JAPS TAKE
KIN=CHOU.
Russian Force of 5000 De.
feated.
LOSSES WERE HEAVY.
Mikado'S Army Caught Enemy
At Narrow Pass and Forced
the Position.
LOSSES WERE HEAVY.

LONDON, May IA report from
Shanhaikwan says that the Russian
commander, thinking that the Japa-
nese had retired from Fengwangcheug,
sent 1900 Russians from Haichcug
and Liaoyang toward Fengwangcheug.
They We're surprised by 10000 Japa.
nese in the Tatung pass. The Russian
casualties were 1000, and over thou
sand Russians surrendered. The re-
port does not state the Japanese loss.
COincident with the japanese ad-
vance in the direction Of Liaoyang
there has been a concentration of all
the available Russian troops between
Liaoyang and Maotien pass, and the
fortiications of Liaoyang are being fc-
verishly hurried
The railway between Tatschitsla and
Liaoyang is still intact, but every prep
aration has been made for its immedi-
ate destruction in the event Of the ne.
cessity for a retreat to Mukdcn.
According to many reliable late Tokyo
reports the Japanese have stormcd,
captured and occupied Knchau which
is about thirty-two miles north Of Port
Arthur and are now advancing on
Dalny.
japanese spies had ascertained where
the Russians had thirty gums for the
defense Of Kiuchau and where numcr
Gus mines and wire entauglements at
points where a Japanese attack was
expected had been placed.
After the occupation of Kinchau by
the Japanese the Russians retired in
good order 10 the heights further south,
which We're attacked by the full Japa-
ncse force and carried after a stubborn
resistance.
The japanese also attacked Nanqwan-
ling, on the narrOwest part of the
Kwangtung peninsula, and drove back
the Russians by main force.
The attack on Kinchau, the dispatch
adds, was begun at dawn, and by noon
Kinchau was in the hands Of the Jap
anese, who occupied the castle.
The fighting was Of the most desper-
ate character. 1t is believed the casu-
alties were heavy.
Advices from Liaoyang say rumors
have been received there of a change
in the plans of the japanese. 1t is
said that they have temporarily aban-
doned their northern advance and viii
concentrate on Port Arthur. As soon
as that fortress is captured it is their
intention to proceed against Liaoyang.

Sanford, May o. The store of NJ.
L. Whitney in this place in which the
post office is also located was broken
into Wednesday and some stamps and
cigars taken. The burglars were after
money evidently and with the except
ion of taking an empty second class
mail bag to carry away their small
plunder, did not interfere with the
post office at all.
They found access through the front
door, which was pried opened, judging
from the marks upon it. The safe was
unlocked and contained little of value
except postage stamps which we're
taken as were several drawers in the
safe which contained the stamps and
other articles. One box OF cigars is
also missing. The money drawer
which had nothing of value in it had
also been investigated,

FIRST AND LAST.

List to the woful stry, It tells how a man will sink Down to the lowest slums on earth All for the sake of drink. The scene is crowded baTTOOm; There is yomg man at the bar; He is happy, gay and thoughtless. Just as most young men are I-e has 70 thought of sorrow; He thinks not of the end, For he is only drinking Just tO please a friend. An old man now has entered, Haggard, bent and gray, With a shaky voice. unto the youth. These warning words did say: You are young, now; I will tell you Something that is for your good; Advice that even I would follow Heavens. if I only could. Keep your gold, lad; do not sQua1der: Keep your character as we'll Win you listen, while the story Of my wasted life l tell? Yet there stl is ieft some honor In this cold, black heart of stone, h my bosom there is a longing For something I dare not own. For my pathway leads through dark
 ness,
 Where the sun would never shine, Though about me men are happy, Happiness will not be mine. IRe-olIectons bring before me Pictures <of the long ago Sunny meadows, shady woodlands. And a river. far below. can see boy, so happy, In that picture, bright and fair; I would give my life tonight. lad, If again I could be there. Now, your bright young face reminds me, ] When I took my downward start, ] Of when, for me the sun was shining, | When I had human heart !. I was then as yoU are now, lad; l Of the future had no fears; | Scorned an aged fathers pIeadings, ! Tn vain my poor mothers tears. | Memory brings another picture. | A happy home no more, But a picture of a drunkaTd ! Staggering through a barroOm door. In the gutter he has fallen; 1 There's a maiden passing by, i Her face is sad and careworn.
 From her lips there comes a sigh. ! Lad the maiden was my sister, And to her l once was dear. In fancy. now, I hear her sobbing.
 Why, oh God! do I find him here?" From that day, lad, I have never Looked upon her sad, sweet face.
 For, you see, my pride had left me. I had fallen in disgrace.
 Do you wonder why I'm homeless? ] Why I'm now without a friend?
 In sorrow her young life ended,
 In darkness my base life must end.
 For that reason, now, shaw you
 Pictures of a drunkard's fate;
 For that reason, now, I warn you.
 Turn aside, ere 'tis too late.
 Leave this place, lad, of corruption;
 Leave the strong drink, cards and dice
 Honor those who still would love you
 Take wretched mans advice.
