RECTOR OF ST. LUKES,
Ashburnham, Ontario, Testifies to the
Good Qualities of Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy.
Ashburnham, Ont., April 18, 1903.—
I think it is only right that I should tell
you what a wonderful effect Chamber
lain’s Cough Remedy has produced.
The day before Easter I was so dis
tressed with a cold that I did not think
to lie able to take any duties the next
day. as my voice was almost choked
by the cough. The same day I re
ceived an order from you for a bottle
of your Cough Remedy. I at. once pro
cured a sample bottle, and took about
three doses of the medicine. To my
great relief the cough and cold had
completely disappeared and I was able
to preach three times on Easter Day.
I know that this rapid and effective
cure was due to your Cough Remedy.
I make this testimonial without solici
tation, being thankful to have found
such a Godsent remedy.
Respectfully yours,
E. A. Langfeldt, M. A.,
Rector of St. Luke’s Church.

The Good Old Way.
A severe cold or attack of la grippe
is like a fire, the sooner you combat
it the better your chances are to over-
po|Wir it. But few mothers in this
ag«v'are willing to do the necessary
work required to give a good old-fash
ioned reliable treatment such as
would be administered by their grand
mothers, backed by Boschee’s Ger
man Syrup, which was always liber
ally used in connection with the home
treatment of colds and is still In
greater household favor than any
known remedy. But even without the
application of the old-fashioned aids
German Syrup will cure a severe cold
in quick time. It will cure colds In
children or grown people. It relieves
the congested organs, allays the irri
tation, and effectively stops the
cough. Any child will take It. It Is
invaluable in a household of children.

J "
Mikado’s Men Are Still Battling at Port
Arthur’s Doors and Slowly Gaining
Ground—Heavy Cannonading Near
Mukden Is Going On.
Tokio, Dec. 7.—The headquarters of
' the Japanese army in front of Port
Arthur have reported confirming the
disabling of the Russian battleship
Retvitzan and Poltava and stating
that the cruiser Rayan is aground.
Owing to the plunging fire from 203
Meter Hill, the enemy has withdrawn.
On Dec. 6 our forces occupied an en
tire fort at 1 p. m. On Dec. 6 at 4
p. m., in response to the bearer of
the enemy's flag of truce an armistice
of five hours was granted for the re
moval of the dead.
The Japanese troops occupied Aka-
saka hill fronting on Port Arthur yes
terday, Dec. 6.
Heavy Cannonading Near Mukden.
Pekin, Dec. 7.—Mukden reports a
tremendous noise of cannonade around
Poutiloff hill and the railway which
begun on Dec. 6 in the morning and
reached its height from 3 to 5 in the
afternoon. It was unlike anything |
of the kind heretofore, except at Port
Arthur, the effect is due to the con
stantly increasing number of siege
guns of large calibre, all of which
seemed to be in use at the time.
Rumors of a Japanese attack set
for various dates have been current
during the past two weeks and it was
the impression that the bombardment
of Dec. 6 was in anticipation of a
Japanese movement. Today the first
sleet and snow fell.
Russia’s Military Strength Untoueheft.
St. Petersburg, Dec. 7.—The military
strength of Russia is still untouched
by the present war according to an
official report of the war office. Of
the 764, districts in Russia there has
been thus far partial mobilization in
423 districts and in 74 of the latter
only a few categories were touched. In
none are the reserves exhausted. The
regular establishment includes a guard
and grenadier corps, two cavalry corps
and 23 regular corps exclusive of two
in the Caucassus, two in Turkestan
and the Siberian corps. Ten of these
corps are now at the front. Four
more European corps and five rifle
brigades are also under orders to fill
up the three armies to 150,000 men
each. The present plans contemplate
use of only eight of the 27 regular
European .|>rps.
General Kuropatkin, in a telegram
to the emperor mentions Japanese at
tacks on Sin Chin Pu and Soudginian,
both of which were repulsed, and an
unimportant outpost affair on the
right wing when the Russians routed
and bayonetted a Japanese guard.
BOXERS WELL ORGANIZED.
Trouble le Feared in Empire by the
Anti-Dynastic Forces.
New York, Dec. 7.—A state of evi
dent anti-dynastic unrest which ia
likely to culminate in trouble is said
to exist in the northern part of Honan
and Shantung, and the Southern sec
tion of Chi Li provinces by a Her*
aid correspondent at Tien Tsin who
has just finished a 1,000 mile journey
through that part of China.
The troubles is not caused by Box
er fanaticism. It is widespread and
well organized and well armed. Promi
nent and wealthy men are members of
the northern societies, controlled by a
strong central authority with headquar.
ters in south China.
Among the alleged grievances are
the indemnity tax, forced contribu
tions to the imperial army and court
and the destruction of the temple prop
erties and the public schools.
TAKE PART IN WOLF DRIVE.
Lawton, Okla., Dec. 7.—One of the
largest wolf drives in the history of
the southwest has just occurred in the
pasture reserve near Chattanooga.
Fifteen hundred persons and seven-
ty dogs participated. Forty square
miles of territory were covered, and
about 50 wolves corailed, ten of which
weie captured and killed. Several
were lariated by cowboys while run
ning at full speed over the prairie.
Four lines were formed in the Im
mense square, and the wolves were
herded to the center. Mrs. Williams
and Miss Clara Sharp, in full riding
costume, participated in the drive
and the wild stampede, each coming
into town with a dead wolf across
her saddle.

of oorruption, fraud and bribery in
connection with the awarding of cer
tain premiums,” have been filed with

DESPERATE NEGRO SLAIN.
Raised a Row with White Man and ll
Killed.
Irwinville, Ga., Dec. 7.—Tuesday
at 4 o’clock B. M. Pollock shot and
killed Amos Williams, a negro.
Williams came to the town loaded
with whisky, raised a row with Mr.
Pollock, and they engaged In a fight
Pollock seems to have got the best
of him and Williams got his shotgun
and winchester, came back to town
and hunted for Mr. Pollock.
Pollock had been warned of Amos’
actions and kept out of his way. Wil
liams, failing to find Pollock in town,
started toward his home, saying that
he would kill him.
A crowd of white citizens hastily
formed a posse and soon overtook him,
took his gun from him, arrested him
and started to carry him to jail.
When he got in sight of the jail h«
said he would die before he would go
further. He Jerked loose and drew
his knife and tried to cut Pollock, when
Pollock drew his pistol and shot him
four times, killing him instantly.
Pollock is an ex-sheriff of Wilcox

Several ladies on a nearby veranda
saw the shooting and fainted. A
crowd of citizens patrolled athe streets
with guns for awhile, fearing furthei
trouble with the negroes. All Is quiet
now.

Among the signs of a weak stomach
are uneasiness after eating, (its of ner
