He has removed enough hair and
whiskers from Jerseyites to fill a boil

Hensche has used up a ton Of toilet
soap, three hogsheads Of bay rum, 1000
pounds of powder and $4,000 bottles of

HISTORIC DESKS
MAY Be MARKED
Senators Consider Plan to Place
Tablets or Name Plates on
Furniture.

Washington, March ga proposition
has been made for chronological his
tories showing the occupants Of desks
used in the senate: The suggestion is
made by Senator Spooner, who is chair
man Of the committee on rules. His
idea is to have the history engraved
on a small silver plate, to be placed on
each desk.
It was recently found impossible to
determine the precise desk which Dan
iel Webster used. "
In the senate desks are never changed
for new ones. Repairs are made when
necessary, but the original framework
is retained. Senator Cockrel now uses
the desk assigned to Jefferson Davis,
and which was bayonetted by squad
Of Union soldiers who broke into the
senate chamber. The holes were plugged
up and the varnish hid the work Of
the bayonets. The location of the desks
occupied by John G. Calhoun and Hen
ry Clay is never given by the senate
attaches.
The only desk ever permitted to be
taken away from the senate chamber
was that used by Hannibal Hamlin.
A special resolution was passed Civ
ing the widow Of Senator Hamlin per-
mission to take his desk. Mrs. Logan
made a similar request for the desk
used by her husband, but the senate re-
fused it. The desk formerly used by
James G. Blaine is now used by Sena-
tor Hale Of Maine.

Japanese attack finds the battle pro-
gresssing favorably. Its long dura
ton was, expected and it probably will
continue several days more.
The Japanese forces have reached
nearly to Mukden within two miles of
the railway and are bombarding strong
ly. ....
The Russians everywhere are making
a desperate resistance, frequently try
ing offensive operations and arranging
every defensive device of modern war
fare. The fighting resembles siege
more than a field battle.
The past two nights there has been
hard fighting in front and east Of Wi
to-san. The infantry was closely en-
gagged while the Russian batteries
shelled the trenches and star shells were
used to illuminate the battlefield. Hand
grenades are employed freely in close
fighting.
Last night the Russians attempted to
break the Japanese line by crossing the
river west of Wi-to-san, but they were
repulsed.
During the first week of the battle
there was a succession Of snow and
sandstorms from the north blowing con
stantly in the face Of the Japanese
The past three days have been mild and

PICKS TREES FOR
NORTHWEST Use
Federal Forestry Bureau Reports
on Species Best for the
Dakotas. y.s5 :.
1 s ,= +.
BY W. w. Jermane.

Washington, March s.-The forestry
bureau agents selected to investigate
planted groves and natural timber in
the eastern half of the Dakotas and
western third of Minnesota have a de-
tanned report, which will be published
as soon as data can be compiled. They
find that in the area named good lot
Of tree-planting has been done to meet
the requirements Of the timber-culture
acts, and that this work is being car
rieds forward year after year steadily.
A study of the work, however, gives
opportunity for suggestions, which will
greatly improve this work. 1t is found
that the trees usually planted are those
growing naturally in the bottoms of
this region, and that the trees, while
having many admirable qualities, are
in some respects unsuited for the pur-
poses for which the farmers are using
them. On this point a preliminary re-
port by the forestry bureau says:
The ideal tree for planting on the
prairie Is one which Is able to resist eX-
tremes Of drought and temperature, is
free from insect enemies, makes rapid
growth and is at the same time valuable
for. both protective and commercial uses
Some of the conifers or evergreens have
these characteristics in a high degree
and enough planting Of certain species OF
pine, spruce ana larCn mas Deen QOn6 &c
prove their superiority.
For future planting in this section the
bureau will probably recommend the sub
stitution, to a large extent, Of cone
bearing trees for some Of the species
which have been in use. In the past tim
Der value was a secondary consideration
trees were planted for their protective
value and for ornament. But by a proper
choice Of trees a direct profit can also be
reaped. A species which meets CONNER
cial benefit in tree-panting the burea,
will emphasize in its Forthcoming report

The show was over for the night and
good part of the crowd had already

fact that all escaped uninjured.
Before the flames were under con-

With the first burst of smoke cry
of "Fire!'' was raised by some one
in the arena. Instantly there was. a
mad rush toward the doors on the Madi-
son avenue side. Men, women and
children trampled each other in their
race to escape. The orchestra, which
was just playing the strains of Home,

The garden was filed to the roof with

were overcome by smoke and were car
ried into the street by their comrades.
When the fire was under control it
was found that great damage had been

REGIMENTS ANNIHILATED
Fighting West Of Mukden Hottest o:
the Battle. ;&t,

Mukden, March 9.-The outlines of
Field Marshall g Oyama's strategy have
been well defined since March 4. While
maintaining series Of energetic at
tacks on the eastern front and demon
strations on the center, the Japanese
made their principal stroke westward,
the chief effort being in an eandeayyor to
Ma-dia-pu and Firth tai-tzu, thus sew
ering the eastern army and the frontal
force from Mukden, and at the same
time threatening farther advance to
tho northwest to deprive the Russians
of the road by which to retreat to Tie
pass.
Against this plan General Kuropatkin
decided to accept battle, both on the
front and west Of Mukden, and ordered
an attack, beginning at dawn on March
5. There was a terrific artillery fire
teries on the whole ground between
Niu-guan-tun and U-lin-pu: Major Gen
eral Tserpitsky' g battalion fought with
fierce determination, apparently srealiz-
ing that seven miles in the rear, at
Mukden, were it's tons Of commissary
and hospital supplies, parks Of reserve
