Address SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO, Chicago Those Spanish anarchists shoot like a woman operates a garden hose Under the caption, "The Union Pacific Railroad and Louisiana Territory," the new World's Fair folder is sued by the advertising department of the Union Pacific, which has attracts such general attention, recites those interesting facts: "While the construction of the Union Pacific Railroad, its trials and triumphs, are a part of the history of the United States, the important part of the development of the Louisiana Purchase can hardly be estimated. In the building up of this vast domain it has been one of the chief factors. One hundred years ago the population of Louisiana was estimated at 20,000. Up to the inception of the Union Pacific (in 1800) it had increased to 3,233,529. In 1500 it numbered over 13,000,000 of inhabitants. The population increased in all the many-sided phases of commercial, material and intellectual prosperity, the Union Pacific—as a glance at the map will show—has had a conspicuous sort of country to settlers, and brought great areas of an unknown and unproductive wilderness into close communion with metropolitan centers and markets. Thriving cities, towns, and hamlets have grown, towns have sprung up in every direction. It may be of interest to know that the total number of manufacturing plants, and the value of their outputs, is about 1,000,000,000 products as reported in the census of 1900, give an aggregate production for the Louisiana region of $3,560,000,000 annually, or 282 times the original purported figure (1900) also show the total population to be 13,243,255, of which 8,302,966 inhabitants are living in the states and the specific. On the 1900 census figures, it is estimated that the true wealth of the Louisiana purchase can be stated at about $1,051,868,359, of which $9,360,000 is owned by the states reached by this great railroad. The lightest remark will sometimes carry the most weight. How's This? We offer one Hundred Dollars Reward for any person who can furnish us with a copy of the Gatari Cure. F. J. CHENYK AO. Co.

In view of the fact that the "Pilgrim's Progress" is about to be dramatized, the critics are sharpening up their pencils and a few of them are reading the book. The thoughtful Cincinnati Enquirer says "a game of baseball is not in the nature of things a religious festival." Every office boy knows it is often in the nature of a funeral. Perhaps the English educator who talked about the "feminized" American youth saw some of those queer things in buggy trousers, dinky coats and caps like clam shells. The members of the W. C. T.

STORM FORTIFIED POSITION Sustain Loss of 12,000 Men in Desperate Assault—Japanese Now Reported to Be Within Twelve Miles of Port Arthur. London, May 28.—A dispatch to the Central News from Harbin says the Japanese losses during the fighting at Kin Chou are said to be twelve thousand and men killed. It is said that these figures have been confirmed by an official dispatch. Fighting, it is added, is still going on in the vicinity of Kin Chou. London, May 28.—The Tokio correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says he learns that the Japanese troops are unable to reach the Russian front and that the Russians suffered heavier casualties than the Japanese, who have taken guns and other materiel. He also learns that there is a further surprise, as Japan is now increasing her efforts in all directions. The Tokio correspondent of the Dai Nam museum, who captured many guns at Kin Chou. Berlin, May 28.—The Tokio correspondent of the Tagebilt sends the following under date of May 27: "It is generally believed here that General Rogi (Oku) succeeded the May 19th attack on the fourth Russian sharkshooters division under Major Fock, having taken the heights between Port Arthur and Kin Chou on May 24 and 25 and that the capitulation of this body is expected. The fight was most bitter and theoses were slaves, aides, and theoses were severs." The Tagebilt's military critic suggests that Lieutenant General Stosel-sel succeeded by a rapid march in freeing General Fock's (troops from) the Chicago. May 28—A special to the Daily News from the Cao Foo says: Japan announces that he can intervene and punish insullying south of a line between Pitsewon on the east and Pulantien on the west, is in a state of effective blockade by the Japanese navy. The declaration states that the blockade will be main- The Japanese government has evidently refrained from declaring the peninsula in a state of blockade until now because it is held in international law that a blockade by land as well as by sea. The United States has always maintained that a proclamation or ideal blockade of an extensive coast not supported by the "presence of a naval power competed to enforce its simultaneous action" point of such coast, is illegal throughout its whole extent, even for ports which may be in actual blockade. The "governmental" blockade proclamation by Japan, throws the burden of proof on vessels attempting to enter the Sea. May 28.—The Japanese army swept the Russians from Kin-Chou Thursday evening and in a desperate night attack stormed the almost impregnable position of the Russians in the Sea. May 28. The battle raged in the hills and all through the night and fragmentary telegrams from the Japanese headquarters report that the engagement is still in progress and that the Russians south from Nan-Shan and the head of Tallen Wan bay. The Russians had made elaborate preparations to check the Japanese movement south on the Liao-Tung island and had fortified the heights on the south shore of Talien-Wan bay, their work extending to the east and the west. The extreme Russian right was at Hushangto and the extreme left at Nakamoto, the strongest part of the line. A series of batteries, strongly emplaced, crowned its crest, while rifle pits exended around its sides. The enemy had lower down on this hill and around the base on the northern and eastern sides were stretched well-made entanglements. Another line of defenses, also protected by entanglements, extended from Yen-Chi-ten to the head of Talien bay, due north of the head of Chia-Ten, which lies south of Kin Chou. A strong Russian force was posted at Kin-Chou. It consisted of infantry and artillery. The Japanese first occupied the line of hills to the east of Kin-Chou. Their position formed an almost perfect right angle, showing its seabermarking. The Japanese first occupied Kin-Chou. Chou-Li-Chan village was the apex of this angle; the extreme sides of the Japanese rested at Chen She-Ten, which is almost due north of Chu-Chou. The right was at Chaltizum, a village due east of Chu-Chu-Li-Chan. Back of this angle the attacking force assembled in complete security. The Russians apparently attempted to attack the attack but attack last Sat urday for their batteries opened fire slowly on the enemy on next day. The Japanese, however, refused, to be drawn into the position of the Russians, their guns and strength had been reduced. The Japanese began a series of careful reconnaisances, their officers working their way close enough to the Russian position, to draw the enemy's. They thus secured fragments of shells from the enemy, forcing the caliber of the Russian guns. They discovered that the batteries on Nan-Shan hill included four Howitzers of about fifteen centimetres caliber and nine and fifteen centimetres caliber and two quick-firing guns of twelve centimetres. The Japanese discovered also a number of large emplacements and fifteen hundred number of guns contained therein. The emplacements faced to the north and to the east. The guns fired by the Russians developed a range of 8,500 meters. Eight Russian guns were right in the vicinity of Hushangtao also were discovered and another strong Russian position developed by these reconnaissance was another hill southwest of Nan-Shan hh., where the Russian had series of shelter trenches. On the shore of Tailen-Wan bay, cliffs and established a series of cliffs and established a series of MATTHEW J. QUAY sitions. Here were set up the searchlights which nightly played over the Japanese angle in the hills to the northwest. Further reconnaissance developed the fact that at Liu-Chi Tung the Russians had no defenses. Extending to the northward from the Liao-Chi Tung peninsula, there were no defenses whatever, except the force posted at Kin-Chou. This gap in the defense was a fatal defect in the Russian position. The Russians extended their right to the north and east, enveloping Kin-Chou and the Russian extreme right. The Japanese left also extended to Wang-Chia-Tung, on the shore of Tallen bay, and the center moved for Wednesday morning at half-past five the Japanese attacked Kin-Chou and for three hours they had an artillery duel with the batteries on Nan-Chou, and the Japanese searched the Japanese lines with their fire, but failed to inflict much damage. The battle was resumed at dawn on Thursday. Three Japanese gunboats then entered Kin-Chou bay and attacked the shore, shelled the Russian positions on Nan-Shan hill. A Russian gunboat in Talien-Wan bay steamed close to the shore and shelled the Japanese left. The Japanese left on both sides hammered away at each other. At an early hour the Japanese infantry moved forward and at twenty minutes past five on Thursday morning they entered Kin-Chou, the Russians retiring, and the Japanese continued into Thursday night, the Japanese pressing to the south and storming Nan-Shan hill. They followed the retreating Russians through 12.5 southern h. is. The report suggests there fail to coerce the events on the Russian right. It is probable, however, that the Russians have abandoned these positions. No information is given concern- nial. They probably were heavy on both sides. The Russian resistance at Nan-Shan was stubborn. The Japanese made a series of assaults before the Russians finally yielded their position. The Russians abandoned this hill. 3 o'clock the afternoon the crew reached Nan-Qwang-Ling, where it is understood, a second line of defenses exist. The Russians may rally at this line of defenses unless they have been disordered by the defeat at Kin-Chou and Nan-Shan. The Russians had a series of m.mes on the railroad, which were exploded. The station was destroyed. The Japanese forces were under fire for sixteen hours. The general staff here has received telegrams from the commanders commending bravery and fortitude of their men. The following report has been received from Vice-Admir Togo: "The gunboats Thukhik, Heiyan, Amagi and Chokal and the first armor in the Northern Niyama, reached Kin-Chou bay on the evening of Wednesday. From dawn of Thursday the vessels co-operated with the army in bombarding Suchaton. The Amagi and the Lokokai went into battle in the morning of 11 o'clock in the morning the enemy retreated from Suchaton, but they continued to fire from a position behind Suchaton. Our curtains were ten, including Carita hawashi, of the Chokal, who was killed." TRY AGAIN TO CORK HARBOR. Japanese are Said to Have Sustained Heavy Losses. Mukden, June 1—The Japan on the night of May 28 made another attempt to block Port Arthur by sinking merchant vessels in the harbor entrance. The attempt was discovered through the operations of a searchlight and one Japanese gun and two torpedo boat destroyers were killed. The merchant men then retired. Tokio, June 1—It is said that four gunboats, two destroyers and two torpedo boats sent to Port Aransas, were attacked by Vice Admiral Togo effected a careful reconnaissance, facing a heavy fire from the land batteries. They discovered a new Russian light-search station and one new mortars on the ship. Ten Shan promontory. Number 3 gunboat was struck by a shell which killed one petty officer, injured three men and damaged one of her crew. The boats escaped without any damage. JAPANESE OCCUPY DALNY. Washington, June 1—The Japanese legation has given out the following dispatches from the governor's office to embodying reply from General Oku, as follows: General Oku, commanding the army operating against Port Arthur, reports that our troops occupied Dalyon on May 30. Over 100 warehouses were filled with the graph office and railway station, were found uninjured. Over 200 railway cars are useable but all small railway bridges in the neighborhood are destroyed. All dock plers except the great pler which was sunk remain uninjured. Some dock plers launches also found at the mouth of the dock. Senior Senator From Pennsylvania Passes Away. Beaver, Pa. May 30—Colonel Matthew Stanley Quay, senior senator from Pennsylvania, slept peacefully into death at 2:45 Saturday afternoon after an illness which had been more or less persistent for the last year, which took a turn for the worse ten days ago, and which the doctors diagnosed as chronic gastritis. Senator Quay's illness began about a year ago. It was a recurrence of the trouble that beset him during the latter part of 1900, and the early days of 1901, when he was undergoing the strain of a desperate fight for re-election to the senate. For a time he seemed improved and he got his time to outdoor exercises. Never a strong man physically. Senator Quay prided himself on his endurance and believed firmly that outdoor life would restore him to health and give him years longer lease of life. It was his thought that took him to the blah woods for several successful summers. Colonel Quay, in health, was a great eater and his troubles of later years came from overdraughts on his vital system due to heavy eating, smoking and the great nervous strains which he underwent. When he was in college, Maitrei complained of weakness and continued loss of strength. The malady which brought him to his bed and death was then taking firm hold. His stomach refused to assimilate the food it got and weakness followed. Matthew S. Quay was born in Dillsburg, York county, Pennsylvania. September 10, 1833. He graduated from Jefferson college in 1850 and was admitted to the bar in 1858. He served through the civil war as a lieutenant in the Tenth Pennsylvania reserves and as colonel of the One Hundred and Twenty-third Pennsylvania volunteers, receiving the congressional medal of honor. After serving in various minor political offices in Pennsylvania, he was elected state treasurer in 1885. Since the same year, he has been a member of the republican national committee serving as its chairman during the successful presidential campaign. He was served as United States senator from Pennsylvania from 1897 to 1899. Senator Quay was tried for misappropriation of the public funds and was acquitted on April 21, 1899. On the same day he was appointed United States senator ad interim by Governor Stone, and in January of 1899 he was elected to the United States Senate to fill the vacancy caused by the failure of the legislature to elect in January, 1899. His term would have expired in 1905. PORT ARTHUR THE OBJECTIVE Japanese Endeavor to Distract Kuro natsin's Attention. St. Petersburg, May 31—According to information received by the Associated Press from a high source, important news regarding the Japanese plan of campaign which has reached the authorities since the battle of Kiri Chou, compels the conviction that the advance of General Kuroki and the activity of his scouts northwest and south of Feng Wang Cheng are parts of a well executed feint to prey on Japanese forces. The strong force to hamper General Oku's operations on the Liao Tung peninsula. Under cover of General Kuroki's screens, it is added, part of the Japanese army landed at Taku Shan will be moved southward into the peninsula. while Kuroki attempt to make Kuropatkin believe that he intends to a decisive engagement with him. This information would tend to prove that the primary object of the Japanese campaign all along has been Port Arthur, and once that fortress is in their hands, unless an exceedingly favorable opportunity offers to attack Kuropatinka, the Japanese city, they would secure and to force the Russian commander to assume the offensive Moreover, there is information to the effect that the Japanese propose to storm Port Arthur with the briefest possible delay, after having first blocked the harbor to render the egress of the Russian ships impossible at last moment, thus forcing the Rusian forces to rejoice in rejecting the Japanese to the inevitable losses which must occur if the Russian squadron gets out for a last fight' before going to the bottom. The repeated efforts of the Japan ee to "cork" the harbor have been as much with the view to this ultimate situation as for protecting landings. Warships at the Azores.

The recent tornadoes and severe windstorms in Iowa have reminded the people that it is prudent to take out tornado insurance. The company that is doing by far the largest business in that line is the Association of this city. This is a remarkably successful association, having been in operation over twenty years, has over 77,000 members, over $105,000 in risks and has on one hand on the ground. The association paid $24,000 in losses during 1902 and 1903 without one cent of litigation, and with a promptness not excelled by any other company on earth. This association co-owns with the state and is represented by the same agents. J. B. Herriman, who has been secretary from the organization of the company, reports that he is doing a very large business and two hundred fifty applications a day. In fact the business for one day amounted to one-third of a million dollars in risks. The association is so large and they are increasing so fast that advertising any more, as the association is getting all the business they care for. Deputy State Labor Commissioner Arthur E. Holder is in Washington in conference with the heads of the census bureau relative to the census of manufactures which will be taken next year by the government. The state labor bureau will be enlisted. The government will furnish the agents to take the census; they will be managed by State Labor Commissioner E. D. Brigham. This is in accordance with the last general assembly on motion of Representative Buchan of Wapello county. The resolution authorized the state department to act for the government in the taking of the census. Already the department is used in the work of next year have been examined by Commissioner Brigham and he has made some suggestions of value to the department. Mr. Holder in person will also convey to the department the suggestions as to the information which will be of the most value to the west, understanding perfectly the wishes of the commissioner in the matter. John L. Kamarr of Webster City has filed with the governor applications for the surrender and sale of two lakes in Hamilton county.

Polk county's criminal record has been broken to smithereens. During the past five months more people have been sent to the penitentiary from the county courts than during any twelve previous months. Since January forty-nine have been sent to the county courts. This includes not include jail sentences or criminal fines. The cause for the increase is a matter of considerable speculation. Some contend it is due to an increase in population in Des Moines; others have been more active, and others maintain it is an increase in crime. The Rock Island has not given up hopes of securing the Des Moines & Fort Dodge railway, despite the Hooley interests were in absolute control of the stockholders' annual meeting in this city, when the three remaining Rock Island representatives on the board of directors were ousted. The fact that the Rock Island has cared for the stockholders to play to was shown by the fact that Carroll Wright did not vote a single proxy of their stock, allowing Norbert Heinsheimer to dominate the brief meeting. The lease of the Rock Island on the line does not expire until January 1, and while officials here who represent the Rock island refuse to be quoted, they intimated something would be done prior to the time. It is of great importance to the Rock Island, one of the principal things being the control of the double track system between Des Moines and Valley Junction. The state board of health has reduced the length of quarantine in diphtheria cases to seven days when toxinix is used in the treatment of the patients. Otherwise it remains at thirty-five days. By resolution the board has ordered the investigations on the subject of quarantine in diphtheria cases to conform to the foregoing statement. This resolution has been adopted: "That in cases where a member or member of the family is immunized with diphtheria are treated with antitoxin, and each and every other member of the same, family is immunized with antitoxin, the quarantine may be raised in seven days, it being understood that it does not apply to cases that are not treated with antitoxin."

Russian Officials Reluctant to Accept Dispatches — Do Not Consider It Possible That Reported Engagement Can Mean Serious Reverses Tokio, May 31—A detachment of Japanese troops attacked and defeated 2,000 Cosacks at Al Yang Pien Men, northeast of Feng Wang Cheng, Saturday. The engagement began at 10:30 and ended at 11:40 a.m. The Japanese lost four men killed and twenty-eight wounded. The Russian casualties are not known. St. Petersburg, May 31.—The report defeated of Cossacks at Al Ai Yang Plen Men was the only news and almost the only topic of conversation in St. Petersburg last night. No official dispatches were given out last evening, but officers at military headquarters were reluctant to comment. They think it posed owe that the Japanese met General Mistchenko's command, which has recently been raiding in Korea. It is formed of comparatively raw recruits, though now somewhat hardened by three months' campaigning. It is the result of the war that has been defeated, but not Rennenkampf's force patrolling the Al Ai Yang region, who are veterans of that old command which accompanied him on the famous ride through Manchuria. These men are esteemed here as the hardest riders and the most reckless fighters in the war, and it is easier to them would have a greater sentimental effect than the more serious reverse at Kln Chou. RUSSIA NAMES TERMS. Offers a Proposal for Final Evacuat ion of Manchuria. London, May 31.—The Tien Tsin correspondent of the Daily Express says that Paul Lessar, the Russian minister, informed Prince Ching that Russia will finally evacuate Nüchwang provided China grants a concession for a railway from Kalgan across Chinese Mongolia to Kla Khta, eighty miles from Lake Baikal, or that Russia will evacuate Manchuria if China leases the ill territory to Russia. Ill, or, as it is more commonly called, Koolidja, is a district of Chinese Tibetanistan, a part of Sungaji, Russia, and it provides province from 1870 to 1871, and still retains a portion of the territory. The district contains 23,000 square miles. London, May 31.—The Times' correspondent at Wet Hat Wel learns from a fugitive Russian that General Stosseel's orders are to dispute every inch of the country between Port Arthur and Stosseel, who believed that the main advance on Mukden can be delayed until Port Arthur falls. Every day is important to Kuropatkin. Stosseel, upon receiving these orders, hurriedly prepared a succession of positions. A Japanese refugee from Port Arthur, a Foo chartering steemers to convey supplies to Port Arthur when it falls. The Coo, May 31.—Dalny has been practically evacuated, according to the statements of Sikh and Russian refugees arriving here today by junk. All valuables, ammunition and most of the weapons of the enemy, were Arthur. The only civilians remaining are the electrical engineers in charge of the mines laid in the harbor, and also those set to destroy docks and piers. One large Russian warship, probably the armored cruisers, was sent to reach the Talien Wan bay on Tuesday last, the 24th inst., from Port Arthur, and it was doubtless this vessel which attacked the Japanese left wing during the battle at Kin Chou on May 28. The junks which just arrived here on their way down, passed fourteen Japanese ships, and then the mines of Dalny, so that the Bayan will likely be captured. Tokio, May 31.—The Japanese casualties at Nan Shan are now estimated at 2,500. The number of Russian guns captured exceed seventy. Vera Samble, the 4-year-old daughter of F. L.

Gallant Feat of Russian Cornet Made Him Hero of Fight — Squadron of Mikado's Cavalry Was Annihilated By Desperate Charge of Cossacks Liao Yang, June 2.—The Japanese lost 200 killed and a number of horses in the fight at Vafangong on Monday. The Russians opened fire at 8 o'clock in the morning and after two hours and a half long range firing the Japanese, under General Akkiama, prepared to charge and crush the force which had been harassing them for twenty-one days. In the meantime General Samsonoff was approaching Vafangong with a strong force of cavalry. It was a sight worth seeing, when at the word of command the Russian squadrons formed and rushed like whirlwind across the terribly cut stables, the batteries at the same time trotting along the frightful roads. Having crossed the railroad station the troops came under the fire of the Japanese machine guns, but withdrew without suffering much loss. The fourth and six companies were heavily charged the Japanese cavalry with lances, attacking both flanks. In a few minutes they literally cut the whole squadron into pieces. This was the first time lances were used and they struck terror into the enemy. In some cases the lances were thrown through the thickened their horses. Some of the lances could not be withdrawn from the bodies into which they had entered. Then the Japanese infantry, numbering 300 men to a company, and eight squadrons of cavalry, attempted to advance, but the Russian batteries opened fire, and soon the slope upward was covered with black spots and the enemy were forced to scatter and retire. Some of the Japanese cavalry were wonderfully dashing, charging with shouts upon the Russians, who met and scattered them. The scrabbed who had just his lance and escaped, and attacked as a sword from a Japanese officer and cut off the officer's head. Kai Chou, Lia Tung Peninsula, June 2—A Russian who was wounded in the fight near the station at Vavangwon, soff attacked the Japanese near the railroad, a mile from Vafangwon station. A cornet of the frontier guards was the hero of the fight. His sergeant was lying wounded and a Japanese soldier was killed him, when the cornet unhorsed the Japanese, mounted the latter's horse and placed the wounded man on his own charger. The Japanese cavalry engaged was the Thirteenth regiment. Their horses were splendid animals. St. Petersburg, June 2—General Sakharov has telegraphed as follows under yesterday's date to the general staff: "According to reports, the Japanese commander in the action of May 30, near Vafignow had three battles waged against him in reserve. Our losses were wounded, killed and twenty-three wounded, and Lieutenant Meyer and another officer, whose name has not been ascertained, were wounded. The Japanese losses were very considerable. One squadron of the Thirteenth Japanese cavalry was annihilated in a hand to hand encounter, and is assistance suffered great loss from the fire of our frontier guards and riflemen. We captured nineteen horses." TO MEET DEMANDS. Chadwick Hopes to Secure Release of Pericaris. Washington, June 1.—This cabelgram has been received at the navy department from Rear Admiral Chadwick, commanding the South Atlantic Squadron at Tangier: "The seizure of the American citizen was by insurgent children of the civilian child of Morocco to secure the demands of the tribe. Our sense of the gravity of the case is shown by the presence of the American squadron and will undoubtedly cause the earlier yielding by the sultan of Morocco to the demands of the chief, which is the only safe means of releasing captives; the highest authority for the statement that an attack on Tangier or an expedition against the brigands will be followed by the immediate murder of the captives. At the instance of Secretary Hay, no instructions will be sent Rear Admiral Chadwick for the present, pending the result of the representations of the French government requesting the exercise of its good offices in obtaining the release of the captives.

RUSSIANS PLAN DIVERSION Reinforcements Dispatched to Port Arthur—Intention is to Engage in the Rear Japanese Now Attacking Gibraltar of the East. Vanzalen, Manchuria, June 3.—The Japanese are landing another army of 50,000 men at Tekushan, it is reported. Japanese posts were withdrawn Wednesday from positions near Vafangow, destroying the bridges as they retired. They were busy during the night removing the wounded in the battlefield and burying the dead. The Coo, June 3.—The Japanese have landed another lot of troops about twenty miles southwest of Takushan. A Chinese junk arriving from there says that seventy transports have discharged troops there, and some old ships had been reinforced shore. Reinforcements for the Japanese army which is attacking Port Arthur have been landed northeast of Tallen Wan. Their number is unknown. London, June 3.—Telegraphs from different points seem to confirm rumors that General Kuropatkin is attempting a diversion in the direction of Port Arthur. Russian reinforcements, according to a dispatch from Tien Tain, are moving southward from Kaliping towards Wafangtien under General Stalkenberg. They comprise a battery of artillery. four Siberian regiments and a company of Cossacks, aggregating 12,000 men. Another brigade is following, the inception being to engage the Japanese, now attacking Port Arthur, in their rear. The Standard's correspondent at Tien Tain, sending the same news, says: "The Russian force in the engagement at Wafangtien on May 30, is supposed to have been formed of four Silberan regiments, which were reported to have left Tachiachoa on May 28, being the first portion of a relieving column for Port Arthur. Already in April, the north of Wafangtien, but is destroyed from there to Pulantien. The Japanese are unconcerned over this demonstration, being convinced that it will be impracticable for the Russians to move a sufficient force to prove effective. These reports are received with a certain measure of skepticism in the diplomatic circles if General Kurpatinia is undertaking such a desperate move, he can only be doing so in deference to the strongest political pressure and against his own better judgment. No further news has been received about the movements of the Japanese forces. Generals Kuroki and Oku are working in secrecy. The Daily Telegraph's well informed correspondent estimates the total defending force in Port Arthur at 30,000. "This is a most formidable army," he srys, "and while it will be a marvelous achievement to carry by assault such a place, with more than a mile of distance for it, posed at a distance of fifteen miles from the harbor, the destruction of the place can undoubtedly be accomplished." According to the Chronicle's Tokio correspondent, the Russians have been able to plant Yang, and are planting mats at a distance of 5,000 feet around them. DELEGATES ARE RELEASED. Lowden Gets Many Yates Votes, But Not Enough. Springfield, Ill., June 3.—Although all delegates were released from instructions yesterday, a desperate effort on the part of republican leaders to break the deadlock in the state convention failed, and at 8 o'clock in the afternoon during the day, the assamblement took a recess without having nominated a candidate for governor. The attempt to bring about the break was a spectacular one. Walter Reeves, chairman of the committee on resolutions, and Chairman Cannon engineered the plan, which was based on the suggestion to comp the committee on resolutions. The committee presented a resolution which it originated and which was referred to the committee at Wednesday's session. This resolution was to the effect that the delegates be released from instructions, and when it was presented, Mr. Reeves called on the delegates to comply before the convention and express their opinion regarding it. Each declared in favor of the resolutions, speaking in the order named: Frank O. Lowden, Governor Richard T. Yates, Charles S. Deneen, Attorney General Howland J. Hammill, Lawyer James W. Warren, and John H. Pierce. Then Mr. Reeves yielded a portion of his time to John W. Parker, author of the resolution, who urged its adoption in letter and in spirit as well. Congressman Cannon then demanded the attention of the convention and placed with the delegates to break the deadlock. He declared that the delegates must, compromise, and called attention to the fact that the convention by its inaction was injuring the republican party, not only in Illinois, but in the entire nation. He said, "and then nominate a ticket, and let's do it today." There was not a vote against the resolution, but when the roll was called on the 67th ballot there was no substantial change from the ballots of the previous day. For several ballots his vote increased. Upon his vote the 73rd ballot. Then the tilted and on the closing ballot, the 78th, Lowen's vote had dropped to 532. It requires 752 to nominate.

Catarrh of the Stomach is Generally Called Dnepsyma—Something to Produce Artificial Digestion is Generally Taken. Hence, Pepsin, Pancreatin and a Host of Other Digestive Remedies Has Been Invented. These Remedies Do Not Reach the Seat of the Difficulty, Which is Really Catarrh. E. U. S. Senator Mr C. Butler from South Carolina, was Senator from that State for two terms. In a recent letter to The Perua Medicine Co., from Washington, D. C., says: "I can recommend Peruna for dyspepsia and stomach trouble. I have been using your medicine for a short period and it has been well followed. It is indeed a wonderful medicine besides a good tonic." - M. C. Butler. The only rational way to cure dypsepsia is to remove the catarrh. Peruna cures catarrh. Peruna does not produce an infection and leaves the stomach to perform digestion in a natural way. This is vastly better and safer than resorting to artificial methods or narcotics. Peruna has cured more cases of dypsepsia than any other remedies combined, simply because it cures catarrh wherever located. If catarrh is located in the head, Peruna cures it. If catarrh has fastened itself in the throat or other organs, the catarrh becomes settled in the stomach, Peruna cures it, as well in this location as in any other. Peruna is not simply a remedy for dypsepsia but a cure for catarrh cured. Peruna cures dypsepsia because it is generally dependent upon catarrh. COVERS THE BALD SPOT OLDNESS CURED AT LAST.

Jones, a well known and highly a respected Printer, writes as follows, of the celebrated Dr. of optics of Des Moines, Iowa, Dr. Lew Arntz. About four months ago I was taken sick with a severe headache and dizziness, also a falling of vision, and it seemed as though I would have to quit my occupation as a printer. I could get no relief from doctors; medicine did me no good. I finally went to Dr. Lew Arntz, who had some time ago cured my wife of almost total blindness, to have him examine my eyes. He informed me that the seat of trouble came from my eyes, and same could be corrected by wearing properly ground glasses. Dr. Arntz ordered special ground glasses for me, which I have worn for about three months, and which have restored my sight, and reduced the headache so I suffer very little more with it. I think people who suffer with falling vision, headache and dizziness should call upon Dr. Lew Arntz for examination. He is certainly a doctor worthy of commendation. A WONDERFUL INVENTION.

Did you ever heat of any other machine with such a record? Note a few of the many superior points of the Wheeler & Wilson No.9 Sewing Machine The Rotary Hook displaces the old, out-of-date, unmechanical and trouble-some shuttle. The Frictionless ball bearings and perfect mechanical construction enable it to be operated with one third less exertion than is required by ordinary machines. It sews three yards of goods while a shuttle machine sews two. It makes the most elastic and most perfect stitch whether sewing light or heavy goods. With our superior attachments the greatest variety of work is possible. Do not make the mistake of buying a sewing machine until you have given the Wheeler & Wilson No. 9 a trial.

South American Countries Have Prim- al Alliances-British Customs Havana's cemetery is typical of the laying places of all Spanish-American countries. It consists of a wall eight to ten feet thick, honeycombed with niches for the reception of coffins, and surrounding a plot of land which is never used for burial purposes and is usually in a neglected condition. The cemetery is run by the municipal authorities and the niches upon the sealing of one of these holes in the wall insures an undisturbed resting place for its contents for three or five years from that time, according to the particular custom of the locality. Then an annual rental must be paid for a period of twenty-five years, at the end of which time the tenant gets a title in perpetuity. But the owner never finds a new place in one of these niches is shown by the fact that, despite the tremendous increase in population since it was built two or three centuries ago, the cemetery has never been enlarged and there are always plenty of vacancies. Upon default of payment of the rental the bones are raked out of the niche and it is ready for the next occupant. The bones are placed in one corner of the cemetery and the rest is undisturbed through the passing of years as the pile constantly grows larger. JUDGED BY HER COOKING. Russian Pecasant Brides Must Be President In the Culinary Art Among the Russian peasants a bride's character is judged by the dinner she cooks on her wedding day. When she arrives at her husband's house she has to prepare a meal with her own hands as a test of housekeeping capabilities. If she succeeds in gratifying her guests, it is taken as a proof not only of the young woman's own excellence, but also as a recommendation of her whole family, by whom she was instructed in the culinary art. Speaking of marriages, too, a larger percentage of males marry under the age of 21 in Russia than in any other European country. Thomas Carlyle's Rebuke. Thomas Carlyle once took Richard Monckton Milnes to task for not securing government aid for Tennison. "Richard Milnes," said Carlyle, slowly, withdrawing his pipe from his mouth, "when are you going to get that pension for Alfred Tennison?" Milnes replied that it was not an easy matter. His constituents, he said, probably knew nothing of Tennison or his poetry, and might think it a piece of jobbory from which some relative of Milnes was to benefit. "Richard Milnes," replied Carlyle, "on the day of judgment when the Lord asks you why you didn't get that pension for Alfred Tennison it will not to lay the blame on your constituents; it is you that will be damned." On the Heights So high above the other things We boastfully "the mountain" named Its streams poured down to feed our mills; Joyous its top when sunlight flamed it. "Twa'w there was signed morn's first day." There tell the farewell kiss of day. And now, far up the mountain side. By winding paths the miller's daughter And had climbed where rocks defiled And had walked through damp water. We neared to the mountain dawn. Enchanted with the widening view. Said she: "How near to heaven we seem?" And on the mountain top we rested. "Yes; nearer, during, than we deem." And on my breast her fair head nested. For naught is nearer heaven than love. -George Birdseye, in Boston Transcript. Nervousness in Animals Cases of death of animals from "nervous upset" are not uncommon, and are found among very different classes of mammals. Last year a couple of otters were caught apparently quite uninjured, on the River Embankment, and by train, each in a couple of boats. Both are dazed after their arrival at their destination. A female elephant at the London Zoo died from the effects of a thunder storm. Some of the larger apes are said to be so affected by capture that they always die within a few days, the system being so upset that they cannot eat. That is why we see only young specimens brought to Europe. He Would Have to Swim. A carpenter in a Scotch village, to oblige the local undertaker, who was ill, went to screw down a coffin lined. The sick man's wife gave him full and particular instructions respecting the task. "Weel," she asked when he returned, "hoo did ye get on?" "Fine," was the reply. "But there was hauf a sovereign in the corpse's hand. What was that for?" "Oh," said the lady, "that's a custom folks hake. He was given to get that the ferryman who rows him o'er the death." "Do ye tell me that? it's a queer warl. But I'm sayin', missus." "Yes?" "I'm feared yon chap will have to swim." Irregularity in the Punishment Iregularity in the Punishment. There are two boys who manage to be rather uninterested in school, and their one day that she ordered them to remain after hours and write their names 1,000 times. She watched their plunge into the task. Some fifteen minutes later one of them grew uneasy and began watching his companion in disgrace. Suddenly the first one burst out with a roar of despair, and between his jobs, said to the teacher: "Tain't a fair mum! His name's Bush and mine's Schluttermeier!"
