Man is millionaire many times over in the possession of blood cells. Woman is ' not quite so rich, for scientists hare proven that the normal number of red blood cells in adult men is five million; in women four and a half million, to the square millimeter. The normal cell is not absolutely round in health, but, in disease, becomes ex tremely irregular in shape. Every one can be in perfect health and possess the mil lions of rich' red blood corpuscles if they only know how to go about it Dr. R. V. Fierce, consulting physician to the Inva lids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buf falo, N. Y., advises every man and woman to prepare for a long life by observing na ture's laws. In the first place, if your digestion is faulty, and the food yon eat is not taken up by the blood and assim ilated properly, you need a tonic and diges tive corrector, something that will increase the red blood corpuscles; he believes in going about this in nature's own way. Years ago, in his active practice, he found that an alterative extract of certain herbs and roots, put up without the use of alco hol, would put the liver, lungs and heart into fuller and more complete action. This medicine he called Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. By assimilating the food eaten, it nourishes the blood, and, in stead of the ill-shaped corpuscles, the per son's blood takes on a' rich red color and the corpuscles are more - nearly round. Nervousness is only the cry of the starved nerves for food, and when the nerves are fed on rich red blood the person loses those irritable feelings, sleeps well at night and feels refreshed in the morning. v KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.

EJECT BY ANY MEANS Governor Aycock Says Call Mill- tary If Necessary to Re move the Receivers. LIVELY IN A. &N. C. AFFAIRS. Jodie Pnroell accepts Bond of Stair, Bnt Leaves Question o! Reitltntloa With Attorneys-Then f nine a slash. Federal Court Order. Special Star Telegram. Raleigh, N. C, June 2. After hearing argument this morning by ooumel for Recelvera McBee ana Meares, of the Atlantic and North Carolina against auch action, Judge Furnell accepted the bond tendered him by the officers of the road In ac cordance with the supersedeas by Chief Justice Fuller for retention o the State officers In possession of the property. Counsel for the State de clined to argue as to whether the order of Chief Justice. Fuller was effective, being aigned out of the district, or whether the order could act as a res titution, the only question before the judge being acceptance of the bond under the order of the Chief Justice. After hearing arguments by W. W. Clark and W. H. Day against the ac ceptance of the bond and the effective ness of the order, Judge Purnell stated that he had grave doubts as to the va lidity of the order, but out of defer ence to the Chief Justice, he would accept the bond and let the receivers test the other questions on appeal. As soon as the bond was accepted, Governor Aycock wl'ed Superintend ent Dill at Newborn to take charge of the road, and counsel for the receiver! telegraphed them instructions to hold the road at all hazards. To Governor Aycock's telegram, Superintendent Dill replied: "Have notified McBee and Meares of the approval of the bond and my orders to take charge. They decline to recognize my authority. I have notified them that I am in possession and they will act at their peril. Must I put receivers out or the officer' To this the Governor replied: "Put receivers out. See Guion. If necessary call on the sheriff. If the military la needed, notify me. The order of the Chief Justice must be obeyed." To O. H. Guion, counsel for the State in Newbern, the Governor tele graphed: "Please see that the road Is turned over to the directors. Take the sheriff with you. If necessary the military will be ordered out The order of Chief Justice Fuller must be enforced with the whole power of the State." A little later a telegram from Mr Guion said Superintendent Dill was in full possession, having used construc tive force only against Receivers McBee and Meares. A special from Newbern to-night says both receivers have left for Raleigh to consult counsel. (By Associated Frees.) Raleigh, N. 0.. June 3. The fina scene In the return of the Atlantic & North Carolina railroad to the State authorities was sensational. Judge Purnell approved the bond required in the supersedeas of Chief Justice Ful ler, saying that he doubted its legality as It was aigned out of the circuit by Chief Justice, but be would approve it in deference to his superior officer. He also questioned as to whether the State could get possession from the receivers without a further order. Governor Aycock took hold. He wired the superintendent of the road at Newbern to take possession. The answer came back that the receivers would not recognize his authority. though warned this was at their peril. Supt. Dill asked If he should put them out. Governor Aycock telegraphed back to put them out of the office and if necessary to call on the sheriff to do so, adding : "If the military is need ed, notify me. Order of Chief Justice Fuller shall be obeyed." The Governor wired authority to the sheriff and military to act if need ed, saying the order of the Chief Jus tice ahould be enforced with the whole power of the State. .finally, by the use or constructive force Receivers McBee and Meares were removed and are now on their way to Raleigh. The arrival of President Bryan, of the Atlantic and North Carolina rail road to-night was signalized by the shrieking of whistles, ringing of bells, explosion of torpedoes and salvos of cheers.

XPLOSION AND FIRE IN A QRAIN DISTILLERY. en Mea turned to Death and Six Others Seriously Injared Caille Saras Also . earned With 3,200 Steers. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Feosia, "III., June An ex plosion which occurred in the eleven- story warehouse or. tne Uornlng Distillery, the second largest in the world, th!s afternoon, completely wrecked the building. The ruins. immediately took fire and communi cated to three adjoining buildings,' burning them to the ground.- Ten men were burled beneath the ruins and burned to death, and six others were seriously injured. The oss on buildings and whiskey and spirits stored will approximate $1,000, 000. The fire spread to the stock: yards district, where a dozen large cat tle barns filled with cattle for market were- burned. The cause of the explosion cannot be determined. The wildest excitement prevailed after the explosion, the Immense plant was surrounded by thousands onpeopie, who. however, were unable to get close to the structure on account of the Intense heat The warehouse, containing in .the neighborhood of 30,000 barrels of whiskey, was instanteously a seething caldron and it was seen - no one inside the big structure could escape. The warehouse, in crushing the smaller structure near by, set that on fire, and the whiskey from the burning barrels flooded everything in that section. Large streams ran down grade toward the river and in a short time there waa a foot of whiskey in the cattle pens east of the warehouse where 8,200 steers were chained fast. Their distress lasted but a few mo ments, however, for they were soon roasted to death or suffocated. They were the property of Dood & Keifer, of Chicago. It is Impossible to com pute their loss, but it will amount to thousands of dollars. The two fermenting houses were speedily food for the flames. They are two structures of good dimensions and both of them were practically de stroyed. The firemen got near the fire with difficulty and the water had little or no effect. A high wind was blowing and fanning the.flamesln the direction of the Monarch distillery, and for a time it was feared that the fire would sweep along the entire river bank. However, the heroic work of the firemen began to tell and at 7 o'clock the fire seemed under control with no likelihood of a further spread. Tb Dlspsnsary. Wilmington, N. 0., June 4. 1904.

Nothing is known in government circles here to-night regarding the rumored capture of General Kuroki, the officials at the war office having received' no news from the front since the announce ment this afternoon of the fight at Baimattza. It is pointed out that news of such great importance would not be held baek a moment if it had been received. A Series ol Fights. Tokio, June 5. The commander of the Japanese forces south of the Yalu river telegraphed from Seoul to-day news of a series of fights north of Pu Lan Tien, about forty miles north of Port Adams, Llao Tung peninsula Monday, received from Japanese cav alry scouting in the vicinity of Chun Ohia Tung. It was learned that Cos sacks had been located at Telissu and the Japanese thereupon dispatched in fantry and cavaly, which defeated and pursued them. The Russian force con sisted of three squadrons. At Chang-Chia-Tun this force was joined by two additional squadrons and the Japanese again attacked and defeated the Rus sians. Five companies of infantry and a battery of horse artillery joined the Russians at Lung-Wans;- Mlao, where the Japanese attacked for the third tlma and the Russians fell back to Telissup. where the Japanese and Russian cavalry continued in contact Monday night. Rosslao Report. St. Petersburg, June 4, 3:30' P. M. The war office has received news of a sharp fight twenty miles north of 8almatizs, north of FengWang Cheng, June 1, In which eight Cossacks were killed and twenty two wounded. The Japanete losses are not known. Five companies of General Rennenkam- pff'a Cossacks discovered Japanese de tachments at Fen Chou Ling pass half way between Salmatszaand Ajlu djan. The Cossacks dismounted and attacked on foot, but owing to the difficult nature of the ground and the atrong defensive position held by the enemy and the latter's atubborn resist ance, the attack was not pressed and the Cossacks drew off. No particular importance is attached at the war office to the appearance of this detach ment of the enemy, it being believed that (General Kuroki is keeping his flank well protected in order to rid himself of the spying eyes of the Cot- sacks. The war office hasfreceived no fresh news from the Liao. Tung. Since the receipt of General Stoes sel's report the general staff is con vinced that the Japanese losses in the fighting about Kin Chou were greater than officially admitted. It la known that only the seriously wounded were included in that category. There are indications that both of the com manders are pursuing this plan, as the wounds made by the small calibre high velocity bullets used in modern warfare, unless they reach a vital spot. heal quickly and in a few weeks most of the wounded men are again ready for active service. Great Battle Imminent. St. Petersburg, June 4. The general public at the Russian capital is imbued with the belief that Impor tant military developments are im pending at L'.ao Yang and that a gen eral engagement between General Kuroki's and General Kuropatkln's armies is imminent. Although the authorities are doing nothing to discourage the Idea, the best informed circles at the war office do not antici pate a decisive battle Immediately. The war office's information does not indicate that the Japanese have concentrated for an attack on Kuro- patkin, and it is said that they are not yet ready to assume the offensive. Nevertheless, It Is known that differ ences of opinion exist at the Russian headquarters as to the advisability of taking the aggressive, and it is be lieved that this matter was the subject of the conference between the com mander-ln-chief and the viceroy at Mukden Tuesday. Kuropatkln's po sition is becoming very formidable. both in number and character of the troops at his disposal. Large, re inforcements of field artillery have arrived, nevertheless, Kuropatkin does not consider himself strong enough to risk the possibility of a de feat which might be irretrievable.

Young died about fire minutes after the po liceman first saw blm. The woman was taken to a police station, where she collapsed. There was a remarka ble scene in the station when Young's partner, a man named Millio, called there. He said Young never carried a revolver and that be did not believe the death was due to a self-inflicted wound. Millin said that Young, who came here from England ten or fifteen years ago a poor man, was worth more than half a million dollar. Shortly after Mlllln made this state ment, Mrs. Patterson was brought Into the station and taken to the coro ner's office. Millin was leaning against the rail when he saw ber. Be started at her with a rush. She shrank back against a detective. Millin again rushed at her, but two or three detec tives grabbed him and htld him until the woman was out of sight. Millin shouted at her as she left tbe station houie. The woman was taken to Coroner Brown's private office and eloseted with him. While there Millin appeared. He tried to break Into the room and get at tbe woman again, but was prevented. He called the woman names and shouted that be would kill her if he had a weapon. Mrs. Patterson made a ttateme&t to the coroner. She said she was the niece of the cashier of a leading New York bank. Continning, Mrs. Pat terson said she beard a muffled report directly Young had told ber be was going to leave her. She said she did not see any pistol. She said she be lieved he shot himself with the pistol In bis coat-pocket. The ball in which Mrs. Patterson was held, was at first fixed at $1,000, she being held as a witness, but this was later increased to $5,000 by the coroner on the request of the police officials. Millin, the partner of Young, insists upon being connected with the case, and was held in $1,000 ball aa a witness, which he furnished at once. The coroner later looked over the statement made by Mrs. Patterson, and found some testimony which he had not made public. Mrs. Patterson in her statement bad said that while riding down West Broadway abe heard a muffled report of a pistol shot. "How do you know It was a pistol shott" the coroner asked. "Because I took the pistol out of his pocket and put it back again," abe answersd. "After the shooting." "Yes." An autopsy was performed on the body of Young. At the conclusion of the autopsy the examining physician said he waa unable to say whether the wounds was self-inflicted or not. The bullet entered the- body high up on the left side. It had a downward course, passed through tbe left lung and lodged In the fourth vertebrae. Later in the day the coroner com mitted Mrs. Patterson Jo the Tombs without ball. There was no formal accusation made against ber, but the coroner decided it wa better not to commit ber as a witness. Young was an Englishman by birth. He was brought to this country in 1890 by the old Manhattan Club as a representative amateur athlete of Eng land. Young several years ago pur chased race horses, one of them being "Eonye," which won the Burns handicap, one of the big stase racea in California. Mrs. Young, then a bride, trained the horse, and nearly $50,000 was won by them on the race. Young brought a string of horses East with him when he came hereabout a month ago. The most noted of them are Cunard and Water Course. Mrs. Patterson met Young in Cali fornia and It is understood she came east the same time, he did. Accord ing to Young's friends, the trip to Eu rope had for Its object the breaking off of bis acquaintance with Mrs. Patter son. Mrs. Young left the pier when told of her husband's death and waa taken to a friend's home. She was com pletely prostrated. The coat and shirt worn by Young have been examined In the coroner's office. There was no trace of powder marks and no bullet hole in the coat pocket in which the pistol was found PARIS GREEN.
