RUSSIA
PORT ARTHUR.
Admiral Togo Makes Another Unsuc-
CessfuI Attack With Heavy
Losses.

Port Arthur Is still the principal
scene of operations in the East. On
Sunday the Japanese under Admiral
Togo made another attempt to close
The Port but the Russian gun
boats guarding the entrance to the
harbor were on the alert and i'm
mediately opened fire. One Rus
sian torpedo boat successfully engaged
six of the Japs and the latter were
forced to retire ingloriously with q
loss OF two boats and almost all the
men who manned them.
1t is said that the Japanese desire to
block Port Arthur and render the
fleet there useless to Russia is based
upon q plan to land a great body Of
troops at New Chwang, which cannotIbe
done if the Russian ships at Port Ara
thur are active.

The Hub is in fine fettle for Spring trade, We expect to do
this Spring much the largest business in our history, for the very
good reason that we have this season a good deal the incest stock
we have ever carried. Everything is spick, span new; and we
do not believe that there is a single article in the whole stock
which is not characterized by thorough refinement of taste and
excellence of quality. The Hub aims to carry a choicer, more
select, more thoroughly fashionable stock than is common in towns
of this size; and the yearly growth of our business is good proof
that the ladies of this section appreciate our policy.

FArERwEATHER WILL CASE.
Argument Heard by the suprem

Argument Heard by the supreme
 Court ef the United States.
 Washington, Oct. 12-The United States Supreme Court today heard ar guments in what is known as the Fay erweather will case, involving several million dollars worth of property lett by Daniel B. Fayerweather, New York leather merchant, who died Tn that city in 1890. leaving an estate valued at upwards of $6.000,000. The present litigation is over the owner snip of a part of the residuary estate together with fourteen years interest. The case Is that of John B. Reynolds, as sole executor of the last will of Lucy Fayerweather, the deceased widow. against Thomas G. Ritch and others, individually and as executors.
 Fayerweather left three heirs-at- law and next of kin, namely. Mary W. Achter. Emma S. Fayerweather both of Muscatine. Iowa. his nieces, and Lucy J. Beardsley of Bridgeport, Conn. The case was appealed by Reynolds From the decision in 1902 of Judge Macombe in the United States Circuit Court for the Southern District of New York. Former Chief Justice Parker. the Democratic candidate for President, was one of the judges in the court of general terms at New York who rem dered the opinion of that body in the case, holding that as to the residue of the net estate the Fayerweather de- cided intestate, the widow and next of kin made releases of their property and that there was not sufficient evidence to connect fraud with these releases.

 Meets Mysterious Death.
 Scootsboro, Oct. 13.-(Special. )I-A most deplorable accident occurred here yesterday. B. F. Card. an old and highly respected citizen of this County. drove out to the river near old Belle fonte to fish. When night came and he did not come home, a search was made and he was found on the side of the road unconscious, with a bad gasb in the back of his head and his face black as if he had been struck a terri ble blow.
 His buggy was torn to pieces and his horse was standing nearby. He was picked up and brought home but never regained consciousness and died yesterday morning.
 Opinion Is divided as to how he was hurt. Some think his horse ran away and others think he was murdered and the horse made to run away afterwards to hide the crime.
 MT. Card was e7 years old and was the father of J. M. Card. President of the Card Lumber Company of Chatta- nooga, Tenn, and an uncle of Postmas- ter A. N. Holland of Scottsboro. Mir. Card was one of the best and most in- fuential citizens in the County and has a wide family connection.
 Rice A. Coffey was summoned by long distance phone today to the bed- side of his wife who went to Nash vile last week for medical treatment. Her condition is alarming and friends here fear the worst. MT. Coffey could not get a train here before TAO to- night, so hired the fastest team in the town. and drove to Stevenson, eighteen miles distant and caught the N. c. & St. L.. train for Nashville. Mrs. Cof- fey is a neice of Mir. Card, who was killed.

VICTORY DUE TO DIET
JAPANESE SUCCESS DEPENDS ON
 COMsIIssARIAT.
Mator Seaman Gives High Praise to the Hospital system and Medical Officers of the Mika-
 dos Army.

St. Louis. Oct 12.--The entire third days session of the International Con- gress of Military Surgeons was devoted to the presentation of papers and ad- dresses. The first addess was by Major Louis Livingston Seaman, U. S.. V. E., who has just returned from the scene of the Russo Japanese war.
 Major Seaman's paper gives high praise to the Japanese hospitals and to the medical officers, but 1t Is of the soldiers diet that he speaks most in ap- probation. although he said, that the present Japanese army ration has proved somewhat defective under the exhausting conditions of the present campaign, in that 1t has not sufficient nitrogen. As a result, when he left New Chwang, late in August, Kaki befri~berri had begun to develop. Re- ferring to the medical wards of the Hospitals, he said that of all the thous- ands gathered in these institutions scarcely a bakers dozen came under the head of diseases of the digestive system.
 Therein" he said, Ties one of the greatest secrets of the Japanese sue cess. The soldier Is supplied with a plain, palatable, easily prepared and easily digested ration that can be thor oughly metabolized and converted into the health and energy that make it's owner the ideal fighting machine of the world today"
 Major Seaman visited in turn all the naval and military hospitals in Japan and the Russian wounded and prison CTS at Matzamana, where the prisoners. some 1,000 in number, were being "en- tertained," as Major Seaman put 1t. The men. he said, were being literally fed with fish. white bread. fruit ana many delicacies. Several of them. he said. declared they hoped to be left in Japan. Speaking of the effect of the famous Shimose powder, Major Sea- man cited the case of a Russian sailor on the cruiser Varaig whose body con- tMined 161 distinct wounds.
 Major Seaman pointed out the small per centage Of deaths from wounds among She Japanese and said that the loss Gom preventable diseases in the conh.ct will be but a fraction of one per cent. This, too, he added. in A country notoriously unsanitary In elrtract to this condition of prepared ness, Major Seaman described the con- aftions which he said existed in the Russian service in Manchuria prior to the outbreak of the war.
 Arriving trains" he declared, that should have been crowded with men and munitions of war brought each a full complement of the demimonde and vfvoka. Wine, women and song were certainly the undoing of Russia where beauty and a bottle were the highest ambition of it's oficers--from Genera to corporal Sodom and Gomorrah- the current synonyms of Port Arthu, and yladivosok in the Orient--wer, temples of virtue in comparison to thC debauchery. licentiousness. fragrant i'm,
