both quality and quantity OF bread
they make from the flour they use.

make more bread than a great many
other fiours and much better bread
too. You will get from four to seven
more loaves from a sack of Pillsbury' IS

Russia is said to be the sloweSt of

Wages are low from Poland to Vlad-

War News IS Expensive.

News from the seat of the LuSSO-
japanese var is being cabled and tele-
graphed to this country at the rate of
from 2sg to 5O4 cents a word. The
former rate obtains from points in
China Especially Chez Foo, where
much Of the direct news originates.
The higher rate is from Japan. The
words must travel IL. sos miles before
they reach their destination. A cable
gram from Japan of 1000 words, less
than a newspaper column, costs s505.

five players to draw for the first prize.
DR.. Loring was the lucky party to
carry of the prize. There was trouble
when it came to deciding who was to
be rewarded with the BOBBY there
being five players who were deserving
of it. After considerable excitement
it was decided to give it to Mrs. Lor-

Progress of the War.

The war Developments of the last
few days indicate that the japanese
military sta Il is bending all its ener-
gies to put an army overwhelming in
plumbers in Corea The Hermit king
dom thus becomes the base of opera
tiOnS for a campaign to the rear Of
Polt Arthur as well a. for an advance
against the Russian line on the Yalu
river.
The repulse of the japanese at Tai
ien-Wan and Pigeon Bay indicates
that strategic points in the vicinity
of Port Arthur are strongly guarded.
Pigeon Bay is OF the west side of the
Liao-Tung peninsula, parallel almost
with Tallen- Wan on the east side, and
between them and Port Arthur the
country is practically a great Russian
camp.
In the lower part of fallen Wan bav
is the city of Dalney, on which Russia
has spent since 1901 $40, 600, 900 a
year, and which was built under the
direction of American engineers on
American models. Dalny is purely a
commercial city, and its defense is ia
the forts al Talien-Wan. On the
Liao-Tung peninsula to the south of
fallen Wan and Pigeon Bay is massed
the wealth of Russia in the East, and
Japan is striking at b vital point
in the Russian line.
On the Yalu river the Russian army
has in its rear a line Of mountains,
and the Yalu in its front. This army
must be supplied by water from Port
Arthur or overland from points on
the railway from Hardin to Port Ar
thur. The march of a japanese army
on Mukden would break the supply
line of this army, as well as cut Port
Arthur off from the north. Therefore
military and naval men are looking
for developments between Win, at
the moutho of the Yalu, aud Kir-Chow,
fifty or more miles north OF Port Ar
thur.
However, as both armies must be
supplied, with communications pro-
tected, before heavy engagements are
fought. the campaign on land cannot
have the rapidity of movement that
has characterized the campaign on
the Sea.-Inter Ocean.

Removal Notice and Circular Letter
TO Our Customers.
DEAR SIR:

DEAR SIR
Incidental to the volume of our business, the open
ing of a complete new set of books is both necessary and
essential. In doingthis it is naturally the desire to trans
fer to the new book only such accounts as are not yet
due, we thus economic the time as well as space in the
1904 books.
Experience has shown that it is exceedingly desirable
and beneficial to both the firm and customers that ac-
counts be each year closed to a given date, owing to the
fact that payments on account during the year compel
detailed statements, and the plan suggested prevents long
detailed statements on the part of the firm, and what
might perhaps be looked upon at times by a customer
as a dunning letter when not SO intended.
1t is our purpose to soon move into our new quar-
tiers which will entail quite an expense, the cooperation
of our friends will be greatly appreciated. We take this
opportunity to thank our many friends and customer
who have favored us with their trade during the past
year and assuring them there is no house in the country
that can better serve their interests.

while it has been cold almost the whole

damage the fruits. Unless colder

aged in the towering in the early

afternoon by taking strychnine. She
died in less than thirty minutes. Drs.
Knott and Loring were called but did

Miss Durham was about % years
old. There seems to have been really
no cause for the rash act, but she was
of a nervous temperament and fancied
that she was not treated just right.
