OVER A POKER GAME Killed. 8t Petersburg, July 25 -The Associ ated Press is informed t at the Rus sian volunteer steamers Smolensk and Ht Petersburg have alrerdy been ordered home and that instructions for their return have been cabled, The as surances given Great Britain on this point are declared to be satisfactory. The instructions given the command era of the vessels repeal the orders lieretoib eannounced in these dispatch es directing them to refrain from further attempts to stop merobant ineu either iu the Red sea or the Medi teraaoean. The two ships may be brought to the Baltic and formally reoommls8ioned, Rnssia has reiterated her assuranoss (hat all vessels st-ized pending the reoeipt ol instructions by the captaioa o( the Smolensk an I St Petersburg shall at onca be released and that the British e enmi-r Ardova will be deed upon her'arriver at Suez or Port Haiti the same as the Scandlu. Great Britain will ' ask- for damages against Kussia for demurrage and the other indemnities connected with the arrest, detention and shelling of Brit ish ships iu the Red sea will probably be very heavy. Already it is estimat ed at 5,000,000.

The essential requirements, we think, aie these, and all of them apply to this store: Drugs are sure to be freshest where trtide is lurgest. Stock is sure to be best where physicians go to buy. Remedies are most reliab e where standardized and assayed drugs are UBed. Compounding will be most accurate where the prescriptionist has bad greatest practical eiperienco. 1 1- k if r i V I .til- '1 1 r ft a 8 J ;K fi Vr4 ' 1 I; i ' ' . NEWLIN DRUG CO.
