Repoi't That Russian Center Is Broken And That Japs Capture Siege Guns. St. Petersburg, March 7.—A very specific report is circulating in exceedingly well informed quarters that the day has gone badly with “General Kuropatkin, that the Russian center is broken and that 13 siege guns have heen captured by the Japs. If this is trueitis pointed out here that the battle is lost. Associated Press Summary. There was no cessation of the fighting between the Russian and Japanese armies in Manchuria yesterday. Russian reports state that at a distance the tide of bat- tlein the immediate vicinity of Mukden seems to be ebbing. The most that the war critics at St. Petersburg seem to hope for at the present is that General Kuro patkin has succeeded in re-estab lishing his line of retreat in the direction of Harbin. Word has reached New Chwang which,how- ever, has no confirmation from other sources that the Japanese are already north of Mukden with alarge forceand thatthe Rus- sians are facing a disastrous de- feat. There appears to be a possibil- ity that General Kuroki has drawn off a portion of his army from the center and sent it to re- inforce the divisions engaged in the flanking movements. Gen- eral Kaulbars, the most noted of General Kuropatkin’s officers, is personally in command of the Russian forces in the triangle between the railway and the Hun river, which vital position the Japanese-have been assailing for several days. Russian reports admit that 12,000 men have been wounded, but made no mention of the number killed and at the same time assert that the Japan- ese lost 30,000 in killed and wounded.

Henry Fick, a member.of the Blackduck fire department, is in the city today and tells of the work done by the department at the recent fire in that city, Mr. Fick says that Blackduck is sup- plied with a very complete set of fire fighting apparatus and the pressure is sufficiently strong to throw a stream of water over the highest building in the city. There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was sup- posed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pro- nounced ita local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it in- curable. Science has proven catarrh to' be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by the F, J. Cheuney. & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. Itis taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful.

Laborers in Demand. 10,000 railroad laborers can get work by going to Minncapolis, as 600 miles of new construction work has recently been let in Minnesota, North Dakota and Montana, on roads running out of Minneapolis, which will eu- able the Jaborers to be furnished with free transportation by the employment agents. There will also be several thousand men used by railroad companies on betterment work - of old lines. Owing to the large number of railroads running out of Minne- ‘{apolis, that employ thousands of men each year, it is consider- ed the greatest labor market in the United States. The employ- ment agents are finding it diffi- cult to fill their orders daily, on account of the scarcity-of men in Minneapolis. : Notice to Parents.

Smitherman, a good citizen of this place, came to the store for medicine,” says Dr. Parunell, of Maplesville, Ala. “He was so hoarse that he could hardly talk and said that he had coughed all the night before. Isold him a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy and told him that if it 1id not relieve him he might bring the bottle back and get his money. I saw him the next morning carrying the bottle to the store where he works, and he told me it done him more good than any medicine he ever used.” For sale by Barker’s Drug Store.
