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'

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. Kreider

of the law.
The language of the Act of Assem
bly under which the arrest was made
is as follows:

son convicted shall pay a fine of $25
for each net,and also a fine of ten dol
lars for each fish unlawfully kept, to
gether with forfeiture of nets and all
other appliances so used, to the flub
commissioner.

arraigned before Justice Carpenter of
Sunbury and October 4th was fixed an

boats and other paraphernalia he finds
and Rome trouble may result.
According to the law, nets having

THE COMING
MILTON FAIR
The managers of the Milton Fair
Association are more than pleased
with tho encouraging outlook for a
successful fall meeting. 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.
The Fiftieth Annual Fair of the Col
umbia County Agricultural Society
will bo held October 11, 12, 13 and 14.

large addition to the grand stand has
just been completed where all may be
comfortably seated. You will witnoss
the largt st exhibit ever held on these
grounds. The Miniature Railway, the
Ferris Wheel,the Merry-go-Round and
various amusements on the Pike will
enliven the occasion.
The racing program will be as fol
lows : Wednesday, 2:18 pace, 2:27
trot aud County Race. Thursday, 2:15
pace, 2:17 trot and 2:21 pace. Friday,

of John Carcon, William Murphy, Pa
trick Murphy, William K. Martin and
Frank Green, serving ten years in the
Pottvsille jail for burglary aud assault

A sworn confession from Dennis
Grummel, a convict, that he aud five
others,uouo of whom are the men now
in jail, are guilty of the crime for
which they wero convicted, was sub
mitted. The board suggested that
Grummet's confession must be corro
borated before the case can be favor
ably considered. Counsel for the pris
oners asked for a continuance,in order
that corroborative evidence might be
suhmittod.
The board took the matter under con
sideration. Several other cases, in
cluding that of Samuel Greasou, the
alleged negro accomplice of Mrs. Kate

under sentence of death in the Berks
county prison, were heard. No final
action was taken in any of these cases.

Over=Work Weakens
Your Kidneys.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
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.
