LEWISTON, April 13-Tne solicit
ing committee for the electric railroad
from Lewiston to Grangeville and
Nez Perez had approximately $4,000
subscribed when the days work was
completed last evening. The day with
the committee was a most successful
one and the work will be carried on
until the citizens of Lewiston will all
have had an opportunity to assist in
the project. The interest in the pro-
ject is increasing from day to day and
the most encouraging reports are re-
ceived from the upper country In
the city the people are showing the
disposition to subscribe as literally as
conditions will permit and there is
now no doubt that . a handsome sum
will be pledged in Lewiston before the
work is fairly started in the country
districts.

TOXIC, March 1.-THE Japanese
wedge driven through the Russian CEN
ter on the Hun River continues to ad-
vance northward. 1t has already ar
rived at Hampu, some distance north
east of Mukden.
1t is reported that the Russians are
retiring northward along the railway,
evidently very badly confused, being
caught between the wedge and the ex-
treme Japanese left, northwest Of
Mukden They have been heavily pun
ished during their retreat along the de-
scribed route, the Japanese shelling the
disordered masses of the Russians.
Minister of War Teraoutchi has tele-
graphed his congratulations to Field
Marshal Oyama and the officers and
men of his army on their victory. Field
Marshal Oyama, in reply. ascribes his
success to the Emperor and the gal
lantry and bravery of his officers and
men.
The full extent of the Russian dis
aster is still unknown here 1t is
known however, that the casualties
and losses in guns and munitions of
war are enormous. Even approximate
figures are unobtainable as yet. 1t is
expected that the prisoners will num-
Der many thousands. Local estimates
of the number taken vary from 10000
to so 0o0
1t is estimated by the general staff
that the Russian forces engaged in
the present battle number 100000 infan-
try and $4,000 cavalry, with 1863 guns.
The estimates of the infantry allows
376 battalions, with an average of 800
men to each.
The following dispatch from the
headquarters of the Japanese armies in
the field was made public to-day:
<.In the Singking direction our
forces are now attacking a superior
force of the enemy occupying the
northern height near Fushun. All our
forces in the Shakhe River direction
entirely dislodged the enemy on the
right bank of the Hun River on Fri
day and surrounded the enemy on
the east and north of Mukden.
According to several reports since
noon on March 10, the Russians filed

Thousands upon thousands of Rus

upon them, infiicting heavy damage.

specific portions of the Russian
army to the fate of their Port Arthur
brethren. 1t appears best to await au-
thentic information before jumping at
conclusions.
In Russia's dark hour of defeat the
influential newspapers raise no voice,
number of them attribute the major
portion of the blame for long series
OF reyerses not to military causes, but
to the faulty internal organization of
the country. The, Novoe Vremya, in a
burst of bitterness, lays all at the door
OF the bureaucracy, as was the case
In the Crimean war.
KUROPATKIN's DISPATCH.
The dispatch received from General
kuropatkin. which is timed 6 D. M.
March 10, says:
The retreat of the army was very
angerous-especially trying for those
corps which were some distance from
the Mandarin road. The japanese pen
etrated far into the mountains in the
direction of Tawan. They threatened
our troops, but thanks to extraordi-
nary efforts, our armies are out of
danger.
The enemy cannonaded the route of
our retreat from the east and west.
The Eastern Mandarin road was bonn
barded at two points, near Tawan and
the Pu River.
Our troops are very brave
The reason the japanese advanced
so successfully from the south is that
the Hun River, which is covered by
our position at Mukden, was frozen
over.
General Zervitsky is wounded, but
remains at the 'front.'
PART OF ARMY SURROUNDED.
The previous dispatch received by
Emperor Nicholas from General Kuro-
patkin, given out last night, in addi-
tion to announcing the retreat of the
Russian armies, added:
Our retreat is being conducted with
the enemy harassing both our flanks.
The Second army, under Bilderling,
has suffered the heaviest, both in
killed. wounded and prisoners How
many are surrounded is unknown"
The army was still in danger when
Kuropatkin telegraphed. but the situa-
ton is better than the public be-
ilieved.
IT was reported in the military clubs
this afternoon that General Kuropat-
kin had lost 800 guns and about 10000
prisoners, besides about the same num-
ber of killed and wounded.
The temper of the imperial family
can perhaps be judged by Grand Duke
Vladimir's response when asked what
would be Russia's reply to General
kuropatkin's defeat.

disputable testimony of General Ku-

The battle still centered north of the
Imperial tombs, with occasional shots
along the Hun River, where later an
opening permitted the japanese to
make a quick advance and dash toward
their main operation with the purpose
of concentrating and cutting off the
Russians.
At 1880 o'clock the japanese had
partly succeeded. for at Tawan, with
shrapnel they shelled three sides of a
rectangle, where the main army was
moving with great exertion over in
adequate thoroughfares. The Japanese,
however, accomplished at this place
nothing more than momentary stam-

This retreat must be reckoned as a

WHAT SULPHUR DOES
For the Human Body In Health and
Disease.

The mention OF sulphur will recall
to many of US the early days when our
mothers and grandmothers gave Us
our daily dose Of sulphur and mo-
lasses every spring and fall.
1t was the universal spring and rall

and mind you, this old fashioned rem
edy was not without merit
The idea was good, but the remedy
was crude and unpalatable and
large quantity had TO be taken to get
any effect.
Nowadays we gt. all the beneficial
effects of sulphur in a palatable, con-
centrated form. so that a sfnS-le grain
Is far more effective than table

In recent years research and ex-
pertinent have proven that the best
sulphur for medicinal use Is that OBJ

the name of Stuart's Calcium Waters.
They are small chocolate coated pei
lets and contain the active medicinal
principle of sulphur in a highly con-
eentrated. effective form.
Few people are aware OF the value
OF this form Of sulphur in restoring
and maintaining bodily vfgor and
health: sulphur acts directly on the
liver and excretOry organs and puri-
ffes and enriches the blood by the
prompt elimination Of waste material.
Our grandmothers knew this when
they dosed US with sulphur and mo-
iasses every spring and fall. but the
erudity and tmpurity of ordinary
flowers Of sulphur were often worse
than the disease and cannot conpara
with the modern concentrated Dren

surprised at the results obtained from
Stuart's Calcium Waters. In patients
suffering from boils and pimples and

repeatedly seen them dry up and dis

the skin clear and smooth. Although
Stuart's Calcium Waters is a proprie-
