All these attacks we're repulsed with

There is little news Of Gen. Kuro-

cavalry division with twelve quick

Winnipeg, Man., March 7.-Nicholas
Pothakos, a Greek workman employed
on the coal docks, was brutally MUIR
dered last night on Christie street,
Fort Williams. Pothakos was going
home with his son, aged ten, and when
in the rear of Finnish boarding
house was grabbed by two men. One
held Pothakos while the second
plunged a knife deep into his breast.
The murderers escaped. Pothakos
stumbled a few yards and then fell
dead. The boy gave the alarm and
later identified Finlander, Jacob
Candova, as the man who stabbed his
father. The suspected is twenty.one
years Of age and denies all knowledge
of the crime. The Greek colony is
greatly excited over the tragedy.

st. Petersburg, March 1.-THE fate
of Gen. Kuropathin and his army
hangs in the balance, depending on
the result of the fighting almost in the
outskirts of Mukden. According to
latest reports this morning the fight
ing went we'll for the Russians, who
beat back the wave that threatened to
roll over Mukden as it had over the
Notifications of Port Arthur; but moth
ing is known as to what is going on be-
yond the line of breakers, whether
part of Gen. Nogi's force is in full
career for Tie pass or whether the
Japanese have staked all in cast
against Mukden. The imminence Of
the peril on the west wing has with
drawn attention from the operations
on the center and left, where the fight
ing has been
Extremely Heavy,
and on the left especially where the
Japanese gains are sufficiently great
to cause apprehension to themselves.
A feature Of all accounts of the fight
ing reaching St. Petersburg is the en-
phasis laid on the awful carnage.
There is reference after reference to
dead piled high on the ground over
which the attack was delivered, strew-
ing breastworks, almost hiding abatis
from sight and even being used by the
Japanese to construct hasty intrench'
ments. The Russian losses on both
TANKS are conceded to. be enormous.
but it is claimed that defenders Of the.
center suffered comparatively little by
the Japanese bombardment and beat
ing off the Japanese attack.

FAIR PLAY.

The Staunton Spectator, in IA recent
editorial, hits Senators Martin and
Daniel rap for their opposition to
Mr.. Bryan at the Sc. Louis Conven.
ton, and declares that the Demo Gratis
OF Virginia will elect no man TO the
United States Senate, who deserted
Mr. Bryan at st. Louis.
A great many people will agree with
the Spectator that Senators Daniels
and Martin deserve the "rap," but the
Spectators attention is called to the
fact, which seems TO have been forgot.
ten, that Governor Montague, the idol
OF the Spectator, is authoIitatively re-
ported to have said that Mr.. Bryan's
course at st. Louis was "vengeful
vindictive, and impudent." That all
three Of these critics deserve TO be
raped is true, and the Spectator
should have been fair enough to have
included all OF them, or TO have kept
quiet. Every body likes fair play.

Letter to c. II. Reynolds.
farewell, Va.

Dear Sir: A gallon saved is 81 or So
earned. Devoe saves 2 or 3 gallons
in 10. How much is it worth gallon?
A gallon saved saves the painting
too; and both together cost 81 or So
S4 where labor is cheap; 50 where
labor is dear.
Our agents in Bridgeport, Conn,
Hubbell & Wade Co. tell us: There
are a 6Teat many workingmen's houses
here. They used to paint lead and =
oil and take ten gallons. We have
been selling them ten gallons Devoe
lead-and zinc. and have had, i'm every
instance, two gallons returned" Che
proportion is often higher .than that
we have known it five i'm ten; but that
is exceptional.
This is the explanation: Devoe is
ground by machinery, and is groun d

and isn't ground at all.

state offices that they declare their
positions on the public school book

years ago, for single list They are
tired and worn out with a useless
waste OF their money in school books.
1t is no exaggeration, this paper be-

Board, can get the support OF the
voters in this bailiwick who favors q
