CIVILIANS ARE URGED TO LEAVE.
Massacre Feared in Event of Japanese Success
six Hundred of the MikadO'S Men SlaugIl-
tered by their Comrades.

In the course or the assaults wnlcn
took place in the last four days OF
August two companies of Japanese
soldiers, according to Prince Radzivil,
found themselves at the mercy of the
Russians and hoisted a white flag.
To this, however, the Russians paid
no attention, and continued to volley
rapidly into the helpless ranks Of the
enemy. In the meantime Japanese
troops in the rear of the companies
that had raised The white flag saw
what their comrades had done and
expressed their disapproval of the
surrender by firing into their rear.
AS a result of this fire from friend
and foe 600 men were annihilated.
The dead fell among the decomposing
bodies of previous assaults. For days
afterward the wounded men in this
area raised fiuttering handkerchiefs in
their hands in pleas for help, but the
Russians were afraid to venture out
to give succor.

| Chicago, June 27.-Threatened with
starvation and with her husband hope
lecsly insane in the asylum at Kanka
kee, Mrs. Anna Kelsdzick gavesu the
struggle for existence, killing her three
small children and then ending heI
own life. Illuminating gas was the
means Of destruction she adopted and
when the bodies were found, all four
had been dead several hours. The
family lived in three small rooms at
965 North Roby street and Sunday a
constable was to eject the mother and
her babies from the premises for nom
payment.
After Mrs. Kelsdzick had been
served with summons to appear in
court, she decided to end the livesSof
herself and little ones. The three chill
dren, Bruno, Herman and Walter,
aged Z, 5aand years respectively,
were found in bed, locked in one an
others arms. the mothers lifeless
body was found lying on the kitchen
floor while gas was escaping from, a
jet in the room.
That the woman made every prepa.
ration to do away with herself and chill
dren was evident. She first wrote and
sealed letter addressed to a relative
in Germany. Then she bathed herself
and donned clean linen. Each child
had also been given bath, clean night
gowns placed upon them and the little
ones sent to the sleep from which they
would never awaken.
Several months ago Kelsdzick, who
was out of work at the time, became
insane from ,brooding over his troubles
and was sent to the asylum. Since
that time the mother, who was in poor
health, has had hard struggle for
existence. Last week she became SO

 T can with all truthfulness say that Grape-Nuts is the most beneficial of all cereal foods in my family young as we'll as old. It is food and medicine both to us. A few mornings ago at breakfast my little boy said:
 Mama, does the King eat Grape Nuts every morning?
 T smiled and told him I did not know. but that I thought Grape Nuts certainly made delicious dish, fit for a King" CIts fact that the King of eat Grape-Nuts)
 T find that by the constant use of Grape Nuts not only as a morning ce- real but also in buildings, salads. etc, made after the delicious recipes found in the little bo@k in each package, it is proving to be a great nerve food for me besides having completely cured a long standing case of indigestion" 1" Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich.
 There is no doubt Grape Nuts is the most scientific food in the world.
 Ten days trial of this proper food in place of improper food will show in steady, strong nerves. sharper braia and the power to Ego longer and fur ther and accomplish more. There's 8 reason.
