KINIRY TAIKATIvE.

Kiniry was willing enough TO talk to-
day. He rather indicated a weakness
TO shine a bit under the limelight. His
interviewers had no difficulty in gain
ing much information from the prisoner
up TO the point OF actual part in the
Duel that ended Policeman Smiths life.
There Kiniry halted. Voluble and a bit
boastful was he about his burglaries
snd the battle Of pistols at Los An
geles that ended in his capture. All of
that he told and retold. as he had done
many times during his stay in the
southern city after his arrest there.
But il had become an old story and the
recital opened no new lines Of sugges-
tion.
Kiniry is 22 years old and a native
OF Montreal, Canada His mother re-
sides in the East. Much of his life
was spent in St Louis. Mo-. but If his
story be true he has been a thief and
burglar since he was 15 years old. His
associations have not been with
criminals. Young Mems Christian
Associations have appealed TO him and

neither uses tobacco in any form nor
does he use intoxicants. He is a
crank" on physical exercise His
practice for years has been to take a
regular daily course in bicycling, ten
mis- or walking, with constant pistol
practice. He lives plainly and eschews
all tendency toward high living"
This anomalous criminal has been able
to keep his mind clear, to work with
ready wit and strong muscle at his
murderous calling.
Now that the man is here, ready for
the process of the courts, the police
and Prosecuting Attorney A. P. Leach
have commenced to get their evidence
In shape. They have a mass of cir
.cumstances which they are very hope
full can be worked into a perfectly
linked chain of proof to convict.
Much of the case rests upon Kiniry's
admissions, coupled with Policeman
Smiths dying statements. One i'm
portant item is the possession by the
police of two bicycles. which they ex-
pect to prove were purchased by
Kiniry and Goldstein. his companion,
who was killed by Smith. These BIZ
cycles were found near the scene of
the shooting.
Chief Hodgkins has had much talk
with Kiniry, but AYERS that the
prisoner has made no admissions ex-
cept as to- his earlier relations with
Z Goldstein.
Chief of. Police William T. Stanford

WAR DISPATCHES SUMMARIZED.

While the battle of Shakhe river has
undoubtedly resulted in a japanese
victory the days dispatches Indicate
that Kuropatkin's defeat was far from
being as crushing as the news of Sat
urday and Sunday presaged. His
offensive movements failed utterly,
but 1t is apparent that even in his re-
treat he is battling stubbornly and in
filcting severe losses on the Japanese,
While himself sustaining casualties
that are described as appalling
At several critical points along the
extended line Of battle the Russians
have launched attack after attack at
the Japanese and in some instances
succeeded in driving them out and re-
covering their positions In one such
attack they captured eleven guns.
These, however, are apparently iso-
lated successes in what is otherwise a
general defeat.
An official report to st. Petersburg
says that cannonading was reopened
along the entire front during the
morning.
No official advices have been re-
ceived from Japanese sources, but
dispatch from Toxic, based on "reli-
able private sources says the Japa-
nese continue their advance and that
Oku is now operating to block the
Russian retreat along the railroad.

What g. terrible thing cancer is!
Just think of having a live, eating
sore on you, that is part of you, stri-
king it's roots deep into your flesh and
eating away day and night like the
cankerworn that lays at the root of
the tree and gnaws away until the
leaves wither and fall, the branches
decay and the tree is dead; SO cancer
is the fell destroyer of the human
race, more to be dreaded than con-
sumption, for the pain Of cancer is
often more than any human can bear.
Such awful suffering! This great
Egyptian scourge has found a domi-
cile In our midst and 1t has thrived
and fattehed here ever since America
was discovered. The ancients eonsid-
cred it so highly contagious and in
fectious that all sufferers with cancer
were put to death, their bodies, raj
ment and belongings burned. They
knew no cure. Indeed, science has
wrestled with cancer from the begin
ming of time. The great chemists of
this country and Europe have ex-
hausted all known drugs in failure
to discover a cure. The surgeon in
school is taught to cut and burn it
out. There all Knowledge stops. 1t
was left to Specialist O'Keefe alone
to discover a cure and he has it, and
that without knife or plaster. The
greatest wonder of this age. He has
cured hundreds, and his private home
for patients is crowded all the time
with patients from every part of the
United States and Canada, all seeking
his aid He can refer you to his
