VOLCANIC DISASTER ON ISLAND OF JAVA "I was troubled for several years with chronic indigestion and nervous debility," writes F. J. Green, of Lancaster, N. H. "No remedy helped me until I began using Electric Bitters, which did me more good than all the medicines I ever used. They have also kept my wife in excellent health for years. She says Electric Bitters are just splendid for female troubles; that they are a grand tonic and Invigorator for weak, run down women. No other medicine can take its place In our family." Try them. Only 50c. Satisfaction guaranteed by W. C. Price, Farrer, Peck & Roberts, Plttston, and Stroh's Pharmacy, West Pittston, London, Feb. 5.—Diplomatic circles are waiting with suppressed anxiety for some official word from Tokio as ♦o how the Russian reply sent yesterday will be received. But little hope is expressed that the reply will prove favorable, and in all quarters it is admitted that but little chance exists of a peaceful outcome or even a longer continuation of the negotiations between St. Petersburg and Toklo. The Tokio correspondent of the Central News says it is Impossible to conceive of a more critical situation than that which exists in the Japanese capital The outlook Is most gloomy, as hope of peace has been entirely abandoned. He adds that the Japanese papers state that 20,000 Russian troops are already concentrated In the Yalu Valley, with the intention of seizing north, em Manchuria at the first sign of hostilities. It is reported that the Russian lieet, which sailed Wednesday, lias rQ-' turned. The vessels, however, did not re-enter the harbor. This is considered significant, as indicating that the Russian officials mean to keep the ships in full preparation to sail at a moment's notice. Large New Jury Wheel Was Used for the First Time. Jury Commissioners Kelly and Wintie drew jurors today for the weeks beginning March 7 and 14. Among those drawn were: 3amuel Davis and H. C. Hunt, of this city; A.

The now jury wheel was used for the first tinje, the names having been transferred from the old one. The new wheel is four times r.s large as the old one and will hold 8,000 Bread is The Staff of Life An Entire Town Swallowed Up and In spite of the statements of the physicians It is generally believed that Senator Hanna is in a precarious condition. It is clear that the crisis in his illness has not been reached, and the best that can be held out to his friends is that if he recovers he will be compelled to abstain from business and other activity for some time to come. Hundred* of People Were Killed. The better the flour, the be ter the * bread; the better the bread, the stronger the staff. The brands we carry make the whitest, lightest bread. London, Feb. 5.—A dispatch to Dalziel's news agency from Amsterdam states that a cable has been received there from the Island of Java reporting a fatal volcanic eruption on the island. An entire town was swallowed up in the lava flow and hundreds were killed. It was at first feared-that the senator was going to develop symptoms of Bright's disease or that his heart weakness might add to the complications of his illness.

IKTM $r. iiiter •••« The feeling in the higher circles continues to be that Russia has offered substantial concessions, but that she has not met Japan's wishes regarding Manchuria or agreed to Japanese fortifications in southern Korea. The transfer of Mrs. Maybrick from a penal prison to a quiet country home constitutes ait almost unprecedented action on the part of the authorities. It was due to the mediation of Adeline Marie, duchess of Bedford, who as a visitor to Aylesbury prison for many years has taken a keen personal Interest in Mrs. Maybrick and finally succeeded in obtaining the mitigation of her punishment to the extent of being allowed to spend the last six months of her confinement outside the prison walls. T. A. DURKIN. 45 S. Main St Both 'phones. Gas Globes H. G. SHUPP, It is intimated in certain unofficial quarters that if Japan should offer a counter proposal that Russia guarantee China's Manchurlan treaties, irrespective of the ultimate sovereignty of the province, there might be a chance of reaching such a compromise. Senator Hanna is very hopeful. While he realizes that be Is a sick man and approves of every step that is being taken, he is by no means affected by the great mental depression which usually acoompanles attacks of the grip and complications which follow it. 12c and upwards General Clearing Sale at The Magnet Electric Shades 36 West Market Street.

But little hope is expressed that the reply will prove favorable, and in all quarters it is admitted that but little chance exists of a peaceful outcome or even a longer continuation of the negotiations between St. Petersburg and Toklo. The Tokio correspondent of the Central News says it is Impossible to conceive of a more critical situation than that which exists in the Japanese capital The outlook Is most gloomy, as hope of peace has been entirely abandoned. He adds that the Japanese papers state that 20,000 Russian troops are already concentrated In the Yalu Valley, with the intention of seizing north, em Manchuria at the first sign of hostilities. It is reported that the Russian lieet, which sailed Wednesday, lias rQ-' turned. The vessels, however, did not re-enter the harbor.

It was due to the mediation of Adeline Marie, duchess of Bedford, who as a visitor to Aylesbury prison for many years has taken a keen personal Interest in Mrs. Maybrick and finally succeeded in obtaining the mitigation of her punishment to the extent of being allowed to spend the last six months of her confinement outside the prison walls.
