I. M-kA rWhat The Eartb Produces. The earth has nourished us through un known ages of human existence. Is it not true that the earth supplies us with every thing that we really require for existence ? Hare you ever thought that it is probable that the earth supplies us with the means to keep our bodily vigor, our health, if we only knew it ? The animals know by in- stinct what is good for them and will search until they find in some plant what they need for correcting indigestion or constipa- tion, etc. Is it, therefore, not possible that . there are roots and herbs supplied by nature which will cure the diseases that afflict human kind? That is why Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., has such faith in his "Med ical Discovery." Years ago, when he was in general and active practice, he found that a combination of certain herbs and roots made into an alterative extract, with out the use of alcohol, would always put the stomach into a healthy condition, nour ish the tissues, feed the blood and nerves and put healthy tone into the whole system. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery restores the lost flesh by curing diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition and enabling the perfect di- Station and assimilation of food from which esh and strength are made. "I was all run down, very nervous, and suf fered terribly from stomach trouble, which the doctor pronounced indigestion, writes Mrs. Win. Morey, of Marshall. Mich. "I doctored for a year without permanent relief. Was ad vised by a friend to try Dr. Pierce'. Golden Med - ical Discovery, and alter the use of nine bottles 1 wss cured. 1 can heartily recommend the 'Golden Medical Discovery' to any one suffer ing from stomach trouble. My husband was also greatly benefited by its use." To gain knowledge of your own body In sickness and health send for the People's Common Sene Medical Adviser. A book of iao8 pages.

Another Vic tint Cblcajo Churches Closed. Sj Telegraph to the Horning Star. Chicago, Jan. 16. One witness was heard in the Iroquois Theatre inquest to-day and the jury then adjourned to Inspect the Interior of the theatre. A lively dispute took place when Deputy Coroner Buckley and the jurors entered the building. A force of detectives employed by the owners of the building followed them around and insisted upon listening to all that was aaid. They moved only when Mr. Buckley threatened to have all the detectives arrested. Rev. Charlea I. Roberts, pastor of tbe Hamlin Avenue Methodist church, died to-day of injuries received in tbe fire. His death brings the total to 673. As a result of orders issued by Building Commissioner George Wil liams, only eight of twenty-one churches closed for violations of the building law will remain with closed doors to morrow. The others will open with either no limit to their attend ance or with a capacity limited by Commissioner Williams to a degree considered safe. TWINKLINGS.

But It is Practically Certain Rus sia Will Not Accept Ja pan' Propositions. RUMORS IN ST. PETERSBURG. loclodloi Report that a Naval Fight Had Occorred at Vlsdivostock Situation Summed Up by the Japanese Minister la London. - By Cable to the Morning Star. 8t. Petersburg, Jan. 16. It is already practically certain that Rus sia will not accept Japan's last prop ositiopas an entirety. Bustla Is rdv in aaree to certain DOints. but on others the Foreign Office believes Russia cannot yield, xne ometais are of the opinion that the . way is open for continuing the negotlationa and there Is no indication that Russia will seek to delay her answer, which prob ably will be ready in a few days. Tbe Czar contlnuea to talk peace, and the dowager Czarina, iniconversation, re marked: "War is a horrible thing. There will not bo war." Ia the meanwhile Viceroy Alexieff and Baron de Rosen, as well as the Foreign Office, are studying the Japanese document. Army and navy circlea continued essimistlc. t The best feature or tbe situation is the fact that the Japanese reply has in no sense the character of -au ulti matum. It Is couched ia pacific terms, does not fix a time limit, and tb ac ceptance by Russia of certain cf th propotltloca therein mark an advance toward a settlement. Many rumors are afloat, including a report that an actual naval fight has occurred at Viadlvoitock. Tbe Silnatlon Summed Up. London, Jan.1 16. In peculiarly frank language Baron Hayathl, after consultation with- the Foreign Office to-day, summed up the situation for tbe Associated Press as follows: "I only hope the Czar will give us peace, but my hopes are notatrong. If we go to war it will be for issues whereon both America and Eogland have Insisted diplomatically. We have received no pledges from any country that in the event of defeat It will step in and save us from being absorbed by Russia. We cannot count even in extremities on the armed sup port of any nation in the world. It would be a struggle to the death. Per haps we are not strong enough to fight Russia. There are two opinions about that." Baron Hayashl intimated that he thought Japan was bound to be beaten ia the end. ! "If we were beaten," the minister resumed, "Russia would take Corea and Manchuria by right of conquest, and possibly Japan. No power on earth could then dislodge ber from central China and all the Far East. I am aure It is better to go to war-hen you know you are right, even if de feat Is possible, than to see your Inde pendence submerged under a continual aggression thatia bound to absorb you eventually. Nothing can avert war between Russia and Japan in future years, even if peace is procured now, so long as Russia pursues her present Far Eastern policy. "The American action in enforcing tbe opening of i the Manchurian porta was a splendid example of honest dip lomacy. It was a straight forward step which contrasts favorably with Ruaslan methods. No other nation, except Great Britain when the British admiralty bought the two Chilian war ships, has taken any practical atep to live up to its diplomatic demands up on Russia anent the Far East. We believe we are now fighting a diplo matic battle in behalf of America and Great Britain but if only war can set tle It we know we shall receive assist ance from neither. We are prepared to fight out our own battle and take the consequences. Situation In Corea. Seoul, Jan. 16. The American guard at the United States embassy has .been increased. Sixty additional marines arrived here last night and are quartered in the city at the elec tric power company's building. The native press is slightly offensive to foreign residents, and It is quite pos sible there will be yet trouble with Corea. Troops now guard all the foreign residences, probably in suffi cient numbers to keep the natives in check should they begin to make trouble. Foreigners cannot be con sidered in danger. A German man-of-war has just arrived at Chemulpo. A change in the personnel of the government has begun in favor of the Japanese, and aa the people have been more angry with the govern ment than the foreigners, it Is likely that this change will completely pacify them. The American authorltiea have taken the precaution to provide male escorts for women and children of that nationality while on tbe street. Ihe View In Paris. Paris, Jan. 16. Official sentiment concerning the Russo-Japanese situa tion ia rather leu buoyant to-day. It was explained that while the condi tions are not hopelesr, they are strain ed. Although no Information la given as to tbe grounds for the present feel ing, it probably is due to tbe receipt of fuller Information regarding tbe nature of Japan's lateat demands. One of the foremost members of the diplomatic corps, who baa been in communication with tbe French gov ernment, aaid to day that a strong feeling existed in the highest official quarters that Japan had gradually en larged ber demands until those of to day went, considerably beyond those at first presented. Moreover, It is tbe belief of the officials here that Japan's steady augmentation of her demands Is due largely lo ber belief that Russia ia desirous of avoiding war, and that therefore it is safe to push her de mands to tbe furtberest limits. Officials regard this as one of tbe most dan geroua features of thesitua-' tion, as Russia's desire to avoid war has encouraged Japan to develop her clalma until they are far beyond those Russia at first was ready to concede. In particular, it ia the official view that Japan's present demands for the integrity of ! China and full recogni tion of Chinese authority over Man churia represents a considerable and important advance over the earlyre presentations. It ia pointed outthat at the outset Japan, and practically all the powers, recognized Russia's special in terests In Manchuria; but the view now prevails among the officials and diplo mats here that Japan's demands seek to minimize and restrict those special Interests within impossible limits.

Wild boasts for the ltoyal Zoological, gardens of I.ow!vi tvlien we got word' that a Hon bud enterwl a cattle kraal abont five iuIIps away the night pre vious and killed and carried off a eteer. We nitnle for the spot at once and began digging a pit. When our pit was completed, it was 10 feet long, 0 feet wide and 12 feet deep, and we cut and drew up a lot of heavy poles to place across it in case we had to keep him prisoner for two or three days. It was a full moon that night, 'and from the pot in one of the huts I caught siclit of the lion at about 9 o'clock. He came to within 200 feet of the kraal and sniffed the air as If his suspicions had been aroused. He wa? a fine target for a rifle, but under the circumstances he was safe from my fire. The cattle soon scented him and crowded to the other side of the pen, and the dogs of the village likewise made a great fuss, but bis lordship was not In tne least put out. I could not have s-een hiui better by daylight. Aside from his inane there were black tufts on his legs, with a black plume at the end of his tail, and I was de termined to make him my prize if it took a year of waiting and planning. The' lion scented danger, however, nnd sheered off, and we saw nothing luore from him that night. On the next night lie showed up before we were on the lookout. The natives in driving in the. cattle had failed to round tip a yearling calf, and we heard nothing from the estray until the lion jihowed hinipolf. Just at dusk he rear ed loudly, and as the moon came up we caught sight of him advancing upon the kra.il. The calf was on the other side of the inciosure keeping very unlet, but u the lion stopped and roared again the frightened animal be gan linniiiiir around the pen to seek for tin- ga'.t. As he came around on our side. Tunning blindly and never peeing the Hon, the latter crouched and sprang. As he struck the calf he seized it by the neck and wrenched it to right and l :t. killing it on tbe Instant. For lire minutes he stood facing us with his cliiws on the raroass, growling de fiance. Had a man shown himself out hlde of a hut the lion would have eharged right at him. After awhile, finding that his deft was not accepted, he picked up the calf and trotted away as a dog would with a bone. Twice before lie reached the thicket he paused to look back, but we had no thought of moving out of our shelter. As the calf was not in good condi tion, the natives believed the lion would return next night, but he did not. Or ders were issued for the people to keep very quiet during the day and for the herd to lie penned au hour earlier than usual. On.' the second night after getting the ca'.f we heard the old fellow roar ing good and strong as ho left his lair, and ihe head man said to me: "Wo are sure of him this time. Can't you tell by his roar that he is hungry?" It is doubtful if the lion ever roars because of hunger. His roar may rath er be considered a challenge to his en emies. The natives insisted, however, and they were right, except that he did not appear as soon as expected. He went off in the other direction, roar ing at Intervals and perhaps looking for a change of diet. It was close on to 11 o'clock, and we had not heard his voice for an hour, when I suddenly heard something walking with a tread as heavy as that of ao ox. I thought it was an ox until I saw the lion himself. The moon was up, and he advanced upon the kraal without even looking our way. nis bearing exhibited grim determination. He walked straight to the spot where he had leaped before, halted for an in stant to see if the fence had been strengthened since his other visit, and, with an angry growl and a switch of his tail, be went over. The cattle bel lowed and rushed about, but after a couple of minutes the head man whis pered : "He certainly fell into the pit. See! The cattle have become more iuiot. T.et us go at once." At a signal we all rushed fixKthe gate and opened it. We were not a moment too soon, as tiie fellow was springing up and catching the banks with his paws. We hustled the poles across the excavation, weighted them down, and then everybody in the vil lage began to sing and yell and dance. I had promised the people a keg of rum, ten pounds of powder and five muskets in case of capture, and the re ward was a big thing to them. The cattle were turned out, fires lighted, and all spent the night in watching and rejoicing. The cage was made with double bars, each as large as a man's arm. and of hard wood. We had it ready by night, but the Hon was by no means ready to enter it. Our only way was to draw him up into It by main strength. For two whole days he de fied our every effort, seeming to grow fiercer with every failure on our part, but on the third day we got the better of hiui. Wo kept hiui from food and drink for four days, but he neither fell away nor abated one Jot of his fero cious spirit. I did not start him until the tenth day of his capture, hoping for a change, bnt as none came he was finally turned over to a guard of na tives and his journey began. In due time he reached the Uoyal gardens, but savage as ever, and oven after ten years of captivity he was the most ferocious brute in the whol: col lection and feftred by everybody. He vas one of the few Hons born with such a savage spirit that .taming is an Impossibility. W. QUAD. NEW YORK BANKS. Sfatemeat of Clearing Boose Averar.es for the Past Week.

A writ of in junction atopped the holding of the Bouthern Industrial Association to day. The injunction was issued by Judge Brentano, on the complaint of Herbert Miller, secretary of the asso ciation, and Wm. L. Eaton, a stock holder, who allege that Lincoln P. Good house, president and manager of the association; Wm. C. Payne and K. C. Rosseter, a director, have been managing it for their own interests and that It has been badly conducted. The association waa established November 11th, 1902, with a capital atock of $100,000 for the purpose of buying and improving land. It ia aaid that 1,080 acres of land have been purchased In the State of Alabama for $10,660, $2,000 paid for atock and ma chinery and $3,000 for Improvements. The profits for the year, it is contend ed have been less than $500. The court ia also asked to appoint a receiver for tbe association and. re strain the secretary from tranefering any of the stock. ' FOR THE LITTLE ONES. "Double Dutch" Won the Boys' Re apectful Admiration. It is pleasant to see the little gills in public squares or on private sidewalks in quiet parts of the city busy with their jumping ropes. They never 6eem to weary of it and work an infinite variety of steps. "Salt, pepper, vinegar, mustard!" cry the little maidens, industriously turning the skipping ropes and leap ing backward and forward over tho flying hemp. The rope is waved faster and faster as the condiments increase in fieriness. Back door or front door is the mandate of flip jumper commanding the turners to turn tne rope either away from or toward the jumper. At the signal "My little cup and saueer must go over my head" the jumping maiden stoops and raises her head. But the triumphs of the rope skip per is in going through the motion called "double Dutch." This is a feat at which little brothers or boy cousins look with respectful admira tion. Two ropes are turned at the same time, one in each direction, and real skill is required to jump over them without tripping or catch ing one's foot in the flying ropes. To jump double Dutch is the top and crown of the little maiden's am bition in this direction. Philadel phia Record.

After the murder she came to America with Eyraud, but later returned to Paris and urged by a young man, with whom ahe had fallen in love, confessed her share In the crime. At her trial ft was contended that she believed that ahe was a hypto'.ic subject, and a hypnotic expert tried to secure permission to hypnotise ber in open court and have herensclthe crime, but the jury voted against the experiment. 8ae was convicted and sentenced to twenty yeara Imprison ment.

Perhaps one reason they are so popular is be cause they wear the national cos tume, as you can see in their pic ture. Some time ago some of tho rich Roumanian families began to dress their children after the Eng lish and American fashions, and it looked as if the national costume would at length disappear and ev ery one would dress just as we do, but Carlos and Sylvia have changed all that, for, of course, what they wear is the fashion for every other little boy jinti irirl in the country.

Fighting" over a telegraph wire with a man several hundred miles away is not an unusual occurrence among telegraph operators. W. H. Le Hew, a Seaboard Air line train (dispatcher, tells of a fight he once had over the wire with an odd se quel, lie was quarreling with an operator, J. H. Chapman, many miles out on the road, and as the quarrel waxed warm Le Hew de clared he would go down the next day and personally whip his antag onist. Chapman thought it would result as most "wire scrape" do in nothing and did not worry any more about it, believing he and Le Hew would be as good friends as ever the next time they worked to gether over a wire. The next day, however, Le Hew boarded a local freight train and, according to his promise, got off at the distant sta tion to whip Chapman. He walked into the telegraph office and de manded: "Are you the operator here ?" "Yes, sir," replied the man at the instrument. Without further ado Le Hew sail ed in and whipped him.
