Wan-Shan, Chit-An Shan and So-Cho-
Slian forts southeast of and part of tho
Port Arthur defences, were captured
ou Sunday after an all day fight, be
ginning with an artillery duel.
So-Cho-Shan, it is added, was first
captured and the other forts tell soon
afterward. The Russians retreated
west, leaving forty dead or wounded.
The composition of the Japanese force
lias not been ascertained beyond the
fact that it is said to have consisted
of all branches of the service.
The Japanese lost three officers and

ALL RUSSIA NOW
WATCHES THE EAST
ST. PETERSBURG, June 29. 1:30
p. in —The whole city is awaiting
with breathless interest news from the
opposing armies in Southern Mau
churia, grappled in the decisive battle
of the campaign.
But those fully appreciating the al
most impassable country through
which the Japanese columns are ad
vancing and the difficulty of moving
large bodies of troops into position,
hardly expect the battle to begin in
earnest tor several days, although ad
mitting that heavy firing between the
advance forces may now be in pro
Kress.
The papers, with the exception of
the army organ and the Novoe Vremya
are unanimously of the opinion that a
pitched battle is now certain. The
former is silent on the subject, which
may be significant, especially as Gen
eral Kuropatkin's movements are
shrouded in mystery.
RUSH BEING MADE
FOR LIFE PRESERVERS
PITTSBURG, June 21*.— Captain
Isaac B. Williams, United States steam
boat iusjiector, is being kept very busy
just now inspecting life preservers.
From 1,000 to 1,500 are being made and
shipped by express to New York every
day from this city.
The reason is attributed to the Slo
cum disaster. It is said the owners of
steamboats are hurrying to get new
life preservers on board their vessel*
so that it an inspection is ordered by
the government they will be prepared
tor it.
The purchasers refuse to wait for
the arrival of the goods by freight and
the shipments are being made by ex
press.
Crop Conditions.
According to the government weath
er bulletin state crop conditions are
about as follows: Wheat and rye are
heading rapidly and promise a much
larger yield than was expected early
in the season. Some hay has been cut
and a full average crop is in ptospect.
Oats are in fine condition and garden
truck made rapid growth. The replant
ing of corn and tobacco is about
completed. Corn is backward and un
even but in good color and with sun
shine and warm nights should make
rapid advancement. Potatoes are do
ing well. Peaches will be scarce but
other fruits bid fair to be plentiful.
CLOUI) BURST WAS
CAUSE OF FLOOD
PITTS B U UG» .1 ii lie 29.—Over five
hundred homes, business houses and
school houses, a short distance from
Fiffshurg 011 tho Pan Handle railroad,
were inundated in from two to ten
feet of water in Robinson's Hun Hol
low and Charters Valley by the cloud
burst there last night. Many build
ings and bridges were washed away,
horses and ca.ftle were drowned, and
at least 0110 life was lost.
It was rumored that others had per
ished, but the reports have not been
verified.
There were many narrow escapes.
In the Bastian Hotel, McDonald,
Charles Hay,the engineer, was caught
in a room in the basement. A lmost
without warning the water poured up
on him. Escape by way of the door
was cut off. lie reached safety by
crawling through tho transom.
The Murchland sisters, who conduct
a millinery store at McDonald, nar
rowly escaped death *ll the flood.
Their store was washed from its base
with the three women in it. They
were rescued by Charles Cameron, who
waded out to the building and.carried
out the sisters one by one. Tho house
of Arnold Glaser was overturned bv
the force of rushing water The five
members of the family had sought
safety in one of the upper rooms. All
succeeded in reaching land by swim
ming and wading
Miss Blanche Bush, a clerk in a news
stand at McDonald, had a narrow es
cape. The store was lifted from its
place and swept into the stream. Miss
Bush was caught in the structure, and
as it floated awav she screamed for
help. Her cries were heard by George
Hemmerliug, an oil operator. He
plunged into the water and swam out
to tho building and back again.taking
Miss Bush with him.
Both the electric lifclit plants at Mc-
Donald were flooded and the town was
in total darkness. The flood did not
subside until daylight and many fami
lies slept outdoors all last night. Kail
road traffic on the Pan Handle rail
road through the flooded district is
completely tied up, tracks washed
away, and many towns above and he
low Oakdale and Carnegie are with
out means of communication.
The only fatality reported so far was
the drowning of an unknown Italian,
whose body was found floating in Rob
inson Run earlv today. The damage
will reach £IOO,OOO.

Pure Food.
Everybody wants to eat anrf drink
only pure and wholesome food and
liquors. The merchant who knowing
ly sells his customers adulterated
goods, for pure, should be punished.
Ignorance of the law, of course, ex
cuses uo one, but many a merchant
was obliged to pay a fine who had no
intention of deceiving his customers.
The manufacturers are the guilty
parties, but they escape because they
comply with the law by putting some
little mark on the package. A custom
er goes into a wholesale house and is
offered something cheap. He buys it
and sells it cheap. It has a little mark
"compound" on the package. This
leaves the jobber out, but when the
retailer sells it he must suffer the con
sequences. Very frequently lie knows
nothing of the contents and is entire
ly innocent of wrong doing. When a
customer wants to buy jelly for three
or four cents a pound lie surely knows
that the stuff is not pure. It is the
demand for cheap food that has forced
such merchandise on the market. The
merchant is in business to sell what
the people demand. The only ques
tion is to give them what they ask for;
don't deceive them.
The pure food law is all right and
the people want to know what they
eat, but there should bo some protec
tion for the merchant against the
manufacturer.

POSEI) AS A TELE
GRAPH LINEHAN
O. Graves, of Wilkesbarre, special
officer for tho Pennsylvania railroad
company, Tuesday afternoon arrested
a tnan who gave liis name as I. G.
Marion, and nlace of residence Lan
caster, Pa., for beating liis way over
the Suuburv division on a freight
trai ii.
Oflicer Graves was 011 his way to
Sunliury and was 011 the same train
with Marion, both riding 111 the ca
boose, Marion gaining permission
from tho conductor by representing
himself to be a telegraph lineman in
the employ of the company. Ho st»t
cd that he had been sent out in a
hurry and had forgotten to yet creden
tials hut to make his story good he
carried a pair of pole climbers and a
pair of wire cutters. At first Graves
was inclined to believe his story, hut
after being in converastion with him
for a while lie arrived at a different
conclusion and made ap his mind that
lm was an impostor. When the train
arrived at Sanhury Graves arrested
the mail and took him before Justice of
the Peace Carpenter, where ho was
charged with illegal car riding. At
first Marion stuck to tiie lineman story,
hut when questioned closely, broke
down and admitted his guilt. Justice
Carpenter sent him to jail tor twenty
days.
The railroad officers are waging a
relentless war on the army of illegal
car riders and scarcely a day passes
but what a number of them land in
jail.— Sunbury Daily.
Killing and Maiming.
The executive ill every town in Penn
sylvania has received from tho state
board of health a communication call
ing attention to tho need of a better
enforcement of the law relative to the
sale of toy pistols and high explosives.
It makes the assertion that tho total
number of casualties in the United
States last Fourth of July were 4,349,
ot which 401! died from lockjaw caus
ed by injuries; 10 blinded; 75 lost one
eye; 54 lost an arm or a leg; 174 lost
fingers. The causes of accidents were ;
Blank cartridges, 1,1509; firecrackers,
1,152; toy cannons, .'579; powder and
fireworks, 731.
The toy pistol is a most fruitful
source of injury and death,and against
this dangerous "toy" there should be
a relentless warfare. Each recurring
Fourth of July brings with it its noise
and blaze and its epidemic of tetanus,
or lockjaw. 111 the Fourth of July
tetanus the disease usually becomes
manifest on the fourth or fifth day
after the injury, and the patient dies
in from 24 to 72 hours. Last year out
of 4015 cases ot lockjaw only nine re-
covered.
It was declared in an address before
tlio Chicago school tecahers,assembled
in furtherance of the movement for a
saner observance of the Fourth in that
city, that 1,100 persons were killed
and •'•,47:5 were injured in ten cities
daring the last ten Independence days.
The lire loss was $.">,4511,000. The burn
inn of Portland, Maine,on July I lSlili,
inflicting a property loss of from $lO,-
000,000 to *1"),000,000 —tiie most serious
conflagration in the count ry up to that
time since the great lire in New York
in 1835—is a reminder of the danger
ous handling of all forms of fireworks
Such is the tribute paid to patriotism
by the irrational methods of celebrat
ing the country's natal day.
There is no reason to fear that pa
triotism will languish if the boys are
denied the privilege of destroying
themselves, or being maimed for lite.
The rational observance of the Fourth
does not suppress patriotic ardor
There is no sense in the barbaric man
ner in which the Fourth is observed
with explosives, endangering lite and
property.
May Dam the River.
Residents of Berwick and vicinity
have practically decided to tear down
the piers of the old bridge and use the
stone to dam the river, thus making
navigation possible.
For the past few days it is almost
impossible to get across the stream,
even in a row boat, as the stream is
very shallow in places and it is no uu
usual sight to soe the ferries and oth
er boats stranded for hours. The coun
ty commissioners of Luzerne and Col
umbia counties held a meeting yester
day and it was shown that navigation
will he an impossibility between Nes
copeck and Berwick during the sum
mer, and in consequence it was par
tially decided to tear down the piers,
build a dam, thus raising the water.
The Third Son Dead.
A streak of ill-luck seems to bo in
the wake of Nicholas Harris' family.
Mr. Harris resides on East Race street,
Shamokin, and is the father of a large
family of boys, three of whom have
died nndet sad circumstances within
the past three years.
Two, Mathias and Lawrence, were
soldiers in Uncle Sam's army. They
were on the firing lines in the Philip
pines and escaped deaths in the battle
fields only to die later from fever in
hospitals.
Monday, Philip, aged 21 years, was
drowned in a river at Uhiichsville,
0., while bathing. A telegram was re
cieved by Jeweler Joseph Harris, a
brother,apprising him of the sad fact.
The telegram was received from
another biofher.Nicholas who resides
at ('olumbus, <).

Your Kidneys.
Hnhealthy 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, aches and 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
all 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

An Important Decisiou.
Judge McDonnell, of Westmoreland
county, has rendered a decision refus
ing a new trial in the suit brought by
the Dairy and Food Department
against a dealer who sold brandy
which was preserved with boric acid.
The dealer was convicted and senten
ced to pay a line for the violation of
the pure food act of lH'.ta, and applied
for a new trial,alleging that the brandy
was sold for medical purposes and not
for food or drink. In the opinion re
fusing the new trial the court refers
to the act of 181)7, which prohibits the
adulteration of drugs and asserts that
a person must be protected frdm the
purchase of adulterated drugs as well
as food. This was the first instance of
boric acid being used as a preservative
i which has been brought to the atten
tion of the department.
An exchange says there is big money
in store for the man who can cul

To Prevent a Strenuous Fourth.
Tlio authorities all over the State are
preparing to rigidly enforce this year
all laws tending to prevent a too
strenuous Fourth of July celebration.
Tho State Board of Health it is an
nounced has urged upon the Mayor or
Chief Bnrgess of every city and town
in the State tho need of enforcing the
laws relative to the sale of toy pistols
and high explosives for the protection
of life and limb.
Startling as the statement may ap
pear the State Board asserts that the
recorded number of casualties in the
United States resulting from the use
of toy pistols, giant crackers and
other high explosives ot. the last
Fourth of July was as great as the
losses sustained by the Russian forces
in the recent two days' battle with tho
Japanese at Maicheny. Russians kill
ed and wounded in that engagement
is admitted to have been 5,000. The
Fourth of July casualties in this coun
try last year were 4,340, including 4lii>
deaths and these figures the State
Board of Health, says are doubtless
far below the actual facts. The fol
lowing statistics have been gathered
by Colonel Milton A. Embick, chair
man ot the State Board's Committee
