suit, attacked the enemy's position at
the southern end of Liaoyangwopeng
and to the eastward and we completely
occupied Liaoyangwopeng.
Our right column, after driving the
enemys cavalry before it, occupied
Lochuanpu. nine miles east of Liayang-
wopeng. This column again shelled the
enemy's cavalry retreating to the
northward. inficting heavy injury. The
enemy was finally thrown into great
confusion.

Man In The kitohsn.

The helplessness of mere man in
the presence of ordinary domestic
tasks was illustrated in the case of
the old miner, who explained that he
had once tried to improve his cook
ing by studying a book of recipes.
1T was no use" he sadly confessed,
"because every one Of them receipts
starts off with Take a clean dish "
lie was kin to one of the sons Of
Mrs. Dunsmuir, a Scotchwoman liv-
ing in Pennsylvania. She was called
away from home one day just after
dinner AS she was leaving she said
to the boys:
Gone of you must wash the dishes
and the other wipe them and put
them away, so that everything will
be tidy by the time / get back"
"All right, mother" said Jack.
''But Wits got to wipe them. I'm

eAINsBOROueH. The ARTIST.
He Painted Portraits For a Living and
Landscapes For Pleasure.

Gainsborough, while painting por-
traits for living, painted land
scapes for his own pleasure and lived
at Hampstead during the summer
that he might be constantly in fell
lowship with nature. 1t was this
love of nature and Of simple things
and the faculty Of seeing beauty in
them that gave such choice dis
tinction 10 his work, because it was
the expression Of his own simple,
lovable personality. He had beauty
IN himself, and all his life it fed on
simple dehghts-the Joys Of nature.
Of domestic happiness, Of music and
Of his own art.
lie was born in the little town Of
Sudbury, on the river Stour, in the
beautiful county Of Suffolk. AS a
boy he loved TO ramble in the coun-
try, sketching, and showed so much
inclination for IL and so little for
any other kind Of study that when
he was fifteen he was sent to Lon
don and placed under the care of
silversmith, who procured him ad-
mission to the st. Martins Lane
academy. Here he worked for three
years studying painting. Gains
borough's eighteenth year was an
eyentful one He hired three rooms
in Hatton gardens and set up as a
painter on his own account. Meet
ing with little encouragement, he re-
turned to Sudbury. There he fell a
victim to the charms Of a young
lady of seventeen, Miss Margaret
Burr, who had an annuity of 1000,
married her and established himself
in the country town Of Ipswich.
Here he worked on happily and
quietly for fifteen years, continual
ly studying in the open air and exc
cutting such small commissions for
portraits as came to him, until he
had succeeded in discovering for
himself a manner of painting suited
to his needs and had developed an
extraordinary skill.
In 1860 he moved to Bath, at that
time the most fashionable city out
side of London. The gay world Of
that time congregated there to drink
the waters. Gainsborough's success
was immediate, but with increasing
wealth there was no alteration in his
simple method of living.-Charles

Russian Peasants.

There is one European country in
which the traveller may find people
dressed in every particular exactly
as they were generations ago. That
is Russia. In its more unfrequented
districts the peasant type has ad-
vanced scarcely at all. The people
are almost as they were before the
Tartar invasion. The women wear
the quaint national costume, which
is gradually disappearing elsewhere
in Russia, as it is in other countries,
and the tall, bearded men show no
marks Of modern civilization either
in habits or garb.

FRESNO, Dec. 20.--The southbound
overland struck a handcar a mile north
of the San Joaquin river this evening
and John r. Mortos, section hand
was killed. SO angry We're the mer
who were with Mortos that they threw
stones through the car windows.
The four men-Mortos, John Christie
pulos, Peter Caller and Spear Arormor-
tos-had ridden from Herndon, where
they worked, to MADEIRA to cash theil
pay checks. They were returning wher
they were struck from behind by the
overland. All but Mortos managed tc
jump. Mortos was dragged for one
hundred yards his brains scattered, his
right arm and his legs cut off.
The train stopped and backed to the
scene of the tragedy. The three Greeks
who had jumped to safety were wild
with grief. They threw stones and
broke about forty windows. The train
had to pull away in order to save itself
from further damage. The Greeks
would have nothing to do with the
trainmen. Several passengers finally
persuaded them to board the train and
come to Fresno. The body of Mortos
was brought here. His right arm could
not be found.
Christopulos, Caller and Arormortos
are in Jail here, charged with malicious
mischief.

KILLS HIS FORMER PARTNER
Colorado Cattleman Ends Feud With
Murder and Quickly Conn

BY Associated Press.
DENVER. Dec. 2O.-In the lobby of
the Lewiston hotel late this afternoon.
William Wilson, a cattleman, was shot
and instantly killed by ]. D. Henderson,
former partner Turning the weapon
upon himself, Henderson fired a bullet
through his breast and expired in the
arms of officers who had seized him.
Wilson and Henderson were partners
in the cattle business many years ago,
The partnership was dissolved and
Henderson, it is stated, had ever since
continued to charge Wilson with de-
frauding him in their final settlement.
Two years ago Henderson made an at
tempt upon the life of his former part
ner.
The two men met today directly in
front of the Lewiston hotel and Hen
derson, without a moments warning,
pulled a revolver from his pocket. Will
SON ran into the lobby and was about
to seek shelter behind a pillar when
his pursuer fired.
Two bullets pierced Wilson'S body and
he rolled over upon the floor. BY this
time officers were advancing upon Hen
derson, but before they had fairly
seized him he had ended his life by
his own hand.

HEAVY LOSS
Flames Damage Property at Salt Lake
to Amount of Nearly a Quarter Of
Million Dollars-Many Men Are
Thrown Out of Employment
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SALT LAKE, Dec. 20.--The extensive
repair shops of the Rio Grande Western
were found to be on fire at 1890 to-
night. All the fire apparatus in the
city was called out, but the flames
were beyond control and threatened to
extend to the freight yards.
Although they could not make much
headway against the blaze the firemen
succeeded in confining it to it's original
locality.
The power house and main car shop
burned to the ground, but the great
machine shop, paint shop and other
buildings standing at distance were
unharmed.
The loss is estimated tonight at from
S150,OOO to 100000 and 200 men will be
thrown out of employment. The build
ings themselves were of little value but
the machinery equipment was worth
nearly 100000, and several cars were
destroyed in the shops. The loss is par
ticularly unfortunate at this time as
the equipment had been increased in
order to handle the great amoun. of
extra work which is necessitated by
the work in the Western Pacific. The
fire started in the engine room, and
that is the only information obtainable
tonight.

GREATEST STRUGGLE IS ON
Russian Government Loses Control Of
Situation

BY Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG. Dec. 20. 1:20 p.
m.-The calling of general strike has
created the most intense excitement.
If it can be successfully begun and
maintained the revolutionaries are con-
fdent that it will break the govern
ment's back.
In government circles, however, con-
fidence is expressed that the proletariat
organizations cannot effect Il complete
tie up and that the strike must be of
short duration. This hope seems based
on the theory that the extreme program
of the reds has alienated the sympathy
of a large proportion Of the real work
men, and also upon what they claim to
be absolute knowledge that the or
ganzations are without funds.
The governments calculations have
proved at variance with the true situa-
tion in the past and the strike leaders
declare that the government is again
hopelessly ignorant of the magnitude of
