Der of commerce. For many years prior to
1892 the city had been under democratic
control and a cabal of politicians which
went under the name of the city Hall
Ring" dominated local politics. Capt. Ne
Cardy had showed by facts and figures
that the management of municipal affairs
was drifting to a point of dangerous ex-
travagance. He was nominated for city
controller in 1892 and reelected for five
successive terms. He had previously held
the position of county auditor of Ramsey
county.
Capt. McCardy has been commander of
the Minnesota Grand Army of the Re-
public, member of the board of naval
visitors to the Annapolis Naval Academy
and delegate to many commercial conven-
tons.
he is nevertheless a man of extreme firm
ness. and during his long term as city con-
trOller never strained any points of law Or
waived any technicalities. At one time
there We're no available funds for paying
off the superintendent and Instructors in
the city schools of st. Paul. The control
Ter was besieged by the school teachers aad
from another fund which had surplus.
He refused on the ground that 1t was con-
trary to law. The school teachers began a
campaign against him, but he was re-
elected despite their efforts
In appearance Capt. McCardy Is typical
military man. He is over six feet in height
and is dignified and soldierly in his bear
Ing. He has been lifelong friend of Capt.
Henry A. Castle, the retiring auditor.
When asked the other day on his arrival
in Washington If he belonged to certain
fraternties, Capt. McCardy replied:

it will be easily possible to know where the
limit is In addition to this an ordinance
should be passed imposing a fine of con-
siderable value on any person going on the
unsafe section, and the officers should be
authorized to arrest and bring before the
Police Court any person violating the ordi-
nance. The principle is the same as that
by which our streets are made safe by
filming riders Of bicycles or owners of autos
mobiles who rush through our streets at
high rates of speed. A few fines imposed
would put an effective stop to the risks
now taken with impunity and We should
not have to deplore the disasters such AS
have marked the past. G. H. MERWIN. :,

An Unexpected Retort.

A country newspaper man. who is
very fond of honey. visited a neigh
boring city recently. and at one of the
hotels he was served with some de
licious honey. He enjoyed it SO much
that he told his wife all about it when
he returned home. On his next trip
to the city she accompanied him. They
visited the same hotel, and when the
noon meal was being served, he said
to his wife that he hoped they would
have some more of that honey. 1t did
not appear, however. and the newspa
per man. therefore, beckoned to a
waiter and said: Say. Sambo. where
is my honey?" He was almost para
lyzed when that worthy grinned and
replied: she doan' work here no
more, boss. She done got job at de
silk mill" The wife received hand
some new dress before they returned
home, after making solemn promise
not to tell the story.-Emma c. Camp

Russians May Abandon Mukden.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 6, 1920 a. NJ
It is impossible at this hour to obtain
any statement from the authorities re-
garding the reported preparations for
the abandonment of Mukden.
The bulletin from there saying this
Is contemplated is the first intimation
that such course is contemplated. II
1t turns out to be true. 1t means the
abandonment Of the whole of southern
Manchuria and the winding up of the
present campaign.
In fact, should Mukden be evacuated
here would be no point for wintering
he army Of a quarter of million with
its many wounded, short of Harbin.
On the other hand. the evacuation OF
Mukden would give Field Marshal Oy-
INA commodious quarters and the
practical control of two lines OF rail-
way. The Kinchow- -Hsinmintin line,
tapping rich Chinese territory, stops
little short of Mukden, with which 1t is
connected by good wagon road.
The report of the prospective evacu-
alton of Mukden, II well founded.
would indicate that the Gripping ef-
,ect of the Lao Yang fighting on ku-
ropatkin's army is more serious than
has as yet been intimated.
A summary of the war situation to
late shows that the whole Russian
army. or at least portion of it, is al
ready above Yentai station and Is
pushing on toward Mukden.
Field Marshal Oyama's entire army
has crossed the Taitse river and part
of 1t is hanging on to Kuropatkin's S
flank.
A strong fianking column on the
east is pushing rapidly north In the
effort to head off the Russians.
Against this column General Kuro-
patkin has sent out a strong cavalry
iivision to the northeast, which 1t Is
believed is already in position to
check the japanese fiankers, while TO
The westward Kuropatkin is moving
iivision toward Sinmintin. thirty miles
west of Mukden, to meet any interfer-
ence that may be attempted from the
direction of Yinkow or New Chwang.
Oyama's advance is reported to be
engaging the Russian rear, but 1t is
not expected to develop anything more
serious than a series of rear-guard ac-
tions tending to harass General kuro-
patkin's retreat.
The Japanese have thrown strong
aanking column across the Taitse
river at Benitzu, about thirty miles
northeast of Lao Yang. This column
is hurrying to the northeast and en-
deavoring to get in between the Rus
sian army and Mukden.
It is against this movement that
Kuropatkin has dispatched General
Rennenkampf with a strong Cossack
division, which 1t is believed is already
blocking the eastern high road.
Kuropatkin has three roads over
which he is marching toward Mukden,
beside the double-tracked railroad. The
latter is chiefly occupied in the trans.
portation of guns and of equipment, of
which there is a great quantity. The
soldiers are marching In light order,
and most of the wounded have aiready
been dispatched north by rail.
General Kuropatkin, in a telegram to
the general staff filed at l p. m. Sep
tember 5th, north of Yentai, says the
Japanese Sunday engaged his rear

Rear Guard Cut to Pieces.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 5.-lt is re-
ported at a late hour that General
Kuropatkin's rear guard has been al
most annihilated and that the main
Russian army is in imminent danger OF
being surrounded.
The Russian losses during the fight
ing at Lao Yang are estimated at
$1,000.
There is no doubt here that a num-
ber of guns, especially siege artillery,
have been abandoned. -.
1t is reported here. but not yet con-
firmed, that General Kuropatkin was
Obliged to abandon 200 guns at Lao
Yang. Some of them, it is added. were
damaged in the fighting and the rest
were disabled by order of the Russian
commander in chief.
A dispatch from General Kuropatkin.
forwarded yesterday evening, indicates
that General Kuropatkin's army and
Kuroki's army are racing for Mukden
and that the result Is in doubt.
General Kuropatkin says that the re-
treat is being conducted in perfect
order.
The japanese repeatedly attacked
the Russian rear Sunday, but in every
case they were repulsed.
An Associated Press dispatch from
Yentai, a place about ten miles north
east of Lao Yang, makes the signifi-
cant statement that desultory fighting
occurred around Mukden Saturday last.

Wolves Are Increasing.

The wolf is more dreaded Of hu-
manity than any other animal. Nc
doubt we to-day inherit that dread
from ancestors who chad occasion to
fear the long-fanged quadruped. for
there are few portions of the world to-
day where the wolf is really danger
GUS to mankind.
Dangerous to mans pocket-to his
herds and fiocks, he is still to-day in
many portions of the country. A ranch
In Montana or New Mexico may pay
many hundreds of dollars a year for
gray wolf scalps.
Last year the state of Minnesota
paid over $4,000 a month in the best
of the wolf season. One day in the
month OF last March the state auditor
paid $615.50 in wolf bounties. The
total for the few months preceding
was $36,54S.50. On this basis the cur
rent year will foot up nearly as much
as the two years preceding, which ap
pears to indicate that Brother Wolf
is holding his own even as matter
of commerce. In many parts of the
western cattle range the gray wolves
are increasing rather than decreasing.

BUILDING FOOD
To Bring the Babies Around.

When little human machine Tor
large one) goes wrong. nothing is SO
important as the selection of food
which will always bring it around
again.
my little baby boy fifteen months
old had pneumonia, then came brain
fever, and no sooner had he got over
these than he began to cut teeth and,
being SO weak, he was frequently
thrown into commissions" says Col
orado mother.
'I decided a change might help. so
took him to Kansas City for visit.
When we got there he was SO very
weak when he would cry he would
sink away and seemed like he would
die.
when I reached my sisters home
she said Immediately that we must
feed him Grape-Nuts and. although
had never used the food, we got some
and for few days gave him just the
Juice of Grape-Nuts and milk. He
got stronger so quickly we were soon
feeding him the Grape-Nuts itself and
Ia a wonderfully short time he fat
tened right up and became strong
and well.
THAT showed me something worth
knowing and, when later on my girl
came, raised her on Grape-Nuts and
she is strong healthy baby and has
been. You will see from the little
photograph send you what strong,
Chubby youngster the boy is now, but
he didn't look anything like that be-
fore we found this nourishing food.
Giape-Nuts nourished him back to
strength when he was SO weak he
couldn't keep any other food on his
stomach" Name given by Postum
Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
All children can be built to more
sturdy and healthy condition upon
Grape-Nuts and cream. The food
contains the elements nature de-
mands, from which to make the soft
gray filing in the nerve centers and
brain. A well fed brain and strong.
sturdy nerves absolutely insure a
healthy body.

tinuing until Monday. The telegram
details the precautions taken to
checkmate the Japanese flankers.
Kuropatkin estimates his losses up
to and including September 4th at
10000. This is considered to be very
conservative figure. The losses to the
Japanese probably double this num-
ber, owing to their positions as at
tackers.
kuropatkin says nothing regarding
the loss of guns, but it is probable that
some of the heavier emplaced guns at
Lao Yang had to be abandoned.
There is no truth either in the re
port that Kuropatkin has been
wounded or that Lieutenant General
Linevitch is moving to his support.
