London, April 30.—According to the Tokio correspondent of the Telee graph the Vladivostok aquadronslip- ped past the Japanese squadron in a fog and got back to Vladivostok. Nothing has leaked out regarding the composition of this Japanese squadron or who commands it. No official reference to it is made by the Japanese. The Russian admiralty, while pro- fessing ignorance of Admiral Jeezen’s plang, is confident that he is unlikely to be surprised by the Japanese, who have been sent to prevent his return to his base, with which he fs in con- stant telegraphic communication. _ 200 Japs Went Down. St. Petersburg, April 30.—Rear Admiral Yezzen, in a report to the emperor, confirms the sinking of the Japanese transport Kinshiu Maru by two Russian torpedo boats and the drowning of 210 Japanese. Seventeen Japanese officers, 20sol- diers, 85 coolies and 65 of the crew were captured. It is said the em- peror holds the sinking of the trans- port with its passengers and valuable supplies was unwarranted, and he may relleve Admiral Yezzen of his command. Little Injury to Missouri Fruits. West Plains, Mo., April 23.—The recent cold wave did no damage to the peach crop in Howell and Ogden counties, but apples and pears have been damaged. According to Paul Evans, director of the atate fruit experiment station, who is here ex- amining orchards, there will be an immense crop of peaches in this vicinity, estimated between 500 and 760 cars. Grapes and strawberries are uninjured. Supplies Moved in Carts. London, April 30.—According to a dispatch to the Central News from Tokio, the bulk of the Russian sup- plies 1s being transported to Feng Wang Cheng on the road to the Yalu river by means of carts. It takes five days to cover the distance of ninety miles from the Russian head- quarters to the destination. Russia Says “Hands Off.” St. Petersburg, April 80.—The for- eign office in a circular to Russian representatives abroad, declares cate- gorically that Russia will not ac- cept mediation to terminate the war, nor allow the intervention of any power whateever in. the Russian- says the Sedalia MICHIGAN DOCTOR USES WATER IMPREGNATED WITH RADIUM. Mew Method Declared to Be Absolute- ly Painless—Case of Eighteen Years’ Standing Is Given Instant Relief. The possibility, of using radium to convert ordinary rain and well water in- to a mineral water, more highly me- dicinal than any known natural min- eral water, has been demonstrated at the University of Michigan in a series of ex- periments. Dr. Rollin H. Stevens has hit upon the idea of immersing a radium tube in water, tightly closed in glass bottles. He was looking for a method by which radium could be applied to the interior of acancer without any danger of the ter- rible radium, or X-ray, burns. - He worked on the known phenomenon that every substance, brought even within a moderate distance of radium, absorbs the radium rays and afterward gives them out exactly like a radium tube. By leaving a sealed tube in pure, distilled water for 24 hours he produced radio-active water, of powerful effects, as his tests immediately pfoved. Injected into cancers this water stopped pain in ten minutes. His first patient was a man whose allotted life was one week, a sufferer from cancer and an X-ray burn. This man took mor- phine to endure his pain, but after one application of the radium water he was able to stop the morphine completely and life prolonged two months. Other patients now under the radium water treatment include one with a can- cer of 18 years’ standing, and someof the ordinary nose and breast cancers. The 18-year cancer has had six weeks of water treatment, and from the first five minutes after applying water pain has been almost wholly absent. In each of the other cases pains stopped immedi- ately, and several poor sufferers were released from the morphine habit, which had been forced upon them. Apparently the water is curing every one of these cancers, even the one with an 18-year history, for all of them have steadily and consistently diminished in size, the worst one now being only half {ts former bulk. The mineralizing of pure water will soon begin on a much larger scale. PANACEA FOR ALL ILLS. Chicago Doctor Prescribes Golf as a Cure for Many Ailments That Distress Mortals. Golf has long been declared a panacea for all the ills which distress mortai man, but it has rarely been called a specific guaranteed to cure any certain ailment except, it may be, ennui or the worries resulting from too close applica- tion to business or professional duties. But the members oi the Homeopathic Medical society, of Chicago, were told re- cently that golf is a sure cure for Bright’s disease. Dr. EK. N, Nash made the state- ment at the mécting of the society and he supported his statement by citing cases in which he had noted definite and immediate benefit resulting in the pa- tient’s pursuit of the pastime and in the healthful open air life on the links and close communion with nature which the exercise compels. Professional and busines men of Chi- cago have derived the greatest benefit, physically and mentally, from the royal and ancient game and have declared the exhilaration of the tee and green, the swipping of far and sure drives, the staccato click of cleex on ball and the joy of iaying up long putts dead to the hole have given them as great pleasure as the winning of a legal battie or the cure of a stubborn medical case or the delivery of a brilliant speech. John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Car- negie—not to mention thousands of les- ser lights—have extolled golf to the skies. Dr. Nash’s statement will not only be hailed with satisfaction by the followers of the old Scotch pastime, but they one and all will indorse his words as gospel truth. DEAFNESS IN SCHOOLS.

Made Impression of Lock with Bread Crumbs, Then Made Mold and Cast Key Out of a Tin Cup and Calmly Walked Out. Extraordinary ingenuity was shown by a burglar named Vandenwegaete, who recently escaped from the under- ground condemned cell in Lille jail, in the north of France, where he had been confined on account of his notorious cunning and his open boast that he would find a way out before long. The cell is furnished with a single massive door opehing on to a corrdor, at the end of which is another door provided with a “safety lock.” Recent- ly the prisoner was locked up for the night. On the next morning his cell was empty. The bird had flown and two false keys made of tin found out- side the door of the corridor told their own tale. A search in the cell has enabled the prison officials to piece together the history of this daring deqd. With part of the bread supplied to him Van- denwegaete took the impression of the lock of his cell, With some more bread he made a mold, in which he cast a key out of a tin cup, the metal being melted on his stove. The same night he opened his door took a bread-crumb impression of the corridor lock, made another key, and soon found himself outside the corri- dor. From a cupboard he abstracted a sheet and a broom handle, which he tied together, and made his way into the prison yard, which is surrounded by a wall topped with broken glass. Fixing the broom handle between two bottle ends he threw the knotted sheet over the wall and slid down to the street. His next move was to break into a house an@ exchange his prison costume for ordinary attire. For the present, says the Matin, all trace of this resourceful criminal has been lost. CUT PRICE OF NEWSPAPERS. London Daily Chronicle and Daily News Come Down to One Centfi Stead’s Sheet a Failure. With a change of editorship the Lon- don Daily Chronicle has definitely de- cided shortly to make a marked change in its appearance and price. It will still be kept the same size, from ten to 12 pages daily, but the price will be re- duced from a penny (two cents) to a halfpenny (one cent). Following the ex- ample of the other halfpenny papers the magazine page will be introduced and also a serial story. It is expected the improvements will involve a capital of about a quarter of a million dollars. Following the Daily Chronicle’s an- nouncement of a reduetion in price, the Daily News will steal a march on its rival, for the liberal support by coming out as a halfpenny paper. W. T. Stead’s experiment, the Daily Paper, has proved a costly failure, and came to an untimely end. The thirty- second number was the last. Mr. Stead has had to admit his failure. Fate was against him, and he was unable to stand the strain. Two days after the paper started he had personally to give up, as the excitement was too great for him, and he was prostrated by a severe nerv- ous collapse. The doctors feared he would lose his memory entirely and or- dered him to take a complete rest, so he started to South Africa, BATTLE WITH FIERCE WOLVES Turtle River Man Has Awful Expe- rience While Crossing Arm of Lake Manitoba. Alexander Morrissey, of Turtle river, near Dauphin, B. C., had a thrilling ex- perience with a pack of wolves while crossing an arm of Lake Manitoba. When a considerable distance from shore he was surrounded and attacked by 12 or 15 ferocious animals, and he Says he possesses no language capable of describing the battle. Morrissey had with him two hounds and an ax, and had it not been for these, he says, there is no doubt at all he would have been torn to pieces by the wolves, The hounds fought hard, and one of them was killed in the encounter. Morrissey Claims to have done great execution with the ax, and more than one wolf bit the ice, while others were badly wounded. The track on the snow from where the attack commenced to the shore is described by Morrissey asa trail of blood. When the exhausted man reached land he sought the protection of a friend- ly tree, and remained there until the wolves departed. 20nd peels tare 00 hn Oak ee Seat Gamp, ly air the muscles and and causes the and or it is something like a skin to be rubbed comedt Ui oe Une Aad ‘Susie i or » an 9 Shoonds ing inflammation and apONNREERE Seg MISSOURI STATE BANK, | BUTLER, MISSOURI. $63,000.00 | Capital and Surplus Fund Receives Deposits subjectto Check and always has tuoney to loan.
