Gen. StOeSSeI SwOFe That
 It Was in Bad Taste,
THE TERMS OF SURRENDER
Only the Fortress and Fleet Were Wanted -I Tn Three Days Fighting the AssaiIants Lost 25,000 Men, but Gained Important Positions.

Chefoo, Aug. 1S.-A battle of huge proportions ragged around Port Arthur Aug. 14 and 15 and it was resumed on August IT. The Japanese, it is repor-- ed, sacrificed 25,0O0 more men bu; gained important advantages in ths matter of position. The above news was brought here on junks, one of which having on board three Russians, concealed i'll the baggage of the Chi |. nese to escape from the Japanese, left Port Arthur last night and was blown to Chefoo by a gale.
 The main force of the attack was di- rected against the Russian left wing and resulted in the capture of Pigeon bay positions and some of the forts at Liao iTcieshan. At Palunchang, the Japanese hastily mounted guns and did excellent service in aiding the storm ing of the right wing where the Jap anese are said to have captured two forts of minor value, mounting eigh. four inch guns, two siege guns and six quick firing guns.
 The position that the Japanese Oc- cupy on Liao Tcieshan peninsula is not clear but numerous Chinese sources aver that the Japanese have been seen in force in that section. A cruising at . tack originating in Louisa Bay swept through the Pigeon Bay positions upon the peninsula, in the doing of which q
 majority of. the lives of the explosion
 were sacrificed.
 On the night of the 18th, the battle | lulled somewhat when the Japanese | sent terms of surrender to Lieutenant | General Stoessel. The terms provid-

General Stoessel's treatment of the Japanese major was courteous but his reply was prompt and characteristic. The Japanese major then asked for a three days truce in which to bury the dead.

 A frightful incident of the recent fighting, the refugees state. occurred in the storming Of forts and on the right wing, when the land mines were exploded. It is alleged that two Jap anese infantry regiments. two squad rons of cavalry and one artillery com pnny were completely destroyed
 The refugees further say that the warships nov at Port Arthur are still in fighting trim. This statement seems hardly credible in the light of recent developments. The Japanese loss at the taking of Takushal is estimated at 5000 The shells falling in Port Arthur fall completely in the old town.

and makes the ordeal Of nursing very
much easier for all parties concerned.
1t is desperately hard for one who is
Ill to be tied to a sick bed or an inva-
lids chair, but it is infinitely harder
for one who is we'll to be confined to
the sick room with all it's depressing
influence.
Many invalids are so lovable and con-
siderate that one feels as If they could
never do enough to help them bear and
TO alleviate as far as possible the suffer
ing. Others there are whom the COM
bined offices Of the nine choirs OF angels
would utterly fail to please Every ef-
fort is met with whine or a reproach,
until human nature rebels at the in
justice of it all.
Fault finding is more a matter OF i'll
nature than of real grievances. The
man or woman who contracts the habit
finds that it grows on their hands. un-
til 1t becomes a settled fact that no
matter what may occur, or how hard
others try to please them, no credit is
to be given for it.
A
of fault finding is necessary to the
proper discipline OF his home, and that
the full mastery Of domestic cOndi-
tions depends upon the awe he in
spires. Did he praise his wife she
might possibly become imbued with a
certain idea of her own importance,
for which reason the heavy hand OF

There are mothers who are insanely
Jealous Of their own daughters, not
only as far as the husband and father
is concerned, but in the matter OF
social triumphs. A woman who is
handsome and charming, and accus-
toned to swaying her own little world
about her, sees with envy and chagrin
the beauty and charm Of the daugh-
ter unfolding That the scepter she
has welded so Dong and successfully
must slip from her fills her small soul
with horror. and after a systematic
course of fault-fiinding drives the
daughter to matrimOny or worse. be-
cause there are really some few things
that might prove even worse than
matrimony.
There is not much good that we can
do in this tortuOus world, and yet a
pleasant face is something that can be
cultivated. No good ever results from
the chronic display of iIl-humor that
mars so many lives. There is not only
a deal of philosophy, but there is also
a vast amount of deep-seated religion
in the practice of making the best of
everything. No child was ever bene-
flied or improved by nagging, while TO
many it has been the source Of so
much encouragement that the sweet
est part of all interest in life is embit-
tered, and there is no denying that a
child will learn to dread, if not to alb
solutely hate, the mother who never
sees the good but always finds some
excuse to wound or find fault.

FOR FAME AND K
Championship Bowling Contest Will
Begin Tomorrow Evening,
Champions

Everything has been settled. The
contest between the recently organized
Northern team and the Billings team
will be decided by a series of games
to be played tomorrow and Monday
EVENINGS Captain "Si' Sherman has
selected his players from whom he
will pick five men to go against an
equal number from the other team.
The games will take place on alleys
Nos. 2 and 8, on which the practice
games have been rolled.
Sherman is handicapped to the ex-
tent of having only six men whom he
considers in championship form,
while the Northern team has eight
from whom to make a pick. Fifty dol
lars has been wagered on the result,
$40 to the man, so it will be seer that
a material as well as sentimental rea-
son exists why each of the players
should do his very best.
The Northern team is composed as
follows: O. A. Tschudy, captain, o.
G. Ovren, w. w. Smith, F. M. Hum
bert, j.. B. Elliot, F. Richstein, Helm
rich Badger and l.. G. Babcock. Those
entered for the Billings team are j. G..
Sherman, SIR. Salisbury, J. w. Cough,
H. O. Williams, L. L. Worthington
and Arthur Ovren.
Some decidedly good work has been
done by both teams in the practice
games and it is expected that the local
record will be badly smashed by the
time the last game will have been
rolled Monday night.
