flag and portraits of Roosevelt,

ed a fine appearance. Hon. G.
F. Hansbrough introduced the
speaker with some fitting remarks,
and the audience listened with
close attention to Mr.. Gooding S
discussion OF subjects which
others had discussed here before.
He said that Idaho produced about
one third of the lead of fhe world,
and cited the fact that during the
last Democratic administration
when the duty was removed it
crippled The most important min
ing industry in the state and that
IT the same party were returned
to power and they carried out
their platform, we could expect a
repetition of those troubles. The
same thing applied to the live
stock industry, made production
Improbable, stopped production
to a great extent and left the far
mer without a market for his hay,
thus reducing the miner, the
stockman and farmer to poverty
by removing the protective tariff
from lead and wool.
lie spoke of the two-mile limit
law as a measure that had been
placed on the statute to give fair
protection to the settler against
the sheepmen, and said that Dem
ocratic speakers had been saying
early in the campaign that he
would use his influence for the re-
peal of this act, but when they
found that he had committed him
self to its defense they had used a
decision of the supreme court to
show that under some conditions
the law did not give absolute pro-
tecticn to the settler, and that
they are picturing the extreme
cases of this kind which may
come up, to show that the law is
a dead letter and that this is the
reason that he is in favor of it's re-
tention. Mr.. Gooding stated that
he is in favor of the law because
1t is just, and in the great major
ity of cases gives that protection
which the settler desires and
which the sheepmen can afford to
yield; he reminded his audience
that the sheep industry, furnishes
a very large volume of the busi-
ness of the state, and that the iso-
lated farmer and settler who is
to suffer the most from
the encroachments Of the sheep,
is the one that finds market for
his hay on the isolated meadows,
situated so far from railroads that
he could market it in no other /
way but to sell it to sbeepmen.
He brought out new phase OF .
subject of church dictation in pol |
itics by showing from the records
of the last two elections that the /
gains in the state had
been greater in some OF the coun- ]
ties where there are no Mormons
than in the southeast counties,
and that the Democratic loss in
the Mormon counties was not in
proportion to the Republican
gains as it would be if the church {

GLOOM IS DIsPElLED
Russians Glory Over Bravery
of Their Troops.
ODDS WERE TREMENDOUS
Japanese Army Was Almost
Four to One in the Fight.

ST. Petersburg May 4-The gloom which
prevailed here yesterday was almost COM
pletely dispelled today when the people
read the story of the glorious fight made
regiments against the flower Of the Mi
kado's legions at the Yalu, and of the
utter defeat of Vice Admiral Togo's new
attempt to seal the entrance to Port Ar
thur. 1t is now plain that not more than
5000 Russians were engaged in the fight
at the Yalu against the Japanese army of
total strength Of between 10000 and
10000. The losses on both sides, which are
expected to reach ], 600, and possibly 1,20C
in the Russian force and twice that num-
Der for the japanese, make it one of the
bloodiest fights in history. At the river
crossing the Japanese dead lie piled up
literally in heaps and General kuroki's
success was purchased at such a heavy
cost that the Russians are disposed to
regard it as rather a defeat than a VIC
tory for him. General Kuropatkin's dis
patch shows that the Russians fought
with such bulldog tenacity and bravery
against the overwhelming superiority of
the enemy that ,..e latter's normal VIC
tory was eclipsed by the prowess of the
cars soldiers. General Kuropatkin also
served to restore General Zassalitch to
public favor. Those who were disposed 10

Of the general staff where it is consid-
cred that he made a tactical blunder. now
say that he redeemed himself by his gal
lantry in action and the damage he in
1icted upon the enemy. About bulletin
boa rds the people were especially i'm
pressed with the desperate bayonet
charge of the Eleventh regiment. The
mental picture of the regiment advancing
against the enemy with bands and bugles
blaring and the priests with cross aloft
at the head appealed to the dramatic
sense of the Russian population as moth
ing else could. The survivors of this
heroine regiment which cut its way out
declare that the position was surrounded
by more than thousand dead Japanese.
The loss of the guns which. according
to the best informant obtainable con-
sisted of twenty-five field pieces and
eight machine guns, is considered par
ticularly unfortunate, even though they
will be of no service to the enemy on
account of the removal of their breech
blocks but members of the genera lstaff
say the science of war offers many in
stances where guns have been sacrificed
to allow infantry to retreat in good or
der. The official reports were issued too
late for comment in this mornings pa

Pierce, who is the founder and medical
director of the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, New York,
says, there is no reason why women
should suffer if they will take the
proper means to cure those Irregular
ties which lead them to a miserable
existence
Women suffer in girlhood from back
ache, spine ache and headaches, fol-
lowed by irregularities, painful or disa-
greeable and as result diseases of the
womanly organs are more common than
any one but physician in active prac-
tice could suppose 1t is often the result
of days of girlhood passed in over
crowded public schools, or worse, in
jail like boarding school for young
ladies. The brain is crowded, indigest-
does not get healthful growth, and the
plunge into social designations, followed
wifely duties and responsibilities to-
her beautiful face. The woman suffer
ing from continued nervousness, weari-
ness, wakefulness, headache and back

clan of the largest experience in the
Diseases of Women is DR.. R. V. Pierce,
of Buffalo, n. Y. The young wife
desiring the advice of a physician is
deferred tierefrom by bashfulness, and
SO are many younger women, single
women, and we should advise these to
write at once to DR.. Pierce, who will
treat their correspondence as strictly
confidential, and give them an intelli-
gent medical opinion of their cases
without cost.
After long experience in the treatment
of womanly diseases, DR.. Pierce evolved
a vegetable tonic and corrective which
he called DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton. This is purely vegetable prep
aration, without a particle of alcohol
contained in it.
Backed up by over a third of CEN
fury of remarkable and uniform cures, a
record such as no other remedy for the
diseases and weaknesses peculiar to
women ever attained the propnetOrs
and makers of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scripuon now feel fully warranted in
offering to pay $500 in legal money of
the United States for any case of Leucor-
rhea, Female Weakness, or Falling of
Womb, which they cannot cure. All
they ask is fair and reasonable trial Of
their means of cure.

MOST UNIQUE RAILROAD.

The remarkable feature is the fact that
on the trip from the coast the grade is
uniformly upward There Is no down and

climbing.
This is true of no other railroad be-
leve. In seventy-eight miles the road
reaches a hight Of 5.7oo feet. This Is
something like 4 per cent grade. and

From Cherry-BlosSom Land.
The Japanese Give Good Example.

TT is a proverb of Cherry Blossom
Il basis of all strength. Good nature
is also recognized as of great import
ance The Japanese as people are re
markable for their health, endurance,
patience and skill They have a system
of physical training which is universally
used. 1t is called the Jiu Jitzu, and by
this they regulate diet, bathing, cloth
ing, breathing, muscular development
and boxing. They have philosophy
that good hurnor is followed by good
health. They try to Danish worries, and
believe that a cheerful view of life is
good foundation for strength. Such phil
osophy could well be adopted by our
American people. We are apt TO be too
serious.
They have many sayings in Japan
similar to our own. One is that "a
woman is as old as she looks" but
Japanese woman's face is usually as I'M
wrinkled as a baby's. Although the
Japanese women do not usually have the
well developed figures of our American
women, vet they do not gather wrinkles
from WORRY nor suffer as do our Aneri-
can women. What is it that makes our
American women often pale, sallow-
faced, with dark circles under the eyes,
and very often old at forty-hve when
they should be in their prime? In more
southern climates like Japan the women
live closer to nature-they live simple,
hon1ely lives and do not worry because
they cannot dress as extravagantly as
their neighbors, nor do they have the
ambitions and jealousies of their neigh
bors to contend with. They eat whole
some food and do not practice high
living To keep young a woman must
keep healthy and strong. When she is
run down with the pains and ills which
come periodically among our women
kind, she adds years to her looks,
wrinkles develop, and the woman really
suffers untold agony There is no real
need for this if she will practice right
living, recognize her bodily needs, prac-
tice hygiene all of which knowledge
she can obtain from soule reliable med
