According TO information In posses.

about $4,000 men, on the liaotialSG
peninsula and al least seven divisions
and seven reserve corps. or about lz5,s

among the members of the general
staff that General Kuroki's purpose
was to make feints to prevent General
kuropatkin from moving, but MOI Ito
attack him until the result Of the cam
paign against Port Arthur Is detei-
mined, there is now apparently moe
inclination to think he will try a
demonstration in force, which might
result in 4 decisive engagement The
Japanese commander is GOiistalitl&
shifting his columns back and forth
to conceal his real purpose, the latest
reports received being that he h.ss
again abandoned SaiInatsza.

Japanese Military Methods.

II Golfers for September 10 Fred
orick Palmer, the war correspondent,
writing of the second attack on Molten
ling, under the title, "And the Japanese
Kept the Pass" compares the meth
eds of the burly Russians with the
aeile little yellow men and says: "a
Japanese general knows that any
force however small, will stay where it
s placed-stay, dead or alive. One
company is as much like the other as
Ieas in a pod. No special units; nc
Rough Riders; no Kings Own; nc
stiffening of weak regiments with regi
1rents of volunteers or regulars. There
lis an approximate level of courage and
skill. A commander may choose the
Unit at hand as a mechanic takes down
any one of number of equally tenn
pered tools from rack. If you want
a Horatious at the Bridge, take the
nearest first sergeant
"The Russians came to the attack
with splendid confidence-a childish

the Siberian steppes in their troop
trains they had been begetting this

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the inflam
nation can be taken out and this tube
restored to it's normal condition, he +
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case OF Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

The Western polo league is breath

The joint conference held at the
Imperial hotel yesterday between the

leagues served to take load from
the somewhat troubled minds of the
older league members.
That the Western League is hav-
ing trouble, and lots of it, is not
denied by the team owners. 1t is a
family affair, however, and not a
neighborhood row, and it was to con-
fine the bellicose condition to their
own organization that yesterday s
meeting was requested by the West
ern league.
Last season the Central League
paid reasonable salaries. satisfied
its crowds and made money. The
Western league paid exorbitant sal
aries. satisfied its crowds. but did
not make much money.
This season the Central League Is
signing the same men at the same
salaries as last Year and getting
along nicely. The Western Is en-
tlearoling TO sign its same players at
reduced salary and is having more
trouble than a Russian regiment
The result is that the Western

Body Identified.
Been LIVING AT ZION CITY

| The cause of Doweism has claimed
one more victim. The unfortunate
person this time being Verne Krall,
who committed suicide in the depot
Of the L. E. & W. railway at Kokomo
Saturday afternoon. The body was
not identified until yesterday morn
ing. krall visited in Richmond a
number of times when his home was
near Kokomo and he was we'll known
here. He has been living at Zion
City for the last three or four years.
His father is now living at Hoops
ton, Ills. The following telegram
from Kokomo gives a very graphic
account Of the death Of the young
man.
Kokomo, Ind, October 24.-Last
evening, after twenty-four hours
vigorous use of the telephone and
telegraph, Superintendent Taylor, Of
the local police, was able to announce
| that he had established the identity
Of the stylishly dressed young man
who took a dose of arsenic in the l..
4. & W. railway station here Satur-
day afternoon, and who died two
hours later, at the county intirmary,
10 which he had been removed. The
dead mans name is Verne Krall, and
his home. prior to his coming to ko-
komo, last Friday, was at Zion City,
Iii. In one Of his pockets was found
the following unsigned letter, adj
dressed to a Chicago ewspaper:
"Will you please put my photo IN
the paper so my folks can claim me?
They do not know where / am. They
live near Chicago. I belonged to
Dowie's church the last two years,
but this summer they got hold of my
money | had in the bank, and they
took it out, and / could not get 1t
back. Afr they got my money they
made me leave the church without a
cent, so I am not going to try to save
any more money. l am going to quit.
| had saved up a good deal in the
two years and they took every cent.
did not register by my right name.
That is the reason I ask you to put
this in the paper. Good-by and
oblige.''
Krall arrived in Kokomo Friday
evening and engaged lodging at the
Home Hotel. after which he attended
the performance Of "In the Shadow
of the Gallows' at the local theater.
He went to his room about IL O'Clock
that night, and did not reappear UNI
til o'clock Saturday morning. He
paid for his lodging, but took no
breakfast. From the time he left
the hotel until ; O'Clock Saturday
afternoon, when he was found vio-
lently i'll in the railway station,
nothing has been learned of his where
abouts. He admitted, when dying,
that he had been poisoned by eating
candy that had arsenic in it, but de-
MED that he had intended to kill
himself.
