GRAND MASTER I. O. O. F,

Catarrh Inflammation of the mucous
lining of the kidneys, also called ''Brights
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 gradu-
ally and insidiously that it's presence is
not suspected until after it has fastened
itself thoroughly upon it's victim.
At the appearance Of the first symptom
Peruna should be taken. This remedy
strikes at once at the very root Of the
disease.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use Of Peruna,
write at once to DR.. Hartman, giving q
full statement Of your case.

Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, Ohio.

BAPIIST> TO EDUCATE
NATIVE MISSIONARIES

Cleveland. Ohio, May ia pro-
posed important innovation was an
nounced at the Baptist anniversary
convention now being held in this city.
It is the purpose Of the church to
raise an endowment fund of 100000
to be used in the education Of a
native ministry in the foreign mission
field.
President Wood Of Newton semin-
AIRY, who presented the resolution, said
1t was the most important action pro-
posed in many years. Millions had
been raised for educational purposes
In America, and It was time to
begin endowing foreign colleges and
schools. This was a far-sighted policy
It Is estimated that this method in
ten years. would produce ten times the
result produced by evangelization.

Foresees Russian Disaster.
New York Sun Special Service.
London, May 19.-"Blacker and
blacker loom the clouds that gather
over the doomed eagles Of Russia in
Manchuria," writes a military CORE
spondent of the Daily Telegraph, who
is a British officer Of high reputation.
He continues:
Both from Italy, which, for some
cause or other has been usually an
exceedingly trustw orthy source of in
formation, and from America comes
the news that two divisions of the
japanese army, if they are not actu-
ally astride Russian communications,
are, in a military sense, in possession
of them.
II think that the army so employed
Is stronger than two divisions, that 1t
is probably three, and that it is made
up with additional cavalry and artil-
lery, just as Kurokis army was on the
Yalu.
Such a position in the days Of
Wellington and Napoleon might not
have been altogether safe to the in
terrupting army, and I notice that
some old-fashioned French officers
seem still to believe that 1t is open to
Kuropatkin to take advantage Of his
position and to brush aside his oppo-
nents as Napoleon might have done.
Many things, however, have
changed since the great Corsican's
death at ST. Helena. It would be diff
| ficult to imagine a position which,
whether technically or strategica1ly-
that is to say, for purposes Of immedi-
ate fighting or for results on the
whole campaign-tends more to the
advantage Of the Japanese and to the
disadvantage of Kuropatkin. The
Japanese descend from the mountains
or where they please, and hold the
Russians, therefore, in detail every
where. The Japanese artillery always
/ and in q large measure the infantry
also, commands any possible posi-
tons that the enemy can assume.
Behind the Russian army lies ar
/ almost impossible norass, and al

Toxic, May 19.-Plans have been
developed for the erection Of a net
work Of international interest In Man

ulated and defended by Japan. The
mikado's government will invite for
eign capitalists and traders to enter

of Japanese competence not only to

vince business men of the effectual-
ness Of that guarantee. a.,
Foreign observers are daily more
astonished at the systematic and COM

Korea Cuts Loose from Russia.

len cables the state department from
Seoul to-day as follows: u .sr@
1.-THE Korean government by - an
imperial decree issued last night has
'annulled by treaties and agreements
with the Russian government. This
annulment comprises the Yalu tim Der
concessions.
This Yalu timber concession is said
to have been one of the principal fac
tors in bringing about the present
war. So long as the Russians remain
on the western bank of the Yalu the
Japanese, tho very much, discopnted
at the failude to eVacuate Manchuria,
were not willing to plunge into hos
ti1ities, but the procurement by Rus
STA thru M. Pavloff, the resident Rus
sian agent and minister at Seoul, of a
large concession of land on the
Korean side Of the Yalu precipitated
the crisis. The Japanese felt that the
alleged timber, concession was really
intended for military purposes and
they were confirmed in their suspicion
by Russian opposition to the applica-
ton Of Japan, England and the United
States to have free ports opened at
the mouth Of the Yalu river above
at Wiju and Antung. The practical
effect of this decree is to break of
all diplomatic relations between Rus
STA and Korea. that may have sur
vived the expulsion Of M. PavloH from

several miles inland, destroyed four

captured a Russian comnissary train,
and returned with number of carts,
animals and native drivers. The Jap
