Rev. Dr. James H. Brookes, the eminent divine and pastor of the Washington and Compton Avenue Presbyterian church, St. Louis, passed away at sunrise Easter morn- ing. For this veteran soldier of the cross a more fitting time could not have been selected to call him home While he had been ailing for some time, his death was a surprise to his many friends and admirers. Artillery is roaring between. the Greeks and Turks. So far a number of battles have been fought and honors are about even. The dis patches say both the opposing arm ies fight like demons. The Turkish army out numbers the Greeks two to one. The war between these two countries is liable to involve all Europe if not ended soon. The seventh annual reunion of the United Confederate Veterans will be held at Nashyille, Tennessee, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday Jane 22d, 23rd and 24th, 1897. This will be one of the Jargest and most important reunions of the veterans ever held. The citizens of Nash- ville are making especial efforts to entertain their visitors, and all who possibly can do so should avail themeelves of the opportunity to ate tended. The chances of Dr. Hunter repre- senting Kentucky in the United States Senate have been blighted by the grand jury at Frankfort finding an indictment against him for con- spiracy to bribe three members of the legislature. Since matters haye taken the turn they have it is slmost certain the election of a senator by the present legislature will go by default. In case this happens then it is conceded that at the state elec tion this fall a free silver legislature will be elected and that Senator Blackburn will then succeed himself 1@ Senate. 32. GREEKS BADLY BEATEN. Turkish Victory at Milouna Pass is Complete. GKEEKS DRIVEN LIRECHAFF Loss to Both Sides Reported to be Twenty Thousand. TURKS ADVANCE ON LARISSA. Greeks Go Down Before the Opposition at Tyrnano Also.—Final Fight Ex- pected Soon. Milouna Pass, April 20.—The Turkish victory of yesterday in the Milouna Pass was comple:e The bloody fight kezan on Saturday evening aud had for its scene a series of hills. varying in height, some of them densely covered with brush wood and others comparative ly bare. The morning broke delightfully fine, the sky cloudless and the sun pouring down, perbaps too genial heat. At the base ot the opposing hilla stretched away into the fur distance, where two long lines of smoke, showing where the fire was in progress. The wind was not strong enough to scatter this smoke which seemed at every moment to grow denser and heavier. The din of the tiring was almost deafening. The fight became intensified as the day grew and the clearer light en abled the antagonistic positions to be more clearly discerned. The Turks pulled up the top of the hill three mountan batteries, singing, laughing and weeping with joy like children One battery open ed fire upon the Greeks who were retreating on the plains cf Traves and did terrible execution. Very early in the morning the Greeks, with splendid bravery, charged the Turks and took posses siou of the hill tops stretched below the peaks, and the Turks cheered on by their officers, who led them mag vificentiy, charged the Greeks with the cold steel. An awful scene of blood shed and carnage ensued One could see struggling massas of meu the glint of stee! a3 the bayonet swept through the air, the flash of revolvers and the raised butt end of rifles doing their dreadful clubbing work. The final struggle was brief though appallingly deadiy. The Grecks, fighting to the last, were swept back by the impetuous out slaught of the Turks and the hill tops were again in possesson of the invaders Toward 6 a. m. Marshal Edbim Pasha advanced toward the fighting line with five battalions of the re serve. A strong force of cavalry covered the flanks of the infantry, who marched over the yellow fielde, with shouts of enthus'asm. Marshai Edhim Pasha took up bis post face to face with the line of hilla to the left of Milo Una, which was where the Greeks were in strongest force The marshal sat down on the ground Turkish fashion, looking as cool and unconcerned as the most disinterested of the spectators The Greeks still fought hard and the Turks pressed them vigorouely. The arid slopes of the hiii were whitened with puffs of smoke as the duel proceeded. About 8 o'clock, when the day seemed to have lasted a whole week, the Turkish field ar tillery came into action under com mand of Riaz Pasha Owivg to the difficult nature of the ground Riaz could not appioach the hills, which the Greeks wera holding nearer than two miles and a but at this great range sheels were dropped with the greatest precision into places where the Greeks were strongest For the time being all interest was concentrated upoa the work of Riaz Pasha’s guas. As shel! after shell shrieked its way through the air to the hills, three miles off, the effect of the shelling waa evident The Greek rifle fire diminished, and as evidence of the tremendous destruction and demoralization the shells wrought at many places with in the Greek position, there was an absolute cessation of firing. Aftera shell or two had dropped, the shells had either killed the Greeks or driv en them panic stricken away. At 9:30 o'clock the principal posi tions of the Greek side had either been taken by storm or evacuated. One important hilltop alone re mained in possession of the Greeks. At 5 o'clock Edhim Pasha had prac tically taken the pass after heavy fighting. The Turkish army did tremendous execution during the later stages of the battle, firing with marvelous pre cision and the most deadly effect. The Greeks persistently, and with splendid courage, attacked three Turkish block houses around which the battle centered, but were on each occasion steadily repulsed. The Turkish rifle fire was very deadly. At length the Greeks desisted from their attack on the block houses and fell back sullenly into their entrench. ed positions. There they practically recommenced the fight, pouring a hail of bullets upon the Turkish po- Baby doesn’t always find this world an inviting place to come to. It is a world of Struggle, at the best. Prospective mothers ought to make it as hopeful a world Ste sible for the little stranger. It is her 3 at least to confer on her baby as strong and healthy a constitution as possible, by keep- ing her own physical and mental condition at its best during the expectant time. The best promoter of health and cheer- fulness a prospective mother can have is Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. It tones up the whole system and gives special strength and elastic power to the delicate organism concerned in parturition. It makes the mother stronger and brighter in body and mind; it shortens confinement, makes delivery easy and entirely free from danger; gives the mother recuperative en- ergy and power, and promotes an abundant supply of nourishment for the child. Delicate women should be extremely care- ful not to imperil their health by resorting to any preparation put up by utskilled, un- educated persons, or mere nurses. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is the only preparation of its kind invented by a regu- larly graduated physician, an eminent spe- cialist of thirty years’ experience. The most valuable knowledge for women, and especially for prospective mothers, is contained in Dr. Pierce's great 1008-page free book, ‘The People’s Common Sense Medical Adviser.” Several chapters are devoted to women’s repro- ductive physiology.

However, this renewal of the battle did not last very long,and by degrees the fusillade from both eides diminished. Tus Turkish troops are helf dead with fitigue, paving neither eaten nor sivpt for over twenty four hours. The reserve are lying about on the bare ground, the majority of them fast u-leep. Tbe loss-s on both sides are un- kpown, but there is reason to believe that tae Turkish losses are not very heavy, cousidering the long and stub born battle that bad been fought.

Washington (Ind) Advertiser. A week or two before the elesiicn last fall Captain W. W. Peabody, | general manager cf the B. & O.S. W. railroad, came to the city and) was the central figure and principal | speaker at a meeting held at the) shops of the company in the interest a large crowd present and the genial | Captain, in his address, among other things said: “I have some good news for you, boys, but do not know whether to tell it to you or no.” Several of the blowers and strikers at once exclaimed in chorus: “Tell it to us, Captain; tell it to ue!” “Well,” said the Captain, “it is this—if McKinley is elected these shops will employ more menand run on fell time.” At this several workmen bowled themselves black in the face and there was great jubilation. For a few weeks after the election more men were employed and the shops run on full time. After the holidays, however, a few were “laid off,’ and later several discharged, until at this time there has been about 150 men discharged, and the wages of nearly all others cut down tea per cent. Consequently there is much depression and ill feeling} among those who were induced to vote against their better judement. The sufferers are thoroughly dis gusted, and a!l you have to doto precipitate a riot is to exclaim to those deceived workmen: “Tell it to; us, Captain; tell it to u Evening News, (Seymour, Ind.) And the foregoing does not com plete the story Another chapter has just begun. Captain Peabody's army of *“Dagoes,” numbering about two hundred, arrived here yesterday and pitched their tents. They were brought here to supersede home workingmeu. They eat aud sleep in the cars in which they were trans ported to this placa, and it is under stood that they receive 60 ceats per day, per head, for their services Tbey are being taken over the entire system to repair the track which was tended the whole length of the frontier. Yesterday eveviag seven new Turkish battallions and several mounted batteries of artillery left tor the front and at dawn the guus were trained on the Greek block house on the plain below. Junes Effendi, the Turkiah com- mander, and bis men had been twen- ty six hours without food or drink. When they were preparing tocapture the Greek blockhouse Junes address ed his men saying: “All those who love God must advance t> the as eault ” This was enough. Every mano with loud exultant shouts, daske‘ forward in the direction of the block house. Ever the mule teers whe were bringing up the reserve ammunition, joined ia the assault on the blockhouse which was held by the Greeks with magnificent courage. The Turks, with splendid dash, ebarged with the bayonet, ard event ually leaped over the ramparts with shouts of triumph. The Greeks waited their approach until tue Turks were witbia thirty yards be. fore withdrawing. Io this asau't the Turks had only sixteen killed andseventeen woundsd Eye'vwhere was to be seen the effect of the Turkish artillery, their terri- bla shells bursting just at the caleu lated moment The Greeks on tho other hand, appeired to bs Jacking in artillery. The Greeks attempted to reply tothe Turkish artillery but were forced to retire The corres pondent saw numberless Geek strip- ped of their uniforms Most of the dead, however, were carried off by the Turks, who lifted corpses of ths Greeks reverently and placei thom beneath the shade of trees. The Turkish force has now bivou-| sucked in a position emigenently favorable for an advance on Larissa. It is estimated that the total loss on both sides in the battles fought is 30,000 killed and wounded.

Some one remarked that Captain Peabody ought to come over to Sey mour and make another goldbug campaign speech. You know not “whereof you speak,” fellow-laborer Mr. Peabody got what he worked eo hard for last November and now you can just stand on the corner and whistle. See? About a hundred and fifty deter- mined laboring men met at the Umbright business room on East Second street yesterday afternoon for the purpose of entering a decisive protest against the action of the B. & O S W. company in employing cheap Italian laborers to usurp the places of bome workingmen.

There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis- ease, but simply to a constipated condi- tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt- ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, andis everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that itis the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness ‘without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene- ficial effects, to note when you pur- chase, that you have the genuine arti- cle, which is manufactured by the Cali- fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists.
