MONTOUR AMERICAN FRANK C. ANGLE. Proprietor. Danville, Pa., June 2, 1004. ANOTHER VICTORY FOR JAPS LONDON, June 1. —A special dis patch from Home says a telegram has been received there from Tokio report ing thft General Kuroki has complete ly defeated General Kuropatkin's forces near Sumeutse (probably Sai uiatsza or Simatsi). All the Russian position east of Hai Oheng have been abandoned. Accord ing to the telegram several guns have been taken and whole squadrons ot Cossacks captured. It is possible the news received in Home refers to the fighting reported in last night's Press despatches from Liao Yang and St. Petersburg. These did not indicate a general engagement but showed that a series of sharp on - gageinents had taken place east ot Siuiatsi, lasting from the morning of May 27 until daylight May :iO, which resulted in severe losses oil both sides aud the retirement of the Russians up on Simatsi. The latter place is thirty five miles north of Feng Wang Cheng. OFFICIALS GLOOMY AT NEW CM WANG TIEN TSIN, June 1. Morning— A courier who has arrived here from New Chwaug says: "While it is known that.the Russians received reports from Mukden last night giving the losses sustained by them during the fighting at Kiu Chou aud Nan Shan hill and the conditions prevailing, they will not talk on the subject. The officials are desperately glouuiy. The press bulletin giving the news of the fighting on the Kwan Tung peninsula with the European comments on the victory ot the Jap anese was suppressed on its arrival at New Ohwang but was released when the Russians learned that two copies of it were iu possession ot Englishmen and were being shown to other people. "The Tien Tsin newspapers which reached New Chwang last night were eagerlv snapped up. Knots of officers stood in the streets and in and about the club eagerly scanning the papers. "Six hundred junk loads of supplies mostly beans and grain, purchased at New Chwang, were shipped to Liao Yang yesterday. These were the same supplies the Russians ordered from the Chinese in the interior at the time of the second evacuation scare, sayiug the Japanese would confiscate or burn them. The Russians were compelled to pay four times the price demanded a month ago. "The Russians are again meddling with the telegraph offices between New Chwang and San-Kwan."

Sur rouudiug the bed wore all his blood relations Brother, wife, sous,daught ers and nieces, nurses aud physicians were grouped about the bed on which the weak,.emaciated form was slowly breathing and dying. It was 4 o'clock Friday afternoon when Senator Quay's mind ceased ac tivity. He entered iuto a stupor from which he uever awakened. Each night for the past week the physicians had bceu using oxygen to keep the patieut alive. At 8 o'clock Saturday morning Dr. Wilson was summoned hurriedly. He ran into the house, learned that his patient's fever had risen perceptibly, and advised the family that .within eight hours Senator Quay would be no more. Bravely the waiting band of relatives took turns at the bedside to watch for the end. Each hoped that the Senator would again regain con sciousness, so he could si>eak to them once again. Before 2 o'clock it became apparent that it was only a question of an hour, aud the end would come. Drs. Wilson, of Beaver,and Lawrence Litchfield, of Pittsburg, were at his bedside doing everything that medical science commands for prolonging life. BEAVER, May 81.—The funeral of Senator Quay here today was marked by the simplicity which the great leader requested. The weather was gloomy and frequent showers occur red. Notwithtandiog this fact there were thousands of strangers iu town, mauy of them distinguished men of state and nation, to pay their repsects to the prominent dead. Following private services at the home, the body of the dead senator, through a solid phalanx of humanity, was carried from the Quay home to the First Presbyterian church—almost opposite—a few minutes before 10 o'clock, and from that hour until 1 o'clock, when the edifice was olosed, there was an almost constant string of people filing in and out past the casket in which the face of the dead was dis closed. Th« pews were marked off for tlie relatives and distinguished visitors and when at 2 o'clock the church was comfortably filled, the doors were again closed,to prevent overcrowding. Daring the time of the funeral the Beaver valley was as quiet as a tomb. Not a wheel turned in the mills and factories,not a store or shop was open. Many places of business were draped in black. The street cars of the Beaver Valley Traction company,who operate six lines and twenty miles of tracks were draped, and as the cars passed through Beaver they were run slowly and not a gong sounded during the day. Although slow in coming forth,hav ing burrowed below the frost line, potato hugs are reported by farmers to have made their appearance in larger numbers than ever before. ONE WEEK'S TREATMENT FREE!

" BACCALAUREATE SERHON | Con tinned from First Page. I held oat a warning, second a voice of instruction and third it voice ot «u --couragement. As a warning the i lass was advised not to ho over confident. Parental care and the guidance of teachers, which thus far have been re lied upon, are soon to he withdrawn and each one must stand forth as an independent man or woman. No per son is stronger than when they know their weakness. Don't for a moment think you know it all. You have only begun to learn how much you don't know. Hear the voice of love from the cloud: "Let him that thinketh he standeth, take heed lest he fall." It is well to have high aims, ambi tious and high ideals. Good inten tions, however, alone are not the iu dex of character, but are current in the lowest moral strata of society. What is needed is high endeavor. Hap piness is not the highest end and aim in life. If this were so then self would be the great center ot life. We must choose between serving self and serv ing God by serving our day and gen eration. The sermon concluded with a voice of encouragement applying tlie text very effectively as where the voice out of the cloud proclaimed: "This is my beloved Son: hear Him." Trolley Line to Plymouth.

Uuearthed Indian Boues. Workmen, while excavating a cellar on Pennsylvania avenue, Suubury, Saturday afternoon unearthed the por tions of two skeletons, a lot of Indian money,pottery and other articles which is satisfactory proof that the bones are those of Indians who journeyed to the happy hunting grounds years ago. The discovery was made on the prop erty recently purchased by A. W. Rimert. The collections consist of the portion of two skolls, socket hones, small hones of the leg,broken pottery, one whole piece of pottery six inches in height and five inches in diame ter, one hundred and twenty pieces of wampum or Indian money, two coils, parts of Indian moccasins, which still have the animal hair on them, ami other small and less interesting trin kets that were consigned to the graves with the braves or chiefs. The hig amount of money and the quality of the other articles found is an indication that the Indians stood high among their people, for so much staff is seldom buried with the lower men of the tribes. Several years ago the portion of an other Indian skeleton was uuearthed near the same place, and as the ex cavation progresses no doubt other in teresting relics of the first residents of the countrv will he found. Plenty of Ice at Lover's Leap. Many persons find it difficult to be lieve that there is an abundance of ice still remaining at Lover's Leap,never theless a stroll down the river will conviuce them that such is the case. Notwithstanding the hot weather of last week and previously, which sent mercury up above a hundred degrees iu the sun, a large portion of the big ice mound may still be seen. A con servative estimate places the ice re maining on the spot at one hundred tons. It is rapidly melting, however, and in a week or ten days it will probably be all gone. Those who predicted on the first of April that ice would still remain ou the spot at the first of June were considered extravagant. As is shown, however, by the sequel their judgment is redeemed, while there is a considerable margin to spare. The like can not he recalled by even our oldest resident and the circumstance of ice remaining in June is a unique fact which will be remembered in con nection with tlie longest and coldest winter over experienced iu this lati tude.

All the blood in your body passes through your kidneys once every three minutes. fThe kidneys are your blood purifiers, they fil ter out the waste or impurities in the blood. If they are sick or out of order, they fail to do their work. Pains, achesand rheu matism come from ex cess of uric acid in the blood, due to neglected kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidney poisoned blood through veins and arteries. It used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly ail constitutional diseases have their begin ning in kidney trouble.

The confirmation service at B'ne Ziou Synagogue Sunday afternoon was the most interesting and impres sive event of its kind that ever took place at that house of worship. This was owing to the presence of Rabbi Eli Mayer of Helena. Ark., one of the most gifted young men iu the ministry of the Jewish church. | A class of eight was confirmed. In connection with the ceremony the young rabbi made an address, which created a wonderful impression not only ou the members of the congrega tion hut also ou the large number of others who were attracted to the syna gogue. His remarks related to the for mative ]ie(iod of the child's lite and the precautions necessary to keep the soul pure and undefiled. There was something 111 the beautiful imagery of his remarks, his sympathetic manner, his depth of thought and his elo quence which made his words sink deep into the heart and gave them a wond erful efficacy aud power.

DEAR SIR I think that every man that has a' team of horses or any stock, ought to have a bottle of Moyer 's White Liniment in the stable or his house. I had a; horse that stepjied in a hole with his front foot, coming down the mountain? with a trail of props, and fell and strained his shoulder blade. That it swelled so fast that we could hardly get the collar off, aud in two hours his neck was swollen to all the skin would hold. We used your White Liuiin nt freely,and in a few days he was to work again, and does not show any signs of lameness. It worked like magic. Respectfully Yours, J. A.
