The family of Mrs. NJ. L. Bobbitt OF
Bareertown, Tenn, saw her dying and
we're powerless to save her. The most
skillful physicians and every remedy
used, failed, while consumption was

this terrible hour DR.. Kings New DIS

Cawker City, Aug. 4.-The beautiful

many of the better lectures came in
the latter part of the meeting. DR..

ever delivered in the park, while the
p m. held an audience of five thousand

the program, and the Chicago Glee

Moose About the Beleaguered
Fortress Is Tightening.
ARE POURING IN FIRE.
Japanese Big Guns Are Batter
ing Away Steadily.
Expect to Drive Russian Flet0
Out of the HarbOr.
Could Have Taken 1t Before But
Want to Save Life.

Toxic, Aug. 40 a. m.-Tne Jap
anese are hourly awaiting tidings of a
victory at Port Arthur with more in
terest and eagerness than heretofore
displayed during the war. From po-
litical, strategetical and sentimental
standpoint the possession of the Rus
sian fortress and naval base is consid-
cred of paramount Importance by the
Japanese. 1t is known that the Jap
anese moose about the besieged city is
gradually Tightening. The Japanese
guns are pouring fire into the diminish
ed circle and it is felt here that the
critical hour is fast approaching.
But the public here is ignorant of the
hour when the final assault will be
made and also of the details of the
work already done. 1t is believed that
the fire from the Japanese batteries
will compel the Russian fleet to leave
the harbor and accept battle from Ad-
miral Togo. 1t is becoming proverbial
that the Japanese infantry will go any
where and will refuse to retire no mat
ter how great their losses may be. 1t
is believed that Port Arthur could
have been taken before this time with
a heavy sacrifice of life, but it is evil
dent that the military leaders are work
ing to effect the reduction and capture
of the fortress with the minimum loss
of life. There will be no charges of
great masses of infantry until the ar
the Russian guns. A story is current to
the effect that the emperor has express
ed the wish that the capture shall be
effected with the smallest sacrifice of
life, hence the care and precision taken
by the Japanese in approaching the
Russian defense and the extensive use
of the larger engines of war with which
to clear the way.
Wolf Hill Fort Taken.
Chefoo, Aug. As P. M.-Twenty one
survivors of the British steamer Hip
sang, which was sunk by a Russian
torpedo boat in Pigeon bay on July 16
arrived here today on board the Ger
man seamer Sulberg. Among the sur
Vivors are three Europeans. They state
that Wolf Hill fort was taken by the
Japanese army before Port Arthur on
July IS. When the Hipsang commence
ed to sink the Chinese on board rushed
for the boats and the Europeans were
compelled to swim. Finally, they were
rescued by the torpedo boat and were
confined until August 2, at Port Arthur,
when they were ordered to leave in
junk which was provided for thern. At
ter embarking August 2. the junk
was picked up by a Japanese torpedo
boat which offered to tow them to Che
foo. Admiral Togo's flagship, however,
signalled a refusal and the junk pro-
ceeded alone. Later the refugees were
taken on board of the German steamer
Sulberg, which reached port today.

SAPP is ELECTED.
Cherokee Democrat at Head OF
State Committee.
Judge Babb VIII Direct the
POpulist Forces.

| w. F. Sapp of Galena was today
elected chairman of the Democratic
state committee over Senator Hugh
Farrelly of Chanute, who has been
chairman the past two years. When it
came to the test FarreIly refused to
be candidate for the place on the
ground that his business interests will
not allow him to spare the time to the
campaign which it should have.
The friends of Sapp, or rather the en-
emies 81 Farrelly, have been making a
still ,dunt for members of the state
committee, and Sapp claims he had &c
sure votes out of AZ. Farrelly was
and leaders in the party, but he made
a lot of enemies by the stand he took
for Hearst last spring, while ]. Mack
Love and his friends had not gotten
over the defeat which Farrelly gave
Love two years ago. Then, too, w. H.
L. Pepperell, who generally lines up the
Fifth district solidly for anything he
wants, didn't like it because he went
down with Love two years ago after
having been secretary of the committee
for decade or more, and he was after
Farrelly's scalp and incidentally the
defeat of Charles McCrum as secretary
of the committee.
All these influences were at work
against Farrelly and they were success
full. Farrelly's name was presented to
the committee today but he withdrew
was nominated by reclamation.
Pepperen was then elected secretary
in the same way, and L. M. Penwell of
Topeka was elected treasurer.
w. F. Sapp, the new chairman, is one
of the characters of Kansas Democracy.
Wherever a Democratic state conven-
ton meets, there Bill Sapp's plug hat
is seen in its midst. That plug hat is
a Democratic institution in Kansas.
Sapp is recognized as eccentric, but he
is popular with most of the Democrats.

arrangements will be made for opening

years the two parties have had their

ARABIA To GO FREE
After a Portion of Her Cargo Has Been
Confiscated.

VIadivostok, Aug. 4.-The prize
court has decided to confiscate such
portion of the cargo of the Portland &
Asiatic line steamer Arabia as was
consigned to Japanese ports, namely
100000 pounds of flour and the rail-
way equipment, this portion constitut-
ing less than half the bulk and weight
of her cargo, the remainder, consist
ing of 1890 pounds of flour con-
signed to Hong Kong. The confiscated
portion of the cargo is now being I'M
loaded. AS soon as this is completed
the steamer will be released.
Think That Ought to Settle 1t.
St. Petersburg, Aug. 4.-The an
nouncement in the dispatches of the
Associated Press from Vladivostok that
the steamer Arabia would be released
and only that portion of her cargo,
consigned to Japanese ports would
be held, will, it is believed, end the
Arabia incident so far as the United
States is concerned, as the United
States asked nothing more than
prompt action for the immediate re-
lease of the ship and the portion of
her cargo not declared contra band.
