A dozen empty hlsky bottles In the room told the story of inordinate appetite of the old man for liquor. "Dr. Harry Mackey, of the City Dispensary testified at the coroner's inquest that he had probably died from alcoholism. He said that he was called to the rooming houS'j to see him and that he was very low from alca-holic poisoning. The doctor left medicine and promised to call again yesterday.

But Dr. Sheak went ins'eal and took the ambulance to haul what was left of the old soldier to the city morgue, where he awaits indentifica-tion by relatives, If they can be found. Very little is known of him. He went to the rooming house two weeks ago and immediately began to drink heavily. He intimated that, he had been an inmate of the Saldiera' Home at Marion, but said little of himself and no questions were asked." Toklo, May 2.

Tokio, May 2.After five days of fighting, largely with artillery, the first Japanese army under General Ku-rokl has forced a crossing of the Yalu river and with a gallant Infantry charge covering a frontage of four miles, It drove the Russians from Chiu-Tien-Cheng and the heights on the right bank of the Iho or Aida river, which enters the Yalu from the north almost opposite Wiju. The Japanese turned the left flank of the Russian position and in the battle of Sunday they awept away the new front interposed by the Russians to check their onward movement. The present position of the Japanese is a dominating one, and they may force the abandonment of the defenses erected by the Russians at Antung and other points lower down the river. General Kuroki began the movement on Tuesday by ordering a detachment of the imperial guards division to seize the island of Kurito, which is in the Yalu above Wiju, and a detachment of the second division to seize the island of Kinteito.

which is situated below Wiju. The detachment of the Imperial guards met with some resistance, but it succeeded in clearing the enemy out and occupied Kurito island. The Russians abandoned the Island of Intlnto when attacked by the detachment of the Second division. The battle was' waged intermittently until Sunday morning, when General Kuroki centered all his artillery on the Russian position between Chiu township, and Harry Penny, trustee of Jackson township, was appointed to arrange a program for the trustees' meeting that will be held in Richmond May 19. At this session good roads will be one of the subjects thoroughly discussed.

They sized up the municipal campaign that has b( en waging for the past three weeks and came to the conclusion that although the chances are slim, they must make a big "hurrah" tomorrow and hustle for the ticket. It was reported that a campaign fund was raised, but this is denied by a Democrat who said he was present, and that there was not a man In the meeting who contributed a single penny.

In some of the wards rigs will be used by the Democrats to carry voters to the polls, but in others they will have to walk, as the committee could not arrange fur them. One prominent Democrat was asked today what the chances were: "Oh," he said, "we take a rosy view of the outlook for tomorrow. We expect to at least cut down the majority of Mayor Zimmerman of two years ago and may win." He said "may win" with such a telltale smile, however, that it indicated he was not In full sympathy with the statement. date will be announced later.
