There are many people who are sick and suffering from a complication of diseases, who resort to medicines that give temporary relief, and form the habit of taking these medicines for years. This is entirely wrong. Disease should and can be removed if It Is reached. In stomach, liver and kidney troubles the complications arise from the food we take Into the stomach, the impurities it contains, in the air that we breathe, and a specific acting directly on these organs, thoroughly cleansing them and the blood, will expel all disease germ and microbes from the system, leaving it in a healthy, normal condition that nature intended it to be. Quaker Herb Extract is a specific for the above diseases, and it effects a per manent, positive cure. You do not form a habit taking this medicine. It cures you to stay cured, and the per manency of a cure is demonstrated by the almost instant relief you obtain, the increased appetite, the gain of flesh and the building up of the entire system. Quaker Herb Extract and a complete stock of the time-tried Quaker Herb Remedies can always be found in the stores of these enterprising druggists: James W. Wcis. E. R. StaufTer & Co., Otto Ncgele. M.

BOLD BEDS OF RUSSIA.

They Rcb a Customs Cashier cf $193,000 with the Aid of a Bcmb. TWO OF THEH SHOT TO DEATH Five Others Captured, but the Other Eight in the Gang Get Away with the loot. St. Petersburg, Oct. 20. The most daring robbery plot in the annals of the St. Petersburg police was executed when at about noon a band of fifteen revolutionist!?, arm-d with bombs and revolvers, attacked a cashier of the custom house who was proceeding in a carriage from a sub-treasury with a sum variously given as $120,000 to ?.X0,000. They wrecked the vehicle 1th a bomb, but were driven off bjr two gen d'armes forming the cashier's escort, who made a courageous defense of the treasure. When the bomb exploded the. cashier, his assistant, and two custom house guards jumped out of the carriage and fled in a panic, abandoning the money, but the gee d'armes, though wounded by the explosion, unslung their rifles and opened fire on the revolutionists. Two of tho Keds Killed. They were soon joined by some pass ing soldiers and several policemen, andl the revolutionists, who were mere yorths, fled before the growing numbers of the defenders of the treasure. A running fight ensued lasting fifteen minutes, and extending for several blocks from the scene of the outrage. The revolutionists, who threw two or more bombs in their flight, lost two men killed and had five of their num ber captured. The firing of the rifles and revolvers and th explosions' of the bo-nbs were audib? throughout the business district asd caused great ex citement. Robbers Get Away with $103,000. The total amount in the cashier's possession was otlicially stated to be $330,000, of which a package containing $103,000 vtas stolen, lint it is said to be possible that the amount of the booty may be raised to $200,000, as the count of the smaller packages has not yet been finished. The scene of the attack was carefully chosen in a narrow street bordering on the Ekaterinsk canal and overhung by a house from one of whose windows the first bomb was thrown. Immediately after the explosion a group of revolutionists on the sidewalk drew revolvers and attempted to surround the carriage, with the result already detailed. Captives Itefuse to Talk. In spite of wholesale arrests and the cordoning at noon of the scene of the robbery most of the revolutionists made clean their escape with booty amounting close to $200,000. Up to midnight the police had no definite clews, and released all those persons arrested except five who were captured during the battle. None of of these has been identified. All of them persistently refuse to answer questions. Lxcept the two robbers no one was killed, and only one person, a woman, dangerously hurt. GOES TO THE RED TREASURY Police Are, However, Gathering: In Some of the Plotters. The plunder from the amazing robbery has been hidden, apparently, beyond the danger of recapture. The purpose of the bomb throwers, to pour coin into the Impoverished coffers of the revolutionists, has thus been achieved. The police dragnet has gathered in twenty-one persons. Among these prisoners are other actors in the robbery, including the driver of the cab in which rode a woman whose part it was to carry the leather bags containing the booty to safety. A man who was with this woman in the cab lias been captured and identified. The woman herself was thought to have been captured in the person of a Gypsy who looked like her. This occurrence gave rise to a story that the money had been recovered, but according to the latest information this story is denied. Three customs officers who Mere in charge of the vehicle conveying the cash at tbe time of the robbery have been arrested. One of these men Is named Hermann. The, investigations are beginning to point toward a conspiracy in the customs service. Embalmed Body of a Baby. " Philadelphia. Oct. 20.

MANDATE OF THE LAW

Urged by a San Francisco Official for Segregating the Jap School Pupils. ILIANY OF THEM GROWN MED" White Men Would Be Similarly Exeluded Treaty, However, 31ight Make All the Difference. San Fraucisco, Oct. 20. "When Sees rotary Victor Metcalf arrives to inquire into the action taken by tho board cf education of the city and county of San Francisco in providing a separate school for Japanese children, we will meet him more than half way," war, the statement of President Aaron Altman. "The position taken by the board was for the best interests VISCOUNT 8IUZO AOKI. of the public schools of San Francisco, and in strict conformity with the stata laws. We lolieved.that the best in terests of schools would be subserved! by sending children of Japanese parent age to a separate school. If we have erred and can be shown whereby we have done so the board will be more than pleased to correct its mistake if any has been made. Done According to Law. "Without receding from our position the board claims that the fault if any exists is with the legislative body of tbe state. In plain and unmistakable language that particular section of the statute under which the board acted stated that all children of Oriental parentage shall be placed in a separate scheol. The board Would like to have the constitutionality of the statute tested in the courts." School Superintendent Explains. City School Superintendent Alfred Lonconveri said the coming of Secretary Metcalf was not necessary, as the exclusion of Japanese from the schools provided for white children is required! by law. "Many of the so-called Japanese school children," said Ronconvni, "are men of 20 to 25 years of age. Ibcy have no right to attend schools ertablished for our little boys and girls, ard we would not allow white men of the same age to go to these schools. These pupils are largely of the Japanese servant class, working for their bard and lodging. They are to bo commended for so workings but they are not entitled to go to school like little boys and girls. Treaty Is Another Matter. "We do not deriy Japanese any educational right, but there are separate schools for them, and those they must attend. P.efore the fire there were between 400 and 500 Japanese students in the public schools. A new count is now being made. Of course, if the United States declares our state law in conflict with a treaty, that's another matter. But at present we are guided solely by California law."
