The normal cell is not absolutely round in b but, in disease, becomes ex- tremely irregular in shape. Every one can be in perfect health and possess the mil- Yions of richwed blood corpuscles if they now how to go about it. Dr. R. consulting physician to the Invi lids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buf- falo, N.

Vears #go, in his activk practice, he found that an alterative extract of certain herbs and roots, put up without the use of alco- “hol, would put the liver, lungs and heart into fuller and more complete action. This medicine he calied Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. By assimilating the food eaten, it nourishes the blood, and, if. etead of the ill-sbaped corpuscies, the per. on 2 rich red color and e more nearly round.

PETERSBURG, Aug. 10.—Dis- | counting the fall of Port Arthur mldI the disastrous defeat of General Kuro- patkin at the hands of the combxnedl Japanese armies, some diplomats are already speculating upon the situation | in which the combatants would be left | and the question as to whether it is possible that a way would: be opened for peace. The almost unan- | imous opinion is that, with her present | record of victories -combined with the financial difficulties of continuing the war indefinitely, Japan would welcome peace, and the almost equal unanimous verdict is that Russia would adopt a ary course. Even should every an soldier be driven out of Man- | churia the diplomats believe Russia could not afford to yield, but would be compelled to doggedly continue the war, collect another army in Siberia and take the offensive next year. Several keen diplomats, however, are of the ovinion that Japan, by a clever coup in the event of Kuropatkin being routed, might perhaps force the powers | to intervene in a way that Ru could not resist. One diplomat repre senting a European power at the court | of Emperor Nicholas said: “Secretary Hay's note opening a way for the guarantee for the administra- tive entity of China, to which all of the | powers subscribed in principle, may after all become the means of bringing | about peace. If Japan, pushing the| Russian military forces out of Manchu- ria and obtaining undisputed posses- sion, should then formally relinquish the province to China, its real owner, and call upon the powers under their | guarantee to protect the entity of thei Celestial empire, I do not think the powers could escape responsibility.” REJECTS E! LAND’'S DEMANDS. Russia Will Not Recede in the Knight Commander Controversy. ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 10.—The Russian reply to Great Britain's rep- resentations on the subject of the sinking of the British steamship Knight Commander by the Vladivos- tok squadron, while couched in the friendliest terms, does not recede from the Russian position as set forth in the prize regulations in regard to the exercise of the right to destroy neutral vessels carrying contraband, in cases of emergency, reserving the question for discussion after the war. Great Britain’s proposal that the British steamship Allanton, captured on June 16 by the Viadivostok squad- ron, be liberated upon the deposit of security has not been accepted, Rus- case were already on their way to St. Petersburg and would have to be sub- mitted to the Admiralty Court before further action was taken. ————— RUSSIANS ATTACK GENSAN. Fire Upon the Outer Line of Japanese Trenches. Special Cable to The Call and New York Herald. Copyright, 1904, by the New York Herald Publishing Company. | SEOUL, Aug. 10.—An outpost en- gagement took place near Gensan yes- terday. Four Russian companies, with two guns, fired upon the outer line of Japanese trenches, retiring after a two hours’ combat. Another attack was expected to-day. i May Pass the Dardanelles.

Everything is settled and moving like clockwork and | all in readiness to receive the State mi- | litia, which will be coming into camp | during Saturday. i General MacArthur is loud - in his| praise of the camp and the leading of-| ficers think it a fine field for the big maneuvers. The weather is absolutely perfect. It {1s warm during the day, but cold at| night. Blankets are in demand. | General MacArthur again made an- | other detour of the Henry ranch and has now been practically over the| whole territory over which the maneu- | vers will take place. About seventy miles of his trip was made in the new automobile of the Bignal Corps Service and the balance of about twenty miles he made on horseback. g The Signal Corps auto has proved a big success so far. Captain Carl Hart- mann, in charge of the corps here, says | that the maching will meet every re- quirement. Its demonstration during — BY FRED M. GILMORE. the last two days has proved that it can go anywhere that any wheel trans- portation can go. To-day it was run through fields, up steep rocky hills and successfully across the railroad track over which no road ran. It practically can do anything but climb a tree. The principal arrivals in camp to-day were the umpires, headed by Major W. P. Duval, chief umpire; the others were Major Samuel E. Allen and Cap- tains Charles H. McKinstry, W. P. Burnham, H. D. Styer, W. W. Harts, O. H. Hunter, D. L. Tate, R. L. Walsh, A. B. Foster, E. G. Ovenshine, A. M. Miller, E. R. Chrisman, 8. D. Sturgis, E. T. Wilson, W. L. Kenley, White, B. H. Wells, F. S.

The umpires expressed themselves as greatly pleased with the camp and the arrangements made for them by As-| sistant Quartermaster W. T. Patten. Guard mount took place at 4 o'clock to-day. Dress parade and a review of the| Fifteenth Infantry and Colonel Pitch- er's provisional regiment took place at 6:30 o'clock this evening. LITTLE DANGER OF SPLIT IN RANKS OF THE IRISH Leader O'Brien Is Alone in His Ef- forts to Conciliate the Landlords. DUBLIN, Aug. 10.—It was clearly demonstrated at-a meeting of the na- tional directory here to-day that all the prophecies of a new split in the Irish party are quité astray. No influential body or opinion either inside or out- side the Irish party supports O'Brien. He enjoys a great deal of affectionate loyalty among his constituents in Cork and in the County Mayo, where he re- sides, but the general sense of the country is behind Redmond, Dillon, Davitt, Blake, T. P. O'Connor and the Irish party. Out of the question of the price to be paid for Irish land and the best way to prevent the landlords from ob- taining extravagant prices by taking advantage of their tenants' necessities, the whole dispute arose. Notwith- standing the illiberdl attiude of the landlords, O'Brien is still in favor of conciliation. He believes they are asking too much because they are be- ing offered too little. No Irish leader takes this view ex- cept O'Brien. His friends have pledged themselves to ablde by the decision of the national directory and to support Redmond and his lieutenants in their policy of strenuous opposition to the landlords and their extravagant de- |loons, two barber mands. < AUTHORITY OF THE SULTAN OF MOROCCO ON THE WANE Monarch’s Appeal to the Tribes for Support Has Not Been Heeded. TANGIER, Aug. 10.—The authority of the Sultan of Morocco is fast ebb- ing, while that of Menehbi, the for- mer leader of the liberal element in the kingdom, is increasing daily. The Sultan’s appeal to the tribes for sup- port has not been heeded, the whole country being opposed to the Sultan’s idea of French occupation for the pro- tection of foreigners. Stirring times are expected in the near future. It is persistently rumored here that tha, position of British Consul McLean at Fez has become an awkward one and that he is likely to abandon his post. ——————————— FIRE' DESTROYS BUSINESS BLOCK IN IDAHO TOWN Blaze Starts in Hotel and Before It Is Subdued Causes Loss of $20,000. WARDNER, Idaho, Aug. 10.—Fire this afternoon destroyed a block in the business district of this city, en- tailing a loss of approximately $20,- 000, insurance $6000. The blaze orig- inated in the Somers Hotel and spread with great rapidity, consuming the freight depot of the Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company, three sa- shops and several vacant frame buildings. : P. | return at It wag witnessed by-a big crowd of | officers from the oak-covered hiliside in front of General MacArthur’s tent. A big crowd also came up from Paso Robles hotels and Templeton in autos and carriages. The Fifteenth Infantry band will give a concert to-night at 8 o’clock in front of General MacArthur's tent. There will be aconcert here every night from |now on by either a band of the Thir- | teenth, Fifteenth or Twenty-eighth in- | fantries. | The Fifteenth Infantry went out into | the hills this morning for an exercise {and tramped fifteen miles before their noon. | _ Mrs. MacArthur, accompanied by | Miss Elizabeth Henry, drove over from {the Henry home and spent the after- | noon looking at the camp. Asuncion, the nearest railroad sta- tion, has suddenly blossomed out into a tented city. The Southern Paclfic has established sleeping accommodations, eating-houses and an auto garage and livery stable | there, so that those wishing to visit the camp can be taken care of in | camping fashion sort-of-way. An automobile service will start to- day between this camp and Asuncion. o SUPPOSED NURDERER INNOCENT orw Special Dispatch to The Call. DES MOINES, lowa, Aug. 10.—After three weeks of mystery that has agi- tated the entire State it has been estab- lished that Mrs. Aliene Butterfield of Greene County was not murdered by her husband, as was supposed. She ran away from home because she learned that her husband preferred another woman, one old enough to be his mother. Mrs. Butterfield would never have been located but for the fact that she read a newspaper account of an at- tempt to lynch her husband as her sup- posed murderer. When he reappeared at Butterfield's farm after having de- serted her three months ago and left his wife to raise 160 acres of corn sin- gle-handed, the indignation of the neighbors found expression in the or- ganization of a mob, and the Sheriff was barely able to avert a tragedy. Bloody clothes were found in a fleld and it was taken as conclusive evidence that a murder had been committed. Mrs. Butterfleld determined to save her husband and wrote a letter to the Sheriff assuring him that she was alive. The Sheriff came to Des Moines to-day and after a long search found the woman. —_———— BODIES OF TWO MORE WRECK VICTIMS FOU D Remains Are Identified as Those of Minneola Davis and Mar- garet Kelly. PUEBLO, Colo., Aug. 10.—Two more bodles were recovered to-day by the searching party which is at work seeking the remaining victims of the wreck at Eden station last Sunday night. The bodies have been identi- fied as those of Miss Minneola Davis, a 19-year-old girl, and Miss Margaret Kelly of this city. This brings the total identified dead to seventy-seven; un- identified, one; known missing, twen- ty; reported missing, twelve. number | of SATS HER SON WAS KIDNAPED Woman Makes Statement That Lad Who Bears Her Name Is Not Her Own RELATES STRANGE TALE A SRR Witness Tells How Her Boy Was Stolen and Child Re- sembling Him Substituted —_— Special Dispatch to The Call. REDDING, Aug. 10.—When placed upon the witness stand in Red Bluff yesterday to be examined in connection with her application to have l4-year- old Burton Melone sent to a corrective institution Mrs. M. B. Melone, who has always been considered the boy's moth- er, made the startling statement that e did not think the boy her son Mrs. Melone lives at Manton, just over the line that divides Tehama and Shasta counties. In 1891 a son was born to Mr. and Mrs. Melone at Han- ford. The little fellow suffered from spinal trouble from his birth and was frail and weak. In the year 1894, when the Midwinter Fair was in progress in San Francisco, Mr. and Mrs. Melone and the little boy, then 3 years old, vis- ited the exposition.
