A DOUBTFUL RUMOR

Keport of All Day Bombarduient of Vladivostock f Is Not Credited. KOT111XG COXFIKMS IT Bt. Petersburg Story Is Most' Likely an Exaggerated Version of Sunday's KngaKemenU , Considerable Curiosity Is Expressed Concern in g Vlatlivostock's Resisting Powers. Yin Kow, March 8. An official dispatch received here says the Japanese are again bombarding Vladivostock. This news lacks confirmation from other sources. London, March 8. In a dispatch from St. Petersburg a correspondent gives a rumor that the czar has received & telegram to the effect that the Japanese fleet bombarded Vladivostock all day Monday. According to this rumor, only trifling damage was inflicted to the Russians, but one or two Japanese cruisers were sunk. No word confirming this story has been received in any other quarter and although there is nothing to show that there was another bombardment of Vladivostock on Monday, this report is most likely an exaggerated version of Sunday's bombardment There is considerable curiosity here concerning the resisting power of Vladivostock, which has long been regarded as the Gibraltar of the far East. Vladivostock is known to be better equipped, as a naval base, and to have greater docking and repairing sources, than Port Arthur, but doubts are expressed as to the character of its defenses. Russia has been settled there for lorty years and it is consequently considered likely that the defenses and guns at this place are of a small, obsolete character. It is understood that during the past few years all the available new guns and war material which it was possible to send over the single line transSiberian railroad have been used for the strengthening of Port Arthur and points in Manchuria, leaving Vladivostock with the old type guns of short range. It is reported that Vladivostock is ill-supplied with provision's and necessaries. No moro war news from the far East is published today. Dispatches from Tokio speak of the sacrifices made -by the Japanese nation. According to one correspondent the mikado is abandoning all luxuries, the court is following his example and all are going to live abstemiously until the war is ended. A Kobe correspondent says the crown prince of Japan and Prince Arisugava are going to the seat of war. Other dispatches say that public and private concerns are all curtailing their expenses in order to aid the government in the projecution of the war. According to a Che Foo correspondent it i3 expected that the Japanese will reach the left bank of the lower Yalu about March 10. A large force of Russians is strongly entrenched on the hills in the Antung district, adjacent and parallel to the river. Their position is similar to that which the Uoers held on the Tugela river. LINGERING NEAR Jap Fleet Again Sails in Sight of Vladivostock. St. Petersburg, March 8. Viceroy Alexieff has telegraphed the czar from Mukden under Monday's date as follows: "Supplementing my telegram of March I most humbly report that at 1:25 p. m., five out of seven of the enemy's ships opened fire on Forts Suvaroff and Linevitch, on the town on the roadstead and also the valley of the river Obyassneniye. The firing lasted until 2:15 p. m., at when hour the Japanese squadron began to steam southward, disappearing out of sight at 5:30 p. m. There were no losses on the batteries or the fortifications. In the town one seaman was wounded and one woman was killed. "According to information just re- ( ceived the enemy's squadron again appeared in sight of the fortress at 8 o'clock this morning." A later message from the viceroy says: "The commandant at Vladivostock reports that yesterday's bombardment resulted in no serious damage to the port. The fortress did not return the enemy's fire. "Today at midday the enemy again entered Ussuri bay and approached the point from which they bombarded the harbor on March 6th. They left again making for the open seas." IN CRITICAL POSITION Russia's Northern Squadron Believed to be Hemmed in. London, March 8. The Japanese legation here has received no official Information regarding the -bombard- ! not crir.c nor Irritate the alimen tary uu.il. They act ncntly yet r-roinrtiy. c!ca:ss elteclually and

ment of VTaaivbStock. it is beTIevea at the legation, however, that the Japanese are now between the Russian cruiser squadron and Vladivostock, and there is reason to believe that the Russian squadron is in the vicinity of Possiet bay. Russian official dispatches do not mention this squadron, and this fact lends color to the belief that the Jautnesp warships have Ehut it out cf Vladivostock. It U pointed out at the legation mat if this is true the Russian vessels are in a critical position cince they must run the gauntlet of the Japanese squadron off Vladivostock or the Japanese squadron off Tort Arthur before reaching a Russian port.

Would-be Privateers Turned Down. St. Petersburg, March 8. It is learned that the Russian authorities have been approached Indirectly by American shipping firms desiring authority to fit out privateers to prey on Japanese commerce, but that they met with no encouragement. In Just what forms those O-Tera came or on whose behalf they were made cannot be ascertained, as the government would not even consider them. It is announced officially that Russia will not issue letters of marque. Covering Movements of Troops. Tokio, March 8. It is believed that the Vladivostock squadron is now in the vicity of the mouth of the Tumen river, engaged in covering the movements of Russian troops from Possiet bay to the valley of Tumen. All Quiet at Port Arthur. Port Arthur, March 8. Everything is quiet here. OHIO DiSGRACUD Mcb at Springfield Lynches a Negro Murderer. - Springfield, O., March S. Richard Dixon, a desperate negro, who fatally shot Policeman Chas. Colli3 Sunday morning, was taken from the county jail last night by an infuriated mob, and shot to death in the jail yard, and a few moments later the body was taken to the corner or Main street and Fountain avenue, wnere the mob spent a half hour riddling the body with bullets from seveieu uundred revolvers. Dixon shot Policeman Collis Sunday morning in the former's room in the Jones hotel and Collis died at noon Monday. Collis nad served for twelve years on the force and was regarded as one of the most reliable and efficient men in the police department. He had gone to Dixon's room on the negro's request. Dixon said his mistress had fiis clothes in her possession and had got the consent of Jones, the colored proprietor, to keep Dixon away from his house. Collis accompanied Dixon to the room and in a short time the man and woman angaged in a quarrel which resulted in Dixon shooting the woman, who is variously known as Anna or Mattie Corbin, in the left breast just over the heart. She fell unconscious at the first shot and Collis jumped toward the negro to prevent his escaping from the room. Dixon then fired four balls into Collis, the last of which penetrated his abdomen. Dixon then fled from the room and as he started to go down the stairs the dying policeman sent two bullets through the glass door, neither of which struck the mark. Collis then staggered down the stairs and on reaching the street emptied the remaining chambers of his gun at the flying negro. He was not hit, however, and. went immediately to police headquarters and gave himself up. He was taken to jail and Collis and the wounded negress were taken to the hospital. All afternoon the killing of Collis was the sole topic of conversation and both Police Judge Miller and Common Pleas Judge Mower are freely censured. They have both sentenced him at various times to the jail and the work house for from two to six months, but he was always released before the expiration oi his sentence. It was the general feeling that a trial would only result in an insufficient sentence anc this argument was so effectually used by the mob leaders that the negro was taken from the jail and lynched. Alleged False Prosecution. Rising Sun, Ind., March 8. James Gillespie's attorneys late yesterday filed a plea in abatement, claiming that the prisoner nas been made the victim of false prosecution. It was alleged that undue influence was used on the grand jury that indicted Gillespie and others for the murder of his sister. Judge Downey will give his decision in tho matter today. Murder Case Dismissed. Hammond, Ind., March 8. The murder case against Truman Beam has been dismissed in superior court by Prosecutor McAleer. Beam was charged with choking his sweetheart, Martha Lawrence, to death near Valparaiso a year ago. He was tried twice, the Jury falling to agree both times. TERSE TELEGRAMS The senate haa passed the naval appropriation bill. Fire destroyed the Crystal ice plant In Wichita, Kan., entailing a loss of $50,000 Insurance $10,000.

David Sears, a wealthy bacheler of Boston, has given Harvard 1250.000 a a testimonial of regard for President Eliot.

"Since I was cured of Rheumatism by your Paine's Celery Compound I have written lettei-s to twelve or fifteen of my friends who also had rheumatism, and most of them have thanked me for my advice. "My hands were beginning to stiffen at the joints, and every joint in my body was sore when I began taking Paine's Celery Compound. "My condition was so bad that I would sleep every night with a hot water bottle. "Even then would get only half rested. "I could hardly get about the house, and though I usually was an active housekeeper, I had to let my little daughter do nearly all the work. "They urged me to get a Avheel chair, but I said I would rather sit in the house until I died. I am better and more active than I have been for a long while, and I have no more rheumatism pains.

NOW: "I am better and more ac-

tive. No more Rheumatic Pains. I I sleep well. Everybody is surprised." The Cause of Eheumatism. It was Professor Edward E. Phelps, M. D., LL. D., of Dartmouth College, the famous discoverer of paine's Celery Compound, who laid down the principle: "Trace every disease or pain to the TRUE CAUSE. Pain is only the sign or symptom. It is idle to treate the pain itself. The only true cure for suffering is the cure that CURES THE TRUE CAUSE inner NERVE weakness." When the organs that make and purify blood are not doiner their work fete, poisonous matter. This collectproperly, the system fills with efing in the muscles and joints, and along the nerves causes Rheumatism, flout, Lumbago, and their kindred ills. To try to make the blood-purifying organs do their work by local medicines is not only waste of time, but is harmful. The one way to res fore such organs to activit3" is to give to the nerves the strength to make the oraans lo their work. That is the wise and scientific course by which Professor Phelps's discover', Paine's Celery Compound, does its work ind achieves it astonishing victories. It cures not only Rheumatism, but every disease or pain or ache that results from any derangement of the inner organs. All the organs of the body depend ( on the INNER NERVES, and Paine's Celery Compound gives the nerve (system the strength to maks all the ' organs work in health and harmony.
