"One day a japanese company in
full strength surrendered as pris-
Oners. The southern temperament
showed itself among the Japanese
in WEAKNESS of war. In letters,
found on the killed, were found ex-
pressions of the WEAKNESS of war;
and there was news of the heavy
taxes which had increased in an ex-
traordinary degree during the war
and the costliness of articles of
prime necessity.
The Japanese could not fail to
be worried by the GOODNESS toward
their successes which began to be
shown by the powers of Europe
and America" says Kuropatkin,

legged distress, because lit was not

SAD SCENE FOR
SEE FAMILY

The family of Alfred See, living
near hartford, have had a very
bad week in their efforts to put
the law on" William c. Slime, a
bachelor on whose ranch the See
family lived for some time. Slime
boarded with his tenants and all
went well until the Sees pur-
chased and prepared to move to
ranch of their own. Then young
William See aud Slime had fall
ing out, ending in a fight in which
Sec came out second hest. See
sued Slime for $4,000 damages for
personal Injuries, but lost his case
this week when ii, came to trial be-
fore a jury in Judge Huneke's
court.
Alfred See about the same time
filed claim for board and services
against Slime, which caused Slime
to file counter claim as an offset.
This case was tried by Judge
Huneke without a jury. Evidence
was introduced to show that See
had boarded Slime so many weeks
at so much per week, while on the
other hand Slime had sold See one
gray horse of the value of SIS, had
"cut and slashed' brush on divers
occasions to the extent of $40, had
at another time loaned See Sc and
rendered other service for the
plaintiff, which when computed by
the court showed that See owed
Slime S49.75 instead of Slime owing
See, as alleged in the original COM
plant. Judgment for $49.75 was
entered by Judge Huneke in favor
of Stine and See was also taxed
with the costs in the case amount
ing TO S55.40.

turn of Is to 20 per cent on the
Investment. The plant is taxed at
81 200.
Present indications are that the
East Spokane system will have
hard shedding in the city council
at the price asked. One council
man last night remarked that he
would not say that he would be
willing to pay $4,000 for the
plant until he is shown that it is
worth that much from a standpoint
of utility as AN addition to the
city's present system. The de-
mand for the purchase of the plant
has been backed by the citizens,
who have been very anxious to
have the city water service ex-
tended ont there since the well
supply has been in use.
The unsatisfactory experience of
the city council in the purchase of
private water systems in the past
will probably lead to a careful con-
sideration of the Herbert PROPOSE
ton. Most of such purchases here
tOfOre have been disastrous for the
city. as the old pipes have had to
be thrown out and new ones in
stalled. The Lidgerwood and
Mantle systems are fair examples
of the citys investments in this
reSDPct.

NEW METHOD rs FEEDING
PA TENTS THROUGH SKIN

A new method of giving food to
patients too i'll to take nourish-
ment in the ordinary way has
been discovered.
"Cataphoresis' is the name given
to the invention, and its author,
Dr. Morgan Dockrell, says: Il I'M
hesitatingly claim that this discOv-
cry inaugurates new era in
medicine
The skin has thousands of
mouths" and the problem Dr.
Dockrell has solved, after 20
years of study, is now to admin
lister food through these myriad
mouths when other methods fail.
"Cataphoresis-the term was
first used by Dubois Raymond-is
performance of work by the cleo
trical current in the process of
electrolysis, which, however, has
no connection with the actual cleo
trolysis,' said DR.. Dockrell.
Since 1S47 certain medicines
have been introduced into the hui
man system by electrical cur
rents, and it has been found that
these currents set up movement
in the same direction as the cur
rent of the tiny particles of mat
ter known as molecules, and it is
this process which is termed
tataphoresis."
During the last 20 years | have
been working at cataphorises, DR.,
Doekrell says, with, in a large
number of cases, the most satisfac-
tory results, results for which |
and many medical men and pa
tents throughout the country can
vouch.'
The method of treatment is as
follows:
An ointment containing medicine
or food is first smeared over some
convenient part of the body such
as the arm or hand, the patient
holding in his hand an electrode
attached to the positive pole OF a
battery, in which Is placed a
sponge saturated with carbonate OF
soda.
In the other electrode wet
sponge is fixed, leaving dry the
free end, which comes into contact

kUROPATkIN'S HISTORY.
Special corrsspc ldence to The Press

Special Corraspc idence to The Press
NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-"The re-
| suits of the premature conclusion
of peace at Portsmouth, by which
Japan was recognized as the con-
queror of Russia on the continent
of Asia, will nquestionably be
painful, not only for Russia, but for
all the powers who have posses
sions or business interests in Asia.
The Yellow Peril whose appear
ance has only recently been for
seen, has now arrived
This astonishing statement is
made by General Alexie Kuropat-
kin, commander of the Russian
army during. the Russo-Japanese
war, in an article from the sup
pressed-history Of the war, in Nc
Clure's magazine, published today.
Japan is feverishly augmenting
her forces he says. China, I'M
der the guidance of Japanese Off
GERS, is forming numerous army
on the Japanese model.
The twentieth century is bound
to bring a terrible conflict in Asia
between Christian and nonChris-
tan races
General Kuropatkin's article is
written TO prove that Russia might
have served to avert this struggle
that he forecees by wiping out the
Japanese army during the last war.
Russia was ready, he says, to do
this, with a million and a half men.
Never in our military history"
he writes, has Russia sent out
forces of such strength as in Sep
TENDER, 1905, when we unexpect-
eddy received the fatal news that
an agreement between our repre-
sentatives and the Japanese had
been reached at Portsmouth
General Kuropatkin hopes that,
with an understanding with Euro
pean powers, Russia will be given
an opportunity to use all her armed
forces in a fight with Japan, or
with Japan and China"
''In a very short time China and
Japan will be ready to throw into
Manchuria an army of more than a
million and a half armed men," he
says.
Supporting his statement that
Russia could have whipped Japan
at the time peace was declared, and
that future historians must say
that victory was assured to Rus
STA General Kuropatkin says that,
by August, 1905, the Japanese army
was as good as routed.
More men than Japan's whole
standing peace army of 10000 had
been sent to their graves by Rus
sian soldiers. There were over
$4,000 Japanese dead. Japan's
$4,000 reserves We're disheart-
ened;; its credit was impaired.
TO all appearances the Japa-
nese were troubled even as to how
they could secure ammunition for
their artillery.
Later Russia knocked out,

necessary" says Kuropatkin. 1.-The
women will make fun of u.s., they
said to me more than once
The army of Russia, for the first
time since the opening of the war,
was filed to it's complement. 1t
had received machine guns and bat
teries of howitzers; field railways
insured the transportation of sup
plies to the army; telephones and
telegraphs were on hand and the
wireless telegraph had at last ar
rived. The transportation depart
ment had been enlarged and the
sanitary condition of the army was
excellent
Kuropatkin closes his article by
declaring that Russia herself must
improve before her army can be
any better. A military uniform
now, does not designate valor. The
word general means nothing The
best men do not go into the army;
the higher officers are promoted
the less practice they havei II com
handing troops. Soldiers are not
kept sufficiently well clad. Too lit
tie has been done in the schools to
encourage patriotic spirit.
General Kuropatkin sees hope.
I'VE cannot doubt that Russia,
summoned to a new life by her
monarch, will speedily recover
from her temporary shock"
