THE COUNTY
COMMIT
Endorses Men Who
Are Seeking
Jobs.
MattheWman May Be
the Assistant to
RawIins.
Judge KauIukou Would Like the
Job-Crook is Turned Down
a Second Time.

The Republican County Executive
Committee held meeting yesterday
morning at headquarters and passed
upon a number of new applications for
offices under the county organization.
The applicants were only for minor
positions of road lunas and clerks, and
were all endorsed. Two clerks who
had been suspended from the office Of
the Registrar of Conveyances We're en-
dorsed for positions under Clerk Muir
ray.
The applications of both j. Bachelor
and Gus Rose for the position of license
clerk under Treasurer Damon were
again considered on the report of the
committee, and both We're endorsed.
1t is understood that only the license
inspector will be continued in office and
Bachelor is to retain his place.
The name of Avon Crook was again
brought UP for the position of assistant
to the County Attorney, and was again
laid on the table, by an almost unan-
imous vote. The name of C. F. Glenn
ons, an attorney in Judge Writings
office, was endorsed for the position
Judge j. l.. Kau1ukou also presented
his name for consideration as assistant
attorney, but action upon it was post
poned, as Kaulukou had not sent along
the endorsement of his district md pre-
cinct committee. It is understood that
j. A. Matthewman, who is appearing
in the County Act case, will get the
position, if he is willing to accept.
Neither the name of Charles Clark
or Chas. Wilson was brought up at
yesterdays meeting, and it is stated
authoritatively that neither of chem
will get the committee endorsement
H. c. Vida is said to be slated for the
position of road supervisor.
There is unlikely to be any changes
in the police department, and c. F.
Chillingworth is said to be certain of
re-appointment under Sheriff Brown.
The police will also be continued, .orac-
tically as they now are. Quite a bunch
of names were considered for positions
as lunas and clerks in minor positions
and We're endorsed without exception.

A Well
Developed
Form

A good set of muscles is one of the
@mosf excellent qualifications which any
person can possess. There is no posi-
ton in life for which they unfit one and
there is none which they will not enable
one to Fill to better advantage than he
otherwise could do There are thous-
and and one emergencies in life in which
strong, vigorous, and wel1-trained mus
cles are of enormous service, and in
which their use may be of incalcuable
value Proper physical culture gives,
not only increased physical strength, but
greater dexterity, suppleness, and grace
of movement. The person who walks
with shuffling, swaying. and awkward
gait, does so, not on account of anJ
original defect in his physical makeup,
but through the weakness. of certain
muscles which, by disuse, have become
unable to do their part in the act of
walking, and so render him unable to
perform it in an easy and graceful man
ner. TIE trained gymnast exhibits a
hghtness and elasticity of movement i'm
possible to an individual who has not
had the benefit of physical training at

RUSSIANS RETREATING.
japanese Gradually Forcing Rus
sian Army Back.

Late reports from the seat Of war in
the Far East Indicate that the Russian
main army has been forced to fall back
toward Mukden.
The Japanese are continuing to ad
vance from Stu Yen and Feng Wang
Cheng. General Oku is also moving
north from Senu Chen. General Sam
sonof is contesting his progress. but is
not offering serious resistance. The
Japanese force advancing from the Mo
Tien pass is composed Of at least three
regiments and len batteries Of artillery.
fsf:e Of equal strength is advancing
from Fen Shui pass on the high road to
Liao Yang. The flank move on the lat
ter is supported by column marching
from Saimats7a.
1t is claimed that Kuropatkin's forces
are in danger OF being cut of without
general retreat is ordered.
In st. Petersburg it is expected that
big battl. y be fought between the
main armies in Southern Manchuria in
very few days.
At st. Petersburg the tone OF both
public ard official circles has greatly
improved. The report that the Port
Arthur squadron has really put to sea
and that no ship has been sunk. seems
to remove the suspense. Confidence is
manifested in the influence The navy
will have or the campaign aud many
people are inclined TO attribute the jap
anese precipi' ancy to General Kuropat-
kin to the fact that the squadron at
large threatens the Japanese armys sea
