Advanced Steadily Into the Corn
field"

the enemy gallantly and suffered Sc
verely. 1t moved over the crest of a
hill behind which the enemy was
posted and received and returned a
heavy fire. The enemy's line was
broken except on the extreme right,
where sunken road formed a natural
rife pit. Col. Barlow quickly changed
front with his consolidated regiments,
send a fearful enfilade fire into this
sunken road, compelled the enemy to
surrender, captured 300 men, eight
commissioned officers and two stand
of colors.
The rest of the brigade advanced
steady into the cornfield, driving the
enemy before it. 1t encountered a
fierce fire of infantry, accompanied by
canister from two batteries. The bri-
gade endured this fire with the great
est steadiness, and Col. Crosf de-
tecting movement of the enemy to
turn the left flank, led the Fifth New
Hampshire forward, and after several
severe volleys drove the enemy back.
The enemy was reinforced, and re-
newed the fight, when the Eighty-first
Pennsylvania went to the assistance
of the Fifth New Hampshire and drove
the enemy back. The Fifth New
Hampshire captured the colors of the
Fourth North Carolina The enemy
was everywhere driven from the front,
when Col. Barlow moved by the right
oblique to a hill about 300 yards dis
tant, where he attacked the enemy
and drove them The confederates
made an effort to break the line i'll
the center, but were again bloodily re.
pulsed, and the brigade moved for
ward, driving the enemy entirely out
of the cornfield and through the or
chard beyond. Col. Barlow fell
wounded by a canister in the groin

NEWSPAPERS in China.

Two years ago the Peking Gazette
celebrated it's millenary. Originally it
appeared at intervals and in a very
rudimentary form. Today it is modern,
its diurnal publication being three edi-
tions. Great changes have been made
in so years, and since the Boxer rebel
lion the number and boldness of the
newspapers have increased. There
are seven different styles of writing,
viz, the ancient, the literary, the flow
cry, the common, the "demi-vulgaire," !"
the familiar and the epistolary. The
papers for the people are printed in
the common style and some have
adopted the new alphabet sanctioned
by the government. Greater reverence
is shown to the press in China than
in other countries. Old papers are
never put to base uses, they are col
lected and burned In the pagodas. The
Chinese believe that proclamation of
newspapers is followed by blindness.

BUSINESS IS FAIR.
Unsettled Feeling Prevailing for Som,
Time Past Has Been AlIayed
to Some Extent.

New York.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S week.
ly review of trade says:
The unsettled and apprehensive
feeling prevailing for some time past
in the financial markets, resulting in
declining prices, has been allayed to
some extent, although there has been
disappointing check to the buoyant
movement existing in mercantile lines
at the beginning of the year. The
causes of the financial recession were
partly economic, partly political. 1t
is to be noted, however, that the effect
upon the industrial and mercantile
situation has been slow, and in some
parts of the country it was hardly no
ticeable.
Efforts to remove the obstacle Of
oyer-production from the pig iron sit
uation are proving successful, as eVi
denced by returns covering the output
during April, which show the smallest
total, with one exception, since Sep
tember, 1909. Buyers still pursue a
waiting attitude and hesitation is also
apparent in the markets for finished
materials, consumers delaying in the
hope of securing price concessions.
In dry goods circles considerable
reserve buying power was disclosed
at the auction sale of carpets which
attracted buyers from all over the
country. A continuation of the slight
improvement in the demand for cot
ton goods by converters, printers and
the manufacturing trades was noted,
but jobbers are holding back, awaiting
the coming of the government cotton
report in June, when they hope for a
further revision of prices. Fall River
has been selling contracts on wide
cloths to run through June, July and
August on basis of 264 cents per
ton. Yarns rule slow. Dress goods
are inactive in first hands and except
for an advance of five cents per yard
on single line of woolen mems wear,
little change is noted in the quiet
trade in that quarter
Activity in footwear is for the next
season run, and the demand is quiet
for seasonable lines for immediate de-
livery. Producers are running their
plants on part time as they have not
commenced fall cutting as yet. Prices
are maintained. Leather rules quiet
and the demand for most varieties is
less active than previously noted.

AN INT0LERABLE ITCHING

Just about two years ago, some
form of humor appeared on my scalp.
The beginning was a slight itching but
it grew steadily worse until, when
combed my hair, the scalp became
raw and the ends of the comb-teeth
would be wet with blood. Most of the
time there was an intolerable itching,
in painful, burning way, very much
as a bad, raw burn, if deep, will itch
and smart when first beginning to
heal. Combing my hair was positive
torture. My hair was long and tan
gled terribly because of the blood and
scabs. This continued growing worse
and over half my hair fell out. was
in despair, really afraid of becoming
totally bald.
Sometimes the pain was so great
that, when PARTIALLY awake, would
scratch the worst places so that my
finger-tips would be bloody. I could
not sleep well and, after being asleep
a short time, that awful stinging pain
would commence and then l would
wake up nearly wild with the torture.
A neighbor said it must be salt rheum.

toilet soap before, now decided to

for perhaps six weeks, then left off,

Gated, but toward spring, eighteen
months ago, there was a slight re-
turn of the scalp humor. l CON-
menced the Cuticura treatment at
once, so had very little trouble. On
my scalp i used about one half cake
of Cuticura Soap and half box of
Cuticura Ointment in all. The first
time l took six or seven bottles of Gu
ticura Pills and the last time three
bottles-neither an expensive or te'
dious treatment. Since then l have

New ARMY Machine Gun.

The army has just adopted a new
type of machine gun that has some re.
markable points of advantage over
the existing guns. The new gun is SO
small that it can be carried by a man
or two, with full equipment of stands
and ammunition can be packed upon
a mule. Moreover, it has the i'm
portant advantage that it can be fired
from the shoulder, and consequently is
much less subject to attack and cap
ture by the enemy.
The ammunition is carried on steel
strips and the new gun is said to be
free from the danger of choking
while the barrels are carried in dupli
cate and can be almost instantly
changed when they become heated
from rapid firing.

Woman cauaht Red Handed.

A woman was caught red handed last
Tuesday. There was nothing sensa-
tional about it. All she had done was
to do her washing with cheap, common
yellow laundry soap, and the result was,
as 1t always is, that her hands were
cracked and chapped and chafed until
they were sights. Easy Task soap re-
lieves woman of SO much rubbing and
dipping the hands in the water that no
harm results. AS matter of fact, Easy
Task soap is good to wash the hands
with. It won't hurt the most delicate
skin any more than the finest lace.

GIRLS ARE H|KERS
Several Young Women Have
Organized a Pedestrian
Club, Now.
OFFICERS ARE ELECTED

The Girls Pedestrian Club is the
name Of a new organization which has
recently been formed at the local high
school. Miss Edith Tallant and Geo.
Hamilton. two of the instructors, are
the promoters of the idea. Officers of
the club have been elected as follows:
President, Aisle French; vice president.
Elnora Shute; treasurer, Mary Mather;
secretary, Emily Fletcher.
The purpose of the club. as the name
indicates. is to encourage walking
among the high school pupils. The
membership consists of about fifty
girls and each member is expected to
walk certain distance each week,
the minimum distance being fixed by
the officers. The distance fixed to be
walked next week is five miles. Each
succeeding week the number of miles
will be increased On good days the
walking for the most part will be done
in the country. trips being taken to
Thistlethwaite's pond, the fairgrounds
and other places near the city. The
Pedestrian club plan has been tried
with great success in several of the
cities over the state and the interest
that is being displayed IN the affair by
the girls in this city, points to its
equal success here.
