"I contracted severe cold several years ago, which from neglect developed into urinary trouble, and threatened Bright's disease. I used Peruna faith fully for three and .one-half months, when my health was perfect once more. have never had any trouble since."- O. Fred Lindstrom.
 Catarrhal inflammation of the mucous lining of the kidneys, also called :" Bright's disease,' may be either acute or chronic. The acute form produces symptoms of such prominence that the serious nature of the disease is at once suspected, but the chronic variety may come on so gradually and insidiously hat it's presence is not suspected until after it has fastened itself thoroughly upon its victim.
 At the appearance of the first symp- tom Peruna should be taken. This rem edy strikes at once at the very root of the disease.

flying. lanterns are g1immerihg and
cries of "banzai" are reigning in the
streets of Toxic tonight In honor OF
the victories gained at sea by Admiral
Togo and Vive Admiral Kamimura.
Underneath the jollity of the populace.
lies feeling OF deepest qualification
at the disposal of desperately serious
problem OF the war.
The Russian squadron which con-
fronted Admiral Togo refused battle.
1t was stronger than Admiral Togo's
squadron of battleships and armored
cruisers and had 1t elected to fight the
result Night have altered the fortunes
of war. The strength of the squadron
which opposed Admiral Togo compelled
him to draw vessels from the squadron
under Vice Admiral Kamimura and
this left the Japanese navy powerless
to operate against the Russian vladi-
vostok squadron and unable to pre-
vent the raids of the vessels.
The raid conducted by the Viadivo-
stok squadron in July was extremely
expensive to the Japanese and not only
was retaliation tempting. but It was
demanded by commercial interests.
The navy, however. grimly refused
to make diversion and stuck to Port
Arthur. 1t was confident that the har-
Dor soon would be untenable for the
Russian warships and that II would
eventually get fair fight in the open
sea away from the Russian land bat
teries. and that the Japanese would
win. These calculations of the navy
were correct and the Russians, with
the chances even. have been hopelessly
defeated.
Vice Admiral Kirmaimura, after
months of weary and patient waiting.
finally got his chance at dawn today
OFF Tsu Island. He sunk the Russian
cruiser Rurik and sent the cruisers
Gromoboi and Rossia fleeing back from
the fight.
The Japanese guns dominate the dock
yards at Port Arthur and 1t would seem
to be impossible again to make sea-
worthy the Russian battleships which
have returned to Port Arthur. 1t Is
probable that the Russian battleship
Czarevitch will disarm at Tsingchou.
The best possible naval force that
Russia can now concentrate at Vladi-
vostok is four cruisers.
Eleven wounded officers and sixty.
six wounded men arrived at Sasebo to-
day. The imperial Prince Hiroyasu
Kwacho, who holds the rank of COM
mander in, the Japanese navy. was hit
in the region of the heart. His wound,
however. is slight.
The steamer Gealic brought from
Shanghai at 10 o'clock yesterday morn
ing sighted a Russian cruiser evidently
the Novik. steering southeast by east.
This course showed her to be headed
for Van Diemen Strait.
Van Diemen Strait is about 100 miles
south Of Nagasaki. and It would be
presumed from the Novik's going In
this direction that she proposes to try
to reach Vladivostok by the sea coast
of Japan.

1t is asserted that information now
in hand is sufficient to convict more
than Reed and Cato of the murder and
arson apd others of lesser crimes. Al
the trial local military will be aug
mented by company from Savannah.
The military was ordered on duty
at the Jail at IL tonight. A crowd OF
men declared to Sheriff Kendrick that
they meant to have Reed and Cato to-
