and other heirs, including himself as
an individual and as trustee, Tor con
struction OF the will. Mr.. Bryan de-

RUSSIAN GENERALS IN MANCKU.
RIA LOSING CONFIDENCE IN
THEIR COMMANDER.
RANK AND FILE ARE DEM0RALIzEO
FORMER FIGHTING SPIRIT NOT
APPARENT IN RECENT OUT.
POST sklRMlsHlNG.

Toxic, Jan. Information which
has reached certain reliable quarters
here states that the Russian generals
in Manchuria are losing confidence in
General Kuropatkin and the Russian
situation around Mukden is serious
one. 1t is feared that if Kuropatkin
attacks the Japanese position along the
Shakhe river he will court disaster
and that his further retreat will mean
the decentralization of his army.
This information goes on to say that
there is constant pickering at Russian
Manchurian headquarters and that the
soldiers are discontented, dissatisfac,
tion beginning with the series Of re.
treats after the battle Of TeliSSu (Va-
tangow) and the withdrawal from
Liaoyang when it was believed it was
possible to hold that place. The CHI
max came with the Russian defeat at
the battle CT Shakhe river, following
kuropatkin' S strongly Wolded order ul-
reCting the forward movement, dated
Oct. 2. This defeat brought d storm
of criticism upon the COMMANDMENTS.
chief and resulted in discOrd among
the officers.
Long inaction, the information al
leges, is under mining the morale OF
the Russian army and it is pointed Gut
that recent skirmishes and outpost
brushes indicate that the Russian sol.
diers are becoming dishearteneI as
they do not show their former lighting
spirit or qualities.
The siege guns to be sent to Man
churia from Port Arthur will probably !
be placed in advanced positions for
the purpose of enabling the Japanese
to shell far into the Russian lines.

Corydon Appeals to Ra7sfoad Com.
missloners for Better Tram
Service.

The town of Corydon has appealed to
the railroad commissioners to see ii
they will not compel the Burlington
management to give them better raiF-
way service. A few years ago people
who lived along the lines of the Burl-
ington considered themselves fortunate
for it seems to- be the policy of the road
to give the best possible service to the
public, but more reeently it looks as il
they did not care a snap of their fingers
about accommodating ehe travelling
public. We are glad to seq the Corydon
people take the matter up with the
railroad commissioners, and if they are
successful Leon might do the same
thing and ask the commissioners to
compel the railroad to start the morn
ing Des Moines passenger train which
now starts from Van Vert, from Leon,
and run it back to Leon in the evening
instead of stopping at Van Vert. AS
it is now Leon has very poor facilities
for reaching Des Moines or any town
west of Osceola on the main line. The
following notice of the Corydon case
is taken from the Centerville Iowegian.
Alleging that the Burlington road is
not giving them adequate accommoda-
tions by stopping one of it's passengers
at Centerville and another at Van Vert.
Corydon people have petitioned the
state board OF railway commissioners to
provide another train. The petition is
largely signed by Corydon business
men and surrounding farmers and
County Attorney Carter has sent it to
the commission. The petition says
Corydon is one of the best paying towns
on the road from Keokuk to Des Moines,
that until about two years ago while
the X. & w. company was the sole
owner there were two passenger trains
a day, each way, and the same was per-
fectly satisfactory, and believed to be
profitable to the company. 1t is further
complained that the present service re-
quires two days to go to Promise City and
back, few miles east, and service west
is not much better, which is a great
detriment to the business interests of
the community and seriously interferes
with the reasonable copveniences of the
travelling public. 1t is further declared
that the gap Of SO miles between
Centerville and Van Vert could be
filled in with another train each way
with little expense, and would be a
source Of profit and great accommoda-
ton.
Corydon people are asking that other
towns affected send in like petitions.
Centerville is greatly interested in such
a project. AS it is people from west of
here have no means of getting in and
out the same day, much business going
west that should come here. Also a
better service west in the morning
would be of much advantage to bust
ness men here. The only trains west at
present are the 11:30 neon train going
west and the $3.50 evening train going
east. Another passenger starts from
here at $40 and arrives 1910. One
proposal is that this train leaves leaves
here for the west early in the morning
returning from Van Vert in time to pro-
ceed east.

NOW is THE TIME FOR HYOMEI.
Far Easier to Cure Cdtarrh Now
Than at Any Other Season.

Now is the time to use Hyomei, when
the early summer days make it so easy
to cure catarrhal troubles. The HyomeI
treatment, breathed for few minutes
three or four times day in May or
June, will do good twice as quickly as
it did in January, and nearly everyone
knows that used faithfully then, it com
pletely rids the system of catarrh.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
one dollar, and consists of neat inhal-
err that can be carried in the purse or
vest-pocket and will last lifetime, a
medicine dropper, and a bottle of
Hyomei. Extra bottles of Hyomei
can be procured, if desired, for fifty
cents.
LIP. Van Werden give his personal
guarantee with every Hyomei outfit
they sell to refund the money if it does
not give satisfaction. There is no risk
whatever to the purchaser of Hyomei.
