Other That He has Gotten Avray.

the statements of some of the London
dailies concerning the war in South Af
rica, the London correspondent of the
Tribune cables as follows:
"The Standard thinks the British troops
have a good chance of capturing Gen
eral Botha. Very little is known here in
regard to the movements of the Boer
Commander-General since the failure. of
his attempt on the Natal frontier- His
wagons, with an escort, under Groebelaar,
"have been detached and. sent eastward.
Botha, with his main body, marched in
the same direction for some time, only to
find that his. retreat was being cut off
by one of the British columns, which was
apparently moving parallel with him. He
then marched due north to within a few
miles of Piet Retief, where he is believed
to have halted in a difficult, and perilous
position. He cannot break "backward to
ward Zululand or the Natal frontier with
out throwing himself right into the arms
of his pursuers. If he goes north he will
touch Swaziland, and will get Into trouble
with the warlike natives. He may pos
sibly drift away toward the west and find
a temporary refuge in the passes of the
Elandsberg. On the whole, the Standard
considers that the Transvaal Army Is in
a tight corner. The Dail News, on the
other hand, takes the view that General
Botha has gotten clear away-"

Sultan of Turkey for a charter for Pal

tained that charter. It semes likely, at

says:
"The American miners, who care little
for what happens In Europe, refuse to

Case Affecting Russian Military.
ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 14. An in
teresting case affecting the military has
juGt been reported here, and Is causing
considerable comment in the Russian pa
pers. April 30, Lieutenant Klykoff, of the
Thirty-seventh Dragoons, and a certain
nobleman, Mallnkoffsky, had an exchange
of words In the local zoological garden.
Lieutenant Klykoff placed his hand on
the handle of his revolver and ordered
Mallnkoffsky to desist from addressing
him. Mallnkoffsky did not at once obey,
and the Lieutenant drew his weapon, and
after a scuffle fired three times. Malln
koffsky died from the effects of one of
the bullet3.
Klykoff has .been tried In a military
court and condemned to a year and a
half Imprisonment The court itselt pe
titioned the Emperor to reduce, the sen
tence to two months' arrest in- a fortress.
The case has caused much comment in
the newspapers. The military party 3e
clare that the wearing of the uniform
necessitates officers defending the honor
of the entire officers' coips, as well do
their own personal honor. To this the
Novoe Vremya replies that It would be
better to permit officers to wear civil
clothing when off military duty.
Will Be Great Distress in Russia.
ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 14. It can
now be foreseen that the widespread crop
failures, the consequent famine and the
relief work of the government and of phil
anthropists will be engrossing subjects in
this empire during the approaching Win
ter. The word famine is not used In the
official publications, which speak of famine-stricken
districts as "places that are
in an unfavorable condition as respects
the harvest," but the facts that are freely
admitted show that the struggle to keep
the peasant population alive until a new
harvest will be harder than has been
known since 1S91-2. The extent of the
disaster can be vaguely surmised from an
inspection of the government report,
wfilch names the Province of Viatka as
among thoBe where there was an "Insuffi
cient harvest," and which gives the
amount of governmental assistance re
quired at 7S2.000 poods ofrye.

Medical Journals.
Thousands of Such Cases
Mr. Storms' Letter.
A medical journal, says a writer In the
Boston Traveler, has the names and ad
dresses and full histories of hundreds of
cases of chronic and acute rheumatism,
that have been permanently cured by the
wonderful remedy which has recently
been attracting wide attention since Gov
ernor Yates, of IHlnol3, publicly indorsed
it
Nothing else has ever known to cure
like obstinate cases. When all others have
failed this marvelous remedy for blood
and nerves has made sick people well.
Paine's celery compound corrects un
healthy nerve action and feeds the nerve
centers with the elements needed to build
them up again Into healthy tissues. It
cleanses the blood of every trace of pois
onous humor and encourages a rapid
growth of the red corpuscles upon which
the vogor of the entire .body depends.
..ts action Is perfectly intelligible to
every able physician.
Diseases of the nervous system do not

compound feeds these vital parts, and It
Is upon Its marvelous power of nourish
ing all the nerve tissues and purifying
the blood that Its remarkable cures de
pend. Weariness, lack of energy, and despond

nearly a year to come, many are already
showing the symptoms that sooner or
later result from hurry, care, anxiety,
and haste without the amount of rest
and recreation that nature Intended.
Thousands of tired mothers, school
teachers, and too ambitious scholars will
reveal the strain before the Winter la
over.
It Is high time for all to strike at tho
root of the trouble. Begin the work of
recuperation and cure at the earllost mo
ment All who try it will find strength and
freedom from disease In Paine's celery
compound which corrects unhealthy nerve
action, and supplies the veins with pure,
more abundant, more vigorous "blood.
Paine's celery compound Is almost uni
versally prescribed by physicians who
differ on many other things, but who es
timate1 at its proper worth this greatest
of all remedies for the prevention and
cure of disease. It Is no exaggeration to
say that every week brings hundreds of
letters from those who have used Paine's
celery compound and have been benefited
by it Above Is the picture of Represen
