HARVEST OF DEATH.
Attacks on Port Arthur Are Marked by
Terrible Slaughter.

Twelve thousand fresh japanese troops
have arrived to re-enforce Gen. Nogi
in his siege Of Port Arthur. A new bat
terry of field artillery has also been turn
ell on the city, according to official re-
ports received in st. Petersburg. Since
the last terrific assault in which the
japanese lost heavily, there has been an
ominous silence. Viceroy Alexieff, in a
message to the Gar, declares the food
supply of the garrison good, the defend
ers in excellent spirits, but that the wat
er supply is causing concern to the COM
manderS.
Terrible havoc is being wrought by
land mines. Both sides, under cover of
darkness, are undermining the fortifca-
lions. Quantities of shimose, the deadly
Japanese explosive, have killed many
Russians. The losses of the besiegers,
however, are terrible. Thousands of
dead bodies have impregnated the very
air with death. Due to this, the health
of the entire garrison is menaced.
Russians are following the develop
ments with bated breath. 1t is fully
recognized that the situation at Port Ar
thur is rapidly becoming desperate
When the moment arrives for the ships
to leave the harbOr the water question
will become doubly serious. as their con-
densers no longer will be available. and
supplies of munitions and coal, in spite
of denials, are running short
Dependency in st. Petersburg regard
ing the situation in Port Arthur is be-
coming more pronounced daily. Grounds
for this feeling of pessimism have been
added to in the past few days by the en-
tire absence of news from Gen. Stoessel,
Heretofore the Russian commander has
been able to get some word through by
means of vessels to Chefoo, but it is now
stated the japanese blockade is perfect
and all junks or other vessels coming out
of Port Arthur, or attempting to enter
the port. are sent to Dalny.

DAVIS LETTER is OUT.
Democratic Vice Presidential Cand1-
date on the Issues.

Henry G.. Davis letter of acceptance
of the Democratic nomination for Vice
President is brief, and the candidates
comments upon the issues of the CAM
paign have the conciseness and, in sew
eral instances, the abruptness OF mar
ginal notes.
He devotes a paragraph each to the
expenses of government. the army, Pana-
ma, imperialism, trusts, local self-goy-
eminent, arbitration, the civil service
and his running mate. Alton B. Parker.
To the subject of the tariff he gives three
paragraphs.
1.-THE times are propitious for the rein
statement of the Democratic party in
control Of the government" says Mr.. Da-
Wis by way Of introduction. ''Ehe pub
he mind Is being disillusioned of the pre-
tension of the Republican party, so long
and so arrogantly made, that the mate
rial prosperity Of the country depends
upon it's own ascendancy. Thoughtful
and patriotic people are becoming more
and more distrustful Of the heady and
personal element of the present admins
tration, and are more than willing to see
it replaced by one that better recognizes
constitutional and other lawful re-

wasteful extravaganza in the expenditure
of the money, drawn by taxation from
the industry of the people, shall cease,
and that economy and honesty in the
public service shall be again regarded as
virtues in the high places Of the govern
ment"
Haiing as the harbinger of new era
the inception Of the work of building the
isthmian canal, but deprecating the ac-
ton of the administration which 'infict-
ell a wound upon our national honor by
its disregard of the rights of a weaker
nation" the Democratic candidate for
Vice President closes his paragraph on
Panama thusly: "A gross offense against
a friendly republic which it was helpless
to resent"
Many 'lwarranted things, in the opin-
ion of Mr.. Davis, must be regarded as
the first fruits of imperialism, and show
how fast we are drifting toward absolut-
ism and centralized power.
Mr.. Davis declares that the tariff un-
| doubtedly is too high upon such articles
as the manufacturer is a bic to sell cheap
er abroad than at home. Relief from
present conditions, he says, can come
only through the success of the Demo-
cratic party. The trusts, it is declared,
have grown up under Republican rule,
| and 1t is asserted that some of them
are so conducted as to be pernicious and
| harmful to the general interests"

War News in Brief.

Port Arthur's fate is said to hinge on
a single fort that the Japs are trying to
capture.
The people of Japan plan sacrifices at
home to enable the nation to prosecute
long war.
Oyama's cavalry has entered the Pu
of Mukden.
The japanese have landed many
troops in Korea for an advance toward
Vladivostok.
Port Arthur's plight grows worse, the
city being absolutely cut off from tho
rest of the world.
Fresh troops are being added to the
Japanese garrison at Bentsiaputsze. now
the headquarters of the army.
Marshal Oyama is bending all his en-
ergies to a fanking move of vast pro-
portions around the east side of Muk-
den.
An observer of internal conditions in
the Russian Empire stated that the peo-
pie were generally contented and peaca-
full.
The Gar is reorSanizing mis- Manchu-
rian army and resolved to crush ,Janan-
csc with 100000 men, Kuropatkin being
chief commander no longer.
Ia Pass was taken by the Jananese
after a slight engagement. The island
ers are advancing on Telling along the
Lao river, according to a report from
Hardin.
At Mukden it is believed that the Tan.
anese will not make frontal attack
upon that city, but will seek to ENGAGE
the Russians north or northeast of there
The line of the japanese army at Muk-
den is sixty miles long, stretching from
a point near Fushun on the east 70 =
point just south of Mukden and near rho
Hun river on the west.
Major General Orloff. who was blamed
for the Russian defeat at Laoyang will

Tonnage continues to improve on the
east-bound lines.
Railways are pushing themselves into
every corner Of the globe.
Texas now stands first in the railroad
mileage of all the States in the Union.
At st. Louis last week fourteen ticket
brokers were arrested for dealing in non
transferable tickets.
The Russian government will spend
S11 100000 for immediate Improvements
on the Trans-Siberian railway.
1t has practically been agreed that the
passenger associations will continue
clergy permits for the year 1905.
Gov. Blanchard of Louisiana has ap-
proved the Darlington bill, recently passed
by the Legislature of that State enlarg-
ing the powers of the railroad commits
sion so as to give it control over joint
through rates on freight and express
matter.
The Western Pennsylvania and East
ern Ohio Railway Traffic Association has
refused TO grant the demand of bitunin-
Gus coal operators for reduction of 10
per cent in freight rates. The rates
have been reaffirmed for another season.
A peculiar condition in railroading ex-
lists in China, where the passenger re-
ceipts uniformly exceed those from
freight traffic. The reason for this most
unusual state of affairs is that the Chi
nese have not yet learned the superiority
of rail over water transportation for
merchandise As the Celcstials progress

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're not afraid to leave it
to test as in the case of a lady in
Connellsville.
Il had been a sufferer from sick
headaches for twenty-five years and
any one who has ever had a bad sick
headache knows what suffered. Some
times three days in the week I would
have to remain in bed, at other times
couldn't lie down the pain would be
so great. My life was a torture, and
If l went away from home for day
I always came back more dead than
alive.
Zone day I was telling a woman my
troubles and she told me she knew that
it was probably coffee caused it. She
said she had been cured by stopping
coffee and using Postum Food Coffee
and urged me to try this food drink.
That's how came to send out and
get some Postum and from that time
I've never been without it, for it suits
my taste and has entirely cured all Of
my old troubles. All I did was to
leave off the coffee and tea and drink
we'll made Postum in it's place. This
change has done me more good than
everything else put together.
''Our house was like drug store,
for my husband bought everything he
heard of to help me without doing any
good, but when began on the Postum
my headaches ceased and the other
troubles quickly disappeared I have
friend who had an experience just
like mine and Postum cured her Just
as it did me.
Postum not only cured the head
aches but my general health has been
improved and am much stronger than
before. | now enjoy delicious Postum
more than I ever did coffee" Name
given by Postum Co., Battle Creek,
Mich.
There's reason and it's worth
