INDIAN OUTBREAK.
Primitive Iowa Musquakies Jealous OF
Dog-eating Igorrotes.

Dog-eating Igorrotes.
1t has been reported to the interior
Department at Washington that no more
typical example of the primitive Indian
is to be found in this country than the
Musquakie tribe of some 400 men, Wom-
ell and children, who live right in the
center and heart OF Iowa, one of the
most advanced States in the Union. Just
at present the Musquakies are very much
wrought up and jealous over the motto
riety which has been given the lgorrote
tribes at the worlds fair on account of
their dog-eating habit.
The chief of the Musquakies claims
that the IgOrrotes are not the only say
ages that enjoy dog as tribal dish, that
the Musquakies have been pioneers IN
the habit for centuries and that the
American people have never rayed over
them.
With the Igorrote no female is permit
ted to partake of the dish, as it is a deli
cacy for warriors only, but when the
Musquakies have a feast on the reserva-
ton the women eat as much as do the
men. The Indians scarcely ever taste
Of beef, preferring pork, chicken, skunk
and dog meat. Dogs are very numerous

eened for feasts, dances, pow-woWs and
other special occasions.

STORM FORT TRENCHES.
Japanese Drive Russians from Outer
Line of Works at Port Arthur.

Japanese OIISS NuSS1dHS from outer
Line of Works at Port Arthur.
The general assault on Port Arthur
which began Oct "A developed into
fierce battle Sunday. According to
hitherto infallible authority the Japan
csc flung heavy forces against the fortress
in their third attempt to obtain COM
manding position.
The japanese have been preparing for
this assault for a month. 1t is believed
that they did not expect to capture the
town on this occasion, but to accomplish
another important forward step. The
plan was adopted following the first as
sault when thousands of lives were sac
rifced in an attempt to swarm over the
Notifications by mere force of numbers,
regardless of loss.
This assault, like the previous one fol-
lowed weary weeks of trench digging,
gun, mounting and small engagements.
In the opinion of experts the assault
will cease when the Japanese have won
positions that will enable them to creep
steadily closer under the noses of the
Russian guns. 1t is believed that two
more general assaults will be necessary
before the distance between the bellig-
erent lines is shortened sufficiently for
an attempt to enter the main forts and
make the end of the siege practicable.

months old that we had to feed on the

me to try Postum Food Coffee. Three
months ago I commenced using Pos
tum, leaving off the tea and coffee,
and not only have my headaches and
nervous troubles entirely disappeared,
but since then have been giving plen-
ty of nurse for my baby and have a
large, healthy child now.

fiphting before winter sets fn' qua
whether there will be another pltcneo
battle is uncertain. :,
The battle of the Shakhe river VIII
he memorable in history for the econ-
omv of lives with which the Japan
csc fought it. In the battle OF Llao-
wang. although the japanese hao 10
charge again and again upon Russian
intranchments. the losses of the Rus
SLAMS were the heayier-the proper
ton being about four japanese kllleo
and wounded to five Russians. In the
battle of the Shakhe the figures thus
far available would indicate that the
Russian losses were at least three, ana
possibly five or six, times as great as
the Japanese.
Concerning the losses, we have two
facts upon which we can absolutely re-
lv. because both come from japanese
official sources, and japanese onclal
statements have not once during the
war been open to the slightest suspl-
ci0n as to their literal truth. The hrst
IS TQaC llle lotdi JdpttHCoN S''N0"''1
killed and wounded-numbered 1850
officers and men. The second is that
the total number Of Russian dead
buried by the Japanese on the nelo
was 1888. Now in the japanese ar
nv. for which we have detailed f1g-
ures, the ratio Of killed to wounded
was as one to six, and if that same
ratio should apply to the Russians
their total casualties on the basis OF
the dead buried on the field would
number about 10000.
The Russian official statement places
the total number Of killed, wounded
and missing at 800 officers and 10000
men. This SETS the lowest limit of
the losses, but unfortunately we can
not feel confident that it is the whole
truth. An earlier figure purporting to
come from an official report of General
Kuropatkin's, but not verified, puts
the wounded alone at $685. We have
also the estimate Of correspondent
at Mukden, who places the dead at
5000 and the wounded at 10000. If he
was as much too low on the wounded
as on the dead (using the japanese fig
IRE of burials as the test, the total
Russian casualties by this reckoning
would be nearly 10000.
Now, General Kuropatkin cannot
have had over 100000 men in the bat
tie, and it thus appears that his total
casualties were at least one-ffth, and
possibly from one-fourth to third,
of his entire force.
Reports from Port Arthur indicate
renewed attack on the Rihlung and
Keekwan forts just north of the city.
The end Of the siege may very possibly
be approaching. There are indications
that the resistance Of the fortress is
fast weakening and cannot be sus-
tanned much longer. The Japanese are
creeping in on all sides, taking an adj
vance post here, another one there, a
minor fort here, and a few machine
guns yonder They are always closing
in, never receding. They are strength
ening their artillery every day, while
the Russian guns cannot be added to
nor replaced when worn out Nogi fills
up the gaps in the ranks as fast as they
are made, while StoesseI's gaps con-
stantly grow bigger and cannot be
filled up. Weight must shortly tell

KILLS ENEMY FROM AMBUSH.

Ohio Farmer with Shotgun Takes Re-

Roe Schafer, farmer, aged 60 years,
living near Belmore, Ohio, called John
Ham, aged 80 years, who had been en-
ployed by him as a farm hand, from
his residence and, under cover of dark
ness, fired ,double-barreled shotgun
twice at him from a hiding place. Ham,
not knowing what had happened, ran
squarely into Schafer, and the third shot
penetrated his stomach, producing almost
instant death. Ham had secured judg-
ment against Schafer for services and
Schafer sought revenge.
