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."

AN ENGINEER S
BAD ACCIDENT
Lloyd Cooper, engineer of an extra
freigtit on the S. H. & W. branch,met
with a serious accident yesterday morn
ing, which will incapacitate him for
work for a long time. The train,
which passes South Danville early IU
the morning, had reached a point near
Nanticoke when the engineer under
took to assist the fireman in putting
up the grate bars. While engaged in
this work the wrench slipped striking
a hard blow upon the right knee of
the engineer, fracturing the patella or
knee cap.
The full extent of the injury was
not realized until the engineer had
crawled back into the cab when he
found that he could not use his limb.
The fracture was a serious one, the
broken boue separating into two parts.
It was decided to take the engineer
to Sunbury at once; for this purpose
the engine and caboose were detached
and iu the latter a bed was improvised
upon which the injured man was made
an comfortable as possible.
At Soutli Danville the party was ob
liged to lie on the siding until the 7:11
passenger train passed. Arriving at
Sunbury the engineer was taken to his
home, where he received surgical treat
ment.
Flooring for New Bridge.
Many inquiries are made concerning
the status of atfairs relatiug to the
new river bridge. During an interview
with Attorney W. Ka.se We-it Saturd »y
it was learned that things are taking
their natural course and that indue
time bids will be advertised for
The plans as approved at present pro
vide for a plank flooring. A concrete
or block flooring is favored by the
Coanty Commissioners and it is not
improbable that one or tlie other of
the latter may yet ho adopted.
A meeting of the Board of Public
Grounds and Buildings will lie held
at Harrisburg ou Tuesday, June 7th,
to advertise for proposals, on which
occasion the question of flooring will
receive further consideration.

Mathew S. Quay is no More.
Senator Matthew Stanley Quay is
dead. The end came at his Beaver
home at 2:48 p. m.on Saturday. 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

potato hugs are reported by farmers to
have made their appearance in larger
numbers than ever before.

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."

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.

Over-Work Weakens
Your Kidneys*
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
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.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is
soon realized. It stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing cases

Confirmation at B'ne Ziou.
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.
Mrs. Scarlet and Miss Emma Gear

very beautifully decorated.

A GOOD THING
GIYE \U PUSH.
LIVONA t'AMl', PA, APRIL 21, IWJ2 -
MOYER BROS.
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. BARTHAST.
