Pneumonia is too dangerous dis.
ease for anyone to attempt to doctor
himself, although he may have tho
proper remedies ut hand. A physi-
clan should always be called. II
should be borne in mind, however,
that pneumonia always results from
cold or from an attack Of the grip,
and that by giving Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy the threatened attack
of pneumonia may be warded of.

Tho mail that left Crescent City

the Del Norlo Records OF the day be-

Of creek near the 10 mile stake, and

THE TORPEDO AS \ PROMOTER
OF PEACE.

The terrible destructiveness OF tor
pedo and submarine mines has been so
strongly brought out in the war be-
tween Japan and Russia that it must
greatly affect future naval construction.
More torpedo boats will be the rule i'll
every navy, and this will mean core
torpedo BOAT dest-oyers to cripple them
or keep them away from the cruisers
and battleships. Tho destroyers are
nothing but large torpedo boats. more
heavily armed than the smaller craft
and better fitted for sea service.
The submarine type OF torpedo boats
has never been used in fctual war. so
far rs known, though thore have been
eurmises shat the P%etropavolsk may
have been sunk by such a hidden as
s~ailant. The japanese have denied the
existence OF any submarines in their
navy, though it appears they have Sc
veral under construction. And it is re-
ported from ST, Petersburg that the
Russians are about to ship q submarine
boat to Vladivostock i'll sections by rail.
Tho American navy has a number OF
submarine torpedo boats, one OF which
is stationed ut San Francisco, and the
others are on the Atlantic Coast. Trials
OF these boats have been successful in
all respects, and indicate how fright.
fully efficient they may be in real fight
ing. \ few Of these deadly little non
stcrs, approaching an enemy's fleet I'M
der water and remaining submerged
until their work had been done, might
in n short time sink every ship without
showing themselves to be a mark for
guns Should this result ever be ac-
complished, the days OF the great navies
would he over. Thus the submarine
boat may become q potent agent Ill the
promotion OF peace between nations,
and for tho settlement of International
difficulties by arbitration instead Of the
big guns and armor plate.

DIVIDES TIE REPUBLICANS.

purpose Of asccrtaining il reciprocity

Republican machines in Massachusetts
and the other states, notably Iowa, are
fighting tooth and nail to prevent the
spread Of reciprocity sentiment and to
defeat Mr.. Foss i'll Massachusetts. Gov.
Cummins i'll Iowa, and Gov. La Toilette
in Wisconsin.
In Iowa tho protcctiOnists ring is
making an especially bitter fight against
Gov Cummins and tho Protective Tariff
league, through its organ, the Econo.

"Cummins and his followers have
slIown themselves to DO the enemies Of
