"HE season or catching cold Is upon

most common and dreadful of diseases, is
a cold.
This is the way the chronic catarrh gem
orally begins. A person catches cold,
which hangs on longer than usual. The
cold generally starts in the head and

The best time TO treat catarrh is at the

cold. thus preventing chronic catarrh
While many people have been cured Of

becomes thoroughly fixed, more than one

Eonrteen We're Hurt.

A bob sled containing II young peo-
pie of Battle Creek ran into a tree
Tuesday night while the party were
coaSting down the hill on Barbour
street and everyone of the party were
more or less hurt. The Inflated party
had made number Of trips down the
hill and were again on the way at
lightning speed when the steering rope
broke, allowing the bob to swerve.
With great force it crashed into tres

Warden Russell, of Marquette

dered by prisoners in fighting the
flames in the prison building recently

mentioned the cases of Chas. II.
Downer and David Guinan, both OF
whom had previously applied for
clemency from the governor. Downer,
with Il wet blanket wrapped around
him. carried hose into the building.
He is doing time for bigamy, having
been sentenced from Siawassee county

co TO MANSFIELD
REFORMATORY
John MiIler's Assailants
Pleaded Guilty.
YOUTHFUL CRIMINALS

William Forsythe and Joseph Young,
the two boys who were under indict-
ment for murderously assaulting John
A. Miller in this city, were taken be-
fore Judge Amber Monday and sem
fenced to the Mansfield Reformatory.
Both entered pleas of guilty. apparently
glad TO escape with the sentence that
they knew was to be imposed upon
them. Had the court not been lenient
and agreed to reformatory sentence,
a long term in the penitentiary would
have been given each of the boys. The
one is 1S and the other 10 years Of
age, and they were therefore of an age
that it Is deemed best to send to the
reform school rather than to the PEN
itentiary.
The crime for which they were sent
up was committed early in the evening
of December 4. The young men en-
tered the second hand clothing store
OF Miller on Walnut street near the
corner of Seventh, and beat him into
irsensibility with piece of gas pipe.
They robbed him of $50 in money. Mil
ler's condition is yet serious.

BIG JAPANESE Army

London, Feb. 16.-The Shang Hal
correspondent of the London Daily
Telegraph cables that advices received
from Nagasaki show that the Japanese
plans provide for the sailing of an ar
my OF one hundred thousand men for
Manchuria next week.
This report indicates that the Jap
anese war officials have now completed
their war program and have practically
modified their entire reserve there.
There is now nothing left to interfere
with the army of invasion and the fact
that the troops win sail next week m
dicates that the Japanese admiral holds
the Port Arthur feet completely bot
tied up and that there is nothing to
fear from either the Vladicostok feet
or the Russian fleet now speeding
through the Rod Sea.

AN EPOCH
In Ohio Politics Marked
by Hanna's Death.

Columbus. o.. Feb. 15.-The death of
Senator Hanna marks an epoch in
Ohio politics. 1t is the signal for new
partisan alignment Many OF the
members of the Ohio legislature who
last month reelected Senator Hanna
'or term of six years In the United
States senate answer favorably to Gov
c|Or Herrick as Hanna's succc ssor.
Herricks promotion would elevate
Lieut.. Governor Warren Harding to
the governorship and place the state
patronage under control of the Foraker
wing of the party which faction, now
that Hanna is dead, also controls all
OF the favorite appointments of Ohio.
The leading members of the Hanna
organization will urge Representative
Charles Dick as Senator Hanna's sue
cessor on the plea that he had earned
promotion and that his elevation will
not disrupt the present organization.
Representatives Grosvenor and Bur
ton and Secretary of War Taft are al
SO mentioned in connection with the
senatorship.

JAP STUDENT
At Wooster University,
Talks of His Country.

A Japanese student at Wooster uni
versity, in discussing the war situa-
ton, said:
'The Japs are all soldiers. We are
trained to fight and every male citizen
may be called into the service If the
country so desires. The soldiers are
patriotic and will do anything to bring
glory to their land. The army is not
an expensive luxury to our country
as it Is to most of the European coun-
tries, as the soldiers receive no pay for
their services; glory is the only re-
Enumeration sought and this is enough
We are so near to the seat of the war
that it will be no task to transport our
troops to Korea. where Russian SOL
dlers have to be carried thousands Of
miles before they are brought to the
front"
While having run away from his
native country, coming to America as
a stow-away on board boat bound
for San Francisco, Ohori still remains
loyal to the land of his birth. The
desire for an education and to help In
the uplifting of his country are the
causes which brought the little Jap to
America. where the young man has
better advantages than in japan.
Ohori in spite of being handicapped
with strange language to master is a
bright student and takes high rank
in his various classes; but has never
given up the desire to return to his
native country after cOmDletinp his
education In order to play his part in
the upbuilding and awakening of the
empire.

STARVATION
Threatens the Russian
Troops at Port Arthur.

Vienna, Feb. 15.-It is stated in gov
erEment circles here that there ex-
lists grave danger that the Russian
troops at Port Arthur will soon be re-
duced to state of famine. With the
expectation that the war would be de-
ferred until spring, Russia, 1t is
stated, ordered enormous quantities of
provisions for shipment to the far
east from San Francisco.
The first shipment was to have
started on January 2S. the second on
January 2S and the final one on Feb
ruary T. The provisions are not be-
lieved to have been shipped owing to
the war risk, and evensif shipped will
hardly have had time to reach their
destination. This being so, It is cer-
tain that short rations will soon pre-
vail at Port Arthur.
