woman who reaches over the cliff for the coveted flower goes crashing down into the abvss below. Just a little too far and the woman, who, day by day, neglects to cure the womanly diseases which weaken her is prostrated upon a bed of sickness. No woman should

trifle with the diseases peculiar to her

sex. Neglect to-day means a worse condition to-morrow. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a safe and reliable remedy for the cure of diseases peculiarly womanly.

Took ten bottles, and is in better . health than before in a long time. We shall always recommend Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription to all who are thus afflicted." w Favorite Prescription " makes weak women strong, sick women well.

DECISIVE BATTLE

Today's Events May Decide Fate of fuiropatkin's Campaign.

JAPS PRESSING BOLDLY

lhe Attack on Liao Yang Which Begun Yesterday Morning Was Resumed Today.

Russians Defended Vigorously and ? First Day's Battle Left Issue In Doubt.

Liao Yang, Aug. 31. The Japanese artillery fire ceased at 8 o'clock last evening, but was resumed with energy today. The casualties have not yet been ascertained. The third Russian corps repulsed a hot Japanese assault, the Japanese being hurled back by bayonet charges, first by the 23rd and then by the 24th regiments, which received and repulsed the enemy no less than six times. Two Japanese companies which succeeded in occupying a Russian position were mistaken for Russians and annihilated by Japanese artillery fire. At 4 o'clock In the afternoon the Japanese concentrated their fire on a Russian southern detachment and also tried to outflank the detachment from the right under the protection of the batteries. One company after another was noticed running- swiftly to the westward in an attempt to outflank the positions, but a Russian regiment and a battery were ordered to advance and succeeded In forcing the enemy to retreat in disorder, evacuating positions they previously had gained. It is believed that the Russian losses so far have not been very heavy except to the regiments which sustained bayonet charges.

DETAILS AWAITED

St. Petersburg on the Anxious Seat While Battle Rages. St. Petersburg, Aug. 31. The great battle of Liao Yang, which began early Tuesday morning, raged throughout the day wkh increasing intensity, and official details are most anxiously awaited at the war office. Every confidence is expressed in General Kuropatkin's ability to meet the Japanese assault on ground of his own choosing, but the city is hungrily awaiting further news of the progress of the fight. The Japanese forces engaged in this battle can only be estimated here, but they are believed to number about 200,000 men. General Kuropatkin is known to have six army corps, besides 147 squadrons of cavalry, In which great confidence Is reposed, bringing up the Russian total to about the same number that the Japanese have. How the armies compare with regard to artillery is npt definitely known, though throughout the war the Japanese have shown great preference for this arm and skill in its use. General Kuropatkin, in addition to his field batteries, has a number of very "heavy guns emplaced at important positions at Liao Yang, where the Russians have been strongly fortifying for some time. The Japs claim to have captured two field batteries during the past two days. Russian official accounts admit the loss of only six guns. It is stated that a Japanese battery was captured south of Anshanshan during the preliminary fighting, and that several Japanese guns have been destroyed since then. Little of the strategic situation has developed so far. Official news from the front says there was desperate fighting on the southern center, while from Information from other sources it appears that the Japanese are endeavoring to turn the Russian right from the neighborhood of the Junction of the Taitse and Sakhe rivers. The fighting on the western flank appears to have approached within three miles of Liao Yang. The news from Port Arthur up to Aug. 26 was reassuring. The account of the battleship Sevastopol having gone out on Aug. 23 to bombard the Japanese in Tahe bay does not mention that vessel striking a mine..

A BRILLIANT ENGAGEMENT

Japs Show Their Mettle ,ln a Three Days' Battle. Tokio. Aug. 31. Details of the operations against Liao Yang from Aug. 25 to Aug. 28, which include an account of the desperate three-days' battle In the neighborhood of Anplng and the abandonment of Anshanshan, have reached Tokio. The first Japanese army was divided into three columns and moved against Anping, where the Russians occupied a steep and wellfortified eminence which they had spent months in strengthening. At midnight of the 25th the Japanese center suddenly rushed forward in a bayonet charge against the Russian center, which was located In the vicinity of Kungchangling. This charge was a surprise and proved to be eminently successful. The Japanese captured the entire position. The Russian forces on the second and third lines were then strongly reinforced &nd offered determined resistance. A fierce rifle engagement ensued and continued without abatement throughout the

J6th. Th Japanese held their positions and managed gradually to press the Russians toward the valley of the Lan river. During the afternoon of the 26th a great thunderstorm broke over the battlefield, covering the hills with mist and preventing accurate use of the guns. The most fierce engagements occurred at Hungshaling and Kungchangling. The moonlight revealed the Japanese troops as they advanced. ; The Russian defenders of these positions, besides opening a fierce rifle fire on the enemy, rolled boulders down the hillside upon the climbing Japanese soldiers. The Japanese reserved their fire and climbed steadily upward, finally reached the summit and driving the Russians out. The Japanese casualties in this fighting numbered 2,000. No estimate is given of the Russian casualties, but they are believed to have been heavy. The Russians abandoned their positions from Anshanshan to Tengaope without offering resistance. The Japanese pursued the enemy and overtook him east of the road in the neighborhood of Tiaochauntal, Tashihtao and Pakuakou, and attacked vigorously at 10 o'clock in the morning of the 28th. The Russians retreated in confusion toward North Shaho. The column of Japanese infantry and artillery which pursued the Russians on the west side of the Haicheng-Liao Yang road overtook the main body of the enemy as It was retiring to the northwest and drove It also toward North Shaho.

CRIMES

II

Series of Coldblooded Murders Traced to a Connecticut Farmer.

ENDED IN MURDER

Lawlessness Results from Attempt to Enforce Blue Laws. ' Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. 31. The crusade carried on by the Allegheny County Sabbath Observance association for the past three weeks to enforce the blue laws of 1794 resulted in riot and murder in Allegheny last night. The man who was killed was Harry D. Knox, driver of an ice wagon. The enforcement of the old laws which prohibited the sale on Sunday of ice, soda water, candy, cigars and every other article of merchandise called a luxury has aroused intense feeling throughout the county, and many threats have been made against the prosecutors. Last night the chief detective for the association, P. T. Gamble, and two of his force, were on trial for perjury, the charge being that they had secured the prosecution of a storekeeper who proved that his store had not been opened for business on Sunday. About 1,000 persons had gathered about the alderman's office, and when the hearing was concluded the mob made a rush for the detectives. Gamble was knocked down and rendered unconscious for a time, while the other detectives were roughly handled. Some time later the detectives left the office under the escort of the alderman's constables, and the crowd renewed hostilities. Nelson Starkey, one of the detectives, fired into the crowd twice, the first shot wounding one man in the hand and the second bullet entering the abdomen of Knox. The wounded man died while being taken to the hospital.

TWO BODIES REVEALED

And It Is Confidently Expected That Two More Will Be-Discovered by Authorities.

Disinclination to Pay His Debts Said to Be the Murderer's Only Motive.

Line-up Gradually Increasing. Blackfoot, Idaho, Aug. 31. The lineup at the land office at BJackfoot in anticipation of the opening of the withheld Fort Hall reservation lands on Sept. 6 is gradually increasing. Every train brings new recruits. No serious conflicts have taken place, but trouble is expected when the Pocatello applicants, who were caught napping by the early arrivals here, commenced to arrive, as several tracts close to Pocatello will be stubbornly contested.

- Not Looking for Trouble. New York, Aug. 31. It is announced that the unions composing the Building Trades Alliance will not parade on Labor Day, this action being taken, the labor leaders say, with the object of avoiding the stirring up of hostile public opinion, which was caused by the labor parade last year, when Sam Parks rode In the line. The Central Federated union will have charge of the Labor Day parade of the unions.

Minnesota Democrats. Minneapolis, Aug. 31. All was harmony at the Democratic state convention held at the International Auditorium. There were more old-time Democrats at this convention than for several years. John A. Johnson was nominated for governor.

Lost His Right Leg. Walkerton, Ind., Aug. 31. Albert Allen, while trying to alight from a Three-I train returning from Benton Harbor, was thrown under the wheels, losing his right leg.

TERSE TELEGRAMS The battle of Liao Tang, now in progress, promises to be one of the bloodiest in history. H. M. Whitney, founder of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser, is dead in Honolulu, aged Bighty. The Russians are concentrating at Liao Tang, ither with the intention of giving a general settle or retiring. Joseph Bumpass, a negro who attacked a white girl at Hickman. Ky., was taken from (all bv a mob and lynched. Fitzgerald 8. Turton, second lieutenant in the 23d United States infantry, committed suieideon the island of Mindanao. Two men were fatally injured, one badly hart and eighteen ears smashed as a result of a wreck on the Milwaukee road at Bardwell. Wis. Official reports of the Are that destroyed the town of Binang. in Laguna province, Luzon, do not confirm previous accounts of the heavy loss of life there. The national convention of the United IrUh League of America is in session in iiew York. More than a.000 delegates from all parts of the eeuntry are present. ' The "Marathon" cross country ran of twentyfour miles at St. Louis was won by Thomas K. Hicks, of Cambridge, Mass. Time 3:23:5. rhere were forty entries. The national executive board of the Batcher Workmen voted not to call off the strike, instead the strike la to be continued mnUl a fcearable adjustment" is reaehed. .

Colchester, Conn., Aug. 31. That Gershon B. Marx, now held In the Norwich county jail, is the perpetrator of a series of coldblooded murders probably without precedent in the history of Connecticut, is the belief of the state officials who have begun a systematic search for bodies on the Marx farm. Four murders and an attempt to poison another man can, It is believed by these officials, be traced to Marx. The bodies of two of Marx's victims, Joe Pavol and Joe Palm, have been found. Marx is awaiting trial charged with the murder of Pavol, his wife being held .s a witness for the state. The two bodies for which search has been begun are those of an eighteen-year-old boy and a Hebrew peddler. The boy, who was known as "Harry," arrived In New York from Russia about three years ago, and he came here soon alter to work for Marx. He worked on the farm for about six months and then suddenly disappeared. Marx was asked to explain the lad's absence, and said he had gone to Hartford to find employment. Beyond that he would not talk about the boy. - The Hebrew peddler went to the Marx home one evening two years ago, and he has not been seen alive since so far as known. These two men, in the opinion of the authorities, met their death in the same manner as the two farmhands, and to obtain positive proof supporting their opinion efforts will be made to unearth the bodies. The motive for the crimes can only be traced to an insane desire on the part of Marx to escape paying money to persons to whom he was Indebted. The two men whose bodies have been found were six months behind in their wages, as was the young boy Hardwick, of whom no trace has yet been found. The manner In which these men met their death appears to be plain. Marx always slept with his hired man, his wife and four children sleeping in an adjoining room. It is said that he drugged his victims when they pressed him too hard for their wages, and then crushed their heads with an ax or some blunt instrument, after which the bodies were dismembered and buried. Each of the bodies already found bears a ghastly hole in the forehead. Marx had two farms, one of 165 acres and another of 105 acres. On the first farm was found the body of Pavol and on the second one the body of Palm.
