General Kuropatkin Has Undertaken a
General Offensive Movement Oh
Both FIanixs-No Decision Reached
Concerning Future Action Toward
the Strikers.

st. petersburg, January 20, 1880 a. n.
According to reports current In mill
tary circles, General kuropatkln has
broken through Field Marshal Oyama's
left wing and threatens his communica-
tions with Yinkow. Whether or not the
report is true, the Associated Press
learns from a high military source that
General Kuropatkin mas undertaken a
general offensive movement on botn
fanks, with the object of threatening
both lines of Japanese communications
and forcing the japanese from their
winter quarters. The informant of the
Associated Press said:
After General Mi.,tchenko's RAID
General Kuropatkin decided that Oya-
mas position could be turned westward
from the plains. The advance has 40
solutely no connection with events In
tEuropean Russia. If, as has been re-
Dorted. the Russians have already sue
| ceded in piercing the japanese left they
| doubtless will be able to reach polil
west of Lao Yang in which case the
lJapanese will be outf1anked. A similar
| movement southwark from Bentsia-
nutze will strike the Japanese line ol
communication toward the Yalu. Al
though cold, the weather is ideal fol
| winter campaigning. The ground Is
hard and the rivers frozen solid, making

COW. Arms have been removed from
gunsmith shops, and patrols Of the
streets are continued. In the Baltic
provinces and in Poland the strikers
are cutting telegraph lines and fears
are expressed for most serious disor-
ders, especially in Poland.
No further reports have been received
at st. Petersburg, concerning the fight

Odd Fellows Anniversary.

The Odd Fellows of this city met
in their hall Wednesday evening
especially to honor the eighty-slxth
anniversary of the birth of the
order. About $50 people were pre-
sent, of which 22O took supper.
Among the other good things en-
joyed on this occasion was an ad-
dress by Rev. w. J. c. Ralph, music
of high class, both vocal and in
strumental, and short addresses by
different members.
The Odd Fellows lodge in this
city is one of the strongest, and
when allied with the Rebekahs, as
on this occasion, the meeting was
certainly a success. Every person
present enjoyed himself and wished
that the anniversary of this order
came more frequently.

This picture wildly portrays the
land of Satan, which, in the in
ernal light shines with amazing
splendor. Satan and Faust descend
through space from a great height
to the unknown depths of hell be-
low. They arrived at a grotto Of
fire terrifying in appearance. Faust
is hurled into furnace, which i'm
mediately sends forth a cloud of
smoke and fire while band Of
demons dance merrily in wild
fiendish contortlons. This is the
most sensational, as we'll as the
highest priced production ever sent
out from the Edison Studio. This
marvellous hit, together with the
"Great Train Robbery, ""Mr. Blue
beard" Opera of Faust and

splitting comedy films, and all the

While Bagley will soon have a

For Her Sake.

AS per schedule the For Her
Sake" company arrived in the city
and held down the boards at Reeds
opera house Wednesday evening.
The company was greeted to a
crowded house and the play was
presented in a manner that was
satisfactory to all who were pre-
sent. The play depicted the plots
and tyranny under which the Rus
sion empire IS ruled and also pre-
scented the horrors of the mines of
Siberia. 1t is no wonder that
nihilism thrives in a country where
the practices are in vogue that rule
Russia. Every member of the COM
pany played their parts well
and great many of our people
were pleased to see that veteran
of the stage, BILLY" Marble
and his estimable wife in the cast
of characters and it was a pleasure
to see "Billy's" familiar face on the
stage and hear his comical wittic-
isms. Many of our people remem-
Der when BILLY" travelled with his
own troupe and made week stands
and wherever he went he made
lifelong friends. Manager Sho-
walter is to be congratulated upon
securing such a commendable at
traction for our theatregoers and
we all hope that he will be able to
book many more equally as good
shows.

dilatory in presenting themselves in
the courtroom Wednesday and
Judge Clementson gave all mild

hours.
The judge informed them that it
was to their own interests in the
matter to be there and not delay
matters as a matter of economy if
for no other reason.

of holding court with a jury
in this circuit was 81 for every

FUND INSUFFICIENT.
Appropriation of $4,000 Evidently
Not Enough for Asylum Hospital.

The asylum trustees and DR.. G. A.
Armstrong of Boscobel and w. j.
Brennan of Lancaster, forming the
committee whose duty it was to
meet in Lancaster Wednesday
to consider bids for the erection Of
the isolation hospital at the asylum,
got together at Atty. Brennan's
office.
Several bids were opened but all
were in excess of the appropriation
OF Sc, 600 made by the board for the
purpose at the regular meeting in
November last, the lowest ones be-
ing 81, 49, so in excess of the appro-
priation. The committee was at a
loss as to what course to pursue, but
finally concluded to issue a circular
letter to each and every member of
the board, enlightening them upon
the situation, with instructions to
reply as to whether or not the
committee should proceed further
in the. matter of erecting the build
ing, the extra appropriation
necessary to be voted at the next
session of the board.
The committee acted wisely IN the
matter, not desiring to assume the
responsibility of carrying the pro-
ject to completion under the circum-
stances. Until replies are heard
the matter is at a standstill.
