STATES ATTORNEY.

Judge G E. Smith was nominated for
this very important position. Two
years ago Mr. Smith retired from office,
having served four years, and was there
fore barred from longer continuous SER
vice, with record that was credtable
and one to which Mr.. Smith and the
people ofthe county irrespective of party
affiliation may we'll point to with pride,
as his services during that period were
of very vital importance and benefit to
the financial interests of the county.
Judge Smith was born in the State OF
New York in 1858, came West in 1878
and moved to Custer county in the fall
of 1885, where he has since continuously
resided. He is good lawyer, careful
and painstaking and conservative, and
makes it a point to be right on every
proposition of law before advising his
clients. He was admitted to practice in
1892, since which time he has been ad-
mitted to the State supreme court, also
the circuit and district and supreme
court of the United States, and before
the Pension and Interior departments.
He has served the people of Custer
county six years as county judge and
four years as states attorney, and has at
all times proven himselfto be a studious
and careful lawyer, and his prior record
justifies US in saying that he will make
competent, honest and good states at.
torney for two years to come, and be
should receive the unanimous support
of the people of Custer county. No mis-
take will be made in voting for G. E.
Smith for states attorney.

WAR NEWS AS THE
LONDON PAPERS GOT 1T.

London, July 26.-War news in the
newspapers this morning is most
scant, but all reports indicate that the
Russians have suffered serious check
in the vicinity of Tatchekiao.
The Daily Telegraph's Lao Yang cor
respondent, telegraphing Sunday, re-
ports that Tatchekiao was definitely
evacuated after a severe engagement,
which was intended to retard Jap
anese flank movement on Lao Yang,
but the dispatch does not give the
place of the battle or the date.
The correspondent at Tien Tsin of
the Standard reports incessant fighting
since Thursday around Tatchekiao and
kai Chou, in which the Japanese were
steadily forcing the Russians back.
The dispatch from Lao Yang to a
news agency here reporting heavy
fighting there all of Sunday, it would
appear, refers to this battle, and from
this and other reports. it seems that
some 10000 Russians were engaged, and
that the battle, to a great extent, was
an artillery duel, no mention being
made of a cavalry charge, although the
ground is fairly open and level.

GREAT BRITAIN WANTS
S5,00O,0O0 FROM RUSSIA.

st. Petersburg, July 25.-Great Brit
aims bill for damages against Russia
for demurrage and other indemnities
connected with the arrest, detention
and Smelling of British ships in the
Red sea will probably be very heavy.
Already it is roughly estimated at $5,-
OO0, 900.
The popular version of the Red sea
ENHANCEMENT which has so embar-
raised the Russian Foreign Office is
that it grew out of Grand Duke Alex
ander Mikhailovch, head of the De-
partment of Mercantile Marine, prac-
tically taking matters into his own
hands, and commissioning the vessels
of the volunteer fleet which had pass
ed through the Dardanelles bound for
the Far East to hoist the Russian war
flag and seize merchantmen i'm the Red
sea.
1t is understood that the Emperor
has censured his brother-in- law Tor
taking a step of such gravity without
consulting the Foreign Office. There
is a general relief, however at the fact
Grand Duke Alexander Mikhailovich's
precipitate action has not resulted in
irreparable complications. The blum
der of the Grand Duke is attributed to
his compare tive youth and 4nexperi-
ence in affairs of state. He Is
known in the United States, as he was
first officer on board the armored
cruiser Dmitri Donskoi on the occa-
sion OF the visit of the Russian squad
ron to Hampton Roads and New York

STORY THAT DAVIS WILL
WE'D WOMAN OF 70.

Philadelphia, July Pa special to
the North American from Washing
ton, D. c., says:
News comes from Shepherdstown,
w. Va, that ex-senator Henry G.
Davis, the Democratic vice presiden-
tial candidate, will in the fall marry
Mrs. Katherine Reynolds. widow of
DR.. John Reynolds of Shepherdstown.
Mrs. Reynolds is 70 years old, while
Senator Davis is so.
There is youthful romance back
of the story. When Mr.. Davis was a
railroad brakeman, he became suit
or for her hand. He proposed to the
young lady, whose maiden name was
Katherine Cushwa. She was willing,
but the family, which was one of the
most prominent in Washington coun-
ty, Maryland, objected because he was
only a poor railroad man. Davis dis
appeared and she later married DR..
Reynolds.
Mrs. Reynolds has two grown up
children, and a half dozen grand chill
dren.

PREMIER SPEAKS OF
THE RUSSIAN SEIZURES.

London. July 25.-Answering ques-
tions based on the seizure of ships by
Russian volunteer fleet steamers, Pre-
mier Balfour, in the House of Com
mons. to-day said:
The difficulties arising from these
captures deal with a problem which
has given and is still giving the gov
eminent great anxiety. but of which 1
may say the signs portend a favorable
issue. More than that, I think it would
be inexpedient to say"
With reference to the question
whether Great Britain was bound un-
der the Suez canal convention to allow
a British vessel taken as a prize to
pass through the canal, the Premier
SAID tnat the government was bound to
allow prizes of war to pass through
the canal.

Africa these beans are much valued
by the natives for the curious property
they have of exposing witches.

WHY HOT WEATHER MAKES WOMEN NERVOUS.
Suggestions by DR.. Hartman.-How
to Combat the Nervous Depression
Incident to Warm Weather.

Nervousness is very common among
women. This condition iss due to
anaemic nerve centers. The nerve CEN
tiers are the reservoir for nerve vital
lty. These centers become bloodless
for the want of proper nutrition.
This condition is especially notice
able during the warm season. Every
summer an army of invalids are pro-
duced as a direct result of weak
nervous systems.
This could easily be overcome by
the use of Peruna. Peruna strikes at
the root of the trouble by correcting
the digestion. Perfect digestion fur
nishes increased nutrition for the
nerve centers. Perfectly digested food
gives these reservoirs of life a vitality
which creates strong, steady nerves,
and in this manner fortifes and nour-
ishes life.
Miss Blanche Grey, a prominent
young society woman of Memphis
Tenn. in a recent letter from ia Ala
bama street. writes: ITO a society
woman whose nervous force is often
taxed to the utmost from lack of rest
and irregular meals, l know of moth
ing which is of so much benefit as Pc
runa. 1 took it few months ago when
felt my strength giving way, and
it soon made itself manifest in giving
me new strength and health. Miss
Blanche Grey.
Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has found
permanent use in so many homes is
that it contains no narcotic of any
kind. Peruna is perfectly harmless.
It can be used any length of time with
out acquiring a drug habit. Peruna
does not produce temporary results. 1t
is permanent in its effect.
1t has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by
removing the cause of catarrh. There
are a multitude of homes where Pc
runa has been used off and on Tor
twenty years. Such a thing could not
be possible if Peruna contained any
drugs of a narcotic nature.
At this season of the year we are
peculiarly liable to infiammations of
the stomach and bowels. 1t is the part
of wisdom to learn how to cut them
short and in the easiest and quickest
manner. Peruna does this by its pc
culiar power over all forms of ca
tarrhal troubles.

OFFENDING STEAMERS
ARE ORDERED HOME.

st. Petersburg, July 25.-The Asso-
ciated Press is informed that the Rus
sian volunteer fleet steamers Smolensk
and St. Petersburg have already been
ordered home, and that instructions
for them to return have been cabled
The assurances given Great Britain
on this point are declared to be sat-
isfactory.
The instructions given the command
ers of the vessels repeat the orders
heretofore announced in these dis
patches, directing them to refrain from
further attempts to stop merchant
men either in the Red sea or the Med
iterraean.
The decision not to insist upon the
war status of the ships was probably
reached at the conference held Sat
urday. The two ships may be brought
to the Baltic and formally recommis-
stoned.
Russia has reiterated her assurances
that all vessels seized pending the re-
ceipt of instructions by the captains of
the Smolensk and St. Petersburg shall
at once be released.

under the charge of taking $1i4,000
from the First National Bank OF
Asheville while its president, was
turned over to District Attorney Hol-
TON for cross examination to-day at
noon. Mr.. Holton subjected the de-
fendant to a rigorous examination.
When asked concerning several of the
transactions concerning his indebted
ness to the bank, the witness replied
that he did not remember.
In reference to "A letter to the Cen

his income was $4,000 1t was under

posted in the bank should be subject
TO check. At this juncture. Judge

that you had an agreement with your
board of directors whereby no money
you deposited was to go to reducing
your indebtedness"

the witness, but we had to live"

The district attorney ATTEMPTED to
draw from the witness an admission
that the bank was insolVent by reason
Of the fact that the combined over
drafts of the president and cashier
were in excess of the capital stock. but
Breese contended that the bank was
solvent and perfectly able to meet all
obligations.
When Mr.. Holton asked why certain
notes were good, the witness replied:
Because l was behind them"
Didn't you testify that the failure
Of the bank left you without a dollar?'
asked the district attorney.
Il did" replied the witness.
Then you were no better than Mr..
Kemp or any of the otheres who sign
ed those notes?' (Kemp was the COL
ored carriage driver whose signature
was attached to several notes)
The district attorney had hardly
concluded his remark before the FIVE
attorneys for Breese were on their feet
protesting against the manner of the
cross examination of the district at
Torney. The court said that such
questions were out of order.
"NO Personal Violence"
J. S. Adams of counsel for the de-
tense arose and said:
May it please your honor l think ii
would quiet the nerves of the witness
II the court could assure him that he
Is safe from any personal violence at

With smile. Judge Keller stated
that he was sure the defendant was in
no danger.
Attorneys on both sides agreed in

MAY DEMAND RELEASE
OF STEAMER ALLANT0N.

London, July 25.-Premium Balfour
received a deputation of the House of
Commons Shipping Committee to-day
with reference to the seizure of the
British steamer Allanton. The mem
bers alleged that the grounds for her
seizure were untenable, and that her
immediate release might fairly be de-
manded.
After hearing the arguments. Mr.
Balfour said the facts laid before him
seemed to constitute good grounds for
representations to the Russian gov
eminent, but whether there was a
right to demand the instant release
OF the Allanton was another matter
There was no analogy with the case Of
the Malaoca, which was seized by an
unauthorized vessel. Mr.. Balfour
promised to make representations to
st. Petersburg, to hasten Russian ac-
tion in the Allanton's case.
