"Yellow Peril" Is a Bugaboo.

Chicago.-"There is no such thing
as the yellow peril" of which we
have heard so much" said the Rev.
George B. Smythe, secretary of the
Methodist missionary society, at the
session of the Rock River conference
in the Evanston Avenue church. He
continued:
The war between Japan and Rus
STA is not a religious war. Japan is
awakening, and | would rather trust
her paganism than Russia's so-called
Christianity"
Mr.. Smythe. who has spent a score
of years in China and the Orient as a
missionary, told of atrocities on the
part of foreign nations. particularly
scoring the Germans and French.

WAR, NOT PEACE.
Russia Insists on Fight to a Finish.

Russia Insists on Fight to Finish.
An article in the official journal OF
ST. Petersburg angrily attacks writ
ers who, in the face of definite of
fetal announcement to the contrary,
continue to discuss the possibility of
arranging an early peace. 1t says:
1T is war, not peace, that we must
insist upon today. War to finish, and
through it, victory at any price. To
lay down arms after blood has been
spilled and humiliation suffered in a
conflict which we did not seek, would
it not be to trample under foot nation
al dignity and spit in the face of Rus
STA, to which some of these peacemak-
ing philosophers claim to belong?"
A complete transformation in the
public mind as to the aspect of the
Manchurian campaign has now spread
to all classes, and it's effects are ev-
erywhere visible. The public no lon
ger describe the Japanese generals as
it did before the battle of Liaoyang, in
despairing terms as men of diabolical
cunning whom no Russian could ever
hope to outwit.
Public dismay is profound at see
ing daily incontestible evidence of a
powerful cabal directed against Gen
eral Kuropatkin. The people are alb
solutely at a loss to understand why

worlds history records, Kuropatkin'
withdrawal of his entire force from

ondary standing to be his equal in

One of the most remarkable cures ever
recorded in Louisa county is that of
Mrs. Minnie Hart of this place. Mrs
Hart was in bed for eight months and
when she was able to sit up she was
all drawn up on one side and could
not walk across the room. Dodd's
Kidney Pills cured her. Speaking Of
her cure Mis-. Hart says:

been down since. In four weeks from
the time started taking them l was
able to make my garden. Nobody can
know how thankful 1 am to be cured
or how much feel | owe to Dodd's

This case again points out how much
the general health depends on the Kid
neys. Cure the Kidneys with Dodd's
Kidney Pills and nine-teDths of the

The University of Washington open

noon in the presence of 1000 persons

score was 33 to 0, and only the sound
of the whistle kept the varsity from
making the score larger.

off the record made by Cresceus at
Columbus. Major Delmar used no wind

WOMEN SOLD INTO SHAME.
Horrible Traffic Carried on in Russia

Horrible Traffic Carried on in Russia.
Gar Nicholas has issued an order
to the governors of southeastern prov
inces of European Russia that they
must Immediately put an end to the
disgraceful sale of young women, that
has become common since the begin
ming of the war Owing to the de-
preston in industry and commerce,
caused by the war, fathers and hus-
bands have openly sold their daught-
ers and wives to agents, who have
them exported to South American
ports. The sale of the women has
been carried on in open market with
out any attempt at concealment.
The average price paid for young
women is about $50, and the trade
has been enormously profitable to
them, as the Russian consuls at Rio
De Janeiro and Buenos Ayres have
reported that prices paid in these cit
les by owners of disorderly houses
average $500. In future any man
found buying or selling a woman will
be banished to the Siberian mines for
life.

Impure Liquor Cause of Mortality
Near New York.

Fifteen deaths within eight days in
the neighborhood of Strikers farms, on
the West Side, New York City, has

the deaths were caused by impure
liquor. All the victims knew one an
other, and a curious circumstance is
that the men had attended their
friends funerals until all were dead
Four funerals were held in one house
and two each in three oLner houses
All were reported to the coroner as
sudden deaths.
