1t takes lots of vitality, nervous force and
strength to win a race. Blood must be

Without good red blood a man has a
weak heart and poor nerves Thinness of
the blood, or anemia, is common in men

indoors, who do not get enough good OK

Tonics consisting of large portions of
alcohol, iron or cod liver oil, do not bring
the desired changes in the blood, because
they do not enter the system aud are not
absorbed into the blood, with the excep-
ton of the alcohol, which shriveis up the
red blood corpuscles when it does come In

St. Petersburg announcing that Gen.
eral kuroki's force was crossing the
Taitse river on pontoons would indi-
Gates that the Japanese have either
turned or are turning the Russian left

been on the Russian left flank. A dis
patch to the Associated Press from
Liaoyang Wednesday evening an
nounccd that the Japanese were get
ting around the Russian left flank and
that developments were expected in
the west and northwest. This state
ment now appears TO be confirmed,
for it is announced from Mukden In
delayed dispatch that Japanese force
of 10000 men is said to be advancing
from the northeast of Mukden. The
western move has not yet developed,
according to the advices to hand, but
the announcement probably refers to
the Japanese force which has been
reported to be moving up the Lao
river.

Japanese Made Desperate Attacks on
Russian Front.

HuSfidn rTOnt.
Iiaoyang, Sept. "A Russian cor
respondent of the Associated Press
sends the following from the south
east front:
After midday Wednesday the JAP
anese concentrated the strength OF all
their artillery fire against hill No. 9s
and the village Of Maetum, endeavor-
ing to break into our line. At the
same time they viciously attacked our
west line to the right of the hill.
Attack followed attack for three
hours. Between and s o'clock in the
afternoon we repulsed three headlong
charges against our line. After this
the Japanese, with the strength Of all
their batteries, opened fire along the
whole southern front, but this attack,
too, was driven back with what
seemed tremendous loss, although 1t
was impossible to tell clearly what
happened amid the shell fire and fight
Ing. The roar of siege guns, mortar
batteries and mixed volley firing went
on until darkness set In.
To the north a storm, accompanied
by thunder and lightning, broke. while
along the front thoul nds of shells
were bursting constantly. 1t seemed
like magnificent display of fireworks,
beggaring description.

ORDER TYING UP INDEPENDENT
PACKERS LIMITED TO CHI.
CAGO AND ct. LOUIS.
MOVEMENT OF LIVE STOCK ptRalYzED
STRIKE OF HANDLERS CAUSES
COMPLETE CESSATION OF
WORK IN STOCK YARDS.

Chicago, Sept 2-The strike order
Of President Donnely with regard to
independent packing plants is to apply
only to those plants in Chicago and
st. Louis.
"It was President Donnelly's idea,
said a national officer OF the striking
butchers organization, to tie up the
independent packers and bring on a
meat shortage in order To awaken pub
lie interest in the strike. This was
opposed because 1t was felt such ac-
tion would hurt us most by throwing
our men out of employment in large
numbers, Confining the order to Chi
cago and ST Louis is not an effort to
produce a meat famine. but is simply
case of cooperation with the strik-
ing live stock handlers. Comparatively
few independent houses will be, al
fected."
"Stock handlers" said President
Donnelly, 'are on strike only in Chi
cago and St. Louis. In Chicago only
the independents within the stock
yards enclosure will be of necessity
dhCIlCh, tHloh Iil0A iplosth III
dependent rackinghouses will not be
permitted TO dress cattle handled on
the hoof by nonunion men. The fate
of the outside independent packers de-
pends on their ability TO secure stock
without recourse TO the Stock Yards
company"
Not bullock, hog or sheep has been
driven out of the stock yards since the
order to the handlers went into force.
A committee of live stock owners and
commission men has waited upon
Donnelly and requested permission to
load cattle now in the yards for ship
ment tc the east. The request was
referred to the allied trades council
After several hours consideration
the conference board of the allied
trades council refused to call off the
strike at the plants of the independent
packers.
Wholesalers have asready begun to
raise the price OF meats aud IL IS
stated that before another week is
over Chicago will be without meat.

United Irish League Convention Has
Lively Discussion.

New York, Sept. 2.-Much excite

membership of the executive commit
tee at the convention of the United
Irish League of America Wednesday.
The proposition was to increase the
committee from to 100. and trouble
began when Jonn +. Ryan of Phila-
delphia said that New York should
not have two representatives on the
executive committee, when Boston and
other cities had given more to the gen.
eral fund than New York had given.
Delegate O'Connor of Elmira, N. ",
sharply resented Mr.. Ryan's attack on
the Irishmen of New York state and
the convention was soon in an uproar.
After great disorder the proposed
amendment was defeated and the ex-
citement subsided.
The remainder OF the day was de-
voted to routine business and to the
adoption of platform pledging ale.

president of the Northern Securities
company, testified during the day that
on May 9, 1901, the cay of the panic in
Northern Pacific stock, he remained in
his office and was busy considering
the buying of new locomotives and
other railroad affairs. When ques-
toned as to the apportionment of
Northern Pacific stock prior to the
panic Mr.. Hill said his personal hold
ings in Northern Pacific amounted to
$7,000,O00 and an additional $14,000,-
900 was held by friends of his. Mr..
Morgans share. he said, was 10000
900. These holdings were Of common
stock. Mr. Till was called to tell what
he knew of the famous Northern Pa
cific corner in which John j. OIeary
of Chicago, who was short, claims that
his brokers closed down on him at a
much higher figure than should have
been done, and in the suit, in which
Mr.. Hill, J. Pierpont Morgan and 9th
ers have been called as witnesses,
OLeary seeks to recover $4,000 de-
posted with his brokers as margins.
1t was announced that Mr.. Morgan
will not testify i'm person, but repre-
sentatives of his firm will be present.

however, bringing the action up to a
later hour, says that the Russian right
aud center is falling back, pursued by
the Japanese.
Russian official advices say that
General kuroki, who was reported as
moving northward on the Russian
left. has thrown pontoons over the
Taitse river and has crossed with one
division. while others are following.
kurolzi's object obviously is to inter

said to be superbly fortified with rifle
pits, entrenchments and barbed wire
entangiements.

artillery, crossed first and covered the

fording the river the Japanese adj
