IJeutennnt General Mlstchenko, composed
of a portion of the South Caucasian brigade
and ttansbatkal CuHHmkH, while engaged
May 17 in repulsing the enemy to the south
ward approached Slnlountchouan. On May
18 squadrons of the vanguard succeeded in
reacnlng the Fakoman road, where they
burned a store depot and destroyed the
telesraph for a considerable distance, larfte
bands of Chinese bandits encountered by
the detarhincnt were partly annihilated
and partly dispersed.
On May 1 tne main body arrived at the
Fakoman-Snlfudzy road and found the
heights soutli ot Fakoman occupied by a
large Japanese force, conHlating of guards
and infantry with machine guns. The Rus
sians utlacKed and annihilated two Japa
nese companies and captured another com
pany witn all of its oilieers and two ma
chine uns.
The ttussians seized a road on the right
bank of tile Llao river and dispersed near
Shlfudzy a transport train seven vestas
(four and two-tilths miles) long with rice,
tinned food and fruit, destroyed the tele
graph line ami took several prisoners and
loo horses.
On the return Journey the Russians dis
persed several bands of Chinese bandits.
The prisoners taken number five officers
and 234 men.
The daring attempt of the Japanese, May
23, to. cut the railroad and blow up the
bridge over a tributary of the Tung Llao,
twenty miles south of the Russian main
line, from Kuanchengtsu to Kirin, which
are now connected by a field railroad,
bear a striking resemblance to the blowing
up of the bridge over the Kalnskair river,
160 miles north of Mukden by Major Nan
ganuma of the Japanese army, Juai before
Field Marshal Oyama undertook the ad
vance against General Kouropatkln at Muk
den. Another parallel 'of the raid of May
23, occurred while General Rennenkampff's
cavalry recently was working around the
Japanese left south of Fakomen, just as
Kanganuma's exploit coincided with Colonel
Mistchenko's raid on New Chwang in Sep
tember last. According to reports of the
raid of May 3 it was launched from Mon
golia.
Russians Are In Doubt.
GUNSIIU PASS, Manchuria, May 26.
The Japanese tactics are puzzling. Thoy
give way at the slightest pressure against
their center on both the railroad and the
Mandarin road. ' The Chinese explain the
retirement to trouble among the reserves,
some of whom, they say, are almost lu a
state of revolt because the government has
not kept Its promise to return them to
Japan.
The retirement of the Japanese center Is
interpreted by some of the Russian offi
cers as a postppiement of Field Marshal
Oyama's offensive, because of the bad state
of the roads, but this view is not shared
by all the officers.
In order to prevent wrangling over the
question of reward or censure arising from
reports forwarded by the commander-in-chief
through the army corps commanders
General Llnevitch, In an order of the day,
has directed that copies of the original re
ports of all encounters and Individual ex
ploits be transmitted to his staff, as well
as . briefer reports through the ordinary
channels.
One on Mark Twain.
When Mark Twain lived In Hartford,
Conn., he wason Intimate terms with the
Rev. Joseph H. Twltchell. One day Mr.
Twltchell sauntered over to his friend's
house and said: "Mark, come and take a
walk with me."
"Oh, no, Joe; I haven't time," said the
great humorist.
"Well, now," said the dominie, "you
come to hear me preach every Sunday and
you say you believe what I read out of the
Bible Is true; tf I could prove to you, from
the Bible, that you ought to go to walk
with me, would you go?"
"Tes, of course," said Mr. Twain, "but It
Isn't In there."
"Tes. it Is," said the minister, "for the
Bible says: 'And whosoever shall compel
thee to go a mile, go with him twain,' "
and Mark went. New Vork Tribune.

j a
confession a year and a half or two years
ago, and it was made to L. K. Fay of
Clinton, la., and not to Elmer Thomas, and
that the facts therein contained were set
forth In an affidavit In the handwriting of
L. K. Fay.
At that time he had never seen or heard
of Elmcrt E. Thomas, and did not hear of
him for six or seven months afterward.
He testified that Fay came to him to ask
If there was any way of ascertaining what
had become of some diamonds that had
been stolen from him when his house was
robbed. - Witness said Fay did not men
tion the Omaha Civic Federation or Elmer
E. Thomas.
Witness testified that Tom Dennlson
furnished all tin money for his defense.
He told of leaving Omaha when under
parole, because he and Dennlson could not
get along. Ha said Dennlson wanted him
to rob Billy Ddnnelly's gambling house.
In telling what steps he had taken to
assist Thomas In securing evidence U
stated that Byrne, to whom Shercllffe was
alleged to have talked, had been arrested
and that on his person were found let
ters written to Byrne by Dennlson.
When asked as to the buwlness of Byrne,
he replied that he was a gambler, thief,
sure-thing man and bunco man. He said
Byrne was a tool and agent of Tom Den
nlson. Witness said Byrne came to him and
said that It was In Tom Dennison's power
to hang him (Byrne) unless Shercllffe
would let up In his prosecution of Den
nlson. Witness testified that he replied: "For
God's sake why don't you get out ot the
country if that Is true. What are you
doing here on the streets of Des Moines?"
He testified that Byrne was armed and
showed him an automatic gun to demon
strate that he was a bad man.
He' said he knew Charley Maynard, a
gambler and a thief.
Witness suid that he was 22 years of
age . at the lime he committed the Pol
lack robbery.
Attorney Connell then took the witness
In hand again for further cross-examination.
Connell aBked If witness did not know
that Fay was a cousin of Harry Hay
ward of Omaha.
The Question was ruled out and that
ended the examination of Shercllffe for
the present
Attorney Thomas seated that he would
be recalled at the time for putting in re
buttal testimony.
Pollock la Iteralled.
Pollock was recalled and asked If he re
membered that an engineer named O'Con
nor had been in the Sonnenberg store the
day of the robbery, but he could not. Hip
well testified that . John Martin, a saloon
keeper of Des Moines, had paid him $60u to
assist In procuring a parole for Shercllffe
and that he had talked about the parole
with Deiyiison. On cross-examination ha
said Denlson had not paid him a cent.
Immediately lfter the noon adjournment
W. S. Heller, - a court stenographer of
Omaha, was called. Dennison's testimony
given in the habeas corpus proceedings was
read to him and identified as being cor
rect. Frank A Broadwcll, clerk of the Doug
las county district court, was called to
Identify the original petition filed In the
habeas corpus case. This-will be used to
establish Dennison's residence In Omaha.
When Broadwell started to have the
stand he was called back by Attorney
Connell, who asked him:
"What ia the reputation of Dennlson as
to his Integrity and honesty?"
The prosecution entered vigorous objec
tions and Connell at once had Broadwell
called as a witness for the defense and
with the consent of the prosecution began
his examination.
"His reputation is good," answered
Broadwell.
"Is it not a fact that his word Is as good
as any bond of any bank in Omaha?" asked
the attorney.
The prosecution entered such vigorous
protests that the witness had no oppor
tunity to answer. The court sustained the
objections. e
The prosecution then took the witness.
"Has Denrilson ever done anything ex
cept run a gambling business?" was
asked.
"Yes, I think so," answered the witness.
Dennlson Not a Fence,
"Hasn't he been a fence?" aBked Attor
ney Smith.
"No sir, not that I ever heard of."
"Are you certain you know what a fence
Is?"
"Yes sir, I do, but I never heard of Tom
Dennlson being a fence."
"Do you read the newspapers, Mr.
Broadwell?"
"Yes sir, but I never read that the news
papers called him a fence."
The witness was then asked tf Dennison
was not connected with Joe Sonnenberg In
the pawnshop and answered that If he
was he had never heard of It.
He was then asked how many Informa
tions had been filed against Dennison In
his court and surprised the prosecution by
saying that only the habeas corpus papers
so far as he could remember.
"Don't you know that numerous felony
charges, charging him with running a
gambling house, have been filed in ypur
court?"
"No, sir," answered the witness, and
then he quieted uown matters by adding,
"I think some were tiled In the county
court."
Broadwell then in answer to a question
said he knew Dennlson had been running
a policy wheel In Omaha and that he was
connected with gambling houses.
"Don't you regard that as reflecting on
his reputation," was asked.
"I think It wouldn't have any detri
mental effect on his reputation for hon
esty and on his integrity," answered
Broadwell.
Mortgages Are Identified.
Harry Deuel was called by the prosecu
tion to Identify certified copies of two
mortgages alleged to have been given by
Dennlson to the Omaha Savings bank in
the fall of lfi2, one fur ItiOO and one for
$1,000. This testimony was secured by the
prosecution to prove that Dennlson was in
need of money at that time, as told by
Shercllffe, and also to corroborate Bher
cllffe's testimony regarding the Interest
Item In the financial statement.
Deuel, like Broadwell, was kept on the
stand by the defense to prove Dennison's
good reputation in Omaha, but Deuel
proved to have an idea ot his own about
gambling.
In answer to a. question as to Dennison's
reputation for honesty, he said:
"His reputation for honesty is good."
When the prosecution got hold of Deuel
he was asked If he would say Dennison's
reputation was good without qualifying the
remark.
"Well, aside from his gambling he has
borne a Kood reputation."
The vVosecullou tried to get the witness
to admit that he knew that Dennlson had
been shadowed by the polio Immediately
after the Pollock robbery, but Deuel re
fused to say It. He had not even read
of It In the trial on the habeas corpus pro
ceedings, he said.
He added Incidentally: "Many men have
been accused who are not guilty."
N. P. Dodge was called to Identify entries
In the bonks of the Omaha Savings bank,
of which he was manager at the time Den
nlson was alleged to have borrowed the
money fro.m the hank. Mr. Dodge had not
made the entry, and one of the clerks was
dead and the other was In Wyoming. The
Items were Introduced over the objection
of the defense.
Reporter's Notes Mlsslna;.
W. E. Cody, a court reporter from Sioux
City, testified that he reported the Sher
cllffe trial. That Dennison brought him
the botes and asked him to make a trans
cript of the proceedings; that he had done
so and had received between $120 and $1G0
from Dennlson. He did not know what,
had become of the original notes and had
since been unable to locate them.
W. E. Oarrett, pardon clerk to Governor
Cummins, brought over all the records
filed In the office of the governor bearing
on the Shercllffe pardon and on the ap
plication' for the Dennlson requisition. He
said neither the original notes nor the tran
script of the Shercllffe trial were in the
office of the governor.
Robert E. O'Hanley, stenographer to
John N. Baldwin, testified that Senator
Hlpwell had brought the notes of the
stenographer In the Shercllffe case to his
office and he had made an abstract of
the proceedings and testimony. He then
identified the abstract ho had brought with
hlni. What became of the original notes
he did not know.
"At that trial did Tom Dennison tes
tify, 'I never saw Shercllffe until this
trial?' " was asked him.
"He did," was the answer.
The defense objected to this and asked
for time to examine the papers.
"You may examine the papers In the
prcisenoe of the clerk of the court," holly,
retorted Attorney Smith, "according to the
agreement with the court, but you can't
take them out, for we have lost, enough
of these records already." Judge Gretm
scowled and peace was restored.
The witness then explained that he meant
by abstract that he had read over the
testimony and put his own interpretation
on it.
"You made It as favorable to Shercliffe
as possible, didr't you," asked Connell.
"No, sir, I was Impartial."
He admitted that while the notes were
In Baldwin's office other people had access
to them.
"You put your own Interpretation on the
Dennlson testimony regarding when he had
seen Shercliffe?" asked the attorney.
"Yes, sir," answered the witness. "I Just
made an abstract of the testimony."
Grand Jury Minutes Introduced.
C. L. Hyde, clerk of the grand jury which
Indicted Dennlsoi., Identified the minutes
of the grand jury and then said that be
fore signing the minutes Shercllffe had
protested against the minutes showing
that he said Dennlson had telegraphed
him that he had the diamonds. He said
Sherclifte said Dennlson had telegraphed
"O. K."
W. T. Seeman testified that John Dennl
son lived In some of tn rooms over his
livery barn on Sherman avenue and that
James Wilson, his brother-in-law, had
lived in the rear rooms, during the year
1S92.
The witness then described the location
of the rooms In detail in corroooratlon of
Shercllffe's testimony.
"Who lived there In 1901?" asked Coch
ran, "I don't know," .answered the witness.
"I sold the property In 1896."
"Then you don't know whether Elmer
Thomas or Shercllffe have been to those
rooms and located them or not, do you?"
"No. sir."
A. W. Blackburn, deputy clerk of the
district court of Harrison county, Iowa,
testified that these much wanted notes and
transcripts of the Shercllffe trial were miss
ing and could not be located.
Identifying; Dennison's Residence.
BUlv Donnelly of Omaha was the first
acknowledged gambler of the large bunch
here to testify. He said he was a saloon
keeper and gambler. He was brought on
to establish Dennison's residence In Omaha
and Incidentally helped the defense in its
forthcoming effort to establish DennlBon s
residence in Idwa.
It was brought out In cross-examination
by Connell that Donnelly had also been a
faro dealer In Des Moines, and Incidentally
the bringing out of this Information
brought on much embarrassment for Con
nell.
"Wasn't you a faro dealer in Des
Moines," asked Connell.
Yes sir," answered the witness, "and
Mr. Connell was present in that gambling
house."
The judge joined the court room In the
laugh that followed. Then the court ai
lowed Connell to aak some Immaterial ques
Hons to set himself right with the people
of Red Oak.
"I merely asked that question," said Con
nell, "to show the Jury that Omaha Is not
the only place on earth where gambling
flourishes. But I now want to ask the
witness If I didn't go to his gambling house
to ask him where I could find a gambler
from whom I wanted a deposition."
"Yes sir," was the answer.
COFFEE CONQESTION
Causes Variety of Alls.
A happy old lady in Wisconsin says:
"During the time I was a coffee drinker
I was Bubject to sick headaches, recurring
every 2 or 3 weeks, and sometimes lasting i
or 3 days, totally unfitting me for anything,
To this affliction was added, some years
ago. a trouble with my heart that was very
painful, accompanied by a smothering sen
sation and falntness.
I would be unable to lie down, but was
compelled to sit gasping for breath until
I was perfectly exhausted.
Dyspepsia, also, a few years ago came to
make life harder to bear. I took all sorts
of patent medicines as well as doctor's
prescriptions, but none of them helped me
for any length of time.
"The doctors frequently told me that
coffee was not good for me; but without
coffee I felt as If I had no breakfast. I
finally decided about 2 years ago to aban
don the ubb of coffee entirely, and as I had
read a great deal about Postum Food Coffee
I concluded to try that for a breakfast
beverage.
1 liked the taste of It and was particu
larly pleased to notice that it did not
'come up' as coffee used to. I had only
hoped that the Postum Food Coffee would
help my digestion, but I soon found that it
was doing much more than that. The bad
spells with my heart grew less and less
frequent, and finally ceased altogether,
and I have not had aa attack of sick head
ache for mors than a year. My digestion
is good, too, and I am thankful that I am
once more a healthy woman. I know my
wonderful restoration to health came from
quitting coffee and using Postum Food
Coffee." Name given by the Postum Co.,
Battle Creek, Mich.
"There's a reason," and it Is this. Coffee
has a direct action on the liver with some
people, and causes partial congestion of
that organ preventing the natural outlet of
the sucretluns. Then follows biliousness,
sallow skin, headaches, aonslipation and
finally a change of the blood corpuscles
and nervuus protlratioa.
"Did you ever see me play cards?"
"No sir." And thus was Connell cleared.
Thrn Connell got back to material things
and proved by Donnelly that Dennlson haJ
run a policy wheel In Iowa for a number
of yars, open and above board, known of
men.
"Didn't he run that wheel for four or five
years ?'
"I don't know. He ran It a number of
iears and I myself had It raided once,"
answered the witness.
The witness repeatedly 'refused to say the
time was over three years. When Connell
became persistent the prosecution objected.
"Your honor," said Connell, "the low
supreme court has held that a man may
have a residence In several states at once.
I am now attempting to establish Denni
son's residence In Iowa. It Is one of the
legal question the court will finally have to
decide." But Donnelly still failed to re
member If it had been three years.
The witness admitted he had no use for
Dennlson and had talked with Thomas and
Fallon about the rase.
Homer Morris on Stand.
Homer Morris, brother of Shercllffe, was
the last witness of the day and his testi
mony was short. He was not cross-examined.
He identified the letters supposed to
have been written to him by Dennlson, as
well as the financial statement. When asked
regarding the watch alleged to have been
sent to him by Dennlson, ns shown by the
financial statement, he said: "I suppose
Dennlson sent It to me." Then he showed
a watch to the Jury.
He made tho same answer to the ques
tions concerning the dress and shoes sup
posed to have been given by Dennlson to
his wife.
He said he received $25 from Shercllffe to
visit the exposition nnd that he boarded
at Dennison's and roomed across the street.
He paid out nothing for this entertainment,
ho said, and supposed Dennlson did pay
for It. He said he did not know Dennison
until he met him at the exposition.
He was asked about writing to Dennlson
and Shercliffe, and said he had written to
Shercllffe through Dennlson.
"When I wrote to MofYls I sent my let
ter to Dennlson, and when Morris wrote to
me he Sent the letters through Dennlson." '
Court adjourned shortly before 6 o'clock
until 9 o'clock tomorrow.
SHAW O SIIERCI.IKFE'S PAROLE
gays Neither Politics Nor Friendship
Influenced His Action.
DES MOINES, la.. May 26.-Secretary of
the Treasury Leslie M. Shaw was the guest
of the Bankers' club today at a luncheon,
and repeated his assurances to Des Moines
bankers that government finances were In
no danger.
It was expected that Governor Shaw, who
aa governor paroled Frank Sherclifte, be
cause. It Is claimed, of political Influences,
might be subpoenaed as a witness at the
Dennison trial. However, no notice was
served upon him. "Neither politics nor
friendship had anything to do with that
parole," said Secretary Shaw. "I did It
slmplv to help the man get on his legs
again.
"No one Is authorized to say that I will
be a candidate for the presidency," said
the secretary, In answer to a question. "It
Is a subject which even I do not discuss."

DEATH RECORD.
J. I.. Miner.
RED CLOUD, Neb., May 26 (Special.)
The body of J. L. Miner is on the way to
this city from Excelsior Springs. Mr. Miner
has been for twenty-five years one of the
leading merchants and farmers of Webster
county and was the foundor and principal
owner of the Peoples bank of this place.
Mr. Miner Is a cousin of the late General
Sheridan, whom he resembles considerably.
Although not himself a pioneer of this
county, his sisters were, and It was due
to their presence here that he came here
In 1878. Mr. Miner was a man of good
health and vigorous constitution, but on a
visit to Kansas City last New Year's day
he was persuaded to call upon a firm of
physicians of that city, who Induced him
to let them treat him for a disease from
which he occasionally suffered slightly. The
physicians administered carbolic acid to
him in such quantities that inflammation

Reward of Merit.
An American correspondent had Just been
introduced to Admiral Togo. "I'm very
glad to meet you," he said, simply.
"What!" exclaimed the admiral. "You're
not going to ask me, 'Where I am going
Tozo?' "
''No," said the correspondent.
"You are not going to remark that it Is
better for the Russians Togo while they
can?"
"Certainly not."
"You aren't going to say, Togo or not
To;o ?"
"No, Indeed."
"Glory!" shouted the great admiral.
"You're the first American I have met who
hasn't."
Hastily pinning a medal on the breast
of the visitor, he led him to the highball
magazine. Council Bluffs Nonpareil.
CONTEST FOR VOTES IN THE COUNCILS
Several Members Held to Pressure
of ConMltnenla and Asrreo to
Support the Rxeentlve'n
Veto.
PHILADELPHIA, May 26.-"The situa
tion is growing brighter every minute,"
said Msyor Weaver late this afternoon.
He would not give figures nor go Into other
details, but contented himself with saying
he had received assurances from many
councllmen who had voted for the lease last
week that they would support him In his
veto. Leaders of the republican organisa
tion which Is advocating the lease continue
to remain silent. There are, however, signs
that some of the councllmen are breaking
away under tremendous pressure of 'their
constituents nnd will probably go along
with the mayor. The nil-absorbing point of
Interest Is whether the mayor will succeed
In getting enough to defeat the bill when
It shnll come up next Thursday for passage
over his veto. The organization still stands
on Its statement that It will pass the ordi
nance In spite of his disapproval. The rec
ord up to this evening shows that the
mayf r has ten select councllmen and
twenty members of the common council
with him. In the select council there are
forty-two members. To pass the ordinance
over the mayor's veto needs twenty-six
votes and the mayor seventeen to sustain
him. Tho membership of the common coun
cil I- eighty-four. Here the organization
needs fifty-one and the mayor thirty-four.
Afler Orirnnlsntlon Contractors.
The first Important movement of the new
administration a move that was of vital
Importance to organization men who hold
city contracts was taken today when the
new director of public works Acker an
nulled the advertisement for bids for street
cleaning for Wfi. The contract will aggre
gate about $1.0(0,000. The contract for this
year Is held by the Vare Brothers, one of
whom Is a state senator and another re
corder of deeds.
The struggle to hold or win councllmen
is growing hotter, and many of the "city
fathers" have expressed tho wish that they
had never been elected to the legislative
body. They declare that they owe all their
success In life to the organization and that
It would be an extreme act of disloyalty to
go back on their leaders In a time of
trouble.
The first man to be won over today came
to the mayor's office with a delegation of
constituents. He was Charles E. Connell
of the common council.
Mass Meeting Adopts Resolution.
"Resolved. That we, citizens of Phila
delphia, without regard to party or politics,
do hereby, before God hnd man, pledge
our life, liberty and sacred honor to the
complete overthrow of despotic methods In
municipal affairs and the restoration of
the American principles for which our
fathers fought and which shall ever be our
glory while we remain worthy to be called
their children."
Amid tremendous cheering and the wav
ing of flags several thousand persons who
were packed into the Academy of Music
to hear prominent Phlladelphlans express
their protest against the gas lease adopted
the above quoted resolution.
Former Postmaster General Charles
Emory Smith spoke In part as follows:
The question of defeating the gas steal
and redeeming the city is above all narrow
partisanship. I deny tho right of the con
spirators who are banded together to gag
and plunder our fair city to speak In a
party name. The . black flag of piracy Is
not the flag of republicanism. Our whole
character as free men Is at stake. ' The
Issuo Is beyond and above all question of
dollars.
W. W. Justice, a wool merchant, presided
at the academy meeting, and the principal
address delivered was that by Charles
Emory Smith, former postmaster general
of the United States. Mr. Smith, before
beginning his speech, announced that word
had Just reached him that 150 citizens had
called upon a councilman In an outlying
ward and demanded of him to pledge his
vote against the lease, which he did. After
Mr. Smith concluded his address another
message came that a councilman In the
Twenty-eighth ward had also pledged hlmj
self tonight to go along with the mayor.
Among the others who addressed the meet
ing were William T. Tllden, secretary of
the meeting; Frank M. Rlter, a former
director of public safety; S. Soils-Cohen, a
physician; Prof. Leo S. Rowe, president of
the American Academy of Political and
Social Science, and Rt. Rev. Alexander
Mackay-Smlth, bishop coadjutor of the
Protestant Episcopal diocese of Pennsyl
vania. Raising; Sinews of War.
A letter written by Mr. Justice, a mem
ber of the meeting, was read, in which he
suggested the raising of tl,2M.OO0 to carry
on an extensive campaign, and pledging
himself to contribute liberally to the fund.
Mayor Weaver, who was commended In
a resolution adopted, was unable to be pres
ent and a letter of regret from him wM
read. A letter from 8. Weir Mitchell, the v
physician-author, denouncing the gas lease,
was also rend.
The Young Men's Christian association
hall was also taxed to its capacity. Ad
dresses were made by a half dozen promi
nent cltlEens. Including Charles Emory
Smith. There was great enthusiasm when
Mr. Smith said: "The black flag of piracy
was not the flag of republicanism, or of
Lincoln, or of McKlnley, or ot Roosevelt."
In Broad street there were several hun
dred persons gathered who could not gain
admittance to tho big academy building.
Word was sent inside and three cltlsens
were sent out to address the crowd from a
barouche. Tho outdoor meeting closed with
the singing of "Nearer, My God. to Thee,"
and "My Country. 'Tis of Thoe."
