RUSSIANS BOLD BLUFF
Drove of Japs With Heavy Fire Of
Blank Cartridges

BY Associated Press.
CHEFOO, Jan. 3.-Captain Kartzow,
commanding the Russian torpedo boat
destroyer flotilla, which escaped from
Port Arthur and entered the harbor
of Chefoo Monday morning, tells a
curious story of "bluffing" by the Rus
slams at the beginning of the war,
when, although there was plenty of
ammunition at Port Arthur, there was
none on the ships under Golden hill
save blank cartridges used for salutes.
On three occasions when the Japa-
nese warships approached at long
range, the Russians opened a noisy
fire with blank ammunition, the Japa
nese in each instance retiring.
Prisoners taken by the Russians re-
lated that later after the Russian ships
had received ammunition, the Japa
nese learned of the ruse and were
greatly chagrined that they had not
taken advantage of the opportunity.
"Our Defense" said Captain Kart
zow, "has been replete with such make
shifts"

therefore, I recommend to the legisla-
ture to provide a sufficient sum for the
support and maintenance of the ma
tional guard of California, and to rem
der it, already reasonably efficient, still
more so.
ut is not a pleasant duty to recom-
mend the expenditure of large sums of
money upon state prisons 1t is natu-
raj to feel that money will be better
spent in supporting schools and col
leges, or in building public highways,
or in any one of a dozen other ways.
Nevertheless, it is a shortsighted policy,
because in the long run very costly
one, to support prisons which foster
crime rather than abate it, and enlight-
ened statesmanship demands that Cali
fornia shall do what other states have
done, and spend money enough upon
the prisons to equip them properly.
feel it my duty to say that the pres
ent session of the legislature ought not
to close without substantial begin
ming having been made In the neces-
sary work of prison reform"
Referring to the reform schools the
governor says both the institutions at
lone and Whittier are inadequately
supplied with teachers and apparatus.
and he recommends increased appro-
priations that they may be made
agricultural in theory and practice.
The management of the Whittier
school is absolved from deliberate in
tent to convert public property to pri-
vate use, but laxity in methods In adj
ministration is condemned.
A resolution was adopted granting
the members of the assembly $25 con-
tingent expenses and mileage.
Assemblyman Frank Duryea report
ed that as chairman of a special COM
mittee he had notified the governor of
the organization of the assembly and
the governor would soon communicate
with the assembly.

A Great Physiologist
Once Said That the Way to Keep tho
Stomach Healthy Is to
Exercise II.
But He Did Not Tell How to Make Il
Healthy.

The muscles OF the body can be de-
veloped by exercise until their strength
has increased manifold, and a proper
amount of training each day will ac-
complish this result, but 1t is some-
what doubtful whether you can in
crease the digestive powers of the
stomach by eating indigestible food in
order to force 1t to work.
Nature has furnished us all with h
perfect set of organs, and If they are
not abused they will attend to the
bushes required of them. They need
no abnormal strength.
There is lirnit to the weight a
man can lift, and there is also a limit
to what the stomach can do.
The cause of dyspepsia, indigestion
and many similar diseases is that the
stomach has been exercised too much
and it is tired or worn out. Not ex-
ercise but rest lis what 1T needs.
To take something into the stomach
that will relieve 1t from it's work for
Ia short time-se'mething to digest the
food-will give 1t rest and allow /,
time to regain its strength.
The proper aid to the digestive orr
gans is Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
which cure dyspepsia, Indigestion. gas
on the stomach and bowels, heartburn,
palpitation of the heart, and all stom-
ach diseases.
! Rest and IMMIGRATION Is what the
stomach gets when you use Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, for one grain Of the
active principle in them is sufficient to
digest 5000 grains of food.
The tablets increase the flow of gas
trio Juice, and prevent fermentation,
acidity and sour eructions.
Do not attempt to stanve out dys-
pepsia. You need all your strength.
The common sense method is to d.
gest the food fer the stomach and give
1t rest.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not
make the cure. but enable the organs
to throw off unhealthy conditions.
Perfect digestion means perfect
health for under these conditions only
do the different organs Of the body
work right and receive the building up
material found In pure blood.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
natural remedy and are a specific FOR
stomach troubles. The ablest phys
icians prescribe. them.

and are composed OF fruit and .vege-
table ewtracts. golden seal and .pepsin.

STATE SELLS LAND.
Illinois Central Purchase Made Under
Abandoned River Beds.

Special to Times Republlcan.
Council Bluffs, Dec. An Interests
ing purchase has been made under the
act Of 1904, general assembly, relating
to abandoned river beds, which law
has resulted in numerous injunction
suits to restrain the sale of land in the
cutoff district across the river.
Nine acres Of territory in Crescent
township, most Of which Is In the bed
of Boyer lake, has been purchased
from the state of Iowa by the Illinois
Central railroad through Its vice pres
ident John C. yelling, Of Chicago. and
deed signed by Governor A. B. Cum
Minis and Secretary Of State w. b.
Martin, has been placed on record
here, conveying title to yelling for the
sum of $2S9.5s.
When the Illinois Central applied for
purchase of the tract in Crescent
township. which is strip 200 feet
wide with the railroad tracks in the
middle, 1t also had a survey made thru
Big Lake, embracing a similar strip
of about the same area. Big lake. how
ever, is claimed by the park board OF
Council Bluffs as public ground be-
longing to the tcity's domain under a
grant I!OHl COuSIeSS SWShey SeiS
ago. The board has secured an In
junction to prevent the state from
selling any part of the lake. The 1lli-
nois Central now has its right of way
over Big lake by virtue of an agree
ment with the park commissioners.
Attorneys for the Illinois Central
state that the purpose of the road In
applying for land along its right OF
way was merely to forestall any 9TH
ers that might seek title to 1t, thus
depriving the railroad company OF its
right of way. The law is peculiarly
constructed and permits the first APP
plicant to buy any land formerly in the
bed of stream by paying the APP
praised value. So far as Big lake is
concerned the Illinois Central will pro-
badly be satisfied to continue the pres
ent arrangement with the park board,
title remaining in that body.
Th appraised price fixed on the
whole acreage which the railroad COM
pany proposed to buy from the state
was $625.s1. The greater part of this
was to be paid for the Big lake tract,
had its purchase been concluded.
Vice President yelling holds in his
name as trustee several hundred acres
of Illinois Central land north Of Coun-
Gil Bluffs. This land was bought from
private owners when the road entered
this city and it is not affected by the
act of 1904,
