BfJUlN SYSTEAlAriC Sl-ACH. Odd Fellows ond Masons Will Remains of A. N. Drake. Hunt Today the scaich for llio remains of traces of A. Drake who disappeared hear West Fork on January IS, will bo begun by a party of thirty or forty Odd Fellows and Masons and other indiv uals, who will make an inspection of tho territory in a thorough and systematic manner, so that that part onco passed over will not need to bo covered again. Joseph Micelli, Grand Master of the Odd Fellows, returned from Glendale, Tuesday, where he had gone to organize the Eearcli party, and states that tho abovo plan was the one which would - bo followed, as soon as the snow had dis appeared, and that the weather lias been such as to make the beginning to day opportune. That foul play has been done is very strongly suspieioned and this belief grows daily. As has been Btated in the Plaixdealkr, some very suspicious cir cumstances in connection with the mat ter are known and their lead may bring about the unearthing of the crime of murder. It is only for the sake of justice that this paper refrains from publish ing the facts which if proven in a court would make a strong chain of circum stantial evidence against the suspected parties. .Mrs. A. N. Drake, wife of the missing man, accompanied by Wilbur Brown, of Dixonville, was in Roseburg yesterday afternoon, and took the even ing train to Tunnel 5, so as to be in touch with the searching party. Mrs. Drake is in a distracted state oi mind from the awful anxiety of the uncertain ty of her husband's fate. Life of Senator Manna. Senator Marcus Alanzo Hanna was born September 24, 1S37, at Lisbon, Co lumbian countv, 0. His father was a physican, and later a merchant of Clevelan 1, where the family moved in 1S52. Mr. Hanna was educated in the pub lic schools of Cleveland and at the age of 20 entered his father's store as a clerk. Soon after thia bis father dieJ and he assumed the business which was sold in 1S67 and he associated himself with Rhodes & Co., one of the largest coal dealers in Cleveland. In 1S77 ho be came the senior member and the firm's name was changed to M. A. Hanna & Co., with which he is still identified. Following the organization of the Union National bank of Cleveland in 18S4 he was elected president and stil boids that office. Mr. Hanna was a delegate at large from the state of Ohio to the Republican national conventions of l&tt and 1S9G and in 1SSS was a district delegate. A warm friend of Gen. John Sherman, he was energetic in advocating his nom ination in ISSOand 1S31. During the winter of 1895-06 he took charge of Major McKinley's preliminary canvass for the presidency, and so well did he conduct the campaign that ha was chosen chairman of the national committee and given tht entire con duct of Uie campaign which he carried to a successful issue. Without having been born in poverty he is nevertheless self-made for he hu carved out his own career in paths his father never trod. An indefatigable worker, and full of confidence himself. he inspired everybody about him with like faith and enthusiasm. More a bus iness man than a politician, he carried his business methods into the manage ment of his political campaigns, elimi nating as far as possible the item of chance. The greatest aim of his life was to bring capital and labor together upon friendly terms and to organize their forces so that theyshould settle their own differences by arbitration. Mr. Hanna has always been active in the management of his personal affairs, having them organized and systematized under a force of men wiiose respect he has held because he has treated them with respect and has always been fair with them. On March 7, 1897, Mr.'Hanna was ap pointed United States senator to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Senator John Sherman, and to this seat he was re-elected in 1893 for the term expiring in 1905. He was a director in the Globe iron works, president of the Cleveland City Railway company and the Chapin Min ing company.and has numerous mining and shipping interests. A. F. & A. ftl.

Where there used to be a feeling of uneasiness and worry in tho household when a child showed symptoms of croup there is now perfect confidence. This io owing to the uniform success of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy in tho treat ment of that disease. Mrs. M. I.

THE JAPANESE ARE PREPARING TO FLANK THE RUSSIAN FORCES AT PORT ARTHUn. . London', Feb. 17 A dispatch to the St. James's Gazette from Kobe Japan, in reporting the Japanese naval attack on Port Arthur February 14, says the Russian guardship in the harbor and another Russian war ship lying outside the harbor were torpedoed, and that tho Japanese re tired without sustaining any injury. Sasbbo, Japan, Feb. 17 The opinion of Japanese naval officers here is that a third fight has occurred off Port Arthur, some of the Russian war vessels having been reported as having that place. Tokio, Feb, IS A heavy storm spared the Russians from a des parate torpedo attack at Port Arthur on the morning of Sunday, the 14th instant. During the preceding night the Japanese flotilla of tor pedo craft were parted by the force of the wind and waves in a blind ing snow storm, so that only two of the larger destroyers succeeded in forcing their way through the fierce gale to Port Arthur. When they arrived there they attacked separately, and one of them is confident it succeeded in torpedoing a Russian warship. The destroyer Asagiri, in charge of Lieutenant-Commander Ishika wa, arrived off Port Arthur about 3 o'clock the same morning, and was met with a sharp fire from the fortress and Russian ships acting as scouts. The Asagiri discharged several torpedoes at a big warship, but the result is unknown, and fought the scouting vessels with guns until they withdrew. The destroyer Heyatory, Lieutenant-Commander Take nouchi, arrived two hours after the Asagiri and ran up close to the mouth of the harbor, where she found two warships, names unknown. She .fired a torpedo at one and the torpedo exploded. Ishikawa is cer tain he hit the ship. Admiral Togo, in reporting the attack, says, although the results are unknown, he feels sure the moral effect upon the enemy will be excellent. Commander Nagai commanded the entire torpedo flotilla. The number of the craft engaged and the point of their departure is con cealed, the simple statement being made that they left their base of operations January 30. Port Arthur, Feb. 17. The report that the Japanese have con centrated about 00,000 troops at Won Son, on the east coastof Corea, with the object of entering Manchuria, is confirmed. Tokio, Feb. 17. Eight transports, with Japanese troops from Nagasaki, and several additional vessels carrying war munitions, are on their way to the west coast of Corea. Detachments of Japanese cav alry have already landed at Wiju, on the Yalu River. Paris, Feb. 17. An official dispatch received here from Tokio an nounces that one of the most important movements of Japanese troops yet made is occuring today. One of the main branches of the army, consisting of three divisions, each including a division of guards, is now going on board transports. The previous landings of Japanese troops in Corea ond elsewhere are said to have been small compared with this simultaneous sailing of three divisions, aggregating approximately an army of 30,000 to 50,000. The Japanese authorities have taken every precaution to prevent information from going out concerning the embarkation and the desti nation of this army. It is believed, but this is not sure, that the desti nation of this force is a point near the mouth of the Yalu River, a spot on the Liao Tung Peninsula flanking Port Arthur. Japan's Brilliant Opening. The brilliant naval achievements with which Japan signalizes tho opening of the war with Russia have no parallel in the beginning of hostilities between na tions. The daring, swift and complete destruction of the Spanieh fleet in Ma nila Bay by Admiral Dewey was an in spiring example for the Japanese com manders. But the Spanish ships were not such formidable and up-to date fight ing machines as were the Russian bat tleships and armored cruisers that the "Japs" have disabled at Port Arthur or sent to tho bottom off Chemulpo. It is impossible for the great majority of Americans to fe?l anything except warm admiration for the daring, the skill, the celerity and thoroughness of the initial naval attack of the Yankees" of the East." This feeling is not alto gether due to a natural sympathy with tho smaller antagonist tho "uuder dog in the fight" who boldly tackles his big enemy. The Japanese nation has shown such marveloub progress and capacity for self-improvement since the United States first secured there an "open door" for tho entrance of civilization that it has compelled the wonder and com manded the respect of tho Western world. Russia, on the contrary, remains the same absolute and cruel despotism, the foe of liberty, tho oppressor of tho weak, that she has ever been. When the ap peal to raco prejudice is made, as it now is "How can Americans sympathize with yellow men against white men?" the answer is furnished by Napoleon: "Scratch n Russian and you will find a Tartar." The Russian whiteness is on ly skin deepl The war is of courtio not settled by these naval victories. Russia's reserve strength on land is enormous, and her figthing spirit is thoroughly aroused by these swift and slinging blows. But hor sea power in tho East is apparently hopclcBaly broken, and with command of this Japan has secured a trcmundous j advantage.

Kinney, promoter of the big railroad enterprise for a line from Salt Lake City to Coos Bay, through Roseburg, returned tho first of the week from San Franc:sco and departed last night for Portland, enroute to Coos Bay, in company with C. F. Humphrey, of San Francisco, who arrived here Tues day to look over the situation with Ma jor Kinney. When asked if he had anything lo say for the public Major Kinney said: "I am glad to be back at Roseburg and regain my health. We cannot announce anything definite as yet, but I am still working on the enterprise and expect to ultimately make it to. The gentleman who is hero with mi "s ii. lirectly inter ested with me. Thi trip will 1 - imply to clear up some uid iattcis iu legard to real estate on Coos Bay. Of course this undertaking lias its natural disad vantages but we are working to over come them. You may say that I am dead in earnest about thia project and! that we have not the least idea of giving it up.' I Major Kinney thinks a lot of the great natural advantages of this section of the j country and says that the people here : do not begin to realize their importance j and the future that is in store. i Mr. Humphrey says that he was sur- j prised to ltarn the real wealth of this j section. "I have been through here be- f6re but have never made any investiga-' tion as to the resources or wealth. Tbe amount of money on deposit in the local banks astonishes me, and makes me ; wonder why s8 much capital should lie practically idle. Why it is just like box ing up bread away from the starving. There is enough money laid up in this town which if put in action would make this section one of the most prosperous in the land." Oardlncr Notes. Mrs. J. R. Daily, of Sulphur Springs, left last Monday via the overland route for Eureka, California, where she had been hastily summoned to the bedside of her younrest fister, Josie Cowan, who is dangerouslv ill at the borne of ber relatives in that city. We are told that the rails for 11 miles of railroad construction are soon to be laid on the s round at Drain. And that the work of excavating for the new de pot there will begin at once. The new books and instruments for tbe Gaidiner bras band arrived on the stage from Coos Bay Wednesday. The band will now hold its regular meetings up stairs over the Hub hall every Tues day evening. Osteite. When You Have a Cold The first action when you have a cold should be to relieve the lungs. This is best accomplished by the free twe of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. This remedy liquefies th- tough mucus and causes its expulsion from the air cells of the lungs, produces a free expectora tion, and opens the secretions. A com plete cure soon follows. This remedy will cure a severs cokl in less time than any other treatment and it leaves tho system in a natural and healthy condi tion. It counteracts any tendency to ward pneumonia. For sale by A.

Quite often the liver is the first organ which becomes disordered, and constipation, biliousness, sick headache and general physical tor por make life miserable. There's only one way to deal with liver "trouble" and that is to go to the root of the disease, and cure it once for all. Such cures of the disordered or diseased liver almost always follow the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It always helps. It almost always cures. It reg ulates the liver, strengthens the stomach, and purifies the blood. "Dr. Wtrce' GoWtn Medical Dtucovery U the beat medicine made,'' writes Michael Maher. of IJtllcfall. K.
