NEELEY CAN'T COME.
Congressman win Not BE in Kansas
Campaign.

Congressman George A. Medley has
wired his headquarters in Topeka to
the effect that it may be impossible
for him to come to Kansas during the
present campaign. Medley planned to
enter the state today and to devote
his entire time to the campaign until
the November election.
Neeley's failure to return to Kan
sas is due to the refusal of party lead
ers to permit members to leave Wash
ington while the present legislation Is
pending in congress. It is the person.
al wish of President Wilson that
members remain in Washington either
until the adjournment of the present
session or until pending legislation Is
out Of the way. For that reason.
Medley will stay in Washington. As
no date has been set for adjournment,
it is probable that the Democratic SEN
atorial nominee will not come to Kan
saS during the campaign.

Petrograd, Sept. 24.-An official
communication issued by the govern
ment staff today says:
"On Sept. Fl the Russian troops
took by storm the Notifications OF
Jaroslau, on the right bank of the
River San. They took twenty cannon
even though the enemy offered heavy
resistance and blew up the bridge
over the San. Two days previous the
Russians had occupied Staromiasto
and Lancut to the north and west of
Jaroslau.
THE Russian cavalry is pursuing
the retreating Austrian rear guard
and inflicting heavy losses although
the Austrian destroyed many bridges.
Every day the numbers Of prison.
ers and seized cannon increases. The
Generalization of the enemy is shown
by the pillaging and panicky retreat.
Prisoners unanimously assert that q
majority of their officers are killed or
missing and the soldiers feel the loss
keen1y.
1.-The newly formed Russian regi-
ments have covered themselves with
glory, fighting side by side with the
veterans"
