The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, October 28,1903. * * War Inevitable. Negotiations between Russia and Japan, according to a view of the situation taken at Berlin, are not making progress. Emh side, it appears from ?. official information, will not yield on essential preparation. Rassia persists in requiring the agreement that shall not limit their respective spheres of supremacy and Japan declines to consent to the general policy of drift, under which the Russian iD fanfcry will, the Japanese say, steacsuy ^ i bear upon Corea and edge forward until the time is ripe for acquiring a part of, or the whole country. Japan, as previously cabled from here, is determined, according to the German view, to have a settlement with Eussia by treaty, by which they both must abide or else, and the threat is ever in the near background hostilities will begin. The Japanese government seemingly makes no particular concealment from the diplomatic crops at Pekin of this attitude, one impression being that Japan is merely playing a diplomatic game and another is that the government is in deadly earnest. Russia's ever increasing military % preparation in the far east and Jap' ? J : ?t an 8 ceanj compietou c^ui^uucuv, mc regarded as pointing to either a settlement before December or to bositlities. Japan's orders for war material placed in Germany, a year ago, and since then have all been delivered or are afljafc. Four Japanese officers are byiog war material and supervis*ng the artillary construction at EsseD, left Germany for Japan last Tuesday. Confessions of a Priest. % Rev. Jno. S. Cox, of Wake, Ark., writes, ,kFor 12 years I suffered from Yellow Jaundice. I consulted a number of physicians and tried ali sorts of medicines, but got no relief.

' Mora Th? a Husband's Duty. A young man in his shirt sleeves and a straw bat was observed, one of the hottest afternoons this week, wheeling a baby carriage backward and forward in front of one of the small houses in the vicinity of Fair^ moot Park. He appeared hot but happy. "My dear," came a voice from one of the upper windows of the house. "Lst me alone, can't you?" be called back, and went on wheeling and v mopping his face. | An hour later the same voice came ?~xtom the window in earnest and pleading tones, "George dear!" "Well, what on earth do you waDt?" he asked, "have the water pipes burst?" "No, George, dear, but you have been wheeling Anna's doll all the -?t ,*o it nnt timo fnr Kfthv tn CI ivfiUUUU, la IV UUV ktuiu a v? v?>v J .. have a turn?" .1 Perfect Painless Pill Is the one that will cleanse the system, set the liver to action, remove the bile, clear the complexion, cure headache and leave a good taste in the month.

On last Saturday, says the Georgetown Times of October 21st: On last Saturday night, during the heavy rain, fall, an old barn at the Sampit (Methodist) parsonage gave way and fell to the ground, burying Rev. W. M. Harden's fin9 cow under the debris. The animal was caught among the falling timber and was so badly hurt that it is thought she will die, haviDg received internal injuries as well as those of anoutward nature. The preacher, in trying to lift some largr pieces of timber, was badly hurt in the back and was unable to j fill some of his appointments. Not so Bad Off. I W. H. Bagley, of Raleigh, N C, j a brother of Ensign Worth Bagley, j who was killed in the Spanish-American war, tells of a tar-heel farmer who was inclined to look on the bright side of things. "The man was at work on land so poor that you couldn't raise your hat on it, when a j stranger passed," said Mr. Bagley, j "and asked him about the crop pros- { pects." The farmer seemed to be | depressed and finally the stranger i expressed sympathy with him and his condition. "This nettled the farmer, aod he said: 'See here, stranger, I ain't so blamed bad off as j you think. I don't own this here farm.'" Spent SCore Than $1,000. W. W. Baker, of B'ainview, Neb., writes: "My wife suffered from lung trouble for fifteen years. She tried a number of doctors and spent over $1000 without relief. She became very low and lost all hope. A friend recommended Foley's Honey and Tar and thanks to this great remedy it saved her life. She eDjoys belter health than she has known in trn years." Refuse substitutes. The Kaufmann Drug Co.

Reflections. A wife often permits ber affection to blind her reason. Regard for petty things often will dwarf a man's amb;tion. A woman's love can became aonoyiDg as well a9 burdensome. Marraige based on honest affection will withstand the ravages of time. "When a woman gives way tosDger, | she begs ber own pardon with tears. I IVT xnv women find happiness only j when attending to the affairs of i others. j Confidence is not eaeily gained | where exaggerated love of eeif is | found to exist. To decide between love and duty has caused hours of worry to men as v/ell as to women. The man with a vice wonders why i so many persons think it their duty to make public the fact. Man often shows the hard eids of j his disposition to mark more strongly the generous shades. Setter Tliaa Sills. The question has been asked?In what way are Cuamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets superior to the ordinary cathartic and liver pills? Our answer ie?They are easier and more pleasant to take and their effect is so gentle and bo agreeable that ooe hardly realizes that it is produced by a medicine. Then they not only move the bowels but improve the appetite and aid the digestion. For sale at 25 cents per bottle by The Kaufmann. Pearls of Thought. Wrong has no vested rights. Character rests upon choice. Sin sows the seed of borrow. Characters never born fall grown. The hope of immortal life is the life of mortal hope. The only way to make the beet of a bad thing is to abolish it. Spirituality without morality is a mere whistle without works. Greater the motherhood of the cradle than the monarch of the king. There is a difference between the deserving poor and the deservedly poor. The trouble with nutshell wisdom is that it is easier to get in than to take out. He who expects to win the world's applause while he purifies its way had better look for other bueiuess. Seme men pray in the morning for the death of their passions and then spend the day in feeding them. Excursion Bates to Augusta.
