KUROPATK|N
Gives Up Hope Of Head
ing Japs

Rome, Sept. "a dispatch received
from what is regarded as a reputable
source at New Chwang states that
General Kuropatkin has given up all
hope Of stemming the Japanese ad-
vance in the vicinity OF Liao Yang
According to these advices from
New Chwang, General Kuropatkin
made this statement to his staff He
called then in council and stated that
he had obtained his object in moving
to the northward and thus delaying the
Japanese attack upon his position. He
said, it is reported that 1t was now
Indispensable that the army reach Muk-
den and that accordingly an orderly
but quick retreat to the north was in
order.
This was to be attained, 1t Is re.
ported that General Kuropatkin cont:n-
ued, no matter what the cost to the
Russian forces from the opposition to
their retreat by the Japanese.
Even If we sacrifice half the Rus
sian army" General Kuropatkin said
to his staff, according TO the account
received here, "Mukden must be reach
ed; yes, even If we have to cut our
way through the enemy"
The report from New Chwang adds
that, if this information relative to
Kuropatkin's plans be correct,
he has evidently decided to substitute
a sortie for the expected decisive bat
tie north of Lao Yang. His advan.
tage is believed to lie in the fact that
the Japanese have not yet been able
to throw their entire strength across
the Taitse river and that the attempt
to rush their positions and reach Muk-
den is likely to be attained with sue
cess.

GETTING READY
For the Opening of the
Bible Institute.

On Thursday a number of the loyal
supporters of the Bible Institute and
Canton college met to spend the day in
preparing the new building for the re-
ception of students on September 18th.
Some came with teams, some with the
shovel and hoe, others brought material
for sewing, and all brought well filed
baskets of tempting food and hearts full
of interest in the work From base
ment to garret the work was carried on.
The sedate professor, the prospective
student, the busy farmer and his fru-
gal wife and host of others laid aside
all formality and became absorbed in
the work.
The new dining hall received its
initiation and if the inviting dinner and
the keen appetites of those who sur
rounded the festal board are to be an
index of the future great things are
predicted for this department. The
day closed with songs, quotations, and
prayer by Prof. Moherman
Prof. and Mrs. Young, who have
been so faithful in their efforts to es-
tablish the institution, desire to thank
all who came to their assi"tance, es-
pecially Mrs. Weaver, who was so un-
firing in her efforts to prepare and 20
assist in furnishing the tempting meals
and the Ladies Aid society who were
so faithful in their efforts to assist in
the work.
The results of the day were very graf
flying and clearly show the attitude of
the people toward the institution. The
pleasant associations of the day will
ever be source of pleasure to all who
were present.

Thrush In Horses.

In nine cases out of ten when thrush
occurs it is due to the horse standing
in filth, so that the prevention of the
trouble is plain to be seen. Investiga-
ton Will prove that the majority of
the horses afflicted with thrush are
heavily fed and given little exercise,
and, as stated, stand in filth. While
there are many honest differences OF
opinion as to what material constitutes
the best floor for q horse, it is certain
that the floor must be kept reasonably
clean or the animal will contract dis
ease OF some kind. The best traat-
mcnt for thrush is to cleanse the foot
thoroughly, soaking it we'll in water as
hot rs the horse will stand. If neceS-
sary, and then place calomel in all the
creviccs of the frog, covering it with

that there will be sort Of cushion for

is in the stall and not fit TO exercise Il

careful that the animal has sufficient
variety to keep the bowels in good

be given exercise it should be taken

Farmers who intend making oat hay
