not give me more than temporary re-

fondness for dolls. Indeed, she has
just as large family of them today
as when she was a little girl in pima
fores. One in particular she always
has kept by her-a French doll with
large blue eyes that open and shut.
1t even accompanied her through her
college course in Smith. Naturally
that caused testing among her class
mates, but Miss Daskam never let
her loyalty to her charge be shaken.
OF course, it mustn't be supposed she
took the doll to meals or into the
class rooms. When Miss Daskam left
college she took the doll along. 1t
was with her even on her honeymoon
with Mr.. Bacon, and, though it was
somewhat neglected, it never was for
gotten entirely.-New York Press.

Exposition. turns out to be woman.
Mrs. A. A. Lindsey, VINO for year
past has resided in Portland. Mrs.
Lindsey is the wife of former state
treasurer of Washington. She is .
graduate of the Michigan university
at Ann Arbor.
The winning poem was mailed to
the publicity committee, signed John
Malcolm Graham" When the judges
announced their decision, no one knew
who John Malcolm Graham" was. the
name not appearing in the Portland
city directory.
Nearly four hundred writer's of
verse throughout the country, some of
them widely known, competed for the
prize. The judges stated that II there
had been a second prize it would have
been awarded to Robertus Love, the
Missouri poet, at present residing in
Portland. His poem is entitled "The
Dream of the Star "a Song of the
Oregon TraiD, and it will be pub
lished shortly in an eastern maya
zine. Mr.. Love, by the way, is the
man who named the Trail. the sug-
gestion being made in a letter from
him to Secretary Reed of the exposi-
ton about two years ago. The fitness
of the name for the amusement street
Of the Exposition lies in its applica.
ton to the famous old Oregon trail,
and hitting the Trail" has become
the familiar slogan of the Fair.
Mrs. Lindsley's poem is deemed
peculiarly fitting for the purpose, as

HENRY LUNSTEDT
DIES SUDDENLY

Henry Lunstedt. former grand sec
retary of the Native Sons and brother
OF Supervisor Theodore Lunstedt, died
early this morning at the Lane Hos
pital. Lunstedt was taken to the Gen.
trail Emergency Hospital yesterday in
an almost dying condition. DR.. Glover
pronounced his case hopeless and he
was removed to the Lane Hospital. He
has been ill for several months and was
rapidly growing to be shadow of his
former self. He rallied a little last
night but at midnight he suffered d
relapse from which he did not recover.
Spinal meningitis was the cause of his
death.
Henry Lunstedt was probably as
widely known as any other man in Cal
ifornia, having held for many years
the position of grand secretary of the
Native Sons of the Golden West, and
during that long period he figured
prominently in all it's affairs. His ill
ness was of short duration and the
news of his death will be received in
all sections of California with deep re-

ST. PETERSBURG, March q, III a.
m.-The latest dispatches from Man
churia indicate that the retreat or the
Russian army is being conducted un-
eventually. The last few. days were
unmarked by any lighting of serious
nature. Both the Russians and the
Japanese at this stage probably are
considering that marching is more i'm.
portant than lighting The Russians,
however, are neglecting no precautions
to impede pursuit and hamper the con-
struction of permanent japanese lines
of supply.
Teluzakoff. an Associated Press cor
respondent, who had been accompany
ing General Rennenkampffs corps or
the Eastern army and whose dispatches
suddenly ceased with the beginning
of the retreat, has arrived. at Gun

early stage of the retirement and in
capacitated from continuing his work.
According to: press dispatch from
Gunshu Pass, the appointment of
General Linexiteh has made good
impression with the army. the new
commander enjoying the affection and
confidence of the troops almost in the
same measure as General Kuropatkin.

TRAVELLERS SUFFERING

HAWAII MEADOWS, via Keeler,
March 14.-Here in the Mojave Desert
the rush of prospectors and spectators
from the southern part Of the State TO
Goldfield can be observed. AS far as
the eye can reach the trail is dotted
with good-seekers. All sorts and condi
tions of men, with outfits loaded into
every conceivable kind of vehicle, may
be seen daily hitting the trail for the
gold fields People who live along the
road between Mojave and Keeler. who
nave heretofore made scanty living
by catering to travellers, are suddenly
becoming rich. Bread may be had at
oo cents loaf, and meals, when pur-
chasable at all, cost from rs cents to 81.
Hay sells for $50 a ton and stock may
be watered for 10 cents a. head.
Recently severe storms have caused
great distress among those who are
crossing the desert. In many places
the roads are impossible even to a
ilght spring wagon In the past week
lt has become a common sight to see
neaYily loaded wagon (and most of. the.
wagons are oyerloaded) mired down to
the hubs and the luckless prospectors
huddled about, wet, cold and disheart-
ened. All along the road numberless
dead horses give testimony. to the scar
city of feed and the severity of the
trip.
Among the many who have met with
hard luck are two experienced horse
traders who left Arizona bound for

KUROPATKIN ON WAY HOME.
Former Chief Is Suffering From Nerve
Exhaustion

ST. PETERSBURG. March 90
The story that General Kuropatkin
remains at the front in command of
General Linevitch's old First Army is
untrue. He is proceeding to Irkutsk.
where he may stop a short time to
recuperate before going to ST. Peters
burg. His nerves are said to be badly
shattered. 1t is again being positively
affirmed that Kuropatkin requested
the Emperor to relieve him.
Emperor Nicholas is almost in daily
conference with General Dragomiroff.
Minister of War Sakharoff and others
on the situation. and the general staff
is energetically at work planning the
reorganization of the army and con-
sidering the ways and means.
Preparations continue, irrespective
of the possibilities of peace, for DEM
onstration of Russia's ability to prose-
cute the war. which is regarded as
vital whether peace negotiations be-
gin or not.

Sad Leave Taking
of General Ku-
ropatkin.

GUNSHU PASS, March 20. morning
The last two days have been utterly
without incident, except for the re-
moval of the censor to Kudzihu Pass
The Russian rear guard is retreating
slowly and engaging in occasional
skirmishes. 1t has now reached a po-
sition twenty seven miles north of Tie
Pass. The Japanese are slowly ad-
vancing, without pressing the Rus
slams. In the course of the retreat the
Russians are destroying bridges. the
railway roadbed and highways and
carrying off stores and demolfshing
buildings and everything not portable,
Reports of wide turning movement
by the Japanese are no longer being
received. There is increasing difficulty
in securing reliable information beyond
the limits within which scouting par
ties are active on account of the de-
fection of many Chinese to the Jap
anese side. Many natives who have
been employed as servants by Russian
officers have run away and other con-
sequences of the evacuation of Mukden
are noticeable lin the. attitude of the
Chinese. -
The troops parted in sadness with
6SneTdi hurOpdlk1I, whose laDOrS In
shaping the army are recognized and
who was ever attentive to the wants
of the soldiers in the matter of food,
clothing and shelter. Regardless of the
fact that he had been commander-in-
chief. General Kuropatkin offered to
remain here as subordinate of Gen
eral Linevitch and as commander of a
corps.
General Linevitch who also enjoys
the respect and confidence of the troops
as fighter, is determined to initiate
reform by wedding out the overloaded
staff and other administrative depart
ments,s and is taking other steps which
it is believed will result in economy
as we'll as increasing the efficiency of
the army.
The Red Cross depot, under the au-
spices of Grand Duchess Elizabeth,
widow of Grand Duke Sergius, is do
ing excellent work in providing officers
who lost their effects in the retreat
from Mukden with linen and other
necessaries. Some officers who are now
being supplied with outfits had had no
change of linen since February %.
