Japanese CoiR^ri^f Demanded Russian Men-of-
War to Leave the Harbor and a Battle Fol-
lowed—No Damage to Japanese.
ST. PETERSBURG, FEB. 10.—THE CZAR OF RUSSIA THIS MORN-
ING DECLARED WAR ON JAPAN IN THE FOLLOWING WORDS:
"TO ALL MY DEAR SUBJECTS:
"I DECLARE WE ARE ANXIOUS TO PRESERVE PEACE WHICH IS
SO DEAR TO OUR HEARTS, AND HAVE USED ALL OUR POWER TO
MAINTAIN TRANQUILITY IN THE FAR EAST. WITH THESE PEACE-
FUL AIMS WE DECLARED OUR READINESS TO REVISE THE EXIST-
ING TREATY BETWEEN THE TWO EMPIRES REGARDING KOREAN
AFFAIRS. THE NEGOTIATIONS, HOWEVER, WERE NOT CARRIED TO
A CONCLUSION. JAPAN, WITHOUT AWAITING RECEIPT OF OUR RE-
PLY, BROKE OFF DIPLOMATIC NEGOTIATIONS WITHOUT CONSIDER-
ING WHETHER SUCH A RUPTURE MEANT THE COMMENCEMENT
OF WARLIKE ACTION.
THE JAPANESE GOVERNMENT ORDERED HER TORPEDO BOATS
TO SUDDENLY ATTACK OUR SQUADRON AT PORT ARTHUR. WE
HAVE ORDERED OUR GOVERNOR TO REPLY TO ARM3. WE HERE-
BY MAKE KNOWN OUR DECISION IN THE FIRM TRUST AND HELP
OF THE ALMIGHTY AND IN THE ASSURANCE OF THE UNANIMOUS
READINESS OF OUR TRUE SUBJECTS TO STAND WITH U8 IN
THE DEFENSE OF OUR FATHERLAND. WE CALL THE BLESSING OF
THE LORD UPON OUR BRAVE ARMY AND FLEET."
("Signed,) NICHOLAS."
RUSSIANS LOSE IN BIG NAVAL BATTLE.
London, Feb. 10.—The Japanese embassy has received a dispatch saying
the Japanese squadron escorting troops to Korea, near Chemulpo, met the
Russian gunboat, Koretz, which threatened the transports and fired on the
Japanese torpedo boats which replied with torpedoes.. The Koretz then
returned to Chemulpo.
Early next morning Admiral Iriu, the Japanese commander, formally
demanded the Russian men-of-war to leave the port, saying, otherwise he
would attack them in the harbor.
They came out and a battle began outside near the Polynesian Islands.
Within an hour the Russians sought refuge among the islands and towards
evening the Variag sank. About 4 p. m., February 8, the Koretz blew up,
probably by her own crew. The officers and crews of both vessels took ref-
uge on the French ceuiser Pascal. '
There were no casualties on the Japanese side.
JAPANESE LAID PLANS.
London, Feb. 10.—Baron Hayashat,
Japanese minister, said: "As we were
slow in negotiating so are we quick in
action. The engagements at "Port Ar-
thur and Chemulpo are merely in ac-
cordance with long matured plans.
The Japanese will be able to attack
the fleet under the land batteries at
Port Arthur by approaching from the
Chinese side and dropping shells at a
high angle into the closely massed
Russian vessels. The Japanese hope to
drive AlexiefFs fleet out. The utter
uselessness of Port Arthur from a
strategic view is now apparent."
SOLDIERS CAPTURED.
London, Feb. 10.—The Tokio corre-
spondent of thi Central News says
three Russian transports were cap-
tured off Asan, Kroea. They had two
thousand soldiers aboard.
FIRST LAND BATTLE,
Chee Foo, China, Feb. 10.—News of
the first big land battle is expected to
come from the neighborhood of Ping
Yang, Korea. Russian land forces are
supposed to have been massed in that
district, while the Japanese are
thought to be marching in that direc-
tion from the south.
JAPS REPORTED ROUTED.
Vladivostock, Feb. 10.—Private ad-
vices have been received that the Jap-
anese forces were routed by the Rus-
sians on the Yalu river and that Rus-
sian soldiers and marines have occu-
pied Chemulpo.

+ fleers, and this afternoon the +
+ sheriff's department was greatly +
+ surprised when he walked into

Sherman Citizens Gladly
Testify.
It is testimony like the following
that has placed "the old Quaker reme-
dy" so f&r above competitors. When
people right here at home raise their
voice in praise there is no room left
tor doubt. Read the public state-
ment of a Sherman citizen:
Mrs. N. F. Shaw, residing at north
edge of town, on Travis St., says:
"Doan's Kidney Pills are without
doubt the ijest kidney remedy I ever

SURE INDICATIONS
OF BAD BLOOD
OLD SORES, ULCERS, ABSCESSES
The best evidence of a bad condition of the blood and unhealthy state of
the system, is an old festering sore, running ulcer, or abscess. They show
the bodily impurities are not passing out through the proper channels, but
are left in the system to clog and poison the blood. So thoroughly does
the poison permeate the system that every little scratch, cut or bruise
inflames and festers. Everything about an old sore or ulcer sujnjests disease.
They affect the general health, they
require constant attention, and are a
source of anxiety and trouble all the
time, and in some cases highly offen-
sive. There is danger, too, of these
places becoming cancerous if not
treated promptly and in the right
way. Washes, salves and ointments
are good for external use, but they
can't stop the discharge or change
the condition of the blood, and for
this reason the sore never heals per-
manently.
Not until the blood is purged of
impurities and the system cleansed
of all harmful substances should the
ulcer heal, or the effect upon the sys-
tem might prove disastrous. S. S. S.
goes into the circulation and searches
out and removes the cause of the
old sore and invigorates and builds
up the polluted, sluggish blood
again, and a3 the poisonous matter
is driven from the system the sore
begins to heal, new flesh forms and
the place is soon covered over with
fresh skin and the sore is gone for all time. <^Vrh

VBOM CALF OF THE LEG TO ATMTTT.1B
A SOLID SORE.
New Castle, Pa., July 29, 1903.
Three years ago a common boil ap-
peared on the calf of my limb. Wot yield-
ing to simple home remedies, I consulted
a physician, who prescribed a poultice,
®** «eed, supposedly. By some fearful
mistake I waa given corrosive subli-
mate, and after having it on for a few
minutes I could endure the pain no
longer, so took off the application and
found that my limb from the calf to the
ankle waa in an awful condition. I im-
mediately sent for another physician,
who told me I had been poisoned. My
limb from the calf to the ankle was one
solid inflamed sore. I was advised to
begin 8. S. S., and improved rapidly
under its use, but about this time I had
an attack of typhoid fever, and this set-
tled in the original sore. This, of course,
caused a back set, but having confidence
in the ability of B. S. S., I began it again
as soon as I was over the fever, and to
make a long story short, was completely
and permanently cured. Two years have
elapsed, and I have never had a return of
the trouble. MRS. K. A. DUFFY,
