THE RUSSIANS THROWING LYDDITE.
Sixty Shells Tossed Into Japanese Camp Opposite
Man1on Hi11--Jap Reinforcements.

Mukden, Nov 12.-During the bonn
bardment last night the Russians
threw sixty large lyddite shells into
the Japanese camp opposite Manlon
Hill. The Japanese, who during the
previous cannonading seemed to have
successfully used a searchlight direct
ed against the Russian position for
the purpose Of covering their opera
lions at night in the extension of their
field work in the region Of the railway,
did not reply last night when the Rus
slams attacked them further to the
east. The Japanese are notably eco
nomical in the use of ammunition as
though anticipating an early battle,
when great quantities will be neces-
sary.
1t is known that the Japanese have
placed guns of large caliber in the vi
cinity of the Shakhe Railway station
bringing Schiatun, the next station
to the north, within range of their
fire.
The great precautions taken by the
Russians, their continued vigilance
and the disposition of their forces
would seem to guarantee their army
against any repetition of disasters Of
enormous magnitude.
The Russian army is celebrating
the distribution of presents Of food
clothing and confectionery sent by
the Empress to the officers and men

army. which is in better spirits, APP
pears to be much more formidable
and homogeneous. The soldiers are
active in collecting and storing all
the crops left by the Chinese in the
fields, which they are conserving for
use both as food and fuel.
The demolition of Inc Chinese
houses appears to continue only along
the firing line where their destruction
is rendered necessary for strategic
purposes.
Reports of grave conditions of the
besieged at Port Arthur have reach
ed Mukden, and as a consequence the
Russians will not be surprised to
learn of the capitulation of the fort
ress. The course taken by the gov
ernmnet of Great Britain in the North
Sea incident is now generally known
here and appears to be regarded as
highly magnanimous.
In the extreme east the Japanese
appear to have not advanced north OF
Siamachl and to have concentrated
their forces in the center
The prevailing conviction is that
the reinforcements received by the
Japanese have been much larger than
reported and consequently it is ex-
pected they will attack.

SUFFERING
THIS YOUNG WOMAN APPEALED IN

Mrs. Emma Heidebreder, Of No. 1928

An Honest opinion.

Mineral, Idaho, Nov. 14th.-tspe-
clal.)--That sure cure has been
discovered for those sciatic pains that
make SO many lives miserable, is the
firm opinion Of Mr.. D. s. Colson, a
well known resident Of this place,
and he does not hesitate to say that
cure is Dodd's Kidney Pills. The
reason Mr.. Colson Is so firm in his
opinion is that he had those terrible
pains and is cured. Speaking of the
matter he says:
Il am only too happy to say Dodd's
Kidney Pills have done me lots of
good. l had awful pains In my hip
so could hardly walk Dodd's Kid
ney Pills stopped 1t entirely. l think
they are grand medicine"
All sciatic and Rheumatic pains are
caused by Uric Acid in the blood.
Dodd's Kidney Pills make healthy
Kidneys, and healthy Kidneys strain
all the Uric Acid out Of the blood.
With the cause removed there can be
no Rheumatism or sciatica.

DIED IN HIS CELL.
A Man Arrested on Serious Charges
Dies Of Fright.

A Man Arrested on Serious Charges
Dies of Fright.
New York; Frederick Eve, young
tradesman who has always borne
good reputation until ne was arrested
ten days ago on charges made by two
little girls, died in a cell in the Jer-
sey City jail Friday. 1t is believed
here death was due to fright and con
slant worry as to what fate had in
store for him.
Eve was one of the fourteen Hud-
son county men arrested on serious
charges preferred ~ little girls and
his death-adds another dramatic link
to the cases, which have stirred Hdd-
son county. Already many regulations
in Jersey City and Hoboken have been
shattered and two Of the accused
have tried to commit suicide.
Since his confinement in the jail
Eve had continually protested his
innocence of the charges against him.
Fear of conviction, however, preyed
upon him constantly. He frequently
awoke with startled screams and told
the keepers of terrible dreams in
which the faces of his accusers APP
peared. Friday when the cell was en-
tered Ewes body was lying on the
floor. His face was distorted with
fear and the doctors said death prob
ably came as result of the frightful
dreams which had haunted him.

Missionary in Pekln Writes of Alarm

Beloit, Wis: Sensational in the
extreme are the reports sent from
Pekin by Charles F. Cannon of the
American Bible Society of another
threatening Boxer uprising in China.
Mr.. Cannon says that a second Box

this movement, for which it is sup

as follows:

Dates have been set for the slaughter

quarter Of 10 being 2ls which Is not an
integral number. He claimed that 1t is
more natural to count In dozens than

counting upon the fingers Is the rule,
IL passed. Spencer was thoroughly
convinced Of the soundness Of his views
in this regard, and hoped tat II a
