ment to the effect that John q. Shum
way of Taylorsville, H." had been
arrested in ST. Louis and tried, convlc-
ted ana sentenced to the penitentlary
for having burglars tools in his pos,
session. Mr.. Shumway was astonlshed
to find his name thus brought into
prominence and set about to find out

disreputabl BILE fellow of the name OF

and been sentenced to the penitentlarY
under it. The real Mr.. Shumway Is
now trying to have the court records

Beer and the Nation.

Excessive beer drinking has its own
had effects, but undoubtedly the com
mon use of beer and wine which has
practically developed within half
century has greatly decreased the use
of spirits. The production OF dlstlideo
spirits in the country was less IN lSo W
snirits, several gallons per person lCO
Years ago, has fallen to Ito gallons.
Great Britain and Germany both con-
sumo more spirits, France nearly twice
as much, per person. And although
the beer consumed in the country in a
single wear would fill a tank covering
a long block" and 1,250 feet high,
vet the quantity per individual is not
s,moh more than one third of what it
ia in England, the leading beer drink
inc country of the world, and only
about half what it is in Germany

ODDS AGAINST JAPANESE
COMMANDER OF MlKAD0'S FORCES
DISCUSSES OUTLOOK.
0uinumbered Two TO One, aud Says 1t
Would Have Been Better Had the War
Been Fought Sooner.

A special cable from Chicago Daily
News staff correspondent from Toxic
says:
Field Marshal Yamagata, who after
che emperor, is irst in command of
the japanese forces and was the orig
inal organizer of the Japanese army,
said today that the japanese may have
to fight odds of two to one and that
the clash may come at the Yalu river.
The marshal says:
Russian troops have been coming
nth for long time, and it is evident
that a conflict must result AS matters
have turned out it would have been
b ytter if the war had occurred when
the Russians first occupied Manchuria,
because ever since they have been
strengthening their position in that
province. Our statesmen, however,
wished to preseeYe peace as long as
possible.
sit is difficult to say where the first
big land battle will take place. The
Russians seem to be in force between
Liza Yang and Kalping on the Man
churian railroad. They may cross the
mountains and possibly meet US at the
Yalu.
bridges and roads of Anju have
been destroyed by the Russian troops,
and therefore the Japanese advance
will be difficult. No doubt if the
Russians destroy the Mauchurian rail-
road it may not be difficult to repair
for the use OF the Japanese troops. We
might even replace old material with
new, but the difficulty is to reach the
railroad. Five months ago, the Rus.
sian generals planned to put $50, 900
men in the field. They must have con-
templated supplying them with ammu-
milton and food.

Observation-Disclosures of n Re

The natural reluctance which every

caused Mrs. G. Weber, of No. 1853 South

illness run on until it became chronic.
and evon the excellent doctor whom she
employed could give her no relief that
was permanent. She gives the follow
ing details of an interesting case:
81 felt the trouble a long time before
went to our doctor, perhaps a wear or
more. When L did consult him he told mo

My stomach became so weak that it

Week after week l took the doctors
medicine, but continued to feel worse
and worse. On several occasions 1 was
confined to my bed for week at a time.
My weight decreased to 1902 pounds and
L seemed confirmed invalid.
