WALL or WOMEN
Dutch Soldiers, Says Colonel, Could
Not Help Shooting Them.

An interesting explanation Of the killing OF large
numbers OF women and children In the recent fight
ing between the Dutch expeditions and the natives
IN North Sumatra is given BY Colonel H. F c.
van Bylevelt, a retired officer OF the Dutch East
indian army who has Just arrived here Colonel
van Bylevet has had thirty years OF active service
IN the Dutch East Indies. and comes 10 America TO
place his In college.
In the first place" he said yesterday. these
fights did not occur at Atjeh. or Achin. it Is
usually called IN English. but small expedition of
about hundred men. under Lieutenant Colonel
van Daalen was sent TO Gatoe and the Alas lands
parts OF North Sumatra but not belonging to
Achin. The Alas natives well armed, but their
rifles 60 not carry so far those OF our troops
and IN order TO overcome this disadvantage their
leaders. being well aware Of the ds!uclination OF
our men 10 harm women and children. placed them
in front OF their fighting line as a living screen
The women and children sometimes armed. and
have often fred at our troops. Sheltered BY this
screen. the natives often allow our men 20 ap-
proach within point blank range OF their positions.
Then they discharge overwhelming fire. In
almost al engagements they have followed the
same tactics. though repeatedly warned by our
officers. AS rule. troops withhold their fire

natives from behind their living wall. and are often

van Byevet that our expeditions have nearly

small forces and bring about the failure Of the
whole expedition, which Is undertaken for the
purpose OF bringing about better condition OF the
natives at large. who too often, misled by de-
signing ringIeaders. Colonel van Daalen's eX-
petition IS accompanied by native guides and by

''Regrettable as II is. experience has shown that
IL is utterly impossible to induce the natives 70

A REPUTATION.
How 1t was Made and Retained
In Salt Lake City.

A good reputation is not easily
earned, and it was only by kard, con-
sistent work among our citizens that
Doan's Kidney Pills won their way to
the proud distinction attained in this
locality. The public endorsement OF
scores of Salt Lake City residents has
rendered invaluable service to the COM
munity. Read what this citizen says:
J. p. Ketchum, foreman on the r. G..
r. r., residence 372H South Main ST..
says: starting with a tired out feel
ing just across the loins, tie symptoms
gradually developed until it became a
regular thing to have backache. The
constant shaking, jolting and Earring
of the train aggravated the complaint
and with the passing Of time it grew
worse and | was compelled to look for
something TO bring relief. An adver-
tisement about Doan's Kidney Pills at
tracted my attention just then and
went to the +. ]. Hill Drug Co.'S store
for a box. The treatment gradually
lessened tie aching until it disappeared.
This should be of considerable value 10
those who suffer in Salt Lake City
from backache.'

RUSSIAN ADVANCE CHECKED.

he RUSSIAN ADVANCE against
L Oyama seems 10 have been sharp
~ checked. The dispatches Of yester-
day indicated, in fact, a crushing defeat
for Kuropatkin. The only question
seemed to be as TO whether or not
Oyama would be able to follow up his
temporary advantage. II he can do
this, it is said, the result VIII be the
arnihilation of Kuropatkin or the dis
persal or capture OF what remains Of
his army.
Messages from the front show that
the fighting in this engagement, which
will probably go down in history as
the battle of AIukden. was more terrific
than in the battle Of Lao Yang. And
Lao Yang was so bloody as to cause
the world to shudder. Both sides have
suffered almost incredible losses. Whole
battalions, regiments, even brigades,
have been wiped out on both sides, and
still the struggle continues.
It looks from this distance as if
Kuropatkin had determined to stake
everything on the issue OF the. engage
ment. He will be satisfied with moth
ing less than unchallenged victory or
overwhelming defeat. 1t does not seem
that any middle ground is possible
The japanese are also determined TO
win decisively. They are going TO die.
IL they must, lighting. Thousands Of
widows and orphans have been made
around Mukden during the last four
days, thousands more win be made be-
fore the lighting is over.
He'll is poor word TO use in coDnec-
ton with modern war. One can hardly
imagine hell that contains half the
suffering and hardship and bloodshed
since the opening Of the Russo-Japan-
csc conflict.

SOME RAILROAD FIGURES.

He LAST ANNUAL REPORT of the
interstate commerce commission,
just off the press, contains a mass of
interesting statistics relative 10 rail-
road property i'm the United States.
Nearly 300 new locomotives were put
in service during the year covered by
the report and the total is now 49.S71.
As the locomotive costs an average of
900 it viii be seen that if the loco
motives Of the country are now worth
$4,000 each the railroads have $4S9,-
900, 900 tied up in that sort Of rolling
stock.
An expert points out that this fact
alone must for long time bar the
substitution of electricity for steam as
motive power. The railroads would
be very reluctant to consign so much
property to the scrap iron pile, for that
is what the substitution of electricity
for steam would mean. Besides, it
would take a great many years to bring
about the change, even if the railroads
We're willing TO make it.
Some figures showing the increase Of
railroad traffic as shown by the in
crease in the number of engines Will
be interesting. The commission tells
us that Of the total number of loco
motives 1850 are passenger, an increase
Of 259; 25.444 are freight, an increase of
1S00, and 1858 are switching, an in
crease Of 375, while 799 are unclassified.
1t requires PA locomotives per 1000
miles Of railroad to do the work where
200 were used the year previous. 1t
is also shown that the combined tract
i've power of the locomotives I'm service
is about 950. 000 600 pounds. The greater
travel OF the year is indicated by the
Sact that each locomotive drew an av-
ersge of 65,742 people, an increase of
., 70 .of N3S- per cent. but the passen-
ger miles MADE by the passenger loco
motives incr ased only 1853 per cent.
Local traveIKit appears from the per-
centages, has Increased more rapidly
than travel ovyf long distances. And il
is probable than Gravel over the rapidly
increasing subj ban electric lines took
away much loJal business from the
railroads. The Eeight business shows
different CONDITIONS, however. The
number Of ton Gniles increased by q
fraction more Gan two per cent.
This indicates that the small manu-
facturer is being crowded out Of his
home market. The increase in the num-
Der OF ton miles shows that the great
factories are sending their products in
10 wider areas, into territory formerly
covered By the small manufacturers.
Here we have another Illustration Of
the beauties OF our trust system.
