The Brutality Of Football.

butted in the stomach. like that boy
In Canon City. or IL you were the
mother whose boy lay in the hospital

kicked in the back. like that young
man In Denver. -ou would not listen
with much patience 10 the people that
told you how valuable is the game OF
football in building up physical

that the evil should be separated from

Mortality In the Army.

The splendid efficiency Of the Japa.
ness medical service in the recent war
taught military surgeons the world
over that il is no longer necessary for
an army camp TO be one vast hospital.
and in no country was this lesson more
hceded than the United States. Ac-
eordin. to figures printed by the New
York Globe iiO.o70 Union soldiers
were killed in action or died from
wounds during the Civil War. and
2+s.i5s died of disease. In the war
with Spain. only a6s Americans sue.
cumbed To bullet wounds. while $50:
died OF disease. This is in the pro-
portion OF fourteen TO one. while tho
proportion In the Civil War was lit.
tie more than two to one. IL ls said
that out OF 1900 French soldiers
sent TO Madagascar in 1884,. only
twenty'nino were killed in action or

LAW URGED BY seLF.seeKeRs.
Real Animus Of Movement Agains.
Ermc jics OcservedIy Peculiar,

An adroli but plausible scheme by
which 1t is hoped to prejudice the sale
OF proprietary medicines is the propo.
sition TO prohibit the sale OF any rem
edy which contains poison" unless
each package or bottle is expressly la
bcicd Poison" Such bills are also
wei designed to impose upon men who
have no familiarity with the subject
matter, The pretense OF protecting
the public health put forth in support
of such bills Is generally the merest
Subterfuge: and whenever you hear
demand for law OF this kind II
originates with those who have
direct pecunlary interest to serve by
destroying the sale OF proprietary rem
cdies.
Some OF the best and most widely
used remedies in the world contain
some one ingredient which, IL taken
in sufficient quantities. might be poi
sonous. and yet tie preparation as
whole is not poisonous ut all. Opium.
for instance. is used in small quanti-
ties in many of the best cures for
coughs, collie, dlarrhea, etc. in tooth.
ache drops and in almost all liniments.
To require such medicines to be false
ly labeled poison" would he merely
cunning device to alarm the public
and thus bring about the destruction
of the sale of those remedies. and in
directly to compel people to procure
the medicine they want by the more
expensive method of consulting a ply
sician and getting his prescription. In
other words /. is an effort to prevent
them from getting cheaply the rene
dies which they and their fathers be-
fore them have used for many years

the imminence of a renewal of fight
Ing on large scale. General Line.
witch is pressing the japanese center
both on the line of the railway and
on the Mandarin road, but whether he
is simply feeling out Field Marshal
Cyama's strength or has assumed a
genuine offensive is not yet clear.
There is no doubt, however, that Line.
witch has made complete preparation
for big battle. All the Russian sick
and wounded who were at Hardin and
places south of there have been trans.
ported westward to Irkutsk and orders
have been given to clear the interven-
ing hospitals. The sanitary trains
have also been ordered to the front.
General Linevitch, in a dispatch
from the front dated May q, an.
nonnces that the Russian detachment
east of the railroad which on May 10
approached the village of Shahotse and
was attacked by considerable force
OF Japanese from the coal mines south
OF that place, occupied Shahotse May
~ and continued southwark May 20.
Prince Troubetzkoys detachment met
the Japanese artillery fire May II near
Changtufu station, but the Japanese
were forced to evacuate the position
and retire southwark. The prince,
May ~, advanced further southwark
and another Russian detachment May
20 exchanged rifle fire with a strong
Japanese force occupying the village
OF Armagan, about four miles west of
kinchuantSo.

Mine Wrecked.
Prescott, Ariz., May Ex-senator
Clark's United Verde copper mine and
the town Of Jerome appear to be
doomed as the result of cavein which
precipitated millions of tons of rock
into the shaft, the ground dropping
over the surface to the 700-foot level.
Cracking timbers gave the alarm and
300 miners fled for their lives and
escaped uninjured.
For several days the ground has
been settling and timbers creaking.
Finally with mighty crash the earth
caved, carrying with it the new shaft,
levels, drifts and slopes. Through fis-
sures on the surface came clouds of
sulphur smoke from that part of the
mine which has been on fire for sew
eral years.
If the damage is as bad as feared
the great property will be closed and
the existence of Jerome will be
doomed.
The hoistipg works, which are over
the mine, have settled and the ma
chinery cannot be worked. The smelt
ing plant has also been shut down.

POWERS LODGE PROTEST.
Russia Demands Chinese Indemnity at
London Price Of Silver.

London Price Of Silver.
Tientsin, May 24.-The settlement
Of the Boxer indemnity question has
been delayed by the action of the
Russo Chinese bank. Russia has chosen
to receive her portion Of the indemnity
in silver and the Russo Chinese bank
is, endeavoring to obtain payment in
Shanghai at the London price of silver
instead Of the price at Shanghai, thus
avoiding extra charges. II China con.
sents the bank will secure an advan-
tage amounting to ! per cent. The
powers have lodged q protest against
the proposition and 1t is considered
probable that the Russo Chinese bank
will not be successful in it's negotia-
lions. Ma Tung, the governor of Pc
king, representing the board of rev.
enue, did in fact consent, but his con-
sent was not ratified. If China weakly
assents the settlement of the indem-
nifty question will, be prolonged indefi-
nitely because similar advantages will
be demanded in other quarters.
