Mukaen Sept. DelayeD -Ev-
erythlng is quiet here. The Japanese
have retired southwark and it is even
reported that they have evacuated
Yentai. The belief prevails here that
the lull will continue for several weeks.
According to Chinese advices the
evacuation of Lao Yang by the Japa-
nese has been forced owing to the
fearful stencil arising from the dead
bodies. The Japanese were today
"wednesday fortifying the approaches
by way of the river. For this purpose
the Japanese have already taken 100
large barges with which they intend
to ascend as far as Tie pass. 1t is
stated the Japanese are carefully pre-
pairing their turning and thanking
movements. and will not engage in an
other big battle before the occupation
of Tie pass These preparations are
expected to occupy a month.
Small detachments of Japanese have
moved northward from the Taitse riv-
er and preparations for the advance
are evidently still continuing, although
the second stage of the Japanese
movement has not yet been completed
by any means. The first was north
as If for a turning movement. But
Kuroki is now going east, while to the
westward preparations are being made
to send large force up the Lao river

No Frost at Aberdeen.

Aberdeen, s. d.. Sept. flowing t.
the prevalence of high wind and a
cloudy sky Aberdeen and Brown coun-
ty escaped the heavy frost which Wis
tied a large section of South Dakota on
Tuesday night. In some other parts
of the state the damage was severe,
according to reports received in this
city. At Eureka and most points be-
tween Aberdeen and the Missouri riv-
er the damage is reported to have been
heavy. The frost at Glendale N. D.,
is reported light, while Cakes suffered
severely. At Bristol the frost was also
heavy, as was the case at WatertoWn
and Mitchell. The damage to the corn
crop in the regions visited by the frost
is hard to estimate yet; in many Sec
tons the corn was safely out of the
way, while in others it needed a week
CT more of warm weather yet.

MRS. CROSS WON.
Emporia Woman Cattle Breeder Wins
Honors at Kansas City.

Kansas City, Oct. 22--Mrs. Kate Will
der Cross of Emporia, Kan, the only
woman exhibitor OF cattle at the
American Royal Live Stock show at the
stock yards, easily led the list of win
ners in the fat stock classes this morn
ing Mrs. Cross captured three first
prizes on pure bred fat Herefords, cas-
lily defeating Overton, Harris, Gudgell
and Simpson and other well known
breeders of white face cattle.
The fat stock classes were the feature
of the morning and while the judges
were placing the individuals, a large
crowd gathered around and watched
this part of the show with much in
terest. Mrs. Cross was a member of
the group Of breeders who followed the
judges in these classes and she seemed
much pleased when her entries were
awarded the blue ribbons. The fat stock
owned by her which won first prizes
in the show ring this morning were the
same animals which carried off honors
at the Worlds fair and the decision of
the judges at the Kansas City show
gives added prestige to her cattle.
LydoS, a sleek looking steer, was the
first animal to win for Mrs. Cross. This
was in the class for fat steers, spayed
or Martin heifers, 1 year old and under
2.
had to be content with second place.
Mrs. Cross again won over the Harris
entry in the next class for steers under
year old. Progress, her entry, proved
superior in the minds of the judges to
all others, and Snowfall. another steer
from the same farm, was given third
place in the same event.
When the judges reached the grade
Hereford classes Mrs. Cross again took
first money. Billy, her entry, in the
competition between steers 1 year old
and under 2, beat the entry of G. A.
Booker, Lection. Mo, and Good Stuff,

ANTI CURTIS MEETING.
Republicans in First District Plan to
Hold One.

n dispatch from Leavenworth states
that a move is on foot among the anti
Curtis Republican editors of the First
district to hold a big anti-Curtis Re
publican mass meeting between now
and election, possibly on October %.
The place has not been decided upon,
but it will probably be at Hiawatha or
Atchison.
1t is the idea to make it strictly a
Republican meeting, with speakers
from each county. Among those in
contemplation are the following;
Atchison-A. ]. White.
Brown-Capt. John Schilling, ex-
state senator.
Doniphan-Cyrus Leland.
Jackson - EX-CongreSsman Case
Broderick.
Jefferson-Former State Senator
Matt Edmonds.
Leavenworth-D. r. Anthony, jr.
acknowledgements w. ]. Bailey.
Shawnee-S. J. Bear.
There will be other speakers besides
these in all proba bility.
The LeayenWorth Times gives the
following polls on congressman in the
First district which it says have been
recently made:
a poll of Potter shows votes for
Curtis with 60 against him.
The poll of another First district
precinct shows II votes for Curtis and
1S1 for Harvey.
A poll of Huron precinct shows 10
votes for Harvey and IA for his OPP
ponent.
OF the 500 population at McLouth
there are but two voters on the town
site who have expressed themselves as
favorable to Curtis.

writing a personal letter in the matter,
could he not in two months discover
who "A. r. Brown" is? The fact that
he has not done so warrants the belief
that "A. r. Brown" is none other than
T. T. Kelly or some one acting for
Kelly.
KeIly's tactics are familiar-lament-
ably so. The county commissioners of
Miami county first discovered a small
amount of Kelly's shortages in that
county a few weeks before the RepUb-
1ican state convention of 1902. Kelly
made the same plea then that he does
now. He demanded a thorough ex-
animation and put up a thousand dol
lars to cover any shortages that
might be- found. Up to that time
two of the county commissioners had
been his friends and he depended upon
them to pull him through. The scheme
worked and the Republican state con-
vention nominated Kelly. Afterwards
the commissioners unanimously re-
ported that Kelly had robbed Miami
county of over $1,000, and he paid it
all back. He is the greatest of back
pay artists. He then told the people
that the Miami county findings against
him were caused by political fight
and that as soon as the campaign
was over he would ego after" his de-
tractors and sue the newspapers for
libel.

''It is just forty years ago today

a long time for government to full
fill its contract, and it is not yet full
filed. The Republican party for the
most of the time has been in full con-

rendered proper consideration for the
important and dangerous service. For
forty years the Republican party has
been profuse in its professions of love
for the old soldier. and it has had the
Ioyal support of the veteran voters.
Our congressional representa- tives have
