The Russians take great deal 1or

and the railroad and accept battle on

japanese care to invade Manehuria at

of the possibility of starving out the
Port Arthur garrison. To do SO they
would have TO cut it off from eommu-
nication with the North, which means
the landing Of a large enough array to
besiege the place and at the same time
to stand of or repulse a Russian relief

egg would be very likely, as we say,
to compel the Russians in the noun
talns to get out and join the main
body, leaving the way clear for the
Japanese forces now on the Ya1u to
advance to the railroad if it so desired.
A parallel instance appears in the his
tory of the Turkish defence of Plevns
in the war with Russia in 1s77-7S. The
Cars army could not dislodge the
Turks until Todtleben came out OF his
retirement and showed them how 70
threaten the place by sending another
army to another point. Once this move
nlent had been made the Turks got OUT
or Plevna in q hurry.
One thing is sure; the japanese will
not walk into the trap which the Rms
slams have prepared and advertised.
They will not follow the plan of cam
paign which the enemy has drawn up
for them. In originality of design, IA
shrewdness and cunning and in vigor
of execution the Japanese generals ask
no odds of any other in the world.
Come what may they know precisely
what they are about. While Kuropat-
kin fumes and tslks they are silently
working out their plans; and as soon
as Togo seals up Port Arthur so thar
not even the torpedo boats OF the enc
my can get out to harass Japanese
transports, something will be done to
test the strength of the main Russian
army. If the opposing forces meet the
shock will be heard round the world.

MUSICAL RECITAL

tory of Music at College Chapel
Wednesday Night.

One of the pleasurable events of
commencement week of Dakota Uni
verslty is the recital and graduation
exercises of the conservatory of music,
and on Wednesday evening, as has
been the custom in the past, the COL
sege chapel was filled to its utmost
capacity by the friends of the insti-
tuition and OF the graduating class.
There were but two graduates this
year, Miss Mary Laughlin, of this
city. and Mr.. Paul Nj. Brown, OF
Aberdeen. Miss Nina Baker, who
was to have graduated, had to give
up her work several months ago on
account of sickness.
The program of the evening was
n of exceptional brilliancy and
some very fine numbers were render.
ed The opening number was a trio
for three pianos. the number being
"Iripel konzert," No. 4 In c., and
it was rendered by Misses Laughlin
and Ruth and Mr.. Brown. They

modern medicine, excluding the poi
sonous drugs from his laboratory,
and his maxim: ''save the life with
out the knife, ii possible" are rea-
sons for bis great popularity. But
the point that has made him more
friends than any other since coming
to South Dakota, is his ability to
tell within a very short time just how
long it will take to cure each case.
Thus he is able to tell the patient in
advance just what his course of
treatment will cost. His method Of
treating rupture, piles, hydrocele and
varicocele without operating is a mar
vel Of success. Where Others operate
for hip joint diseases and tubefcular
conditions, he supplies natures rem
edies i'm a natural way and restores
the patient. Where some physicians
say let the child ''outgrow it'i in
cases of fits, ricketts, and wea kness
of the brain, he supplies the tissues,
remedies ano gland extracts and soon
the parents hearts are gladdened
to see their child as God intended it
should be. Where left TO ''outgrow
it" these cases generally develop iu-
to helpless invalids. and are sent
TO the home for the tcel.e minded.
No matter what trpH3Ie you may
have you can consult DR.. Buck and
get advice, and if your disease is out
of his line he may be able to tell
you of a specialist that treats your
particular disease.

Dr. Buck is Coming.

On Tuesday, July 5th, between ii
d. IN. and 3 p. M, the people of
Mitchell will have an opportunity OF
consulting the most successful spec
ialist on chronic diseases in this
country. Frederick Wellington Buck,
M. d., M. E., superintendent of the
South Dakota S@anitarium at Aber-
deem, has made a record for that in
s%titution during its first years. exist
ence that mas never been equalled by
a sanitarium before, doing the a.
mount of business they did. The Sam
itarium doctors during the year
treated an average Of two hundred
and fifty patients a month at the
Sanitaiium and at the patients
homes, and out of that vast number
of sick people only signed one death
certificate. Doctor Buck is very
proud OF this record, as many of the
patients were given up as hopeless
by other physicians before reaching
his hands. The marvellous success
Doctor Buck has had in treating
long standing cases is not due simply
to good luck, but to a natural ability
for his chosen profession. combined
with IN education that few physi-
clans spend the time and money to
obtain. He is a graduate Of the Ma
tional College of acknowledgements
and of three medical colleges repre-
senting three different systems of
medicine. He is therefore in posi-
tion to use such remedies and appli-
ances as are lest suited to each case.
He is acknowledged by all physicians
that know him to be an expert d.

nearly every case. just where the dis
ease is located without asking a
single question. A firm believer in

The bishop then went OF TO show
that no great institution of learning
had succeeded for any length OF
time divorced entirely from christian
influences. The University of Nir-
ginia had been founded by Mr.. jeff
erson on that platform but in a very
short time il had been compelled
to bring in a chaplain and, so far as
he knew, it was the only university
in the country which had tor years
kept a paid chaplain in constant SER
vice. Similarly the famous Philadel-
phia college founded by Stephen
Girard had tried to exclude all min
listers and had forbidden them ever
to enter the grounds. The morals
OF the students became so bad and
the tone OF the college so low that
the experiment practically failed.
The trustees finally evaded the prov
ision in MIR. Girard's will by elec!.ing
Mr. Allen, a ethodist local preach
err as president. He was a graduate
of Dickson college, IA Methodist
school, was a devoul christian,
though not an ordained minister.
He introduced the scriptures and
other religious influences and the
college soon began to prosper. And
in a great variety of ways it may
be shown that this christian ele-
ment is vital. He impIessively
pointed out the fact that the athe-
lists and iniidcls in the land We're
building no charities, founding no
great philanthropic institutions and
supporting no great b~enevolences.

Methodits of South Dakota were dis
