London, May 5. The St. Peters
burg correspondent of the the Central
News says a rumor la current there
that another bloody battle has occured
near the Yalu, the Russians finally re
pulsing the Japs a'ter loosing 7,000
men.
Previous to the reception of this dis
patch a cable from the far east stated
that General Kuropatkin had assumed

The opinion gains ground here that
the Japanese have at last effectually
waile the congregations were in the
synagogues.
The mob smashed the windows of
bouses in the Jewish quarter, entered
the houses and threw women am'
children out of the windows, A gill
was murdored in a most revolting
manner, the report says. Cossacks
were sent to restore order.
The outbreak is said to be due to the
anger of the crowd over Russian re
verses in the Far East.
These repurts lack official confirma
tion.
RUSSIANS CLAIM VICTORY.
St. Petersuuhu, May 4. It Is now
plain that not mure than 8000 Russians
were actually engaged In the fight at
the Yalu against the Japanese army,
of a total strength of between 30,000
and 40,000. The losses on both sides,
which are expected to reach 1000 and
possibly 1200 in the Russian force, and
twice that number for the Japanese,
make it one of the bloodiest fights in
history. At the river crossing the
Japanese dead lie piled up literally in
heaps, and General Kuroki's success
was purchased at such a heavy cost
that the Russians are disposed to re
gard It as rather a defeat than a victory
for him.
The loss of the guns which, according
to the best Information obtainable,
consisted of 22 Held pieces and eight
machine guns, is considered particu
larly unfortunate, .even though they

Los Angklks, Calif., May 4. The
annual general conference of the Meth
odist Episcopal church convened Id
this oity today, with an enrollment of
784 delegates, representing 3,000,000
members of the church. The vener
able Bishop Morrill presided.
Legislation will be had in the pro
posed consolidation of the benevolent
societies; the uniOcatiou of the mis
sionary societies and the formation of
one society out of the several educa
tional and aid societies. An effort is
being made to amalgamate the differ
ent societies into three associations.
Failure is predicted because of tne
large vested Interests of the several
societies. A consul id atlon",would cause
dissension.
Uoports of the publishing agents of
the church will show that while the
physical assets are worth at least 93,
000,000 the properties of the church,
' including its periodicals and papers are
i valued at fully 910,000,000.
j Two days will be occupied with orga
Dilution after which .will bo heard ro-
1 ports of committees and memmorlals

Ten or fifteen days are to be devoted
I to consideration of the reports. The
' announced intention of several intluen
I tlal members to attempt to repeal
"paragraph 248" of the church code
has roused the orthodox delegates and
' a clash Is expected. The paragraph
I refers to dancing, attending theatrei,
I circuses and horse races, ronting prop
. erty for saloon purposes and playing
games of chance as Imprudent and un

A Familiar Story.
Colfax, Wash., May 4. Alexander
Luft, 14-year-old son of Conrad Luft, a
farmer living near Endlcott, was fatally-
shot by his brother, aged 12, this after
noon. The boys were shooting squir
rels, when the gun was accidentally
discharged, the ball from a 22-caliber
gun striking the elder boy In the bock,
two inches to the left of the spinal col
umn, and passed through the body,
coming out of the abdomen, piercing
the intestines. The boy will die. -

E. H. Waldron, living on Jackson

about a year ago that I first noticed an.
Irregularity of the kidney secretions,
which is always a sure Indication of
some disorder of the kidneys. Physi
cians fulled to help me and other reme
dies did not relieve the trouble. I hap
pened to notiio an ad. about Doan't

there was nothing to lose by trying
this remedy I got a box at Marstera &
Go's, drug store. They helped me
right away and in a short time com-,
