Report From CherbOurR Says Body
OF LOOmis Has Not Been Found.
WASHINGTON, June pa dis
patch from Cherbourg, France, says
that the report circulated that the
body of the missing man Loomis,
brother of American Assistant Secre-
tary of State Francis b. Loomis who
disappeared from the steamer Kaiser
Wilhelm III. shortly before her arrival
at Plymouth, had been washed ashore
near here is false.
1t is reported from ParkeEsburg, W.
Va, that the name of the brother OF
Assistant Secretary of State Loomis,
whose mysterious disappearance has
attracted much attention is Frederick
Kent Loomis and not j. Kent Loomis,
as reported In the cables. Frederick
Kent Loomis was manager of the
Parkersburg Daily News. He was
highly connected socially and in busi-
ness there. His wife has a child only
five weeks old and is prostrated over
her husbands disappearance. She has
given him up as dead.

JAPS SEIZE
PASSES
Kuroki Advancing In Strong
Force.
FIGHT NEAR AT HAND.
Russian Reports Say Japanese
Cannot Get Around Their
Position.

LONDON, June 29.-A Haicheng dis
patch says that the war picture has
quickly changed, thanks to General
Kurokfs movements.
A heavy engagement is expected to-
day near the village of Simoucheng,
fifteen miles south-southeast of Hal
cheng and an equal distance due east
Of the railway.
The japanese have now passed Dalin
hill and are twenty miles south of the
Russian position.
The two japanese armies have met,
and the Russian forces have been re-
peatedly outtlanked in such manner
that three passes--Fenshui, Molten and
Tatien-have been captured by the en-.
emy.
The japanese Guards are leading
which is a sign that they mean to at
tack in earnest.
The emperor has received the follow
Ing dispatch from General Kuropatllin
ut Liaoyang:
The japanese have attacked our
forces occupying Molten, Fenshui and
Tatien passes. Our infantry and cav
airy retreated, persuaded that the ad-
vancing divisions of the japanese ar
my which were operating against each
Of the three passes were stronger than
our detachments. The japanese made
a frontal and flank attack in considera-
bic force on both sides of this position.
"Our forces which retreated from
Fenshui pass were attacked by small
detachments of Japanese. They were,
however, easily repulsed.
after pushing back our advance
guard from Vandiapudze, on the Stu
yen-Haicheng road, to Tatien pass the
japanese continued their advance
against our position in a defile. For
some time the attack of the japanese
infantry brigade was repelled; but, be-
ing menaced by other troops engaged
In a fianking movement, our forces re-
treated"
A terrific rain renders the roads al
most impossible.
The Russian regiments are camped
on high ground. Signal fires from the
hilltops are constantly flarng, lighting
up the blvouacs and the horse lines
of tie cavalry regiments. Long trains
Jf soldiers are constantly passing and
repASslng.
a telegram from General KuropatGn
has informed ST. Petersburg that Gen
eral Kurokts army had crossed the
lhree passes of the Fenshui mountains
and was advancing in strong columns
from Siuyen on Haicheng and from
Fenswangcheng on Liaoyang, while
portions Of General 0ku's army were
moving northeastward along mountain
paths to strengthen the attack on Hal
cheng.
General Oku has again assumed the
offensive and is supporting General
Kuroki The Russian resistance is cen
tered in the region east of Tatchekiao.
The japanese have failed to make an
advance in this direction, which is re-
garded as denOting the presence of a
large Russian force at Tatchekiae
The unanimous opinion Of the Rus
sian general staG is that pitched bat
tie is now assured.

woman.' ; True, perhaps, her form is pended with years, her eyes are dim, her voice is weak ened, but she is the same dear old mother. Oft times she has admonishel you to beware of the sins of the world, but you have gone heedlessly along and thus ignored her request. Young man, some day you will stand before her when conversation cannot be engaged in-then you will realize your condition. You will wish that you had obeyed her requests, but it will be too late-her ad- monition will never again be heard. The young man who has not respect enough for his mother to call her what he should is a disgrace to his country and race. Think about this, young man, and the next time you have oc ca sion to address your mo ther don't say "old woman.''

AT the recent session of the grand jury of Benton county Judge TiIlman was asked for special instructions on Peruna. The judge read section 1851 of Sandels 6 Hills Digest which is as follows: ''It shall hot be law ful for any person to sell alcohol, or any spirituous, ardent, yinous, malt or fermented liquors, or any compound or preparation thereof commonly called tonics, bitters OF medicated liquors, or intoxi- eating spirits of any character whatever which are used as a beverage in any quantity and for any purpose, whatever Continuing the judge said: ''It is currently reported that Peruna is extensively used as a beverage; that it is alcoholic and intoxi- eating. If it is, and is purchased to be used as a beverage, the seller should be indicted without respect to his, the seller's, intent in selling it. In Bond against the state, reported in the 50th Arkansas, the supreme court held it to be unlawful, under this section, to sell a fermenting liquor that was not intoxicating, containing only two per cent of alcohol. It is currently reported that this alleged patent medicine contains many times two per cent of alcohol and that it finds a ready sale where liquor cannot te easily obtained.''

There is more Cattarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was sup posed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pro- nounced it local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced 1t incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Halls 8 Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,, Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to teaspoonful.

ALMOST every town has among it's citizens the man who is forever complaining. He sees nothing good in anything at home and is always inquiring why his home merchants can't sell as cheap as the merchants of another town This man always buys away from home unless he wants to buy on time. He always takes the paper from another town in preference to his own. in fact, he spends all of his money with out-of town enterprises and complanins be- caus those of his home town are not prosperous.
