In this saloon there are no back

get at any other saloon.
Eight out of ten saloons are dis

beer that is pure and that will not hurt
any more than soda water If a man
has to have whiskey, he does not get
the mixture that most saloons sell from
rehlled bottles. We are selling what
the saloons call private stock at Ia

Yesterdays battle was the most i'm
portant which Kurola's army has
fought since crossing the Yalu. Many
more Russians were engaged than in
any former battle. They occupied an
equally strong position. had much
more artillery and were better ac-
quainted with the country, having a
long time occupied the area over
which the japanese maneuvered. The
Japanese victory on this occasion II
not more important than that on the
Yalu, was won against greater odds
and consequently was better test
Of the mettle Of their troops and more
creditable to their yalor. The re-
suit was the Japanese gained ten
miles or more on their advance .to-
wards Lao Yang. It Is impossible 70

ing the engagements and reports o..
losses on the Japanese side were not
rendered this morning.
The spectacular feature of the day
was the advance Of the Japanese in.

occupation of all the Russian positions
and their infantry entrenchments in
