It may be briefly summarized as follows: 1 The Night Following Passed Without Incident Save That a Steady Loss of 8trvngth and Vitality Was Apparent. Powerful Stimulants Continued. Unofficial Report of Jap Victory. It la reported from Tientsin that the Siberian railroad has been wre«ked In six places, covering a distance it seventy miles. Stegmaier's Beer Washington, Feb. 15—The latest report from Senator Hanna's sickroom Is that he is losing ground rapidly. He is motionless, barely breathing, and It Is impossible to determine whether he Is awake, asleep or in a stupor. Twice snatched from death yesterday by the tremendous efforts of his doctors and by the use of the most powerful heart stimulants known to medical science, his wonderful powers of recuperation and his sturdy physical strength have supported him. It has transpired that Senator Hanna's illness is complicated with an affection of the kidneys and with an. Impaired liver. The doctors have refrained from mentioning these complications in the bulletins and have talked very guardedly of them In conversation with friends of the family. Hopes Suddenly Dashed. A Peking dispatch says that Viceroy Alexeleff Is practically Isolated at Port Arthur, that the railroad behind Port Arthur has been blown up and that 6,000 Japrfnese troops have been landed near Dalny.

Stegmaier Brewing Co After the senator's rally there were high hopes that he might possibly recover. These were dashed when -he collapsed at 8 o'clock in the morning. He was revived and continued through the morning in a fairly satisfactory condition, except for the increased weakness and a higher temperature. At 2 o'clock p. m. his heart failed again. The same heroic measures that recuperated the senator* on Friday were employed. Artificial respiration, oxygen, heart stimulants and the shouted commands ta breuthe had their effect after a long struggle. During this collapse the family thought the senator was dying. After he began breathing regularly again his condition was conceded to be hopeless. It was then announced that he would die. No one could say when, but all doubt of the fatal termination vanished.1 lot of children's musjin drawers, well made, all sizes, pair 12Jo 1 lot of children's muslin night gowns, nicely trimmed with lace, very special price, a garment. .33c Bottling Department.

From Tarts, the center of good living and entertaining, come the tidings that pink teas, yellow dinners and such color fads are no longer the fashion. Freak foods and decorations are put tslde, and plain elegance reigns supreme once more. Novelties nevertheless are still looked for and sometimes adopted with exceedingly poor Judgment, similar to that evidenced some few years ago, when the fad of serving hot chocolate with ice cream came to be quite en vogue in New York. This was probably an imitation of the Norwegian or Siberian omelet or, as it is sometimes more pertiuently termed, "surprise souffle." If not artistic, tills dish is at least original in its conception and withal easy of preparation. The better the flour, the be ter the bread; the better the bread, the stronger the staff.
