BREWERY PETITION FAILS.
BY an Error the Brewery Promoters
We're Easily Knocked Out.

Special to meS-Republican.
Waterloo. April 9.-The brewery pc
tition was taken up at special meet
ing Of the council last night, when it
was discovered that the promoters of
the brewery had made miscalculation
as TO the number of signatures re-
CURED ard that their petition did not
show the required number OF names.
The courcil room was crowded with
friends and opponents OF the project to
establish brewery here, and after the
decision Of the council was announced
there wa.' a demonstration upon the
part of the temperance element.
After canyassing the petition and re-
monstrances the aldermen found a to-
tai OF 1908 signatures. The promoters
of the brewery had labored constantly
under the delusion that 1856 names
were required, but the discovery was
made last night that 1,521 were neces-
sary.
After canvassing the petition the
council resumed it's session Alderman
w. r.. French moved to adjourn with
out takirg action. Alderman Claus
Junge was on his feet in a moment,
declaring that he would stand no UNI
derhanded work. presuming, he said,
that the promoters of the brewery
would set the additional thirteen
names ar d call another meeting.
Other members agreed and the vote
stood a lie. Mayor p. J. Martin then
voted against adjournment without ac-
ton. The resolution was Immediately
introduced declaring that the petition
had been found insufficient. An un-
usual demonstration followed quickly,
the anti-brewery men loudly applaud
ing and the ministers crowding to the
desks of the aldermen to thank them.
The brewery promoters We're dumb
founded 10 learn their mistake and can
determine upon no source for the in
accuracy of the figures.

WORSE THAN LAO YANG.
Four Days Of Desperate and Bloody
Fighting Near Mukden.

A dispatch from Mukden says: "The
battle south of this place continued
throughout Wednesday, with ever-ln-
creasing fury. In respect Of desperate.
ness, bravery and bloodshed II far ex-
ceeds the battle of Lao Yang, Toward
evening the Japanese repeatedly as
sumed the offensive. The fight con
tinues with undated fury and deter
mination. 1t is now the fourth day
of the battle"
While containing no positive infor.
nation regarding specific results. the
latest dispatches from both Russian
and Japanese sources seem to indicate
that the tide of the general engage.
ment now in progress between the
Hun and Taitse rivers, is favorable to
Marshal Oyama. A Toxic dispatch
says the latest reports from the front
tell Of continued Japanese successes.

RUSSIANS HAVE HOPE
BELIEVE THEY WILL BREAK
THEIR LOSING STREAK.
kuropstkin Has Reoccupied and Holds
the Town Of Shakhe, Which Was
Lost and Recaptured by Russia
Several Times.

Reports from Russian sources give
more hopeful view Of the situation
Of General Kuropatkin's army That
commander has reoccupied and holds
the town Of Shakhe, the possession Of
which for several days was first with
one and then another of the contend
ing armies Reports from the Russian
left wing, the safety of which there
had been much anxiety about, are no
later than the night of October 49,
They had been fighting for two days
for the possession of Tumin pass, an
important strategic point, but up to
the point of sending the last dispatch
the Japanese were still in possession
Of the pass. In order that this col
umn may be able to rejon the main
Russian army It is necessary that Gen
eral Kuropatkin should hold the
bridges over the Hun river and the
position he now occupies on the
Shakhe river There is no indication
that the end Of the great battle Is at
hand Estimates of the losses show
wide divergence. but are as rule
lower than those given In Sundays
dispatches.

FOUGHT OVER GIRL.
rse Men Killed in . Four.Handed
Duel In Texas.

A girl, young and beautiful, was
the innocent cause Of the fierce fight
with six-shooters at Houston, Texas,
on Sunday. in which Ernest Schilling
was killed and his sons. Frederick
and Henry, wounded She was the
daughter Of the house, and 1t was
through visit paid to her by Herman
Ottman. who long had been one Of
her most devoted admirers, that the
trouble began Ottman, too, Is dead,
shot through the heart in the savage
four.handed battle which was waged
in the presence of the girl he had
hoped TO make his wife. The two
brothers of the girl are prisoners, and
will have to answer the gravest charge
the law knows. But they are in such
a dangerous condition that it will be
at least week before they can be
given hearing
1t appears the brothers objected to
Ottmans attention to their sister,
while the girls father sided with the
sutton. Ottman called upon the young
lady. the two young men insulted him
and a pistol duel began in which all
four men participated. 1t is charged
the father sided with Ottman and was
killed by one of his sons.

FEARFUL SLAUGHTER
.,oopIesT BATTLE OF RUSSIAN
JAPANEeE WAR NOW RAGING.
After Six Days Of Desperate Fighting
the Loss Of the Russians Is Placed
at From 10000 to 10000 Men.

Al the close NJ the seventh consecu'
tive day Of lighting between Mukden
and Lao Yang, the battle was still
raging, the Russians offering a stub
born resistance to the fierce onslaught
OF the Japanese The sacrifice OF life
has been appalling.
Estimates OF the Russian losses
alone in killed and wounded at the
end Of the sixth days fighting are
placed at 10000, while it seems not
improbable that it aggregated at That
time 10000. Japanese reports esti-
mate that 10000 Russian dead were
left on the field of battle up to the
night of October II, and allege that
the japanese losses are small by com.
parison with those of the Russians.
General Kuropatkn's report to EN-
peror Nicholas depicts the desperate
character of the fighting and praises
the valor Of the troops, indicating.
however. that he Is hard pressed, with
the result still in the balance.
All hope of succoring Port Arthur
this season has been abandoned. st.
Petersburg has an unconfirmed report
that the Japanese General NOdzu has
been seriously wounded. A question
Of interest in St Petersburg is the
fate OF General Kuropatkin as fac
tor in the Russian military situat On.

RUSSIANS BADLY WHIPPED.
Reports Indicate the Czsr's Men Are
Getting Some Severe Punishment.

According to a Toxic dispatch. Gen
eral Oku has captured twenty-five Rus
sian guns, making a total of about
thirty Russian guns which have fallen
into the hands of the Japanese since
the battle began. 1t is yet early to
measure the results of the tremen-
dous struggle which has been waged
south of Mukden, but all reports reach
ing Toxic indicate that General Kuro-
patkin has been decisively whipped
and severely punished.
The Russian commander was evil
IDENTITY caught while making his dispo-
sitions and he was beaten before he
could recover. Much depends on the
ability and resolution Of the Japanese
in applying and following up their ad-
vantages. Kuropatkin may turn upon
favorable ground and succeed In beat
ing back the Japanese onslaught, but
the tide seems against him.

Coy bank last April Sunday night
the Mccoy residence was dynamited.
The shock of the explosion could be
heard for miles. Windows in resi-

suffered. The Mccoy family was not
at home at the time, and it is believed
that none of them are in the city. The

ing the roof into the basement Frag
ments of the residence and pieces of

BOY KILLED LION.
Twelve-Year-old Nevada Lad Stays
Beast With Small Calibre Rifle,

John Hird, twelve.year.ol child,
killed mountain lion measuring ten
feet from tip to tip, near Lamoille, in
the Ruby mountains. in Elko county,
Nevada. The boy had been hunting
with small-caiiber rife, and had
tracked deer in snow for some dis
lance, when he came in sight of the
huge lion eating on the carcass of a
deer which it evidently had just
killed.
The sight of the lion eating meat
nearly overcame the boy with fright,
but undaunted he placed the muzZle OF
his rife on boulder, took aim, and
hred. The animal couched and then,
roaring, made several bounds toward
him. Thinking he had only wounded
the beast he started and ran, meet.
ing several men, who went back with
him. Reaching the place they found
the lion dead, being shot through the
heart.

WIN GREAT VICTORY

MEN ON THE nun.
Russians Are Withdrawing North
ward, Having Suffered Heavy
Losses In Recent Encounter
With Brown Men.

A dispatch to London news agency
from Mukden dated October IA. says
the Japanese have gained a great vic.
tory, and that the Russian lines are
withdrawing slowly northward, having
suffered heavy losses. The battle con.
tinues and dispatches are strictly cen.
sored.
All accounts of the fighting south OF
pear to confirm the completeness OF
the Japanese victory, and the only
question discussed by military critics
is whether General Kuropatkin will
be able to make as orderly a retreat
as he did from Lao Yang or whether
the japanese possess sufficient fresh
reserves to undertake successful
pursuit. in which latter case 1t is be.
lieved the Russians will be compelled
to abandon Mukden.
A dispatch from Toxic to the Lon
don Standard says: TT is unofficially
reported that the Japanese right army
has succeeded in isolating force Of
three or four divisions Of Russians in
the Fensihu-Kiatoan district. 1t is rll-
mored that Kuropatkin himself Is with
the force which seems doomed to de-
struction. The central army captured
eleven guns and the left army twenty
five guns, while the spoils OF the right
army are expected to be still more
valuable. It is believed that the disas.
trous advance was forced on General
Kuropatkin from st. Petersburg In
any case, his move was an unexpected
godsend for the Japanese army"
