Operations in GaIicia.

The Austrian general stan denies
reports of Russian victories and the
defeat of Gen. Dankl's army. The
Austrian forces, the report says, have
been concentrated in a new position
for several days, but have waited in
vain for any serious Russian attack.
From other sources, however, it is
reported that the Russians have sur
rounded Przemsyl and are between
that fortress and Cracow. 1t may
be some days before another battle
is fought there as one Austrian army
is behind the forts of PrZemysl and
the other is making its way to the
remaining fortress of Cracow, while
the Russians are taking the smaller
towns in Galicia under their wing
A report, which lacks official con
tirmation, says that General Rennen
kampf, who withdrew over the East
Prussian frontier, when German re
inorcements arrived his received
more men and again has taken the
offensive and compelled the Germans
| to withdraw.
1t is considered probable that the
fall of Jaroslau and the isolation OF
Przemysl has compelled the Germans
to look more closely to the protection
of their line from Thorn to Kalicz
which guards Posen, as the Russians
are now able to release a large
number of men for the invasion Of
! that part of Germany.

TESS OF STORM COUNTRY

Beautiful Mary Pickford, the Maude
Adams of moving pictures, endeared
herself to those who saw her last nlght
at the Royal, when she appeared IN
the role of "Tess" in Tess of storm
Country. This clever little actress Is
conceded by all to be the most pop
ular moving picture actress in the
business.
Tess of Storm Country is one OF
those beautiful compositions, strong
in character, that grips at the heart
strings of all. Tess, an illiterate little
fear-nothing, love-all, in her whole
some way wins the audience to her
the minute she appears in the pic
lures. The trials and tribulations OF
this little waif of the Storm Country
bring tears to the eyes of her audience
as she. in her innocent, trusting way,
calls upon the unseen Deity to help
her through her unhappy life. Then
again in the flash of an eye, this same
Tess brings her audience to smiles
with her unexpected witticisms.
Mary Pickford, as Tess, will be seen
again tonight at the Royal Theatre,
and if you failed to see the picture
last night, be sure and see it tonight,
for if you don't you will be the loser.

Here is a good trick to play upon
the fellow who knows it ALL" He will
be surprised when shown that he is
wrong. Initiate a large empty paper
bag and tie it up air-tight. Place the
bag on the palm of one hand, and into
the palm of the other hand take such
a quantity of coin or other metal as
will seem to equal the bag in weight.
If the observer does not know OF the
illusion or suspect it, the paper bag
will be found to weigh ten to twenty
times as much as the metal with
which it was matched.

WOMAN WINS IN COURT.
Supreme Tribunal of Oklahoma Dis
misses Test Case.

Oklahoma City, Sept. 24.-The SUI
preme court today sustained a mo-
ton to dismiss the case brought
from Comarche county by Sand W.
Gregory against Charla Critcher on
the question of who is entitled to
the nomination for county clerk.
Charla Critcher is a woman and the
two were candidates on the demo.
cratic ticket at the last primary for
the nomination.
The face of the returns shows Miss
Critcher to have been the winner.
Quo Warranto proceedings were start
ed in the district court to test the
nomination, and before being com
pleted the action was transferred to
the supreme court. The case was
dismissed because a similar action
was pending in the lower court aad
it was held that actions could not be
maintained in both courts at the
same time.

FEEDING VALUE OF SEED
Oklahoma Experiment Station Urges
Farmers to Feed II.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Sept. "a
Feeding value of cotton seed and cot
ton seed meal is an important matter
now that the value of cotton seed is
uncertain and the farmers are not re,
ceiving any considerable portion OF
the sum they are accustomed to get
for that by-product of their fields. In
this connection a bulletin from the
Oklahoma Experiment Station indi
Gates that cotton seed has a feeding
value in its raw state of $23.40 ton
as compared with corn at the present
price or with cotton seed meal at $50
ton.
This bulletin advises the mixing OF
raw cotton seed with some cereal
such as kafir, feterita, or milo. 1t has
been urged that if the market for cot
ton seed shall continue to be bad
the farmers ought to feed the seed and
produce meat for which there is an
active demand at high prices.
