more than a month. Nothing unlucky in that 13. l was down
to 1913 and fading away. Chronic dyspepsia. 1 had it for
nearly eight years. Nothing agreed with me. I've paid out at
least $3.50 to frstclass doctors in Indianapolis, but got no re-

that dyspepsia can be relieved or cured by exercise, walking
and that sort of thing.
"My business as night Waterman is all exercise. 1 go on
duty at the New York Store at 6 p. m. and off at 6 6. m. That's
twelve hours. Walk, walk, walk. There's miles of it over the
six stories of this immense store. But it didn't faze' my dys-
pepsia. 1 ached in every bone in my body, and my circulation
was so bad that even in warm weather L had to sleep in blank

me a box of Lyons Seven Wonders. On first taking it L was
made sick, but 1 persevered. 1 have now taken a box and a

STORY OF THE NAVAL FIGHT
Detailed Account of the Great
Battle in the Bay of COrea.
None of the japanese Ships Lost-Copy
of the Order Relating to the Degra-
dation of LII Hung Chang.

LONDON, Oct. pa dispatch received
here from Shanghai to-day says that, ac-
cording to Chinese advices, a severe battle
has been fought on the lower portion of
the Yalu river. The Japanese are said to
have crossed the river and to have at
tackled the Chinese. but 1t is reported that
after fierce fighting the Japanese were re-
pulsed. Both sides are said to have lost
heavily. The Chinese do not claim a con-
elusive victory, but they declare that they
still maintain their position. No confrma-
ton OF the dispatch is ~obtainable, but ii is
thought probable that fighting has actually
occurred.
Four vessels OF the Chinese southern
squadron have arrived at Wei Hal Wei.
The Chinese steamer Tung Chow, which
has arrived here, reports that two Chinese
ironclads and one Chinese cruiser which
have been under repair at Port Arthur have
left that place and reached Wei Hat Wei.
1t is added that the other Chinese war ships
will require more extensive repairs, and
consequently their departure from Port
Arthur may be delayed for some time
longer.
Later 1t was reported that the Chinese
war ships which reached Wei Hal Wei from
Port Arthur were the T~ing-Yuen and the
Chen-Yuen, and 1t Is said that they fired
on the four vessels of the Chinese southern
squadron while the latter were approaching
Wei Hal Wei, installing them for japanese
ships. The Chinese transports from Taku
and elsewhere to Port Arthur have thus far
met with no opposition while passing to and
from the latter place.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
DUBLIN, Ind, Oct. 20.-Bishop Floyd, of
Dublin, has just returned from Canada,
where he was summoned TO appear as a
witness in the High Court of the Queens
Bench at Toronto in the church trial Of the
United Brethren in Christ. The case was
decided by Justice Strete in favor of the
radicals. He held thai the Confession Of
Faith was the bond of union. and that the
action of the General Conference could not
bind the members of the church to the
revised" or amended confession because
the old was guarded from change by a
clause in the constitution which forbade any
change of the creed. He held that the Con-
fession of Faith could not be changed until
the prohibition of the constitution was first
removed by proper enactment, and then
only by the method prescribed in the new
were the United Brethren in Christ because
they had maintained the bond of union in
violate under the constitution of the church.
The case was dismissed and judgment for
costs entered against the liberals.

Eleanor Pettijohn, who, on Friday. cele-
brated her ninety-third year at the home Of
her SON, r. L. Wilson. Growing old grace
fully" is strongly evidenced in this case.
Added to this is a continued desire to keep
abreast of the times, and with a retentive
memory she impresseS all as a delightful
companion. Her life, too, has been far from
uneventful. She saw her husband vote the
liberty ticket" in Ohio, where it was
quite unpopular to be an Abolitionist. Later,
when their home was a station OF the
underground railroad" by her unusual
tact she freed her husband from an in
furiated mob that was preparing to give
him five hundred lashes, to be followed by
death If he still refused them knowledge
Of the ringers he had previously
secreted. To the civil war she sacrificed
husband and sons, and to-day she is
honored and revered by Noblesville.
Numerous citizens called to pay their re-
spects during the day.
