resentative and appreciative andle lec
that greeted NIXON Yerington and Nor

night cannot he construed any other way
than that the people of this valley are
almost a unit in their endorsement OF
the administration that has put under
way the great irrigation work for this
valley and that is doing so -...uch to re
claim the arid lands Of Nevada.
Party lines are ob,iterated by the over

the very make OF the voters here, ire
spective OF party to stand by their
friends. and It's all Roosevelt and Nixon.

The hearty reception to Mr.. Staun on.
the nominee for assemblyman from Win

champion In him in the legislative halls
at Carson.
The meeting was presided over in an
able manner by Mr.. Anker. our candidate
for the assembly.

JAPS CONTINUE TO ADVANCE
Russians Retreat, Stubborn
ly Resist PurSuerS

While the battle of Shakhe river has
undoubtedly resulted in a japanese vic
tory today's dispatches indicate that Ku-
ropatkin's defeat was far from being as
crushing as the news of Saturday and
Sunday presaged. His offensive move
ments failed utterly, but 1t is apparden,
that even in his retreat he is battling
stubbornly and inf1icting severe losses on
the japanese. while he himself is susta n
palling."
At several critical points along the
extended line of battle the Russians have
LAUNCHED attack after attack at the Jap
anese. and in some instances succeeded
in driving them out and occupying their
positions. In one such attack they cap
tured eleven guns. These. however are
apparently but isolated successes in what
is otherwise general defeat. An official
report to St. Pc ersburg says that can
nonading was reopened along the entire
front this morning. No Official advices
have been received from Japanese
sources, but a disratch from Toxic. based
on reliable private sources" says the
Japanese continue their advance and that
Oku is now operating to block the Rus
sian retreat along the railroad.

Headquarters Of General Okus Left
Amy in the Field. Oct Is, p. M, via
Tien Tsin, Oct. 1.-THE Russians last
night retired along the eastern line ex-
aept on the extreme right. where they
made a strong stand at Iiushinpo s;a-
zion and in Chinese villages near by.
Early in the evening the japanese ad-
vanced but were unable to drive the
Russians out The japanese then at
tempted TO cut through along the railroad
in order to prevent Russian retreat.
At midnight the Russians attacked the
japanese line ana after a hard fight.
lasting four hours, were driven back
with heavy losses.
The opposing forces spent the night
within rifle range of each other.
Behind the Russian guns are lines of
great baggage and ammunition trains.
and the determined resistance was for
the purpose of protecting these until the
retreat should be accomplished.
Large numbers of infantry were seen
retI eating all day. They were shelled by
the japanese heavy artillery.
The fighting along this line for the last
forty eight hours was the heaviest Of the
entire battle.
The losses during the six days fighting
have been very heavy. The guns banged
away all night. and thousands of shells
were thrown into both camps. At dawn
the Russians again attacked and were
again repulseo with heavy losses.

A Candidate.

Dol. Jarvis Wanser. of Vineland,
Commandant of the Soldiers Home.
was in Bridgeton Monday for little
time looking after some business The
Colonel is locking greatly improved
and says his health is much better
than it has besn for some time. The
Colonel said to the Pioneer" that he
knew of little new that was especially
interesting in politics upon the east
side of the county. He said that Lam
dis township Republicans would i'm
mediately ask for representation upon
the county ticket in the fall and would
in all probability present Assembly
man Louis Fl. Miller for denomination
for the fourth term. The Colonel
said there had been some talk of other
Assembly candidates in Vineland, but
he had little doubt but that the party
in Lands would be unanimously for
Miller when the primaries were held.
1t will be claimed for Miller that his
position in the Legislature was such
that he would be of much more value
to the county than a new man would
possibly be.

he held May 10. in this city, to choose

The State is entitled to twenty dis
trict delegates-two for each of the

First District, which is composed Of
Camden, Salem and Gloucester coun-
ties. the leaders have decided that the
first two counties shall have the nam
ing OF the delegates. Camden will
name J. A. Van SAINT and Salem is
likely to name George Hires. although
there may be a change in the latter. +
The Second District is composed of
Atlantic, Cumberland, Burlington and
Cape May counties. Congressman
John j. Gardner. of Atlantic, and
State Senator Bloomfield Fl. Minch, of

CRAZY FAD.

Salem, N. j.. April A new and
wholly unique fad among the girls of
Salem is responsible for case which
threatens serious consequences for one
OF them. just where the idea started
IS not known, but several weeks ago
some OF the incest girls of the city be-
gan to show each other the initials of
their dearest male friend, scratched
upon the snowy skins of the forearms.
The scratching, it was said, had
been done with gold pins and it was
claimed that there YVES no danger in
the practice. Beside. it was "just too
sweet for anything" to have ones
friends initials to carry about with
one in that indslible way. When the
scratches grew faint it was carefully
renewed. and it is likely that some of
the girls will carry through life scars
marking the letters thus cut into the
cuticle.
The unfortunate lass who is suffer-
ing from the effects of the fad must
have been scratched with a pin upon
which there lurked poison of some
character. for she is losing sleep with
what appears to be well. developed
blood-poisoning, and she is one of the
prettiest girls in the city.

While here he worked at the East
Bridgeton railroad station for three
years and took railroad orders over the
wire.
At the age Of years young Fowler
began the study Of telegraphy. His
position in Vineland is one Of respon-

office and handles all the press and
commercial matter.

A NEW GLASS
COMPANY SOON

1t can be said that when the hollow
ware glass season begins in the fall,
there will be one more green glass
company to take it's place among the
manufacturing industries of Bridge
ton. The preliminaries of the orRani-
zation have been considered, and the
principal and controlling stock holders
OF the corporation have discussed the
matter in all its phases aud about
concluded upon the organization.
All of the principal owners will be
men Of practical experience in the
glass business. and are residents of the
city. One Of the men is now a prac-
tical factory manager. and another of
the proposed company has had wide
experience along the same lines. The
other men have for years been con-
nected with the industry.
There seems to be nothing in the
way OF an early Incorporation of the
company, but it is scarce likely that
the papers will be fled previous to the
operation of the present glass blast.
The proposed concern has already a
site for IFS plant and will be in posi-
tlon to quickly develop first class
factory in a good location and easily
accessible to the railroads.
