THE RUSSO.CHlNESE TREATY
Is Not an Agreement Between the Two
Governments
But Russia's Influence in the Orient Will
Be None the Less Cause for
English Jealousy.

LONDON, Dec. 25.-A Times dispatch
from st. Petersburg says: 1t is alleged
that the Russo Chinese treaty, which
recently caused so much comment, is not
between the two governments, but be-
tween the Chinese government and the
Russo Chinese bank. which was found
ed a year ago by the directors of the
Russian International bank. The treaty
is dated September s. The Russo-Chi-
nese bank formed the railway company,
which an imperial organization recently
sanctioned under the name of the East
ern Railway company, with capital of
1000, 900 roubles. to construct and work
railway from the western frontier of
Hei-Tung-Chiang to the eastern frontier
of Kirin, in Manchuria, to connect with
the branches of the Siberian railway, it
being also provided that the holders of
the shares must be either Russians or
Chinese.
The Russian government will fully
guarantee the capital and interests Of
further obligations to be issued as re-
quired, reserving to itses~'the right of
taking them upon payment to the COM
pany of price to be mutually agreed
upon.
The Russian minister of finance will
be complete master of the enterprises,
his approval being required for all ad
ministrative and technical appointments
and instructions.
China obtains nominal control by ap-
pointing the president. but the real chief
will be the vice president. who will be ap-
pointed by Russia. China may pur-
chase the railway after thirty-six years
or take possession without a payment at
the end of eighty years. Goods in tram
sit will be free of all Chinese taxes, and
Russian goods will be otherwise favored.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Oct. 9.-There is every
prospect of war in the near future in this
locality between Game Warden Helms and
the Portuguese and Italian residents of the
tule districts, as the latter make open declara-
ton, 1t is said, that they intend to kill game
for market. The Warden is stickler in seeing
that the law is strictly enforced, and bets are
even that Helms will come out on top. Doc
Reith, who has been spending "a month aield
in Oregon, has returned, delighted. He says
that pheasant shooting is great sport.
Baseball bids fair to loom up again in this
locality this fall, and it is reported that the

honors.

There is talk of great bluerock tournament

cations are that a small army of sportsmen

of the two universities an open question,
for no definite line of comparison can be

the relative strength of the "big FOUR

stored to joyful, contented state Of body
and mind by this same great nerve and
brain restorative.
Paine's celery compound is the reatest
achievement in modern medicine. It
banishes weakness and pain as surely as
its famous contemporary, the electric
light, dispels darkness.
Paine's celery compound frees the body
of vicious humors that cause kidney and
liver complaints. Only a great remedy
based on a deep knowledge of these
diseases could do the work that Paine's
celery compound is now doing. Better
nutrition for the nerves, an awakened
appetite, purified blood and complete as
similaiion-these follow the conscientious
use of Paine's celery compound as surely
as day follows night.
If you are alarmed by throbbing of the
heart an irritable stomach or general de-
bility, be fair with yourself, use the best
means there is, examine what Paine's
celery compound is doing. 1t has cured
an astonishing number ofmen and women
of Brights disease, rheumatism, neural
gia, heart and liver trouble. No sufferer
can pass lightly over the remarkable
record that Paine's celery compound has
| to show to every sick and aiiing person.
Among the thousands of testimonials
received this year is one recently sent by
Congressman John G. Bell of Colorado,
who says he has used three bottles of this
best of all remedies for dyspepsia and
rheumatism, with the most satisfactory
results. Among the testimonials received

There is just now no lack of news from
the Western States.
Public opinion in Colorado and Iowa is
as promptly and accurately heard of as
from any New England State.
From all over the West come reports
that Paine's celery compound occupies
practically clear field in the cure of
diseases arising from tired or otherwise
impaired nervous system.
No other remedy was ever used by so
many men of sound and reliable iudg-
ment. No remedy but Paine's celery COM
pound has ever been recommended by so
conspicuously fair minded a body of men
and women. The half-hearted experi-
mental efforts of scores and scores of sar-
saparillas, tonics and so-called nervines,
with which the market is constantly re-
cruited. are in startling contrast with the
confident-because thoroughly scientific
way in which Paine's celery compound
sets about restoring health and vigor to
the wornout body.
Why will people be silly enough to
jeopardize their lives and lessen their
chances of getting well by taking anything
else2
There is no help so sure and so imme.
diate as one gets from the use of Paine's
celery compound. Detailed information
of innurherable cases of rheumatism, neu-
ralgia and dyspepsia, completely cured
has established this great invigorator as
the most valuable rem edy those run down
in health can make use of.
