Sew 'i or.K, April 21. A Journal dis
patch from Athens says: (
The ivaron the frontier continues with
unabated fury, and all along the line
from the Gulf of Salonica on the east to
the GnH of Arta on the west, a desper-'
nte Etrncgle is going on inr the mastery.
The advance of the Turkish forces on
Tvrnavos has not been seriously checked,
though from Groeek sources come many ,
claims of victories. These, however, are
of small importance, compared to the in
formation that the Turks are investing ,
Tyrnavos. J
Tvrnavosis about three leagues north-
west of Larissa and was depended upon
by the Greeks to seriously hamper any'
attempt that would be mado by the
Turks to approach Larissa. '
Immediately after their disastrous de-,
feat at Milouna pass the Greeks fell back
to Tyrnavos, but the Turks closely fol-j
lowed and began a vigorous cannonading i
of the position. Tyrnavos' fall will make ,
if nest to impossible for the Moslem ad
vance on the Greek miitary base at La-1
rissa to be stopped. Larissa is poorly
fortified, and it may become necessary
for the Greeks to precipitate a pitched
battle with the Turks on the plains that
lie between Larissa and the Macedonian
frontier. If such an event occurs it will
be the greatest military struggle in the
history ot the world.
A Greek force after a terrific battle,
has managed to get through to the plaine
of Dainasi, in Macedonia, meantime
bombarding and destroying the email j
village of Vigila, half a dozen Turkish
batteries, and killing over 200 Turks.
The Greek loss was light. About 300 j
Turks were taken prisoners at Viglia. i
Thepasb at Reveni, a few miles north-)
west of Tvrnavos. where there are as !
many as 40,000 Turks under the perosnal
Ecene of the fiercest fighting of the war.
This horde of Moslems, singing and
chanting war songs reaches from Reveni
toBoughese and for the past three days
has unremittingly endeavored to obtain
a free road to the Thessalian plains.
Twenty thousand Greeks.under direction
of Prince Conetantine have steadily
fought and struggled to keep back the
Mohammedan Etream and have thus far
succeeded.
On the Gulf of Arta the Greeks are
having things pretty much their own
way. The Turke at Arta attempted to
cross the river, despite the fire of the
Greek artillery. This was magnificently
handled, however, and the Moslems
were mowed down by the score, the river
being litterallv filled with the sultan's
soldiers. Staggering under their awful
defeat, the Turks retreated.
Colonel Mauos, in hie invasion of this
part of Epirus baa been very successful.
He has occupied Eeveral villages with
but Eltgut resistance, and has hastily
fortified them. There Is hardly any
serious obstacle to his advance north-
ard into Albania and toward Janina,
wtierea great battle may be fought

La Journal at Athens had an interview
with King George, of Greece, at the pal
ace yesterday. His majesty is quoted as
saying he lelieved to the last moment
peace would be maintained, and did his
utmost to bring about a pacific settle
ment of the matters in dispute. The
king denied that Greece commenced
hostilities against Turkey, and argued
that Turkey was not compelled to go
to war because of the incursion of a
insurgents whom nobodv could have
restrained. Continuing, Kiug George
said :
"The truth is we were attacked be
cause Turkey was ordered to attack us.
There never would have been war but
. m"BUB8 Mr
later, ah me powers are more or less
against us. If they wanted war thev
have got it. Such is the result of the
European concert.
'Europe must understand that after
forcing us to war there can be no ques
tion of limiting it. Our fleet is des
tined to take an important part, as will
eoon be learned. Greece understands
that she must either be victorious or
disappear. The war may be prolonged
and bloody, but it is now too late to stop.
A great crime has been committed
against right and humanity in the Cre
tan question, and the chastisement has
now commenced."
MVINJ3 liETKIUUTION.
S,rB"se Death ","n"esed s,urderer
Hollistek, Cal., April 21. ''May
God strike me dead if I am the mur
derer of Bernardino Aseeuro," cried
Joseph Ciscado in the courtroom here
yesterday. The last word had scarcely
left his lips when, with a shriek, he
toppled forward and fell to the floor.
The terrorized officers and the host of
spectators stood aghast for some mo
ments at what appeared to be a startling
manifestation of divine retribution.
Then Eeveral rushed over to the pros
trate man and sought to assist him from
the floor. There were no responses to
their orders or their efforts. Joseph
Ciecado was dead.
The man was a Portuguese, and had
been arrested on a charge of haying
murdered Aseuro, a Mexican rancher,
whose dead body was found last Satur
day morning in bis cabin in the Cleve
land district.

ing hope from the announcement that
three of the state board of prison direc
tors are about to petition Governor Budd
to commute the sentence. The directors
favoring such action arc said to be Hay
es, Fitzgerald and Depue.
N hue some believe Iiurrant did not
have a fair trial, it is believed com unit a
tion of his sentence would be followed
by an outburst of public indignation
Ex-Judge Murphy, who presided at the
trial of Durrani, denies that ho would
under any circumstauces sign a petition
for the commutation of the sentence
He believes Durrant guilty, and says he
had as fair and impartial a trial as was
ever given an accused murderer.

At S. Keithburg the river is now at

When a person is losing flesh and
wasting away there is cause for alarm.
Nothing so worries a physician. Con
sumptives would never die if they could
regain their usual weight. In fact there
would be no consumption if there was
no wasting of the system. The cause of
this loss of flesh is a failure to properly
digest the food eaten. Jsine-tentbs of
all of our diseases date back to some de
rangement of the stomach.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial will
stop this wasting of the body. It acts
by causing the food we eat to be digest
ed so as to do good, for undigested food
does more harm than good. The Cor
dial contains food already digested and
is a digester ot foods as well.
Laxol is the best medicine for chil
dren. Doctors recommend it in place of
Castor Oil.

pleased to leatn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a consti
tutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cjre is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood ttnd mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the foun
dation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building the con
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have no much

Sacuame.nto, April 21. Governor
Budd is absent from Sacramento today,
but his executive secretary eaya no ap
plication for Durrant's commutation of
sentence has yet been filed in the execu
tive office. The governor's' attaches do
not believe that he will interfere with
the carrying out of the death sentence
in the Durrant case.
Two years ago R. J. Warren, a drug
gist at Pleasant Brook, N. Y., bought a
small supply of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. He turns up the result as fol
lows : "At that time the goods were un
known in this section ; to-day Chamber
lain's Cough Kemedy is a household
word." It is the same in hundreds of
communities. Where ever tho good
