These symptoms in- clude indigestion, lass of appe- tite, nervous irritability, head- ache, languor, sleeplessness, gen- eral exhaustion, and sometimes loss of flesh and strength, indi- cating or disturb- ance of the functions of metabo- malnutrition lism by which the waste and re- pair of tissue are kept properly balanced. Hood’s Sarsaparilla does more for women where any or all of these symptoms are present than any other medicine. It has shown itself to be a matural tonic, by the natural, easy, effectual way in which it restores the appetite, quiets the nerves, overcomes that tired feeling, and refreshes and renews the whole system.

The crime is supposed to have been one of per- sonal vengeance. EKATERINODAR, Ciscaucasia, Russia, Feb, 20.—An engagement is in progress at the viilage of Geaginsoakaia, between 600 mutinous Kuban Cossacks and the puni tive expeditions with five. machine guns which left here last week to crush the insurgents. The Cossacks comprised the garrison of Ekaterinodar, which, dyring the rising in ovember, joined tHe revolutionists. hen order was restored, the Cossacks retired to their native villages in the mountains, where they have since held out, refusing to surrender their arms or the colors of the regiment. The region is remote and inaccessible and the authori- ties hitherto have been unable to as- semble a sufficient force tb attempt the subjugation of the insurgents, who have contemptuously rejected the demands for their surrender. They are well armed and disciplined and heavy losses on both | ST. PETERSBURG, Feb, 20.—The police have been advised of the discovery of a plot at Saratoff to release the murderess of General Sakharoff, who was shot and killed at Saratoff on December 5 last; the man who threw a bomb at Vice Gov- ernor Von Knoll and other political pris- oners. A number of revoiutionists ob- tained positions as jailers, constructed a | tunnel and smuggled into the prison a quantity of polson which was to have been administered to the officials. The | death of one of the comspirators revealed their plans, The day has passed without further an- nouncements of resignations from the Cabinet. The Ministerial situation is un- changed, though all circles in the capital are awaiting with keen attention new developments which are expected day by day, pondering the meaning and im- portance of the remarkable shakeup. The public has been ‘preparing for the fall De Witte or Minister of the | Interior Durnovo. The survival of both in the Cabinet is causing clouds to gather more ominously over the head of the Premier, who, his enemies declare, can no longer disclaim responsibility for the repressive measures. An Inspiréd state- ment asserts that Count de Witte has thrice handed in his resignation and that | time the Emperor has refused to accept it, and that therefore he is bound as a patrfot to obey the will of the | Emperor and remain at the helm. OTCHAKOFF, Russia, Feb. 20.—The trial of Lieutenant Schmidt and thirty sailors of the cruiser Otchakoff and two students of the University of Qdessa was begun today before a military and naval court. The trial is expected to last ten The general charge against all of the accused Is participation in a move- ment to overthrow the Government by active armed resistance, the punishment for which is death. Lieutenant Schmidt is charged, in addi- tion, with activity since his youth in revo- lutionary circles, he having taken com- mand of mutinous snips, telegraphed in- solently to the Emperor and ordered the sailors to open fire on the forts and local ships. Schmidt's defense Is insanity. i, ST e Mg MANY SOLDIERS KILLED. Train Carrying Troops is Blown Into a River. v "ORIA, B. C., Feb. £0.—Telegrams from Vladivostok to Japanese papers report the destruction of a train load- ed with soldiers, which was blown up and precipitated imto the river. The loss of life is given as 3000, but this is consid: an exaggeration. On Jan- uary 26 'r collision occurred be- tween cks and - prisoners from latter unarmed, and 1500 these were reported killed or wounded. About Japan, one-third of the wounded were taken to hospitals, the others being left lying in the snow. Heavy raips in Java have caused great floods, many natives being drowned. The destruction of growing paddy and damage by the floods will cause great distress. Prince Poluta, a Mongol Prince, chief- tain of the Turguta at Ili, has been given permission at Peking to travel in the United States. The Japanese Government has de- clared March 10 as the date to be cele- brated as the anniversary of the war. PR RSl PATRIOT ENDS LIFE. Korean Writer Commits Sulcide Re- cause of Japanese Convention. VICTORIA, B. C, Feb. 20.—Another patriotic suicide to protest against Jap- anese occupancy in Korea is reported. Mr. Chong, reputed the most prominent of Confucian literati in Korea, announced that he would commit suicide in pro- test against the comvention with Japan, but the Japanese police prevented him| from doing so and returned him under guard to his natlve place. His wife refused to admit him, stating that he would be eternally disgraced if he tamely abandoned his determination. He then went to a temple and swal- lowed opium, leaving a farewell docu- _ment addressed to the Korean people and another to his fellow literati, de- claring that death was the only re- course at this juncture for a true Ko- rean patriot. Fire at Tokio destroyed 446 houses in the Asakusa district on January 31. Several people were burned to death. ——————— Army and Navy Orders. WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.—Army or- ders—Contract Surgeon Arthur I Boyer will proceed to Fort Jay, New York, and report to the commanding officer of the Eighth Infantry for duty to ac- company that command to the Philip- pines and report to the commanding general of the Philippines Division for duty.

KINGSTOWN, St. Vincent, Sunday, Feb. 18.—The earthquake experienced on February 16 was followed by slight shocks oceurring at intervals until Sat- urday morning, February 17, almost simultaneously through the chain of islands from Granada to Guadeloupe. Dispatches from St. Lucla and Granada state that frequent detonations were heard during the night. Nothing was observed here Indicating 2 seismic dis- turbance. La Soufriere and Mont Pelee are reported quiet. ; = HUNGARY MAY USE BOYCOTT Sees in It a Weapon With Which to Attack Austria for Repressive Measures DISORDERS PREDICTED Members of the Dissolved Parliament Will Take Up Issue With Constituents BUDAPEST, Hungary, Feb. 20.—After further and calmer consideration the members of the coalition decided this evening not to proceed to the Parliament buildings tomorrow. While not neces- sailly admitting the legality and consti- tutionality of yesterday’s dissolution of the Parliament, the fact that the houses were dissolved yesterday must be recog- otherwise the members of the lower House could not take part in any manner in the mext elections or ih the holding of meetings throughout the coun- try beginning at the end of this week to inform their constituents regarding the events of yesterday. The members of the coalition will not purposely invite violence from the Gov- ernment, but will proceed with their in- dividual political activities as ecircum- stances permit, quite undeterred by knowledge of what the Government pur- poses to do. Rumors are current tonight to the ef- fect that Hungary may start a boycott movement against Austrian products, re- lying on the possibility that the country can obtain such articles as cheap else- where, while Austria will have to pay ducts obtained elsewhere than from Hun- gary. The Officlal Gazette today published a notification of the Royal Commissioner, General Nyiri, upholding the legality of yesterday’s dissolution of the Hungarian Parliament, maintaining that the reseript was read in the presence of thirty or forty deputies and warning the deputies that any attempt to hold the sitting of the House convened for tomorrow will be rrevented by armed force. The scene uf the conflict between the Coalitlon party and the Crown will now be transferred from Budapest to the country districts, where disorders can be expect- ed within a week. 1t appears today as though the Crown had determined to terminate the right of free meeting, free press and even free speech in Hungary whenever such mani- testations reflect upon the legality of the Crown'’s actions. As proof of this, it was ascertained today from an excellent Gov- ernment source that the Crown is pre- paring to suppress newspapers which con- Auet a propaganda based on criticism of its actions yesterday. NEW VORK, Feb. 2).—The Hungarian Literary Soclety of New York at a meet- ing last night tore down a painting of Emperor Francls Joseph of Austria, cut into shreds and trampled on it. An-ofl painting of President Roosevelt was sub- stituted and three rousing cheers were given for Francis Kossuth, the Hun- garian leader. CHICICD FIRE FEND 1S HERE LOS ANGELES, Feb. 20.—The large number of destructive fires in Los An- geles recently, mostly believed to have been incendlary, are now thought by the local police to have been the work of a pyromaniac, who for weeks terrorized Chicago and started fires there which re- sulted in losses amounting to several hun- dred thousand dollars. Detective Kinder of Chicago, who is just now in Los Angeles, says that the Wwork of the local incendiary tallies in every way with that of the Chicago man, whose operations were peculiar in sev- eral particulars. His methods were to touch a match to piles of rubbish placed in likely places to start a fire, which also appears to have been the manner of starting several of the recent local fires. The authorities have secured a minute personal description of the man and will keep a close watch for him. Housen was arrested in Chicago and sent to an asylum and later to the peni- tentiary, from where he was released for goad behavier. Shortly afterward more fires were traced to him and he fled the city and hag not been heard from since. Hig only explanation for his pecullar ma- nia was that he enjoved the attendant ex- citement. Losses from three supposed in- cendiary fires in Los Angeles this week foot up over $50,000. CARRIES A 00 N AR PASADENA, Feb. 20.—Despite dan- ger of death in one of its most hor- rible forms Patrolman O'Dell of tha Pasadena Police Department performed an act this afternoon which stamps him a hero. During the busiest portion of the day, while Colorado street was crowded, a mad dog dashed along taat thoroughfare in the vicinity of the postoffice, the animal's mouth dripping foam and as it passed pedestrians the dog snapped at every one who cams within reach of it. The cries of the people caused a panic and people rushed into stores and stailrways. O'Dell saw the animal coming and drew his revolver. Knowing that to shoot on the street would be to endan- ger the lives of others he watched his opportunity and seized the brute by the neck. The dog struggled and tried to bury its teeth into the officer's arm as he held it at arm’s length. He dragged It into an alley and shot it, but not until his sleeve had been torn into shreds. Fortunately the dog's teeth did not break the skin. ———————— KEEN LAWYER PRACTICES FOR YEARS WITHOUT A PERMIT.

Call B e, ICAINST HuRRy Comments Reproachfully” on the Impatience Displayed by Catholics in France —_— WILL SPEAK 1IN TIME Single Word “Wait” Indi- cates Vatican’s Policy on Abrogation of C«\)ncordat LONDON, Feb. 21.—The Daily Express this morning prints an interview with | Pope Plus by its Rame correspondent on the policy of the Vatican on the church question in France. After remarking that the abrogation of the concordat had not yet been officially given to him and that it was permissible for him to wonder | to whom France would entrust the noti- | fication, now that she no longer had a | representative at the Vatican, the Pope commented reproachfully -on the -impa- tience displayed by French Catholics. “Oh, those Frenchmen,” he said, “al- ways in a hurry; always restless, always excitable.” The single word “wait,” his Holiness remarked, would suffice to indicate his policy. ‘‘Certainly I shall speak in my own good | time—and that time is not yet,” he added. | “It is a treacherous law—full of snares | and pitfalls. Its passage is not every- thing. It has yet to be applied. When we are able to ascertain the exact posi- | tion of our adversaries we will In turn | disclose ours. We are ready.” | In a further conversation the Pope, ac- cording to the correspondent, sald he was willing to be called “inert,” but -inert in the hands of God, who upheld him and for whom he would be strongly active when the day came for action. “Catholics are about to suffer persecu- tion for their faith,” he continued, “but | let them not fear. France will never finally separate herself from that church to which she has always remained faith- | ful in spite of so many attempts to estrange her.” The Pope then briefly mentioned what might be expected in the future.. He al- luded to the “coming cdnvocation of the Council of Bishops in France and to the creation, if necessary, of a sort of State council of the church, which will be joined by the most distinguished of for- mer judges and presidents or notabill- ties of judicial orders, often repeating gently the expression: “I promise you it will all be done little by little.” SHOT T0 DEATH FAOM ANBLSH Special Dispatch to The Call FRESNO, Feb. 20.—Standing face to face with his son in his own saloon, Sylvester Morrison, a saloon keeper of Mendota, was killed this morning by a charge of shot fired through a win- dow by an unknown assassin. Morri- son had been drinking heavily and was talking with his son before going home. Suddenly steps were heard on the porch and immediately afterward, | with a deafening roar, two charges from a shotgun struck the elder man full in the face. The son, Guy, ran to summon help, but his father died in a few minutes. It is known that Morrison had a quar- rel last evening with J. W. Casey, a switchman in the Southern Pacific yards. Morrison is said to have flourished a pistol at the time. Casey was placed under arrest today, but so far no direct evidence has been found against him. Casey admits having quarreled with Mor- rison, but declares that he went home and did mot see Morrison again. Morrison had lived in Mendota five years. STEAMER RUNS DOWN LAUNCH The launch Flyer, owned by C. A. McNeil, was sunk last night in a col- lision with the river steamer Isleton near Point Richmond. Frank Grelff and Harry Jones, who were on the launch, were thrown into the bay. The tide was running rapidly at the time and it seemed as if they would be swept away, but lines were thrown to them | from the steamer and they were hauled | on board. The Isleton then made fast to the launch and towed her close as pos- sible to the mud flats. The launch was filling rapidly and it was seen that the only chance to save hér was to beach her on the flats. The crew of the launch insisted on refmaining with her and attempting to stop the leaks. But late last night they decided that they would need more help and came to this city on one of the Standard Ofl barges. 'The men on the launch lay the blame of the collision on the steamer. Cap- | tain Atthowe of the Isleton claims that he did not hear the signals of the launch. The Flyer is still on the mud | flats but will probably be pulled off to- day.

PEKING, Feb. 20.—Foreigners here are recefving telegrams from relatives indi- cating that there is a feeling of alarm abroad over the possibility of an outbreak of Chinese hostility. No disquiet what- ever is felt at Peking. All the foreign Ministers agree that the Chinese here, both officials and people, were never more friendly toward foreigners personally, al though following an independent line politically. There is no anti-foreign move- ment in North China likely to lead to hostilities. The troubles at Canton and Shanghal are not felt here. It is reported from Honan that mem- bers of the Big Knife Society have killed a number of Chinese Catholics as the re- | sult of a local quarrel. RICHMOND, Va., Feb. 20.—A cable mes- sage from Dr. R. J. Bryan, a missionary, has been received from Shanghai, China. It reads as follows: “No apparent dan- ger.” Letters which came from the missiona- ries show that there is a state of unrest in China, but they do not seem to be alarmed about conditions. Ome person in writing from Yangchow says: “The great anti-foreign feeling will probably show itself for a while, though we have not felt much of it In Yang- chow.” Another writing from Canton says: “Things are in a somewhat disturbed state politically, and robbery is very com- mon, but we have been left in peace.” STATE DIVORCE LAWS FAVORED ‘WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.—Animated dis- cussion was indulged in today by the con- gress on uniform divorce laws on the res- olutions proposed by the Pennsylvania delegation, outlining important reforms for uniform laws on this subject by the various States, and which had been in- dorsed, practically in their entirety, by the resolutions committee. Arguments were exhausted and parliamentary tac- tlcs invoked by the munority of the con- gress to defeat the adoption of the fol- lowing portion of the report of the com- mittee oh resolutions, striking a death blow at the migratory divorce: When the courts are foreign, juriagiction st the time the eduse gt insfstid that ve- complaint arose it should be Uet will not be given unless the cause of divorce was Included among those recognized in_such foreign domicile. “The section was finally adopted by an overwhelming vote. The force opposing the adoption of the section were led by Rev. Caroline Bartlett Crane of Michi- gan. Regarding the adoption of the first res- olution submitted by the committee, that it was the sense of the congress that a Federal divorce law was not feasible, Governor Pennypacker sald: “The resolution has.been adopted and the first step in the path of progress has been taken.” The section declaring that each Scate should adopt legislation restricting the remedies afforded by its statutes of di- vorce to its own citizens was adopted with some modification. Bishop Shanley of North Dakota ex- plained his presence in the conventfon, saying: “I am thoroughly in sympathy with anything that is to destroy the divoree evil. I do not approve of absolute di- vorce for any cause whatsoever.” POPE ADVISES ~ WARNING CIVEN - LEAPSINTOSEA WITH CHILOREN Woman Thas Three Little Ones Into (kean From Ship and Then DProwns Herself IN FEAR OF INSANITY Mrs. John W.
