FROM FIVE CONTINENTS
Messages of Sympathy to the
Family of Bismarck.
OF IMPERlSHABLE MEMORY
Prince Herbert Says 1t Is Impossible to
Thank the Mourners singly-The

Postponed.

Hamburg. Aug. 3.-The Hamburg

statement signed by Prince Herbert
Bismarck: The numerous expressions
of deep amiction and cordial sympathy
which testify to the imperishable men,
DRY Of my great father are becoming
so overwhelming in their extent that it
appears impossible to thank the

own life.
From all five continents of the globe
the sorrow of the family bowed over the
coffin is re-echoed in touching SYM

to answer every manifestation Of this
feeling. l beg the German newspapers
to grant space for these words:
In the name of the nearest relatives,

by words of comfort or floral tributes
from those whom we have never seen,
have given expression to the spirit of
sorrow which fills our land"

San Francisco, Aug. 3.-News of an
impending revolution in China is fur

American Steam Navigation company.
who arrived on the steamer Doric.
He fears a violent outbreak among
the hordes of Chinese in both the north

that great loss of life and destruction
of property will result. The mission

TIL DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided in Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
frequently from a mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says woman must suffer-"
and young women are SO taught.
There is a little truth and a great deal
of exaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate TO take their
daughters to a physician for examine
ton; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.
The following letterfr ron Miss MARIE
F. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa, shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her:
.sMy health became so poor that I
had to leave school. / was tired all the
time, and had dreadful pains in my
side and back. I was also troubled
with ~irregularity of menses. l was
very weak, and lost so much flesh that
my friends became alarmed. Ny
mother, who is a firm believer in your
remedies from experience, thoughtper-
haps they might benefit me, and wrote
o for advice. I followed the advice
Won gave, and used Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as
you directed, and am now as well as I
ever was. / have gained flesh and have
q good color. I am completely cured Of
irregularity."

THE RATE WAR HEARING
McNicoll of the Canadian Pacific
Presents His Case.
TRIED TO RESTORE PEACE
Vice President Cloueh OF the Great North
ern Gave the Political and Economic
Side of the Question-Legisla-
ton Is Needed.

Chicago. Aug. 3.-Traffc Manager Nc
Nicoll. of the Canadian Pacific railway.
concluded his direct statement before the
interstate commission to-day in
regard to the rate war between the Ca
madam Pacific railway and the American
lines.
Mr.. McNicoll. in his closing remarks,
told of his efforts to restore peace with
the American companies. and how his eff
forts were thwarted by the refusal of the
companies to discuss the question of diff
ferentials. He insisted that the American
lines had refused to accept suggestions
and had said that the Canadian Pacific
must agree to all of their terms.
Mr.. Justice. general passenger agent of
the c., b.. q O., he said, had told them
that there would be legislation against
the Canadian Pacific, and that congress
would have legislated last session IL the
subject had not been ~overshadowed by the
Cuban crisis. Mr.. McNicoll said that he
did not take much notice of these re-
marks, as Mr.. Eustice did not represent
the American people. He denied that the
interstate traffic enjoyed by the Canadian
Pacific amounted to 10000 900. While there
were no statistics for passenger traffic,
the freight traffic amounted to only 81, 30O,-
900 a year. On the other hand the Cana
dian Pacific had bought supplies from the
United States to the amount of S,0o0,0o0
yearly.
The feature OF the afternoon session
was supplied by Vice President Clough of
the Great Northern railroad. who present.
ed the political and economic side of the
controversy to the committee. In begin
ming his address he said IL would be the
duty of the commission to make recon-
mendations to congress in order that Leg
islation with regard to railways could be
altered. He said that the Canadian Pa
cific railroad had tapped all the important
traffic centers in the United States and
it's policy was to haul freight from one
American point to another at rates which
the American lines refused to accept. He
contended that the exceptional circum-
stances of the case called for exceptional
legislation. The statistics of the customs
department showed, he said, that the
freight traffic diverted to the Canadian
Pacific amounted to nearly or quite TO-
000,0 900 tons every year and represented a
loss to the earnings of the American
roads of not less than $40, 900. 900 to s25, 000,-
900 every IL months. Every time the for
eign road diverted from the American
lines s21, 600, 900 of traffic, Mr.. Clough con-
tended, it took s14, 900, 600 directly from the
pockets of the American workingmen.
The hearing will be resumed tomorrow.

A RICH HAUL MADE.
A Sedaiia Bank the Victim of a Sneak
Thief,

hIt
Sedalia. Mo-, Aug. 3.-The Bank of Com
merce was the victim of a sneak thief at
the noon hour Monday and it is almost
certain a rich haul was made, although
President j. j. Yeater and Cashier Adam
Ittel refuse to divulge the amount of the
loss. While neither Mr.. Yeater or Ittel
were at the cashiers window the thief,
making his way through a side door into
the directors room in the rear of the
bank, then stepped inside of the railing.
from where he took only a couple of steps
into the bank vault, where he helped
himself.
1t was two or three hours before the
theft was discovered, and not until yes
terday was the case placed in the hands
Of Manager Hurst of a detective agency
of Kansas City. Hurst came to Sedalia
from the train and at his suggestion Chief
of Police Prentice at once arrested John
Names, an advertising solicitor of Terre
Haute Ind, who had been in the bank
at about the noon hour Monday Solicit
ing an advertisement for a railway publi-
cation. He is being held pending an in
~vestigation.
The job was undoubtedly the work of
an expert and the officials declare that
whoever got the money had an accom-
plice. the latter engaging the attention
of the cashier while the other robbed the
bank.

A Young Deer Hunters shot

From the San Francisco Examiner.
One of the most remarkable shots on rec
ord has been made by the twelve-year- old
boy of San Bernardino, who shot and in
stantly killed good-sized deer with a
twenty-two-calibre rifle. The record is like
ly to stand some time before being broken.
And it wasn't mere chance shot either.
The young man, whose name is Lee Thorn
as, was camped with his parents at Straw
berry Peak, one of the picturesque points
of the San Bernandino Mountains. With
some boy friends the youthful Nimrod
went out for a ramhle. He took his repeat
ing rifle along "just for fun" While pro-
ceeding down gully the boys heard some
animals cracking the brush below, and,
standing still to await developments, three
deer burst into view. Quick as a flash, with
the instinct of a. huntsman, Thomas
brought the gun to his shoulder and pumped
five bullets at the monarchs of the glen be-
fore they located the sound. But the last
bullet proved effective, hitting deer in
about the only vulnerable spot for so small
a charge-the eye. The young man will al
ways treasure the trophies of his youthful
but remarkable feat

l3elgium's Gas Iiili

The Belgians are a frugal race. II you
doubt it, here is the proof
a few days ago the government resolved
to introduce a uniform standard OF time.
In the western part of the country the
clocks were put back twenty minutes to
conform with the facts.
Every Belgian peasant goes to bed at
D. M, if not sooner. Under the new time
style he went to bed at 9 p. m. by the
clock, which was really 800 p. m. old style
Consequently lie sat up twenty minutes
later than before and got up twenty min
utes earlier-that is, by actual sun time
But sitting up twenty minutes later in
volved a larger consumption of gas and
the nations gas bill increased 81 900 900 an
nualy, to the great delight of the gas com =.
panies, which had secretly lobbed for the
new time standard The peasant soon
found out that the time standard raised his
gas bill.
He could not change his hour of going
to bed, because that was a family habit
that had been in force for generations; so
he began to agitate for the repeal of the
new system.
1t was shown during the campaign that
the new plan cost 81 100000 in gas annually
and had no sense or meaning in it what
ever. There was never any doubt as to
it's fate after the frugal peasant went on
the warpath for its scalp, and 1t has been
repealed.
The gas companies are going to try and
have the thing revived, even if they have
to get the law sneaked into a piece of leg
islation dealing with river and harbor i'm
provements.
