All I was joy, peace, harmony, good feel- 5 ing and fellowship. One must lie * I present on such occasions to fully I realize and appreciate its glory and 1 grandeur. 1 ? ] The Crescent Steam Laundry. ( For th<5 first time we visited a ( steam laundry, thoj- crescent steam j laundry of this city recently put in j operation by Mr. R. M. Estcs & Co. To our amazement the entire machinery is simple and easily operated and the work it does is perfectly astonishing. Tho machinery itfall perfectly new tyid of the latest and 1 most improved, patent. This laun- : dry is being very liberally patronized by the city people and the neighboring towns, and also by the rural districts. The prices for work done is very reasonable, and to have 1 it done so nicely and in a satisfactory manner, insures peace and pleasure in the family circle. Mr. R. M. Estes, the general manager, is very enthusiastic over this fine enterprise and has every assurance of success in the undertaking. < Union has long -stood in need of a good laundry, and now that it is hero, we hope that the people will show their appreciation by their I liberal .patronage, MUKDEN'S FALL NOW IMMINENT. JAPS ROUT AND SURROUND KUROPATKIN'S ARMY. Russian Line Pierced? righting Desperately to Escape from Oyama's Clutches?Losses ; are Enormous. With General Oku's forces in front of Mukden, Sunday, March 3.?The Russian right has l>cen completely shattered and the troops jf the czar are in full retreat, leaving behind them thousands of dead md wounded, and large quantities )f stores and munitions. The fighting during the last three days has jcen of a fierceness of character that easily eclipsed any previous performance of the war and once again the troops of the Mikado have carried well nigh impregnable positions at the point of the bayonet ifter having first made a breach by the use of heavy siege guns and an ibundance of well delivered schrapncl. After dark on Saturday night the jluards Division charged across a section of level ground and stormed die Russian rifle pits at the summit of the hills which comprised ,he second line of defenses. In the iicc of a withering and unusually ^ell-directed fire they plunged on ip to the top and drpve the Rusrians out at the point of the bayoict. Early this (Sunday) morning the >rdcr was given to renew the attack md the entire column, in cschelon formation, moved on and up against ;hc heights where the Russians were nasscd. It was one of the most lespcrate charges in the history of nodcrn warfare but. the fro nth. ushes of the intrepid Japanese :ould not not l>e withstood and vhen the columns were finally halted to permit the men a breathing spell the Japanese lines had been noved forward a good two miles. This advantage was quickly folowed up and before the demoralized Russians could recover their spirits mother assault, and if anything a nore persistently directed one, was jogun. In the meantime a large letachment of pieked men had been x>ld off and they crossed the Hun [liver and moved down, taking the Russians on the flank, completing a turning movement in magnificent style. The blow was well delivered and within an hour the entire Russian right was in confusion and their tire demoralized. Hundreds of Russians threw away their guns in 5rder to l>e able to more quickly retreat and the entire rout was lined with abandoned accoutrements. Several Russian field pieces were captured in this movement. The Japanese left is still moving rapidly forward and is encountering but little opposision as the Russian troops arc too badly frightened to make more than a perfunctory resistance. Romance of a Little Slipper. Upon my soul! bah Jo! Miss Teazle that was a graceful fall. Lucky you are not hurt; but you did not have far to fall you know, you arc petite you know: Went round that umbrella staff one time too many for your equilibrium, allow me to help you to rise. O! thanks Dr. Fair, but where is my dipper, That's queer isn't it, not *o strange either, if we knew where Mr. Huggins went. For shame, you suppose he snatched my slipper md left the room. He nor the dipper are now in this room. Tret's SO for hnn. Now Mr. Boulwarc I appeal to you as one familiar with the process of recovering stolen property, to proceed at once*in the most cxpcdicious and summary manner possible to have my property restored to my ]x>ssession immediately if not sooner.
