CECELIA STOWE, Orator, Kutre Naa Club. 176 Warren Avenue, Chicago, 111., Oct. 22, 1902. For nearly four years 1 suffered from ovarian troubles. The doc tor insisted on an operation as the only way to pet well. 1, however, strongly objected to an operation. My husband felt disheartened as well as 1, for home with a sick woman is a disconsolate place at best. A friendly druggist advised him to get a bottle of Wine of Cardui for me to try, and he did so. I began to improve in a few davs and iny recovery was very rapid. With in eighteen weeks I was another being. Mrs. Stowe's letter shows every woman how a home is saddened by female weaknes and how completely Wine of Cardui cures that sick ness and brings health and happi ness again. Do not go on suffer ing.

New York city, near the corner of Fifth ave nue, the Democratic national committee has established headquar ters for the presidential canvass of 1904. If Mr. Dooley, who said recently that "th' wurruk iv th' campaign has uot begun," should visit this center of political activity he would be con vinced of his mistake. Work has not only begun, but it has begun in dead earnest on both sides. As the Demo crats were a little later than the Re publicans In getting started they are working now to make np for lost time. When Chairman Thomas Tagirt of the Democratic na tional committee is sued instructions to employees at the national headquar ters, the orders went forth in this way: "Report for duty at 7 a. m. sharp." The em ployees thought a mistake had been made In the hour and inquired if the smiling but not easy going chairman really meant to say 7 o'clock. "Yes, 7 a. in., and that doesn't mean 9 or noon." he replied. "Well, if that wouldn't Jar you," one at the staff remarked. "Think of tackling a political job at 7 a. m." Three floors have been set aside for the use of the committee. The head- DE LAXCEY NICOLL Phone number 40. I. F. Morrow. 1. W. Smith.

As for himself, Le said he was looking for a scheme for a sub- from New York to Indiana which he could use In such a way that his friends the enemy would not know when he came and when he went. The friends of Chairman Taggart say that when he was born in Ireland forty-five years ago he wore the smile that ln later years has aided him so much in his political career. At any rate, it is conceded that he is a born politician, and when his parents came to this country and settled in Ohio he had the discretion to perceive at an partnership in a wholesale dry goods house and turning from dry goods to finance in 1880, when he associated himself with Spencer Trask.

T"he long-expected toattle at Liao Yang has began, ana the two ar mies are now fighting what probably will prove to be the decisive battle of the campaign. The Japanese are attacking Genera) Kuropatkin's forces upon his chosen ground, and his friends and admirers here are confident that having accept ed a general engagement, he will de feat the Japanese. In a brief tele gram received this morning, Kuropat- kin says the general advance of the Japanese began yesterday at noon, the Russian outposts falling back upon the main lines. The heaviest fighting was taking place when his dispatch was sent, from a point 10 miles south east of Llao Yang, where the Japanese seemed to be concentrating for their main blow. The Russians suffered principally from the shra-pnel fire of the Japa nese" artillery. The Japanese select ed the mikado's birthday for the de cisive battle, and it will not be sur prising if today is also signalized by a grand assault on Port Arttiur. The Russian forces are disposed at Llao Yang to meet the onslaught of three . Japanese armies described in these dispatches yesterday. The tel egram from Kuropatkln, which gives this information, together with the de tails of the retirement of the Russian troops upon IJao Yang, have not been given out, for strategetic reasons. The combined armies of General Kuroki, General Oku and General Nod zu probably exceed 200.000 men. Their forces are considerably superior ln numbers to Kuropatkin's, but the Rus- sin 'commander-in-chief probably re lies on the strength and character of his position to overcome the disparity In numbers. The war office is waiting with a breathless anxiety for news of the progress of the battle on which so much depends. Shower of Shrapnel. Liao Yang, August 30. 10 a. m. From 5 o'clock this morning up to 9 o'clock there has been an incessant shower of shrapnel. The sound of cannonading is coming from the south. where the Japanese evidently have nu merous guns. Deadly shells are bursting everywhere, their white smoke being distinctly traceable against the dark foliage on the moun tain sides. The Japanese are search" ing the whole country side with their fire, selecting certain squares of terri tory on which, for a few moments, to mass a hail of shot and shell from all their guns. They then pass to an other square, thus working the whole field, with' mathematical precision, from right to left. In this way the entire Russian front has been system atically searched in the first four hours of the cannonading. Then com menced the general Japanese advance along the whole line. At this hour, 10 o'clock in the morning, the Japa nese artillery fire has somewhat slack ened, but their infantry is steadily pushing forward. The Russians have been holding their ground gallantly, and their losses are small considering the terrible na ture of the Japanese fire. & 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Men Who Republican & 0 0 0 0.0 0 Hun the Campaign T I m ?

When night fell, the batteries took up the retreat their rear guard lighting up bivouac fires to conceal the movement. But the Japanese soon discovered this ruse and pressed forward, coming up with the rear guards Sunday morning. For an hour the light batteries were hotly engaged. To the lot of the Omsk, Tobolsk and Krasnoyarsk regiments fell the duty of covering the retreat of General Zar- oubaieff's fourth Siberian army corps. The task was difficult as the enemy continued to advance, deploying light mountain guns against the Russian rear and left flanks, and it was imper ative that the enemy should be held back to permit the removal of the bag v gage and artillery train. Many ,guns were mired and the horses exhausted The Cossacks and many men were harnessed to the guns, and made' to haul them along.' It was slow work. but was successfully accomplished The greatest difliculty of the retire ment on the east front was expert enced before Van Hanti pass, where it was necessary to hold the Japanese in check until the artillery transport passed through and tried to keep in touch with the tenth army corps and led by General Herschelmann, to the north as well as the southern division, in older to prevent a turning move ment. From dawn until dark the eastern troops, althodgh fatigued by four days' fighting, sustained a rear guard action. HE political campaign of 1904 has now begun in earnest, and at the national headquarters of the Republican and Demo cratic parties in New York city all is bustle and activity. From now until election day the political pot will be kept boiling. The national Democratic headquarters is in the new Century building, at 1 West Thirty-fourth street. New York, while the Republican na tional committee has established offices in the splendid marble building at the corner of Madison avenue and Twenty- third street, where an extensive suit of rooms is devoted to the work of the committee. It is here that George B. Cortelyou. chairman of the Republican national committee, may usually be found. A western headquarters has also been opened in Chicago with El mer Dover, secretary of the committee, in charge. Th men who run the Republican campaign are the members of the na tional committee, and most, of this work . devolves on the chairman, sec retary, treasurer and an executive committee of eight members. In the campaigns of 186 and 1900 the chair man of the Repub lican national com- -mittee was the late geoege b. cortel Senator Hanua. In YOtJ choosing as chairman for this campaign a comparatively young inau like George Bruce Cortelyou the Republicans made a new departure. Mr. Cortelyou was selected because of his ultimate asso ciation with the president and because his close acquaintance with the issues upon which-the battle must be fought, together with the capacity for organi zation be has developed, made him seem well adapted for the place. The president wanted him in this posi tion, and the members of the commit tee deferred to his wish. Mr. Cortelyou is just forty-two years of age, and ten years ago he was stenographer to Pres ident Cleveland. Faithful service as private secretary to the president, first with McKinlej; and later with Roose velt, won him pro motion to the im portant post of sec retary of the new department of com merce and labor. Cornelius N. Bliss, treasurer of the committee, is one of the heavy weights of Repub lican politics. Cornelius x. buss though he is a mer chant, and when he has held official position it has been rather a-case of the. office seeking the man than the man the office. He was the treasurer of the Republican committee in the campaigns of 1892. 1890 and 1900. . He was born In Fall River. Mass., in 1833, educated in the public schools aud at an academy in that town aud at the New Orleans high school. His busi ness success was attained as a member of a New York firm of dry goods com mission merchants. Mr. Bliss was a member of the pan-American confer ence of 1S90. has been president of the Protective Tariff league and chairman of the New York state Republican com mittee. President McKinley appointed him secretary of the Interior. He has several times been talked of as the can didate of his party for governor of New York, but ha3 each time declined to permit his name to be presented to the convention. The late Senator Hanna's connection with the committee Is continued. It might be said, in the person of the secretary, Elmer Dover, who was the secretary of the Ohio senator. Mr. Han ua reposed greut confidence In him. Mr. Dover is a newspaper man and began bis career as an editor of Ohio papers at the early age of sixteen. He will feel at home in eharge of the Repub lican headquarters in Chicago, for he did work at the western headquarters in that city In the campaign of 1896, and it was then that he attracted the attention of Senator Hanna. Mr. Do ver Is thirty years of age. Is married and has two daughters.
