Miss M. Cartledge gives some helpful advice to young girls. Her letter is but one of thou sands which prove that nothing is so helpful to young girls who are just arriving at the period of womanhood as Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound. “D rab M rs P inkham : — I cannot praise Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege table Compound too highly, for it is the only medicine I ever tried which cured me. I suffered much from my first menstrual period, I felt so weak and dizzy at times 1 could not pursue my studies with the usual interest.

The results of the recent trials of swindlers who have been robbing the public all over America show very clearly that the sufferers by misrepre sentation and fraud need not look to the courts for redress A prominent journal in commenting upon the recent Whittaker Wright tragedy in London, remarked. “Had he been tried in this cduntry he would never have been con victed;” and the same might be ap plied to every similar case of the kind which has.cropped up in our courts of late. This immunity has made indi viduals of this class daring, and* in stead of profiting by their escape through laxity, not of law itself, but in the execution, they have at times the audacity to air themselves before an outraged community in an attempt to make themselves out tbe injured par ties. The failure of the courts to do justice and the recognition that they are rapidly becoming tbe safe-guards of the criminal classes will lead to trouble eventually, when people find they have no other course but to protect them selves against outrage and robbery.

BLOWN UP BY Naval Battle Off Port Arthur ar Reported to Be Still ill Progress. __ Che Foo, April 14.—It has been learned, from Japanese sources here that the attack on the Russian Port Arthur fleet Wednesday was planned and put into effect in the following manner: At daylight the Japanese torpedo-boats made a demonstration before the port, and at the same time laid mines across the outer entrance to the harbor. They then retired and joined the main squadron. The squad ron then advanced, and as it drew near the Russian ehips were seen coming out. The battleship Petro pavlovsk struck one of the mines laid by the Japanese torpedo-boats and was destroyed. 8t. Petersburg, April 14.—Rear-Ad miral Prince Ouktomsky wires from Port Arthur that the Bezstrachni, one of the Russian torpedo-boat destroyers sent out during the night to reconnoi ter, became separated from the rest of the fleet, owing to the bad weather prevailing, was surrounded by Japan ese torpedo-boat destroyers and was sunk in the fight. Five men were saved. Admiral Ouktomsky adds: “I have taken command provisional ly of the fleet since the disaster to the Petropavlovsk. During soma maneuvering of the battleship squad ron the Pobeda struck against a mine amidships on the starboard side. She was able to regain port by herself. No one on board of her was killed or wounded.” St Petersburg, April 14.—Forty-five officers and men perished on the tor pedo boat destroyer Bezstrachni, whose destruction by the Japanese has just been announced. Washington, April 14.— The Japan ese minister has received a dispatch from his government emb, dying an official report from Admiral Urlu re garding the engagement off Port Är- thur, as follows: "According to the report of the tor- pedo destroyed flotilla, No. 3, our fleet approached Port Arthur on the 13th of April and sunk one battleship of the enemy of the Petropavlovsk type and one torpedo-boat destroyer.' No damage to our fleet No report yet from Admiral Togo.” Toklo, April 14.—A brief report from Admiral Urul of Wednesday’s fighting off Port Arthur has just reached the navy department It says Vice-Admiral Togo’s fleet attacked Port Arthur in the morning and sue ceeded In sinking a battleship of the Petropavlosk class and one torpedo boat destroyer. Tbe Japanese sus- tained no losses One Japanese was wounded. A detailed report of the engagement is expected hourly. St Petersburg, April 14.—An offi- clal bulletin has been Issued, convey ing the Intelligence of the loss of an other torpedo boat destroyer and the accidental crippling of another battle ship, was almost as severe a blow as the loss of the Petropavlosk. and has plunged the whole town anew into grief. The dispatch puts an end to the idea prevailing here that there had been an engagement following the disaster to the Petropavlosk. It is considered remarkable here that the Jai>anese did not take advan tage of this terrible accident to attack Port Arthur. Wei-Hal-Wei, April 14.—A severe naval action took place at Port Ar thur yesterday. There was apparent ly two distinct operations. Some Jap anese ships approached Port Arthur about daylight, and firing for two hours was heard well out at sea by the steame -s Pronto and Lokosang. The Russian fleet sallied out a'nd the Japanese withdrew. Further Japan ese war ships came up and obliged Vice-Admiral Makaroff to return to the harbor, which he did about 7:30 o’clock, and tn the process his ship, the battleship Petropavlovsk, struck a mine and was blown up. Only a few were saved and the admiral himself was drowned. The attack on Port Arthur by the Japanese main squad ron began hal fan hour later and last ed some little time. The notable Inci dent of the fight at sea arose from an attempt by the Japanese to intercept a largo Russian cruiser which was coming from the east. The Askold and a battleship of the Pobieda type went to the assistance of their com rade, but the forts at Port Arth r were too far off to take any part in the action against the Japanese ves sels, apparently four cruisers and one battleship. Their efforts seem to have been unsuccessful. The fire was con tinuous, but of short duration. wei, telegraphing under date of April lt3h, says: “Tho British cruiser Espleglo re ports that at 5:45 o’clock this morn ing she sJghted five Japanese wa" ships engaging" the cruiser Bayan, making for Port Arthur from the di-1 rection of the Yal.1. Tho cruiser As kold and another cruiser issued froa Port Arthur to assist tho Bayaa. At 6:45 o’clock the Russians got under the shelter of the forts, but the Bayan was evidently damaged, as quantities of steam were seen escaping. “At 8 o’clock the Japanese ships opened a heavy gun Are on the forts, which did not reply, and after fifteen minutes’ bombardment the Japanese retired to the eastward.” These are all you need With a Rock Island System time table and Car one of our folders, “Across the Continent in a Tourist Sleeper,” you can easily figure out your route to any point in the Rast.

St. Petersburg, April 14.—The late Vice-Admiral Makaroff was appointed February 26th to the command of the Russian Pacific fleet. He was one oi the heroes of the fighting on the rivei Danube during the Russo-Turkish war. Makaroff and Skrydloff, who have since many times been honored by their government, were at the time lieutenants in the Russian navy and volunteered to make a night attack on a powerful Turkish ironclad. With a torpedo boat they succeeded in blowing up the Turkish vessel, and, it was asserted at the time, thereby made the first successful demonstra tion of the usefulness of torpedo boats in naval warfare. Makaroff originated the idea of con structing the famous ice-breaking steamer Erniak, which was built on tbe Tyne from his designs. L. B. COBHAM, Ceneral Agent, 140 Third Street, Portland, Ore. Man of Great Courage. Since the appointment to the com- mand of the Russian Pacific fleet, Makaroff has shown himself to be a man of great courage and energy Early in March he personally went to the rescue of a Russian torpedo-boat destroyer which was hard pressed by the Japanese and inspired the naval forces under bis command with a great deal of enthusiasm.
