Gunshu Pass* April 3.—The
situation here is unchanged.
Gen. Mistchenko has moved for
word into close touch with the
Japanese and keeps up constant
skirmishing. Elsewhere every
thing is quiet.
Native reports, which may be
taken for what they are worth,
state that the Japanese are leav
ing before the Russian front only
a screen capable, with the help
of the Mukden and Tie Pass for
tifications and garrisons, of
holding in check Gen. Linevitch,
and are transferring the bulk of
their five armies to Vladivostock
and by means of a wide move
ment through Mongolia to Tsitsi
har.
Considering the great distance
involved the plan appears too
bold and almost impracticable.
But Japanese intoxication from
continued success, bold initiative
and determined perseverance
must be regarded. The situa
tion affords an opportunity for
Russian cavalry which thus far
has played an insignificant role
to distinguish itself by ascertain
ing the Japanese intentions.
CONVICTED MAN
MAKES ESCAPE.
Hamburg, April 3. — Joe White,
who was tried and convicted at
the January term of the circuit
court for the murder of his wife
at Wilmot and sentenced to hve
years in the penitentiary, has
disappeared to parts unknown.
An appeal was taken to the su
preme court in his case and while
the appeal was pending he was
out on bail. The supreme court
handed down its decision a few
days ago affirming the verdict of
the jury in the circuit court and
before White could be arrested
he made his escape and has not
been captured.

Texarkana, ApNl 3.-Prepara
tions are being make at the Mil

hanging of Ellis Powell, the ne

Powell is the man who murdered

Powell says he is ready and
willing to meet his maker, and
like most red-handed murderers,
professes to believe that the
pearly gates will swing wide as
his spirit approaches.
HELENA NEGROES
FIGHT TROUBLE OUT.
Sam Lane Shot and Instantly
Killed by Norman Lawson—
Woman Mixed Up in the
Affair, of Course.
Helena, April 3.—Sam Lane
was shot and instantly killed
Sunday morning by Norman Law
son. It seems that the men,;
both of whom, are negroes, had
had trouble, Lane charging Law
son with abusing a woman to
whom he was related.
It is stated by some that Lane
was armed with a knife, while
others deny that he had any
weapon. However, it appears
that he made no attack or even j
resistance, but was shot and j
killed by Lawson, who emptied |
the contents of his revolver into,
his victim.
Lawson made no effort to es
cape and was placed under ar
rest. He is now confined in the
county jail.
WATER FOR CHAMPAGNE.
Governor Herrick and party of
Ohioans were made subjects of
a rather risky April fool joke at
Houston, Tex., Saturday, says
the Little Rock Democrat. At a
public reception tendered the
party bottles labeled ‘ ‘cham
pagne" were opened and found
to contain only the commonest
bayou water. The toastmaster
had proposed the health of the
governor “in the finest wine^x-j
tracted from the grape" and the |
governor had responded with the j
assertion that “all would be bet-!
ter off if they drank only such j
wine." The glasses were filledi
and some one called attention to i
the peculiar fact that there was
no sparkle to this wine. Then it
was discovered that a practical
joke had been perpetrated on the i
party. Now the prohibitionists
are saying that Gov. Herrick un- j
wittingly preached a sermon in
favor of prohibition when he as
serted that we should all be bet
ter off if we “drank only such
wine." It is said that it took
several cases of the real stuff to
square the joke.
TO THE INSURING PUBLIC.
For many years this agency
has written unquestioned and un
questionable fire insurance in

exceptions, have been compelled
to withdraw from the state on1
account of the anti-trust law.
However, we now represent 14 j
old line stock companies, with
paid-up cash capital and with in-j
demnifying bonds, (not Fidelity i
bonds, note the difference), and j
are prepared to issue you insur
ance just as reliable as any we|
have here-to-fore written, to the |
limit of the carrying capacity of j
the companies.
We propose, as we have always
done, to see that your losses are
| promptly and fairly adjusted and
can certainly render you better
service than can strangers or
| outsiders.
We write farm property and
risks in adjacent towns, and will
: give prompt attention to all ap
plications.

BAD HEALTH.
Worry, Overwork, Hasty Eating, Ex
cessive Use of Liquors, Loss of
Sleep, Neglect of Nature’s
Calls. These Bring on the
Deadly Bright’s Disease.
Thousands Die of it Every Year.
Kidney disease is the enemy we have
most to fear as a result of the feverish
restlessness of modern civilization. It
is a treacherous enemy, working out its
deadly effect under cover of the most
trifling symptoms. The first indication
of changes in the urine, frequent head
aches, digestive troubles, should be the
signal for prompt remedial measures.
Prickly Ash Bitters is a kidney remedy
of the greatest merit; it is soothing,
healing and strengthening, quickly re
lieves the aching or soreness that always
appears in advanced stages, checks the
progress of the disease and through its
excellent cleansing and regulating effect
in the stomach, liver and bowels, it
brings back the strength and ruddy glow
of vigorous health.
Accept no substitute. Insist on having
the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the
large figure 3 iu red oil the front label.
