Another Conflict Looked

Victoria, Seoul, Korea, May 11.
5 p. m. (Delayed in transmit
sion.) Infantry reinforcements
reached the beleaguarcd Japanese
trops at Anju at 6:30 o'clock on
the evening of May 10. The garri
son had fought fiercely for 12
hours, the men reserving their fire
until the enemy were at close range
upon each attempt to storm the
gate. The Cossacks then retired
over the eastern hills to Yong
Pyong, the provincial capital, leav
ing 50 killed and wounded on the
field and one non-commissioned
officer captured. The Japanese Iof'j
four killed and six wounded, be
sides one teletrranh operator. The
Japanese troops arc now in pur
suit of the enemy and an engage
ment is momentarily expected.
It is supposed that the Cossacks
are part of the body which crossed
the headwaters ol the lalu near
Cliangsong and occupied Chengju
not knowing of the disaster which
had attended their arms on the
Yalu, continuing to carry out their
orders to harass the enemy and cut
oft! his communications,- which
would now be impossible with even
a much larger force.

ECZEMA ON
LITTLE GIRL
Sleepless Nights for t'other
ad Awful Suffering
tfjMoV
CURED BYJOTICUBA
I!:! Given np All Hope of im
Baling Akj Cure.
. My little girl has been suffering for
two years or more from ecsema, and
daring that time I could not get t
eight's sleep, as ber ailment was very
severe. 1 ,
-1 bad tried to many remedies and
' spent much money, deriving no bene
fit, I bad absolutely given up all nope
of making any cure. But as a last re
sort I was persuaded to try a set of the
Cutlcura remedies, and to my great
delight a marked change was mani
fested from the first application. I
fave the child a bath with Cutlcura
oap, using a soft piece of muslin cloth.
This I did twice a day, each time fol
lowing with the Cutlcura Ointment,
and at the same time gave the Resol
vent, according to directions. One box
of the Ointment and two bottles of the
Resolvent, together with the Soap,
effected a permanent cure. I submit
this for publication if you desire, hop
Ing It will add to your success and assist
so many thousands of sufferers in cur
ing themselves." Mrs. L B. JONES,
Admngton, Ikd. T.
i The first step In the treatment of the
ehronlo forms is to remove the scales
and crusts and soften the skin, by
Warm baths with Cutlcura Soap. The
scalp, ears, elbows, hands, ankles and
feet will require frequently a thorough
soaking In order to penetrate the thick
ened skin and crusts with which these
parts are often covered. Dry care
fully, and apply Cutlcura Ointment,
lightly at first, and where advisable
spread It on pieces of soft cloth and
bind in place. Take the Resolvent,
pills, or liquid, in medium doses. . Do
not nse cold water in bathing, and
avoid cold, raw winds.

Much Jealousy
In Gates Case
Railroad Detectives Work at Cross
Purposes and Murderers Are
Not Captured.
Portland Journal. '
That George Gates, one of the
men alleged to have held up the
Southern Pacific passenger train at
Copley, CaL, in which Express
Messenger O'Neill was killed, and
a companion engaged a room in
Portland and remained here for at
least a week is the assertion made
by local officers. It is believed that
had this been known sooner, the
desperado could have been cap
tured here. But the chance was
lost, and it is not believed that it
will be presented again.
The confession of Mrs. Thomas
Whiteman, made at Redding, Cal.,
in which she implicated Gates, was
not news to the local officers who
have been working cn the case. It
has been known here for some time
that Gates was corresponding with
some woman, and that he always
dated his letters ahead. But it was
not known who the woman was, and
it was not known at the time Gates
was in Portland, else he would have
been taken while here.
Detective Joe Day knows Gates,
and characterizes him as one of the
most desperate criminals ever oper
ating in the west. The officer re
grets the fact that so much news
paper notoriety has been given the
case, for it is believed that Gate
and his fellow murderers have
benefited by it. It is a fact that
ihe murderers, after fleeing from
Copley after the murder, camped
on a mountain not far from San
Francisco for more than a weefr
One of them went down to a train
every day and bought copies of the
San Francisco papers, so that they
might learn the operations of the
tectives. After the officers disi
covered the den recently occupied
by the criminals, they found the
newspapers stuffed down an old
chute. ......
It is the declaration of officers
connected with the case that jeal
ousy and newspaper notoriety have
enabled the murderers to thus far
escape justice. It is said there is
much jealousy among the railroad
detectives working on the case.

Have Been Involved in Money
Taking Scheme.
GRAFT FOR CITY POSITIONS
Former Policeman, Now in' Jail
for Taking Coin, Makes Con
fession Implicating Men
Who Stand High.
New York, May 12. Rudolph
Beyers, a former policeman, now
serving a six months sentence in
the penitentiary for taking money
from police candidates, has made a
statement, according to the World
in which he gives the names of the
influential persons through whom
candidates were secured positions
in the police and fire departments
by the use of money. Beyers, it is
said, corroborated in detail a state
ment made to the district attorney
by E. A. Sonner, who is serving a
short sentence on charges similar
to those against the ex-policeman.
A vigorous examination is being
made and developments are ex
pected in the near future. Accord
ing to the World, "the man higher
up," who received the bulk of the
money collected for jobs in the fire
department, is one of the best
known men in town, and held
office under the city government for
several years.
One of the men influential in the
police department is said to have
been formerly a high official, while
the other is still in office.

A correspondent sends us the follow
ing little story: "Sometimes the
sights of a city are memorable.
The other evening as I walked home
from the office the night was raw and
chilly I saw something that made me
think. I was passing the front of a
large picture store on the great street
in the brilliantly lighted window was
exhibited a picture of considerable
siie, in a coetly frame. The painting
represented two beautiful little girl
walking through a daisy-covered
meadow and picking flowers as they
passed. On the cold pavement before
that picture, stood a little ragged, shiv
ering newsboy. One email arm encir
cled a huge bunch of newspapers,
while the other grimy fist was used
to rub the great tears from his eyes
People came and looked, and passed;
but the boy, sobbing- pittifully, stocxj
before the magic picture, and the only
word that he uttered was between
great sobs, the tender word, 'sister.' "
