DON'T RISK A "PENNY. GET WELL FIRST. For 3 years I've bn a rhy!cian! I have trtl nearly two million cas? 'KurHr you'll flmlt that nurh experience must hv tau(ht m imm ertalntia. '.AnJ All tfiat I know of dlsas and cure all that I have proven to b? worth knowing Is conder. M into my rix books for tha Sick. . Write for a.frt copy to-tlay. Thy tell of my jrreat discovery that practically all li'.seanes can l prmaneiitl cured through the gjrmrthetlc Nerves. Not the nerve we feel with, see with, hear vith. but. the Instd nerves. It Is these that unconcious!y operate the vital Crrans the Heart. Liver, KMneys, Drain, etc. Vhen the InslJe nerv get run down, that Organ which is weakest in the holy loses its power to act properly. It then throws its work uion tN other Organs. These Organs, in turn, become affected through overwork, and so scarcely any ase Is found lth'.ut complications. I proved It useless to doctor the individual Orfran themselves while the Nerve-power to fully operate them was larkintr. 8datives temjorarily lader.ed the pain, but Increased the distress afterwards. Tonics revived the drooping powers, only to Insure relapse so soon as the stimulus was withdrawn. Of what use to hourly move ahead the hands of a watch if its mainspring bo seriously weakened? There is but one sensible thins to do, viz. sti'fcn up the mainspring. That 13 what my. now famous, prescription Dr. Snoop's Kestorative does. It acts directly upon the Sympathetic Nerve Centers Just as steam acts In an Engine. It provides, through these Inside nerves, the power to make the weakest organ "do Its duty. It enables weak organs to cast off their clogirtng waste matte", and to rt pair their worn tissue. ' It runs the human mill. at fall capacity, till that mil! produces enough new material to keep lts!f running without further help.. So sure am I of this Restorative that I authorlie certain Druggists everywhere to supply it on a month's trial, to practically all who write me for that privilege. To supply it at my expense If it fails to benefit at your expense if it cures. The cost la but $.".50 for nix bottles, including my professional help during treatment. Could anything better prove my faith In this system than this voluntary test? Could any one furnish you better grounds for confidence? You should get my book, which tells how to cure diseases permanently. Write for it to-day now you can't get well too soon. Just specify which of the six you ned. Ilook 1 on Dyspepsia.

a rcxSm on the second floor find two of the nursea carried her to the engine-house on South street, east of the hospital. When she left her rooom a large amount of jewelry was left upon the table. The nurse, ;M!s Watkins, later went into the building and soon found the jewelry. Miss Kate Reach, of North Madison, Ind., a nurse at the hospital, had a thrilling experience in escaping from the burning buildlug. She crept through the halls of the second floor, and the smoke was so dense that she could not tell when she had reached the balcony in the rear of the building. In her excitement she stumbled over the balcony railing and fell to the ground. She . was picked up in a semi-conscious condition by Frank C. Lowry, a Journal reporter, and carried across the street. A physician was called, and he said that Miss Reach was Injured internally, and her ankle was badly sprained and bruised. It Is thought she will recover. ELEVATOR MAN'S BRAVERY. One of the heroic Incidents of the fire was the constant running of the elevator by one of the employes. The elevator kept running: to all the floors and brought down patients as fast as they could be got out. At times the smoke was so dense that the man could not tell when he had leached ' the floor, lie was accompanied on all of his rtlps by Sergeant Ilagerman, of the police force. Sister Nordica, aged eighty-four, the oldest sister in the hospital, was on the top floor at the time the fire broke out. She was seated in a chair and was too feeble to aid herself. She was the last one of the sisters to be removed from the building. Two policemen and a Journal reporter carried the aged sister through the smoke to the street. DOCTORS ON SCENE. Within half an hour a largo corps of doctors and the city ambulances were upon tha scene and the task of administering to the ' riedy patients began. They were made ' as comfortable as possible under the circumstancf?. but had to be placed five and ix aud even more in a room. Mont of the patients collapsed after the fire had been extinguished and the smoke driven out of the rooms. During the excitement some twtnty or thirty patient: were carried from the building and stretched out upon the floor of engine house No. 2. which is jut east of the hospital. Here men and women were stretched out side by side, most of them lying quiet as if dead, while around the stove clustered those strong enough to sit up and only partially dressed. In the wards on the lower floors, where fcome of the sickest patients lay, the scene was touching beyond description. Women, wild eyed and frightened, clutched the bed clothing und sat up clamoring to know if they were going to be left there to burn up and tuen sinking helplessly back upon the bed. Through the whole building echoed the uncanny screams of the women and the deep roar of terror-stricken, but helpless men. The top floor was the first to be reached vby the rescuers. It was utterly dark and stiffling with smoke, from which came a din of moans and pleas for help. The first two men to reach the top of the stairway found patients massed and fighting at the top. When they heard the steps upon the stairs those nearest the edge plunged headlong down into the arms of the men. All was darkness and the rescuers had trouble in fighting their way out of the mass. After a few minutes lanterns were brought and the patients were gathered up anil carried below. SISTER SUPERIOR MAY DIE FROM THE SHOCK Seriously 111 and Carried from Building Condition Precarious.

was seriously ill in the hospital, and the shock and the excitement prostrated her. She was carried from the building and when the fire was under control was taken to the parlor of the infirmary. Her condition at 4 o'clock this morning was so precarious that the attending physicians said that she might succumb to the nervou3 sheck and die within a few hours. SISTER SUPERIOR STELLA WAS POPULAR

Sister Superior Stella has been a popular director of the hospital, and the news of her serious condition will be-heard with regret by hundreds of persons who have' been patients or visitors at the Institution. She was well liked by the nurses and other subordinates and her cheery words and smile were always welcomed by the sick. She so Impressed, President Roosevelt when he was a patient at the hospital for a few hours that he. remembered her with an autograph photograph of himself when he returned to Washington. EXGIXEER DUNN FOUND PROSTRATE ON BALCONY A f 'ory was in circulation last night to the effect that William Dunn", the night engine; t of the institution, had not-been seen since the origin of the fire, 'and for a time it was feared that he had been burned to death. He was later found, however, and it was found that he had been lying prostrate on a. rear balcony, having ben overcome by smoke while In the act of assisting the patients to escape. Dunn could give no explanation of the origin of th fire, but said that it did not start from the boiler room, as he had banked the fires a short time prior to the discovery of the blaze in the kitchen. YOUNG DOCTORS DO GREAT WORK Great credit Is due the City Hospital corp of doctors and the young doctors of the City Dispensary for the work they did at St. Vincent's fire. While the nurses were hysterical from fright the doctors administered to the wants of the patients. The City Hospital ambulance, with Drs. Cook, Wallace, Davis, Marshall and Dixon, reached the fire fifteen minutes after the alarm was sounded and a few minutes before the City Dispensary ambulance. ST. VINCENTS WAS A POPULAR HOSPITAL St. Vincent Hospital was conducted by the Sisters of Charity, who came to this city about 1SS0. Their first institution was on East Vermont street, where the home of the Little Sisters of the Poor- is located. The Sisters of Charity soon became one of the most popular of the Catholic orders, and when a hospital was proposed funds were not lacking. The old Ray Hotel property at the southeast corner of Delaware and South streets was purchased, the building torn down and work begun on St. Vincent Hospital. It was equipped and ready for occupancy in The hospital has been one of the most popular In the State. It received patients from many cities. In 1002, when President Roosevelt was taken ill on his trip through the West, he went to St. Vincent's to have n. slight operation performed. The President had spoken briefly from the Columbia Club, and was driven quickly to the hospital, where Dr. John II. Oliver and other surgeons awaited him. The President was so well pleased with his treatment that he sent a photograph of himself to the Sister Superior as a momento of his visit. Bishop Chatard established the 'first St. Vincent infirmary In the city, and brought the Sisters of Charity here from Baltimore. Old St. Joseph Church and Seminary was used for the infirmary. It was then purely a charitable institution, although contributions were received from patients who were able to pay. The same rule always has been observed, but with the enlargement of the sphere of influence of the sifters, regular rates for pay patients were established. The Sisters of Charity is a religious community founded by St. Vincent de Paul in 1633. Its object is the care of the poor, especially the sick, and its members are everywhere the servants of the poor and afflicted.

Admiral Toro'i official report settles the juefttioii nit to how the battleship l'elropnvlovsk van destroyed, lie may It wan blown up by a mine laid by the Jopautie. LUNTjO.V, April HJ. Humors were circulated yesterday that the bnttleulilp Sevastopol had been destroyed by the Japanese, that one or two more ships hntl been disabled and that Port Arthur had fallen. These rnmori were not confirmed, and probably had no base. Viceroy Alexleft ha hoisted his fluff on the Sevastopol. LONDON, April Hi. Skirmishing along the Vnlu is becoming more frequent as the Japanese and Russians line up on opposite sides of the river. There has been no serious fighting yet. TOGO'S REPORT ON PORT ARTHUR FIGHT WASHINGTON, April 16. The Japanese legation to-night received the following cable dispatch, dated Tokio, April 16: "Admiral Togo reports that ' the combined fleet, as previously planned, commenced on April 11 the the eighth attack on Port Arthur. The fourth and the fifth destroyer flotillas and the fourteenth torpedo flotilla and the steamer Keryo reached the mouth of Port Arthur at midnight of the lüth and effected the laying of mines at several points outside of the port, defying the enemy's searchlight. "The second destroyer flotilla discovered at dawn of the 13th one Russian destroyer trying to enter the harbor, and after ten minutes' attack sunk her. Another Russian destroyer was discovered coming from the direction of Llao-Tlshan and was attacked, but she managed to flee into the harbor. On our side no casualties, except two seamen on the Ikazuchi slightly wounded. There was no time to rescue the enemy's crew, which drowned, as the Rayan approached. The third fleet arrived outside of Port Arthur at 8 a. m., when the Bayan CJime out and opened fire. Immediately afterward the Novik, Askold, Diana, Petropavlovsk, Pobieda and Poltava came out and made an offensive attack. Our third fleet, hardly answering: and gradually retiring, enticed the enemy fifteen tmiles southeast of the port, when our first' fleet, informed through wireless telegraph from the third fleet, suddenly appeared before the enemy and attacked them. "While the enemy was trying to regain the port a battleship of the Petropav lovsk type struck mines laid by us the previous evening and sank at 10:32 a. m. Although another ship was observed to have lost freedom of movement, the confusion of the enemy's ships prevented us from identifying her. They finally managed to regain port. "Our third fleet suffered no damage, and the enemy's damage, beside above mentioned, probably slight also. Our first fleet did not reach firing distance. Our fleets retired at 1 p. m. and prepared for another attack. They resalled April 14 toward Port Arthur. The second, the fourth and the fifth destroyer flotillas and the ninth torpedo flotilla also joined at 3 a. m. and 7 a. m. No enemy's ship was found outside of the port. Our first fleet arrived at the port at ü a. m. and discovered three mines laid by the enemy aud destroyed all. The Nasuga and Nis?hin were dispatched to the west of Liao-Tishan aud made indirect bombardment for two hours, it being their first action. The new forts on Liao-Tishan finally silenced. Our forces tetired at 1:30 p. m." The Kasuga and Nisshin were purchased from Argentina. In concluding his report Admiral Togo says: "The tact that not a single man was injured in these successive attacks must be attributed to his Majesty's glorious virtue. The officers and men proved gallant and did their utmost in the discharge of their duties, despite many things that seemed beyond human control. The ships freely moving over the enemy's ground without suffering any damage must be attributed to heavenly assistance." ALEXIEFF RAISES FLAG ON THE SEVASTOPOL ST. PETERSBURG, April 16.-Viceroy Alexieff took over the command of the Russian fleet at Port Arthur this afternoon and raised his flag on board the battleship Sevastopol. A report gained wide currency here to-day that the Sevastopol has been lost, but the Associated Press is authoritatively informed the government has received no advices intimating that such a. disaster has occurred. On the contrary, an official dispatch given out to-night shows the Sevastopol to have been unharmed. RUSSIANS MASSING 20,000 MEN ON YALU TOKIO, April 16.-Frivatc advices from Korea confirm the reported massing of 20.000 Russian troops on the right bank of the Yalu river, with the object of opposing the Japanese invasion of Manchuria. Although it is unknown when and where the Japanese will attempt a crossing of the Yalu, it Is still believed that when ready they will force a passage without serious loss. It has been discovered tint error was made in reporting the number of Russians killed in a skirmish at the Yalu river last Tuesday, west of Wiju. The number was given as twenty-two, but it has been learned that an error was made In translating the cipher telegram. Tho number actually killed was only three. NO BATTLE AT WIJU; MERELY SKIRMISHING SEOUL, April 16. No battle has boon fought at Wiju. The Russians occupy strongly fortified positions at Chiu-Tien Cheng (on the Manchuria side of the river, and about ten miles north of Antung), and on Tigtr hill, a rocky promontory jetting into the Yalu river. The Japanese forces and batteries are screened behind the hill between the river and Wiju. A recent dispatch from Llao-Yang said the Russian Intrenchments on the Yalu had been completed. The center of the line of forty positions is at Antung. The right flank rests at Tatung-Kiao, about twentyfive milt's southwest of Antung. and the left at Chlu-Tien-Cheng. It has been reported that there are about 20,00) Russians, composed of infantry, cavalry and artillery, at Antung ready to oppose the Japanese if they attempt to cross the river, and a recent dispatch from Tokio says It was known there that the Russians were in force on the Manchurian side of the Yalu. The major force of the first Japanese army to land in Korea is near Wiju. according to a dispatch from Korea, and the Japanese are said to be landing at Chulsan. near the mouth of the Yalu. There have been frequent skirmishes between Russian and Japanese troops in the vicinity of Wiju during the last week. General Haraguchl. the commander of the Japanese forces here, has established a censorate at his headquarters at SV-oul and will also probably establish a similar bureau at Chemulpo, Korea, which Is more convenient than Nagasaki, Japan, where dispatches have up to the present been contort d.

GLEN DIVE, Mont.. April 16. The melting snows have disclosed thousands of dead sheep, on the ranges. The loss by the winter snows, while not unusually heavy, is serious. Hundreds of men are skinning the sheep and burning the remains to prevent an epidemic. V, The Mammoth and the Mosquito What has come to piss in thousands of years teems hardly credible. Primitive man, a weakling in comparison to modern man, was able to conquer the huge monsters of thousands of years a;ro, such as the Jfammoit. and to-day they are dead forever- yet the mosquito and fly have never been conquered. It is now time for the scientist to devise methods for tilling the mosquito and fly, so that they will go to join the mammoth and the monster lizards. The mosquitoes and flies are dangerous enemies cf man because they spread contagion. The mosquito often carries the perm of malaria with his bite. The housefly spreads germs of disease over our food. These bacterial germs, ever hunting for the weak spot, find a place in our blood, and then we suffer from grip, catarrh, consumption, or malaria. Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y., says: "There would be no grip epidemics, the germs of consumption, or malaria would find no place in the human economy, if the blood were pure, if the lungs, heart and other organs were fed on good blood. Toisons should not be allowed to accumulate in the body to be safe it is best to take a gentle laxattve at least once a week." Such a vegetable laxative as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets contains nothing which could harm the system.
