And more lies behind this. It was not the headquarters stall', whose operations appear slow, particularly in pursuits, but the wonderful soldiers and young officers of Japan, who freely drenched plain and hills with their life's blood. Vast quantities of arms, ammunition and stores were burned at Liaoyang by the Russians before the Anal retreat, but an enormous amount of shells, ammunition, powder wagons, stores and miscellaneous property was captured by tiie Japanese. Among the anununi tlon captured was a quantity of dum duiii bullets. An elegant quality with double knee, comes in all sizes,and guaranteed good wearers. It is an unusually good bargain.

"What surprised me more than anything else was the wonderful manner In which the Japanese continued for a whole week their awful bombardment of the Russian positions.

She was playing on the track and was run down, the leg being cut off near the hip.

The vessels were as follows: Mr. Burleigh testified, as other correspondents have done, that the Japanese continually are drafting fresh men into the fighting ranks and remarks how marvelously thC|v took fortifications when capture appeared to be Impossible. He asserts that It was Kuroki's dangerous position that compelled the other Japanese armies to force the fighting and says that it was partly the shell tire and partly also Russian incendiarism that produced the conflagration in the iUisrtlan quarter of Liaoyang, the inceni'iarism probably being the act of drunken soldiers.

Main St. Chef 11, Sept. 12.—The story of the happenings before Port Arthur of the past ten days, according to the Novikrai, is one of bombardments, outpost clashes and recoimoitering exploits. Copies of the Novikrai, dated'Sept. 5, CD and 7, have just been received here and are devoted almost exclusively to a recital of the details of these occurrences. itussian activity on the northeast front, which includes ltililuugshan and Kikwansliau, is noted by the paper, and the inference is drawn that an attack in that quarter is expected.

The time-worn injunction, "Never put off 'til tomorrow what you can do today," is now generally presented in this form, "Do it today!" That is the terse advice we want to give you about that hacking cough or demoralizing cold with which you have been struggling for several days, perhaps weeks. Take some reliable remedy for it today—and let that remedy be Dr. Boschee's German Syrup, which has been in use for over 35 years. A few doses of it will undoubtedly relieve your cough or cold, and it continued use for a few days will cure you completely. No matter how deep-seated your cough, even if dread consumption has attacked your lungs, German Syrup will affect a cure—as it has done in thousands of apparently hopeless cases of lung trouble.
