As Result Hunters Wife and Son and
Neighbours Child Are Shot.

Pueblo, Colo, Aug. 26-Mrs. Cal.
Spencer of 913 West Thirteenth street
was wounded and her 7-year-old son
and child living near the Spencers
hurt by the accidental discharge of a
shotgun.
Mr.. Spencer had been hunting and
was returning home. His wife and lit
tie boy saw him in the distance and
went to the gate to meet him. He stop
ped in front of the house and took from
the buggy the gun which he had been
carrying. Then NE started to take the
other things from his buggy.
A dog stepped on the gun trigger and
discharged the weapon. 1t was loaded
with bucksnot. Mrs. Spencer received
several of the shot in the abdomen, and
the little boy was shot in the arms and
legs. The other child was grazed by
bullets.
While the condition of Mrs. Spencer
and her son is serious it is not thought
that they are fatally injured.

JAPANESE ADVANCE.
Fighting i'm the North Resumed After
Four Weeks Quiet.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 26.-2:15 p. m.
After four weeks interval the jap
anese have resumed their advance
against General Kuropatkin's- posi-
lions. The opposing armies are in
contact east and south of Lao Yang,
and fighting has been in progress
since Wednesday. The advices at
hand are too meager to enable the
to whether it will result in a general
engagement, but the extent and char
acter of the Japanese movement leads
to that conclusion Since the rains
ceased a week ago there have been
continued limitations that General
Kuropatkin was about to assume the
offensive. but instead of that it was
the Japanese who attacked the Rus
ern positions. Japanese column,
10000 strong, was reported on Tues
day to be marching up the right bank
of the Lianhe river. which would
seem to indicate that three Japanese
armies are cooperating in enveloping
three sides of Lao Yang. From the
meager accounts it appears that Gen
eraI Kuroki selected Tantziapudz as
the point for his attempt to drive the
wedge into Kuropatkin's outer de-
lenses at An Ping and Liandiansian,
which are situated respectively ten
miles northwest and southwest of
Tantziapudzy, the latter being on the
Lianhe river, eight miles above the
a mountain ridge runs westward. The
fact that the Japanese are preparing
pontoons at the Taitze river was noted
in these dispatches several days ago.
The capture of this bridge will be the
first object of the Japanese and
doubtless will entail severe fighting in
which the Japanese are probably
counting on the superiority of their
mountain guns. If they are. success
full the Russian positions at Anping
and Liandiansian will become pre-
carious.
Their operations on Anping are
supported from Gutziatzy, three miles
higher up the Lianhe river, and along
the Taitze river, as shown in the dis
patch reporting that the Russian
front was south of the Taitze river
and that General Kuroki was stimuli
taneously moving on Liandiansian
along the high road as reported from
Lao Yang last night and by the fact
that another Japanese column is NOV
ing on Liandiansian along the south
road from Siaolindzy, ten miles north
east of Hal Cheng. That General
Kuropatkin had foreseen these vari-
Gus moves is shown by the manner in
which the attack on Tanzapu was met
and by the repulse of the Japanese at
Siaolinrzy.
The Baltic fleet, which sailed from
Cronstadt last night on trial cruise,
consisted of twenty warships.
The emperor leaves here tomorrow
for the Don to bid farewell to de-
Darting troops.

False Report Corrected.

Russians Hear of Japanese RepuIses.
st. Petersburg. Aug. 26, 4:45 p. m.
The advices of the war office from the
front are very meagre. In fact they
are confined to a report dated August
of the Japanese column of 10000
men along the main road towards
Lao Yang which began at daybreak
August "a. The Japanese drove in
the Russian outposts and when the
column reached a point a couple of
miles west of Liandainsian the Japa-
nese attempted to install batteries but
they met with such a hot fire that
they only succeeded in placing one
battery, which was soon compelled to
change its position. At the moment
of sending the dispatch the japanese
had suspended operations. The war
Office has no news of the reported at
tack on Anshanshan, and the general
staff is by no means satisfied that the
eastern movement of the japanese is
more than a feint. General Ivanoff
is in command of the late General
Keller'S corps at Liandiansian.
The war Office was much eIated to-
day at the receipt of a dispatch from
Lieutenant General Stoessel, dated
from Port Arthur, August %, report
ing that the Japanese had at last
been exhausted by their attacks and
that the bombardment had been sus-
pended. Full details regarding the
dispatch are not available, but it prob
ably refers to the Chefoo dispatch of
yesterday announcing the repulse of
the Japanese with heavy losses in
their attacks upon fort No. and Fort
Etselshan.

PLACES ARE ALL TAKEN.
There Are No Positions Going Begging
in Topeka.

Naturally with the advent of the
colder weather, lots of men are look
ing for jobs for the winter. But the
city employment bureau can offer
nothing in the way or work in the
city of Topeka. Farm hands, brick
makers. and manual Iaborers are in
great demand at the bureau. Not
enough of these can pe obtained to
even begin to supply the demand.
Few of those, however, who look
for work at the city office, will take
such jobs, or even consider them.
They want to winter IN the city. A
good many of the appucants are mar
RED men with families here. They
have had out-of-door work during the
summer on all kinds of construction
labor, and since the Indictment weather
Will shortly put an end to that, they
have to have labor to earn their bread
and butter, but they do not want to
go outside of the city to get it.
But there is out-of-town work of
almost every character to be had. Yet
not one in ten who comes to the bu-
reau and applies for a job will for a
moment consider such a place. They
declare that they want work in the
city or none at all.
There are also a good number of
places fer cooks and house-girls.
These are however always to be found
on the books. The supply never does
meet the demand on this score. Hired
girls as they are commonly denor1i-
mated, never were a drug on the mar

est fight of his career, but at that time
Jeffries was far from being in good
condition. Still he gave the sailor such
beating that it practically retired
him from the game.
Sharkey left the ring on the occa-
sion of that fight with several ribs
broken, his eyes closed and his nose
in such shape that it took months to
get it untangled from his ears. He
was a physical wreck, and every time
since that memorable battle he has
been easy money for men who once
feared him as Jeffries is feared at
present.
At one time Jeffries was classed as
the smuggling fighter, but this reputa-
ton does not do him Justice He be-
longs to the scinetific class He is
probably the best defensive fighter in
the business, and even with his pom
derous bulk he is not unduly agrees

the battle to Jeffries with a ven

he will see his finish in a hurry. He
will be framing up exactly to suit the

1t may seem, there is no other chance
for him to take down the money &C

record shows for itself. In his battles
he has neither demonstrated that he
can box or that he is the possessor of
wonderful punch. He has won his
few fights by wearing down his op-
ponents-
There is only one way to figure the
outcome of the bout. If Jeffries is as
good as he was in any of his recent
battles he looks like a legitimate to

TO PROMOTE MARRIAGES.
Country Editor and Parson Agree to

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Aug. 26.-As an
incentive to matrimony the pastor OF
the local church of the village of Dali

las Post, have entered into an agree
ment by which marriages among the
young people viii be encouraged. The
following appears in this weeks issue
of the Post:
Here is a chance that will help
you to get the Post a year free. A
good brother duly authorized to say
the words that will unite for life, or
until the divorce court cuts the bonds,
says he will divvy up with us the
fees he receives from all couples we
send to him to marry. Now we will
give a years subscription to each

EDNA CRANE is DEAD.
Former Topeka Girl Passes Away In
Arizona

Mrs. Charles L. Mitchell, formerly
Miss Edna Crane, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. George W. Crane of this
city, died at Morenci, Arizona, at the
age of ~, on Thursday, August rs,
from comDlicatio arising from ty-
phoid fever. The body will be brought
to Topeka Announcement of the fu-
neral will be made later.
Her death was particularly sad
from the fact that after much solicit
tation on the part of her father, Mr..
Mitchell had decided to remove to To-
peka to assist in the management of
Crane & Co.'S business, and had given
up a lucrative and responsible posi-
ton with the Detroit Copper Mining
company They had sold their home
and shipped their household goods,
and were to have left Morenci the day
following the one on which she was
taken sick.
Mrs Mitchell was born in Topeka,
December 10, 1876. She was a gradu-
ate of Bethany college. In 1894 she
was awarded the Bishop Vail Medal
at that institution for the highest
standing in scholarship and deport-
ment for the year. She was a gen
eraI favorite and was OF an unusually
even and CHEEKY disposition.

BEES STOP FUNERAL.
Swarm Out of Pulpit and Put Mourn.
ers to Flight.

F1emingsburg, KY, Aug. 26.-While a
funeral service was in progress in the
Vernon church.. near Plummer'S land
ing, a swarm of humble bees which had
nestled under the pulpit was disturbed
and, emerging from it's quarters, caused
a panic among the Ipourners.
The officiating minister and friends
hastily retreated from the sanctuary
and were closely followed by the pail
bearers with the casket. warding off the
bees as best they could in their flight.
A number of the mourners and two
pallbearers are reported to have been
badly stung. However, they remained
until the funeral service had been con-
cluded in the church yard.
The exact location of the nest cannot
be determined until the pulpit is torn
away. The congregation dislikes to tin
ker with 1t at TING time, the eve of a
protracted religious meeting. Unless the
bees remain under cover the meeting
will probably be held in a grove.
