NOTHING TO BRAG OF
England Gives opInIon Of Russian
Successes.
JUST TO COVER THE RETREAT.
Rain, impossible Roads and Exhaust
ed Armies are Factors Sufficient in
Themselves to Explain Cessation of
Hostilities.
Hostilities.

st. Petersburg, Oct 22.-Apart from
skirmishes and exploits of scouting
parties, there is almost a complete
suspension of operations in Manchur-
ia. The heavens have interposed to
put stop to blood shed. Rain, i'm
passable roads and exhausted armies
are factors sufficient in themselves to
explain the cessation of hostilitieS, and
these conditions are aggravated by
dense fog overspreading the whole
of the theater of war Behind this
pail either side would be able to
change the disposition of the whole
forces in absolute secrecy, but the
obscurity renders absolutely danger
Gus any attempt at a forward move
ment When the curtain of mist is
lifted the fighting may be resumed
under totally changed conditions.
Associated Press correspondents at
the Russian front record a successful
repulse of night attack on Russian
outposts in the early hours of Octo-
anese and captured a gun, which I'M
der the cover of the fog they we're
able to remove.
The wild flight of rumors continue
in st. Petersburg, the rout or capture
of Japanese divisions or battalions and
scores of guns alternating with alarm
list stories of General Kuropatkin's re-
treat on Mukden, all equally untrue.
War Office declares there have been
no serious developments since cap
ture of Lone Tree hill last Sunday, and
authorizes the Associated Press to de-
ny the reports that Russian battal-
ion had been annihilated in trying to
recross the Taitse river. A prominent
general said.
1T is absurd to propose that bat
talon was still in the other side of
the Taitse river when the whole of
the eastern flank had withdrawn 16
miles northeast of the river AS to
the stories of General Kuropatkin's
retreat it is sufficient to refer to the
energetic scouting behind the Japan
csc lines to show that the Russian
commander is determined to mix with
the forces of General Oku."
The Associated Press is informed
on good authority that the sixteenth
army corps will be the next to start
for the front. 1his corps is stationed
at Vitebek and belongs to the mill
tary district of Wilma, which, as al
ready announced by the Associated
Press is going out as part of the
second Manchurian army, under the
former chief of the Wilma district
General Grippenberg. The corps will
probably leave Wilma on November s
direct for Hardin

SELECTING a Physician.

More than 1000 years ago Rhaze,s
an Arabian physician, gave this ad-
vice to his patients with reference to
the selection of physician: Study
carefully the antecedents of the man
to whose care you propose to confide
all you have most dear in world-that
is, your life, and the lives of your wife
and children. If the man is dissipat-
ed, is given to frivolous pleasures, cul-
tivates with too much zeal the arts
foreign to his profession, still more so
if he be addicted to wine and debauch-
cry, refrain from committing into
such hands lives so precious"

Six Doctors Failed.

South Bend, Ind, Oct. "a Especially
After suffering from Kidney Disease
for three years; after taking treat
ment from six different doctors with
out getting relief, Mr.. ]. o. Laudeman
of this place found not only relief but
a speedy and complete cure in Dodd's
Kidney Pills. Speaking of his cure
Mr.. Laudeman says:
Yes, l suffered from Kidney
Trouble for three years and tried six
doctors to no good. Then l took just
two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills and
they not only cured my kidneys, but
gave me better health in general. OF
course recommended Dodd's Kidney
Pills to others and l know a number
now who are using them with good re-
suits"
MI Laudeman's case is not an ex-
ception. Thousands give similar ex-
periences. For there never yet was a
case of Kidney Trouble from Backache
to Bright's Disease that Dodd's Kid
ney Pills could not cure. They are
the only remedy that ever cured
