OUT Of EUROPE
BULGARIANS BLOW UP A BRIDGE,
THUS CUTTING OFF TURKISH
COMMUNICATION.
OTTOMAN ARMY NOT
lOCiTEO OTTER RETRUT
Unless Turks Are Able to Take Offen-
sive Vigorously, Indications Are
That They Will Be Driven
Out of Europe.
*
I-ondon, Kngland, Oct. 29 An inter-
esting question at the present moment
is the wht eabouts of the Turkish
army, of which nothing definite i»
known. The news that hski-Bul'a has
Leen taken by the Bulgarian cavalry,
apparently without resistance, shows
that Nazim Dasha's army is not where
It was supposed to have been—on the
line between Kulell Burgas and I.ule
Burgas. It may be farmer west ,tn
the direction of Demotlcal, but it Is
generally supposed it has retired from
the line of railway and entrenched It-
self on the long line from Ltemotica
to Tchorlu.
Constantinople dispatches continue
to speak of the readiness of the Turk-
ish army to take the offensive, in any
case a few days must see something
decisive. The victorious Bulgarian
army is still advancing. It has occu-
pied Bunmrhissar and is marching to-%
wards Kuleli Burgas. It is reported
that the Bulgarians have blown up a
iridge over the Tchorlu river, showing
that the turning movenieut is making
rapid progress.
Unless the Turks are able to take
the olfensive vigorously, the present
Indications are that they will be driv-
en out of Europe altogether, failing
Interference by the powers at the pres-
ent stage to end the war, as happened
in the Russian campaigns against Tur-
key in 1828 and 1878, when Russia had
captured Adrianople and was at the
gates of Constantinople.
There have been renewed activities
with regard to European intervention
in the last few days and great diplo-
matic activity in London. The Turkish
ambassador had a two-hours’ confer- I
ence on Sunday at the French embassy
and an important conference was held
today at the British foreign office.
Then the Turkish, French, Russian
and Italian ambassadors visited the
foreign secretary, who afterwards had
an audience with the king at Buck-
ingham Palace.
The news from other parts of the
theater of operations show that the
Turks everywhere are retiring before
tlte victorious allies.

FACE ALMOST COVERED WITH
PIMPLES AND BLACKHEADS
Atchison, Kan—“For a number of
years 1 Buffered very greatly from skin
eruption. My face was very red and
Irritated, being almoat covered with
pimples and blackheads. The pimples
were scattered over my faee. They
were a tins rash with the exception of
a few large pimples on my forehead
and chin. My face burned and looked
red as If exposed to either heat or
cold. It was not only unsightly but
very uncomfortable. I tried several
remedies but couldn't get any relief.
I was recommended to use Cutlcura
Soap and Cutlcura Ointment.
“I applied the Cutlcura Ointment in
the evening, leaving It for about five
minutes, then washing It ofT with
Cutlcura Soap and hot water. I wash-
ed with the Cutlcura Soap and hot wa-
ter also several times during the day.
After about four montha of this appli-
cation, my face was cleared of the
pimples. I still use the Cutlcura
Soap.” (Signed) Miss Elsie Nielson,

A Nice Distinction.
Senator Gronna, discussing a knot-
ty tariff problem, said in a speech:
“There is a nice distinction involved
here. You don’t notice It at first.
Once it is pointed out to you. however,
you perceive Its Immense importance.
“It’s the sort of distinction that

revealed to him during a conjugal
quarrel over a diamond tiara.
‘“People say,’ quavered the old
man, trembling with rage. ’People
say you only married me because 1
had money.’
"The young woman smiled superbly.
•• ‘Rubbish!’ she exclaimed. ’My pri-
mary reason for marrying you was
that I had no money myself."
Diffident Youth.
"Good morning, Mrs. Ales,” said a
grocery boy awaiting an order from a
lady in a suburban town.
"Please call me AUees,” answered
*he lady. "That’s my name.”
"But I don’t know you well enough
to call you Alice,” rejoined the youth,
confusedly.

“Why are you writing your play on

"I hear managers tear up a good

When in Mountain*.
Utica, N. Y„ Oct. 29—James S- Sher-
man, vice president of the United
States,- is seriously ill and steadily
failing at his home here. While his
physician, Dr. Fayette H. Peck, be-
lieves there is no immediate danger of
death, yet the patient’s condition is
such that it is a matter of conjecture
how much longer he can withstand the
ravages of the disease with which he
is affeced.

Final and Fatal Question.
Bobby was in an especially trying
mood, and had asked so many ques-
tions as to bring upon himself stern
parental command to be silent. By
and by, however, he so humbly solicit-
ed permission to Bpeak that this was
reluctantly granted. And this was the
time when poor Bobby put his foot
Into It with a vengeance.
“I only wanted to ask.” he said,
meekly, ’’what made your hair all

“Where’d ye git your new hired
