A TEMPORARY CHECK
Gen. Kuropatkin In Severe Fight
with Japs Near Yentai.
OMAYA CAN UTILIZE BREASTWORKS


st. Petersburg, Oct. 12.-Severe fight
ing north Of Yentai, resulting in a
temporary check of Gen. Kuropatkin's
advance guard is not regarded at the
war office as indicating a general en-
gagement. The latest official dis.
patches indicating the disposition Of
the various crops show that the whole
army Is not yet in line of battle. The
present engagement may therefore be
regarded as the result of counter at
tack which an enterprising foe like
the Japanese might be expected to
make but without any calculation to
prevent the Russian advance. Gen.
kuropatkin's present superiority in
numbers, 1t Is held here, is bound
sooner or later to compel the Japanese
to fall back upon their strong positions
within the triangle formed by Yentai,
Lao Yang and Sykwantun Every
thing points to that district as being
the prospective scene of the decisive
struggle of this years campaign.
The general superiority of the jap
anese in mountain operations is con-
ceded. The Russian commander un-
doubtedly Is aware of the difficulties of
the task before him, has measured
them well and is confident of his abil-
ity to overcome them. If Gen. Kuro-
patkin possessed an army of 500 600

FOR THE COTTON GROWER.
tries TO Cut Loose From the
United states

Several recent reports of United
States consuls contain interesting
matter relative 10 the effort Of for.
eign countries to attain independence
OF the United States in regard to the
production OF cotton, From reports
of Mr.. Urban j. Ledoux, United
States consul at Prague, Austria,
dated December 2S, 1902, and January
?, 1904, the following is taken:
What is most to be feared by
American cotton planters is the sys-
tematic search for other sources Of
supply by the cotton manufacturers
Of the continent, aided by anxious stu
dents, experiments, and financial sup
port, if necessary, of the governments
Of Europe. England, the
greatest cotton manufacturing coun-
try in the world, is especially inter
ested in finding new sources of sup
ply. OF about 100, 900, 900 spindles in
the cotton industry of the world, about
$4,000, 900 are credited to England,
nearly half of the total. A very active
organization, the British Cotton Grow
ers' Association for the promotion
of the cotton produced in the
colonies, aided by the British colo
NAL office, has made serious investi-
cations on the possible culture of cot
ton in the various British possessions.
The result of the Investigations is said
to be encouraging. This Is particu-
larly SO for NIGERIA, the Gold Coasts,
Sierra Leone, and Gambia, besides
India and Egypt, producing 1000, 900
and 1,4O0, 900 bales respectively"
After speaking somewhat In detail
of the plan to increase the available
cotton acreage in Egypt and the Su-
dan. by which it is hoped that event
ually the cotton crop of those coun-
trie will attain in an average year
to about 1000, 000. 900 pounds, Mr.. Lee
doux continues as follows:
Seeds from the crop Of cotton
raised in Porto Rico, said to be the
finest ever imported in Liverpool. will
be distributed among the West Indian

Yorktown, Ark, March 7th-Dodd's
Kidney Pills must not be confounded with
the ordinary patent medicine. They are a
new discovery, a specific for all diseases
OF the Kidneys and have been accepted by
physicians only after careful tests in ex-
IRENE cases. DR.. Leland Williamson, Of
this place, heartily endorses Dodd's KID.

forms Of the diseases Of the Kidneys, pains
in the back, soreness in the region OF the
Kidneys, foul smelling urine and cloudy or
thIckened condition of the urine dis

the Kidneys and all kindred complaints. +"
Continuing, he says:
Il could mention many cases in which
i have prescribed Dcdd's Kidney Pills
with success. For instance, Mr.. Robert

which made him very nervous, had a little
