers Askold. Bayan and Novik
were then in the harbor, and the ia
pancse torpedo boats advanced to
within thirty or thirty-ive cable
lengths to attack them.
The Japanese battleships and cruis-
ers separated. and then advanced
against two Russian torpedo boats
cruising in Pigeon bay. One Of the
latter broke through the enemy's line
under a hot fire and reached harbor.
At 1915 O'Clock q fierce artillery en-
gagement began between the japanese
battleships and the Russian cruisers,
supported by the shore batteries.
In view of the superiority OF the enc

light Russian cruisers the latter were

the Russian torpedo boats began to fire

last long.
The Japanese manoeuverfng was
clumsy, and in turning their vessels
came so close to one another that Rus

them as they huddled together. A jan

to have belonged to the fiotilla which

The committee on constitution and

There seems to be a strong sentiment
In the State in favor of restric' ing
participation in primaries to those
qualified TO uote in general elections.
Col. Hoyt and Senator Manning also
offered resolutions to the effect that
the constitution be so amended that til {,
rolls of every club nay be revised not

This received upfavoable action from

FALL BACK AGAIN
RUSSIANS CONTINUE TO RETIRE.
Troops Ordered to Retreat When They
Expected to Advance-Japaness
Moving Forward Along En-
tire Front.

Lao Yang, Aug. 28.-7:10 p. NJ
The Russian forces have been disap-
pointed by another unexpected with
drawal. The whole eastern division
and the troops on the Anshanshan po-
sition have been ordered to fall back
to positions nearer Lao Yang just az
the soldiers were expecting another
advance.
The Japanese are not following tho
Russians. The advance from the
south is apparently being pushed
home. Sounds of artillery from that
direction are palmer than they were
yesterday.
The Chinese at Liao Yang are bring
ing out women and children, which
they usually do when expecting a jap
anese advance.
The Russians had sustained hot
artillery fight all of August 26th on the
eastern front, but held all their posi-
tions.
At o'clock in the evening the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent crossed
over to the left flank. The under
standing was that the Russians would
concentrate in the morning for an at
tack on the Japanese in that direction
and the surprise was greater therefore
at the order to retire.
The explanation is given that tho
Tenth corps, especially General
Herschelman's division on the extreme
left, was confronted by greatly su-
perior force of Japanese Though the
Russians fought bravely and held all
their positions, they had lost an Inn
mense number of officers.
Most probably the retirement from
the Anshanshan position arose from
the same reason that the whole noun
tain division, as well as the eastern
troops, retired apparently not because
of the pressure of the Japanese but for
strategic reasons.
The rains had made a thick and
binding mud which almost paralyzed
wagon transportation and made the
movement of guns even more difficult
Though the Japanese witnessed the
slow retirement of the eastern division
they made no attemptsto follow the
Russians, being apparently exhausted
by the duel of August oath and August
25th and the desperate unsuccessful
all-day attack of August Goth.
To-day the sound of cannonading IL
heard palmer in Lao Yang. 1t is moro
to the south than to the southeast.
The Japanese seem to be advancing
along the entire front, particularly
moving with large force up the val
ley Of the Lao river.

Uruguay lnsurrectlon.

Buenos Ayres, Aug. 2s.-A great
Iensation has been created here owing
TO the surprising by troops OF the gov

revolutionary force numbering 1S0 men,
fully armed and equipped, under

Uruguayan coast, but in Argentine ter
ritory. President Ordonez of Uruguay
had been warned that preparations
were being made for an insurrection-
ary expedition and dispatched two
forces with armed vessels to watch for
the expedition. At night the govern
ment troops attacked the insurrection-
lists with a continuous and merciless
fire. Many Of the latter swan ashore.
but eight. badly wounded. were cap
tured. The fate Of the others Is not
known.
The insurrectionary vessel was also
captured and with it q considerable
quantity Of telegraph apparatus.
