ing or Unable to Suppress
the Disorders.

and Work on the Han kow

WASHINGTON, June 5.-The follow.
ing cablegram has been received at the

"Pekin, June 4.-Outside Pekin the
murders and prosecutions by the Box
ers' seem to be on the increase. The

abandoned. Work on Pekin and Han
How line is stopped. All foreigners
have fed. The Chinese government
seems either unwilling or unable to
suppress the trouble. The troops show
no energy in attacking the Boxers
Grave as these advices are they have
not induced the state department to
vary the line Of action it has laid down.
The naval force Of the United States
near Pekin, now represented by one
vessel, the Newark, has not been
strengthened, but il occasion should
arise Admiral Kempff might be REIN
forced to almost any extent likely to be
needed in the course Of three or four
days from the numerous American feet

WASHINGTON, June 5.-lnformation

effect that the Russian minister OF ma.
rine has taken measures to increase the

is supposition in some circles that the
orders given have reference to interna-

programme Of fleets in foreign waters
has undergone no change shows that
the Russian government simply desires

may arise.

MODERN SLAVERY
Caused oy Weak, Exhausted Stomachs. 4
Almost Uoiversal.

You, reader, would not permit your
neighbor to call you out of bed at mid
night and oblige you to walk the pave
ment for two or three hours every
night. You would not allow him to
burn your hand wilfully, nor to cut
your finger of, just to please him.
Why, then, do you allow your stomach
to cause you loss of sleep, nightmare.
and continual suffering? Every dys-
peptic, every sufferer from indigestion,
biliousness, heartburn, waterbrash,
catarrh of the stomach and other stom-
ach diseases. is a slave to his or her
stomach. There is one way-only one
of breaking the chains of this slav-
cry. That is by using Dodd's Dyspep-
sia Tablets.
These digest the food you have eaten.
They don't need aid from the stomach,
which is therefore given time to rest
and gain strength. They regulate the
bowels, which carry off the waste por-
tion of tie food not used in making
blood. Thus the stomach is emptied
and prepared to receive the next meal.
No foul gas can form in the stomach
if you use Dodd's Dyspepsia Tablets,
for the food is digested by them at
once and does not remain in the stoia'
ach to rot and cause disease.

Contracts Void IL BRYAN wins.

1t has not been an unusual circum-
stance recently where important bust
ness contracts have been entered into
for the documents to contain this
clause:
This contract to be null and void In
case of the election of William Jen-
nings Bryan as president of the United
States"
In the consideration Of business
plans for the future capitalists and
business men are leaving as little as
possible to risk.
The Nazareth Portland Cement COM
pany OF Nazareth, Pa, furnishes a case
in point. The company, which has a
Pennsylvania charter, is about years
old and has been selling cement for
about Il year. 1t was one of the first
companies to establish itself in the
now noted Nazareth region and is one
Of the largest producers, its present
output amounting to about 1000 bar
rels daily. 1t is their plan to build a
new plant that will triple or quadruple
the output ana employ 500 men instead
of 100. The plan, however, will be
abandoned should Mckinley fail of
election.
Instead of charging our plant"
said George Cotfing Warner, attorney
for The new controlling interests. I'VE
W0uid calculate upon buying up the
plants Of smaller concerns that would
20 bankrupt in the event Of Bryan's
election Ihc demand for cement is
fairly good, but tile business will 90 to
smash unless Mckinley Is elected. The
reason is that Il great many new build
ings ana new enterprises that are pro

condition Of McKnlcy's reelection.
/ The orders in general business, as we'll
as in the building trade. are being
conditioned upon Republican success
at the polls.
| II have friend, the head Of a cor
| poratton owning a textile mill in this
section of the country, who is going to
build new mill to double the capacity
| OF his concern mt Il cost of $1,000, 900.
His engineers have been working for a
year on the matter, and the plans and
specifications are all drawn. The cor
poration employs about 1000 men,
and with the completion of this new
mill will employ 1000 If Mckinley is
not elected, this project will be aban.
doned, and they will make up their
minds to get on with the old mill"
