Russians, Trapped in

Bandits Turn Tables on
PurSuerS, Cutting Off

ST. PETERSBURG. April S--Five
hundred Cossacks, with a squad OF
Russian sharpshooters and a machine
gun battery. are lighting for their lives
against thousands Of Kurds in the
Kashaga Dagh mountain region, just
across the Persian boundary.
North of them a reinforcing army OF
twice their number IS trying TO get men
and guns across the flooded Aras river
TO aid them. Unless relief reaches the
vanguard quickly, the commander Of the
re-enforcements cOrfesses that the en-
tire body is doomed.
To the west OF the scene Of the con-
hict Lieutenant General MitchenlHo. gov
ernor general OF Tihis, is marshahng
Russian troops along the Turkish. from
tier, in hourly expectation Of an attack
by the Sultan's forces.
News Of the fighting already in
progress, and Of tire threatened spread
OF hostilities. comes partly from the
commander OF the force on the Aras
river bank; partly from General Nit
chenko.
TIE commander himself knows little
OF what is happening at the front. Cen
eraI Mitchenko IS full in his reports.
The Cossacks in the mountain country
crossed the frontier to punish the
Kurdish bands which have recently
been raiding Russian border towns,
numbering the inhabitants. cutting or
small bodies Of Russian soldiers and steal
ing arms and ammunition-more precious
10 them even than the money. goods
and f1oclks looted from the Muscovite
villages.
Tho pre-ioD cavalry md machine
guns made a clean sweep of the enemy
at first. battered down a number Of
small towns. and plunged into the noun
tains in pursuit Of the fleeing Kurds.
The latter rallied as soon as they
reached their highland Businesses. They
number thousands Of well-armed and
semi-disciplined men. The invaders
pursuit was first checked. and then
turned into a retreat. This was soon
cut OF.
Penned in on all sides, they are hold
ing their own with the machine guns
and repeated fierce charges. The Kurds
are moved down in heaps. but the Rus
sian force is so vastly outnumbered that
It is only a question OF time now long It
can continue the resistance
The commander has reached the main
body with several messages begging i'm
mediate assistance, and every effort is
being made to get help TO him in time.
From the Persian side the Shah is Or

The Russian military force in the re-

But Worth the Effort

1t was good 10 see the way In which

Quentin Roosevelt and Charley Taft
hadn't BEEN on the Madrids. there would
have been a different tale TO tell. but
they were right there. and there every
minute Of the game Quentin played
center field. and. though he did not get
many opportunities 10 cover his posi-

was under Il every clip. One OF the
sensations OF the game occurred in the
seventh. when Roosevelt's quick play 10

final score was Il to Il. and the police

witnessed the game said II was one of

the third for the winning team.
The first time they went on the dia-

Now they are Just spelling 10 get on

Plateaus were outcsassed And when
the game was started the way IN which
Roosevelt had the opposition pitcher
puzzled was a caution. Perhaps it was
fear Of the Presidents son: perhaps it
was Overzealousness. Whatever the
cause. he fell to pieces every time Quen-
tin went 10 the bat
The official scorer did not credit
Roosevelt with any hits, but the record
shows that he went 10 first three times
on balls. and once when the pitcher
planted a ball in his sid. instead OF
over the home plate. The force OF :he
blow was not sufficient To hurt Quentin
IL the least. but seemed only TO put
more speed into his nimbIe feet. Every
time the pitcher seEt him 10 first with
Wild throws the AIadrids cheered nobly
and the Plateaus were correspondingly
doNncast.
Young Taft made one hit and covered
the first bag IN a way that would have
done credit to a Cub or a Tiger. The
triple play in the fourth. made BY
Campbell. Noack ani Remsburs. Was
really the beginning OF the end for the
Plateaus. Though they werc well

With determined Democrats al his
back and Republicans shouting ridicule
at him, John Sharp Williams, the minor
ity leader OF the House, offered Speaker
Cannon deliberate affront in The cen
ter aisle Of the chamber in fIN view
OF the members and the galleries last
evening when an adjournment was
taken.
Williams refused 10 shake the hand OF
the Speaker, and Cannon. surprised by
the repulse. flushed deeply. and. turning
abruptly, rapidly left the House

Cannon did not hear Williams de-
mand q division Of the House on Repre-

and while Williams was demanding a

settled upon the House when Cannon's
purpose was seen. spoke IN an angry
tone interrupting the Speaker with:

beyond the bounds Of a joker
Without more ado williams put his
hands into his pockets. turned his back
upon Cannon and walked up the aisle.
The Speaker. utterly taken abacl

he had best do, and then turned and

Mr.. John Morris, father-in-law
to DR.. Ed Clingan. who was re-
ported to have stabbed his wife
and committed suicide at Wal

a doctor in that section by the
name of Borum who had stabbed
his wife and committed suicide
in the early part of July, but
that no such deed had been COM

WHAT the KIDNEYS DO.
Their Unc e asing Work
Keeps Us Strong And
II lthy.

All the blood in the body passes thru
the kidneys once every three minutes.
Fhe kidneys filter the blood. They
work day and night. When healthy
they remove about 500 grains of i'm
pure matter daily, when unhealthy
some part of this impure matter is left
in the blood. This brings on many
diseases and symptoms, pain the back,
headache, nervousness, hot, dry. skin,
rheumatism. gout, gravel, disorders of
the eyesight and hearing, dizsiness,
irregular beart, debility, drowsiness,
dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc. But
if you keep the filters right you will
have no trouble with your kidneys.

NEXT CONVENTION
AT HOT SPRINGS
Hoo Hoos Will Probably
Meet In Hot Springs
In 1909.

Little Rock, Aug. II. Moth
ing is too big for Hot Springs to
try for, in the way Of a conven-
ton. and already the boosters of
that city are making an effort to
and the next annual meeting of
the Hoo Hoos; which is to be
held in September 1909. This
matter has been taken up with
J. H. Carmichael, Shark of tais
district, and he has promised to
support Hot Springs with all his
energy, on the floor of the con-
vention to be held in Chicago
next month. Hot Springs is
only short way from Gurdon,
the birthplace Of the order, and
the Hot Springs people offer
pilgrimage to that town if the
meeting Of 1908 is held there.
The annual convention for 1909
was fixrd for Seattle in the Okla
homa convention two years ago,
but the entertainment features
which were offered were allowed
to drop, and it is thought some
place will be selected Tor the
1909 meeting. If so. Arkansas
will have the call, especially as
it lost the 1907 convention by
such a small margin to allow the
convention to go east one year.
If Hot 2prings secures the con-
vention, it will mean the pilgrim

PLATES Will 60
TO HOSPITAL
Reports Will Be Stored In
The Old State
Building.

Not because they are not in
the best of health but be-
cause they are so corpulent as to
make it dangerous to store them
in the old State house, is the rea-
son why the plates from which
the new editions of the old Su-
preme court reports are made,
are to be stored in the old hospit-
al near the new State Capitol.
TIE plates weigh 60, GOO pounds
and it was feared to undertake
to store them in the old State
house, for fear their weight
would crush through the decay
ing floors. It was suggested
that they be stored in the new
State Capitol but on examination
it was found impracticable to
store them there, because of the
difficulty Of ingress. There was
also some hint to the effect that
perhaps the new building had
better not be used until turned
over by the contractors.
At any rate. Earl Hodges, state
printing clerk, after a visit to
the new capitol grounds this
morning decided it would be the
proper thing to store the plates
in a portion of the old hospital as
there is plenty of room there and
sufficient protection from wealth
er exposure.
The reports themselves. to the
number of several thousand vol
umes, will be stored in the old
State house, at least for the pres
ent.
