CAN DRINK TROUBLE.
That's one way to get it.

Although they won't admit it many
people who suffer from sick headaches
and other ails get them straight from
the coffee they drink and it is easily
proved if they'e not afraid to leave il

headaches for twenty-five years and
anyone who has ever had a bad sick
headache knows what | suffered.

New Form of Entertainment.

At luncheon a short time ago a
new form of entertainment was pro-
vided by the guests themselves. The
hostess asked each one to come in
some way representing her fad; then
the guests were supplied with pencils
and cards and the one who guessed
the greatest number of hobbies sug-
gested received a prize. One girl,
who wished to show that she was
fond of music, had fastened to her
dress picture of a crying kitten with
bandaged head-mieu-sick.

JeIlied Salmon.

Those who are most interested in
the more substantial courses at the
table will be glad to try the jellied
salmon, which makes a most appetiz,
ing as well as a tasteful luncheon
dish, or o-e to be served at a Sunday
evening supper. 1t is easily made.
Soak one tablespoonful of gelatine
as usual, and mix it with a can of
salmon and three-quarters of a cup
OF salad dressing. Set it away to
harden. This is but one of many
similar dishes which any skilful cook
may devise.

letter carrier. Taken from the nest

a fish diet by the natives; and in the

tame that it can be liberated during

Great Admiration Expressed.

London, October 1S.-The greatest ad- miration is expressed by the London newspapers today for the tenacity dis played by General Kuropatlkin in protect- ing his retreat, but no where is any idea entertained that the Russians first de- cided success on the Shakhe river, can change the broad character of their de- feat, or have any effect beyond retarding slightly the eventual Japanese advance to Mukden, and probably to Harb.n, since the Japanese appear to be fully prepared for winter campaign.
 The question of intervention Is hardly discussed at all because 1t Is believed that the Russian government is not in any mood to accept it.
 The Standards correspondent with Gen. eral Kuroki telegraphing under date of October 15 says:
 ''kurok. as usual. has borne the brunt of the struggle and sustained majority of the casualties. We are now occupy ing the line of the Shakhe with outposts ear Mul<den. The Russians lost the ini- tiative on the second day of the battle when the Japanese repelled their infantry and assumed a vigorous offensive. For a time the situation at Benshu was ex- tremely critical, the Japanese being prac- tioally surrounded. Eventually, however. the Russian fled. leaving 1sG9 dead on the field.

Marion, Ind, October 17.-The fifth day of William J.

The itinerary included Lafayette, Lebanon Frankfort, Delhi, Lcganspcrt, Converse and Marion.
 At each of the stops Mir Bryan spose along lines followed during the previods days of his tour.
 Some of the sentences which character lzed the speech of MT. Bryan at Marion today were:
 You need not be afraid of Parker's sil- yer views"
 Those who voted for me ought to be the easiest to convince of the necessity of voting fer Parker. It was not for persona, reasons that you voted for me, but because you wanted improved con- ditions which have not come under re- publican rule "
 If you vote against Parker because he Is against free silver. you make silver the paramount issue, whereas imperialism Is now the chief question:

 Mukden, October 17.-Q0;3O a. m.)-The Russian forces at Il o'clock last night penetrated the Japanese center and It is reported captured eleven or thirteen guns and fifteen prisoners east of the railway. At another point during the day the Si- berian regiments took twenty-four guns.
 The Russian operations today have been quite successful. The Japs, after stubborn resistance were compelled to retire along their whole line, losing heavily. All the trenches carried by the Russians were filled with the Japanese dead. In one not very large trench there were counted 600 corpses of Japanese. In spite of their losses the Japanese were undaunted. They have brought up siege guns and have left no stone unturned to retain the mastery of the situation.

Attempt to Break Up Meeting.

Hinton, w. Va, October 17.-Eght speeches is the record of Democratic Vice Presidential Candidate Davis today. The principal meetings were at Charleston where the special train remained four hours; at Hinton and Ronceyert, the latter place being reached shortly after 9 o'clock. The speech making today de- volved upon Mir Davis, Senator Daniel, John McGraw, national committeeman for the state, and Wood Daley. MT.

 A fire in the governors mansion at Charleston, an aram for which was turned in as the meeting was in progress, created some disturbance at the meet ing at that place, especially as 1t was hastily rumored that it was trick to break up the meeting.

The ferocity of the fight ing has driven out of the minds of the soldiers all thought of personal safety and the troops, living in an atmosphere of sudden death, have lost all thought save to conquer. The losses on both sides have been enormous, but this Is forgot ten in the crowding of dreadful events upon each other. The fight still con tinues without intermission.
 The Chinese population of Mukden dis plays little alarm. Business in the streets and markets proceeds as usual Even children run about the business portion of the town. and all appear to be curiosly n- different to the great battle which is proceeding only a few miles away.
 The wounded from the fight from Tu- min pass state that some positions were under fire from both sides and 1t was impossible to move the wounded. It is alleged that Japanese searching parties working at night hailed the wounded and whenever reply was made in Russian bayonetted the sufferers. Some it is said, saved themselves by feigning death. The Russians removed about 300 wound- ed under fire from Japanese guns.

President Roosevelt has from the first stood ready to use his good offices to stop hostilites on a basis honorable to both belllgerents. but he is stopped from moving by the fact that 1t has been the unbroken rule of our government not to act until 1t is assured that both sides to controversy oI this kind are willing that we should act.
 There has been so far no open proposi- ton nor can it be truthfully said that even an indirect overture has come to Washington from St. Petersburg or To- kio, but it is believed that the signs point to an early move in that direction.
