Digestion furnishes nutrition for the
nerve centers. Properly digested food
furnishes these reservoirs of life with
vitality which leads to strong, steady
nerves, and thus nourishes life.
Peruna is in great favor among
women, especially those who have voca-
tions that are trying to the nerves.
Pcruna furnishes the lasting vigor
for the nerves that such people need.
Thousands of testimonials from
women IN all parts of the United States
are being received every year. Such
unsolicited evidence surely proves that
Peruna is without an equal as nerve
tonic and vital invigorator.

A NARROW ESCAPE
MRS. MAsTERsON FALLS UNDER
TRAIN WHILE MOVING.
Jumped to Station Platform and Then
Rolled Backward Alongside
The Moving Wheels.

People standing about the depot
Wednesday evening witnessed a scene
that narrowly escaped being a horrible
accident. Mrs. A. Masterson, an elder
ly lady of this city, had boarded the
passenger train for the purpose of speak
ing to friend. The train started and
the lady jumped to the platform, losing
her footing as she did so. She rolled of
the platform near the rail. and but for
the presence of brakeman, would un-
doubtedly have been crushed beneath
the wheels. He held her close to the
ground and Just as the last car passed,
swung to its rear, when the lady, now
liberated, in her effort to rise, rolled over
the rail directly on the track, thing
she would in all probability have done
had she not been held. A slight scratch
on the face was her only injury.
1t was a miraculous escape and the
dangerous position of the lady sent a
thrill of horror through the crowd of on
lockers. Mrs. Masterson did not ap-
pear to be much frightened when first
rescued, but after all was over and she
fully realized how near she came to be-
ing killed, she nearly collapsed under
the strain to which her nerves had been
subjected in the terrible ordeal.

Oku's Headquarters, Feb. 2.-The
Russian force remains opposite the Jap
anese left. Occasional shots are fired
but no serious attacks are attempted. 1t
is evident that both armies are preparing
for battle as soon as the weather mod
crates. 1t is believed the present period
of cold weather is the last of the season.
The five days combat which will go
down in history as the battle of the Hun
river was fought out on seemingly un-
ending plain which is broken only by
southern mountains around Yentai, the
solitary eminence Of which is the Liao-
yang tower of bloody memory. The
bright glare of the sun reflected from a
dazzling expanse of snow was painful to
the eyes and it was with difficulty that
one could follow here and there black
streaks marking the Russian columns or
waves in the skirmlsh lines marching
against what resembled dull gray rocks,
but which in reality were the villages of
Lidiatoun and Tanlepu and the hamlet
of Sandepas, Fashioned by Chinese de-
fenses and converted by the Japanese
into veritable fortresses.
Exposed to the severity of Manchurian
winter, mounds of earth had become
like granite and was impenetrable as the
steel sides Of modern battleship. For
five days Russian soldiers hurled them.

artillery pounded them until the frosty
air reverberated with the thunder of
cannon, the din of bursting shells and
the rattle of musketry, but neither steel
pointed shell nor nickel bullets availed
against the frozen earthworks. The
gunners actually wept with despair at
the impotence of the attacks. Mortar
batteries came up at gallop in the hope
of demolishing the Notifications. Night
and day the stream Of Shots was poured
against the earthworl1s. but it had little
effect. The men seemed Indifferent to
hunger and cold, which later reached
Arctic intensity. Their fingers, hands
and feet we're benumbed, while stinging
snow and dust blinded them.
The slightest wound caused excruciat-
ing pain. Warm blood no sooner ex-
uded from lacerated flesh than it began
to freeze. The wounded could not be
left exposed, and If they did not receive
attention within an hour they died. The
surgeons, their assistants and nurses
were almost powerless in the bandaging
of wounds, for they we're obliged to wear
leather gloves or mittens in order to re-
sist the cold. The men seemed to be
living again the horrors of the winter
campaign Of 1872 against the Turks.

IT'S MITCHELL AGAIN
FEDERAL GRAND JURY ADDS
BRIBERY TO INDICTMENT.
State Senator Brownell Is Accused of
Perjury Charges Against Him
Involve Lands in Eastern Ore.

Interest in the land fraud cases ia
again at fever heat by the announce
ment by the federal grand jury of the
indictment of Senator Mitchell on an
other charge of bribery. The grand
jury also indicted State Senator George
@. Brownell on the charges OF subordi-
nation and perjury.
The indictment against Mitchell al
leges that, while the senator from this
state to the federal congress, accepted
on seven different occasions sums of
money aggregating $4,000 from timber
dealer named Frederick r. Kribs, for
services rendered in, it is alleged, in
cluding Congressman Hermann, then
commissioner Of the general land Office,
to expedite, make special order OF and
approve certain applications for public
lands and recommending issuing patents
to lands located in the Roseburg land
district. The indictment makes the
charges that in consideration of his
services Kribs gave Mitchell two checks
for $500 each on the Roseburg bank on
February ID, 1902; two checks on June
IA, 1902, for $1,000 each; one check
January 4. 1904, for $500, and one
check October s, 1904, for $500.
The indictment against Senator
Brownell involves land in the same dis
trict in eastern Oregon, in which forged
applications for surveys we're made and
upon which ex-Surveyor General Henry
