3T, VGWnJm, &AY 29, 1W, -wcr S fr1 i of PE-RU-NA MOTHERS AND CHILDREN ARE THE FRIENDS When Sickness Comes to the Little Ones Pe-ru-na Protects the Little Ones Pe-ru-na Should be Kept in Every Household It Is the Mother Who Chiefly Suffers Where There Are Little Children. SHE STTKUXT She Buffers even more than the child who happens to be sick. Her sympa thy is deeper than that of any other member or the family. The mothers Jook forward -with dfa,d. to the horrid heat of Summer.. thinking of thelrv children and the many liabilities to disease that are be fore them. Spring: and Summer are sure to bring- ailments, especiallv among: the little folks. It does not take a mother very lone to discover that Peruna Is the best friend she has in times of illness among: the children. The doctors may come and go -with their different theories and constant change of remedies, i The doctor of years ago save entire ly different remedies than he does to day. Each year finds some change In his prescriptions and in the drugs he relies upon. A Great Multitude of Mothers Have discovered that Peruna Is the standby, and that in all the ailments of Spring: and Summer to which the children are subjected, Peruna is the remedy that will most quickly relieve. Whether It is Spring- fever or stom ach derangement, whether It is Indi gestion or bowel disease, a catarrhal congestion of the mucous surfaces is the cause. Peruna quickly relieves this condi tion of the mucoup membranes. Its operation Is prompt, the children do not dislike to take the medicine, it has no deleterious effects in any part of the body. It simply removes the cause of the disagreeable symptoms and restores the health. Peruna Is not a physic Peruna Is not a nervine nor a narcotic Peruna does not produce any drug habit, how ever long It may be taken. Peruna Is not a stimulant. Peruna is a specific remedy for all catarrhal ailments of "Winter and Summer, acute or chronic The mothors all oer the United States are the best friends that Peru na has. The Mothers Hold Pe-ru-na in High Esteem, Not only because it has cured them of their -various aliments, but because it always rescues the children from the throes and grasp of catarrhal diseases. We have in our flies bushels of testi monials from mothers whose children have been cured by Peruna. However, the large majority of mothers who use Peruna, we never hear from. But we do hear from a great number of mothers who are so overjoyed at some special, good they have received from Peruna that they cannot restrain their enthusiasm. They are anxious to share theso benefits with other moth ers The Benefit Which the Children of the United States Have Receiyed From Peruna Can Never Be Put Into "Words. The chronic ailments it has prevent ed, the suffering it has mitigated, will never be fully recorded. But at least this much can be said, that the coming generation owes a great debt to Peruna. for it is in the tender years of youth that slight ail ments are liable to develop into last ing diseases, thus blasting the whole career of the individual. The mothers who are bringing up their children today to believe In Pe runa are doing a great work for hu manity. These children, brought up to be lieve in Peruna from tho start, will, when they become heads of families themselves, use Peruna with unques tioning faith. MASKiNGREALFORCE Russians Now See Through Japanese Movements, WILL NOW MOVE ON LIAO YANG While the Third Army Is Attacking That Stronghold, Another Will At tempt to Reduce Port Arthur. ST. PETERSBURG. May 2S. Tho news contained in tho following dispatch to the Emperor from General Kuropatkin, under date of May 27, Is all that was officially given out tonight: "On May 5 a Japanese force, consist ing of a battalion of infantry and a squad ron of cavalry, advanced on the main road to Liao Tang, but was soon com pelled to retire toward Tkhoulnenze. "A second Japanese detachment, con sisting of a battalion of Infantry, at tho -village of Dapu. in the Ai Valley, flred heavily on our Cossacks from 10 in the morning until 4 in the afternoon, hut the Japanese Infantry failed in an attempt to turn the Cossacks right flank and inter cept their retreat." While tho dispatch is brief and bald, it i? considered extremely significant. Tho fact that the Japanese commenced to advance along the main Liao Tang road immediately they had forced the neck of the Liao Tung peninsula and cut off Major-General Pock from, any co operation with the Russians In the north ehows a thorough understanding between the Japanese commanders. The authorities here bellevo the ad vance from Feng Wang Cheng has only boen suspended, ponding the elimination ct Fock's force, and they expect that the ndxance upon .Liao Tang will now be pushed In earnest. It is eldent that the continual shifting of and skirmishing by the advanced posts of the Japanese around Feng Wang Cheng have been merely 'successful in masking the real force, consisting of the third army, which is moving north from Takushan. It is expected that this force will be hurled upon Liao Tang, while the Siuthern Japanese force Is busy before Pert Arthur.

RUSSIANS MUST SEEK FORT. All Realize They Can Make No Stand Short of Port Arthur. ST. PETERSBURG. May 2S. There is no attempt here to disguise the fact that the successful forcing of the neck of Kwan Tung peninsula proper puts a practical end to resist ance to the enemy until he reaches the actual fortifications around Port Ar thur. Although there are many strong position in the more than 25 miles be fore the perimeter of the fortress i reached, the authorities admit that the Russians can offer little resistance, and must now retire within the fortress and undertake to defend themselves against a siege. Neither tho Admiral ty nor the general staff has any direct Information. Like the outside world, the Admiralty and general staff are do pendent entirely upon the enemy for news. Native reports, which may bo of some value, are, however, expected shortly. While there Is no disposition to ques tion the main facts sent out officially from Tokio, some unofficial reports from Japanese sources are being re ceived with caution. The impossibil ity of holding the advance positons around KInchou in the face of over whelming odds has all along been ad mitted, but on account of the charac ter of the position, as well as its de fenses, the general staff cannot but bellexe that the defense must have been heroic, and that the positions were only taken by a display of des perate courage and at a frightful cost The earlier news was received In a calm spirit by both the public and the newspapers, but If the latest reports that the Japanese captured 60 guns Is con firmed It is sure that the effect will be much deeper and is certain to be con sidered a severe blow. Until that report arrived the feeling was that the Rus sians had resisted to the limit of human enduranqe and had retired In good order; but if this number of guns was taken, it will put a different complexion upon things, though It Is conceivable here that if the Japanese operating fleet landed forces at San Shi LI Phu and Talienwan and got In the rear of the Russian posi tions the abandonment of the guns might have become necessary. This view, how eer, will hardly diminish the extent of the disaster. TACTICS SURPRISE RUSSIANS Kuropatkin Expected Japanese Cam paign to Be One of Display. NIU CHWANG, May 2S A staff officer Just from Mukden says the de liberation and precision of the enemy has surprised General Kuropatkin, who at first believed the Japanese campaign would be one of dashing recklessness with more theatrical display about the maneu vers than strategy.

It Is said upon excellent authority that the Japanese plan Is to use a force of 100,000 men in their operations against Port Arthur, and take it by storm In a fortnight They realize that their losses in the execution of this plan will be severe, but It itf considered better to risk that than to keep a large army idle for three months. They do not propose, It is further said, to penetrate into the interior of the country any fur ther than Mukden. The Russian authorities have secured 2,000,000 in coin by French steamer. WILL RESIST ADVANCE. Japanese Are Preparing to Clash With Cossacks. SEOUL, Corea, May 29, 7 P. M. Contin uous and conflicting reports concerning the movements of the Russians are being received from Corean sources with wild guesses as to the number of men seen, while owing to the differences existing btween the Corean and Japanese pronun ciation it is difficult to determine the dif ferent localities mentioned. In reliable quarters here, the present Russian strength in the provinces of Hani Heung Is estimated at about 1000 men with 12 guns, who It is anticipated will be re inforced In the near future. The Cos sacks state that COO cavalry and WOO in fantry are now following In their rear. The main bodies of the Invaders are ad vancing by two routes flanked and pre ceded by small scouting parties. It Is not known whether their objective point Is Ping Tang or Gensan, the latter being an easy prey, the town, stretching along tho beach in a cup-like hollow formed by the surrounding hills. According to the latest report the Cos. sacks have occupied Puk Chong and it Is known that the Japanese are preparing to resist their advance. It Is now probable that a column will be sent "north from Gensan and a body of Infantry left here today to reinforce the garrison stationed at that town. OCCUPY SECOND LINE.

Fifty guns and many other things were captured by the Japanese May 26. CZAR IS MUCH AGITATED. Loss of Guns Is a Hard Blow-Defeat, the Fortune of War. ST. PETERSBURG, May 28. Emperor Nicholas received the news of the result of the fighting at Kinchou and In Its vicinity, at the palace of Tsarkoe Selo. He at once sent for War Minister Sak harkoff, with whom His Majesty, with the members of his military cabinet, went over the dispatches. The Emperor re ceived the report that the Russians were compelled to retreat before the heavy aruiiery nre or tne enemy's batteries In front and of his warships on their flank with composure as being the fortune of war, but he was considerably agitated by the later reports that General Fock had not succeeded in saving the Russian guns. The members of the military cabinet pointed out that this later report was not official, and besides expressed complete confidence that Port Arthur itself could not be reduced, except at an immense cost of time and men and with the aid of the heaviest kind of guns. General Sakharkoff also said he did not believe the report that the enemy had arrived within ten miles of Port Arthur 21 hours after the desperate fighting at KInchou. The news In the foreign dispatches has produced the usual crop of sensational stories about the Russian government concealing the extent of the disaster, but the only Justification for this allegation seems to be the sudden stoppage "of all newspaper dispatches from the seat of war. Most of the foreign reports aro al lowed to be printed as soon as received. An officer of the general staff declared to tho Associated Press that the loss of guns reported captured was unavoidable, If confined to those mounted on the works on the hUls below Kinchou, as they could not be carried away when the Russians retired, but the breech locks, he added, had been removed. Before the enemy could use the guns before Port Arthur they would have to manufacture special cart ridges. Therefore, the loss was not seri ous. The Important thing to ascertain -was whether the Japanese had captured any field guns. The same officer said the works at KIn chou had been hastily constructed and were no criterion of the works at Port Arthur, which could not be flanked where the forts were scientifically erected and connected to support each other. "If the Japanese lost 3000 men In taking Kinchou," the officer said, "they will lose 30,000 men at least, If they try to take Port Arthur. Even with such sacrifice I consider the capture of the fortress to be impossible. Port Arthur, in my opin ion, is impregnable, as long as its food and ammunition hold out" Captain Roudniff, formerly commander of the Russian cruiser Vanag, sunk off Chemulpo, has been appointed to com mand the battleship Andrei Pervozannul, which will not be ready for two years, thus disposing of irresponsible reports that either he or the members of the Varlag's crew lntenaed to violate their promise not to re-enter the service during the war.

ALL HASTE IS BEING MADE Russia Realizes the Squadron Can Give No Aid in Raising the Siege at Port Arthur--8ixty-Two Ships Are to Be Sent In the Fall. ST. PETERSBURG, May 2S. Although work is being pushed night and day to prepare the Baltic fleet for service, it is feared now that It cannot be ready to sail for the Far East before October. The delay is considered especially unfortunate. In view of the situation at Port Arthur, where tho arrival of the fleet before the fall of the fortress -would compel the raising of the siege. It has been found necessary to put the battleship Orel, which recently sank at her moorings, at Cronstadt, owing to her sea valves being left open, and was subsequently floated, and on which an ex plosion killing 10 stokers was alleged to have afterward occurred, in dry-dock, and possibly she may not accompany the Bal tic fleet to the Far East There 13 no intention of purchasing any South American warships offered by pri vate firms. Neither has Russia any In tention of buying foreign merchantmen for transport purposes. Four Hamburg American liners were bought by the mer chant marine department and turned over to tho navy to become part of the volun teer fleet . Twenty transports will accompany the Baltic fleet carrying coal, ammunition and naval stores. There will be also repair, water condensing and hospital ships. Altogether, 62 shlp? will go out under Vlce-Admlral Rojestvensky. Admiral Blrlnleff, the naval commander at Cronstadt Is becoming celebrated for his remarkable orders of the day. One Issued this morning says: "I visited the schoolshlp Nevka and did not find her captain or lieutenant Two midshipmen in charge of 50 cadets did not know how to turn out and salute the Admiral. They did not know wherefore they were on board. God save the Nevka on a cruise." The Russians are so convinced of the efficiency of submarine boats that many of the wealthiest and most influential peo ple have formed an association to promote the construction of vessels of that class as being "ideal defensive craft and such as are required "by a Pacific power like Russia." Count Sheremetcff has con tributed 5100.000 and Midshipman Solda tleko has subscribed $2000 toward the fund being raised to build submarine boats.

Vatican Will Walt a Time for French Ambassador to Return. ROME, May 28. After conferences held at the Vatican today on the subject of the Franco-Vatican situation, the opinion seemed to prevail that should France not send her Ambassador back to the Vati can within a short time the papal nuncio at Paris, Monsignor Lorenzelli, will be summoned to Rome. He will be created a cardinal at a consistory to be held in July, and his post in Paris will not be filled. The pope was up until 1 o'clock thi3 morning awaiting telegrams about the re sult of the debate in the French Cham ber of Deputies, on the policy of the Combes Ministry towards the Vatican. Notwithstanding" the anti-papal statement of Premier Combes, the pontiff expresaed satisfaction that the chamber did not adopt the proposal of the extreme parties, rendering "Franco-Vatican rupture defin ite, as he believes that with time and reciprocal explanations all will be satis factorily settled. The Pontiff has reserved a definite de cision as to his future attitude until he has consulted the leading cardinals and received the report of the papal nuncio at Paris and the minutes of the sitting of the chamber.

She seemed to get better, but the relief was only temporary, as I noticed that with tho next cold she contracted she was worse. "I had used Peruna myself some time before with such good results that I decided to give it to her, feeling sure that there was nothing In it that could injure her.
