RUSSIAN ARMY IS
GOING TO PIECES
Detailed Account of the Demoralized
Condition of Russian Affairs
in Manchuria.
Niu Chwang, June 21. (10 p. m.)
via messenger to Koupantxee, The
Russians seem unable to reform their
plans which have been uiiset by Gen
eral Kurokl and are loosing interest
and heart In the struggle. The local
censor is no$ passing any communicac
tlons. The secret police are extra
diligent and it Is extremely hazardous
to attempt to send out uncensored dis
patches.
Niu Chwang Is fillet! with rumors of
more fighting to the southward. The
reports come from native sources. A
few Russian officers who talk guarded
ly say the rumors are untrue but that
General Kuropatkln Intends to make a
determined stand at Kaichou, where
many mines have been laid and
trenches constructed.
The field telegraph between Kaichou
and Niu Chwang which was finished
Wednesday, was cut in three places
last night and five miles of wire car
ried away. It is supposed to have
been the work of Chinese in pay of the
Japanese. This Is regarded as evi
dence that the Russian cannot hope
for the friendship of the Manchurians.
Large bands of robbers are giving
the Russian outposts much trouble
Northwest of Niu Chwang. The Japa
nese, It Is said, havve supplied the
"robbers with 1000 modern rifles and
much ammunition.
French correspondents from Murk
den report that the Japanese up to
last last Monday had made no demon
stration near Liao Yang. These cor
respondents are now with the Russian
forces south of here, but American
and British correspondents are not
permitted to see the fighting.
Viceroy Alexleft has Issued a proc
lamation to the effect that all the
traffic on the Liao river south of
Murkden must stop and that food
stuffs must be delivered to the Rus
sians. According to native reports the
Russians are loosing thousands of
horses from glanders.
Foreign military attaches who wit
nessed the fighting at Fengwangcheng,
declare that the Japanese artillery Is
superb and that the Japanese army Is
equal to the best of the European
troops.
The order of the American postal
department, issued early In May, to
send for Manchuria' to New York and
thence through Europe, has caused
uneasiness among firms and Indivldu.-
als with American business relations,
as the Russian mail route is con
considered wholly unsafe. If the
Japanese should cut the line of com
munication south of Murkden It would
result In the stoppage of all American
mail.
There are 500 wounded at the Rus
sian camp three miles east of Niu
Chwang. A few surgeons and mem
bers of the Red Cross arrived this
afternoon. Many more are needed.
The local physicians are offering as
sistance, but the Russians decline to
receive their aid. .
Valparaiso, Chile,
The president has asked congress to
postpone the laws for the redemption
nt paper currency until July 190 and
to provide for the admission after that
date of $9,000,000 paper guaranteed by
a largely Increaoed gold reserve.
The convention was to have been
carried out next January, but the
postponement is asked for by the pre!
dent because of the un preparedness of
the country and because a certain
amount of the conversion fund was
used for urgent expenses when the
country was in grave danger of war.
General approval is glvtn to the
president's action.

The two nien were always on the most

that.
When authorised charity solicitors
made the rounds of the senate for con
tributions. Senator Quay, who was a
liberal giver, used to say to them:
"All right, you may put my nnm

The charity solicitor would mention
the amount of the Ohio senator's do
nation.
"You may put my name down for
twice that." Senator Quay would say
This became so well known among
the charity solicitors that they finally
began to figure on getting Just twice

rlam head of the University of Call
fornla department of palentology is
now working diligently In the great
geological museums of England, Ger

earthed with the older and well known

work will mean revelations concerning
the richness of the fosslllferous strata
of the far west beds, which rival the
greatest bone fields of Europe.
MORE HOPEFUL FEELING.
Tone of Stock Market Better During
Past Week.
New York June 23. The tone of the
stock market has reflected a more
hopeful feeling in speculative circles.
Fluctuations have been narrow, how
ever, and business dull. A rise In
United States steel preferred had a
strong sympathetic eltect on the mar
ket. Opinions over crop prospects were
favorable and an averaee increase in t
railroad gross earnings was reported.
The passing of the interest on the
Wabash debenture "A" bonds upset
sentiment considerably on Friday. Re
dundancy of money forced some capi
tal into the market for high grade

New York, June 25,-The budget of

The redoubtable and only John T.
Sullivan Is credited with giving Ills
advice to two small boys who paid
homage at Ms shrine not long ngo:
"Hoys, If you want to get along, do
your work. Work Is the only thing
that makes men happy and successful.
Don't be like a boy whose father wrote
to the boy's boss asking where his son
slept. The answer the man sent back
was:
"We don't know where your son
sleeps at night; he sleeps In the ahop
daytimes.' "
Quay's Dislike of Harma.
It is said now that Senator Quay
never forgave Senator Hanim for say
ing, at the time when the senate re
fused to permit the I'ennsylvanlan to
take his seat on the appointment of
the governor of Pennsylvania, that the
country would be better off if Mr.
Quay were to remain at Heaver.
It was a rare thing for the tactful
Ohio senator to permit himself to utter
a remark like that, but there seems to
Some Timely Advice.
"Down In Kentucky not long ago,"
says a Chicago traveling man, in the
Record-Herald. "I saw In front of a
store in one of the small towns a sign
which read: 'Paints, Oils, Hardware,
Hooks and Stationery.' I had a rather
long and tedious trip before me, and
it-siting something to read on the way,
I wont In. 'Do you happen to have any

New York, June 23. Members of
the democratic national committee,
now here say John Sharp Williams,

doubtedly will be the temporary chair
man of the St. Louis convention and
will make the keynote speech. It is
expected that his selection will be rati
fied when the national committee
gathers next week in St. Louis. Sen
ator Bailey of Texas has been men
tioned for permanent chairman of the

unlikely that both presiding officers
will be chosen from the south.

TONGUE POINT LUMBER CO.
VACATION TIME. Vacation time should bring
rest, re'-reation and comfort; and comfort of the solid
and pleasing variety means no high collar, no stiff
hat and no itching scalp. It is for this last dis
comfort that Newbro's Herpicide becomes a summer
necessity, as it stops itching of the scalp and Prickly
Ileat almost instantly. Take Herpicide with you on
your vacation.
...SCALP WARNING.. Itching of the scalp is not
so much a punishment for past neglect as it Is a
warning for the future. It shows, almost coiisiusive
ly, that the vine-like, microbic growth that causes
dandruff, itching scalp and falling hair has entered
the Sebaceous glands and unless this growth is stopped
and kept out of the scalp, baldness will follow.
...IT IS CONTAGIOUS.. It was Prof. Unna (ask
your doctor about him), who first pointed out that
the true cause of hair loss is a germ or microbe that
lodges in the scalp where it causes dandruff. Being,
of microbic origin the disease Is necessarily contagious
but Dr. Sabouraud has recently called attention to
the highly contagious nature of dandruff, and the .
necessity of constant watchfulness to avoid it. Kill
the dandruff germ with Herpicide.
UNSTERILIZED PUBLIC HAIR. BRUSHES, says
Dr. A. Cartaz, are to blame for most
of the baldness that Is prevalent
today. He further states that,
"baldness begins in the young." By
this he means that the germ that
causes the disease is planted In the
scalp of young men and that some
times years elapse before the de
struction Is complete. I

WILL NOT GROW HAIR.. Newbro's Herpicide Is
a "Hair-Saver;" it will not grow hair nature
does this but by destroying the enemies of hair
health, it enables the hair to grow as .nature Intended
except In chronic baldness. Save your hair with
Herpicide. Wonderful results follow its use.
HOT WEATHER TROUBLES.. During hot weath
ed the minute sudatory glands of the scalp are called
upon to perform an extra amount of labor. The per
spiration that exudes in Increased quantities must be
handled promptly as it carries out poisonous and re
fuse matter that would otherwise clog up the pores of
the scalp. Incomplete elimination of refuse matter
produces a hot and feverish condition of the scalp,
familiarly known as Prickly Heat, for which Herpi
cide gives immediate relief. Ladles will find Herpi
cide indispensible. It contains no grease, will not
stain or dye. It is an exquisite hair dressing that
