 General Kuropatkin adds that the rearguard advanced in perfect order, but that the movement of the transport along the mandarin road was very diff ficult owing to the Japanese cannonade. The country between Tie Pass and Mukden is intersected by rivers and steep banks, and the Russian wagons were obliged to halt and wait their turn, causing much delay. At. t.#

Standard Oil, The Kansas legislature

erection Of a state oil refinery, ( r the

be conducted by cohvicts. The bill
c,rried an appropriation of $4,000 for

Al SCRlVNER SHOT.
Row In a Saloon Ends In a Shooting
Affray,

Wednesday night, at about half past
10, Al Scrivner, who lives over in Line
township, had a narrow squeak" for
his life at the hands of "Grif" Ham of
Harvard, Neb.. "a gambler who has
made his headquarters in Red Cloud
for some time past.
Scrivner and Ham had been making
the rounds together during the even.
ing and both took on more tanglefoot
than was good for them They had a
quarrel in Mandeville's saloon, and
later, in Bushels saloon the quarrel
was renewed Finally, words led to
blows, and the men clinched and went
to the floor with Scrivner on top. AL
had a good grip on Hams throat and
it was with difficulty that the bar
keeper and other bystanders separated
them. When they arose from the
floor Ham, who was Infatuated, drew
a 80 caliber gun and opened fire on
Scrivner. The first shot took effect in
Scrivner's left arm, entering below the
elbow and coming out through the
muscles on the inner side just above
the elbow The ball narrowly missed
the bone. Ham fired again, but missed,
and before he could fire a third time
John Grams succeeded in disarming
him.
DIR Cook attended to Scrivner's
wound. and it is thought the injury
will result in nothing more serious
than a lame arm for a few weeks.
II m left tow" sometime during the
night and it is probable no effort will
be made to bring him b OK, as Scriv-
ner has declined to swear out a wal
rant for his arrest and does not want
to appear against him.

Cordially Received

The Savannah, Ca, News has
this to say:
ssMr. Paul Gilmore and an ex-
cellent company gave a splendid
performance of "Captain Debon-
naire' to a large and enthusiastic
audience last night. There is not
a weak character in the rather
large cast. And the scenery is
admirable.
SO cordially was Mr.. Gilmore
received-he Is q great favorite
in Savannah-that he was forced
to respond to several curtain calls
at the conclusion Of the third act,
when, with his ever ready rapier
he puts four men away. His
audience was not satisfied with
bows, and, although fatigued and
almost breathless from his hard
sword play, Mr.. Gilmore, was
compelled to say a few words of
thanks. It was no stage talk, and
that he was appreciative of the
applause he had provoked was
made plain. "I thank you for
this most generous old Savannah
Welcomes" he said as he bowed
himself off the stage.

A special from Meridian OF
December 18th, says:
Southern passenger train,
leaving this city at 7:50 O'Clock
this morning, was wrecked about
three miles above York, twenty
two miles from Meridian, at 9:20
O'Clock. The track spread and
two heavily laden cars were
hurled from the right-of-way and
completely overturned. The
number of injured has not been
aseertained, it being variously
estimated from seven to thirty
seven. Only one OF. whom is
considered dangerous.
From the best obtainable in
formation, the train was proceed
ing towards Curl, Ala, some
three miles from the town OF
York, when, without warning,
the rails spread and the track
gave way. The two light day
coaches, said to have been well
filled with passengers, flew from
the road bed and were turned
completely over. Practically
every person on the train was
more or less scratched and
bruised, and these are believed
to be considered in the total
when the larger number is given.
AS far as ascertained, only
about seven people were suflci-
emily injured to demand medical
attention, and only one of these,
lady passenger who had board
ed the train at York, is considered
even dangerously injured. This
passenger, a Mrs. Mcknight. a
resident OF York Station. She
