All communications should be addressed: HARRY C. SMITH. Editor and Propretor THE GAZETTE, Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio. Member Ohio Legislature, {1894 to 1896. 1896 to 1898. 1900 to 1902. CLEVELAND. SATURDAY. APRIL 16, 1904. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. In a communication, part of which we publish on our first page today, Prof. DuBois has again "struck the key note." Read it carefully, thoughtfully. If you must get mobbed have it done in Ohio, where they pay your heirs and legal descendants $5,000.—Indianapolis Freeman. We merely republish the above that our conferes may "read between the lines" and judge of the mental calibre of the individual "grinding out" editorial notes for that paper, and note the animus which prompts his comments on our Ohio Anti-Lynching law. A great (?) fellow this, eh? George A. Myers, the well-known political leader at Cleveland, O., and who was a close personal friend of the late Senator Hanna, has the credit of giving Mr. Hanna the name which followed him through his entire political career. That name was "Uncle Mark."—Frankfort (Ky.) Blue Grass Bugle. Surely Dr. E. E. Underwood, editor of the Bugle, did not write the above. He knows better, having been a resident of Cleveland some years ago, and still somewhat familiar with conditions and individuals here. Myers is not and never has been a "political leader at Cleveland," or anywhere else. Nor was he "a close personal friend of the late Senator Hanna." He was only one of Hanna's barbers, as he confessed in an interview published a few weeks ago in a local daily paper, and it is wrong to attempt to continue a different impression. Nor has Myers "the credit of giving Mr. Hanna the name 'Uncle Mark';" for he never originated nor gave it to him. Our contemporaries should cease republishing the silly stories relative to Myers and Hanna. They are threadbare and absolutely without foundation in fact. LET US BE JUST. An eminent man and distinguished United States Senator has been within the present month sentenced to imprisonment for six months and to pay a penalty of $2,500 for unlawfully receiving money. We heartily sympathize with Senator Burton that he is called to pass through such a trying ordeal. His past record gave promise of a grand and prosperous career. We regret the misfortune which has so abruptly blackened a career which seemed to be one of remarkable usefulness. Forwardned is to be forearmed, and we could wish a thousand times that the Senator had been so stayed against any seduction that might present itself. Occupying one of the highest places in the gift of the nation the affair affords one of the most pitiable spectacles ever yet brought before the American people. A Senator of the United States and a man of letters and learning is at once reduced to a condition beneath that, of the common people. How has the mighty fallen? He has fallen from the highest pinnacle of American fame and glory. At one time, Senator Burton stood without a peer save in the nation's senate. He held a power which the wealth and the aristocracy of the country might well envy, but today he stands a disfranchised and rejected citizen. The misfortune of Senator Burton is a national calamity, because it is a sad reflection upon American institutions and free government, and it will long remain as a blight upon the lofty position occupied by our highest dignitaries. But we feel a personal sympathy for the man and for any man who might have attained a distinction so much to be desired, and it is a pity that greatness should be thus dethroned. But living under a free and powerful government where, under the constitution, all men are admitted to equal privileges and are to be tried by a common law, how would this whole matter be viewed, had the unfortunate Senator been other than white man? What would be the comments of the press and the sentiment of the ruling powers had this victim to mercenary gain been an Afro-American? Instead of a feeling of quiet sympathy there would be denunciation and abuse. Again the entire race would be assailed as being unnt for official trust and undeserving a place of honor among the people. Suffering the severest excoriations and hounded from pillow to post, one may still wonder why this mad assault upon a poor and defenseless people, while white and black alike are guilty of the same sin. A drunken white man kills his wife and forces his little children out into the cold rain to suffer and die, and while in a delirium this Kentucky farmer sets his house on fire and perishes in the dames. Even in this instance had this been a black man, the brand of wretch and brute would have been the chosen epethets applied to degrade and render worthless and brutal a people struggling in common for better life. We offer these citations not in any feeling of pleasure or resentment but as an illustration of the foul-handed injustice and wrong that is every day being practiced to destroy and undervalue one people in the attempt to magnify the virtues and excellence of the other. HOW ADAMS BECAME PRESIDENT Editor Clifford Tells It Interestingly as Well as Truthfully-Fortune Resigns. We helped to elect Mr. Fortune as president of the Afro-American council and regret his resignation. He is a brainy man. deeply interested in the rights of the race, and could have helped the cause on, and should have held the position given him, although the council has not done one thing of noble worthiness from its birth to this day. The money paid into its treasury has been too freely spent by officers galloping over the country on cipher business. The idea of charging a person $5 to join and then $5 every year to remain a member. It was akin to robbery. As to Mr. Fortune resigning from the National Negro Press Association, there was no need for it, from the fact there is none. Nearly six years ago, when there had been no Press meeting for two years, and no one belonging to it was there except Cyrus Field Adams and myself, and Mr. John E. Bruce, an Ex., we feigned an organization which has been a sham ever since. After the council had adjourned, we called C. F. Adams and Mr. Bruce into a room, and we nominated Mr. Adams, president, and voted for him; then he nominated us for secretary, and voted for us; then we nominated John E. Bruce treasurer, and Mr. Bruce fell off the chair in laughter. We then adjourned, and the said Mr. Adams has ever since held that empty honor, because there has never been a real gathering since then. All Mr. Adams has done, was to follow up the council and have side issue meetings.—Martinsburg (W. Va.) Pioneer Press. WAR MAY LAST 22 YEARS. English Expert Compares Japan with Great Britain at Beginning of Nineteenth Century. Miller Maguire, the well-known British expert, lectured before the Royal United Service institution of London the other day on the subject, "The New Pacific from a Strategic Point of View." The lecturer demonstrated the universal desire in the past and at the present day to obtain a footing on the Pacific. He described the advance of Russia, the United States and Great Britain, saying: "The United States' capture of the Philippines has created a new Pacific. The United States has a vast reservoir of mechanical and labor power. It knows the potentialities of the Chinese and intends to control them." Referring to the present situation in the far east, he said at the beginning of the twentieth century Great Britain and Japan bore the same relation to eastern Asia as Great Britain bore to French power at the beginning of the nineteenth. He ventured to say that the Japanese might repeat in regard to the Korean peninsula what Great Britain did in regard to the Iberian. He saw no reason why the Russo-Japanese war should not last for 22 years, as did Great Britain's peninsular war. Reformers Open New Hall. On last week Thursday the Reformers held the formal opening of their new hall in the rear of No. 305 Cedar avenue. It was a big day for the order. Dinner and supper were served at 8 p. m. The vast assembly was called to order by Toastmaster P. A. Williams, W. M., of Bishop Paine fountain, No. 2511. The hall was packed and the program was very interesting. Mrs. Grace Brown sang a beautiful selection and was enclosed. Then came the speech making. Miss Maud Reed, J. C. Burton, Rev. B. K. Smith, all of Oberlin, made excellent addresses, and were followed by the chief, Rev. W. L. Anderson, of Cincinnati. The crowning event of the evening, however, was the public installation of 70 officers. This was a sight rarely seen. Chief Anderson visited Lorain on Friday, Oberlin on Monday, and wound up his trip with a union meeting of local fountains on Tuesday evening. This was the climax. Look out for the U. O. of T. R. Warren Coleman Dead. Concord, N. C.—Warren C. Coleman, who was one of the most remarkable men of the race, started life in poverty but became, through his own exertions, one of the wealthiest Afro-Americans. He was once a student at Howard University, Washington, D. C., sustaining himself. Later he established himself in business and purchased real estate. At the time of his death he was said to be the owner of 100 houses, none of which were encumbered. Mr. Coleman started the first cotton factory in this country, owned and operated by our people. He built a beautiful brick church in Concord, and presented it to the congregation, and was one of the chief promoters of the Colored State Industrial fair, held, annually at Raleigh for the past 25 years.

Five Injured, Two of Whom Will Die -The Battleship Was Engaged in Target Practice Off Pensacola, Fla. Pensacola, Fla., April 14.—By the explosion of 2,000 pounds of powder in the after 12-inch turret and the handling room of the battleship Missouri, Capt. William S. Cowles commanding, 29 men were instantly killed and five injured, of whom two will die. The Missouri was on the target range with the Texas and Brooklyn at practice about noon yesterday when a charge of powder in the 12-inch left hand gun ignited from gases, exploded and, dropping below, ignited four charges of powder in the handling room and all exploded. Only one man of the entire turret and handling crew survives. But for the prompt work of Capt. Cowles in flooding the handling room and magazine with water, one of the magazines would have exploded and the ship would have been destroyed. Capt. Cowles, completely overcome by the disaster, referred all newspaper men to Lieut. Hammer, the ordnance officer. The latter gave out a statement of the explosion and its probable cause. According to him about noon after the first pointer of the after 12-inch piece had fired his string and the second pointer had fired the third shot of his string, the charge ignited. The fourth shot was being loaded and from all indications the first half of the charge had been rammed home and the second section was being rammed home, when gases from the shot previously fired or portions of the cloth cover ignited the powder. No loud report was made, but flames were seen to leap from every portion of the turret. A few seconds later another explosion, somewhat more fierce, occurred. This was in the handling room below, where 1,600 pounds of powder, or four charges ready to be hoisted above, had ignited. Fire quarters were sounded and every man of the ship responded and the magazine and handling rooms were flooded with water. In less than five seconds after the first explosion, two streams of water were being played in the rooms and when volunteers were called for every man of the ship responded, eager to go into the turrets and rescue the erew. Capt. Cowles gave his commands and but for his presence of mind and that of the officers of the ship, the Missouri would have gone down. The second explosion occurred near one of the magazines and so hot was the fire that the brass work of the magazines was melted. Smoke and the fumes of the burned powder made it almost impossible to enter either the turret or handling room, but officers and men with handkerchiefs over their faces made efforts to rescue the men inside. Leading the rescuing party was Capt. Cowles. The officers endeavored to keep him from going below, as men fell unconscious as they entered and had to be pulled out by their comrades, but unheeding their advice the commanding officer rushed below, followed by Lieut. Hammer, the ordnance officer, and Lieut. Cleland Davis. Capt. Cowles caught up a dying blue jacket in his arms and staggered to the deck with him. The blue jacket with two others from the handling room had crawled partly from their place of duty when they had been overcome. Before the fumes of the burning powder had left the turret, officers and men were lifting out the dying and dead men. Three minutes after the explosion all were on deck and the surgeons from the Missouri, Texas and Brooklyn were attending to those not dead. Lieut. Davidson, the officer in charge of the turret, evidently had given some command to the men, as he was on top of the heap of men. The dead officers are: Lieut. W. C. Davidson, in charge of the 12-inch turret. Midshipman W. T. Neumann. Lieut. J. P. V. Gridley. Lieut. Thomas Ward. jr. DEMOCRATS FEASTED. Party Leaders Observed the Anniversaries of different African Bishops sary of Thomas Jefferson's Birth. Chicago, April 14.—Ways and means to bring success to the democratic party in the presidential campaign this fall were discussed by prominent democrats, representing every part of the country, who attended the Iroquois club banquet at the Auditorium last night in celebration of Jefferson's birthday. Tariff reform, antagonism to trusts, independence for the Philippines and rigid economy in public expenditures were some of the suggestions offered by the speakers to bring about this result. A feature of the banquet was a letter from ex-President Cleveland, who had been invited to attend, but was unable to be present. In his letter Mr. Cleveland advised all democrats to make a close study of Jefferson's career and "patriotically seek the welfare of our country through the ascendancy of safe and sane democracy." A Terrine Rush for Jobs. New York, April 14—So great was the crowd of applicants for positions in a new department store on Sixth avenue yesterday that it became necessary to call out the police reserves to maintain order. It was estimated that anywhere from 4,000 to 8,000 persons were in waiting at 8 o'clock, the hour named in advertisements for receiving the applications. The Sixth avenue block extending from Thirteenth to Fourteenth street, and for several hundred feet east was literally jammed with men, women, boys and girls clamoring for a chance to get in the building. First Trip Through the Subway. New York, April 14.—The first trip through the new subway in a regulation motor car with passengers, was made yesterday afternoon from One Hundred and Thirty-fifth street to a point down town. August Belmont and John B. McDonald, with about 20 other persons, all of whom have been directly interested in the building of the subway, were in the car and various points along the route were inspected. Motive power for the train was supplied by one of the old "L" locomotives, which had been remodelled. World's Fair Excursions via Pennsylvania Lines.

"Save your old rubbers for the Old Folks' Home," is a request Mr. Wallace Bolden is making and by the way, an excellent idea. Mr. Thomas Batties has filed a petition for divorce from his wife, Susie Chambers Botties, formerly a resident of Oberlin. The Industrial League listened to a special eermon, Sunday, at Antioch church; the pastor preaching it. There were other exercises. The Vincent club grows steadily in favor because Manager Simmons treats his patrons so considerately. A "mecca" is No. 35 Chestnut street. L. G.

Jackson, of Cincinnati, who spent last week in this city and Oberlin, was, with the editor of The Gazette, given a delightful ride throughout the city on Thursday afternoon by Mr. George W. Johnson, in his automobile. It was thoroughly enjoyed. The concert for the benefit of the Old Folks' Home given at St. Johns church on Wednesday evening, was not nearly as well attended as it ought to have been. The bands playing as well as the solo numbers, were very good. It volunteered its services receiving only expenses. Archdeacon Abbott unexpectedly visited St. Andrew's Mission, Sunday morning, and preached a very inspiring sermon. The Sunday school lenton offering for missions amounted to more than $11. Elsworth Wills, and Blanche Jefferson, won the prize books for the largest offerings. Roy Crawford had Dan Young arrested last week, for smashing him in the eye at the charity ball. The case was continued until Wednesday, when Judge Whelan dismissed it, telling the belligerents to "shake hands and be friends." "Hardly," quote Dan. "sotto voce," as they shook hands.

The Men's club of St. Andrews church was addressed on Wednesday evening by the editor of The Gazette. Rev. E. S. Doan, the rector, presided and introduced the speaker. The subject was "The Recent Lynching and Riot at Springfield." At the conclusion, Mr. Smith was tendered a unanimous rising vote of thanks. Considerable enthusiasm was aroused. Next meeting, April 27. Miss Ida A. Gibbs, daughter of Hon. Mifflin W. Gibbs, of Little Rock, Ark., former consul to Madagascar, and Mr. William Henry Hunt, the present consul there, and Mr. Gibbs' former secretary, were married April 12. Miss Gibbs is an Oberlin College graduate and for years has been a Washington, D. C., High School teacher. She is one of our best young women, and is well known here. Rev. Wm. R. Wilson, who was cited into court by Judge Dissette last week and given the alternative of paying his divorced wife $5 alimony by Saturday night or going to jail, was in court Monday, with $3. "All I could get together, judge," he said. "But I think I can have the rest, together with the amount due this week, by Saturday night, if you'll give me the time." Judge Dissette allowed the request. An incipient fight was all that marred the pleasantness of the charity ball. It is said that Daniel Young and Leroy Crawford became involved in a personal dispute which ended in the former's "batting" the latter in the mouth. This was but a logical sequence of permitting certain persons a part in the management of public benefits. As indicated in our last issue more care should be exercised in the future, along this line. Mrs. Annie Irving Douglass, formerly of this city, a resident of Cumberland, Md., died on the 6th, leaving a child only eight months of age. A husband, three sisters, a brother and father, all residents of this city except one sister, who is a resident of Arkansas, where she taught school until her marriage and at times thereafter, survive her.

Mr. Corom had resided here many years, was generally known and highly respected. His family and relatives have the sympathy of the community. Four little Afro-Americans with eyes a-shine and teeth as white as snow, peered over the rail in juvenile court at Judge Callahan last week Friday morning. They were all between 8 and 10 years old and live on Scovill avenue. Their names were Charles, Orville, Fritz and Russell. It was alleged they helped themselves to candy and two watches, two silver spoons, two brooches, two rings, and a couple of chains, besides taking a missionary box containing 75 cents THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, APRIL 16, 1904. in a candy store. Most of the stuff was returned. Judge Callahan gave the boys a lecture. Wm. Hill, Pullman porter, sued Buchanan & Stevens in Justice Ginley's court, for the loss of a $65 overcoat, made of black beaver and lined with satin. He said it disappeared from the checkroom while he was attending a ball at Woodliff hall on March 16. The defendants offered to arbitrate the claim so the parties appeared Monday with a tailor from the Holldenden. The tailor was to fix the market value of the overcoat, and said $35. Hill, horrified, rushed out of the court room. He came back an hour or so later with another tailor. This tailor said such a coat was worth at least $65. But while Hill was absent 'Squire Ginley decided $30 was a fair valuation for the black beaver overcoat, and gave judgment for that amount. Hill conducted his own case. Eugene Manns, of No. 29 Laurel street, was recently arrested on a warrant sworn out by the city health department, charging him with working without a plumber's license. One of the requirements for a license is that the applicant shall have the names of two master plumbers on his application card for the examination. Manns said that there is not one Afro-American master plumber in the city, and that other master plumbers refuse to sign his application card. Strange to say this "went" with Judge Whelan, who gave Manns a suspended sentence on the promise that he would not violate any more city ordinances. Of course Manns' part of the story has absolutely no foundation in fact—as far as the color line's being drawn in the way, he said, by all local master plumbers. Bert Jackson, assistant fireman at the Hollenden hotel, was scalded while he was in one of the big boilers in the basement of the hotel Tuesday morning. He was taken to Huron street hospital, where it is said his chances of life and death are about equally divided. Jackson had crawled through the manhole into the boiler, over the flues, to clean it out. The head fireman, Luke Gray, helped him run a hose into the boiler. A few minutes later Bay heard the whistle, which is a warning that the boiler is getting too full of water. He "blew down," and a stream of scalding steam struck Jackson. If it had struck him in the face it would prooably have killed him outright. He was scalded all over his body. Gay heard his screams and turned off the steam. Jackson crawled through the manhole and fell to the floor. The house physician was called, and later an ambulance. Jackson is 25 years old and has a wife. He has been an employee of the hotel 15 years. He will recover. FINANCIAL REPORT OF CHARITY BALL RECEIPTS.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF IT? This, but strengthen our comment of a week or so ago, and that is that it is about time to put a stop to this thing of permitting any one who pleases, to give "benefits" etc., for charitable institutions, especially the Old Folks' Home. Crawford got $13.83 and Fleming, Blue & Co., got $23.50. Total, $37.33. And too, they were members of the committee in charge of the CHARITY Ball! Well! well!!

My back ached and I had bearing-down pains, and frequent headaches. I would often wake from a restful sleep in such pain and misery that it would be hours before I could close my eyes again. I dreaded the long nights and weary days. I could do no work. I consulted different physicians hoping to get relief, but, finding that their medicines did not cure me, I tried Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, as it was highly recommended to me. I am glad that I did so, for I soon found that it was the medicine for my case. Very soon I was rid of every ache and pain and restored to perfect health. I feel splendid, have a fine appetite, and have gained in weight a lot."—MISS FRANKIE ORSER, 14 Warrenton St., Boston, Mass.—$5000 forfeit if original of above letter proving genuineness cannot be produced.

"Annabell!" called a Manchester mother over the banisters, as she heard the front door close. "Yes, mamma," replied a sweet, girlish voice, and Annabell Googan slowly framed herself in the darkness of the staircase, relates London Tit-Bits. "Was that Mr. Tinberry, Annabel?" "It was, manma." it was, mamma. "Do you know it is 20 minutes past 11?" came in cold tones from the wrapped figure in the upper hall. "Mamma, we didn't the slightest idea it was so late," said the young girl, earnestly. "You see," she continued. "Mr. Tinberry has been telling me about China and Japan. He said everybody ought to know about them, and it was so interesting, we never thought how late it was getting. Do you know, mamma," added the sweet girl, as she reached the landing, "that in China they—" "Did Mr. Tinberry draw a map of China on your face, Annabel?" asked Mrs. Googan, sternly. "Why, mamma?" asked the girl in startled tones. The young girl rushed to a mirror and saw with horror-stricken glance that the left side of her face was streaked and stained with ink. "Heaven and earth!" she screamed; "his fountain pen must have leaked into his waistcoat pocket!" and with a shriek of horror the beautiful girl fell, fainting to the floor. The Doctors Failed. Kilgore, O., April 11.—A rather remarkable case has just come to light in this place. Mr. John T. Riegle had been suffering for some time with an aggravated form of Kidney disease which had caused him a great deal of discomfort. He tried the treatment of several doctors, but did not get any better. At last he chanced to read an advertisement of Dodd's Kidney Pills, a remedy which has been making many wonderful cures, and he bought some at once and began to use them. He says of the result: "Dodd's Kidney Pills do just what they are advertised to do. I can praise them for the good they have done for me. They cured me completely after the doctors had failed, and I wish that every poor sufferer could hear of them, for I know they will cure Kidney trouble." There seems to be no case of Kidney Trouble, Rheumatism or Backache that Dodd's Kidney Pills will not cure perfectly and permanently.

JAPAN'S STRUGGLE WITH RUSSIA London, April 11.—No confirmation has reached London of the various rumors, most of which came by way of Paris, of land fighting and landings by Japanese on the Liao-Tung peninsula, the capture of Japanese transports by Russians, etc. On the night of April 9 four Russians crossed the Yalu to Yenampo (Yongampho?) and made towards a Russian village where they found a squadron of Japanese cavalry. They remained there 12 hours, when they were betrayed by Koreans and found Dispatches from various points agree that the Russians have completely evacuated Korea, but beyond this there is little reliable news. A correspondent of the Times at Che-Foo says that 2,000 Russian artillerymen with 60 guns arrived at New Chwang on Thursday last. St. Petersburg, April 11. The anticipated attack on Port Arthur did not occur Saturday night, although a telegram received from Grand Duke Cyril reports that the enemy's ships were sighted on the horizon. INCREASE RUSSIA'S FORCES St. Petersburg, April 12.—Exceptionally reliable information regarding the Russian military plans confirm the repeated announcements that these plans will not mature until late in the summer. They are of far greater magnitude than is generally believed abroad and take into account all possible contingencies. Gen. Kuropatkin has insisted that the men and guns to be placed at his disposal shall cover the extreme limit required to settle the fate of the campaign. The Russian plans are predicated upon Napoleon's dictum that "God fights on the side of the heaviest battalions" and they are being worked out and timed so as to apply to a superiority of numbers on land and sea simultaneously. The army is designed to attain the enormous total of half a million men at the time scheduled for the reinforcement of Vice Admiral Makaroff's fleet with the Baltic squadron. Rear Admiral Rojestrensky will hoist his flag as commander of the formidable Baltic squadron early in July and will sail immediately for Port Arthur with six battleships, six cruisers and two transports each carrying 10,000 tons of coal. Paris, April 12. Official advices received by the French government confirm the press dispatches announcing that Japan's first army, consisting of four army corps, is now completely landed in Korea and that the second army, consisting of a similar number of corps, is about to start. RUSSIAN VICTORY Che Foo, April 13.—A correspondent of the Associated Press at Teng Chow, 40 miles northwest of here, telegraphs as follows: "Sounds of very heavy firing were heard at 6:30 o'clock this (Wednesday) morning. The firing evidently was being done between here and Port Arthur. "The Japanese battleship Asahi, flying an admiral's flag, was seen off Che Foo yesterday, going to the west, and there is no doubt that the remainder of the Japanese fleet was in the vicinity of Port Arthur. The Russian fleet also was seen outside Port Arthur yesterday." St. Petersburg, April 13—Gen. Kuropatkin, in a dispatch to the emperor bearing yesterday's date, says that Gen. Krasnalinski, on the night of April 8, ordered a detachment of sharpshooters to cross to the left bank of the Yalu opposite Wiju. The sharpshooters landed on the island of Samalind and surprised a patrol of 50 Japanese scouts just as the latter were approaching the east side of the island in three boats. The Russians allowed the Japanese to land and then fired on them. Nearly all the Japanese were shot, bayoneted or drowned and their boats sunk. The Russians sustained no losses. On the following day the Japanese lowered their flag at Wiju and their outposts fell back. A State Primary Election. Birmingham, Ala., April 12.—The first general primary election ever held in Alabama brought out the largest democratic vote ever polled in the state. As every candidate for every office in the state had to be voted for individually, it probably will be 24 hours before the vote can be counted. Indications are that B. B. Comer will be nominated for president of the railroad commission. The contest between Congressman John H. Bankhead and Capt. Richmond P. Hobson in the Sixth district is so close that the result will depend on a full count. Apported for Step)(ng $5,000 Nevada, Mo., April 12.—Edwin Griffith, son of the postmaster at Great Bend, Kan., has been arrested for stealing a registered package of $5,000 which was sent by the Traders' bank at Kansas City to a bank at Great Bend on February 9. Griffith has confessed. Griffith was an employee of the Great Bend postoffice and had access to registered packages. After taking the $5,000 he fled to El Paso, Texas. He came to Nevada to give part of the money to a woman. The woman turned the money over to the inspector. On the night of April 9 four Russians crossed the Yalu to Yenampo (Yongampho?) and made towards a Russian village where they found a squadron of Japanese cavalry. They remained there 12 hours, when they were betrayed by Koreans and found themselves obliged to swim the river, their boat having struck on a sand bank. One soldier lost his life. The Japanese pursued the Russians in a boat, but were in turn attacked by a Russian boat which had come to the rescue of the swimmers. The Japanese were all killed and their boat sunk. RUSSIAN BATTLESHIP SUNK St. Petersburg, April 14. While going out to meet the Japanese fleet of Port Arthur the battleship Petropavlovsk struck a mine in the outer roadstead, heeled over, turned turtle and sandk. Practically the whole of her crew were lost. Only four officers were saved, among them being the Grand Duke Cyril, the earl's cousin. The Petropavlovsk was flying the flag of Vice Admiral Makaroff, who was drowned. According to later reports, Grand Duke Cyril was more seriously injured than at first believed. He has been removed to a hospital at Port Arthur for treatment. A dispatch from Viceroy Alexieff to the czar says: "According to reports from the commandant of Port Arthur the battleships and cruisers went to meet the enemy, but in consequence of the enemy receiving reinforcements, making his total strength 30 vessels, our squadron returned to the roadstead, whereupon the Petropavlovsk touched a mine, resulting in her destruction. Grand Duke Cyril, who was on board, was saved. The whole squadron then reentered port. The Japanese are now off Cape Liao-Shan." The latest estimate of the number of men who lost their lives is 800 of men who lost their lives is 800. The awful disaster to the battle-ship Petropavlovsk with the loss of almost her entire crew and the death of Vice Admiral Makaroff has been a terrible blow. It would have fallen less heavily if the ship and the commander-in-chief of the fleet had been lost in battle, but to be the result of another accident following upon the heels of a succession of tragedies of which the Port Arthur fleet has been the victim has created something like consternation. It has just become known that the battleship Poltava several weeks ago had a hole rammed in her by the battleship Sevastopol while the latter was maneuvering in the harbor of Port Arthur. Vice Admiral Makaroff's death is really a greater loss than would be that of several battleships. He was the pride of the navy and enjoyed the implicit confidence of his sovereign as well as of the officers and men of the service. Speaking of his death officers here all remarked upon the strange fatality that he should lose his life on a heavily armored battleship, to which he had a particular aversion. London, April 14.—The Daily Telegraph's correspondent at Wei-Hai-Wei, telegraphing under date of April 13, says: "The British cruiser Espiegle reports that at 5:45 o'clock this morning she sighted five Japanese warships engaging the Russian cruiser Bayan, making for Port Arthur from the direction of the Yalu. The Russian cruiser Askold and another cruiser issued from Port Arthur to assist the Bayan. At 6:45 o'clock the Russians got under the shelter of the forts, but the Bayan was evidently damaged, as quantities of steam were seen escaping. "At 8 o'clock the Japanese ships opened a heavy gun fire on the forts, which did not reply, and after 15 minutes bombardment the Japanese retired to the eastward." Claims the Judge Is an Usurper. Claims the Judge Is an Usurper. Jefferson City, Mo., April 13.—Attorney General Crow yesterday began action in the supreme court to oust from office Judge Hugh Dabbs, of the judicial circuit of Jasper county, charging that Judge Dabbs is an usurper. Judge Dabbs was appointed by Gov. Dockery in 1903 to fill a vacancy caused by the death of Dabbs' successful opponent for the office before he could be qualified. Attorney General Crow contends that there was no vacancy and that an election should have been held for a successor, instead of an appointment having been made by the governor. A Short Lived Strike. Chicago, April 13.—A strike of ten minutes' duration occurred at the plant of Swift & Co. here yesterday. Five hundred cattle butchers walked out. Almost at the moment, however, word came from a meeting then in session between the union officials and the employers that a settlement had been reached and the men returned to work. One hundred employees who had been laid off and whom, the union charged, had been picked with reference to their membership in the Butchers' union, were reinstated by the company. SKILLED ORGANIST AT SIX. An English Child Causes Astonishment by Wonderful Musical Ability - She Has a Good Memory. Another musical prodigy has been discovered in London. This time it is Miss Mary Ellen Skinner, a maiden who has reached the mature age of six and who is a remarkable performer on the organ. The child's gift for music has long been manifest in her home, but it was only recently that she played several organ pieces at a concert in connection with the Bentham Street Primitive Methodist church, and so took her first step toward that fame which may one day be hers. She is a pretty little blue-eyed maiden, who, though she is known to be six, looks not more than four. Her shyness disappeared directly it was suggested that she should "play something," and yet there was none of the pert "showing off" that sometimes spoils accomplished children. "It's rather hard work pedaling," she exclaimed, apologetically, but she rejected all offers of assistance, preferring, as she said, to "blow herself." The instrument was one of the American type, and before mounting the organ stool the child's head was little more than level with the keyboard. She played first a well-known bymn tune, and then another, more difficult. Her baby hands are scarcely big enough to stretch an octave, but her touch is remarkable in its delicacy, and though she occasionally struck a wrong note, she detected and corrected it immediately, with a little laugh and the remark, "No, that's wrong." Unlike most prodigies, who have studied or been drilled in the technicalities of the art, little Miss Skinner does not know a note of music. She has, however, a remarkable faculty for remembering a melody she has once heard. After returning from church or concert she can play the hymn tunes or the airs of the songs with surprising accuracy. Murder Record of South Carolina. According to the report of the attorney general of South Carolina to the general assembly of that state, the circuit solicitors have tried since 1888 2,781 cases for murder. During the last five years 938 murder trials have been held and in 492 of these the verdict was "not guilty." The murder record for the state last year was 222, or nearly five a week. Of these 102 were convicted. There is no remedy like Hoxsie's Croup Cure for Coughs, Colds, Whooping Cough and Pneumonia. No opium. No nausea, All druggists, 50 cts.

"PE-RU-NA TONES UP THE SYSTEM IF TAKEN IN THE SPRING." A. B. MISS MARJORY HAMPTON, OF NEW YORK. Miss Marjory Hampton, 2016 Third Avenue, New York City, writes: "Peruna is a fine medicine to take any season of the year. Taken in the spring it tones up the system and acts as a tonic, strengthening me more than a vacation. In the fall and winter I have found that it cures colds and catarrh and also find that it is invaluable to keep the bowels regular, acting as a gentle stimulant on the system. In fact, I consider it a whole medicine chest."—Miss Marjory Hampton. Blood Impurities of Springtime Cause, Prevention and Cure. Dr. Hartman's medical lectures are eagerly scanned by many thousand readers. One of the most timely and interesting lectures he ever delivered was his recent lecture on the blood impurities of spring. The doctors said in substance that every spring the blood is loaded with the effete accumulations of winter, deranging the digestion, producing sluggishness of the liver, overtaxing the kidneys, interfering with the action of the bowels and the proper circulation of the blood. This condition of things produces what is popularly known as spring fever, spring malaria, nervous exhaustion, that tired feeling, blood thickening and many other names. Sometimes the victim is billious, dysentic and constipated; sometimes he is weak, nervous and depressed; and again he may have eruptions, swellings and other blood humors. Whichever it is, the cause is the same—effete accumulations in the blood. Nothing is more certain within the whole range of medical science than that a course of Pernula in early springtime will perfectly and effectually prevent or cure this almost universal affection. Everybody feels it in some degree. A great majority are disturbed considerably, while a large per cent. of the human family are made very miserable by this condition every spring. Peruna will prevent it if taken in time. Peruna will cure it if taken as directed. Peruna is the ideal spring medicine of the medical profession. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.
