MAY CLIMB INTO
 DAVIS BAND WAGON.

The Dardanelle Post-Dispatch, owned and edited by John H. Page, one of Gov. Davis lieu tenants, is willing for the ram pant anti-Davis Democrats to en- ter the band wagon, provided they make the proper applica- ton, He says in his paper:
 The Hot Springs state Demo- cratic convention marked the close of the first political chapter in Arkansas politics for the year 1904.
 "The nominees were made in conformity with the Democratic primary election of last March, an allegiance to the fundamental principles of the party was de- clared, and a state platform of principles pronounced.
 Tn that convention there was assembled those who were indi- vidually pleased, and those who were individually displeased, ac- cording to the diversity of indi- vidual choice and preference, but upon the whole the convention but affirmed and confirmed the will of the democratic majority at the ballot box in the primary, and now, among true democrats, there are no individual preferen- ces, they having surrendered to the will of the majority. There is now one solid Democracy, standing firm for the nominees and party enunciations, and it's mission is to march against the Republican hosts and capture everything in sight at the Sep- tember and November elections. In the meantime, those Demo- crats who declared in their hour of disappointment and chagrin that they would not support the the ticket unless it was 'so-and- so,' will be forgiven upon proper application

A WORD OF COMFORT
To the Distressed.

Fortunately for those suffering with Rheumatism in all its various forms, in. cluding Sore Joints, Sore Muscles, and Sore Feet, remedy has been discovered by modern science which ill every instance effects speedy and positive cure. This new remedy is founded on scientific prin- ciples which are acknowledged by the medical world as the only correct treat ment for Rheumatic or Neuralgia troubles. Medicines taken internally rarely ever ef- feet cure without upsetting the stomach. As rule, they injure the digestive organs, shatter the nerves, and in many instances the patient contracts drug habit which leads eventually to decline of the physi- cal and mental forces.
 Paracamph is the new remedy and it is departure from the antquated methods. Paracamph enters into the system through the natural channels, namely, the pores of the skin. When applied it opens the pores and allows the healing, soothing oils to penetrate the sore, inhamed mebranes and muscles, removes the congestion and draws out the fever and inflammation, by inducing sweating. This is the only treat ment that can be indorsed by science, and is guaranteed to cure even the most obsti- nate cases of Rheumatic Swellings if used as directed. Paracanph can be procured at drug stores in 25 cent, and so cent, and S1 .oo bottles. Write for book of testi1no- nials, sent free. The Paracamph Company Louisville, Ky, U. & A.

The Gar will send 100000 troops to

In Manchuria.
The attitude OF the Manchurians and
Chinese toward the advance of the Jap
anese forces is one Of welcome.
1t is rumored that the japanese cap
tured Fengwangcheng May 4, and that
the losses ON both sides were heavy.
In the battle of the Yalu on Saturday
and Sunday the japanese bad a thou

1t is stated that Gen. Oku has landed
three japanese divisions, or $1,000 men,
on the Yalu river for the purpose OF ad-
vancing against the Russian main force.
According to telegram received from
Chefoo the garrison at Port Arthur has
been reduced TO 1000 men. and all the
important documents, money and field
guns have been removed to Mukdeu.

says in telling of the case:
ut was all two doctors could do to

stomach so bad that for two months
after he took the poison nothing would
lay on his stomach. Finally took him
into the country and tried new milk,

He commenced to get feshy and his

entirely well.

RUSSIANS ON THE RUN

Far North.
In a turmoil Of hurried flight the Rus
slams were reported evacuating New
Chwang Sunday evening They disman-
tied the forts, loaded the artillery on
trains and commandeered oil possible
means OF transportation for troops to
the north. They will rush OH to Hardin,
300 miles farther from the Japanese van
guard, and will establish there new
base, thus practically abandoning all
that part of Manchuria from which the
Japanese urged before the war that they
should withdraw.
Already Gen. Kuropatkin, convinced
that he cannot check the invading army
swarming against him from the Yalu
and the Laio-Tong peninsula, has with
drawn the general staff from Laio-Y Yang
to Mukden. He is now convinced that
he cannot hold the country, and, IL Is
reported, is preparing to concentrate his
strength at Hardin before more disasters
overtake him.
1t is reported that there has been Sc
we're fighting at Feng-Wang Cheng, In
which the Japanese were victorious.
They took many prisoners. The Rus
slams are retreating toward Haicheng,
thirty-two miles east by north Of New
chwang, and are evacuating the western
side of the Laio-Tong peninsula.
The Japanese landed 10000 men at
Kin-Chau bay Thursday and Saturday,
10000 at Fou-Chau bay and 1000 at
Pitzewo. They occupied the towns Of
Wa-FungTien and Pu-Lan-Tien and de-
stroyed several miles Of the railroad.
The isolation OF Port Arthur Is com
plete. Sixteen japanese warships pro-
tected the landing Of troops at Kin-Chau
bay, directing a sweeping fire over the
narrow isthmus before the soldiers dis
embarked.
Refugees from Newchwang are return
ing there armed to resist brigands, who
are said to be across the river near Yin
Kow, waiting an opportunity to enter
Newchwang and pillage between the
evacuation of the Russians and the en-
trance Of the japanese.
Shanghai advices say that the Jap
anese have captured Dalny. This Is the
port on which Russia spent 100000
in the hope Of making It the great COM
mercial center of the Orient. 1t Is forty
miles from Port Arthur on the cast
coast Of the Laio-Tong peninsula.

effort to overwhelm Gen. Kuropatkin by
force Of numbers before re-enforcements
can be brought up along the trans-Sibe-
rian railway. For this purpose every
available man is being hurried up from

RUSSIANS IN A TRAP.
PORT ARTHUR Is INVESTED BY
TWO JAP ARMIES.
Cut OF from the World, Russians Ex-
pcct to Hold City for Year-Mikado's
10000 Men Land from Sixty Trans
ports and Seize Railroad.

The Russians seem to have abandon
ed Port Arthur to its fate, and Gen.
Stoessei and his men must either sur
render or die. The Japanese invading
armies swarm at will over the narrow
neck Of the Liao-Tung peninsula. They
have cut the wires and blockaded the
railroad back of the doomed fortress.
Ale4ieff and the wounded were hurried
ly shipped north, just before the way Of
escape was closed. Admiral Togo has
reduced Port Arthur's fleet to nullity.
Two big Japanese armies, believed to
number not less than 10000 men, have
landed on the Iiao-Tung peninsula north
OF Port Arthur, seized the railroad and
put the Russian fortress in a state Of
siege. One army landed on the west,
the other on the east, coast Of the pc
ninsula. 1t Is reported that one army
will march north and attack New
chwsng. Port Arthur has been isolated
and left to It's own resources, and yet
all this the Russians seem to accept with
great stoicism. These events have been
expected since the outbreak Of the war
and the authorities appear to be re-
lieved now that the blow has fallen.
They assert that the fortress of Port
Arthur Is impregnable and amply pro-
visioned to stand siege for year and
that 1t can hold out until the time comes
to relieve It.
While the landing was proceeding on
Thursday, the Japanese ships, consisting
Of the battleships Mikasa, Hatsuse. Shi-
kashsma, Yashima and Full, and the
cruisers Iwate. Idsumo and Asama,
made a demonstration off Port Arthur to
prevent the possible egress of Russian
torpedo boats. A number of japanese
torpedo boats were observed of Miado
Island, in Pigeon bay.
