The reports which have been received
in Toxic of the successive blocking OF
the entrance of Port Arthur harbor by
the japanese, coming on the heels OF the
news of the victory on the Yalu, stirred
Toxic to another popular demonstration,
and last night thousands of Lien cary
ing lanterns, swinging high Tom bam-
boo poles, paraded through the city.

various professions. The Offices of the
war and navy Departments and of the
general staff were the scenes Of the
greatest enthusiasm Two of the i'm
perial princes visited the Navy Depart
ment and the assembled crowd welcomed
them with cheers. Then the throng de-
manded Admi,al Ito, chief Of the gen.
eral staff and the hero of the fight on
the Yalu during the Chino-JaPauese
war. He apr reared in Iespoose TO The
calls Of the people and saluted the
crowd.

One Of a mans greatest pleasures is that

and a good dinner, and this belongs 10
many a good fellow who is living on small
wages, but the rich man without stomach
las to forego the good things Of the table
because his stomach rebels. Without a
healthy stomach and good digestion, our
blood is thin, watery and poor, our heart

duty. and mau is miserable and unhappy
In this condition man is prey 70 the germs
of influenza, consumption, malaria and all
the ills that he is heir to. Consumption

are as close TO nature as possible
DR.. r. V. Pierce, chief consulting physi,
clan of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
institute, at Buffalo, N. Y, years ago un-
derstood this disease, and after long pc
riod of experiment discovered certain Toots
and herbs which were natures remedies,
and succeeded in putting them up in
form that would be easily procured and
ready to use. This he called DR.. Pierces

Bryan's purpose to leave the national
convention if he cannot have what he
wants. "Within month" said one of
the members OF the league yesterday,
~. +. Harley, of Lincoln, told Mr..
Bryan he would like to be a candidate to
the st. Louis convention. He explain
ed his position on public questions and
promised Mr.. Bryan he would back him
in everything ne wanted. will you
stay with me in a bolt if it should come
to tbat?' asked Mr.. Bryan, and Harley
replied that be would not. A few days
later, Tom Wofrell, Mr.. B'yan's right
hand man at Lincoln, called on barley,
aud told him that he could not possibly
be a delegate to 81. Louis, giving as his
reason Nj. Harley's refusal to bolt il

Members of the Success League assert
that they are not fighting Bryan. Their
chief concern is to see that a delegation
represents Nebraska in the national con-
vention that will not bolt uoder any
conditions, They expect to see Mr..
Bryan lead a movement out of the hall
if they do not go bis way.
Mr.. Bryan cont oiled the democratic
convention in his home county ye3ter-
