St. Petersburg, Dec. i8.-General StoesseTs latest dispatches from Port Arthur were published today but as given out do not carry the story of the garrison's stubborn defense be yond December To- The story of the operations, so far as it has been given cut is intensely interesting and shows that there had been an almost unin- terrupted assault of the most desper- ate character from November 20, to December To- when the Japanese, af- ter losing over 2, eco men captured 2O3 Meter Hill and were able from that position to shell the squadron in the Port Arthur rOadstead.
 There the official account ends but it is explained that the Japanese do not occupy the top of the hill, which is still exposed to a deadly fire from the Russian artillery. The Japanese are using a plunging fire from very heavy guns from behind the crest of the hill, but that this fire is effectually directed is shown by the damage sUf- fered by the Russian squadron. The Japanese are credited with using H. inch and 16-inch shells and Howitzers. The effect these must be most deadly

KANSAS CITY MARKETS
A Review of Prices and Conditions of
 the Past Week.

Kansas City, Mo, Dec. 1S.-The total cattle receipts here last week dropped down to 42000 head, a loss of 12,0O0 from the previous week. 4 much smaller percentage of range cattle was included than usual and a very much larger proportion was beef cattle in various stages of finish. but hardly any choice ones. The range cattle were bought by the packers steady to strong for those that had held up in flesh, but where they had started to shrink very much, were 10 to 20 cents lower. That is the way the killers bought them, but country buyers took the thin cattle at strong to 15 cents higher prices. Good grass steers sold at S3.50 to $4, few shipments of heavy Colorados at $40 to $40, cows brought s2.35 to s2.S5, .. few as high as S3.2O, canners dull. The total cattle supply is 10000 head. light for Mon day. Killing cattle are steady. stock CTS and feeders strong to 10 cents higher. Most of the stock and feeding cattle sell at sSSe to sS.65, but choice ones bring more. One lot of dehorned Herefords from Durango, Colorado, sold at $4.05 last week. The optimistic talk in regard to future beef prices has become so common that a good many cattle feeders who have been holding back are now putting stuff into the feed lots, wherever they can secure feed. t-

ciated Press had with Commander Mizzeneoff, the executive officer of the battleship Poltava up to the time that vessel disafmed and who, as all ready told, headed a party of seven Russians which left Port Arthur in sail boat December 15, and after eX- treme suffering while crossing in a driving silowstorm arrived here De cember 16, bearing dispatches which were turned over to the Russian con sulate for transmission to St. Peters burg. These dispatches it is under stood, consist partly of a statistical report of the effect of the Japanese bombardments and there is nothing in them to indicate that General Stoessel is without hope that the fortress will be able to hold out.
 A PARTICIPANTS STORY.
 Commander Mizzeneoff; who was wounded in the leg during the battle of High Fill said to the Associated Press corr espondent: Since the Jap anese. on the 2Sth (month not men tioned), began their attack on High Hill, which they call 2O3 Meter Hill the fighting has been continuous. The steep and sandy slopes of the hill were streaked and dotted with snow when the Japanese began the battle, which was destined to furnish so many deeds of heroism that they have become commonplace. There was so much slaughter that even Port Arthur's war hardened veterans shuddered at the sight.
 "The Japanese were compelled to chamber up the slopes of the hill, in many cases without firing, in the face of one of the most murdercus fires ever poured from rifles and machine guns. I was there and it seemed. to me that flesh and blood would be un- able to stand our fire for a minute.
 "The enemy went down in squads and compa nies, but always there were others grinlly coming forward. Their bravery was beyond praise, as was that Cf our own men. Sometimes the fighting was hand to hand, with the muzzles of the rifles at the breasts Of the contestants, bayonets being used as swords.
 HILL RAN WITH BLOOD.

started in an effort to destroy the identity of the unfortunate girl. but the hair had been coiIed so tightly that it was only partially destroyed That which is left is of a light brown color and would indicate that the deceased was blonde and had blue eyes There is every indication that the young wO- man died of poison, the hands being clenched as though she died in con VulSions.
 The theory most favored is that the girl was probably a visitor from the east and having been led astray by some man. was induced tc accompany him on a picnic excursion to the hEi and was there killed by means of . poisoned lunch.

with the blood of the wounded, some of whom had crawled into it, seeking in its coldness, surcease fer their dy- ing agonies. Eventually, as in similar instances which were to follow, we re- tired leaving the work of driving the enemy from the summit, to the resist less guns of the neighboring forts, mo- tably those of Liaoti mountain.
 "One incident in this assault will re- main forever impressed on my mind. When the Japanese standard bearer had reached the summit and planted his flag. a gigantic Russian corporal, left his retreating comrades and rush ing back seized the Japanese flag. which he was tearing with his hands when he fell, pieced with several bull lets. When the Japanese retired under an artillery fire the Russians reoccu- pied the summit.
 '',The second and third assaults were replicas of the first, although the sec ond was the most ferocfous, being nearly all hand to hand fighting, in which mercy was neither asked nor givens
 USELESS SLAUGHTER.
 "A remarkable incident occurred in the third assault as the Russians, still facing the enemy, retreated. Jap
  aloft. climbed the pinnacle and fell dead clutching the colors. In his tracks another arose with the colors, only to fall instantly with a dozen wounds in his body. Six others fol- lowed and met the same fate. At last when the ninth man appeared, a Rus sian officer exclaimed, Don't shoot that fellow with the flag, it will be planted anyhow"
 ''The Japanese adopted a curious ex- pedient which assisted them greatly in the third assault. They had prepared huge piles of wood, coal and cornstalks which they ignited, the wind being in the faces of the Russians. The result ant fire was immense and the flames and smoke compelled the Russians to retire. The red glare from this fire l disclosed a ghastly picture more infer nal than any ever dreamed by Dante COST OF THREE ASSAULTS. "The assaults thus far cost the Jap anese easily. F, GOO men, while our own | loss was under 1000. The sides of the hill were literally covered with the dead and wounded. The trenches were ! rivulets of blood and every visible spot was dyed crimson.

Even the Japanese who singly use the hill to observe thS i harbor, do so at great peril.
 | "Foilowing the third assault ar armistice of five hours was agreed upon to bury the dead.
 Tn this task great speed was nee | essary. The Japanese undoubtedly made many awful mistakes and beyond doubt many persons heiplessly wound ed were shoveled in masses into pit and trenches. The Japanese could not owing to the darkness and their fever ish haste, distinguish between the deaC and wounded.
 Scarcely an officer participating il the battle of High Hill escaped unhur and the proportion of young officer killed was very high"

when turned upon the neighboring forts.
 The public reception of Stoessei's dispatches as whole is not bad. Ev- cry voice is loud in praise of StOessel' $ defense of Port Arthur, while authoTi- ties assert the main line of forts has not yet been broken. The Japanese 90 far have used every device of engineer ing skill in making their approaches, but with enormous sacrifices, have been able to take only the outer line defenses. It is declared that the garri- son probably will be able to hold cut a considerable time yet.

Cases formerly considered incurable
now rapidly recover under the new
treatment. The well-known specialist,
Franklin Miles, NJ D.. LII. B.. will
send a 1915 course of his New Spec

the great superiority of his new sys-
tenn of treating heart troubles, ST u
as short breath, pain III the side, OPP
preston in the chest, irregular pulse,

They are the result OF twenty-five
years of careful study, extensive re-

treating weak, dilated, enlarged, rheu

one requires a different treatment.
The treatments are carefully select
