The Death Penalty.
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

Independent and reliable The Oregon-
assumed the agcreetrvo daring Ju y and
attt-mp'od to drive the J u panose buck
and resale IUIny. 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. Desultory flghl-
ing succeeded until July 26, when the
Jiip.inese bega.i a mc-jad eao.-ui uitacii
against S u aik on and Antz:i Pass. All
three of the Japanese columns en
gaged in t e desperate lighting, which

to retreat. Practically the entire Port
Arthur garrison, with GO guns, paiticT
pated in this engagement. The Rus

The Japanese spen July 29 disponing
their forces and supplying the.n am
munition. 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."
