A letter from Abraham Strauss, a Jewish soldier in the Russian army at Port Arthur, has been received, by B. Fine, a prominent merchant of Fulton, Mo., says the New York Times. Strauss and Fine were born in the same Rus-, sian village. The letter, which is dated June 17, tells a pitiful tale of the hardships that are being undergone by the Russian soldiers. A translation of part of the letter reads: "Several months ago I was taken as a soldier by the Russian army, was at once sent to the front and am now at Port Arthur, one of a compajjy of SOU. As soon as they took us from the re cruiting office they sent us to Yalesvat- got, and from there dispatched us to Sevastopol, where we stayed fifteen days, and were all sent together to Port Arthur. The trip took forty-eight days by rail, and at the end of the journey we were so fatigued that our friends hardly knew us when we arrived. "Food we get once in twenty-four hours, and then very little—too moch to starve on, but hardly enough to live on. The few kopecks that I had when I left home are all gone, and I have not one kopeck left. You know how it is to be a Russian soldier without money, a Jew’ especially. It is a hard ship that I cannot describe. “We got in here on Feb. 10, and the same day they dressed us in soldiers’ clothing, with guns on our hacks, and put us on guard, and in that way we stand for hours at a time. We are not allowed to change clothes or sit down while on duty, and In the few hours that we are off duty we must sleep with our clothes on and guns strapped to us. “We must be ready for death at all times, and I pray that it will come to me soon, for I would accept it with joy. But, to my sorrow, death has not come, and God only knows how long we will have to suffer." A TRUE STORY. How a Young Wife Regained Her Health and Beauty. nifnjW 1 1 iilili it m Ii Matters at Midway.

The ever progressive proprietors of the Star cafe, opposite the post- office. have opened a 5 cents lunch counter in their place, where the hun gry may satisfy the wants of the inner man at a very small cost. Man gives every reason for his con duct save one, every excuse for his safety save one—and that one is his cowardice. A lifetime of happiness! No man alive could bear it; it would be hell on earth. W. E. Birch, Afton, Ya., an extensive fruit grower of that place, writes the following letter to the Peruna Medicine Jo., ot Columbus, Ohio, We print the letter in full: Afton, Va., June 4,1900. The Pernna MedicineCo.,Columbus, O.: Gentlemen—"The country is so flooded with patent medicines of every kind that ire worthless and a humbug, that I for ane, am glad to be able to say I have found one that is everything and more than is claimed for it. •‘My wife was very mnrh run down and out of sorts in every way. She had a pelvic disorder which left her very weak, nervous and no appetite at all. “One day I happened to he at my father’s store, S. A. Birch, Coresville, Alb county, Ya., and noticed your medi cine he Imd there for sale. “ 1 thought it might help my wife, so I brought a bottle of it home and within a week she commenced to eat and now she is hungry all the time and not half the medicine has been taken. We both agree that It beats any medicine to bring on an appetite and to put the nerves in good shape that we have ever had any-: thing to do with. Wo had our family j doctor to give hei medicine and he did all he could, but she did not improve the least. She has con sumption in her fam ily and she was in such bad shape; so run down, nervous, weak, and could not eat, that I had begun to get very uneasy, but your medicine made an entirely new woman of her. I believe she eats and feels better now than she has for years. “/ have not trie slightest doubt bid that your medicine has sa ved her from a long spell of sickness, ii nothing more. All my family had begun to get uneasy, but, of course, she did not know it and I have only Just told her of it since she has improved so much. I had no idea it would do half what it has and don’t think there Is another medicine made that will begin to com pare with it.”-.\V. E. Birch, Fruit Grower, Afton, Alb county, Va.
