The steamer Chifu, which arrived here,
passed within fifteen miles of the
Japanese fleet, consisting of two battle
ships and five cruisers, all actively
engaged. The Russian feet was not

from land precludes the possibility of
an attack on the land batteries. The

FIRE DESTROYS A STARLE
b Thursday Evening Brings
Out a Big Crowd.
-----
RESUT OF NATURAL CAUSES
Structure Owned by William Cushwa and
Used by John Rentch-Firemen
Old Quick Work

Last Thursday at 80 fire broke out
in the stable owned by Mr. William B
Cushwa, located between Race and
Martin streets in the rear OF the resi-
dence of Mr.. A. Koeleschatz, ST.. and
the structure was partly consumed be-
fore the flames were out out. The fire
started in the interior OF the stable
and it was enveloped in flames by the
time the alarm was sent in. The
stable OF Mr.. Kogleschatz, which is
Immediately adjoining, caught Gre, but
the flames were put out on this build
ing, before any great damage was
done.
The origin OF the fire is not known,
but several different versions on the
starting of the blaze are given. Mr..
Kogleschatz believes that it was of
inoendiarv origin, there being no other
manner for the stable to ignite. An.
other resident of that vicinity states
that the building was struck by
lightning, as flames we're noticed soon
after crash. The most probable cause
is DOW thought to have been spontane-
Gus eombustication. The interior of the
building was ablaze before the flames
were noticed and little could be &C.
lcomplished, the greatest effort being
made to save the surrounding build
ings, which was successful.
The stable was occupied bv Mr..
John Rentch. of North Maple avenue.
and everything, with the exception of
the grain and small amount of hay
was taken from the building. All of
the property of Mr.. Kogelschatz was
taker out and it was not injured by
the fire. The structure was insured
in the Farmers & Mechanics Mutual
Insurance Co. 3 local organization.
Great credit is due the firemen for
their work, as they were quick in an
swering the alarm, having stream
on the fire four minutes after the
alarm was sent in. They soon had
the flames under control, and it was
through their efforts that the sur
rounding buildings we're saved. At
one time it looked as though the fire
would be large one, there being SO
many stables in that section, tut this
was averted bv the quick work of the
fire ladies. Mr.. Kogelschatz appre-
ciates the prompt and efficient work
of neighbors in moving his property
from the blazing stable. and says
much loss was thus avoided.

sheriff Dowsin Found . Prior Charge
Against the show Lads.
Sheriff Downin, of Hagerstown. was
compelled to return Monday after
noon without the two Show bows, for
whom he came to this citv with re-
QUESTION papers Monday morning.
1t appears that before the Washington
county authorities began their efforts
to secure the custody of the Show
bows to answer the charge of bicycle
theft in HsRerstown on the Fourth of
July, a charge Of larceny had been laid
against them in Martinsburg, and
tis, the Berkeley county sheriff
thinks, entities him to continue to
hold his prisoners and to disregard
requisition. Several of the friends Of
the West Virginia sheriff shared his
opinion. The states attorney could
not be seen. as he had gone to Wheel
ing to attend the state convention.
Nothing remained for Mr.. Downin to
do but to 90 back to HaRerstown
empty handed.

Town Jail until 10 80 O'Clock this
morning. when, under instructions
teleoraphed from the Governor of
West Virginia, the rapist was put on

So great was the secrecy maintained
that it was not known until this
morning that Williams had been in
Charles Town. 1t is freely stated
that bad the people discovered the
fact that Williams was in the Char.
les Town jail he would have been
taken out and iynched.
States Attorney Mason had Williams
brought back to Charles Town for the
purpose of making his Identification
doubly sure by persons who knew the
negro here and at Harpers Ferry
These persons were not here to
strengthen the Identification, however.
The governor of West Virginia fear.

have him taken back to Moundsville.

Il You Have Dyspepsia. Read This.
The old way Of taking pepsin. bis
muth. etc.. to cure dyspepsia is al
wrong. They may be put up In tab
lets or In liquid. the result is just the
same. The object is TO create arti-
dcial digestion. but this does not
make cure. Stop taking the pepsin.
etc.. and you have your dyspepsia or
Indigestion back again. People use
cocaine or opium for nervous trout
bles and sick headache, 1t does not
cure, stop taking the drugs and the
pain and distress return. The only
Common Sense Method Is to drive out
,f the system the cause OF dyspepsia
and sick headache, by cleansing the
stomach and bowels, at the same
time using medicine that will act on
The liver. This forces through the
glands of the stomach the digestive
fluid that nature intended. In this
way you cure dyspepsia. The medi-
