JAPANESE CAPTURE HOLY CITY Mukden Falls Into the Hands of Field Marshal Oyama's Victorious Hosts, Who Have Surrounded Kouropatkin'* Forces. • >. All reports from the far East indi­ cate that Kouropatkin's retreat has not been a complete success and that Tie pass may be the scene of an over­ whelming Russian defeat. Oyama re­ ports 40,000 Russians prisoners, and he estimates their dead and wounded in the Shakhe district alone at 90,000. Kouropatkln Ready to Retire. The St. Petersburg correspondent of the London Times says: "General Kouropatkin has asked the emperor's gracious permission to hand over his command, alleging that he, is. in urg­ ent need of physical and mental rest." Income Tax for Wisconsin. Madison, Wis., dispatch: The as­ sembly has passed, by a vote of 78 to 16, a Joint resolution to amend the constitution, to allow the legislature to authorize aa Income tax. Tale, of the Retreat. Hemmed in by the victorious iegions of Field Marshal Oyama, with Mukden and Fushun lost and with an army demoralized by repeated re­ pulses, Kouropatkin must surrender, according to the opinions of many military critics at London. Dispatches from Tokio, Yinkow and Newcbwang indicate that the Russian retreat is a rout, that the soldiers are panicstrickefn and that enormous numbers of prisoners and great quantities of stores ha.ve be­ come spoils of war to the Japanese. The line of retreat, apparently, is toward the hill country to the north­ east, and it is rot believed that the Russians can keep up their resist­ ance for many days. There is intense anxiety here to learn whether the chain Oyama has drawn around them will be strong enough to hold. The Russian forces must be in a terrible plight, and a repetition of all the horrors of Na­ poleon's retreat from Moscow is re­ garded as among the possibilities. On the other hand the Japanese armies, which must be suffering from ex- when the big battle started must have .numbered nearly 2,000 pieces. It is likely that Kouropatkin has sac­ rificed a^ great part of these and r is bending all his energies to extricat­ ing his army. Oyama reports to Tokio that his surrounding movement has "completely succeeded," which probably means that all effort in this direction Is hopeless. The result of Oyama's great turn­ ing movement depends almost entire­ ly upon Kawamura's army, which has not yet been located definitely, al­ though supposed to be moving from the east toward Kouropatkin's line of retreat. Should he reach the mili­ tary road, which runs almost in a di­ rect line from Fushun to Tie Pass, before the passage of the Russian army; the circle will be complete, as Nogi's guns already command the rail­ way and should soon control the Man­ darin road, which is but a short dis­ tance east of the railway and runs parallel with it. The army of Gep. Kaulbarft, which has been pressed back across the western plain, fighting every inch of ground, is moving northward in an effort to protect the line of retreat from the attacks from the westward, while Gen. Bilderling is protecting the rear against Gens. Oku and Nodzu, and Linevitch is doing his best to hold the military road against Kuroki. They have numbers against them, but have succeeded against odds in simi­ lar retreats before. The appearance of Gen. Kawamura would render futile all their efforts. The army which Gen. Grippenberg turned over to Gen. Kaulbars when he left Manchuria and a portion of which Gen. Bilderling commanded, consisted of Gregoff's cavalry, Mist- chenko's mobile division and the Fifth, Sixth, Eighth, Tenth and Sev­ enteenth army corps, extending from JAPS' DEADLY CIRCLE.

Accepting the challenge of Gen. Kouropatkin, the wily Japanese lead­ er sent part of his troops around the left of the Russian forces, while keep- ,i<v haustion, possibly might enable Kouropatkin to gather his forces and break through. He is said to have been a spectator at Sedan, and it is believed the memories of those days will suffice to convince him of the hopelessness of the struggle. According to one report Kouropat­ kin's last dispatch was sent from Tie pass, and he will almost immediate­ ly transfer his quarters to Harbin. The Daily Telegraph's Tokio corre­ spondent asserts that the Russians were completely ignorant of the movements of the Japanese and that the appearance of the latter in the Sinmiutin district was a surprise. Kouropatkin's disaster, the corre- respondent adds, was largely due to an inefficient intelligence department. The Japanese have not yet report­ ed the capture of guns, which they generalf5|)do almost immediately, but it seems hardly likely that Kouro­ patkin could have removed all of his artillery. On Jan. 1, according to correspondents who have just re­ turned from Mukden, the Russians had in position along the Shakhe and Him rivers 1,500 guns, including a number of six and eight inch guns on cement foundations straddling the railway just north of Shakhe station. In addition, many guns arrived in Mukden during January and Febru­ ary , so that the Russian artillery 8TRIKES OIL IN ILLINOIS BORE Gas Company Drills Down 800 Feet and Discovers Some Petroleum.

According to latest reports the enemy has been routed at fearful cost and Tieling appears to offer but a poor refuge for the defeat­ ed hosts. "Hie Russian loss may reach 200,000 killed and wounded. the Liao river to the Mandarin road. Gen. Linevitch's army, which held the important positions at the bend of the Shakhe' river, including Erdagou hill, compr|sed the First European and the First, Second, Third and Fourth Siberian corps, Rennenkampff's mo­ bile division and Samsonoff's cavalry. Th<? troops which arrived in January and February, probably two corps, are not included in this list. The losses in the operations9 preced­ ing the battle and those in the battle proper must have reached enormous proportions, but up to the present neither side has attempted an esti­ mate. They will exceed the Shakhe losses, in which the Russians alone lost in killed and wounded and miss­ ing 67,000 men. Field Marshal Oyama arranged his attack so that the Chinese city of Mukden should not come within the range of battle, rather an easy task, as the Russians had no positions im­ mediately around the city, as was the case at Liao Yang, and the Russian town is two miles from the outer walls of the old city. The western imperial tombs were under shell fire, but no account has been given of the damage, if any, that they suffered. The eastern tombs, around which the Russians had erected positions, appar­ ently did not come within the range of the Japanese shells.

Rutter of the New York Central railroad, who began his career as clerk for the Erie railroad, giving such exceptional service that he was promoted rapidly. Vanderbilt offered him $15,000 a year to go over to the New York Central road as general manager; he accepted the position. It was a place of great responsibility and often Rutter waa perplexed as to just what course he should take. On one of these occar siens he called upon Vanderbilt and laid the matter before him. Vanderbilt demanded: "What does the New York Central pay you $15,000 a year for?" "To manage the freight business," replied Rutter. . ^ "Then manage it," was the gist of Vanderbilt's answer. Rutter went back%o his office and worked out the problem; and he nev­ er asked again for help in matters pertaining to his own position. Macaroni 'Wheat.

Every sufferer from nervous headache knows how completely it unfits one for the duties and pleasures of life. Any little excitement, or over-exertion, or ir­ regularity brings it on. Sometimes the pain is over the whole head. Again it is like a nail driven into the brain, or a wedge splitting it open, or a baud tight­ ening about it. At one time it is all in the top of the head, at another it is all at the base of the skull. Most headaches can be traced to some faulty state of the blood. When the blood is scanty or charged with poison, and the nerves are imperfectly nourished and the digestion weak, one of the com­ monest results is frequent and severe headaches. The important thing is to get rid of the diseased condition of the blood that causes the attack by the use of a remedy that will do the work quickly and thoroughly. What is that remedy? The experience of Miss Ellen McKenna fur­ nishes the answer. She says : "For more than seven years I was a great sufferer from nervous headache and dizziness. My stomach was disordered, and I became so restless that I could not sit still any length of time. Dizziness interrupted my work greatly. At first the attacks were not so severe, but they gradually grew more violent, and linally became so acute that I was on tfejlfcpoiiit of relinquishing my membershrfPln this different organizations to which I be* longed," "What saved you from that necessity?" " A very simple thing; the call of a member of one of the clubs,who strongly advisedmetotryDr.Williams' PinkPilfil before giving up. I acted on her sugges­ tion at once, and after steadily using thia great blood and nerve remedy for two months, my headaches and my dizzi­ ness entirely disappeared. Miss McKenna is secretary of the Associated Ladies' Guild, and resides at No. 48 Wait street, Roxbnry, Mass. Dr. "Williams' Pink Pills have cured many hundreds of similar cases, and can he confidently recommended to drive aB poisons from the blood and to give needed strength to the nerves.
