Ed. Register:-The attack made,
evidently on me, by your CORE

the writer conceals himself behind
a nom de plume, was u~nwarranted
by the facts, regretted by the best
citizenship, and calculated to dis
turb the peace of the order loving
people of the community. I re-
gard the reference by way of in
situation as unworthy of notice,

NOTED by treating it with the

Am Now In the Best Of Health"
The greatest Of modern physicians, Prof.
Edward +. Phelps, M. D., IL. D., after years
of long practice and close scientific study, gave
to suffering and diseased men and women his
marvellous, life giving prescription, with the
conviction and positive knowledge that it had
peculiar virtues and ample powers to cure.
Thousands of the strongest testimonials from
the best known and most reliable men and
women of our country fully sustain the claims
made by DR.. Phelps regarding his incompaI-
able Paine Celery Compound.
One of the most convincing proofs furnished,
comes recently from a gentleman widely
known in the capital city of the Dominion Of
Canada. We refer to Mr.. Alfred Brown, 81
O'Connor St., Ottawa, Ont. Mr.. Browns
letter fully demonstrates the fact that the
greatest sufferer may cast off his or her burden
of disease and become well, strong, and happy.
1t proves, too, that the great medicine main
tains more fully than ever before its unrivaled
place in the estimation of people of wealth
and social standing as well as with the masses.
Mr.. Brown says:-
81 acknowledge with thankfulness and
pleasure the fact that have been cured of a
very painful illness of eight years standing by
use OF Paine'S Celery Compound. l had,
during the years of my illness, tried almost all
the advertised medicines without deriving any
good results. was also treated by several Of
the best doctors of this city, hoping to find
that one of them, at least, would understand
my case.
&C. was getting worse, and was told was
incurable. l was indeed in a critical condi-
ton. could not go from the house alone
as l was liable to sudden collapse. l tried
hospital treatment, but no relief or good result;
came to me. l could not sleep; anything that
l ate increased my agonies; l was extremely
weak, restless, tired, and Respondent; was
obliged to walk about with my hands pressed
firmly into my left side to ease my pains; my
feet and hands were cold continually; hac
inclination to vomit, had profuse, cold sweats
quick breathing, and would be racked with
pain for hours at time.
"After the regular use of Paine's CeleD
Compound for time, l am now in the best o
health, have good appetite, and can use any
kind of food Thank God 1 am my old sell
once more, all through the use of Paine!

TO SUMMER HOME
ROOSEVELT GOES
Capitol Deserted For Breezy

MAKES TRIP BY SPECIAL TRAIN
President Given Ovation When He Ar

from Political Cares as Possible.
His Proposed Routine.

Washington, July 2-President
Roosevelt left Washington for Oyster
Bay at 10 o'clock this morning. The
trip was made on the special car May
flower" attached to the regular train
for New York on tHe Pennsylvania
road. The presidents arrival at Sag
amore Hill completes the family cir
Gle at the Roosevelt residence. He
will remain there seeking asmuch rest
and recreation as possible until af-
ter he has been notified of his nomina-
ton, July 27
Arrangements have been made at
Oyster Bay for President Roosevelt's
executive offices in the same quarters
he occupied last summer. The rooms
are in a business block of the town,
and there he will transact all officie
business during the stay at his sum-
mer home. Direct telegraphic com
munication Will be maintained with
Washington.
Plans were made to give the presi-
dent rOusing welcome when he ar
"ived at Oyster Bay. The streets
we're decorated and the school chill
dren from miles around gathered at
the railway station to greet the presf'
Dental party with songs and waving
of flags.
With the president on his special
train were Secretary and Mrs. Loeb,
Secretary Barnes and the regular
corps of White House clerks, ste
nographers and messengers.
1t is President Roosevelts intention
to make his Oyster Bay sojourn as free
from official and political cares as pos
sible
At the same time he will devote
the necessary time daily required for
the transaction Of executive business.
This routine will be gone through with
regularly, as it is at the executive of
fees of the White House. 1t will re-
quire several hours daily. Sycamore
Hill, however, is not to be as accessi-
BILE to callers as the White House. 1t
is planned that comparatively few peo-
pie Will be received by the president.
Otficial calls will be limited to their
imperatiYenesS. Political callers sent
to the president by Chairman Cortel-
you, Of the Republican national COM
mittee, will be received. The presi-
dent will receive his personal friends
as usual
President Roosevelt will be notified
of his nomination for the presidency
on July 27 at his Sycamore Hill resi-
dence. He will leave Oyster Bay for
Washington the next mnrning.

Hearst Boom.

The Hearst boom was given some.
what of an impetus early today by the
arrival of the California delegations
accompanied by some OF the mem.
bers of the Nevada and Arizona dele.
cations.
1--WE are all for Hearst until the fin.
ish," said Chairman Tarney, Of the
California contingent I'VE will stay
with him until the end; California
has no second choice in this or In any
other matter"
Another delegate, Mark Smith, OF
Arizona, expressed the same senti.
ment, saying that the Democrats oi
the western coast generally prefer Mr..
Hearst. He did not, however, be.
lieve that the western men in the
convention will be averse to some
other man IN case it should become
evident that Mr.. Hearst could not Sc.
cure the necessary two-third vote to
nominate.
Members of the three delegations
discussed freely the possibility with
reference to the platform, but were
generally of the opinion that there
should be no reference to the Chicago
platform of 1896 or the Kansas City
platform of 1900.
This" said one of them, us the
year 1904, and we are dealing witt

THEY MASSACRE THE WOUNDED
Grave Allegations Are Made Aualnst
the Japanese Charging Them with
lnhuman and Most UnsoIdIerIIke
Conduct-Japs' Honor at Stake.

st, Petersburg, July 2.-The Jour.
nal de st. Petersburg, the semi-ofYi
claI organ OF the foreign office. prints
this morning one of its infrequent edi.
torial articles dealing with official de.
Mai by the Japanese government re-
ports of the "mutilation of Russian
wounded" The article saws:
A simple denial is not exculpation.
We do not deny that our wounded
are we'll treated at Sassebo and other
Japanese cities where well organized
hospitals are operated under the eyes
OF Europe, but on the field of bat
tie, when the Russians are forced to
abandon the Russians cruel fate
awaits them as their agonized cries
cannot be heard in Europe. A photo,
graph by M. Stankevitch, shows hor-
ribly mutilated Russians with hands
cut of and tongues cut out and pierced
by thongs. An officer was found in a
pitlable condition. He was restored
to consciousness and said he had been
fired upon deliberately by a Japanese
soldier. His deposition, signed by
Russian the Russian authorities and
several military attaches, will soon be
in our possession.
General Romanoff has made a de-
tailed report upon the subject to the
Red Cross and Prince jaime de Bour-
bon has furnished testimony regarding
the battle at Vafangow. News has
also come and has not been denied
in the Japanese accounts that the
Japanese use lances and have decid-
ed to give no quarter to the Cossacks
who fall into their hands.
In the face of such grave facts we
think an indignant denial will not
suffice to save the Japanese hoRNS
I'VE have reason to believa 49,
the Japanese massacre and mutl.ysd
the wounded, but treat we'll for the,
eyes of Europe those remaining after
the massacres.
"a proportion of the dead to the
wounded will prove such that it is
hardly possible now to determine;
but sooner or later the truth will come
out
During the Turco-Russian war the
Turkish atr>cities were incredible.
When on the march General Skobeleff
came upon half naked and horribly
mutilated Russians who said to the
English correspondents Behold, gen.
tlemen! An instructive spectacle.
Let the people of your country know
what they are sustaining
''In this dilemma the Japanese must
prove, but not by affirmation, that the
allegations made against them are
false or bear the indelible disgrace,
which would prove 1t to be &erfectly
true that I. people cannot pass sud.
denly from state of cruel barbarism
to one of civilization by means .of
purely technical skill, wkittao,r1tt My ut passing
through the Incompatible school OF
1900 years of Christianity, which, per.
haps, is the most valuable possession
Of Europe. In any case, the Japanese
may be cretain Of one thing-that Rus.
sia will never have recourse to repri.
sails which would be against over in.
