GUARANTEED CURE FOR FITS

A new method of home treatment
for epileptic fits, originated by a
famous Washington scientist, with all
the government laboratories at his
hand, has been discovered. Elixir
Kosine is recommended for only one
disease, epilepsy or fits. It is SO I'M
failing in curing this dread trouble
that its. discoverer has instructed the
local agents in this city, Voegeli Bros.
Drug Co., corner Hennepin and Wash
ington avenues, and corner of Seventh
street and Nicollet avenue, to sell it un-
der their absolute guarantee to refund
the money if it fails, and he will pay
them for the remedy himself. When
used according to directions, it can no
more fail to cure epilepsy than can the
sun fail to rise, but this guarantee is
made to inspire perfect confidence.
Both sexes, young or old, who have
nervous twitchings or tremblings,
should use Elixir Kosine at once, the
only guaranteed cure. Price, $780,

CANCELLATION BOARD MEETS.
Arguments of Iron and Steel Men
Regarding New Scale Heard

Chicago, Sept. 13.-A board of con-
ciliation selected by the Republic Iron
& Steel company and 20, 900 of it's en-
ployes has met here to fix scale of
wages for the coming year. Today az
guments of employers were heard.
The dispute which the board is to
settle arose over the desire of the COM
pany to reduce the wages OF it's skilled
merchant" ironworkers from to Is
per cent. As provided in the working
agreement which has been in force
since 1901, conference committees from
the company and the unions having
failed to agree on an adjustment OF
wages, the matter was left to board of
conciliation.
The arguments of the company tend
ed to show that reduction in business
combined with large outlays in the
erection of new plants, did not justify
the continuation of last years wage
scale. These claims were met by the
steel workers. representative with the
contention that the number of employ.
es has been reduced in several plants,
thus comparatively Tightening the ex-
pensee.

WILL REORGANIZe ARMY.
Russia Will Divide 1t and Make Ku.
ropatkin Chief Commander.

St. Petersburg, Sept. l2.-Besides
the formation OF two fresh army corps
as the first answer to the Japanese sue
cess at Liao Yang. the Russian army at
the front will be reorganized, probably
in the form of two armies, in COM
mand of General Linevitch and Cen
eral Baron Kaulbar, respectively, with
General KuIopatkin as commander in
chief. General Kaulbar will 60 out
with the two army corps now oryaniz-
ing in the governments of Kazan,
Odessa, Wilma and Kleff. General
Linevitch has been ordered by tele-
graph from Vladivostok to Mukden.
This decision is due in part doubt
lees 10 the growing unwieldiness of the
big force under General Kuropatkin' 3
command, and which will be largely
increased by constant ,einforcements.
General Kuropatkin heretofore has
handled every detail Of the vast organi-
cation. The work is too much for one
man. and he is now almost broken
down under the strain. 1t is known
that the emperor is personally one of
Kutopatkin's strong supporters, and it
is thought the general will in AL prob
ability retain chief command Of the
two armies kuropatk.n, however,
has been seriously criticized by some of
the emperor Close military advisers,
and it is possible he may eventually
be superseded. 1t is understood the
emperor's inspection of the Baltic fleet
at Cronstadt today is the last he will
make, and that the fleet, when it leaves
Llbau. will proceed to the Ear East.

BRlGANDS VERY CRUEL.

Fort Worth, Tex, Sept. 13.-A dis
patch to the Record from Roswell, N.
NJ, says:
Banker Eiland has returned to his
home at Portales, N. M, and verified
the story that he had been held by bri-
gands in the state of Sonora, Mexico.
He has lost SO pounds in flesh. He
is known as a conservative business
man, and the story that he had fallen
into the hands of brigands, who de-
n,anded ransom from his wife at Por-
tales, N. NJ, was not doubted. He was
forced by the bandits to write to his
wife and to sign the name of George
Reese. He said:
81 was capt, ued August 6 by four
mon, and they robbed me of everything
I had. think it was in the state of
Sonora, Mexico. They Immediately
carried me to the mountains and was
made to walk every day and was fed
very little. At night was tied with
ropes. On pain of instant death the
bandits made me write the letter to my
wife demanding the ransom, compelled
me to sign the name of George Reese
and made me misspell the name. The
letter was mailed from the town of
Oputa. They changed positions every
day and marched me through the
mountains until the night of August
80, when made my escape. Isecured
sharp rock and cut the ropes that
bound me and left while they slept.
'"For four days I wandered through
the mountains in search of road, liv-
ing on berries, rabbits and young
birds, and finally reached railroad at
distance of 80 miles from where I
started.
81 beat my way on a lumber train to
Douglas, A,iz., and then went to Ell
Paso, Tex, where I borrowed money
on which to come to Portales.''

NOT A SINGLE GUN LOST.
kuropatkin Reports on His Success
full Retreat to Nukden.

St. Petersburg, Sept. 10.-General
Kuropatkin reports that he did not lose
gun during the retreat. He also
states that General Kuroki's army is
about 81 miles eastward of the railroad
and that General Oku's army is 20
miles west of the railroad. The gen.
eral staff expects big battle will be
fought.
From the generals report, it seems
evident that ne is tentatively prepar-
ing to meet the Japanese again should
Field Marshal Oyama continue to press
northward. Nothing more important
than rearguard actions marked the
march to Mukden. The region south
Of that city is now clear of Russians.
1t is evident that Kuropatkin is taking
precautions to prevent the Japanese
from creeping around his fanks, as he
reports that the Japanese cavalry scout
ing wide on his f1anks.
The best information of the war office
indicates that General Kuroptakin lost
about II 900 men during the ten days
battle at Lao Yang.
A brief Mukden dispatch received

sian correspondents, dated Sept. z, is
really the latest word from the front.
1t was probably all the censor would
allow to be sent, and offers no solution
of the question whether General Kun O.
patkin is continuing his march north
ward: But it seems to indicate that
such a course is contingent upon the
ability of Field Marshal Oyama to try
to repeat at Mukden the enveloping z
movement which failed at Lao Yang.
The only thing certain seems to be that
for the moment everything is quiet. If
the armies continue to race nolthward
to Telling Pass, 40 miles north OF Muk-
den, in the opinion of the best military
critics, it will become OF supreme inn
portance to General Kuropatkin il the
door of his retreat is closed there. In
the event of defeat, he would be forced
westward into Mongolia.

mud and mire over the Manchurian
roads.
Descriptions of the scenes along the
line of retreat are almost incredible.
They tell how the men lay down in the
mud and slept in a drenching rain.
1t is evident that the last determined
effort of the Japanese to bring Kuro-
patkin to bay. was made on Tuesday,
but the Russian commander in chief
faced about and with two corps of ar
tilIery beat off the Japanese while the
remainder of the troops continued to
march to Mukden. After that, the
Japanese could only hang on to the

columns from the bills. The outposts
are still in contact, but they are not
even exchanging shots.
A late dispatch sent tonight from
Mukden describes the horrible plight
of the tentless and shelterless soldiers.
The detaialed statement of the Russian
losses, which it is promised will be is

terest. The general expectation is that
the losses will approxin ate 10000, as
against 80, 900 for the japanese.
The work of burying the dead was
left to the Japanese, who were forced
to attempt the task as matter of sell

possible undertaking. The awful rains
have handicapped the work of crema-
