St. Petersburg, May 3o.-At the
Admiralty this morning absolutely
nothing is known of the naval bat
tie in the Far East except the news
contained III the dispatches Of the
Associated Press. The general i'm
preston produced by the cable
message is undoubtedly extremely
gloomy. While Admiral Roiestven-
sky was expected to pay the price
for reaching his haven at Vladivo-
stok, the complete loss Of two Of
his best four battleships besides
several other warships with heavy
damage to other ships, it is admit
ted, spells disaster Unless the Jap
anese suffered correspondingly.
For this reason news from Vladivo-
stok, where communication with
the Russian fleet will be established
is awaited with intense anxiety.
The Admiralty calculates that
wireless communication with Vladi-
vostok might be established as ear
ly as this afternoon or tonight,

London. May 3o.-According to
the correspondent of the Daily Mail
at Seoul, Korea, early On Saturday
morning, Vice Admiral Togo with
practically all the powerful fighting
ships of the japanese navy was at
Masampho, Korea, when wireless
signals from his scouts between Tus
and Quelpart Islands announced the
of the Russian feet in
full forle.
A few hours later the scouts re-
ported that the Russians were not
ascending the western channel, as
had been anticipated, but they were
coming up the north of the Island
and when he doubled the island he
saw the Russians coming in two
columns. He then brought terrific
fire to bear on the flank of the port
column, and as the Russians fell
back into disorder, he forced them
steadily eastward toward the Jap
anese coast, where they were at
tackled BY every vessel that flew the
japanese flag.
Repeated torpedo attacks were
delivered, some Of them with the
greltest success.
The vessels that escaped, th'
correspondent says, viii probably
be- able to reach Vladivostok and HI
adds that other operations of th'
utmost importance are proceeding

About the ancient swimming hole
Still boyhood fancies linger,
And memory toward that backward goal
Points oft its chubby finger.
The place where boys would sally when
A crowd had been collected,
But, thinking over it since then,
l can see that it was about as insan-

and malaria as could nave been Sc

In bathing suits that nature made.
Each in succession diving,
Concocting meanneSS, I'm afraid,
To tease those last arriving.

From pleasures measure picking
Its sweetest fruits. then some back way
We'd sneak home, well knowing that for
going in swimming when we were
supposed to be working in the gar
den we'd get an old time licking.
Those days are gone, 1 rather think.
And now, no longer swimming,
l wander often to the brink
And gaze into the trimming
Tho old hole where we used to dive,
Down in the water murky.
I wonder we got out alive
And. say. I wouldn't jump in there now

The vacancy left by the resignation
of the president will be filled at the

CHICAGO, Jan. 21.-Two of the
forts of the Western Jockey club were
captured today by the forces of Cen
eral Corrigan. The first engagement
was at st. Louis, where the Union
park works were carried by the stock
holders of that club. The other forti-
fication to strike it's colors to the at
tacking force was the outpost at Nash
vile. Word of its surrender came
from Matt Winn, chief of scouts, who
has been seeking out weak spots in the
Nashville position for some time.

YOU CAN INTEREST HIM
ANY Man Over Fifty

You can interest any man over fifty
years of age in anything that will
make him feel better, because while
he may not as yet have any positive
organic disease he no longer feels the
buoyancy and vigor of twenty-five nor
the freedom from aches and pains he
enjoyed in earle" years, and he very
naturally examines with interest any
proposition looking to the improv-
ment and preservation of his health.
He will notice among other things
that the stomach of fifty is a very
different one from the stomach he pos
sessed at twenty-five. That greatest
care must be exercised as to what is
eaten and how much of it, and even
with the best of care. there will be in
creasing digestive weakness with ad-
vancing years.
A proposition to perfect or improve
the digestion and assimilation of food
Is one which interests not only every
man of fifty but every man, woman
and child of any age, because the
whole secret of good health, good
blood strong nerves, is to have
stomach which will promptly and
thoroughly digest wholesome food be-
cause blood, nerves, brain tissue and
every other constituent of the body
are entirely the product of digestion,
and no medicine or "health" food can
possibly create pure blood or restore
shaky nerves, when a weak stomach
is replenishing the daily wear and tear
of the body from a mass of ferment-
ing half-digested food.
No, the stomach itself wants help
and in no roundabout way, either: it
wants direct, unmistakabe assistance,
such as is given by one or two Stuart s
Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal.
These tablets cure stomach trouble
because their use gives the stomach a
chance to rest and recuperate; one of
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets contains
digestive elements sufficient to digest
5000 grains of ordinary food, such as
bread, meat, eggs, etc.
The plan of dieting is simply an
other name for starvation, and the
use of prepared foods and new tangled
breakfast foods simply makes matters
worse, as any dyspeptic who has tried
them knows.
AS DR.. Bennett says, the only reason
/ can imagine why Stuart's Dyspepsfa
Tablets are not universally used bv
everybody who is troubled In any wav
with poor digestion is because manv
people seem to think that because q
medicine is advertised or Is sold in
drug stores, or is protected by a trade
mark must be a humbug, whereas as
a matter of truth any druggist who Is
observant knows that Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets have cured more people
Of Indigestion, heartburn, heart trou-
Bile. nervous prostration and rundown
condition generally than all the patent
medicines and doctors prescriptions
FOR stomach trouble combined.

AVER JOCKEY IS
VICTIM OF PLOT
M'MAH0N'S FRIENDS AROUSED
IN RIDERS BEHALF
Declare Deposed steepIeehase Jockey
Has indicated Himself and Failed
of Promised Reinstatement at
Ascot Park

Despite the fact that Judge Hamilton
has been overwhelmed with evidence to
disprove the charges made to him that
Jockey Mcmahon was intoxicated pre-
vious to his ride on Flea in the steeple-
chase race of Friday, January 10, and
the further fact that the presiding Of
fetal at Ascot park gave assurances to
the effect that if competent persons tes-
tilted to McMahon's sobriety previous
to his mount of that day, the popular
little rider would be reinstated the boy
is still on the ground with no prospect
of the public demand for his reinstate-
ment being met with consideration, ac-
cording to persons interested in the
welfare of Mcmahon.
The intimation which has gained cir
culation of late to the effect that there
Is something behind the real charges
made against Mcmahon are met with
firm denial by the boys friends, who
assert that they are ready to face and
disprove any charges which may be
brought up.
Efforts made by The Herald to gain
an expression on the matter from Judge
Hamilton have been met with the dec
laration that the patrons of Ascot park
had no right to inquire into the mat
ter, and a refusal to enlighten the pub
lie as to the reasons for denying the
jockey an opportunity to defend HIM
self and his ride on Flea.
Horse Witness for Jockey
That the horse was not pulled by
Mcmahon but was unequal to the i'm
post of 15S pounds under which he was
laboring, was undeniably demonstrated
by the animal himself a couple of days
after, when with but $50 pounds up, he
was disgracefully beaten over the hur-
dies by Nitrate after being backed
heavily, Flea finishing bad second
ahead of a horse just recovered from
fever. That day it was stated that
if Mcmahon could produce a compe-
tent witness to attest to his sobriety
previous to the race in question, he
would be reinstated.
Mcmahon secured letters from two
local business men who saw and spoke
to him previous to the race and who
had big bets on Flea, testifying to Nc
Mahons sobriety and declaring them
selves satisfied with the ride put up
on the horse. These letters were sent
to Judge Hamilton. John Brink, pro
prietor of the Saddlerock restaurant,
yesterday appeared before Judge Ham
ilton in the stand at Ascot park and
testified to McMahon's sobriety, but
the presiding official did not intimate
whether he was satisfied.
A number of jockeys and Wallets and
Clerk of the Scales Pomeroy declare
Mcmahon was sober up to the time of
the race, and no one who will declare
to the contrary has appeared in the
matter.
The delay of action in the case of
coupled with the reinstate-
ment of another jockey, the offense
charged against whom was tangible at
least, has stirred the friends of Nc
Mahon to determined action and they
