Taking Desperate Chances.

1t is true that many contract
colds and recover from them
without taking any precaution
or treatment, and a knowledge
of this fact leads others to take
their chances instead of giving
their colds the needed attention.
1t should be bournei in mind that
every cold weakens the lungs,
lowers the vitality, makes the
system less able to withstand
each succeeding cold and paves
the way for more serious dis
eases. Can you afford to take
such desperate chances when
Chamberlain's cough remedy,
famous for it's cures of colds,
can be had for a trihe? For

Best Cough assaile;ac f,r Children

When you buy a cough medi-
cine for small children you want
one in which you can place inn
plicit confidence. You want
one that not only relieves but
cures. You want one that is
unquestionably harmless. You
want one that is pleasant to
take. Chamberlains cough rem
edy meets all of these condi-
lions. There is nothing so good
for the coughs and colds Incl
dent to childhood. 1t is also a
certain preventive and cure for
Group, and there is no danger
whatever from whooping cough
when it is given. 1t has been
used in many epidemics of that
disease with perfect success.

w. H. Withrow went to Lo-
gan this afternoon.
The plans for a church build
ing have been submitted to the
official board Of the Christian
church for inspection. 1t seems
to a passerby as if it would be
a hard task to find an architect
who can improve on the former
building. The public as we'll
as majority of the members
have often expressed a feeling
of perfect satisfaction with the
plans formerly drawn by their
worthy pastor H. q. Higbee.
For beauty and size as we'll as

were afforded in it's spacious

find a church with qualities
superior to those of the edifice
which was destroyed by fire.

II: w. Clover was at Logan
first of the week.
Our school is recovering from
the dearth of scholars. There
are about 20 enrolled. The
school near Mr.. Deur's fruit
farm has about 5 or 6 attend
ing.
The Frazier school house,
south of here, is being painted
and the yard is being fenced
so cattle won't kill the grass.
H. w. Clover organized
Sunday school at the Frazier
school house last Sunday. Quite
an interest was manifest. Mr..
Weber is superintendent and
Mr.. Frazier, assistant. Sunday
school every Sunday at 3 p. m.
Mrs. N. Purcell and her
father will soon go to their
claim in Nebraska.
Miss Anna Cole says she likes
her school very we'll.
Will Rowe, Jr., and wife have
moved back from Omaha and
now live in Sleepy Hollow. Mr..
Rowe and Mr.. Donnelson took
teams to Omaha and moved
them here. Welcome to cur
midst.
George Hopkins sent the
writer some apple and peach
blossoms, so it seems that all
the peaches in Missouri are not
killed. He says they are busy
planting corn. Maybe We'll
catch up by and by.
MIR. Carter and Miss Coleman
were at our prayer meeting
Wednesday night.
Bert Perkins is at home and
has buckled on the harness to
work at home this summer.
D. Coles pig crop is quite
good; 4 sows and 81 pigs.
John Darling believes there
is money in strawberries for he
is going to set out II acres this
spring. He has quite a patch
besides. If one should raise
more than the Valley consumes
it is the duty of the Fruit
Growers to find a market else
wnere.
James Donnelson had two
cows fall in the ditch in the
4 pasture. Frank and Ike Don
nelson and Fred Hughes worked
till 2 in the morning before
they got them both out. One
of them died and it is doubtful
if the other lives. James was
helping Will Rowe move.
The News says it will be a
dry year. 1t doesn't look like
it so far two days rain and

BURT WAsNOT RELDBY JApS
Letters From Him Deny Report
That Ship lie Sailed on Was
Fired On

Omaha News:
Friends Of Horace G. Burt
have received communications
from him, dated Yokohama,
Japan, in which he gives an ac-
count of his trip, as far as
Japan, on his way around the
world.
Mr.. Burt speaks of the main
group of islands, composing
Japan, as being less than twice
the area of Nebraska, and con-
tanning a population of al ,O0O,-
600 people, who are very thrifty.
He states that no attempt
was made to capture the steam
ship Korea, upon which he and
Mrs. Burt sailed, but that a
japanese gunboat fired a shot
across her course. This was to
indicate that the Korea was to
follow the gunboat through the
territory where submerged
mines lay, in order that they
might go through safely.
The cargo was largely sup
plies for the Russian govern
ment, from the packing houses
of Omaha, South Omaha, Kan
sas City and Sioux City. These
were not seized, but were taken
out of the ship and stored be-
yond the reach of the Russians.
They will be purchased by the
Japanese government, or other
wise disposed of without loss to
any commercial interest, except
that of Russia.
Mr.. and Mrs. Burt will re-
main in Japan until some time
in May, when they will proceed
to the Philippines, and from
there to China. Later, they
will go to India, and thence to
Egypt and the European con-
tinent.
Mr.. Burt reports both he and
Mrs. Burt are in excellent
health.
Mrs. Jno. Tierney, who re-
sides north of the city, is much
better today after a siege of
lagrippe.
Guy Smith is on duty again
today after serving a few days
with the grippe.

La Valetta, Malta,
! February 18th, 1904.
Dear Aunt was rather sur
|prised to hear from you, and l
thank you very much for my
present, which | think is very
nice, and will remember you
when | get into port where /
can buy silks, and other things.
| am an island, called NAL
ia now, and the city is called
La Valetta. The place is Eng
lands possessions, and | guess
it is one of the oldest cities in
the world.
Well, before l tell you about
my travels, I'll tell you a few
a few of the details concerning
our torpedo boats. When we
came here, one of our torpedo
boats, the Bany, run on q rock
and done a little damage, so we
had to put her in the dry dock
and have a new propeller put
on. Since we have been on this
trip we have not had any bad
luck with the torpedo boats, but
we are only half way now, and
the rest of the way we can't tell
what kind of a time we will
have with them.
Yesterday | had liberty for
"a hours, and l certainly had a
fine time. This morning, / have
got big head as the result of
| it, but it will soon wear off. |
took a cab and rode all over the
city for a quarter, but / had to
pay a shilling, that is just the
same, and | visited a church
called Chaple of Bones, h IS
church is covered with bones
and real old skeletons; then
visited other churches, but they
wasn't near as interesting as the
other one is.
The stores and business pla
ces here are quite different to
such places in the United States
Here the stores and business
places are right in the streets
and they don't keep very much
in their stores either.
The English people here d.
much like we do, but the Malt;
| and people of the Island here
have a queer dress, woman spe
cially, they wear their face
half masked in black.
! suppose it is pretty cold il
your country but it is pretty no
here.
If | don't get thrown off a
Manila, | think | will be hom
4 for a few days, and then go t
st. Louis Exposition in Sept.
but this war braking out, w
can't tell what may happen.
expect we will get in it in abou
six months.

A Cedar Rapids preacher bore
the blows and abuse of his wife
with meekness until she finally
hid his pants and prevented him
from preaching. Then he sued
for divorce. A minister with
out trousers is of no earthly use
in a pulpit or anywhere else,
and for that reason it looks as
if the wife overreached herself.
She robbed her husband of both
his profession and his trousers
at one fell blow. That is enough
ground for a dozen divorces.
Most wives would have been
content with the contents of
the trouser pockets. Frolics

Among the charges were illegal voting,

the use of liquor.
Charges on Both Sides.
While it was charged that Mr.. Nor
ris wired to Gilmer county, asking for
majority of 600 to 700. it was also
claimed that Judge Gober wired to

special commission of military and
naval censors. Formally all the tele-
grams addressed to the Emperor re-
ceived direct at the Winter palce were
sent to Admiral Abaza, who decipher-
ed them and forwarded them to a COM
mission sitting in the telegraph office.
Censors read the messages carefully,
omitted a word or passage likely to
prove useful to the enemy, and then
a duplicate was given out to the cor
respondents quartered in an adjoining
room.
The only delay arose from the CEN
sors adjourning from 2 p. m. to s p. m.
The present arrangement involves
further delay. Messages have to come
back from Tsarskoye-Selo after being
deciphered. Those relating to land
operations go to the War Ministry and
those referring to the sea movements
are taken to the Marine Ministry,
which are respectively entrusted to
give them out. Yesterday Gen. Kuro-
patkin's first telegram reached the War
Ministry at noon, but the official IN
charge had taken a train to Tsarskoye-
Selo, to report to the Emperor, and
consequently the dispatch did not reach
the public until night.

RUSSIAN LOSSES WERE
1000 MEN, 40 OFFICERS

st. Petersburg, May 5, 3:47 a. M
The Russian losses at the battle of Kin
Tien Cheng were 1000 men and forty
officers.
This is the official estimate of Maj.
Gen. Kashtalinsky who directly COM
manded the division that suffered the
brunt of the attack and whose report
was received yesterday by the EN-
peror. Many are inclined to place the
Russian losses even higher. Gen.
Kashtalinsky mentions also that more
than 700 wounded had arrived at Feng
Wang Cheng and these may not be in
cluded in his report.
He made no attempt to estimate the
Japanese losses, merely stating that
they must have been colossal. The
magnitude of the Russian losses had
an almost stunning effect on the au-
thoritiese and aroused general grief,
mitigated only by satisfaction at the
bravery displayed by the Russian
troops.
Not for a moment was there any in
tention to pay such a terrible price
for delaying the enemy's crossing Of
the Yalu.
Gen. Kashtalinskys report estab-
tanned the greatest losses in order to
save the two regiments which were
occupying Antung.
The Eleventh Regiment was given
the post of honor at the rear with IN
structions to hold back the oncoming
japanese. The Twelfth Regiment and
the Third Battery's quick firing de-
tachment were ordered to retire.
By the time the latter movement
Iao oil ncf
surrounded the Russian position. The
Twelfth Regiment was compelled to
charge with the bayonet and succeeded
in breaking through the enemy's line
The Second Battery's firing detachment,
without horses, could not move the
guns, and were compelled to abandon
them. The men of the Second Battery
put their shoulders to the wheels in an
effort to push the guns up the noun
tain side, but the Japanese fire was so
hot that they returned to the protection
of the Eleventh Regiment.
Nearer and nearer approached the
Japanese, and a charge upon the
Eleventh Regiment and the Second
Battery was imminent, so the guns
were abandoned.
Then a priest led the troops and they
began the terrible march across the
valley.
h1u lien CnenB - history, anu we
must now deal with impending events"
said an officer of the general staff to
the Associated Press.
The idea has prevailed that the Rus
SLAMS would not make a stand at
Feng- Weng- Chang, but the fact that
Japanese occupation of that point
would enable a movement to the south
west, thus cutting off the Lao Tung
peninsula. which is taken into consid-
Grafton by the authorities, leads to the
expectation that Gen. Kuropatkin will
dispatch strong reinforeements there
and make a determined stand.
The activity of the japanese, 1t is
remarked here, is not only north of the
Yalu from which there is constant
scouting. but also of the Lao Tung
peninsula. though the failure TO seal
Port Arthur may interfere with the
they had been expected to
carry out on the west coast of that
peninsula.
