The people who are always taking
cold at the least exposure should real
ize that their systems are weak in re-
sistive power. This is a very simple
principle when you think of II, but as
long as people do not die from their
colds, they probably will neglect the
proper treatment. They think because
they always have recovered in time
from cold they always will, and this
is just what gives Pneumonia, Con-
sumption and other diseases their
chance. The reader of these lines
knows perfectly well that we are tell
ing the simple truth.
Let us illustrate what we have to say
by the following letter.
42S Sixth St, Brooklyn, N. Y,
December 2, 1903.
Dear Sirs-I have always been very
susceptible to taking cold, and last
winter was finally taken i'll with
Bronchial Pneumonia / had a severe
cough and nothing that I took seemed
to do me any good until l tried Ozo-
mulsion. This preparation helped me
wonderfully 1t relieved my coughing
almost Immediately, and the best part
of 1t all was. that it built up my entire
attacks.
/ liked the taste of ozomulsion very
much. 1 think it Is a wonderful prep
aration for coughs and colds and for
giving general strength to the system.
After taking 1t l did not take cold
so easily and, in fact, felt better in
every way.
Very truly yours,
(Signed) Bessie @. Ballou.
The reader OF the foregoing letter
may argue that Ozomulsion Is to him
a new preparation. He may not have
heard of this before. and may, therefore,
be somewhat skeptical. 1t happens, how
ever, that in the case of Ozomulsion
the remedial agents employed are not
new to anybody. even II the name does
seem somewhat strange. Cod-liver oil
is not new in the treatment Of coughs

JAPANESE SUCCESSES.
Seem to Have the Upper Hand i'm
the Recent Fighting.

No appreciable progress has been made
In the projected advance southwark OF
the Russian army under Gen. K%uropatkin
since the initial success Of the movement
in the capture of Bentziaputze. Fighting
of the most stubborn description contin-
ues practically along the entire front.
Field Marshal Oyama reports the cap
ture of thirty guns from the Russians,
and claims distinct successes in forcing
the Russians to retire from some of their
advanced positions.
Gen. Kuropatkin's report to Emperor
Nicholas is couched in guarded terms,
and claims nothing in the way of accom-
plished results.
Reports from the Russian military
mander at Port Arthur show that the
japanese have brought a shell fire to
bear upon the inner forts. The garrison,
however, is reported to be hopeful of the
outcome of the siege.
st. Petersburg dispatches say that des-
peratc fighting and heavy losses on both
sides, with varying success for the Rus
slams, is the summing of the situation by
Gen. k~uropatkin in a telegram filed Oct.
l3. There is no sign of the battle slack
ening. On the contrary, Gen. K~uropatLin
telegraphs that he had ordered the army
to resume the fight with undated vigor
Thursday. Gen. Kuropatkin himself is
in the thickest of the fighting and Gen.
.Sakharoff, his chief of staff, is personal
ly directing "Reminiscences The adj
vance guards at these points had to be re-
peatedly reinforced owing to the great
pressure of the japanese attacks. At
nightfall on Oct. II the Russian right
was withdrawn from its main position;
but one of the abandoned positions was
retaken at the point of the bayonet dur
ing the night.

HUNDREDS FACE STARVATION
Flood Situation in the southwest is
More Serious,

Seventy dwellings in San Marcial, 80
miles south of Albuquerque, n. NJ, have
been wrecked by the floods of the past
week, and there is great suffering and
restitution. The plight of the Mexican
people in the surrounding valley is terri
BILE, and hundreds must starve unless im-
mediate help is furnished from the out
side. Not only their crops and stores, but
their lands, have been ruined.
The Santa Fe announced that it will
require two weeks to restore train service
between Albuquerque and Ell Paso. The
road is still tied up north of Waterous,
but the line between Las Vegas and AL
buquerque has been opened. Trains are
compelled to run slowly on account of
the poor condition of the roadbed.

r OBBERiES AND HOLDuPS.
Crimes Frequent i'm Vicinity OF
Montrose.

Several unusually bold holdup men are
operating at Montrose and vicinity. VIII
liam Grady, a resident of Montrose, was
a victim. Upon entering his own barn
he was held up by a couple of strangers,
who had secreted themselves in the barn.
Grady was compelled to disgorge all the
money he had with him.
DR.. Spencer, another resident of Mont
rose, was stopped on the road near town
while driving with his wife and infant
child. The doctor, with rare presence of
mind, quickly struck the horse a vicious
blow with his whip. Unused to such
treatment, the animal gave a wild jump,
compelling the bandit to loosen his hold
of the bride.
Robberies and holdups have become so
frequent in that immediate locality that
the authorities are preparing to run out
of the country all strangers who cannot
give a good account Of themselves.

cHILo's BODY DlsMEMBERED
Horrible Development OF Voodooism
I'm 81. Vincent.

Advices from Kingstown, Island of st.
Vincent, state that police investigation
into the matter of the murder of a littlc
white boy, whose heart and dismember-
ed hands were found in the house of an
old man NEGRO sorcerer) in the island of
St. Lucia, as related in a dispatch to
the Associated Press ON Oct. IL, has re-
suited in the arrest of a seemingly intel
ligent negro butcher and a disclosure of
barbarous superstition and diabolism
that survives to a startling extent in the
West Indies, the heritage of a savage
ancestry.
The child, it appears, was the victim of
the man now in custody, and who had
been concerned in some litigation, to
work a SPELL upon the Judge of the SUI
preme court who was to try the case. To
this end the negro decoyed the child to
the house on a deserted estate and there
the child was murdered and his corpse
dismembered.

WHOLESALE PRISON BaeAK.
seven Men Escape from Sioux Falls
P~enitentiary.

One of the most sensational and whole.
sale escapes in the history of the Sioux
Falls penitentiary occurred about 5
O'clock Thursday evening, when seven
desperate prisoners made a break for lib.
erty. The escape was made from a new
building which is i'll course of construe-
ton at the ~penitentiary. The alarm was
promptly given and every available
guard and attache Of the prison was
speeding in pursuit. After an exciting
chase two of the fugitives, James An
drews and Thomas Burns, both under
sentence of twelve years for highway
robbery. were recaptured.
Two of the remaining five were wound
ed by the fusillade Of shots which was
fired after the escaping prisoners. The
two wounded men dropped to the ground
and for a brief time it was thought
that they had been killed, but they man
aged to gain their feet and take refuge
in the bushes on the bottom land along
the Big Sioux River.
Darkness prevented an effective search
being continued, the FIVE fugitives evil
IDENTIFY having secured safe hiding places
in the timber along the river.

GIBBONS INDIGNANT
CARDINAL rs MUCH ANNOYED
OVER SCHELL'S COURSE.
Had a Perfect Right TO Urge Action
in Behalf OF the Ninnebagoes, but
should Not Have Cast Reflections
ON COMMISSIONS err Jones.

A Washington. ID. c., special states
that Cardinal Gibbons Is very indignant
that Father Schell should have cast re.
Elections upon Indian COMMISSIONS
Jones, and hat Schell should have
brought Mother Drexel, OF Philadelphia,
into the affair.
Father Ketchum, in charge OF the
Catholic Indian mission bureau, made a
special trip to Baltimore Friday morn
ing to lay the Schell matter before the
cardinal. The latter had seen the story
in which Schell reflected on Commission
er Jones, and was extremely annoyed. as
are other leading Catholics in the east.
The cardinal expressed keen regret that
Schell should have so far oyerstepped the
bounds OF propriety. The cardinal said
Schell had a perfect right to urge action,
and in case he felt the officials were not
doing all that should be done. even TO
take the matter up with the president, if
he felt so disposed, but that such an at
tack OH a high government official was
indefensible.
Father Ketchum says Mother Drexei
does contribute to support the Winnebago
mission, but that this contribution is
made to the mission and does not consti-
tute authority or support to Scht;,.
The sensational feature of the investi-
CATION being held at Homer, Neb., by
Inspector Wright came Friday, when
Father Schell, ~instigator of the investiga-
ton, was charged by William Odell, of
the firm of Odell Bros, butchers OF Ho-
mer, with attempting to intimidate him
IN order to make him testify adversely to
Ashford Bros. and G. j. O'Connor, the
merchants who Father Schell says have
demoralized the Winnebago Indians.
This came after the inspector had
heard much testimony in regard to the
buying of heirship lands. When the mat
ter of the Ashford and O'Connor charg-
ing he Indians usurious interest was
taken up. 1t was claimed by Father
Schell that the Indians had to pay a usu-
rious interest on money borrowed from
the banks OF O'Connor and the Ashfords.
The testimony Of the Ashford Bros.
and O'Connor on this point was that the
interest charged the Indians for money
ranged from the legal rate on the best
loans to 100 per cent on small loans
where considerable risk was involved.
