Miss Helen Whitman, 3Os14 Grand
Ave-, Milwaukee, Wis, writes:
"There is nothing like Peruna for
hat tired feeling, which gives you no
am bition for work or play. After a pro-
1onged illness, about a year ago I felt
unable to regain my health, but foul
bottles of Peruna made a wonderful
change and restored me to perfect health.
AS long as you keep your blood in a
good condition you are all right, and
Peruna seems to fill the veins with pure,
healthful blood. I thoroughly endorse
it."-Miss Helen Whitman.

How to Get Strong Nerves.

First, repair the injury already done
to your nerves. The way to do this is to
do exactly as did Mr.. Hal. P. Denton,
Chief Department Publicity and Promo
ton of National Export Exposition.
He writes: "Toward the latter part
of August L found myself in a very
much rundown condition. My family
physician said I had nervous prostra-
ton and recommended a sea voyage. I
gradually grew worse. A kind friend
whom I had known in Ohio recon-
mended Peruna. Though skeptical, I
finally yielded to his advice. After
using one bottle [ was much improved
and with the fifth bottle came complete
recovery. I am in perfect health today
and owe everything to Peruna."-Hal.

Billings. May li.-H. b. Segur, for
the past eight years general agent In
Montana and Wyoming for the Bur
lington railroad, with headquarters at
Billings, left this morning for Beat
rice, Neb.. where he will take up the
duties of his new position, that of di-
vision. passenger and freight agent Of
the Nebraska lines. Nearly TWO years
ago Mr.. Segur was severely injured
at Cody, Wyo.. while showing num-
ber OF men how TO work a wool com
pressor.
In lifting a heavy sack of wool he
sustained a partial stroke of paraly-
sis and for some time thereafter he
was in a critical condition. He was
able to resume the duties of his posi-
ton several months thereafter. but
never fully recovered his health. AS
the duties Of general agent require
considerable country travel. especial
ly just prior TO the wool season. Mr.
Segur requested that he be given
position where there was no necessi'
~ OF travel and he was accordingly
transferred. f. W. Klippell. OF Oma-
ha. was appointed as his successor.
Working against great odds when
he came to this country Mr.. Segur
succeeded, by untiring activity, In
building up an enormous business for
the Burlington. He leaves many
warm friends in Billings. Mrs. Segur
and the children will remain here for
several weeks before moving to Beat

then telephoned for doctor and also
for Deputy Sheriff Whitcom. The
doctor came up and pronounced the

dangerous, and his diagnosis proved
correct, as the assaulted man was re-
ported rapidly improving last night
and is expected TO be out within a few
days.
Jones walked down town and was
around there until 10 o'clock, but for
some inexplicable reason the deputy
sheriff failed TO arrest him The de-

BIGGEST GOLD NUGGET.
The "WeIeome Stranger" Found in
Australia Weighed 10000 Ounces.

Could even fiction or melodrama
suggest any situation more romantic?
Figure to yourself, as the French say,
four men sinking down exhausted in
the arid Australian bush, away back
in the "Never-Never" country, where
rain does not fall for years at a
stretch, and the only plant that forces
its way through the choking sand is
the dreaded spinifex, or Australian
spear grass, whose points pierce the
pedestrian like a lance.
They sank down to die. Their
horses, too, were exhausted. and one
of these in stumbling struck his foot
against a small piece of rock that
projected a few inches out OF the
sandy soil. The eyes of one of the
men followed the stumble, and the
next moment he had struggled to his
feet shouting, Gold, gold" Sure
enough, the supposed rock" struck
by the iron shod hoof glistened in the
pitiless sun, and moment later all
four men were digging eagerly with
bleeding fingers arounu the place.
Almost in less time than 1t takes
to tell it these unfortunate fellows
had unearthed the largest mass OF
virgin gold that the world has ever
seen. This is known as the famous
"Welcome Stranger" nugget. II is
of the enormous weight of 10000
ounces, and every ounce of 1t virgin
gold, there being practically no alloy
whatever. 1t is in the shape OF a
rough cross.
This marvellous find acted as ton
ic upon the men. and they we're en-
abled to make their way to the near
est township, which CHANGED to be
Ballarat. Here the welcome Strang,
er" was deposited in the bank, and
after It was melted down brought at
the rate of 500 an ounce. so fine was
the quality of the gold. A fuli'sized
model of the welcome Stranger
may be seen by American visitors 10

bined land and sea attack on Port

tween May 20 and May 23. The ia
panese hope to occupy Port Dalny
within a few days. Dalny is not for

struction of the submarine mines at
Talien Wan, the Japanese intend to
land additional troops there and be-
gin an attack on Port Arthur.
A japanese officer informed the as
sociated press that the japanese are
ready to loose 1000 men in the at

large number in view of the great
percentage of sick and wounded who
will be able to retake the field as a

cision over Louie Long last night af.
ter twenty rounds of the fiercest
fighting ever seen in Butte. The bat
tie too kplace in the Grand opera
house and was witnessed by 1000
persons. Herrera had the best of the
fight throughout, although Long dis
played much gameness in staying the
limit.
Long only saved himself from
complete knockout by clever foot
work and persistent clinching and
hugging. Long did not land on the
Mexican often during the entire fight,
and then his blows lacked steam, and
at no time was Herrera worried. To-
ward the end of the battle Herrera
grew tired of pushing Long away from
him and after every blow the Oak
lond man would hug and the referee
had all he could do to keep the men
apart.
Herreras advantage was apparent
in every round, and only in the fifth
were honors about even. In the sixth
Herrera landed a fierce right swing
on the jaw and Long went down for
the count but the gong saved him.
Long was in distress from the fierce
volley OF righthand swings to the kid
neys, and several times looked ap-
pealingly to his corner for a word of
encouragement from his managers.
Time and again he seemed ready to
drop to the floor in sheer exhaustion
when the gong rang. The persistent
jabbing in the face from the Mexi-
cans left brought blood and almost
closed one eye.

die Hanlon challenged the winner to

Declare the Russian Cause is Lost.
Berlin, May 15.-The newspapers of
all parties have begun vieing with one
another in praise of Japanese military
genius and in prophesies of the con-
tinued defeat of the Russians. Sever
al morning journals openly declare
that the Russian cause is lost, one
intimating that Russia will prefer to
make an attempt to recover her pres
tige in another sphere-evidently
meaning Asia-rather than to contin-
lie the struggle in Manchuria indefi-
nitely
This change of tone pervades not
only the military criticisms but the
political leaders alike. The Nation
al Zeitung. which is regarded as the
principal organ of the foreign office
predicts that China will side with ia
pan as soon as Port Arthur falls, and
characterizes the Russian attempt to
hold Manchuria as equally rash in
conception and defective in execution.
The suggestion of st. Petersburg
newspaper that it is the duty of the
civilized nations to threaten China
with an army of occupation II she
shows indications of taking Manchu-
ria merely because they were disin'
clined to re-enter upon Chinese ad-
ventures.

Petroleum in Ferqus County.

A mild sensation was raised in this
city this morning when 1t was an
nounced that some oil bearing shale
could be seen at the store Of Wood
man & Charters. The rock was
brought in from the foot Of the Snowy
mountains by William Noble. II ex-
udes a substance which is certainly
oily and when burned the odor is un-
mistakably that OF oil. II is the opin-
ion of the "oil experts" of the city
that the oil was pressed from the
sands below into the shale saturat-
ing il so that the substance can be
easily recognized. The shale brought
in by Noble is practically surface rock
and some of 1t will probably be sent
to an expert for his opinion. The dis
covery of this evidence of an oil reg
ion in Fergus county recalls a report
which was circulated about twenty
years ago. when someone said that
oil could be skinned from certain
portions of Cottonwood creek near
the old village of Cottonwood. No one
knows but that there might be anoth-
er Beaumont within the confines Of
the INLAND Empire" We have -ev.
erything else and all that is needed
to make this the richest and best
country on the face of the earth are
few gushers and we will probably
have them in time

HANNA GUARD
HAVE CONTROL
Friends and Followers of the old
Leader Dominating the Ohio Re-
publican Convention.
HeRRIcK TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN
Governor and Senator Dick Hold the
Whip-Foraker to be a Dele.
cLte.at.Large.

Columbus, Ohio. May 1.-THE Re-
publican state convention meets here
next Tuesday and Wednesday under
the new conditions. This is due TO
the loss of Senator Hanna, who had
attended these gatherings for a score
OF years and dominated them for the
past decade. This Week no one is
supremely master. In place of Han.
ma there is group OF leaders. In.
stead OF crowding into Hanna's quar-.
tiers the few delegates and candidates
who are present are awaiting the re-
suits of councils of war and confer.
ences OF peace. The county conven.
tions that selected delegates to this
state convention adopted resolutions
of respect to Hanna in advance of the
state gathering. This action in the
counties was without precedent af-
ter the death of other Ohio senators.
There are 95l delegates in the con-
vention. The large majority is af.
filiated with what is called "the old
Hanna guard" so that there is no
doubt about the convention being con.
trolled by Governor Herrick, George
b. Cox and Senator Dick, who. with
Senator Foraker, will be the delegates
at large to the Republican national
convention at Chicago.
AS Lewis c. Laylin, one OF the "olG
Hanna guard" is a candidate for q
third term for secretary of state, the
Foraker men" had planned to ID
pose him with the third term weap-
on, but that has been abandoned.
What is called the "old Hanna guard"
will name the ticket and delegates.
the latter including Senator Foraker.
for the sake of harmony and in def.
erence to President Roosevelt"
The principal contention is for con.
tinuance Of control of the party or
ganization, and ii Is conceded that
Governor Herrick, who will be both
temporary and permanent chairman
OF the convention, will be reelected
as the Ohio member of the national
committee and that senator Dick will
be reelected chairman OF the state
executive committee. so that the old
Hanna organization is assured OF con
tinuance. The organization men"
will write the platform, and there is
no indication now of any concessions
except in making Senator Foraker
one of the delegates at large. Her
rick, Cox. Dick and Foraker will be
named unanimously in one resolution
or motion as the big four" and the
only free for ALL races will be for
alternates at large and minor places
on the state ticket.

MINISTER'S SCRAP.
Have Lively set-to While Going to
Baptist Convention.

Texarkana, Ark, May 12.-Rev. j.
b. Cranfill fired two shots from a mag
azine pistol at Rev. s. l.. Hayden on
a Texas Pacific train coming into Tex
arkana today. Neither shot took eff
feet. The encounter occurred in the
lavatory of the sleeper on which both
men were en- route to the Southern
Baptist convention at Nashville.
Cranfill was arrested on his arrival
here and arraigned on a charge Of as
sault to murder. He waived examina-
ton and was released on $4,000 bail.
He left for Nashville this afternoon
and Hayden will resume his journey
tonight. The encounter today, 1t Is
grew out of past difficulties,
legal and personally between the two
men. Hayden was accompanied by
his wife and daughter and Cranfill by
a party of friends.
