VLADIVOSTOK B0MBARDED
BY JAPANESE WARSHIPS

A fleet OF five japanese battleships
and two cruisers appeared of this
place and bOmbarded the town and
shore batteries for fifty-fiye minutes.
The fleet approached from the
direction of Aekold island, at the
east entrance to Usuru bay, and about
thirty-five miles southeast of
Vladivostok. Entering Usuru bay
the enemy formed in line of battle,
but did not approach to a closer range
than mile and one-third. They
directed their fire against the shore
batteries and the town, but no
damage resulted, as most of the 200
shells failed to burst.
The Russian batteries, commanded
by Gems. Veronetz and Artamonoff,
did not reply, awaiting a closer
approach Of the enemy.
The japanese fire ceased at 2:2O
p. m. and the enemy retired in the
direction of AskOld island.
simultaneously two torpedo boat
destrOyeTS appeared near ASkOld
island and two more near Cape Maidel.
The japanese ships were covered with
ice.
The attact resulted in no damage to
the Russians, but cost the enemy
100000 rubles ts10O,0O0) in
ammunition. Most OF the prOjectileS
were six and twelve-inch shells.
The population of Valdivostok was
warned OF the presence On the
horizon of a hostile fleet, and
the prospect OF attact during the day,
but it remained tranquil.

REMEDY FOR GROUP
Mrs. Mary Bress Writes Letter That Gives
Valuable Information TO Mothers

Mrs. Mary Bress Writes Letter That Give.
: Valuable Information to Mothers
The following has been sent to this
office with the request to publish for
the benefit OF mothers whose children
are subject to Group.
EDITOR OF WOOD COUNTY RE-
PORTER:
AS there are so many dear children
at this season of the year suffering
with Group, feel an earnest desire
to let mothers know OF remedy for
this disease.
This is in no way an advertisement,
nor do expect one cent of remunera-
tion, l simply feel so very grateful for
the wonderful relief my child has had
that want other mothers to know of
it.
/ have little daughter, ten years
old, who has had asthmatic Group
since she was three months old, SO
bad she would have violent spaSmS.
We spent hundreds of dollars
dOctOring her without any relief until
l accidentally thought of using
Hyomei. Since then she has not had an
attact and we always 90 to bed with
Hyomei under the pillow. I would
rather be without flour in the house
than without Hyomei. It is a God
send to any mother whose children
have the Group.
I will gladly answer any letter
written me concerning Hyomei. All
/ say is, if discouraged from other
remedies, try this.

Commercial StS., AtchiSOn, Kansas.

At the Stamp Window.

ga man has to be diploma to
serve at the window of a post
Office, and he must be ready with
bis good nature and nlmble intellect
at all times of day. II a patron comes
up with two cents the postmaster
must know just what is wanted, il
there is a greater amount he must
also know. This is one strange being
about patrons Of postoff1ce; they
come up to the window and put down
their money and expect you to read
their minds as to what they want fol
it. A frequent question is, Am I in
time for the next mail? It's safe te
say yes, and how satisfied, yet at
whatever time they arrive they are in
time for the next mail. A favorite
request at the stamp window is for a
yeast cake. In the feminine mind a
yeast cake and postage stamp
represent the same value and they
start out with two errands on their
mind, bread riser and postage
stamp, and they get the two muddled
and the postoff1ce gets the query to
yeast.-The Postmaster.

THIS OUGHT TO CONVINCE
John E. DAILY viii Pay for Hyomei Himself
when Il Fails to Cure Catarrh.

When It Fails to Cure catarrh.
''If I only knew it to be true, /
would not hesitate moment" This
is thought the average person has
when reading the claims of some Of
the medicines that are advertised as
cures for catarrh.
The results from the use of Hyomei
are so remarkable in the cure of
catarrh, that they seem beyond
belief, That fact. thought, that
John E. DAILY, one OF the best known
druggist in this section, has SO
much confidence in the power of
Hyomei to cure catarrhthat he sells it
under his personal guarantee to refund
the money if the purchaser can say that
it did not help them. ought to
convince the most skeptical that
Hyomei can be relied upon to cure all
catarrhal troubles. no matter how
serious or deep-seated.
The complete Hyomei outfit
consisting OF neat inhaler that can
be carried In the purse or pocket,
medicine dropper, and bottle Of
Hyomei, costs only one dollar.
Additional bottles Of Hyomei can be
procured for fifty cents, making it the
most economical of treatments.
Catarrhal colds, which are so
common at this season Of the year,
have been cured in day. Mild cases
of catarrh that have become chronic
are frequently cured in week or ten
days. Now is the time to begin the
use OF Hyomei. remembering that
John e. DAILY sells every package on a
positive guarantee to refund the
money IL 1t fails to cure.

toward giving the Seniors an enter
tainment in the near future. In
order to get the matter into operation
at once Junior class meeting was
held Thursday after school. It was
decided that an informal banquet
should be given in honor for the older
class on March 25. The committee
appointed to provide for hall for the
occasion has as yet not reported.
The boys are now practiclng for
spring athletics, especially along the
line of running, as this probably re-
quires more preparation than the
other parts taken up in the field.
We all hope that the advantage
offered by the gymnasium will show
itself i'm the boys; work this season in
the contests with the neighboring
schools. The manager of the basket
ball team has succeeded in arranging
game with the Plain6eld five which
is to be played at that place Saturday
evening, March II. The boys would
be delighted to see number of rooters
from home at the game to cheer them
on to victory. The game crowned by
victory by the Lincoln team it would
mean great deal, as Plainfield's five
(once defeated) took the prize at the
first game.
T. A. Taylor favored the school
Tuesday morning with number of
pianOla selections. The selections
were good and just what an audience
of scholars desired. We may again
say to Mr.. Taylor, as we say to all
those citizens who appear before us
with some topic, that we hope he
will consider the applause given by
the school and return to US again
some morning.
Miss Mollie Stahl visited school
Friday afternoon. Earl Craford was
visitor Wednesday.
The final examinations were given
in physical geography and plane
geometry Friday. Physical and solid
geometry were begun yesterday in
the respective classes for the remain
ing three months.
The English literature class. after
having studied the life and works OF
Milton, is now taking up his minor
poems. The eighth grade literature
class, in addition to their regular
study, is deyoting one day of the,week
for news topics which are proving to
bring forth good results.
