WINNIPEG EXHIBITION.

A PRIZE LIST OF ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARa . \ Everything Promises to Be Most Successful—A Number of Distinguished Statesmen Will Be Among the Visitors. Winnipeg, July 7. —The Dominion of Canada exhibition, to be held in Winnipeg from July 25 to Aug. 6, thin year, promises to be one of the best ever held in the Dominion. One hundred thousand dollars will be expended in prizes and attractions. This of itself will give an idea of the magnitude of the undertaking, Winnipeg believes in doing everything on a big scale. There is nothing half-hearted about it. Since it held its first exhibition In 1891 it has learned the lesson of “push.” Every year has added to the interest, the prize money and an important factor, cbe gate. The prize list comprises about 120 pages, a story of the wonderful development of the province tersely told. The exhibits will include everything, grown, bred, painted or manufactured in Canada, from the fine art to the motherly sow. The speed program will undoubtedly be a great attraction. It win Include boys’ and men’s races, horse races, trotting, speeding, etc., etc. The prizes in this class alone will amount to $19,760, the highest being $2,500 for a “free-for-all,” others ringing from $1,200 down to $l5O. Among the entries so far received are the speediest horses on the continent The Canadian Manufacturers’ Association have secured control of two buildings, and the Secretary, Mr. Young, says there will be such a display of Canadian manufactures as has never been shown before in the Dominion. “Esprit de Corps.” All the tiny cripples in the neighborhood of the settlement house, together with a few able-bodied children, had . been feasted on cake and lemonade. When one of the deformed mites was ready to go home he missed his coat, which search failed to find. The young woman who had been ministering to the wants of the company had seen one of the able-bodied girls go out with something under her shawl too bulky to be secreted cake. “Run, my dear, to Jenny,” she said to one of the lads. “In picking up her shawl perhaps she got hold of something else by mistake.” The boy moved off on his stumpy crutch, and when he returned he held the coat up in triumph. The “accident” had happened; Jenny had picked it up with the shawl. The crippled children crowded close round the young woman in great perturbation. Their self-respect had been wounded, and they looked disdainfully at the few sound children among them. Finally one of the lads said: “Miss Martin, it ain’t one of us that did it. Jenny ain’t a cripple; she’s on’y a Sunday school!”

Chief of Police Saved.

Newberry, S. C.—W. H. Harris Chief of Police, of Newberry, says: “1 suffered for a number of years with kidney complaint. There was a dull aching across the small of my back that was worse at night and made m« feel miserable air the time. The kidney secretions w'ere dark and full ol sediment, and lack of control compelled me to rise a number of times during the night. Between this annoyance and the backache It was Impossible foi me to get much sleep and my health was being undermined. I tried a number of remedies, but nothing helped me until I got Doan's Kidney Pills. The use of this remedy according to directions promptly brought about a change for the better. After using two boxei the backache all left me, the kidney secretions cleared up and the action ol the kidneys becnme normal.” A FREE TRIAL of this great kidney medicine which cured Chief Harrli will be mailed to any part of the United States.

Where Women Are Ruled.

“Are there clubs for women in this town?” asked the suffragist from ths East. “Certainly not,” replied the gallant Westerner. “We can handle women without clubs.”—Chicago Post. People whe are excessively fond of sugar and confectionery are called “saccharomaniacs.” Prof. Oostou, a British chemist, declares that kidney and liver complaints are caused by too much Indulgence In sugar. Have used Piso’s Cure for Consumption nearly two years, and find nothing to compare with it.—Mr*. Morgap, Berkeley. Cal., Bept.2, 1901. Beware a dnsty, musty carpet; better sweetness and a bare floor.

PROGRESS OF THE WAR

So far as is known General Kouropatkln has been on the defensive since the 16th and 17th of July, when he sent about 20,000 men under General Keller to Motien pass to develop the | Japanese strength at that point. It ) was found to be greater than had been looked for. Although the Russians surprised the Jap outposts and fought gallantly for a day they were compelled to fall back with an admitted loss of over 1,000. It was learned that a powerful Japanese army was massed near Motien pass, threatening Llaoyang, but a high price was paid for the information. Little was heard from General Oku’s army during the week. The Russians report that their outposts south of Tatcheklao and those of uie Japanese are less than four miles apart and that constant skirmishing is kept np. On the 19th reinforcements which General Oku is said to have been waiting for were disembarked at Yinkow under the protection of Japanese cruisers. The Dew troops will make good his losses due to fighting and 9 to sickness. Reports from Newchwang, which may or may not be trustworthy, are to the effect that on the 20th General Oku continued his frontal movement, although delayed by heavy rain While General Oku has remained near Tatcheklao, menacing the Russian right and ready to follow it swiftly if It should fall back toward the north, General Kurokl has been extremely active at the other end of the long Russian line. On the 18th, the day after General Keller fell back from Motien pass, General Kurokl took the offensive and set out to capture Kiatoung on the Ohl River, northwest of the pass and east of Anplng. After two days’ fighting the Russian were driven back and the Japanese occupied Kl&otung. They put their loss at fifty-four killed and 369 wounded and that of the Russians at a much higher

figure. No detailed Russian reports of the fighting have been received. There are rumors at St. Petersburg that General Ivurokl has turned the Russian left flank and captured Liaoyang. The rumors are hardly credible. Another story Is that General Kurokl has reached a point only a few miles east of a station on the railroad between Llaoyang and Mukden. That is doubtful. But it Is certain that he has secured much better strategic lines for his advance in the direction of the railroad. General Rennenkampff’s Cossack army lies to his north and •ast, but he probably has men enough to take care of It The Rurlk, Rossla, and Gromobol of the Vladivostok squadron—the Bogatyr apparently has been too badly injured to make It safe to take It along—left port last week and resumed the task of worrying their adversaries. With great contempt for Admiral Kamlmura, who seems to bo fated not to meet them, they dashed boldly through the Tsugaru strait, which divides the islands of Yezo and Nippon, and went out on the open Pacific. Then they turned to the south and have been sighted at different points off the east coast of Japan. They were last seen from a point west of Yokohama and were then heading south. There are many surmises as to the Intentions of the squadron. It may be on Its way to Formosa to destroy what shipping is In its ports. It may be heading for the neutral port of Saigon In French China, or be on the road to tiie Red Sea to take the place of the volunteer fleet Another conjecture la that It Is looking out for American vessels bound for Yokohama with supplies for the Japanese army. No trustworthy news haa come from Port Arthur for over a week. The Japanese are silent and it Is becoming difficult for the besieged Russians to let the outer world know how they fare.

Newchwang was evacuated by ths Russians, following two days’ fighting in (ho vicinity, In which the Japanese scored at least on* victory, ths Rosalan loss being 700, according to a report. An agreeable person is one whe talks to you about yourself.

THE THEATER OF WAR.

Relative Positions of the Armies in Manchuria Shown by the Map. The map indicates the changed positions in the opposing armies, caused by the northward movement of the Japanese toward Mukden. Langts# Pass, where General Count Keller is in a strong position, is pointed out, as Is Kaltou, where severe fighting took place. Along a line extending practically from Liao-Yang to Ta Pass Is located at present the Russian left flank, which the Japanese are reported to have broken. No news comes, however, that they have yet crossed the Taitse River, and until the feat Is accomplished it can hardly be said that Mukden is menaced. A turning movement, with the object of striking LlaoY'ang from the north, is probably what the Mikado’s commanders Intend. Si-Chiao Pass, which has been occupied by a Japanese force of 5,000 men, with artillery, is indicated in the map. Kiaotung, whence the Russians were driven, also is shown. _ With the exception of this advance of Kurokl’s right wing, and Its progress to the Chi River, the positions of the opposing armies remain relatively unchanged. Heavy rains In the Tatchekiao-Hal-Oheng district apparently have Impeded ths operations of Oku’s and Nodzu’a forces. little news comes from Port Arthur, but It Is presumed that Field Marshal Oyama Is tightening his lines about It

War News in Brief.

Many Japanese have been withdrawn from the positions near Tatcheklao to re-enforce Kurokl, who is believed to have turned the flank of Keller’s army. Orders have been issued to the Russian cruisers St Petersburg and Smolensk to cease interfering with foreign shipping in the Red Sea, and it la expected they will join the Baltic squadron. A basis of settlement Is said to have been reached with Great Britain, and the Gen

man liner Scandia has been released at Port Said under orders from St Petersburg. A Chinese merchant, who was among the last of the foreigners to make his way from Port Arthur, arrived in Victoria, B. G., and describes the plight of the Inhabitants of the besieged city. The troops levy on all stores, he says, and only five of the warships are seaworthy. Great Britain’s bill for damages against Russia for demurrage and other indemnities connected with the arrest, detention and shelling of British ships In the Red eea will probably bs very heavy. Already it is roughly estimated at $6,000,000. A Toklo correspondent says he believes the object of the Vladivostok squadron is to Interrupt trade between the United States and Japan and that steamers on the way from Canada and San Francisco are in serious danger. He says another aim of the squadron is apparently to seal Toklo bay. Russia’s Vladivostok squadron sunk the American steamer Knight Commander, from New York, off the province of Izu, after transferring the crew of the Knight Commander to the steamer Tsinan. The Vladivostok squadron also captured a German vessel, believed to be th* Arabia, with a cargo of flour and an unknown British steamer. The two vessels were sent to Vladivostok In charge of prize crews. According to Washington authorities any action which may be taken regarding the seizure of the British ship Ardova, carrying stores destined for Manila, bf the Russian volunteer fleet steamer Smo lensk Is a matter for the British government. It does not in the least concert the United States. No shipments of Philippine stores or other supplies are made by the army or the navy in other than American bottoms. Congress by special enactment at its last session expressly prohibited such shipments in foreign vessels. John Bassett Meore, authority on International law, in discussing the seizure of merchant ships by Russian war vessels, holds that food and cotton cannot be considered contraband, and defines the position of ths United States, as indicated during the Spanish war. The, presence of a large number of Japaneee transports at the head of the Gnlf of Liaotung and nine gunboats in a nearby port is held to Indicate that the plan is to take Ylnkow next. Kuopatkln seems to be nearly surrounded, for 80,000 Japanese are reported advancing on Mukden.

THE BOYHOOD OF RADISSON.

Never had a hoy more stirring adventures than had young Pierre d’Esprit Radisson, a French lad, who, when be became a man, explored the region about the head of Lake Superior, and Is believed by .some historians tq have been the first to discover the Mississippi, Radisson was but 17 years old, Says Leslie’s Monthly, and bad been but a year in America when, in 1652, he was captured near Three Rivers by a war party of Iroquois Indians. The lad waa out hunting ducks along the St Lawrence with two comrades when they discovered signs of Indians. It was more ignorance and foolhardiness than courage which made him refuse to go back to the fort with them, but to the Indians who, hidden In ambush, heard the conversation, it Beemed like the type of bravery they most admired. When they shot at him and he returned their fire before fleeing, their admiration increased, and they did not kill him, as they did his companions, but took him up Lake Champlain and Lake George to their vibage, where he was adopted. His conduct as a prisoner increased their admiration, for he slept so soundly between his guards that he had to be wakened in the morning, and he waa ever one of the most eager on the march. To test his prowess, he was sent on a hunting trip with an Algonkin captive and three young Iroquois. The Algonkin killed the Iroquois against Radlsson’s protest, and the two fled, but before they could reach Three Rivers they were overtaken. The Algonkin was killed, but Radisson, as a traitor to the tribe, was brought back for torture. This time his sufferinge were terrible. There were many other prisonera some of whom were tortured in most horrible fashion while the boy was compelled to look on; but he displayed no emotion, although he was trembling Inwardly. He was left bound among the rest for the children to amuse themselves with. One gnawed his fingers. Another cut them with a stone. Others burned the soles of his feet and shot darts Into his body. He bore it all without flinching, however, and made neither protest nor outcry when a warrior thrust his thumb Into the bowl of a lighted pipe and held it there. The result of this was 'tremendous admiration among the Indians, and when the chief who had formerly adopted him made a plea for his life, his petition was granted. For a year Radisson remained a member of the tribe during the horrible war of extermination carried on by the Iroquois against the Hurons. With .a war party he made a' long Journey up the Mohawk and into the country beyond Lake Ontario, where a village of Hurons was exterminated. Radisson managed to save one woman from the village and lead her back to the Iroquois settlement, where she became his foster-mother’s slave. The boy soon sickened of the horror of the savage life, but the forest had a never-ending fascination for him. He learned it as the Indians knew It He was taught how to make and use bark canoes, how to follow a trail, how to read signs by which the presence of enemies or friends might be known, how to tell Indians of the different tribes apart and how to speak their tongues. Indeed, he learned the very things that, when he finally escaped to the Dutch settlements on the Hudson, gave him the best possible equipment for his life work of exploration In the unknown Northwest

Arriving at a Verdict.

Kusbeqna, Pa., Aug. I.—(Special.) In this section of Pennsylvania there Is a growing belief that for such Kidney Diseases as Rheumatism and Lame Back there Is only one sure cure and that is Dodd’s Kidney Pills. This belief grows from such cases as that of Mrs. M. L. Davison of this place. She tells the story herself as follows: “I have suffered from Rheumatism for thirty years and find that Dodd’s Kidney Pills have done me more good than any medicine I have ever taken. I was also bothered with Lame Back and I can only say that my back hasn’t bothered me since I took Dodd’s Kidney Pills.” Considering that Mrs. Davison only took two boxes of Dodd’s Kidney Pills, the result would be considered wonderful if it were not that others are reporting similar results dally. Kushequa is fast arriving at a verdict that “Dodd’s Kidney Pills are the one sure cure for Rheumatism.”

Men Killed in War.

A French statistician, Dr. Charles Ricket, has arrived at the following estimate of the number of men who died In the wars carried on by the various Christian nations during the last century. The total reaches to the figure of 14,600,000. It Is made up as follows: Napoleonic wars, 8,000,000; Crimean war, 800,000; Italian war, 80,000; American civil war, 600,000; Franco-German war, 800,000; RussoTurklsh war, 400,000; civil wars In South America, 600,000; various colonial expeditions in India, Algeria, Mexico, Tonquln, Abyssinia, South Africa and Madagascar, 8,000,000.

An Unfair Advantage.

The Czar —Why did you loss that battle? Gen. Zolticoff —The Japanese attacked oa In our rear. “I waa Informed that they attacked you In front” “Y-s-s, bat that waa onr rear when they got there.” When the under arch of the upper eyelid Is a perfect semi-circle It is Indicative of goodness, bat also of timidity, sometimes approaching cowardice.
