nothing.

the two armies are unchanged. The
Russians continue infrequent and in
effective bombardment, principally at
night Or in the early morning, with
heavy guns, devoting their energies
chiefly to the Japanese left, where the
lines are nearer than elsewhere.
The cold weather of the past week
has eliminated in a sharp wind and
fiurries of snow. The ground is frozen,
but the soldiers build few fires for
warmth lest they draw the Russian
shots. They have remarkably and in
geniously well constructed shelters of
cornstalks wherever they are unable to
occupy Chinese houses. Fur overcoats
are being used.

KEEPER WAS
SADLY FOOLED.
Gave up His $500 Slot Machine
to Two Fake County
Detectives.

New brunswick, Nov. 7:-when
Morris Higgins, a hotel.kseper at
South Plainfield, thought that the
M~iddlesex county authorities wanted
his slot machine, he gave it up will
ingly enough. Now he wants the
authorities to help him get it back,
for he has just discovered that he was
made the victim of a swindle.
There has been some activity of
late, OF. the part of Prosecutor Der.
dine, in raiding saloons where nickel
in the slot gambling machines have
been located. Such raids, however,
have been generally confined to New
Brunswick, and no steps have been
taken to suppress the machines in
other parts of the county. The news
of the raids spread, however, and on
October 80, when two young men
drove mp to Higgins Hotel, at South
Plainfield, and informed him that they
we're from Prosecutor Berdine's Office.
Higgins was scared.
1--WE understand there is a slot
machine in your bar-room and we've
come for it. You ought to know it is
against the law to have such
machines, =" said one-of the men.
Higgins was so eager to get rid of
the machine without being arrested
that he found a wrench to loosen the
bolts that held it to the floor, aud
when the two "raiders" found it too
heavy to handle conveniently, Higgins
lent a hand and helped to place it in
the wagon. When the two men went
away, contenting themselves with
taking the machine and not arresting
him, Higgins was happy in the be-
lief that he had escaped easily.
After about a week. however, Hig-
gins became suspicious. He made
some inquiries in New Brunswick,
and as a result of his inquiries noti-
fed the police. The slot machine con-
tanned between $40 and $50 in actual
cash, aud was itself worth about 5000.
Higgins remembered that the wagon
used by the two confidence men was n
delivery wagon for a certain tea and
coffee company. There is a company
of the name in New Brunswick. 1t
has several wagons, which are kept at
a local livery. The proprietor is GER
tain, however, that none of his wag-
ons wal used. He thinks it might have
been an old wagon, which had been
sold, aud had been used by its new
owner gwithoata a. change OF the let
tered 6urtains. 2
Tho police have been unable to get
any trace Of eithsr the wagon or tile
men who worked the game. The slot
machine is also missing. Thinking
that the thieves might have smashed
it simply for the cash it contained.
Higgins has made a search in the
vicinity of his hotel, but to no avail.

GAINED A POUND A WEEK.
Brooklyn Woman Tells Of Simple Flesh
Forming Food that Is sAiso a Cure
for All Stomach Trouble.

Thinness is one of the many symptoms
caused by disordered digestion.
This is well illustrated by an expert
ence told by Mrs. E. J. Bell, 213 Wal
worth Street, Brooklyn, who says:
my daughter has gained over a pound
a week since she began taking Mi-o-na.
Her appetite is good and she enjoys her
food very much. Her face and limbs
are filling out and she has a good color
She has also regained her spirits, whilc
she us-d to be SO melancholy that l
thought at times she would lose her mind.
For a long time she was quite weak and
her nerves so shattered that she had con-
WILSON'S and could not sleep at night.
Now since taking Mi-o-na she sleeps right
through the night until morning and has
gained greatly in strength"
Few medicines have as many friends In
Perth Amboy as Mi-o-na. c. A. Sexton
has the local agency for this preparation.
a box of these tablets costs but Soc, and
this amount will cure the average dyspep-
tic and fill out the wasted form. Begin
the use Of Mi.o-na at once, knowing that
unless it cures, it will cost you absolutely
nothing.

kin Reports Victory Over the Japs :
When They Attacked His
Right Flank.

LONDON, Nov. Especial dispatch
es from Tientsin this morning report
that the defenders Of Port Arthur
/ have retired to the Liaoti hill fort,
where they are intrenched and will
hold out desperately with ten guns of
large caliber. Many Russians are de-
sorting and surrendering. The Japa-
nese, it is added, are advancing with
irresistible energy.
A Tokyo report of the capture of
Wantai hill, Il dominating fort within
two miles of the railway terminus,
shows that the Japanese are making
rapid strides.
The troops of the mikado have fire.
| Quently stolen into the native town of
Port Arthur after dark, but invariably
were driven out at daylight with heavy
losses. The japanese have four large
forts facing the Russian works on
Rihlung mountain and Shanshu noun
tain, where they are mounting naval
| guns on stone foundations.
! Mukden dispatches to Berlin state
that the Russian commanders are pre-
pairing their men to hear of the fall of
Port Arthur.
Advices from Mukden say that the
Japanese are still working hard in
trenching their front, which begins to
look like q continuous fort 1t is be-
lieved they are preparing seriously to
advance, making their front strong.
possibly in order that it may be held
by a comparatively small force while
the heavier force engages in fanking
movements. The Japanese have learned
by bitter experience not to expect much
from a frontal attack. They are obliged,
however, to maintain a strong front to
! prevent General Kuropatkin from
breaking through their line and carry
/ ing the war to their rear.
There is considerable evidence to in
dictate that the japanese will make
| every effort to force the Russians out
of Mukden not only for the moral eff
feet on Europe, but upon the Chinese
as well. Mukden is extremely impor-
tant to them as winter quarters.
The Japanese continue to receive re-
endorsements, and it is believed by
Russian military men that their adj
vancing depends only upon accumulat-
ing sufficient men.
General Kuropatkin has reported the
repulse of a Japanese attack on his
right flank IN Nov. 8.
A Chefu report says that as the re-
suit of months Of preparation vladi-
vostok is now strongly protected, ac-
cording to Captain Halversen of the
Norwegian steamer fungus, who ar
rived there five days out from that
port with 700 Chinese refugees who
were unable to live at vlaaiyostok any
longer owing to the high es of food
and other necessaries due the war.

vostok system of fortifcas begins
many miles outside the proper
and grows stronger as the y is APP

If the Japanese make an attempt to
