Lexington, KY, Says:

J. II. Hipplegate, Supt. Of Public
Works, 81 West 9th ST., Lexington, KY,
writes:
"I find that Peruna is an excellent
medicine especially for catarrhal affec-
tions and all diseases leading to con-
sumption, bronchial troubles or stomach
troubles. 1t also acts as preventative
and keeps the system in healthy con-
dition so that it easily throws off dis
ease. It is an excellent tonic and q
great appetizer and as large number
of those who have been using it speak
very highly Of its curative powers, I am
satisfied that my opinion of it is correct,
and that it is deserving of high praise"
j. III. Hipplegate.
Peruna is the remedy for catarrh. Al
most everybody knows that by hearsay
and thousands know it by experience.
Catarrh in its various forms is rapidly
becoming a national curse. An un-
doubted remedy has been discovered by
DR.. Hartman. This remedy has been
thoroughly tested during the past forty
years. Peruna cures catarrh in all
phases and stages. There is no remedy
that can be substituted.
fyou do not dclive prompt and salts

be pleased to give YOU his valuable ad.

Paris Opponents of Pardon Gov ernor Organize Wood
 Club Saturday

Paris, Feb. 6. A Carroll D. Wood Club of 101 members, most of whom are farmers, was organ ized today at Paris, at 2::30. It's adopted motto is !" No Third Term. ]" The following declara- tion of principles were adopted:
 Resolved, That it is the dec- laration of this club that we be- lieve in the principles of Democ- racy, equal rights to all and special privileges to none; that we stand upon the Democratic platform; that we are opposed to any third term; that a third term is contrary to the principles of Democracy and is dangerous in an office with all it's appointing and pardoning power. 7

SUNDAYS HAIL STORM.

In the early hours of Sunday morning many of our people were frightened by a violent wind storm accompanied by a hail storm from the north. The hail stones were almost large enough to crack windows when thrown with the force of the wind which ragged.
 A house belonging to c. J. Saenger in the lower end of town was turned over, and telegraphic communication between this city and points north was cut off.
 The rainfall was .53 of an inch.

THE MINISTER'S SON."

''The Ministers Son" is an exceptionally clever and remark able play. Its four acts are filled with comedy, realism and sentiment, mixed by a master hand. There is no Tagging of heart interest throughout, and it tempts the ear to fall upon the lip of laughter. As a vehicle for the display of the peculiar talent of w. B. Patton it could not be excelled. Quaint and original in his methods, realistic and exceedingly magnetic as Simon Ray the minister's son, a character full of comedy and pathos he holds the interest of the audience from start to finish.

EIGHTH WARD
 SECURES DIVORCE.

Little Rock, Ark, Feb. 6. The supreme court today affirmed Chancellor Hart in the case of the incorporated town of North Little Rock against the city of Little Rock, involving the di- vorcement of the Eighth ward, known as Argenta, from the city proper and annexing it to the town of North Little Rock. The supreme court held that the act of the last legislature, under which the separation was sought, was constitutional, and hence forth Argenta will be a part of North Little Rock, with a mu- nicipal government district from Little Rock, as it will materially reduce the city's income and prestige. It also takes from the city's population more than 10,- 900 people. The territory af- fected is on the opposite side of the Arkansas river.

THE KINDLY OFFICES
 OF THE RAILROAD.

Not long ago a Galena man
 with desire to make money learned that in the wilds of Ar kansas he could purchase wood for $2 per cord. He conceived the idea of getting possession of some of the coveted fuel and dis posing of it at a goodly margin in Galena. One car of the wood was ordered and when it arrived it was found that there were freight charges on it to the ex- tent of S60. There were thirteen cords in the car, making a freight expense of. almost $5 per cord. He refused to accept the wood and 1t was shipped to Joplin and

REMMEL RETURNS.
Declares That Nomination of Roosevelt is Assured Se- cures Changes in Mail
 Service.

Hon. H. l.. Remmel returned Saturday from Washington, D. D., where he went as a member of the committee on good roads, which appeared before the con- gressional committee. He re- ports that the results were most satisfactory, and that while con- gress may do nothing at this time for national aid in the good roads movement, it is rapidly be- coming a national issue, free from political entanglements, and the time is fast approaching when the general government will take up the work and do something that will make the highways of America as good as any in the world.
 Speaking of politics MT. Rem mel said that there is no doubt whatever of the nomination of President Roosevelt. The thing in which he was more directly interested, however, was the success which attended his efforts to bring about a splendid i'm provement in the railway mail service that will mean much for Little Rock.
 The St. s-Texarkana mail is divided, Little Rock and Fort Worth being made the ends of divisions. It is 345 miles from St. Louis to Little Rock and 398 from the latter city to Fort Worth, equalizing as near as pos sible the two runs. Thus 150 clerks will spend salaries of S1, ,000 a year in Little Rock, in- s~~-ad- of Texarkana and St. TOl1ic

TOUCHED FOR
 A DIAMOND.

Hot Springs, Ark, Feb. G. w. A. Sparks of Little Rock awoke yesterday and found that his valuable diamond stud, set from his ring, and money had been taken. Two young girls had carelessly come to town a few days ago and were stopping at the same hotel. Word was immediately wired to Benton and the city marshal arrested the fleeing woman. Constable Tate brought her back to this city. After she had vehemently pro- tested her innocence and had been searched by a lady she was brought before Chief Shevlin and confronted by her roommate, who had been held all morning. The other girl addmitted having seen the jewels, and when given to understand that she would be searched by an expert she wilted. and stepping behind a screen mysteriously brought forth the two stones, valued at $400.
 On recovery of his property Sparks refused to prosecute and the guilty girl escaped with a .police court order this morning.

Strainilg Fighting
Spirit Of Soldiers.

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. %, a. M
The rival armies of Russia and Japan,
entrenched a short distance from each
other south of the Shakhe river, are
forced to continued inactivity until the
fine weather now prevailing dries the
sodden ground and the tired warriors
are sufficiently rested to resume opera
tions.
A dispatch from Mukden to the Asso-
ciated Press reports that the Russians
yesterday confined themselves to u
bombardment of Shakhe Station and
the adjoining village of Lamatung, the
japanese feebly responding. This
news shows that Shakhe Station is not
held by the Russians.
Russian correspondents report that
some regiments of the Fifth Siberian
Corps have been engaged in slight
skirmishes on the advance line the past
few days.
The fact that the First and Fifth ST.
berian Corps are the only corps hitherto
unmentioned in reports of the fighting
on October 10 shows that General
Kuropatkin has sent the reserves to the
trenches, giving other much tried corps
sacks are raiding the Japanese lines.
1t developes that after the Lone Tree
Hill rout the Japanese were unable to
remove a number Of cannon in addition
TO those left on the hill, and which re-
manned midway between the Russian
and the Japanese trenches. AS they
lay, these guns were so exposed to fire
from both sides that it was impossible
for either side to get them during day.
light and repeated attempts have been
made by both to secure the guns at
dark. Up to the present Cossacks have
got three of the cannon. The dexterity
of the Cossacks in this sort of work
was repeatedly illustrated during the
Russian army maneuvres. On one oe-
casion they distracted the artillery

their rival combatants.

upon with suspicion by a percentage
of employers and employees, the for
mer regarding the representatives as

the latter were inclined 70 think they

TRIBUTES TO RUSSIANS.
Correspondent Gives Details OF Fight
on the ShaIxhe.

LONDON, Oct. 22.-The Standards
Yentai correspondent, telegraphing on
October Is, describes in detail the final
stages Of the Shakhe River battle, and
incidentally refers to the danger which
temporarily threatened Field Marshal
Oyama's right near Bensihu, where the
Russians, in overwhelming force. near
" succeeded in turning the japanese
right and isolating the men sent to
protect Oyamas right wing. He says
it was the indomitable courage and en-
ergy Of the Japanese infantry that
saved the situation.
Detailing the struggle of October Is,
south of the Shakhe River, the CORE
spondent pays a tribute to the desper-
ate courage of the Russians, who de-
Tended their positions with the great
est gallantry. The Japanese infantry,
he says. again had the task of carrying
a formidable position by supreme effort
and self-sacrifice. The slope up which
they crept was swept by a storm of
bullets. The thin, dark line wavered
under the blast, and broke and scat
tered back down the hill, but a handful
of heroes rallied and rushed headIong
up the slope, halted, reformed and
dashed on again, their numbers being
lessened with every foot they advanced.
and once again they were swept back
in confusion down the hillside But
they had shown the way to others.
Another company pushed forward with
its left well thrown back. Again vol
leys crashed out, but this time un-
availingly against the desperate head
long rush, and the indomitable little
men gained the summit.
The Russians rose to their feet the
ranks closed and rifle and bayonet
were at work in one wild melee. 1t
was only for a moment and, shaken
by the courage of the japanese, the
Russians broke and fed to their com
rades below, already in retreat. The
assault and defense alike were a bril-
liant feat Of arms in which the gall
fantry of the Russians was surpassed
only by the devoted courage of the
Japanese infantry.
The Russians fell back to a range of
low hills bordering the Shakhe River,
whence on the 18th, the artillery fail
ing to dislodge them, the Japanese
drove them in the afternoon by a
magnificent spectacle of disciplined war
involving terrible carnage, pursuing
them down to the very banks of the
Shakhe River.
The same correspondent, under date
Of October IL, says:
General Kuropatkin appears to be
preparing to hold the plain in front of
Mukden. He is concentrating troops
I and strengthening his defense works
in three lines, the outer along the
Shakhe River, the second along the
Hun River and the innermost close to
Mukden."

ST. PETERSBURG. Oct. 2

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 81, 1882
p. m.-Permission has been accorded to
the students of Dorpat Oivonia) Uni
versity to resume wearing caps of the
colors which were forbidden to such
corporations under Alexander III, in
pursuance of the policy of the Russifi-
cation of the Baltic provinces. This
step is considered to constitute an
other evidence of the conciliatory pol
icy of the whole Government, which

Minister of the Interior Dispatches

was greeted with the greatest rejoicing
among the students.
Prince Mirsky, following out the
promises he made upon assuming the

St. Louis at the flag end OF the exposi-
ton. The greater significance of an
attempt to revive waning American
sympathy for japan is attributed to
his coming.
The gallant and determined conduct
of the Russian forces in Manchuria
has caused the traditional friendship
for Russia to reassert itself and pub
lie feeling is now estimated as being
almost perfectly neutral.
Japan has keenly felt the subsistence
of enthusiasm. All indications strongly
point to a heroic effort to revive 1t by
bringing Prince Fushimi to the United
States. He will arrive in San Fran
cisco on November IL.
Togoro Takahira, the Japanese Min
lister here, originally planned to meet
him at San Francisco, but now has di-
rected Eki Hioki, first secretary of the
legation, to do so. The itinerary of the
Prince is being arranged with great
care, but nothing more concerning it
is obtainable at the legation than that
he will proceed to st. Louis, will come
to Washington and will visit most of
the large cities Of the country.

TRADE REPORTS
ENCOURAGING
Bradstreet and Dun Find
in Commercial Situation
Increase of Good Feeling
BUSINESS MEN CAREFUL
Wheels of Industry Whirl
With Growing Speed and
Outlook Is Reassuring

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-Bradstreet's
tomorrow will say:
Good feeling, in some instances close
ly approaching optimism, dominates the
general trade situation, but the under
tone is withal one of conservatism and
there is a general desire to avoid over
trading. Past reports of good whole
sale trade are reflected in an increased
speeding of the wheels of industry, but
except in portions of the West and
Southwest, where cool weather has
helped retail distribution, and in the
South, where good prices for cotton in
duce free marketing of the crop, there
is disposition to regard the weather
as too warm for best results in final
distribution. Railway earnings turned
the corner in August, the roads of the
country showing a gain of a fraction
of one per cent in gross and of five per
cent in net over 1903. Collections have
continued to hold the Improvement
noted last week, being especially good
at the South.
General jobbing demand the country
over is most active in staples, such as
groceries, shoes, clothing, hardware
and similar lines. Copper, tin and lead
are fractionally higher.
Lumber is relatively quiet in the
East, but much building is being done
in the West. The market for wool is
strong and tending upward.
In the East the strength Of the
wool market is noticeable.
Wheat, including flour, exports for
the week ending October 20 aggregate
1,066, 462 bushels, against 1,357,175 last
week. 1926, 0s0 this week last year and
7,O60,13 in 1902. From July 1 to date
the exports aggregate 2O,97S,4 2s bushels,

Business failures in the United States

like week in 1903, 1914 in 1902 and 223 in
