TAKE YOUR CHOICE.
Just take your choice. An attack of Fever,
with Quinine as the treatment means a
week or ten >days lost from Business,
It means ten days of unhappiness for you
and ten days of hard work and anxiety for
those who love you. If you are a poor man,
your time is worth much to your family.
The rich man might better afford |toJ'suffer
a' loss of of $100.00 a • day, as a result from
enforced sbsence from business, than the
poor man can lose the value of his" labor.
Johnson’s Tonic has two cardinal points that
should immediately commend it to every
thinking man in this country.
First of all, it is harmless. Absolutely
harmless. Harmless under all circum
stances.
Second it is quick; jit acts at once. 1 In 30
minutes after its administration, it enters
the blood and begins to undo the mischief
caused by Malaria. It is the one great (med
icine that never disappoints. Now take
your choice. Lie in bed for days, or maybe
weeks; and poison your digestion with Qui
nine, and arise finally with all the life and
vim taken out of you, or use Johnson’s Tonic
and be restored at once to perfect health.
No loss of vital force, No loss of flesh, No
waste of precious time. Take your choice.

At Hlflh Elevation the British Engage
1,800 Tlbetane In Battle—Tibetan*
Had Entrenched Themselvee Behind
Wall and Reaisted Advance.
New York, May 9.—Detail sof the
battle of May 6 between the British
expedition and natives of Thibet rat
counted In a dispatch from the Times'
correspondent at Maro past, Thibet,
show that the action took place 16,000
feet above sea level.
It was the outcome of an attack on
Colonel Younghuaband and his eacort
at ea/ly dawn on Thursday by 800
men from Dong Tael. The attacking
force arrived at Gyang Tse at mid
night, the approach being with the ut
most secrecy.
The garrison, under command of
Major Murray, behaved with great gal
•entry and beat off the attack sue
cessfully, although the pick of' the
men and nearly all the senior officers
had been taken for an expedition to
Karola.
When Colonel Brandos, with his
rifles camped on the pass Thursday
night, 1,600 Tibetans were holding a
wall 3 miles ahead. Their position
was well flanked and elaborate prepa
rations had been made for the hurling
down of rocks from both sides of the
gorge. Seven hundred of the men
were from Kama and the remainder
from L’Hassa, and this locality. The
enemy, after obstinate resistance, was
cleared-from the wall. Two Sangars.
well defended, held back the advance
two and a halt hours, during most ol
which time a pelting hailstorm was In
progress. The general plan of attack
was an outflanking movement by one
company of Ghurkhas and a direct at
tack of pioneers. Ultimately It was
found necessary to detach a force ot
pioneers to scale a precipice 1,200 feet
high.
The gallantry of both the Sikhs and
the pioneers on both flanks was con
splcuous, as the resistance was stub
born until the flanks were turned.
When that occurred the entire Tibetan
force fled from the wall.'
Tha casualties of the Tibetans
during the actual fight were about
75 and probably as many again were
lost during fbe ( pursult by the mount
ed Infantry who have not returned.
Captain Bethunc, who was among the
five British killed, fell while leading
his men to the attack on the wall
The construction of the wall and
the choice of the spot where it was
built reflect credit on the Tibetans, so 1
much so that Its abandonment must
have been due to sheer cowardice, as
it would have been almost Impossible
to take It by frontal attack, .the ene
my largely using L’Hassa made rifles

The woman who
neglects her health
is neglecting the

RUSSIANS RETREAT,

--I — "
Severe Engagemc&t Occurs to
South of Liao-Taug.
EVACUATION OF NEW CHWANG
Retreating Russians Are Overtaken
by Division of Flrat Japanese Army
Corpa—After Battle the Russians
Fled to the North.
Shan Hal Kwan, May 10.—9 p.
—It Is reported that the flrat Japanese
army corps, having followed the Rus
sians retreating from the Yalu river,
overtook them 20 miles south of Lioa
Yang yesterday and a severe engage
mont ensued.
The Japanese dragged their guns
up hills believed to be (insurmounta
ble. The Russians thereupon con
tinued to retreat north.
A dlvlstcfti of the first corps Is ap
proaching New Chwang, which Is now
garrisoned by a handful of Russians.
Japanese scouts have been seen
miles from New Chwang.
Nineteen women were the last civil
ians to leave New Chwang for Shan
Hal Kwan. They arrived hero tonight
and confirmed the reports of the evac
uation of New Chwang.
St. Petersburg, May 10.—2:15 p. m.
—Although It Is hardly credited here
(as-it is shown that General Kuropat-
kin Is withdrawing his advance posts
along the Manchurian Litteral oa the
I.lao Yang) It Is announced this morn
ing from Mukden that the railroad be
tween Port Arthur and Liao Yang has
been repaired and is working.
Hal Cheng, north of New Chwang,
Is already reported to have been evac
uated, but there Is nothing official on
this point. The Russian garrison still
remains at New Chwang, but the aban
donment of that place Is only con
sidered fo bo a question of days.
The army organ assumes that the
Russians are retiring on Liao Lang,
leaving “temporarily” the defense ot
Port Arthur to the naval squadron
ami garrison. The organ also as
sumes that the Japaneso have already
landed at Taku Shan., west of the Yalu
river, thus assuring a Junction between
KufoTtl’s itrmy and the Japanese
forces on the peninsula. The army
organ thinks the ^orce disembarked
at Taku Shan Is probably part of the
third army*“concerning the mobiliza
tion of which the Japanese have so
sedulously spread misleading reports.”
It commends the retirement from Feng
Wang Cheng, which it considers to.be
one of strategetlcal Importance. There
is absence of official Information. The
authorities are as silent as the grave
concerning General Kuropatkln’s
plans, only declaring that his tactics
will be vindicated.
Tne report or the appearance of the
enemy at Kwan Tien Slen on the Muk
den road from the Yalu causes some
disquietude. The report Is three
days old. Only small detachments
of infantry and cavalry then appeared,
but It Is possible that they were a
band of skirmishers of General Kuro-
kl’s fourth division, who were sent
northward to protect the Japanese
right flahk. If the Japanese could
get on this road, above Liao Yang, the
Russian position there would be
threatened. The papers here seem
more concerned about the effect of the
Japanese succsses upon the Chinese
than about tho ultimate result of the
campaign. The Russ, reviewing the
ar to date, says:
“The fears expressed as to the ef
fect, even of the temporary successes
the Japaneso upon tho Asiatics,
nro more genera! and are beginning to
seriously alarm many of the leaders
European politics, who dread fur
ther complications. Moderation and
caution are the principal orders o,' tl;
day for all European governments.
The bourse Gazette remarks:
“It Is not given us to know how
long the night will last, but we know
the morning will come. »nis Is not
only a quertlon of the Far East, but
our position In Asia and in the
world. Our great development since
the Crimean war Is net to be destroy
ed by tho Japanese army penetrating
into Manchuria.”
The admiralty declares positively
that the report of the destruction ot
the armored cruiser Rurlk Is false.

which Mr. Wentz was general mana
ger, have gone to the place. They

cient state of preservation to disclose

ing cow«, lying on the side of the
mountain, about a quarter of a mile
oft the trail, at a point which was

14, 1903,
Two days after the disappeardneo of
Wentz the tidings were communicated

Wentz, of Philadelphia. The paTenta
hastened to the scene on a special
train. Daniel B. Wentz, a brother,
became almost frantic and In a day
or tivo a thousand meu wore scouring

that ha was either kidnaped for a
larga ransom or murdered by moun
taineeis and his body concealed. A
few days afterwards a reward of $25,-
000 was offered far the recovery ot
Wentz, dead or alive.
It was subsequently Increased to
