fcgains Its natural Consistency and rich
ness. 1t is not heart disease. Some
times people suffer intense pain over the
heart, which is not heart disease but
caused by the stomach. II is the occa.
sion Of much anxiety, alarm and suffer-
ing, for which its victim is dependent
upon reflex disturbances from the stom-
ach caused by indigestion. In the same
way many bad coughs are dependent
upon these reflex disturbances of what
is called the pneumogastric nerve.
There can be no question that the
common-sense way of treating all these
symptoms Is first to cast out the poisons
from the system by a simple vegetable
laxative such as DIR. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets. These are made from botanical
extracts, in concentrated form. To enrich
the blood and increase the red corpus
cles, DIR. Pierce years ago demonstrated
IN his large practice that there was a
vegetable compound that would quickly
cure the bad symptoms enumerated
above by increasing the red blood cor
puscles and thereby feeding the nerves
on rich blood and thus doing away with
the nervous irritability. This Medical
Discovery also acts upon the digestion
and assimilation of food in the stomach,
so that the blood gets its proper food in
the stomach. Feed the lungs, stomach
and heart on rich red blood and you
have surely a healthy body which will
throw of the germs of disease which
lurk everywhere Get as near natures
way as you can. A medicine made en-
tirely from botanical extracts and which
does not contain alcohol is the safest
method DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery contains no alcohol nor mar
cotics.

And saw her on a tall green bush

LOSS OF LIFE REPORTED

Denver. Colo, May 20.--A cloud burst at the head of the Cache la Put dre River. caused that stream to over flow its banks, and meagre reports re- ceived here indicate that great damage has been caused by the flood.
 The rush of the flood caused the dam which holds the water at Livingston Lake, sixty-five miles above Fort Col lins, to break and this added volume of water swept down the Cache la Pu- dre, practically wiping. out the towns of Livermore and La Porte, respec- lively. fourteen and three miles above Fort Collins.
 It is reported that one person was drowned at the former place. At Fort Collins, the Russian settlement, consist ing of about 300 families. is inundated. In several instances the occupants were unable to make their escape and were carried along with their homes. It has not yet been learned whether there was any loss of life at Fort Collins, but 1t seems safe to predict that there has been.
 Although the crest of the flood has not yet reached Greedy, and Is not ex- pected until midnight, ranchmen and other dweilers along the bottoms are moving to the higher ground.
 Reservoirs May Give Way.
 The Cache la Pudre River runs through one of the most thickly settled and richest agricultural districts of Colorado. A large portion of the northern portion of the State is irri- gated from this stream. and number of immense reservoirs have been con- structed for the purpose of steering the water. Should the force of the waters rush weaken these sufficiently to cause break and release the stored water, the result could be nothing but disas- trous.
 All the towns along the upper Cache Ia Pudre have been entirely cut off

 St. Petersburg. May 1O.--High Admiral Grand Duke Alexis has received the fol- lowing dispatch bearing today's date from Viceroy Alexieff:
 The following report by mail from Rear Admiral Wittsoeft Gin command of the naval forces at Port Arthur, was receiv- ed on the night of May 1s-20;
 Three of the enemy's battleships and three cruisers appeared to the east on the morning of May 15. Their movements were watched from Liao Te Shan and Golden Hill. After crossing the meridian of Port Arthur this squadron turned eastward and appeared to be getting into battle formation, then an explosion was observed under the third battleshlp which was of the Fuji type. The ironclad stopped, heeled over to starboard and began to sink by the bow, sending up quantity of steam.
 Two cruisers immediately approached and 1t was observed from Golden Hill that they lowered boats, after which the battleship gradually lighted herself and appeared to recover from her injuries.
 At that minute another three-funneled battleship of the Shikishima type ap- preached the scene of the accident and a mine exploded under her midship sec tion, causing similar explosion to that which occurred In the case of the battle ship Petrovavlosk. In the course of one minute she sank
 The third ironclad put out to sea. the cruisers remaining on the scene of the disaster.
 ''I sent sixteen torpedo boats to harrass the enemy and should favorable op- portunity present itself, to attack the ships separately. The cruiser Novik went out to the passage in order. if necessary. to support the torpedo boats, but the cruisers got up steam at this juncture and drew in towards the shore.
 '"The Japanese cruisers opened fire with all their heavy guns on our torpedo boats but the latter returned to port without loss.
 "The damaged ironciad then disappeared below the horizon with her attendant cruisers. escaping from the pursuit of our fotilla.
 ''In the meantime night had fallen, the wind had freshened and there was rough sea.
 According to reports received from the coast three torpedo boats covering an at- tempted landing in Kerr Bay, were dam aged by our light artillery"

Instruments.
 Worlds Fair Grounds, St. Louis. May 20.-The third session of the International Press Parliament, which is being attend ed by representatives of newspapers in all parts of the world. was held in the hall of congresses of the Worlds Fair tonight.
 The discussions tonight embraced a variety of topics concerning the press and were general. The foreign delegates were particularly interested in the views regarding the publishing of newspapers as presented by the delegates to the par liament from this country. Dr. H. von Kupffer of The Lokel Anzeiger Berlin, presided at tonight's session.
 In calling the meeting to order he expressed the hope that the parliament would help to further the friendly inter- course of nations and materially help in keeping the peace of the world. He in- troduced Joseph R. Fisher of the North ern Whig, Belfast, Ireland. who took for his subject Some Dangers of the Modern Newspapers" MT. Fisher said that the bulk of and circulation of a newspaper do not necessarily show its influence and that the success. of many papers depends on q sensation. In this respect he said the modern press in a number of instances has strayed from It's ideals. The newspaper, the speaker said. is becoming almsot the sole reading of a great number of the people of the world and it controls, guides and edu- cates many of them.
 John Temple Graves of The News, At lanta, Ga. then spoke. He discussed the great power of the press and object ed to editors holding public office. A general discussion then followed.

 Tokio May 20.--Vice Admiral Togo's re- port is as follows:
 Tt is regrettalble to have to report a thiru misfortune. At o'clock Sunday morning I received wireless message from Admiral Dewa saying that on that day at 5 in the morning, while returning from the work of blocking Port Arthur, he encountered dense fog north of the Ehantung promontory. The Kaisuga col nded withsthe Yoshino, which was sunk. Boats from the Kaisuga saved ninety of her crew. The dense fog still continues.
 '.This has been a most unfortunate day for our navy. While the feet was watch ing the enemy off Port Arthur the Hat suse struck one of the enemy's mines and her rudder was damaged. She sent la message for a ship to tow her, which was being sent. when another message brought the lamentabie report that the Hatsuse had struck another mine and immediately began to sink. The Hatsuse then was ten knots off Liao-Te-Shan pro- montory. No enemy was in sight. It must have been a mine or submarine boat Three hundred of the officres and crew were saved. The Hatsuse sank in thirty minutes. While sinking sixteen of the enemy's torpedo craft appeared and were driven off
 Our fleet report is somewhat vague on account of the fact that some of the mes sages were received by wireless tele- graphy."

Charleston. s. C.. May 20.-George w. Murray, oolored, former Congressman from the Third District to the Fifty-third and Ftfty-fourth Congresses was this evening convicted of forgery at Sumter. this State after desperate light by his lawyer to save him.
 The trial consumed nearly two days. The jury was out almost an hour de- liberatlng but returned a verdict of guilty without recommendation to mercy. Murrays attorney gave notice of a mo- ton for a new trial and arguments will be heard tomorrow.
 This case will undoubtedly be fought to the court of last resort, as Murray Is the largest land owner in his county holding about 5000 acres. He was ably defended and the conviction was the re- suit of strongest possible evidence of guilt, mainly documentary and a part of which was given and sworn to by Mur- ray himself in 8 civil suit held last year at which time he produced the forged contract and offered it fin evidence In support of his case.
