AGAINST PREJUDICE.

good things" Not the least of those of which it deprives some of us Is the aid of the most valuable medicines, upon which we look with suspicion, simply because they are proprle- tary preparations. Yet. in certain cases, those medicines are the perfected results of the highest scientific knowledge. There is Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, put up in accordance with prescription that is employed with unbounded success. There is actually nothing so good to restore the disor- dered organs to health and to purify the blood. This has been proved in thousands of cases. The person who would hesitate to use Favorite Remedy because 1t is proprie- tary medicine, would be foolish.

"It is remarkable how your trip abroad has improved you"
 "It is the use of the Carlsbad Waters that has improved me, more than my trip abroad. I have gained in flesh and strength since I used them. Many per sons use them for reducing flesh, because the waters remove all unhealthy tissues and supera- bundance of fat, but they also build up firm and solid flesh, which is sign of perfect health. I also use the Carlsbad Sprudel Salt early in the morning with a glass full of water. It increases the laxative action of the same. If you ever suffer from chronic catarrh of the stomach, bilious ness, gout or rheumatism, l ad wise you to use them. Every druggist has them.

CHINA'S PEACE ENVOY.
Ii Hung Ohang's Powers Believed
to be Complete.
NOW EN- ROUTE FOR HIROSHIMA.

Ee us Accompanied by Hon. John W. .Fo-ter,
the American Adviser of the Chinese.
Tho viceroy yindioated Before the Privy
Council.
LONDON, March 6.-Dispatches from
Pokin confirm previous dispatches outlin-
ing tho success of Ii Hung Chang at tho
Chinese capital. They say that after ted
ious telegraphing, through United States
Minister Churles DENLY, tho text of LII
Hung Chang's credentials as peace envoy
have been accepted by Japan.
Ii Hung Chang was given an audience
by the dowager empress of China on Mon
day, In tho presence of the privy council,
who heartily supported the mission upon
which the viceroy is isengaged. Prince Kung,
president OF the Chinese foreign Office and
uncle of the emperor OF China, silenced all
opposition by presenting papers showing
that the failure Of the Chinese to repulse
the Japanese was due to the backward
I Ilicy for which they themselves were to
blame, and exonerating Lii Hung Chang,
who spoke frankly about the condition Of
the empire.
The powers Of Ii Hung Chang to nego-
tiate for peace are believed to be complete.
and the actual commission being signed
he left Pckin yesterday for Tientsin where
the Japanese require him to tranship for
Hiroshima. Mr.. John w. Foster, the
American adviser of the Chinese Joined
the viceroy yesterday.
Under date of Tientsln The Times pub
hshes dispatch saying that disturbances
are increasing. Ono of the Chinese gen
erals in the Shan Tung province was be-
headed by his soldiers for attempting to
suppress pillage. Similar troubles are re-
ported at Hanan and Liao Yang, near
Moukden, which is probably taken.
A dispatch from Shanghai says that the
Japanese declare positively that they do
not intend to block the Gulf of Pechili.
The captured Chinese warshlps have ar
rived at Yokohama, and the reports of the
Japanese commanders are favorable to tho
raising of the sunken war vessels of China
at Wei -Hai-Wei.
The Japanese have abandoned the Shan
tung peninsula, including Wei Hai-Wei,
after destroying the Notifications at tho
lattor place
John Wilde, alias Howie, the American
who planned to blow up Japanese war
ships in u novel manner, and who was
captured at Wei-ITai, Wei after having
previously been released on parole, has
been taken to Japan for trial.
