As soon as the train pulled out Mr. Antrim led the cub to a pool of water near the station.

The report from Lientenant General Sakharoff is as follows: "From 5 o'olook this morning until 9 tonight the Japanese forces attacked our front al positions before Liao Yang and on the left bank ol the Taitse river. Both their artillery and rille lite was intense. Thoir main efforts are direct ed against our centor positions and left flank, Ijt numerous attacks were repulsed along the whole line. Our troops made several counter attacks culminating in bayonet fighting. Many positious which had been oc cupied by the Japanese were retaken at four o'olock in tlio afternoon.

FAHINE IN HEAT IS LATEST NEWS CHICAGO, Aug. 111.—A famine in meat is declarod by the strikers in the latest move by the strikers against tlio paokers. Orders have been issuod for a general striko except by the char workmen throughout the country. They are expected togo out tomorrow. The order will affect in all about 2,000 men in Chicago, including tlio independent plants. The ordor, if ob served, will also affect independent plants in large capacity in East St. Louis, Omaha,St. Louis, Kansas City, Sioux City, New York, Milwaukee, Syracuse, Stiokuoy, 111.,and hundreds of small plants throughout tlio coun try,which employed from ton to twen ty men. Altogether union olllials assert that IG,OOO men will go out and the meat supply will be seriously crippled,leav ing as the only supply the output of the big packers by thoir non-union help. Today the pickets surrounding tlio ■tock yards wero largely increased,the yards being watched tor several blocks away. Strike breakors wero warned not to leave the yards. Bitter feeling exists against them. The ftOO stock handlers in the stock yards quit work this forenoon. They were greeted by cheers by the union pickets. The managor of the Union stock yards and transit company said that in an ticipation of a striko of the stock handlors men had beon in training to take the places of deserting weighers and that fifty of such men are availa ble at onco. He said that further no trouble was expected in handling ■tock. The packers say it is Donnelly's aim to create a moat famine, which he thinks would arouso the public to such a pitch of indignation that a settle ment would be forced. "Donnelly is undertaking the im possible," said a representative of one of the packers. "There is little chance of a meat fauiino. Tlio independent packers who by their collusiou with the unions, have profited much during the strike, will sutler most." The Prohibition Alliance.

CONCERNING THE PUBLIC HEALTH It is pretty apparent to every observ ing citizen tliat the publio health just, now is uot BO good as it should be. What makes this (act the least bit dis quieting is that tho prevailing malady is fever. It is true tho cases are not all diagnosed as typhoid (evor, but typhoid is ou the list, aud whether typhoid or uot many of the cases are of a serious type. In the situation there may be nothing abnormal, but in at loast one physician's practico the state of affairs is dangerously near tho limit. It is not tho intention to creato a scare, but rather to call attention to a few common Beuse measures, wiso at all tinicß but doubly so at the close of summer, which is the season that ty phoid is apt to mako its appearanco. The ouly remedy and the only pre caution lios iu cleanliness and in ox eroisiug care as to tho source of drink ing water. Ever since tho dreadful outbreak of typhoid at Butlor there seems to be a solioitude generally felt throughout the couutry. The precau tion recommended Is to boil all wator that is used for drinking. This is be ing done at present by a good many people iu Dauville. The river is still contaminated with sewage from tho Hospital for the Insane; neither are the several wells still iu use about town above suspicion so that boiliug the water is tho ouo precaution OFseu tial in both casoß. Tliero are many places about town wliero drainage is defective and waste water drains from tho rear of the liousos to the stieet in front where it lies in the gutters until it becomes a breeding place for diseaso germs. This Conncil has decided must not be and the Chief of Police has instructions to notify people to abate such nuisances instantly under poualty of arrest. J KM ISTKR'H NOTICKB.

WILD STEER ON THERAIPAGE An eleveu-hundred pound steer while being led to the slaughter Saturday afternoon esoaped and went on a most remarkable rampage. The beast seem ed to realize what was in store for turn and to be determined to sell his life as dearly as possible. Several per sons narrowly esoaped being injured by the infuriated auimal as he charg ed through people's back yards and attacked tlic boats as he swam the riv er in his fruitless dash for liberty. The steer was a large dark colored auimal pnroliased of Drover J. O. Campbell, Rush township,and by him delivered at Lyon's cattle pen oa Wed nesday. On Saturday afternoon the beef was led out to the slaughter house. Aronud his neok was a loug rope of thirty feet or more, which was to be used in drawing him up for slaught er. Before the end of the rope could bo slipped through the ling the steer, whioh was of a very wild disposition, made a dash for liberty and with Oharles White and another attache of the slaughter house hanging onto the long rope ran out over Kerry street and across the cinder tip to the rear of Mill street where with the two men still tugging at the rope he dashed through the gate leading into the back yard of Bernheimer's clothing store. No obstaole sufficed to check the frantiii steer and he plnnged through the fence into tho back yard of Miss Waters' millinery, while another leap took him into the yard adjoining, which is back of Butterwick's jew elry store. Up to ihis point a path of ruin and broken fences marked his course through the back yards. At Mr. Butterwiok's, however, he was prepared to give his grand stand performance. After capering about the yard for a moment he made sn assault on thb basement wiudow. There was a report of shattered glass aa the animal ram med his horns through. His intention was evidently to seek refuge in the basement, but he was prevented by an inside shutter, strongly built, which had been placod there by Mr. Butter wiok to add greater security. At this point the steer leaped back in the yard of the milliuery, where tiie two men were still alingiug to the rope. As the animal aharged in their direotion they were glad to let go and run tor their lives. They had an ex ceedingly close call aud Mr. White did not entirely esoape. He had barely got through the gate leading out of the yard when he was struok by the steer aud hurled violently to the ground, sustaining bruises but no serious in jury. The animal, now wholly free, took to the canal whioli he followed as far as Church street,where he made direct for the river. The ferry boat loaded with people and teams had just left the Danville shore when tho big steer came rushing down to the river. He did not hesitate a moment but with a mighty leap plunged into the water, still swollen as the result of the reoent rains, and began to.swim toward the South Danville shore Before proceeding far he changed hia oourse In the dirootion of the ferry and to the consternation of the people on board soon came op alongside. About this time several boats rowed oat fiom the Danville shore in pursuit of the ruuaway steer and it was not long until he had more than lie could do to beat off his pursuers. It was a remarkable speotacle, how ever. As the several boats dosed round to get hold of the long rope, which was still fast to the steer, the latter handioapped as he was by the water,put op a valient tight. The men in the boats,among whom was Charles White from whom the sleer escaped, were obliged to use their poles to beat the infuriated auimal off. At one time lie seemed on the verge of getting his front feet into one of the boats. Finally as the opposite shore was approached, oue of the pursuers suc ceeded in getting hold of the rope. The steer seemed to realize his oppor tunity and striking bottom about this time he made a dash for shore drag ging the row boat after lilin at a rate which oast the best record of the naph tha launches far Into the shade. Strik ing the shore the boat and its ocoup auts were dragged ont upon the sand, while the steer sought refugo among the bushes. Here with the aid of a tree the rope was quiokly snubbed and the auimal made secure for the time being. His eyes by this timo were wild and blood shot and liis rage was appalling. No power oonld restrain bim and it was not long before he broke the rope and charging opon some men who stoodln the way he rushed baok into the river. He soon turned, however, and struok out in a bee liijS for the ferry land ing, whfoh was well-filled with peo ple. Many in waitiug at the spot were women and ohildren and It was all they could do to get out of the way. From the ferry landing the steer made his way up through South Dan ville and disappeared iu the direction of Drover Campbell's farm.
