Likes Cellar Better Than Pit.

Harvesting potatoes comes at very
busy season for the diversified farmer.
For this reason l have put my potatoes
into the cellar until the rush is little
over. l like the cellar better than the
pit, for the reason that | have access
at all times and can take advantage of
any rise in the market | can haul the
potatoes direct without any trouble of
uncovering pits. Then, too, after the
ground is frozen it is Il big job to open
the pit. have marketed my potatoes
several years with the thermometer
20 to p degrees below the freezing
point without any loss. This would be
impossible if potatoes had to be taken
out of the pit. says a correspondent of

So uniformly successful has Or. Pierce's
Pavorite Prescription proven in all forms
of Female Weakness, Prolapsus, or Falling
of Womb, and Leucorrhea, that, after over
third of a century's experience in curing
the worst cases of these distressing and
facilitating ailments Dr. Pierce now feels
fully warranted in offering to pay $500 in
cash for any case of these diseases which
he cannot cure.
IT STANDS ALoNE.-The uFavorite Pre-
scriptiou stands alone, as the one and
only remedy for these distressingly COM
mon forms of weakness, possessed of such
positively specific curative properties as to
warrant its makers in proposing, and
binding themselves to forfeit, as we, the
unde rsigned proprietors of that wonderful
remedy hereby do, to pay the sum of $500
in legal money of the United States in any
case Of the above diseases in which after a
fair and reasonable trial of our treatment,
we fail to cure. No other medicine for
the cure of woman's peculiar ailments Is
backed by such a remarkable guarantee /,
no other medicine for woman's ills is pos
sessed of the unparalleled curative prop
critics that would warrant its manufacturers
in making such an offer no other remedy
has such a record of cures on which to base
such a remarkable offer.
Therefore, insist on having Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription and turn your back
on any INSCRIPTIONS dealer who would
insult your intelligence by attempting to
foist upon you some inferior substitute
under the plea that "it is just as good"
Insist on having the article which has a

TOday's Telegraphic News
Peace Prospects.

Peace Prospects.
st. Petersburg, June 3D. well IN
formed circles it is believed that the
rumors that have been spread ABROAD
giving such hopeful outlook Tor peace
on the strength of the negotiations, are
exaggerated, Russia's official views, 1t is
pointed out, are not yet known, and
nothing has been established except her
willingness to meet japanese plenipo-
tentiaries. Peace, it is believed, is still
very doubtful. Protests are being re-
ceived constantly from many quar-
tiers against ending the war. The OBJ
jections come mainly from military
quarters. Don Cossacks especially de
clare they are unwilling to recognize any
settlement.
London, June 13.-Eurooe is entirely
without information in regard to the
progress of the peace negotiations.
Washing on is now the center of the
worlds news. The papers are flied
with Washington kilograms dealing with
the all important subject.
The continued optimism of the Amerl-
can government in the ultimate success
of the negotiations has weakened the
skeplicism which has prevailed in
Europe. The feeling is now growing
that President Roosevelt will be able
to bring the negotiations which have
been undertaken at his initiative toa sue
cessful conclusion.
London, June 13.-Business was re-
sumed on the stock exchange after the
triple holiday with a cheerful and conf
dent sentiment, the iorthnightly settle
ment being influenced by general opin-
ion that peace in now practically assured,
subsequently the market shaded some
what on continental selling on the Mo-
roccan incident.
Paris. June l3-Russian securities had
an unprecedented rise of 2 points in the
Bourse today on the strength of the peace
negotiations which have been initiated.
Nevertheless, uneasiness is felt in Off
cial circles, where doubt is expressed
for the first time as to the success of the
peace effort. Private dispatches which
have been received here convey the i'm
preston that Japan is merely pretend
ing to desire peace in order to win the
appreciation of the world, when, as a
matter of fact, she does not want the war
to end at this time. Japan, it is said,
has determined to insist upon peace
terms which she knows Russia cannot
accept, and meeting of plenipotentiaries
will be without result.
St. Petersburg, June lS.-Russia now
wants only peace, but an alliance with
Japan She seeks not a partial, condi-
tional association like England's agree
ment, which will expire by limitation in
a year and a-half, but thorough poten-
tial alliance, offensive, as well as de-
fensive, one that shall rule the destinies
of Asia.

Girl Fights BurguIar on Roof

Shenandoah, Pa, June l3.-Alone al
her home Sunday night, Miss Ida Nader,
pretty young society girl of this city,
heard noise upstairs, and, going to in
vestigate, found two masked burglars al
work in her room, one of whom jumped
through window at her approach.
Setting down her lamp, Miss Nader
grappled with the other fellow and tore
the mask from his face. The burglar,
hampered with a load of silverware,
tried to escape with his plumber, but the
girl was getting the best Of it; so, drop
ping his load, he threw her to the floor
and jumped through the window upon
an adjoining roof.
Not to be vanguished so easily, the
plucky girl followed and caught his coat
as he was about to leap to the ground.
Holding to him for dear life, she scream
ed for aid, but soon became exhausted
and was forced 10 re!inquish her hold,
and the fellow, jumping from the roof,
disappeared in the darkness.

drink. As she was fastening the door,
when she went into the house again,

the change hits especially hard inasmuch

Rioters and Jews Clash.

Warsaw, June l3.-Martial law has
been declared at Brest-Litovsk where
fierce fighting has been in progress be-
tween Jews and rioters. The disturb
ances, which started in the Jewish
quarter, have spread all over the town.
The soldiers in the town have not been
able to put down the uprising and Gen.
Ostrogradski has been sent from st.
Petersburg to take charge of the situa-
ton and preserve order. The troubles
which began on Sunday were started by
reservists who arrived there in a
famished condition, as they had not
been fed on long railway journey.
They at once began raid on grocery
stores owned by Jews. The Jews de-
Tended their property and fight result
ed. Christians joined with the reser-
visits in attacking the Jews and whole
street of Jewish stores was devastated.
In the first clash it is reported that "A
Jews were killed and SO persons, mostly
Jews, we're wounded. The Jews, how
ever, inflicted some damage on the assaii-
ants, a number of whom were wounded.
The fighting continued yesterday. The
Jews organized for their own protection
and secured arms When tie attack of
the soldiers was resumed, the Jews fred.
The soldiers replied with volleys. A
miniature pitch'd battle followed in
which many were killed and wounded
on both sides. Troops which were sent
to quel the outbreak fired into the mass
OF fighting men, and temporarily restored
order An investigation following the
firing by the regular troops disclosed
the fact that most OF the men killed by
ther.fre we're Jews. After the pitched
battle the rioters separated into small
bands and kept up their depredations
throughout the town. 1t is feared that
there will be other conflicts of a serious
nature unless General Ostrogradski is
able to restore order Immediately upon
his arrival there. Atpresent panic pre-
walls among the 1000 inhabitants of
the town.
