Losses In Battle Of Mukden. \
: Gunshu Pass, Manchuria, April &c.
An exact statement of the losses In MI
categories In the battle OF Mukden from
February 10 TO March IA, compiled by
the general stan, shows that the casual
ties we're greatly oyerstated in earlier
reports. Statements from Japanese
sources indicating Wholesale captures OF
prisoners, enormous booty and cannon
are now denied. In reality, it appears
the Russian losses amounted to two gen
erals who we're taken prisoners, 1885
stah and other officers, and 1857 men,
Of whom the greatest part about $4,000
were wounded. In eyacuating Mukden
and retreating TO the northward the |
Russians lost 32 guns. OF which three |
were mortars, three old typo field guns
with piston action aud 70 quick-dre
guns. OF the siege artillery every gun
and all the ammunition carts were sent |
north two days before the retreat be-
gan. Gen. KaTkeyitch. the chief.Of-staff. |
calculates that other losses aside from
wounded were as follows: $4,000 killed. |
1000 10 5000 known to have been cap
tured and 10000 10 10000 missing, OF |
whom several thousand we're drivers,
sanitary and commissarlat corps en-
ployes and other noncombatants. A
very large number we're slightly wound
cd and returned to the ranks, many even |
resorting TO deception in order TO leave |
the hospitals. This would indicate that |
the extent OF the japanese victory and
the disorder OF the Russian retreat have |
been exaggerated and that the spirit Of |
the Russian army is still strong and
the troops not demorallzed.

ottumwa. April 26.--Tne building
OF an electric railway from ottumwa
to Jefferson City, Mo-, Is contemplat-
ed by Chicago syndicate which has
purchased the properties OF the El.
don & st. Louis railway company.
IL Is expected that ultimately the
line will be extended to st. Louis,
Mo-, and to Des Moines, Iowa.
The Chicago capitalists have the
funds to build and equip the road
without issuing any bonds or stock
and It Is expected will begin the pre-
liminary arrangements for the build
ing Of the line in the near future.
The transfer of the properties was
made public today by =. Il. Houg-
land, promoter and secretary OF the
Eldon & St Louis Railway com
pany.
Surveys are Made.
The surveys have been made and
run along the west side OF the Des
Molnes river from Eldon TO ottumwa
lntersecting the Wabash railroad at
a point near this city. The promot-
ers secured permission from the Wa
bash ofiiclals a few years ago to use
the bridge and depot of the com
pany in this city and 1t Is believed
that this plan will be followed out
by the purchasers
The ottumwa-Jeiferso City line is
to be a part OF a big electric system
which Il Is expected will be extend
ed from Jefferson City to st. Louis
and from ottumwa to Des MoInes
by way OF Wright and Oskaloosa.
History Of Road.
J. II. Hougland was the promoter or
the Eldon & st. Louis Railway com
pany, which was organized by EIdon
men In the early part OF 1899. n
was Incorporated March 4. 1899, n
Missouri as the 81. Louis ans Iowa &
Northern Railway company and was
capitalized at $3,000,000.
An offer was made to the officials
Of the Rock Island to help the Ell
don men sell their bonds and operate
the road when built. IL is estimated
that the cost Of building the line at
that time would have been S1,500,-
900, not including the cost Of bridg-
Ing the Missouri river, which It is
thought could have been accom-
plished for 100000. Within two
years It Is said the Rock Island peo-
pie bought the same line that was
offered for 100000 for 100000.

Presidents Thanksgiving
Proclamation.

President Roosevelt has issued the
following Thanksgiving proclamation:
"When nearly three centuries ago
the first settlers came to the country
which has now become this great Re-
public they fronted not only hardship
and privation, but terrible risk to their
lives. In those grim years the custom
grew of setting apart one day in each
year for a special service of thanks
giving to the Almighty for preserving
the people through the changing seasons.
The custom has now become national
and hallowed by immemorial usage.
We live in easier and more plentiful
times than our forefathers. the men
who with rugged strength faced the
rugged days: ard yet the dangers to
national life are quite as great now as
at any previous time in our history.
at is eminently fitting that once
year our people should set apart day
for praise and thanksgiving to the Giver
of Good, and AT the same time that they
express their thankfulness for the
abundant mercies received should man
fully acknowledge their shortcomings
and pledge themselves solemnly and in
good faith to strive to overcome them.
Durlnk Jnc past year we nave Deeii
blessed with bountiful crops. Our busi-
ness prosperity has been great. No
other people has ever stood on as high a
level of material well-being as we now
stand We are not threatened by foes
from without The foes from whom
we should pray to be delivered are our
own passions. appetites and follies; and
against these there is always need that
we should war.
Therefore, now set apart Thursday,
the Both day of this November. as a
day of thanksgiving for the past and of
prayer for the future, and on that day
ask that throughout the land the peo-
Pile gather in their homes and places of
worship. and in rendering thanks unto
the Most High for the manifold bless
ings of the past year corsecrate them
selves to fife of cleanliness. honor and
wisdom, SO that this nation may do its
allotted work on the earth in manner
worthy of those who founded it and of
those who preserved it. 7"

Storms Will Be Frequent.

Rev. Irl Hicks has made the following
predictions for the month of November:
The last storm period of October will
not have wholly subsidized until the LIST
and I'd of November After two or
four days Of cool, fair and frosty wealth
er, about the 5th change to cloudy and
warmer and autumnal rains. probably
ending in snow. will pass eastwardly
over the country during the 9th, 7th and
Sth
The second storm period is central on
the llth and 18th, and the results will
be southerly winds, growing cloudiness
and more autumnal rains. Watch for
the threatening conditions: also for the
change to colder and clearing, freezing
weather at night sure to follow.
The third storm period is central on
the 18th. About the time of this period
it will be wise to expect some storm and
gales. A November cold wave will fol-
low this period.
The fourth storm period is central on
the 22d and 23rd. On about the 22d and
23rd, general storms will be in progress
from west to east with very stormy
weather for the balance of the month.
Ii may be set down as almost an abso-
lutte certainty that wide and violent dis
turbances will appear during the last
two periods.
The fourth storm period will begin as
early as the 25th to 26th. The mercury
period is central on the 26th. the date of
the new moon perigree. A marked
change to the warmer will be advancing
autumnal rains will quickly follow:
Rains will turn to snow and sleet, and
almost a general November blizzard
will come with high barometer, sure
to press close behind the last stages
of the storms.
