Thomas C. Powell has received a
letter dated Sept. 1st, from his mother,
who lives at Southport, Lancashire,
England, in which she says:
Throughout the past week, the trains
of the Lancashire and Yorkshire rail-
way passing through here. have been
crowded with Russian soldiers, being
transported from Aberdeen. Scotland,
to some east coast port or ports, prob
ably to Harwich."
This confirms the rumor recently

been shipped from Archangel. Russia.

SHELLS ON ANTWERP
Germans Evidently Want to Occupy
Belgians' Attention.

Antwerp, Sept. 2S.-The Germans
are Smelling the outer Notifications OF
Antwerp with heavy guns. Already
they are reported to have caused
damage to the forts of Valeham and
Wavre and to the chain Of fortifica-
tions which connect them. The forts
are responding yigorously to the fire.
The guns being used are those with
which the Germans yesterday bonn
barded Malines,T killing many wor-
shippers as they left a church and set
ting fire to many buildings including
the hospital of the Little Sisters of the
Poor. ForteSt5$mbaut is reported to
have been Practically destroyed by TIE
German shells 1 - s>.a T. ~
So far as the bombardment of the
defenses, of Antwerp is 1oncerned- it
is believed that the present action is
intended to keep the Belgian army
inside of the Notifications. The gur.s
used are of the heavy siege type and
not the caterpillar pieces that caused
the loss of Liege and Namur. Ant
werp is quiet and the general staff
shows no concern over the latest de-
velopment.

drive BACK GERMANS
japanese Pressing Toward Oriental
Seat of Government.

Picking, Sept. 2s.-The Japanese
legation announces that japanese
troops after fighting on Saturday and
Sunday occupied a position within Z "
miles of Tsing-Tau, the seat of gov
eminent of Kiao Chow, the German
leased possession in China.
A German report undated, but evil
IDENTIFY having to do with the same
engagement. says that Germans re-
tired only from their outpost positions,
falling back on the first line defenses
Of the city.
A German dispatch received here
from Tsi Nan, capital of Shantung
province, which probably came from
the Sing Tau in the Kiao Chow ter
ritory by wireless conforms closely to
the report given out at the Japanese
legation. The German dispatch re-
lates that the German outposts, after
several encounters with the enemy,
retired to the first line of defense be-
yond the villages of the Sang Kow and
L-Tsun.
1t is apparent that the German lines
follow the highlands and are avoiding
the lowlands bordering on Kiao-Chow
bay.

and officers Of the steamship Esper-

day from Vera Cruz and Progreso.
Campeche. to this date, has been
comparatively free from revolutionary
troubles and in that district many of
the Weather residents of central
Mexico, as we'll as deposed federal
officers took refuge.
Stories were told the steamship Of
ficers at Progreso Of pillaging and
robbery at Campeche by constitution
alist soldiers, and in Progreso, one Of
the ships officers said. robberies and
hOldups were OF nightly occurrence
and no effort was made to give police
protection to the inhabitants.

Pints of Whisky
And y Full Quarts Of Beer in
1 Two Days.
WILL He PROVE IT IN COURT?
Possibility That Solemn Jurors
May Watch Him.
Three Physicians Declare That
1t Can't Be Done.

That q prisoner on trial in the first
division Of the Shawnee county dis

emn jurors the judge and other court
attendants and consume forty-eight
ihalf-pints of whisky and seventy-two
quarts of beer, is not probable but is
at least a possibility in a court case
now being tried before Judge A. d.
Dana.
!. Because Barney McMann swore un-
der oath that he drank forty eight
half-pints of whisky on July 27 and
that just two days before he consumed
unassisted seventy-twO quarts or one
barrel of beer, he is today being tried
on a charge of perjury.

the large quantities of liquor he con-
sumed were made during a liquor in
QUESTION" being cOnucted by w. E.
Atchison, prosecuting attorney. 1t is
the belief Of the county attorney that
McMann commended he consumed the
liquor when as matter OF fact It
was turned over to jointists and boot
leggers and that McMann perjured
himself to protect them.
At the trial today the state attempt
ed to prove by the testimony of three
local physicians that no person could
consume the quantity of liquor that
of time McMann says he used in &C
complishing the feat. The physicians
testifying were DR.. w. S. Lindsay, DR..
F. ]. Ernest and DIR. Forrest L. Love-
land. They all declined to qualify as
experts as to the quantity of liquor a
man may consume, but all stated that
McMann's alleged accomplishment ex-
ceeded all records of which they had
any knowledge.
After court adjourned at noon A. ].
Bolinger, attorney for McMann, ex-
pressed a willingness to have Nc
Mann's capacity for liquor proven by
a demonstration in court.
II will be perfectly willing to have
such a test" said w. E. Atchison,
county attorney, but 1 am afraid ii
might result in McMann's death"
There is plenty of condemned liquor
in the basement of the court house to
supply material for McMann to make
q demonstration.
Judge Dana, when asked his posi-
ton on such a test being made, was
non-committal.
