Some startling information has come
from the far east, the announcement
being made that Russia has intimated
10 Japan that she must withdraw from
Formosa. The fact has attracted notice
that Russia has massed at Vladivostock
a strong feet and 100000 men and vast
stores OF war material. England Is
said to be recalling her inferior war
vessels from the Orient and replacing
them with stronger ones, but, never
thelees, is now spoken of as the third
naval power in the far east, Russia
being the first, and the second being
left unnamed. Russia's course Is al
luded to sarcastically In the Japanese
press as a splendid policy OF aggres-
sion. One journal says that Russia has
practically turned Japan out OF Corea,
and declares that anything short of
hypnotism Of the most powerful order
absolutely fails to explain why all the
world stands with folded arms and in
helpless apathy watches the develop
ment OF the gigantic plans Of Russia
for the domination OF the East Evil
IDENTIFY the fear Of Russian aggression
is becoming more pronounced In the
east.

Mysterious Double Tragedy ut Owosso.
Shortly after a. m, Mrs. Geo. Rus
sell was discovered on the sidewalk in
front of the Russell home at Owosso,
clad in her night dress, with butcher
knife imbedded in her cheek to a depth
of five inches. A trail of blood led
from the spot into the house and up
stairs to the sleeping apartments.
There her husband was found, lying
on the floor, in a pool of blood flowing
freely from a deep cash in his throat
The Russells claim the deed was the
work of burglars Near neighbors,
however, say they heard loud talking
In the Russell house during the night.
Mrs. Russell had closed deal whereby
she was to make the transfer of some
valuable real estate and it was
known that the couple frequently
quarreled over business transactions.
The cutting was done with knives be-
longing to the injured people. The
bedroom looked like a slaughter pen,
the walls being spattered and the car
pets and bedding saturated with blood,
and the general condition of the room
would indicate that fierce struggle
had taken place. Both will die of their
injuries. The Russells are well-to-do
and have two grown children.

Women who Wear Loose Glove.

The wearers Of tight gloves will be
interested to learn that the women
whose hands and arms are famous for
their beauty all wear loose gloves.
Bernhard wears long, loose wristed
gloves and her white, beautiful hands
are among her charms. Miss Terry has
b large hand, almost masculine in the
strength of its lines, though the fingers
are beautifully tapered. Her hand is
in proportion with her figure and she
does not squeeze either into tight com
presses. She wears large gloves and
her hands are lily white and as smooth
as a young girl's.-Detroit Free Press.

A Case of Spanish brutality.

Capt Gen. Weyler and Gen. Ochando
were the principals in sensational af-
fair at Havana which occurred shortly
before the later sailed for Spain. The
death of Gen. Ochando's nephew, who
was lieutenant in the Spanish army,
was the cause of the trouble There
were ugly rumors in circulation reflect
ing on the young lieutenant who was
accused of conducting reasonable
correspondence with Maxine Gomez,
the insurgent general Weyler sum-
moned the young man to the palace and
was apparently satisfied of his guilt
and told him that if he did not commit
suicide in 81 hours he would be court
martialed and shot. The lieutenant
left the palace and in six hours shot
himself through the heart. The Span
ish official report said the young man
died of yellow fever.
When Gen. Ochando learned the truth
he went to the palace to call Weyler
to account. He called Weyler muir
derer and challenged him TO a duel.
Swords were drawn and but for the
interference of officials one or both
would have been killed in the palace.
Ochando threatens to make il warm
for Weyler in Spain.

THE FOUR QUARTERS
NEWS OF INTEREST FROM ALL
OVER THE GLOBE.
The Strike at the Brown Hoisting Co.'S
Works Mt Cleveland Continues to be
the Cause of BIoodshed and Rioting-
1t Is Extending to Pittsburg.

More Bloods he'd In the Cleveland Strike.
The trouble over the strike at the
Brown Hosting Co.'S works at Cleve-
land has resulted in more bloodshed.
A gang Of the non-union men who
have taken the place of the strikers
were attacked by mob at the corner
Wade Park and Madison avenues over
mile from the factory. A hot fight
ensued in which revolvers, clubs and
rocks were used, and four men were
badly injured, two of whom will die.
Thos. Evans, aged 20, union man was
shot in the left side, the ball passing
through the spleen and hitting the
spinal column SO that both legs are
paralyzed. He will probably die.
Geo. Plumb, non-unionist, was shot
through the bowels, and may not re-
cover. j. w. Caldwell was shot
through the fleshy part of the leg, and
was struck on the head with a club.
A dozen others were somewha injured
but not seriously.
Several thousand laboring men of
Cleveland are drilling nightly on OBJ
The object is in accordance with a long
cherished plan to form the labor unions
into drilled companies, which has been
under considerat ton among the labor
unions for the past two years, but
which has not been put into execution
until the recent numerous encounters
between police and strikers.
The Strike Extending.
The Brown Co. strike has been ex-
tended to Pittsburg. The strikers
learned few days ago that the Schaife
Foundry and Machine Co., of Pitts
burg, was doing work for the Brown
Co., and they sent representative
there. He sent back word that he
would succeed in getting the pattern
makers, machinists and iron moulders
of the Schaife Co. to strike.

STA has no objection to the landing OF
Greek soldiers on the island of Crete 1t
would seem as IL a war between Greece
and Turkey were inevitable. The sui
tan has sent thither three extra bat
talions OF infantry, and II the car
makes no objection the Greeks will
certainly go there also and a meeting
is imminent. The sultan has also bor-
rowed money enough to purchase fast
torpedo boat catcher, built in Kiel,
which is now en- route to Constanti-

Women Not Eligible to state once.

Atty. Gen. Maynard has given an
opinion that Mrs Lucy Morehouse, of
Big Rapids, is not eligible for the Office
of state superintendent of public in
struction She was nominated by the
Michigan Nationalists. lie says the
Office was created by the constitution
and stands on the same footing as gov
ernor, auditor general or any other
state office The constitution confines
electors TO males. 1t would be absurd
TO say that woman who cannot vote
can be candidate for constitutional
office. A woman can be county school
commissioner or member of the board
of education, because such offices are
created by statute not by the con-
stitntion

value. Word was sent to Charlotte,
but when the train slowed up there
the robbers jumped off and the dark
night aided them in escaping to the
woods. They were located in Sec

A ST. Louis man is playing a great
joke on his contrary hens. And any
one who ever owned hens knows that
they will not set when they are wanted
to, and they insist on setting on any
thing remotely resembling an egg at
seasons when their efforts should be d.
rected to egg laying exclusively. This
man knew that blindfolded hen will
squat wherever it is placed, and stay
there till it sees the light of day. He
just blindfolded six of his hens, and
they are now involuntarily doing the
Matching act.

advice during the last few months.
Think what n volume of experience
the has to draw from! No physician
living ever treated SO many cases of
female ills, and from this vast expert
ence surely it is more than possible
she has gained the very knowledge
that will help your case.
She is glad to have you write or call
upon her. You will find her a woman
full of sympathy, with great desire to
assist those who are sick. If her medi-
cine is not what you need, she will
frankly tell you so, and there are nine
chances out of ten that she will tell
you exactly what to do for relief. She
asks nothing in return except your
good will, and her advice has relieved
thousands.
Surely, any ailing woman, rich or
poor, is very foolish if she does not
take advantage of this generous offer
of assistance.
Never In the history of medicine has
the demand for one particular remedy
for female diseases equalled that at
tanned by Lydia f. Pinl1ham's Vege-
liable Compound, and never in the
history of Mrs. Pinkham's wonderful
Compound has the demand for it been
so great as it is to-day.
