den In a e"w days, but, on the other hand,
the Chinese profess confidence that active
hostilities are remote.
A war-balloon was sent up today south
east of Mukden, which, seems to indicate
that the Japanese are expected to appear
In thnt direction. Mild weather haa set In.
The Una of outposts established by the
Japanese Is so effective that not even the
Chinese have been able to penetrate It. It
is Impossible, therefore, to say definitely
how Marquis Oyama has disposed his
forces. It l believed General Kurokl'a
army stretches from Bensihu to Bentsia
putae and the armies of Generals Oku and
Nodzu from Yental along the highroad and
railroad to Bhahepu, sixteen milea south of
Mukden, while a fourth army Is moving
from Dzlahtchan across the Da mountains.
All those roads converge at Mukden. Of
the four armies thope of Oku and Nodzu
are nearest Jfukden and their progress will
have to be slackened in order to permit
Kurokl and the flanking columns time to
come up. Meantime Oku and Nodiu have
command of the railroad. Supplies of grain
and ammunition are carried from Yental
over heavy. roads and exposed to capture
by Cossack raiders. Thfre hae been an
Improvement In the weather at Mukden,
which Is of great help to the Japanese.

NINE SCHOOL GIRLS DEAD
Outhouse Tloor GifeB Way and Thirty
Pupil. Tall Into Vault.
VICTIMS ALL FROM THE PRIMARY GRADES
Frantic StrngKles of Those on Top
Kept at Least Klne I'nder the
Mire Vnttl They Were
Suffocated.
CINCINNATI, Sept. 23. At leas nine
schoolgirls were suffocated in a vault today
during the afternoon recess at Pleasant
Ridge public school house and a score of
others narrowly escaped the same horrible
death.
All of the victims were from primary
grades. On opposite sides of the spacious
grounds In the renr of the suburban school
building are two outhouses. At recess
about thirty young girls were In the out
house assigned to them when the floor
gave way, precipitating them Into a stone
walled cesspool twelve feet deep and con
taining four feet of sewage. The frantic
struggles of those who were on top kept at
least nine underneath the mire until they
were dead.
The frame shed over the vault was about
twenty feet square, without windows, and
had only one narrow doorway, so that only
one girl escaped falling. She ran into the
school building and told the teachers what
had happened. Principal E. L. Slmmcrman
and seven female teachers ran to the res
cue. Principal Slmmerman secured a lnd
der, on which the drenched girls climbed
out, most of them fainting aa soon as they
reached Jhe surface, overcome by fright
and sewer gas.
The teachers were soon reinforced by the
entire population of the suburb, the police
and fire departments rendering effective
aid. Princlpnl Slmmcrman finally fainted.
Then others lifted out dead bodies until
the death pool waa cleared. Those rescued
alive presented such an appearance as to
make many in the- crowd of ' spectators
faint.
James Smith, aged' l. a pupil, climbed to
the roof of the schoolhouse and got the
flag, which waa made Into a rope that
rescued several.
John Stelnkamp, when his daughter was
not among those brought out alive, en
tered the vault and carried out several
bodies, among them that of his daughter.
Then he fainted. At the same time there
were other parents In the waiting crowd
that fainted when It waa announced that
all of the living had been rescued and their
children were atlll missing.
In addition to the funerals that are an
nounced for Sunday there will be memorial
services In three churches of the village.
Reports about the floors giving way last
year are denied by the school trustees.
They say that the floors were repaired
during the Bummer vacation and nothing
wrong was noticed with the girders. Jani
tor Smith says that he had told members
of the board that the place was not sate.
Coroner Weaver had the wrecked girder
preserved.
Girder Are Rotten.
It Is said that the timbers were found to
be rotten and that one of them was spliced.
The girders will be brought to Cincinnati
tomorrow for examination at the inquest.

BAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 23.A phenome
nal rain storm, which began yesterday and
continued all night, threatened to occasion
a postponement of th Odd Fellows, parade.
This morning, however, the sun broke
through the ciouda and the pavements were
aoon dry enough to permit of marching.
Brigadier General E. H. Black acted a
grand marshal. The line waa composed of
fourteen divisions and Included many float
of attractive design. At the head ot the
column waa a platoon of mounted police,
followed by a detachment of Patriarch Mil
itant, acting aa an escort to Grand Sire
John B. Goodwin and other officer and
representatives of the sovereign lodge.
Then came a strong body of Patriarch
Militant, under command of General M. A.
Raney, followed by subordinate and Re
bekah lodge.
Prominent feature of th parade were
drill corps from several encampments and
Rebekah lodges, whose Intricate evolution
were loudly applauded. Th parade waa
reviewed in front of the city hall by Grand
Blre Goodwin and other officer of th
sovereign grand lodge and grand encamp
ment. , After the procession disbanded the sov
ereign grand lodg convened In Native
Bon' hall.
A the parade wa passing along Van

Bryan Democrat Fonr
Year Ago.
HOUSTON, Tex., Sept. 23. Thomas E.
Watson, populist candidate for president,
tonight delivered an address to a great
crowd of people assembled from the sur
rounding country, several excursions being
run. Mr. Watson Is still suffering from
an Indisposition and appeared weak. He
was given close attention.
Mr. Watson said. In part:
Senator James K. Jones of Arkansas
found his voice a few days ago and
spoke his little piece. The people's party,
aa Jones, Is working for the rt-publieans.
He declares that in my Atlanta speech a
preference was expressed for Koosove.t as
against Parker. Neither in my Atlanta
speech nor in any other have I made any
such declaration.
1 Poor I'urker! His burdens were already
heavy. Too much Cleveland, too murh
Hill, too much McCarreu, too many slights
put on Tom Taggnrt, too much Gorman,
too much Juggling with the good old Eng
lish language, too much foxlness generally
but when Jones of Arkansns rol ed un.
we could almost see the same old pick
and shovel with which ho dug the graves
for the democratic national ramlldnte In
the memorable campalKna of 1896 and
If our campaign hurts the democrats
most this year that Is not our fault. It In
the fault of Jones and all the others who
sold out the principles of df mocracy to
Wall street at St. Louis. Had Jones and
his crowd re-adopted the Omnha platform
or something simLar and then nominated
some such' democrat as Hearst or Bryan,
the pwple's ivirty could not have done
business In I'M at all. It- was the as
tounding betrayal of democratic principles
by Jones, Hill & Co., which gave tho
people's party the opportunity to renew
the fight for Jeftersonlnn democracy. Inns
much as we are now advocating the same
principles which Bryan democrats advo
cated for eight years. It seems n little
hard thnt we should be abused as "assist
ant republicans." If anybody hos so'd out.
it would be reasonable to suppose thst it
was the crowd who dropped their princi
ples. We have not dropped ours.

LIKE A FLASH
Came n Hard Knock From Coffee.
It' a simple matter to satisfy sensible,
thinking people by a 10 days' trial of
Postum In place of coffee, for if it is cof
fee causes the Illness, an almost Imme
diate change takes place. The old coffee
ail, sluggishness, insomnia, lack of en
ergy, stomach trouble, sallow skin, head
ache, and all the others, whatsoever
form the nerve decide upon, when they
are thrown out of balance by coffee, begin
to leave and it's only a question of a
short time when Postum will end them
all and bring back health.
"I had drank coffee every morning in
and out of season, until two years ago
when all ot a sudden . my stomach re
belled and bhortly thereafter I became a
nervous wreck, couldn't eat a bite without
Intense Buffering. I lost most all my flesh
and wa practically starving, because I
couldn't get any good out of what little
food I did eat. i
"One morning when In this wretchedly
run down condition I read a magaslne
article about Postum Food Coffee, and
the case seemed so much ilk mine I sent
out and got a package. At that time
almost nothing would stay on my stomach,
.,. Y. ! Aim r, t Pn.hini vlfa m.il.
for me seemed to warm and nourish me j
clear to my nnger tips, ana mis aeugntrui
glow of well fed feeling continued. For
the first five or six days the Postum was
all I could keep on my stomach or even
take at all without great suffering, but
I got better so fast I added other foods
gradually and kept gaining strength and
flesh until now I can eat a hearty meal
and really enjoy life once more. I know
It waa Postum that saved me from starv
ing to death when my stomach had been
ruined by coffee.
"I know tot ot folk don't make Postum
right, but It take only 15 minutes boiling
to make It perfect according to the direc
tion. Then If better than the best
coffee." Name given by PoMum Co.,

or not It' th coffee hurt you.

FROM., OUR UTTER BOX
Letter from St. F, Harrington.
O NEIL, Neb., Sept. . 22, 1M4. To the
Editor of The Bee; In your Issue of isep
lember 13 the following editorial appeared:
Mike Harrington mitikes a plea for a
political gospel "whk'h preaches the plain
truth without exaggeration." And without
taking his pen from ttte paper he goes on
to declare that the present fusion candidate
for governor is "the' most uncompromising
friend of Just taxation, of reform legisla
tion and of popular government that hns
ever been nominated for this great oflice
by any political party since Neoraska was
admitted into the union. ' This is either
a quick repentance or a vicious reflection
on some of the other great men who have
spired to the office of governor in Ne
braska in years gone by.
As the purpose of this brief editorial Is
to throw cold water on the candidacy of
Mr. Berge and to help ' the waning can
didacy of Mr. Mickey,,! request that you
give my reply publication in ur news
paper and I will likewise- give It publication
In the World-Herald -and let tho public
Judge whether or not those who are sup
porting Mr. Berge are Justified In speak
of him the good words that we are speak
ing at every opportunity.
Permit me to say, Mr. Rosewater, and
I desire to give' It the fullest publicity,
that I give you great credit for the sincere
work In behalf of tax reform that you
have done through your newspaper and at
other times, at considerable expense and
sacrifice of p-rspnal .time. I give you
credit with hazing done more than jour
shaVe In helping to educate the people of
Nebraska upon the question of tax reform.
No matter what others may say, you have
convinced me, at least, that you are ab
solutely in earnest In your effort to make
the railroad ot Nebraska bear their Just
share of the public burdens and I cannot
understand upon what ' theory you give
support to the candidacy of Mr. Mickey.
It seems to me'tlmt it can only be upon
partisan grounds.-'It seems that It Is only
through the desire to be "regular." True
It Is that you have' Illustrious example
of this kind in Nebraska at this time; but
each man i-"nty Tesponslbio for his own
acts:' The tatt reformer who supports Mr.
Mickey ought ' to-' te able to give reasons
for so doing. Upon the record Of Mr.
Mickey's administration can any man w'ju
is free frbtn pa'r'tiSan-preTudlco' give 'him
support? ' '' " Y ;
In your very able argument before the
State Board of Equalisation "you made It
qAiite plain that the railroads of Nebraska
are worth at least $350,000,000 and that
upon this basis they Oufeht to be assessed
for $70,000,000. You then took' the railroad
stocks at 75 cents on the dollar, although
you admitted that many of them were
selling at a large premium, and no doubt
you knew that the stock of the Northwest,
em, for, examplo, ' Tt-as selling at $170 per
share. But even at this low basis, you
estimated the railroads of Nebraska at
$317,000,000 and their assessable value at
$63,000,000. You put tHese aa the rock bot
tom figures and I fully agree with you.
My own figure were In the neighborhood
of $65,000,000 for assessment purposes, based
on the one-fifth valuation. But the State
Board of Equalisation after all this was
shown to them assessed the railroads at
only $46,000,000. In other words, Mr. Rose
water, Mr. Mickey voted to assess U)e
railroads this year at $17,000,000 less than
your rock bottom 'figures, which figures
you pointed out were too low. At the
average rate of taxation In Nebraska this
swindling 'of the people out of $17,000,000
ot assessable value means that the people
of Nebraska are swindled out of more
than $600,000 In taxes in this state this
year. And this doel not include municipal
taxes. The $600,000 which the railroads
have dodged must be borne by the people
of the state. And, in addition to this very
large amount, you are authority for the
statement that they are cheating the
city of Omaha, out, ot $400,000 per year of
municipal taxes, I do not profess to have
the knowledge which you possess a to
the amount of municipal taxes that are
being indirectly stolen eVery year by the
railroad corporations, but with your knowl
edge on this question and your long life
in Omaha you ought to be and I believe
you are a competent Judge and that the
figures which you give are conservative.
On this plain showing ot your own then,
Governor Mickey has helped the railroads
of Nebraska, to evade more than $1,000,000
of taxes, which a a matter of common
honesty they, ought to pay this year. This
money,- Is Jseing morally stolen by the
railroad corporations, from the people of
the state. The outlaw who steals In de.
fiance. ot law I branded a a criminal and
If the evidence be clear 1 punlMhed. Mr.
Rosewater, la -It not morally as dishonest
to steal by evasion of law as to steal In
defiance of lawT Is It not n dishonest
to steal with a long brain a with a long
hand? Is the railroad heeler who help to
teal this money from the people of the
state any more dishonest than the church
deacon who by his vote make It poaslble
for the railroad to commit this crime
against th public?
If tag reform" in right between elections
is It not right on election day? What Is
the use in denouncing the railroads for tax
dodging for ten month of the year and
then turning In and helping to elect their
tool pigeons when election day comes
around? The Bee has well said that this
question of taxation Is bigger than political
parties. With that I fully agree. This I
well illustrated In Wisconsin, where th
railroad corporation two years ago sup
ported the democratic candidate fur gov.
ernor In their effort to defeat Robert M.
La Follette, and having failed In these meth
ods, this year they have nominated a bolting
republican and are making a three-cornered
fight I care no little for party In
this reform (hat If Mr. I -a Follette thought
that it would do any good I would gladly
spend a week of my time at my own ex
pense helping to make 'the fight for him.
Why should not you and every other tax
reformer take the same view of this mat
ter? This queetlon could not be Justly put
to you If the fuslonlsta had nominated
who art under railroad control. Bui

every neighbor of Mr. Berge In Lincoln
bears testimony to the fact that he Is a
man of honor and truth unit nn n v, n. .t.

railroads of Nebraska have not money
enougn to tuy. He Is making this cam
palgn at his own expense. D.ivinv roil

mortgaged in advance to the trumn,i.
tlon companies. In everv uneerh thai v.
makes he declares bodly his purpose to
use me innuence of the office of governoi
to secure Just taxation of railroad prop
erty and to reduce freight rates In Ne
braska. He seek no favors from the cor
poration managers. In .lncoln, the cor
poration stronghold of the state, he bodly
proclaims his purpose to make the Burling
ton railroad pay taxes on Its terminal prop
erty, the sa'me tut the merchants and
laborers pay. He Is coming to Omaha to
tell the people of your city and the Bald
wins, the Sprntllns and Mandersons that
If he Is elected governor and a legislature
elected to support him, he will make these
great corporations pay the same rate of
taxes on their terminals in Omaha as you
pay on the Bee building and as the pro
fessional men. the merchants, the me
chanics, the manufacturers and the la
borers of your city pay. Will John H.
Mickey do that? Nobody knows better
t..an yqu, Mr. Rowewater. that he will do
nothing of the kind. I have no desire to
make any personal attack upon Mr. Mickey.
But we have a right to Judge a man by hn
public u-ecord and by his associates In pub
lic life. Berge stands out In the sunl ght,
manfully announcing that equal and exact
Justice must be done to the corporations
and to the people. Mr. Mickey staoda for
the dark and slimy rule of greedy corpora

graced Nebraska for thirt years.

? greatest curatives of their time, and,
n fact, of all time, for nowhere In the

They have conquored th world.
