HOT SHOT FOR THE OPPOSITION Loyal Support to the Republican Party's Candidates and the Organi zation All Along the Line. Never have the editors of Republican newspapers throughout Pennsylvania manifested a more lively interest in the success of the Republican candi dates —local, state and national, than In the present campaign. They have lined up enthusiastically for the whole Republican ticket, and they are dally pouring hot shot into the ranks of the opposition. There is no insurgency, thero is no swerving either to the right or left, but all aro united in sus taining the magnificent administration of President Roosevelt and In stead fastly supporting the Republican or ganization. Here are a few excerpts from newspapers published in this state bearing upon the political situa tion: Good Politics and Good Sense. It is very essential to the best In terests of the country that a Republi can house of representatives should be elected at the coming fall elections. It would mean that the congress would, at its next reorganization continue to b« a harmonious body, politically, and capable of acting upon definite lines of legislation In accordance with the policies of the dominant party. There does not seem to be any rea son why a Republican house should not be elected. Nothing has occurred to present a new situation to the coun try warranting a reversal of its pre vious endorsements of Republi' Islatlon and Republican ™ the 63d congress, t h Republican e- ' FIRST ATTACK OF BATTLE OF MUKDEN ST. PETERSBURG. Sept. 21.-2:30 p. m.—Gen. Kuropatkin telegraphing under yesterday's date, declares that the situation at the front is unchang ed. He describes an ontpost fight Tuesday at Da Pass, half way between Bentsioaptze aud Siutsiu. A Japanese force consisting of four troops marched up from Dzaotichan, twenty-three miles northeast of Sai madzi and tried to capture the pass aud turn the Russian left flank, but the Russians repulsed the attack and the turning movement was checked by Russian cavalry,supported by machine guns. The receipt of the news at Tokio,of the march of the Japanese from Dai antchan was the probable origin of the minor that Kuroki had crossed the Hun river, which is twenty miles north of Da Pass. The most reliable information does not indicate the re sumption of the Japanese offensive tor some days. EXPECT BATTLE NEAR MUKDEN TOKIO, Sept. 21.—An impression is growing generally that an engagement will soon take p'.ace at Mukden. Gen eral Kuropatkin is evidently preparing to make a determined resistance to any attempt to dispossess him and is entrenching and constructing de fences. He has an immense force available, but the opinion is expressed that Tie Pass would be a more favor able location for defense. The Russians, however,ars unyield ing to sutler loss of prestige which would be involved in the abandon ment of Mukden. Both armies are now rested and have recovered from the eflects of the fight at Liao Yang. They are iu condition to fight and the weather is favorable for military op erations. The reads are drying and the Japanese are speedily restoring the railway. A party of military attaches who recently came to Liao Yaug from Tokio wore dragged tor 100 miles in open trucks by coolies. The army is now forwarding rolling stock with captured cars and engines and the ser vice will soon be thoroughly organiz ed. With the Liao river open the task of transporting men and supplies to the advanced base of operations at Liao Yang is simple. There is much speculation now as to the extent of the fall and winter cam paign. It is generally thought that Field Marshal Oyama will coutinue pressing Kuropatkin back until the winter falls and will then strongly guard his advance line until spring. The Japanese carried on an aggressive campaign against the Chinese during the winter, but conditions are differ ent iu this war. A renewal of the attack upon Port Arthur on now and more aggrossivo lines is expected this week, and it is predicted in well-informed quarters that the reduction of that fortress will be accomplished within ten days or a fortnight. The authorities continue silent con cerning operations there. The publica tion of a small list of casualties in the naval brigade,operating on land is the only recent official utterance in refer ence to the siege. The spoils taken at Liao Yang con tinue to grow. Kuroki reports the capture of miles of railroad rails and 200 tons of coal. COURT CONV/P^ 1 USED NETS ILLEGALLY J-'iali Warden Harmon, who lias been causing trouble for the fishermen iu ♦ lie vicinity of Sunbury for the past, ten days, was busy again Wednesday morning and arrested M P.

The fair opens on Wednesday, October sth, and continues on the (sth and 7th. Secre tary Paul and several clerks have beeu kept busy for somo time sending out advertising matter and answering in quiries, and there is no exaggeration in the statemeut that in every depart ment there is an unusual interest shown by intending exhibitors. The attractions that have been secured to entertain the people are the very best, and are eutirely different from any thing ever shown here. Good music has also been seemed for each day,and the midway will present its usual at tractive features. The poultry exhibits of the Milton fair alone are worth go ing to see if there wasn't anything else to interest you. Special arrange ments have beeu made for nn improv ed service and reduced rates. Demolitions of Retaining Wall. As yet uo dimensions have beou de cided upou as to the length of the pro posed retaiuing wall at the Water Works. The plans will be drawn by Borough Engineer Keefer and will show dimensions and give estimates for two walls, one 85 feet in length and another 155 feet in length. The Water Commissioners seem to fa vor the 155 foot wall taking in ttie en tire leng.h of the Borough property. The smaller structure would include only the length of the Water Works buildings and would leave au open space between the County lot on the west side of the bridge and the filter ing plant. The County Commissioners will be asked to join with the Borough and build a wall along the County lot to adjoin with the Borough structure thus making it continuous from the abutment to the extreme western end of tlie Water Works buildings. Tho wall will be twenty five feet high and will remove all danger of washouts and insure safety to the pump-room during tho heaviest floods. The Great Bloomsburg Fair.

All the blood in your body passes through your kidneys once every three minutes. fThe kidneys are your blood purifiers, they fil ter out the waste or impurities in the blood. If they are sick or out of order, they fall to do their work. Pains, aches and rheu matism come from ex cess of uric acid in the blood, due to neglected kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidney poisoned blood through veins and arteries. It used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their begin ning tn kidney trouble. If you are sick you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases and is sold on its merits by all druggists in fifty cent and one-dollar siz- "^353 es. You may have a sample bottle by mail nnme of swamp-Root, free, also pamphlet telling you how to find out if you have kidney or bladder trouble. Mentton this paper when writing Dr. Kilmer & Co., Blnghamton, N. Y. Don't make no mistake, but remem ber the name, Swanp-Root, Dr. Kil mer's Swamp-Root, and the addres Biughamton, N.Y ~ on every bottles. MILTON FAIR.
