Mukden, May 25.-11 P- m.—Accord ing Well Paid Literary Men. The “lit'ry feller” is usually pictured as a man who wears long hair, eye glasses and an abstracted air. Cari caturists are fond of picturing him in a seedy frock coat in the act of im portuning a brutal editor or a stage manager. Of course there are many of this type left, but. it is said, there are at least a hundred men in New York who earn incomes ranging from $20,000 to $.'0,000 by their own unaid ed typewriters. At least New York is their market, but most of them pre fer the suburbs for home. Clyde Fitch, Gus Thomas, John Kendrick Hangs and others of that class of successful writers all have, fine homes within au hour's ride of the city, where they live and entertain on a smile that the liter ary man of a half century ago would not even have dreamed of. to the latest information obtain able, the Japanese have resumed their forward movement. Several columns are advancing, though the hulk of the invading army is still near Feng Wang Cheng. There are persistent reports of a bloody battle having taken place be tween the Japanese army advancing along the railroad from Pulantien and the Russians, near Kin Chou, Liao Tung peninsula, resulting in the de feat of the Japanese with great loss. Small parties of Japanese scouts hav > been seen northeast of Mukden, at a considerable distance, but no important body of the enemy has been located in this vicinity. Liao Yang.

Cured His Mother of Rheumatism. “My mother has been a sufferer for many years with rheumatism,” says W. H. Howard, of Husband. Pa. “At times she was unable to move at all, while at all times walking was pain ful. I presented her with a bottle of Chamberlain’s Pain Halm and after a few applications she decided it was the most wonderful pain reliever she had ever tried, in fact, she is never without it now and is at all times able to walk. An occasional applica tion of Pain Halm keeps away the pain that she was formerly troubled with.” For sale by Cherokee Drug Co., Gaffney; L. D. Allison, Cowpens.

Eczema and other skin diseases, also sores, cuts, burns and wounds of every kind are quickly cured by it. Sold by Cherokee Drug Co. Six Thousand Troops Have Been Land ed at Takushan. Che Frxv May 25.—2 p. m.—Chinese junks arrived from Takushan, a part lying southwest of Antung, report the landing of 5.000 Japanese troops at Takushan on the 21st instant. Another junk from Pitsewo reports the Japanese landing a small num- i ber of troops there every day and building temporary barracks on Elliott island, where a hundred ships, in cluding men-of-war and transports, have made a rendezvous. Only small skirmishes are reported along the western shore of the Liao Tung pe ninsula ii|* to the 22d. Heavy firing was heard in the direction of Port Arthur yesterday, indicating that a land attack has been commenced a* the Japanese lleet is not to be seen off Port Arthur. Dalny refugees say that General Stoessol bus taken all the cash from the Port Arthur and Danly banks, so that the depositors are unable to cash checks. There are two Takushans on the Liao Tung peninsula. One lies about 40 miles southwest of Antung, anu the other Is situated midway between Pitsewo and Talienwan bay.

Dallas, Tex., May 25—The general assembly of the Cumberland Presby terian church met this morning with the hope of being able to dispose ol the question of church union tonight or tomorrow morning. The assembly is meeting in the Cen- tray Christian church, which provides better facilities for the large bodies at tending the debate. The usual devo tional exercises were held, durin* which references were frequent 1> made to the great question at hand, and special pleas were made for Di vine guidance in its solution. The assembly was then called to or der by Moderator Settle. The space allotted to visitors was jammed and many could not gain entrance. Th (i debate on the proposed churc* union immediately Ifbgan and contin ued throughout the morning session, being marked with great earnestness on the part of the speakers. The rare feature of the question is being emphasized many delegates holding it as their belief that the diversity ol views between the northern and south ern churches on this point are too wide for an agreement. A Story Told About tbe Jap*m««e A <1 in I rn I *m College Day*. Admiral Sotokichi Urlu, who Is win ning distinction In the Japanese navy, received his nautical education at An napolis, where he took high standing and was popular with his classmates, says the Saturday Evening Post. He was noted for studying hard and for great conscientiousness in the perform- tnce of the thousand and one duties of the uavai cadet. Not long after enter ing and while our language was still largely a mystery to him he was one Jay confined to his room by a slight 111- tiess. He was looked after by the sur geon, and his condition became a inat- ser of record. Nevertheless he felt moved to send explanations to a favor- te Instructor, and did so as follows: My Teacher—You have seen that I do not stand before you. I am inclosed in the room by the much sickness. I do not feel like making the stir. I regret to miss your most beautiful instruction of the mathematic. Tomorrow 1 hope greatly to find it easy to make the stir. From his achievements in the present war the admiral seems to be in full possession of his ability to “make the itir.” An Open Letter.

Take some reliable remedy for it today—and let that remedy be Boschee’s German Syrup, which has been in use for over thirty-five years. A few doses of it will undoubtedly relieve your cough or cold, and its con tinued use for a few days will cure you completely. No matter how deep- seated yrmr cough, even if dread con sumption has attacked your lungs, German Syrup will surely effect a cure—as it has done before in thous ands of apparently hopeless cases of lung trouble.
