THE MORNING ASTORIAN, FRIDAY, MAY 13, 1904.
is the
Most Important
In buying food-products, several things
are to be thought of i. e., Economy,
Results, Easy Handling, Reliability, but
the most important is Health.
Health means everything. In buying
clothes, shoes, hats, furniture, etc, if the 1
buyer is deceived and gets an imitation
the only harm is loss of money. In buy
ing food-products, if imitations are sup
plied, there is not only a loss of money,
but perhaps an injury to health which
is beyond price.

BAKING POWDER
ABSOLUTELY PURE
The names of more than 100 vot
ers were added to the registration
lists yesterday and during the hour
for which the county clerk's oflice
was kept open last night. The
registration is now but 146 short
of that of 1902, and one lively day
will make up the difference. Mr.
Clinton's office will again be open
this evening between 7 and 8 for
the accommodation of tardy voters.
Yesterday's gain iu the city was
43, bringing up the total to 1407,
or 23 more than the total of two
years ago. The country gained 57,
of which 43 were sent in from Clif
ton, raising the outside precincts
to 739, or 169 less than the regis
tration of 1902. Westport is about
: the only outside precinct which H
still materially shy, and return1
from that town are daily expected.
Clifton yesterday assumed third
place in the list of outside pre
cincts, Seaside and New Astoria
alone leading. Clifton's present
registration is C6.
The registrations in the various
city precincts were as follows :

Victoria, May 12. Missionary
passengers by the Empress liner
bring advices of an atrocious mas
sacre on the west coast of British
North Borneo. On March 31. at
10 o'clock at night, a band of 150
rebels from the interior, armed
with guns, parangs, spears and
blowpipes, swept down upon the
little colony at Kawang railway sta
tion, midway between Jesselton
and Papar. The band divided into
two parts, one of a hundred remain
ing concealed as a reserve on the
top of a hill, while the other 50
rushed down upon the settlement,
butchered the inmates of the Chi
nese shops, attacked the railway
station, smashed the telephone, and
killed the wife and child of the
stationmaster, the latter saving his
life by hiding in the bush.
The . band of murderers then
turned their attention to the coolies,
most of them Chinese, killing and
wounding savagely right and left.
The English railway driver was
the next victim, a speedy and ter-
NATURE SPARES
The Strlekea Rom From Grief.
What a fortunate provision of nature
It Is, that deprive the rose of mental
uttering; for how poignant would be It
grief to discover, In the height of its
blooming glory, that a canker fed at It
heart, and that Its beauty and fragrance
were doomed forever. Nature always
spares the suffering; she is a veritable
store-houee of pleasing rewards, for
those who seek her aid. In the years
gone by falling hair and graynesa have
cast a gloom over the lives of thousands
of young women, but thank to the In

rible end coming to him and his
wife. The carnage then became
general, males, females and inno
cent babes being butchered in the
lust for blood. The houses and huts
in the Kampong were set fire to
next in the brutal career of the sav
ages, and when nothing was left
but dead bodies and cruelly wound
ed people, ashes and desolation, the
sanguinary wretches went their
way.
The survivors, one native fire
man, the stationmaster, with a few
of the wounded coolies, ran down

ton for their lives. By putting al)
steam on the construction engine
stationed there, the terrible news
was carried to Jesselton, putting
all the inhabitants of that place in
panic. i

St. Petersburg, May 12. (4:16
m.) Viceroy AlexiefT has tele

that the Russians have blown up
the docks and piers at Port Dalnyi

Russian Emperor Desires to Be Nearer
Scene of Conflict
St. Petersburg, May 12.-(1:28
p. m.j fcmperor Nicholas is ar
ranging to go to KharkofT, May 23,
to bid farewell to the Tenth army
corps upon its departure for the
far east.
The Associated Press learns from
the highest source that the emperor
is exceedingly anxious to go to the
front. To his intimates recently he
has spoken much on the subject,
but he realizes that conditions of
state demand his presence at home.
Nevertheless, it is now not con
sidered impossible that he will fol,
low the example of all the Roman
off dynasty during this campaign
and undergo his baptism of fire.
To fight with the army is one of
the traditions of his house. Alex
ander I. entered Paris with the al
lied powers after the battle of
Waterloo. Nicholas I. died in a
common soldier's hovel in the Cri
mea, and Alexander II., with the
heir-apparent, were at the front,
during the Turkish war.
Perhaps an additional reason
why Emperor Nicholas desires to
meet the enemy is that he carries
on his body the mark of a wound
inflicted by a fanatical Japanese
policeman when he was attacked in
a theater at Otsu, during his visit
to Japan in 1898, only having been
saved from death by the nqble ac
tion of his cousin, Prince George
of Greece. Should he finally con
clude to go, the emperor would not
assume active command of the
troops, but would have an imperial
headquarters, taking with him all
the members of his military cabi
net. Being on the spot, the em
peror would more easily advisa
General Kuropatkin in the event of
any question of great military mo
ment which he might desire to sub
mit to his majesty. But, of course,
the chief advantage would be the
stimulus which the personal pre
Fired en Red Cross Train Before Sig
nal Were Displayed.
London, May 12. (6:56 p. in.)
The Japanese legation here this
afternoon gave out an official tele
gram from the foreign office at
Tokio regarding the Russian
charge that the Japanese on May 6
fired on a train from Port Arthur,
flying the Red Cross flag.
It Rays the train did not carry
any special marks until after the
Russian soldiers had fired on the
Japanese and the latter had re
sponded. When the train stopped,
the Red Cross flag was hoisted and
the Japanese immediately stopped
firing and proceeded to examine it:
whereupon the train went on at
full speed and escaped.
The Japanese foreign office's
telegram also said that, while then
is no reason to apprehend that
China intends breaking her neu
trality, the Japanese government
has found it advisable to warn the
Chinese government to observe
strict neutrality.
That's All To-day.
