PRICE BAKING POWDER GO« CHIGAGO, BACK FKOM WEST Miss Ferne Spencer Returns From Enjoyable Trip To the Coast. Miss Ferne Spencer, winner of the Pioneer contest last May, has just returned from a several months visit in Tacoma. Miss Spencer selected the trip to the coast inplace of the trip to the world’s fair to which she was en- titled, She greatly enjoyed her- self in Tacoma and is glad that she went inplace of attending the fair, Miss Spencer was for a long time chief operator for the local telephone exchange and it is doubtful if there is a more com- petent or popular “central’’ in the \mte than she. Miss Spen- cer’s people live near the city and she will remain at home for the present. FLOWING WELL Superintendent Pogue of the City Water Works Strikes Flow- ing Well. While putting on the final touches to one of the wells now being dug by Superintendent Pogue of the city water works, and his crew of men, last Sat urday a genuine flowing well was discovered which emitted a gentle flow of pure water out of the five inch pipe which is svnk to a depth of a 108 feet. The water does not gush out of the pipe, but a steady flow is notice- able and ditches have been dug to carry it away. Mr. Pogue re- ports that five of the wells are completed already and says that indications are that the other one will be finished by the end of the weels. Saves Two From Death. “Our little daughter had an al- most, fatal attack of whooping cough and bronchitis.” writes Mrs. W. K. Hayiland, of Armonk, N. Y., “but, when all other reme dies, fmled we sayed her life with Dr.'King’s New Discovery. Our niece, who had consumption in an advanced stage, also used this wonderful medicine and today she is perfectly well.” Desper- ate throat and lung diseases yield to Dr. King’s New Discovery as to no other medicine on earth. Infallible for coughs and colds. 50c and $1.00 bottles guarantced by all druggists. Tual bottle free. A Correction. Through some misunderstand- ing, it has been published that the proceeds of the Grace Char- lesworth concert are to go in to the public library fund. This concertis given under the patron- age of the Ladies’ Musicale, and hns for its main object the en- couragement of the manager of the opera house in bringing a good class of entertainments to the city. If, however, after the large guarantee to the company is paid, there is any surplus, it vill be turned into the treasury of the Ladies’ Musicale, to be used as the members of the club see fit.

Tokio, Oct. 18.—The Russians fiercely assailed General Oku and attacked Generals Nodzu and Kuroki Mon lay night but were everywhere repulsed with ALL ATTACKS THROWN BACK "' oW PEAE BELIEVED AT WASHINGTON IT WILL SHORTLY BE IN ORDER FOR POWERS TO ACT. WAR DISPATCHES SUMMARIZED. Weile the battle of Shakhe river has undoubtedly resulted in a Japanese victory the day’s dispatches indicate that Kuropatkin’s defeat was far from being as crushing as the news of Sat- urday and Sunday presaged. His offensive movements falled utterly, but it is appavent that even in his re- treat he is hattling stubbornly and in- flicting severe losses on the Japanese, while himself staining casualties that are descr as “appalling.” Al several critical points along the extended line of battle the Russians have launched attack after attack at the Japancse and in some instances succeeded in driving them out and re- covering their positions. In one such attack they captured eleven guns. These, however, are apparently iso- lated successes in what is otherwise a general defeat. An official report to St. Petersburg says that cannonading was reopened aloug the entire front during the morning. No official advices have been re- ceived from Japanese sources, but a dispatch from Tokio, based on ‘“reli- able private sources,” says the Japa- nese continue their advance and that Oku is now operating to block the Russian retreat along the railroad. { GAPTURE TWELVE JAP GUNS RUSSIANS TAKE LONE TREE HILL AFTER SEVERAL HOURS OF HARD FIGHTING. St. Petersburg, Oct. 18.—General Bakharoff telegraphs that the Russians have recaptured Lone Tree hill, south of Shakhe, and captured eleven Japa- nese guns and one quickfirer. Lone Tree hill is situated near Shakhe, about three miles east of the railroad. The Shakhe river runs around its base. The Japanese seized the hill during the night of Oct. 15, ovelpoweung the two Russian regi- ments which previously were in pos- session of Russian reinforcements were harried up and early the follow- ing morning opened a sustained artil- lery fire. subsequently the Russian iniantry stormed the hill and fierce fighting at close quarters followed. Numhe:s of Japancse were bayonetied in the trenches and ultimately the de- fendcers were driven out after several hours of fighting. The losses were heavy. FRENCH OFFICIALS THINK OTHERWISE SAY RUSSIA IS MORE THAN EVER DETERMINED TO PRESS THE WAR VIGOROUSLY. ‘Washington, Oct. 18.—The war in isted the closest atten- tration and it is felt s approaching when it { will be in order for the great neutral powers to move toward the restoration of peace. President Roosevelt has from i the first stood ready to use his good offices to stop hostilities on a basis honorable to both helligerents, but he ie estopped from moving by the fact that it has been the unbroken rule of our government to wait until it is as- sured that both sides to a controversy of this kind are willing that we should act. There has so far been no open proposition, nor can it be truthfully stated that even an indirect overture has come to Washington from St. Pe- tersburg or Tokio, but it is believed that the signs point to an early move in that direction.
