•m %forllealth 222 South Peoria St., CHICAGO, I I I Oct. 7,1902 i§~ Eight months ago I -was so ill that I was compelled to lie or sit down nearly all the time. My stomach wa3 so weak and upset that I could keep nothing on it and I vomited frequently. I could not urinate -without great pain and I coughed so much that my throat ana lungs were raw and sore. The doctors pro nounced it Bright's disease and others said it was consumption. It mattered little to me what they called it and I had no de sire to lire. A sister visited me from St. Louis and asked me if I had ever tried "Wine of Cardui. I told her I had not and she bought a bottle. I believe that it saved my life. I believe many women could save much suffer ing if they but knew of its value. Don't you want freedom, from pain? Take "Wine of Cardui and make one supreme effort to be well. You do not need to be a weak, helpless sufferer. Tou can have a woman's health and do a woman's work in life. "Why not secure a bottle of Wine of Cardui from your druggist to day?

Tokio, Aug. 15.—Vice Admiral Kam imura encountered the Russian Vladi vostok squadron at dawn Sunday north of Tsu island, in the strait of Korea, and attacked the enemy at once. The battle lasted for five hours and result ed in a complete Japanese victory. The Russian cruiser Rurik was sunk and the cruisers Rossia and Gromoboi fled to the northward, after having sus tained serious damage. Tokio is joy ous over the news, as it gives Japan the mastery of the sea and restores commerce The News Confirmed. Chefoo, Aug. 15.—The reports that the Russian cruiser Rurik was sunk in the engagement with the Japanese fleet in the strait of Korea and that two other Russian warships escaped has been authoritatively confirmed. Nagaski, Aug. 15.—Confirmation has leached here of the reports that the Russian cruiser Rurik was sunk in the fighting in the strait of Korea and" that the Russian cruisers Rossia and Grom oboi escaped to the north, having suf fered serious damage. Fleet Tries to Escape. Tokio, Aug. 13.—Admiral Togo has reported as follows: "On August 10 our combined fleet attacked the ene my's fleet near Gugan rock. The Rus sian vessels were emerging from Port Arthur trying to go south. We pur sued the enemy to the eastward. Se vere fighting lasted from one o'clock Wednesday afternon until sundown. Toward the close the enemy's fire weak ened remarkably. His formation be came confused and then his ships scat tered. The Russian cruisers Askold and Novlk and several torpedo boat destroyers fled to the southward. Other of the enemy's ships retreated separately toward Port Arthur. We pursued them and it appears that we inflicted considerable damage. We found life buoys and other articles be longing to the Russian battleship Czarevitch floating at sea. The Czare vitch probably was sunk. We have re ceived no reports from the torpedo boats and the torpedo boat destroyers which were engaged in the attack on the ships of the enemy. The Russian vessels," with the exception of the Askold, the Novik, the Czarevitch and the cruiser Pallada, appear to have re turned to Port Arthur. Our damage was slight. Our fighting power has not been impaired. Tells of Hard Fight. St. Petersburg, Aug. 15.—Viceroy Alexieff in a dispatch to the emperor gives the following report from Capt. Matausevitch, the late Rear Admiral Withoft's chief of staff, under date of August 12: "At dawn of August 10 our Port Ar thur squadron began to make for open sea and emerged from the port at nine o'clock. The squadron consisted of six battleships, the cruisers Askold, Diana, Pallada and Novik, and eight torpedo boats. "The Japanese opposed us with the following force: A first detachment consisting of the battleships Ashai, Mi kaska, Fuji, Yashima and Shikishima, and the cruisers Nisshin and Kasuga a, second detachment, consisting of the cruisers Yakumo, Kasagi, Chitose and Takasago and a third detachment, consisting of the cruisers Akitsushima, [dsumo, Matsushima, Itsukushima and Hashidate, and the battleships Chin Sen, with about 30 torpedo boats. Broke Through Japanese Line. "Our squadron maneuvered to gain a. passage through the line of the ene my's ships. Meantime the Japanese torpedo boats were laying floating mines in the way of our squadron, thus rendering evolutions difficult. "At one p. m. our squadron, after 40 minutes' fighting, succeeding in effect ing a passage, and shaped its course towards Shantung. The enenra fol lowing at full speed, caught up with us frtowly, and at five o'clock fighting Stgain began and continued for some hours without either side obtaining any advantage. Admiral Withoft Killed. "In the battle the commander of our squadron was killed and the captain Df the battleship Czarevitch was wounded and lost consciousness. Al most at the same time the engines and steering gear of the Czarevitch were damaged and it was obliged to stop 40 minutes. This forced the other ships to maneuver around it The command of the squadron devolved upon Rear Admiral Prince Outomsky, and the command of the Czarevitch upon the second in command. c-? "After nightfall the Czarevitch, bet ing unable to follow the squadron and losing sight of it, took a southerly direction in order to attempt to reach Vladivostok under its own steam. It was attacked by torpedo boats during the night, and at dawn was in the vi cinity of Shantung. The officer com manding the squadron, having exam ined and determined the extent of the damage to the ship, concluded that it could not make Vladivostok and al lowed its captain to proceed to Kiau chau for repairs." I a Pitiable Plight. Chefoo,, Aug. 15.—With ||§Admiral Withoft's death, five battleships dam aged, one torpedo boat destroyer stranded, another blown up near Wei- v^mmmmmm* •v%& haiwei, other damaged cruisers and torpedo boats warned to leave ports in which they took refuge and with still others somewhere on the high seas, the Russian squadron from Port Arthur is in a pitiable plight after the battle with the Japanese fleets Must Be Taken at Any Cost. St Petersburg, Aug. 15.—The Bourse Gazette has received the following from its Liaoyang correspondent: "Twelve Japanese regiments have left in the direction of Port Arthur. It is stated on trustworthy authority that the mikado has ordered that Port Ar thur must be taken at any cost *l Armistiee Reported. ^^Sk Chefbo, Aug. 15.—A Chinese' junk just arrived reports that the Russians and Japanese at Port Arthur on Au gust 8 agreed to a short armistice on August 12r "it is stated here that the empress of Japan suggested that the Japanese arrange with the Russians for the safe departure of women and children and non-combatants to Dalny. RIOTERS SPILL MEAT./2 Driver Set Upon by a Crowd at Chi cago and Load Is Scattered About Street. Chicago, Aug. 11.—Disorder connect ed with efforts of stock yards strikers to block deliveries from cold-storage ware houses took place Wednesday. There was rioting near the warehouse of A. Booth & Co., 152 Kinzie street, shortly before noon. One driver was set upon by a crowd and slightly injured. The con tents of his wagon was scattered about the street and the meat was seized by hoodlums, who ran in different direc tions carrying sections of beeves with them. Chicago, Aug. 10.—With an army of more than 300 pickets the Ice Wagon Drivers and Helpers' union Tuesday began a blockade of the retail market and cold-storage business of Chicago. In front of the markets, including big downtown meat stores, and before the cold-storage warehouses, one picket or more was assigned to duty to prevent delivery from the stock yards or else where. The union's determination to extend the strike to the cold-storage warehouses came as a surprise to the packers. It means, according to union officials, that truck teamsters are now involved, as they haul meat from the cold-storage plants. Chicago, Aug. 13.—A break in the strike ranks is threatened. There is dis satisfaction among the packing house teamsters over the manner in which the strike is being conducted. A report is being circulated that the teamsters are discouraged and are ready to go back to work. St. Joseph, Mo., Aug. 12.—One pack er estimates that over a quarter of a million dollars has been lost to wage earners here since the strike was in augurated a month ago. But the em ployes of the packing houses have not been the only losers. The railroads, the street railway company and stock growers have suffered heavily. If losses in all lines were computed the estimate would run beyond $1,000,000. Of the 5,000 men who struck about two-thirds have returned to work. REVIEW OF TRADE. Fairly Encouraging Conditions Exist —Labor Troubles Most Harm ful Feature. New York, Aug. 13.—tR. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: "Mod erate improvement in midsummer means more than an equivalent increase at any other season, and the better trade reported during the past week is conse quently most encouraging. Dispatches from all parts of the country are by no means uniform, in some cases the out look showing no change, while at a few points there have been setbacks but on the whole the progress is unmistakable. Despite some injury to spring wheat the agricultural prospect is very bright, while higher prices promise to neu tralize the effect of such loss in quantity as occurred. Interior buyers have placed liberal fall orders in the leading dry goods markets, and confidence in a large spring trade is becoming general. The approaching presidential election Is viewed with more equanimity than any other contest of recent years, both in financial and industrial circles. "Failures this year were 222 in the United States, against 174 last year and 33 in Canada, compared with 22 a year ago. Bradstreets says. "Industrial condi tions are not altogether promising, in view of the continuance of the meat strike, the Fall River difficulty and the calling out of large numbers of building hands at the metropolis. To-the influ ence of the meat strike is directly trace able the demoralized markets for live stock, which are reported too freely supplied with live animals, and in the advanced quotations for hides, and con sequently for tanned leather, growing out of the scarcity of domestic supplies of the raw material. The scarcity of hides is reported causing a number of tanneries to suspend operations." The Sultan Yields."**"" Constantinople, Aug. 15.—After pro longed pour parlers and considerable haggling on the part of the Turks, a satisfactory solution of the American school question has been arrived at. This matter, which is the most impor tant of the American demands, was settled by extending to American schools the same treatment as that ac corded to schools under the protection of other powers. &&, gg j|Bryan Loses. New"Haven, Conn., Aug. 13.—The su preme court which has been consider ing W. J. Bryan's appeal from the lower court decision, which excluded the "sealed letter" in the Bennett will case, has adjourned, having found no error. By this decision Mr. Bryan loses the ?50,000 bequest MINNESOTA NEWS. Killing Cattle. Dr. H. S. Ward, executive agent oi state live stock sanitary board, said that the board will continue to con demn eows affleted with tuberculosis, although State Auditor a G. Iverson has refused to issue warrants reim bursing the owners in accordance with the Krostue bill passed by the last leg islature. This means that the cows will be killed, but the owners will not receive anything from the state. "We shall go on with our work just the same," said Dr. Ward. "We have been killing cows affleted with tuber culosis at the rate of 75 to 100 a month, and I should say that the average cost to the state was about $17." The action of the state auditor in holding up the warrants is on advice of Judge Daniel Fish of the statue re vision commission who says that the Krostue bill authorizing the payment was repealed by the law cre ting the live stock sanitary board and has brought many protests from Minne sota dairymen who have cows afflicted with tuberculosis. These dairymen say that it was bad enough when the state killed their cows and paid three-fourths of their value. Live Stock at Fair. In the various announcements of Minnesota's great representation in the live stock department at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition it has been stated that the admirable dis play would be sent to St. Louis early in September. This is true, but it should be remembered that this stock will not go to St. Louis until after the Minnesota State Fair and that it will all be exhibited at the State Fair grounds during the week of August 29th to September 3rd. No one will need to go to St. Louis to see what Minnesota can do in the way of pure bred live stock, and, further, no one need go to St. Louis to see the prize winners at that great show, for a great majority of the animals which will take premiums at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition will have been exhibited at the Minnesota State Fair this year. The Minnesota fair is the only one this year which will have national exhibitions in connection with the American Hereford Cattle Breeders' Association and the Ameri can Short-horn Breeders' Association. The fair opens August 29 and closes Sept. 3. Mark H. Donnell. Mark H*. DunneL, former congress man and a distinguished citizen of the Northwest, died at his home in Owa tonna of heart failure, aged eighty-one years. Mr. Dunnell was born in Buxton, Me., July 2, 1822, of Scotch and Eng parentage. He was graduated from Waterville college in 1849 and spent •the next five years in teaching. In January 1865, Mr. Dunnell came to Winona, Minn., becoming a member of the Minnesota legislature in 1867. At the close of this session he was ap pointed state superintendent of public instruction, holding that position for three and a half years. He resigned this office upon election to congress in the fall of f870. He served twelve consecutive years in the national house of representatives. He was retired by a change of political control of his district. He was in pri vate life until 1889, when he was re elected to congress. ,. Wild Cat Spoils Sale. A half-grown wild cat spoiled the sale of a piece of Minnetonka real es tate for P. P. Swenson, a Minneapolis real estate agent, a day or two ago. While Mr. Swenson was showing a prospective buyer and his wife a piece of a tlie at of underbursh and cut across the lot, frightning the buyer's wife almost in to hysterics and giving the agent and prospective customer something of a scare. The man was satisfied with the pro perty and so was his wife until the cat made its appearance, after which they took the first train back to the city. Swenson has bought a gun and is look ing for the wild eat, and the woman has changed her mind about a summer home at Minnetonka. Another Explosion. A second launch explosion oecurred on Lake Minnetonka, and it was only by the rarest good fortune that no lives were lost. The gasoline tank in Frank Muffet's handsome launch, the Piccatonica, ex ploded with terrific force, while Robert McCune, E. L. Jarvis and C. C. Noble were on their way across the lake, and for a few moments it seemed as if there was to be a repetition of the dis aster in which Mrs. George L. Upton lost her life only a few weeks ago.

Many Beautiful Pavilions and Preten tious Buildings Show Forth the Enterprise of American ^-.«-=« ^pf Commonwealths. sa^^C A beautiful city has grown up among the trees on the World's Fair grounds at S Louis. It has nothing to do with the immense exhibit palaces, but is a thing apart The houses in this new city are of various styles of architec ture. Some are palatial in size and ap pearance, while others look merely cozy and Inviting. Never before have so many notable and historic buildings been constructed in one group. This new city might be called the City of the States, for the houses included mit are the state buildings at the Fair. The city is not compact but some what straggling, as befits the pictur esqueness of the view. Yet there is nothing suggestive of a Stringtown on-the-Pike about this city, for the grounds surrounding each of the houses are beautified with gardens typical of the state represented. All the states are to be represented at the World's Fair. This means a great deal, a shining triumph for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, and furnishes another illustration of the fact that this Exposition's complete ness is the marvel of the age. Fifty-one states, territories and pos sessions of the United States have taken the steps necessary to partici pate in the World's Fair on an impor tant scale. But two states were still outside the fold at the last report and in each of these was a well defined movement in favor of being represent ed at the Fair with buildings and ex hibits. New Hampshire, the old home state, and Delaware are the states re ferred to. In New Hampshire a fund for participation is being raised pri vately by patriotic citizens, so that in the event of legislative inaction this commonwealth may be represented. The states and territories are ex pending over $7,000,000 in their efforts to show off to best advantage at the Exposition. This is a million and a third more than was expended at the Chicago exposition by the states. In addition to this, large cities in many states will have municipal exhibits, the funds for which are not included in these figures. The municipal exhibit idea is entirely novel. From a number of the states there will be prominent county exhibits provided by special ap propriation of county funds. This City of the States presents a picture of surpassing beauty. Nature has done much to aid in the creation of the picture. Never before has any exposition been able to grant such ad vantageous sites for state buildings. The buildings are situated on a plateau about seventy-five feet higher than the level ground to the north upon which stand the main exhibit palaces. There are hills and ravines here and there, enabling the landscapists to lay out a most delightful pattern of roads and terraces and lawns. The smallest of the state buildings is that of Arizona, which stands near the southeastern entrance to the grounds. One of the largest is that of Missouri, from the dome of which it Is said that perhaps the very finest view of the Exposition may be enjoyed. This building is a palace in the Italian re naissance architecture, built at a cost of $105,000. Near by is the reproduc tion of the Cabildo at New Orleans, in which the Louisiana Purchase transfer ceremonies took place Louisiana's state building. Ohio has a clubhouse of highly ornate design, in the architec ture of the French renaissance. Illi nois is prominent with a most pre tentious structure, with wide verandas and a commanding cupola. A description of each of the state buildings, with any detail, would more than fill a newspaper page. It is only possible here to hint at some of the interesting structures. California, for instance, has reproduced in exact size the famous old La Rabida Mission Connecticut presents a replica of the Sigosmey residence at Hartford, home of the poetess Lydia Huntley Sigour aey in her time. This building is said to be the finest specimen of purely colonial architecture now standing. The New Kentucky Home, from the Blue Grass State, is a handsome club house that would make some of the mansions along Fifth avenue, New York city, look Insignificant Beau voir, the quaint old house which Jef ferson Davis owned and occupied for many years, is reproduced by Missis sippi. Its wide verandas or galleries give it a most inviting appearance. Washington's headquarters at Morris town, N. J., are reproduced by New Jersey. Virginia contributes Monti cello, the home of Thomas Jefferson. The state of Washington contributes a structure of unique design. It is called the Wigwam, five stories high, built of wood from Washington forests. The building is octagonal, with gigantic diagonal timbers rising from the ground and meeting in an apex ninety feet in the air, above which is built an observatory, from which a splendid view of the Exposi tion may be had. An elevator will carry visitors to the observatory. New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Ar kansas, Colorado, West Virginia, In diana, Wisconsin, Texas and many other states are represented by build ings which cannot fail to arouse ad miration|t|The Texas building is In the shape of a five pointed star, an appropriate idea for the big Lone Star State. Iowa has a magnificent mansion, with classic porticoes and a central tower containing an* observa tory chamber. Kansas, Indian Terri tory and Oklahoma each uphold the growing reputation of the southwest for enterprise and fertility of re sources. BlIimiUHIIIMMIIIIIIWIHMHHnmilHIHHIMIHMNIMI! Here Is Our Record!
