A little thing sometimes results in death. Thus a mere scratch, insignifi cant cuts or puny boils have paid the death penalty. It is wise to have Buck len's Arnica Salve ever handy. It's the best salve on earth and will prevent fa tality when burns, sores, ulcers and piles threaten. Only 25c at Slocum Drug Co. 's.

The Russians erected an e!abjrate series of fortifna tions ou the hills strirting the eastern coast and also along the railway, by means of which tbf y delaved the actual investment of Post Arthur two full months. Many d?sparate encounters marked the slow advance of the Japan ese southward early in June. The Rus sians erected defense works east of Shi-hi-dia; kow. On June 13 the Russians assumed the aggressive, but they were repulsed The Russians then erected defenses at Soutaikou. The Japanese began the general ad vat c a June 26. After severe fighting they succeeded in occupying a line from Antuz Mountain, on the riuht, to Sout ing Mountain, on th.1 left. On July 3 the Russians began a general attaok The fighting, which continued unti the night of July 5, included desperate night attack", the men frequently clos ing hand to hand and using bayonets. Russian destroyer and gunboats came from Lungwangtao and shelled the Japanese. The Russians were fjn.lly bea'en back. The Russians next forti fied Antau Paes. The Japanese mount ed at Langniclua 12 euns captured at Nanshan and also naval 12-poundrrs, west of Chuaotsunoo.

At dawn, July 30, the Jap anese attacked the Russian fotts. The guns of the Russian fortress were nsid for the firt-t time in this attack. The Japanese advene d within two and lour miles of Port Arthur, July 30, occupy ing T&kushan Heights, and commenced sieg. works immediately thereafter. The Japanese captured 14 guns between Nanshan and Taitushan. The Japanese cas'inlties during this period are with held, but they are baid to be lighter than has been previously reported from various outside sources. Says Yellow Peril Ridiculous. London, Oct. 8. Viscount Hayashi, Japanese Minister to Great Britain, in an interview p bliehed in the Weekly Reyiew, denies th t the Japanese losses bt Port Arthur are heavy. He says he ha3 eood reason to think the re mainder of the Russian fleet will soon make a sortie. Toe end of Port Arthur, he declares, will then be near. The war has done Japan maivelous good. Foreign trade is better than ever be fore. There is not the s ightest anxiety on the subject of raiding a big loan. The idea of the "Yellow Pdiil" is ridic ulous. Free trade and fair play to all is the peace try. "I beli ve the only way of bettering ourselves is opening up the Far East to European capital and enterprise."
