It is Esti mated That the Russians Have Lost 30,000 Men. Liao Yanjr is Ablrze . and it is Thought the Town is Lost, Tokio, Sept. 2. 9 1. m. -A few additional details of the progress of the battle at Liao Yang reached To- kio at a late hour to-day. General Kuroki's right is continu ing to press the attack at Halyingtai, seeking ground whence their guns will dominate the railrord. The troops under General Kuroki are jaded and weary. They have been marching and fighting since August 23rd, but in spite of this they attack ed with spirit. The Japanese are confident that they have already swept back the strong Russian force with which they have been engaged and it is probable that when the de tails are known it will be found that a great tragedy was enacted to-day along the Taitse river. The Taitse is flooded and cannot be forded. General Oku, in command of the Japanese left army, has directed his energies to forcing the Russians to the river, and it is probable that many were drowned there. A private dispatch received here reports that great fires are raging at Liao Yang. The fires are believed to have re suited from the Japanese shelling or from the efforts of the Russians to destroy their stores preparatory to the evacuation of Liao Yang, with the additional hope of injuring the city as& future Japanese base. The. opinion that the Russian cas ualties in the recent fighting will reach 30,000 is confidently express ed in high quarters here. Tokio, Sept. 2.

The Position of the Democratic Party on the Liquor Question is Clearly Set Forth bv Democratic State Chair man Simmons. Raleigh News end Observer. Adequate police protection is set i forth as an essential for places where liquor is manufactured or sold, and the Watts Law discriminates against no one. i- Such is the substance of a letter just written by Democratic State Chairman Simmons in reply to a series of questions sent to him by the editor of . Webster's Weekly, of Reidsvill, who asks the position of the Democratic party on the Watts Law, and the application of the law. The reply of Chairman Simmons is as follows: Raleigh, N. C, August 20, 1904. Hon. John R. Webster, Reidsville, N. C.: Dear Sir: I have received your latter of August 18th, in regard to the temperance plank of the Demo cratic State platform of this year, in which you propound the following inquiries: 1. Did not the late Democratic Convention at Greensboro declare unanimously for the principle of the Watts bill? 2. Has any county convention or. candidate for office the right, under the provisions of our platiorm, to i either propose or advocate anamend ' ment to said bill to leave it to a vote ol the people by township or county? 3. Can there be police regulation, provided by the platform, outside of : incorporated towns or cities? I In reply to your several inquiries, I I beg to advise you that the Demo t era tic State convention recently held ! at Greensboro did unanimously ap prove the general principles of the j Walts law. The language of the platform, upon this subject is in part as follows: "We approve the gener al principles of the Watts Law, reg ulating the manufacture and sale of liquors and limiting the same to lo calities in which there may be ade quate police protection." A subse quent clause in this plank of the platform declares that, "The General Assembly has the power and, w?hen controlled by the Democratic party, can be trusted to make all amend ments which experience and condi tions may demonstrate to be wise and proper."- Of course the Legislat has unlimited power 'to amend or repeal all legislative enactments, but those two classes of the Democratic deliverance upon the subject of tem perance legislation, as embodied in the Watts Law. should be taken to gether; and construing them together, an amendment of this law which would allow the manufacture and sale of liquours in localities in which there may not be adequate police protection, would in my opinion be a violation, of its general principles, and in conflict with the platform dec laration. ' . - The essential principle of the Watts Law is that liquor must neither be manufactured nor sold in this State except under adequate po lice protection. As at present writ ten, that Law Confines the manufac ture and sale of liquor to incorpor ated towns, where adequate police protection is presumed because re quired by law. It would seem, there fore, without reference to the incor poration of a locality as a municipal ity adequate police protection of the traffic to be conducted therein can be and is in truth and in fact provid ed and secured by law, it would be a compliance with the rmrty 'acquire ment limiting the manufacture and sale of liquors to "localities in which there may be adequate police protec tion." ' Very truly yours, T. M. Simmons. Chair man State Democratic Ex, Com, THE fl. 1 1 1 1 1 . MR. R. S. HOWLAND, PRESI DENT OF HOWLAND SYN DICATE, VISITS OUR CITY.

While here he re ceived assurances from many of the leading, business men and others of their hearty sympathyand co-operation in any efforts he may make for the improvement of the section through which the railroad runs.

While in the city this morning, Mr. Howland deposited with the Bank of Wayne a certified check for $100,000, which is to guarantee the performance of the conditions in his lease of the road. This check is in place of bonds to that amount,which are to-be put up as soon as they are registered. Immediatelyafter the de posit was made this morning, the M - bank notified Governor Aycock by the following telegran : Hon. C. B. Aycock, Raleigh, N. C. I have this day received from Mr Richard S.

A Thorough Search of the Prem ises Failed to Bring the Stone to Light. It Was Worth $300,000. New York, Sept. 5. A special dispatch from Newport says: "A sensational echo of the "white ball" given by Mrs. Hermann Oelrichs last month came last night, when it was reported that a valuable jewel was lost there. The affair has been kept a secret, but friends of Mrs. Oelrichs divulged it by consulting detectives. "It was Mrs. Pembroke Jones who lost the jewel a diamond from a magnificent lace pin, and reported to be valued at $300,000. The exact value of the missing diamond is not disclosed, but it is said to be one of the largest on the necklace. It was not missed by Mrs. Jones until after the cotillion, which was led by Mr. Harry Lehr and Mrs. W. K. Van derbilt, Jr. "Mrs. Jones quietly looked about the ball room, and with her husband searched each spot she remembered having been in, but the diamond was nowhere to be found. Mrs. Jones confided the secret to Mrs. Oelrichs. Finally a number of the guests learned of the loss and the searching became general. In the morning every place was thoroughly searched in vain. "The diamond is now among those which Mrs. J. Stewart Barney, Mrs. Willie E. Carter, Mrs. John Drexel and others lost here recently. "Mrs. Jones has said little or noth ing about the missing gem. She has- had the gowu she wore at the ball searched, but nothing has yet de veloped to give the slightest clue to the whereabouts of the magnificent diamond. COSTS NOTHING TJNLESS CURED. A Fair Offer made By J. II. Hill . & Son to All Suffers from Ca tarrh. J. H. Hill & Son are selling Hy omeiona plan that has caused consid erable talk, among their cu-tomers The plan is different from that fol lowed bv other remedies, but the remedy itself is different also. This treatment for the cure of catarrh has such an unusual record of cures to its credit that J. H. Hill & Bun offer to refund the money if it does not give the desired benefit. This is certainly one of the fairest offers that can be made and any one who has catarrh and doe3 not take advantage of it is doing himself or herself and injus tice. . The Hyomei treatment consists of a small hard rubber inhaler that can be carried in the vest pocket or purse, a medicine dropper and a bottle of Hyomei. The complete treatment costs but $1.00 and as the inhaler will last a lifetime the medicine is very inexpensive. Many people who have used it write that for the good Hyomei has done them they would willingly pay thousands of dollars Extra bottles of Hyomei can be nrocured for use with the inhaler at M. 50c. Do not suffer any longer with tickling, smarting, burning, eye- watering troubles that afflict those who have catarrh. Hyomei will cure you, Due li you snouia noc una it adaDted to your case, J. H. Hill A Son will return yourjnoney. Pink cheeks and golden hair, Blue eyes full oi glee; The secret of her prettiness, Is Rocky Mountain Tea. Hjggina Drug Co. VALUABLE JEWELS NO 54r TERRIBLE TRAGEDY. lrof. J, F. Bivins, Married Fire Days Ago, Killed by Fall From Back Platform of a Train Near Durham. Durham, N. C, Sept. 5. Prof. J. F. Bivins, head master of Trinity Park School, was killed this morn ing by falling from a train on the Seaboard road. He fell about six miles from Durham, between the 34 and 35th mile posts, and died just as the train pulled into the station here fifteen minutes later. He was re turning with his bride of five days from a trip to Virginia Beach. The terrible accident that caused the sudden taking off of Prof. Bivins has cast a shadow of gloom over the college community and in fact over the entire town. No accident in years has caused such a general out burst of sympathy and sadness. The bride-wife did not know that her husband was killed until the train pulled in here. He was taken to the baggage ear and she remained in the passenger end of the car. She was kept in ignorance of the facts until reaching here, this being: done in order to have medical attention a3 soon as possible. She saw the phy sicians as they entered the car and saw others pass through. "Where is my husband?" she asked, or words- to that effect. One of those who had just left the side of the dead man said that he was in the bacrirasre car. "How badly is he hurt?" she then asked and was told that his foot wag hurt. About that time Conductor Phifer came into the coach. 'How badly is my husband hurt is he dead?" came questions from.the now thoroughly distressed -wife. Then she was told. He was dead. There was nothing else to tell her, The honeymoon had ended in a terrible life tragedy. . MARRIED FIVE DAY. Last Thursday morning Prof. J. F. Bivins and Miss Fannie Carr were united in marriage. It was a very quiet affair, the ceiemony tak ing place in the parlor of the college inn, Dr. J. C. Kilgo officiating. That morning he and his bride left for Virginia Beach to spend a few days. They left there last evening at 9:15 o'clock and stopped in Henderson until time for the accommodation train to leave for Durham. The deceased is a son of the late J. M. Bivins of Albemarle. He gra duated from Trinity with the cla39 of 1896 and for live years had been at the head of the Trinity Park school. His bride was Miss Fannie Carr, daughter of Mrs. Eliza Carr. She graduated from Trinity with the same class of her husband and they were rivals for the highest class hen- ors He won and she came out with second place. From then until their marriage they were sweethearts. Their marriage a few days sgo wa3 a leading social event, at both were very popular and had a large num ber of friends in the city. A Smart Little Boy. Johnnie can be a "mighty smart little boy" at school when six years old, and a weak, puny little thing when he is twenty-one. Far better health, with no education, than much education and no health. No child should begin school until eight years old. Up to that time let him live in the sunshine and grow. Let this be done and instead of taking ten long years to go through the public school the work can easily be done in eight. For County Commissioner. To the Democratic Voters of Wayne County: , Through this medium I desire to inform my friends and the public generally that I am a candidate for County Commissioner, subject to the action of the County Democratic Convention, promising if elected, to fill this important otnee to the best of my ability, and the best interest 1 of aU concerned.
