Second Division Moves Quickly.
The First corps was mobilized . very
quickly and transported with. a, celerity
and ease that are models for any fighting
nation. The Second corps has had thirteen
days In which to mobilise, and as far as
ran be judged by one Who has no more
facilities for observation than the extraordi
narily secretive Japanese permits, Its work
has been done as well as that of the First.
The last, of them should be In UJlna,
whence it is expected that It will depart,
within two days. This Second corps Is
composed of the first division, whose head
quarters are at Toklo; the third, from Na
goya, and the fourth, from Osaka. The
first division comprises the First and Sec
ond brigades, oompoied of the First In
fantry, from Toklo; and the Fifteenth,
from Matsumato; and the Second, from
Rakura; and the Third, from Takasakl.
In the Third division there are the Fifth
brigade, headquarters at Nagoya. com
posed of the Sixth and Thirty-third ln-
' fantry, both quartered at Nngoya, and
the Seventeenth brigade, headquarters at
Toyohashl, composed of the Eighteenth
Infantry, quartered at Toyohashl, and the
. Thirty-fourth, quartered at Bhtsuoka. The
headquarters of the Fourth division Is at
Osaka. It is composed of the Seventh bri
gade headquarters at Osaka, which com
prises the Eighth and Thirty-seventh In
fantry, both quartered at Oeaka, and the
.Nineteenth brigade, headquarters at Fu
shlml, comprising the Ninth Infantry from
Otsu and the Thirty-eighth, from Fushlml.

, In transporting these troops over the se
the Japanese have the advantage of a very
short haul. They are not obliged to keep
the men aboard ship more than very few
days at the most and can transfer them
subject to more crowding If necessary than
. would be possible If . the journey were
longer. The official estimate of spaoe neces

, It is popularly believed here In Toklo,
Where mighty little exact information
enmes to the surface, that great many
troops will be concentrated on the Island
of Tsushima, in the Corean straits, if indeed
they have not been sent there already, and
that when the time comes they will be
simply marched aboard ship as thick as
they can stand and hustled around- to
Halju, about day's steaming. As mat
ter of .fact, the men already transported
were not so crowded as the official estimate
.would seem to-imply. On most of the
transports horses were taken also, or sup
plies of one sort or another, so that no
' effort was made to take all the men they
could carry.
The Japanese do not attempt to fit bunks
for their soldiers, as we do. Each man
sleeps on a mat two feet and half wide
by five feet eight Inches long, which he
lays down on the deck. On these trans
k ports the men sleep on the upper deck and
the horses were carried on the main and
lower decks and In the hold. Each horse

and look them over i5c, fl.00,
tlon and one man's guess Is just as good
as another's. So far, nothing has ap
peared to make anything clear. The main
road In Corea leads . directly from Ping
Tang to Wl Ju, on, the Talu river. Beyond
that, It bears sway up through the moun
tains, by way of Feng Huang Cheng
toward Mukden. The Japanese are already
In force at Ping Tang. It seems to be the
expectation here to second corps now going
forward will go to Corea also. If ' that !
turns out to be the fact. It will Indicate
that they probably intend to push up the
areat road toward Mukden. That will
mean "a big fight somewhere about Feng
Huang Cheng. The country Is very moun-
talnous and the road exerable. It is so
bad that It has been explicitly said at the
War office that the army would not under
take to employ wheeled transportation of
any kind, but that implies that the army
will endeavor to get along without field
guns, and it Is safe to say that an at-
tempt to drive the Russians out of their I
strong positions with only the assistance
of mountain guns will be extremely hazard-1
,
Port Arthur Is Fated
This line of attack, however, threatening
the Russian line at the center, would keep
the Muscovites guessing. To occupy Muk
den would be to command Port Arthur and
Vladivostok at once. The vaunted fortress
at the dip of the Liau Tung peninsula has
already demonstrated Its weakness and is
rapidly assuming the condition of a very
sore felon at the tip of a long finger. When
the Japanese get ready to cut the peninsula
and ut supplies Fort . Arthur must come
dowii, unless it U prepared for a much
longer siege than- seems to be the case.
The Chinese have declared their lieu-
rrallfy in all countries west of the Llau
river and the Japanese have acoepted It.
That means that a turning movement on
Mukden ln suDnort of the main attack on
Feng Huang Cheng would have to land

mat, too, proves to be as much overrated

strong column operating up from New
Chwang would undoubtedly give the Rus-
slans great trouble and be of tremendous
assistance to the main columns in its heavy
task of getting through the mountains be-
yond the Corean frontier.
There remains Vladivostok, protected by
an Impassable river, the Tumen, and by
rugged mountains, and defended by bills
and great guns. There is talk that the
Japanese can go up Amur bag and iahd
men behind the town under cover of the
guns of the navy. If that is possible It
makes their task much simpler. But if
they have to land on the mainland below
Posslet bay and march up the job Is riot
likely to be finished this summer. They
have already sent some troops to Cencan,
on the east coast of Corea, about half way
up, and there Is talk that column will
be landed thereabouts to march toward
Vladivostok. That will be hike worth
seeing. If it Is attempted.

SALOON LOBBY IS WORRIED
Bill Limiting Tims of Comsat Orisrs is
Likely to Go Throafn
HAS ALREADY PASSED THE SENrtU
Pnts Dealers to Expense of ieewrln
Sew Petitions Erery Three .or
Fonr f eavrs Where Oppo
sition Is Strong;.
(From Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, April 1 (8peclal.) The
passage through the senate ot the bill to
limit the time of consent orders under the
mulct law of Iowa has stirred up the Whole
question of the saloons In Iowa.
It has been expected for some time that
there would be no legislation of any kind
affecting either the saloons or drug stores
or Interfering In any way with tho liquor
business. Early In the legislative session
several bills were introduced affecting these
questions and they were given some con
sideration. When It became evident that
the state marshal bill could not pass and
the effort to lengthen the hours of saloons
was failure, then it was assumed that
the bill to limit the life of saloon consent
petitions would not pass. The senate wss
polled and It Is claimed that an absolute
majority of the members pledged them
selves that they would not allow the bill
to go through. ..
But later the situation changed and then
the bill was amended so that it applies only
to counties and to cities of less than 5,000
population, and in this form it got a suffi
cient number of votes ln th senate. The
lobby was so confident that the bill had
been headed off In the senate that no atten
tion had been paid to the house at all. Now
the bill is ln a house committee that Is
favorable to the legislation and the com
mittee will meet on Tuesday to consider It.
The lobby Is much exercised over th Situa
tion, and It Is generally believed ithat the
bill will go through. It makes a material
change ln the mulct law, putting the deal
ers In liquor to the expense of securing
new petitions every three or four years
where there is considerable minority of
the voters opposed to the legalising ot the
saloons.
Primary Election Law. .
The Tolk county primary election bill.
which was Introduced ln the house by
Representative English and which passed
that body last week, was adopted ln the
senate without opposition this morning.
The bill Is Intended to cover remedies' for
all the evils which have been complained
of at recent primary elections In Dee
Moines and Polk county,' and is plain and
exhaustive In Its features.
Senator Crossley, who had threatened
to oppose the measure, before the final
vote was taken as a matter of personal
privilege, and explained that while the
bill was ln his opinion not what it should
be and not what he had hoped would be
adopted for the state, it was declared
It would legalise, the primaries in. Polk
county and he therefore Intended to vote
for it. .
The bill by Senator Stlrton, permitting
cities and towns to appropriate not to ex
ceed 20 per cent of their receipts from the
mulct saloon tax to the support of publlo
libraries, was taken up and adopted.
A legalising act, aiding the Brook field
Creamery association of Worth county,
was adopted.
The senate adopted the joint resolution
recently passed by the house for a consti
tutional amendment giving the state the
power of eminent domain In construction of
drains and ditches. This resolution was In
troduced to aid the proposed drainage law,
which, some have feared in the form it is
Intended, shall it be adopted, will be un
constitutional. ...
Shortly before noon the board of con
trol bill for state educational institutions
was called up, but when the senate ad
journed at noon no action had been taken.
Senator Qlllllland again assailed the mea
sure and in an eloquent speech defended
the present management of the institu
tions by boards of regents.
Honse Proceedings.
The house had short session today end
passed a bill which had come over from
the senate permitting Insurance companies
to Invest In the stocks of state and savings
banks. The house also passed a senate bill
requiring telegraph and telephone com
panies to file their reports with the county
auditors. An effort was made, but failed.
to get reconsideration of the vote on the
bill to permit school attendance ln an ad
joining district at the expense of the dis
trict where the pupil resides. House ad
journed until 1 p. m. Monday.
Funds of the State.
The quarterly count of the funds of the
state In the possession of the state treas

ernor and the following were found to be
the sums ln the various funds on the books t

The Surgeon's Assistant la a Danger,

The surgeon who Is attending a dangerous
ease praises ths food that helped his little
patient.
"I have a story to tell about what
Grape-Nuts did and Is still doing for my
child, a story marvelous Indeed which
seems almost. incredible, but which Is an
absolute fact
"Two years ago ln March my little 4-year-old
daughter was stricken down with
Tuberculosis of the right hip joint. We
put her In charge of a specialist for treat
ment. He told us that our only hope of
saving her hip and perhaps life in addi
tion to his surgical treatment was to build
up tver system with good nourishing food to
make good rich stood, bone, muscle and fat
which ln time would cure fhe disease by
absorption.
' "This sounded easy, but proved a diffi
cult case to treat as there were so many
foods recommended that did not agree with
her or that she did not like and therefore
would not eat.
"For a year and a half she barely held
her own until Grape-Nuts was tried which
she liked from the first and In two months
gained two pound! ln weight where during
the eighteen months preceding she had lost
weight.
"Now notwithstanding she is also just re
covering from a severe attack of the
whooping cough which she has had for the
last three months, she has gained steadily
In weight. Is growing nicely and her entire
recovery Is promising and hopeful and ws
are confident of complete success.
"Our surgeon Is delighted with the rapid
Improvement she la making and both be
and ourselves are more than thankful that
we tried Grape-Nuts."
The writer of this letter Is the Pastor of
a church- at Warrnvllle. Ohio. Name
given by Pea turn Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

unanimously, and they believe It will be got

copies of the bill ware ordered printed for
the use of the members. The senste paased

In the house this week to permit of special

Take t'p Blndlnsi Twin.
The bill to provide for a binding twine
plant st the state penitentiary at Anamnea
was reported from committee for Indefi
nite postponement, but on the suggestion of
the minority, which signed protest. It
has been made a special order for next
Tuesday, when an effort will be made to
secure the passage of the bill through the
house. It would establish a plant for the
making of twine by convict labor, to be
sold to the farmers of the state st very
small profit.
Miners lyay Sell Coal.
Coal miners here who realise, that, 'if
there Is a greet shortage ot coat owing
to the fact that the mines are shut down,
a corresponding resentment will be felt
toward the miners, have practically de
cided that If the present trouble Is to con
tinue long they will establish an agency
and sell coal so an to prevent the ope
rators from charging exorbitant prices.
They say they will get the coal from the
east and sell It at cost to the consumers,
If necessary. There Is a general feeling
now that the mines will be shut down
only the fifteen days pending further con
sideration of the wage scale, and that st
the end of the fifteen days an agreement
will have been reached and the miners
will go to work as usual. Neither the
miners nor the operators appear to be in
the least disturbed over the situation, but
consumers of coal are much worried.
Tracking Two Pagltlves.
Two fugitives from Polk county Jail,
supposed to be in the northern part of the
county, are being tracked by the sheriff
with bloodhounds. They are "Satan" An
drews, an old man accused of' crimes
against young girls, and L. M. King, Ac
cused of heavy forgeries. They succeeded
in getting out of the temporary Polk
county jail about midnight last night and
are now at large. C. W. Craves, who is
under indictment for the murder of his
wife some time ago, refused to leave the
jail wth them, declaring today that he is
Innocent and would much prefer to re
main and stand trial and establish his
Innocence. The other two men are be
lieved to be very hard characters and
strong effort Is being made to apprehend
them.

when she arrived, at Humphrey to
And that the young man who had been
murdered there Was no other than her
son Jlmmle, Mrs. O'Brien of 403 Four
teenth avenue, Minneapolis, arrived In
Norfolk last night and with all haste drove
from this city to her destination while the
moonlight made the way clear, only to
discover that her fears and worry and
mental strain had been without founda
tion and -that the body of the boy who
was killed belonged to some other mother.
Mrs. O'Brien had sent a photograph of
one of the family to Humphrey and re
quested the sheriff to wlrs If there was
any resemblance. On Thursday night the
sheriff, replied: "Come to Humphrey at
once. Picture resembles dead man," and
she took the first train for Nebraska. Her
son James was ill at Seattle last fall and
went down to the races at Oakland. He
left there on March 14 and wrote that he
wis headed for home. Since then nothing i
had been heard of him and It was this
lack of knowledge as to his Whereabouts
that caused the alarm. The route from
California to Minneapolis would lead him
through Humphrey enroute from Columbus
to Norfolk. Tho mother Is overcome today
with the strain.
The body, 'having remained the limit of
time, was shipped to Lincoln this after
noon. Sheriff Hints at a Bolntlon.
COLUMBUS. Neb.. April a. (Special
Telegram.) Mrs. W, D. O Brlen, who ar
rived from Minneapolis this morning, failed
to. Identify the dead man a her missing
son. though ' there was Some strong re
semblance. Some drills snd other tools
which1 were stolen from Wagner's black
smith shop InCreston the night before
the tragedy were found near the deserted
buifdlng where the dead man was dis
covered. On his shoes was also found
lime and mortar, which indicates that he
was one of thoae who entered the cellar
window wben the store In Creston was
robbed.
Sheriff Carrlg says there is a new de
velopment Iri the ease today which he does
not care at this time to publish, but whlctj
he thinks will lead to something definite
n a few days.
The opinion strongly prevslls that . the
murdered man was implicated In ths rob.
bery and that he met his death at th
hands of his companions on account of a
quarrel over the division of the plunder.
It wss learned today that ths dead man
was given breakfast on the morning ot
March at the home of August Prang,
a farmer who lives only a couple of miles
from the scene of the trsgedy.
