Kii-ld Mnnhal Oyama. who lid hi f,imou econd army Into I'ort Arthur during- the t'hlno-Japaneae War of l?t-S5. and who In that atruxKle hIho raptured Wei Hal Wei and Talien Wan. today ty din of In ceunt flKhtlng. In which hi men were lured neither becauae of caanaltle nor becaiiBe of hardnhlp. hold away over I.luo Yan. and General Kun.patkln. throuKh mhom Rulan believed their arm would lie aucceuful. I in full re treat northward, while one of hi chief aldea, Oenernl Btakelber;. with hla com mand, the Klrnt Bllierlan Army Corp, numlerlnir 25.009 men I cut off to the weatward of Ijki Vanf. The ItiiKMl.in are concentratln at Yen tal, but the dlKpatche thua far a"lve no Intimation a to whether they will make a aland there, or even If the Japanese are punuilna; their foe In flight. It I not known whether the Japanese will top at IjiIq Yung and fortify and with the Tltaa River between him and deneral Kuropatkln force, will endeav or either to become defender In cane the Kulan hould attack, or by Inaction. Iiould they not. end the campaign at I.lao Yung. Thl laM blow to Rulan arm, though It la poken of In St. Peteraburg a the logical ronwiiucnce of Russian plana, doulitleaa will be taken much to heart by the mibject of Kmperor Nlchola who. after a uccelon of defeat and retire ment by their army, had expected a fin ality of the etruggle at Man Yang In tnelr favor. In the In of I-aio Yang by the Ru lan. the JapaneHe probably will gain Utile except In the way of etrateglcal point, for the Riueian. It I believed, blew up the magazine and act tire to the enorinou quantities of army tore and prnvlaion there liefore they evacuated. What the effect of the retirement from Mao Yang will lie on the li.-olegi.-a at Port Arthur can only be conjectured, but ocr talnly it cannot but but caime depi-eralon among the valiant defendei- who have been hoping that eventually they would be relieved. Evacuation of Mukden. Ml'KUKN. Sept. 6 Preparations for the evacuation of Mukden are proceed ing. The Japanese advance Is within 30 miles. The commissariat und columns of artillery "re arriving here and proceed ing nocthwiud. tiller Ktiroputkin's army is engaged In un extensive rear guard action. The force of Kuropatkln and Oyuma ate racing for Mukden. This much elands nut In the dispatches from the seat of war. nnd Is Indicated In a rejiort for warded by Kuropatkln. who says his re treat Is being conducted In perfect or der, though tile Japanese on Sunday re-K-Htedly attacked hi rear and continued the ntt.uk ti n t il Monday. The result of the race is in doubt. The united. Russian force are now north of Y'entiii. a station on the rail way about ten "mile northeast of Milo Yang. They are pushing on to Mukden, to which the bulk of Japanese forces is marching direct, after having swarmed across the Tnllx Rjver. A strong Japan ese flanking column Is nbout thirty mile northeast of IjiIo Yang and is trying to get between the Russian force and Muk den. With this race In progress there comes a brief dispatch from Mukden saying that preparation for the evacuation of that place are proceeding. The report, is well-founded, as Is pointed out In the Associated Press St. Petersburg dis patch, would mean the abandonment of the whole of Southern Manchuria and the winding up of tlie present campaign. It was reported in St. Petersburg at n lute hour Monday night that Kuropnt kin rearguard had been almost annihi lated and that the main Russian army waa 111 danger of being surrounded. Ku ropatkln. in his report, makes no mention of the abandonment of 2' guns at l-aio Yang, rumor to which effect Is In cir culation. Advice from Poi1 Arthur, by way of Chefoo bring the fighting there tip to September 2. and say the Japanese losses were very heavy. " 'l SOCIAL MEETING M0LALLA GRANGE Several Matter of Interest Dlscuised Last Saturday. Molalla Grunge Xo. J10. had a very pleasant and profitable meeting Septem ber 3d. Although it came right In the midst of the stir und exodus to the va rious hop yards, the faithful few" that turricd yet a little while, demonstrated that when there Is a will there Is a way of overcoming seemingly nnsurmounlable difficulties. While gathered around the table spread. Oak Point ice cream was served as a "cooler." After the literary program, a peanut contest was suggested by two sisters". This was soon declared the order of the hour and for fifteen minutes much amuse ment In tmnsfciTltig peanuts on cu.-knlti-s into the "enemy's fort." A contest Is to begin with the regular October meeting and continue until next March, the highest Kint of merit is to be given to prompt attendance to nil meltings; next will lie original produc tion. Hy order of the Grange, the Worthy M-jKter appointed a Granger reporter, whose dutv will lie to report to county and slate paper desiring grange news. The Subordinate Grange Hy-ljiws as recommended hy the State Gmnge will be adopted at next regular meeting. Tbe question chosen for discussion in HAVE YOU REGISTERED. t Book Will B Opn Betweon September 20 and October 20. liy a provialon In the direct primary hi! enacted I .-tat June at the. poll, reg iatration of voter will be relumed thl Autumn for the November election. Heretofore the reglntratlon law ha been deficient in that reepevt. for it ha re quired elector to reglater prior to May 13. In order to vote In November for Pres ident, or ele to vote on the affidavit of i free-holder. County Clerk through out the Blate are now required to re open the regltitrallon book "between September 20. l'.a0t. and 5 o'clock p. m., of October 20. li'A, and between the ume data In each and every year there after In which there ahall be an election of l'reldentlul elector." In November the flrt election for prohibition will be held under the local option law. on the ame day a the elec tion for President, uamely. November S. In answer to Inquiries from a number of County Clerk, Attorney-General Crawford haa rendered an opinion In which he advises the Clerka that when registration book are open between Sep tember 20 and fx-tober 20, only those per son should be registered who did not register last spring. The registration law prior to June. 19'4. provided for only one registration. In the spring. The direct primary law. adopted by the people at the June election, amended the regis tration law no a to provide that the book shall be open for a month begin ning September 20. Some of the county clerk thought from the reading of the law that all voters must register in the full, even though they had already regis tered In the spring. The Attomty-Gen-eral holds that the registration in the spring was legal and continue in effect, even though the luw wa amended. The second oriening of the books I merely for the purpose of registering those vot er who did not register In the spring. NO MORE CRISP BANK NOTES. Soft and Velvety Paper to Take the Place of That Now Used. The days of the crisp bank note are numbered. Instead - of being crisp, the money which the Government Bureau of KngravliiK and Printing will hereafter turn out will be soft und velvety. If im portant experiments which are now be ing conducted In the presence of Treas ury officers for the purpose of demon strating the advantage of a novel chem ical treatment for paper prove satisfac tory. The result of the adoption of the new secret process will be to revolution ize a portion of the work connected with the printing of paper money of the I'nited States. Cnder the new process It will take Just eixty days less time to manu facture a banknote than under the pres ent method. The chemical solution not only renders the paper soft and velvety, but It also makes It nonshrlnkable. By applying It to a Japanese napkin that article becomes as soft und pliable as a tissue of silk. The chemical preparation acts as an antlsceptic and preservative. Whin applied to old document it seem to knit the fibre together and prevent further decay. I'nder the present pro cess of printing paper money the paper has to be thoroughly soaked in water. ! While it Is in this soaked condition one i side of the paper Is printed. The sheet i Is then placed in u steam room and kept! under a high temperature for thirty days.1 the time necessary for the Ink to dry. The sheet Is again soaked as In the first Instance und the rett rse lde of the bill printed. The thirty-day process then has to lie repeated. In cases where a third Impression of the bill is necessary, which is required when the printing Is done In two colors, the wetting und doing pro cess has to le repeated for a third time, and another month is thus consumed In its production. Besides the delay In this process, the wetting and drying rot the fibre of the paper and although It is "starched'' to give it tile crisp appear-1 mice, tlie starch soon wears out und the bill becomes limp and worn. In printing bills on paper that has been treated by tlie new process no wetting is necessary. The Ink loses nolle of its lustre when applied to thu paper, as tin- uti the old process, and is thoroughly dry within forty-eight hours after the printing is done. Subscribe for the Enterprise.

Junes at tl. honjg of the young woman' parents, Mr. and Mr. J. M. Wood. In this city. Jealousy Is believed to be the cause of the (hoot ing, although the would-be-murderer re fuse to discuss the affair at all or to give any motive for the deed. Following the shooting Iuth gave himself up and wa lodged In the county jail. Nothing reliable can be learned aa to Just what caused the murderous assault of Ijiuth on the woman, since neither of the principals can be Interviewed and there wa nof' witness to the (hooting. I-auth. it seema. went to the Wood's home on the morning of the shooting, according to the ' artte-tnorxrm state ment of the woman made immediately following the shooting, and began to abuse her, demanding the return of a dia mond ring, valued at 230, which be claimed as hia own personal property. It was then that the shooting took place. I-auth using a 38-callbre revolver. Mrs. Jones waa shot four times and waa taken to the Good Samaritan Hos pital at Portland, where she died at S o'clock Wednesday morning. Three of the wounda were flesh wounds, the fourth la believed to have penetrated the ab domen, lacerating the intestine. One bullet entered the right breast Just be low the nipple and lodged Just beneath the skin at the back. Another struck the woman between the hips and ranged upward, and the other lodged In the right leg Jut below the knee. !.auth is a young man, being only 24 years of age, while hia victim Is aged 28 years and the mother of two children. Iler husband la employed as mate on an up-river steamboat and she was planning to secure a divorce from him. Lauth came to the Coast about five years ago from Sparta. Illinois, and was located a greater part of the time at Portland, where he was employed as "twenty-one" dealer at the Portland Club. When gambling was atopped at Portland about a month ago. Lauth came to thl city where he has been engaged along simi lar lines since. Three years ago. he met the woman at Aberdeen. Washing ton, and the two became infatuated with each other, Lauth continuing to pay the woman attentions successfully until a few weeks ago when a railroad engineer, residing at Row-burg, is said tu have precipitated a quarrel between the two. l.auth. while refusing to explain hia act. confesses that Jie Is sorry for what he has done, realizing that he Is "up against it" as he expressed himself to a reporter. O. B. Dimick has been retain ed a counsel for Lauth. It hi learned that the murderous as suult by the young man wa not without premeditation. While on hi way to the woman house Tuesday morning. Lauth stopped at a barber ahop and wa shaved. The Job finished, he remarked as he was replacing his collar, "Well, boy, this is the last time you will probably shave me." He was asked If he expected to leave town, and he replied that he did not. but qualified his first statement by adding: "There Is going to be a big fight pulled off at 10 o'clock this morning." The men in the shop had Just been dis cussing a prize fight and Lauth was ask ed If the expected contest waa to be of a pugilistic nature. He replied: "No, it is a personal fight." and with these words left the place. In less than an hour fol lowing, the young man passed the same barber shop In the custody of an officer 6n his way to the county Jail after the shooting. The remains of the dead woman were brought to this city Wednesday after noon when an Inquest was held. A ver dict, finding that the woman died from the wounds Inflicted by G. W.- Lauth. was returned. Iiuth. who will be de fended of the charge by G. B. Dimick and G. C. Brownell. will probably be formally churged with the crime today. The coroner's Jury verdict charges Lauth with murder In the first degree. Evangelical Association Church Services. Corner 8th and Madison. . Sunday School at lo a. m. German preaching at 11 a. m.
