Tie Pass Invested.

That the Japanese army has invest
ed Tie Pass seems sure, and if so
Kuropatkin would have no alternative
except surrender The rushing onset
OF the Japs is shown by the fact that
Nogi's army made forced march of
25 miles daily, and acting in conjunc-
ton with Gen. Oku's army. surround
ed 10000 Russians in the direction of
Tie Pass and cut off their supplies.
The hurrying Japanese armies passed
a division of Russians without giving
it any attention until the enveloping
movement was completed. when they
crushingly attacked the Russians on
all sides. The railroad between Tic
Pass and Mukden has been cut by the
Japanese. The retreat of the Russian
center seems more like rout than a
retreat by well handled army. The
continuous battle is already the blood
lest Of the war. Upon the ground
that Gen. Oku alone gained lie 5000
Russian dead. The reports from the
armies are expected to triple this fig
ure. IL Is estimated that the Japan.
ese have lost 10000. making the Joint
slaughter far exceed 100000 men

FOR CONSIDERATION
BY THE THOUGHTFUL,
A Tribute to Weather Conditions
In Western Canada.

During the early portion Of Febru-
airy, of this year, the middle and
Western States suffered severely with
the intense cold and winters storms.
Trains were delayed. cattle suffered,
and there was much general hardship.
While this was the case, throughout
Western Canada, now attracting 50
much attention, the weather was per-

One correspondent writes, we are
enjoying most beautiful weather, the
gentlemen are going to church with
out top coats, while the ladies require
no heavier outer clothing than that
afforded by light jackets. In contrast
with this it is interesting TO read in a
st Paul paper of 18th February the
following, in double head lines, and
large bold-faced type:

Pe-ru.na Contains No Narcotics.

One reason why Peruna has found
permanent use in so many homes is that
it contains no narcotic of any kind.
Peruna is perfectly harmless. 1t can
be used any length of time without ac-
quiring drug habit. Peruna does not
produce temporary results. 1t is perma-
nent in its effect.
II has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by re-
moving the cause of catarrh. There are
multitude of homes where Peruna has
been used off and on for twenty years.
Such thing could not be possible If
Peruna contained any drugs of a mar
cotic nature.

THE STATE LEGISLATURE.

An appropriation OF $500 for the
Pioneer and Historical society is asked
for in a bill introduced by Senator
Glasgow.
Senator Doherty has introduced a
bill which provides for the levying Of
tax Of per cent on every policy is,
sued by an Incorporated life msur-
ance company.
Among the measures passed by the
senate is one submitting to the people
an amendment 10 the constitution per-
hitting the state 10 appropriate money
for the improvement of roads.
So little has been done in Monday
night sessions of the legislature tins
year that some members believe they
may as well be cut Off Representa-
tive Lowell, of Berrien county, has in
troduced a concurrent resolution that
hereafter the legislature shall begin
its weekly grind Tuesday morning at
o'clock, instead Of Monday evening.
Warden Fuller, of the lonia reforma-
tory, proposes that the number Of pris-
oners in state institutions be kept at
a lower point and that hnperinten-
dents be made ex-ofllcio members OF
the pardon board. He points out that:
Under the old law the courts fire.
uuently imposed a sentence of six
months for burglary, and if the pris-
oner made good time he was released
at the end Of five months. The courts
must now impose a maximum sentence
OF fifteen years. and the prisoner must
serve that unless sooner released by
pardon OF parole.
These changed conditions will fill
the prisons Of Michigan beyond their
present capacity inside of two years,
unless releases by parole or otherwise
shall be greatly increased. and the tax
payers will be called upon to contrib
ute half a million dollars for new
prison"

Senator Runner, however, thinks
lighter sentences would save filling up
the prisons to overlooking. One para
graph of his bill reads: Every sem
tence of any person hereafter convict
ed of crime, except of a person SEN
fenced fer life, or a child under Is
years of age, shall be left 10 the dis
erection Of the court as hereinafter pro-
vided. The term of any prisoner so
convicted and sentenced shall not ex-
coed the maximum term provided by
law for the crime for which the pris-
oneT was convicted and sentenced, but
may be for a shorter term, as the court
may direct. and no prisoner shall be
discharged until after he shall have
served at least onc-half of the term
provided by law for the crime for
which he was convicted"
The senate has passed Senator Lins-
ley's bill which provides for the dis
play Of the United States flag on
school buildings.
Representative Holmes endeavored
