"JUSTICE FOR CHINA"
DR.. Martin Scores the Chinese Author
tiles Quite Severely.

New York, Nov. 19.-Dr w. A. p.
Martin, president Of the Imperial Uni
versity in Pekin Sunday gave out an
open letter, the caption of which is
Justice to China" which he calls the
question of the hour for the whole
world. DR.. Martin takes exception to
some recently printed newspaper arti
cles which advise moderation in the
treatment of the Chinese. He says in
effect, if the ruling powers in China
were of Chinese strain there might be
some excuse for moderation but he
calls the empress dowager "a Tartar
usurper who follows the traditions of
the grand Khan and treats ambassa-
dors with contumely."
AS to the plea that China be treated
as a self-respecting power, DR.. Martin
asks:
What kind of self respect was it
for the empress dowager on the 10Th
of June, before Baron Ketteler was
killed, to send a secret edict to all her
viceroys, exterminate the foreigners,
kill the native Christians what sort
of self respect was shown by Prince
Tuan. father of the heir apparent in
making himself the patron of a body of
cutthroats? What self respect was
shown by Prince Chuang as military
governor in setting price on the
heads of foreigners-'siXty taels for
the head Of man, fifty taels for the
head of a woman and thirty for the
head of a child?"
DR.. Martin further says: "The read.
lest road to peace and order is the res
toration of the young emperor. AS for
his tyrannical aunt, and all her blood
stained clique, no penalty can be too
severe to infict on them. When the
dowager and Prince Tuan put to death
four ministers in the foreign board for
the crime of pleading for peace. are
the allies too severe if they insist on
the exile of the one and the execution
of the other?"
The doctor closed by contending
that six hundred millions is not toe
much for China to pay.

Attempted Lynching.

Chicago, Nov. 21.-A mob composed
of men and women fought twenty po
licemen Tuesday night in an attempt
to lynch Harry Evans, colored, arrest.
ed on a charge of assaulting 7-year-old
Freda Guendal Hundreds of persons
who had gathered around the home OF
the little girl whose death was feared,
were greatly excited when Evans, who
had been captured an hour before, was
brought before his victim for identifi.
cation. The two officers who had
charge of the negro, after free use OF
their clubs on the maddened crowd,
finally managed to shove Evans into
the house where the little girl identi.
fed him as her assailant. When the
mob outside learned that Evans had
been identified by his victim they be.
came frenZied and made another rush
for him. In the meantime, however, a
riot call had been sent in and a wagon
load of bluecoats appeared on the

crowd from overpowering the officers
and securing the negro. After fierce
struggle in which a score of people
were more or less injured, the police
succeeded in dispensing the mob and
landed Evans safely in jail.

SUFFERING INDIANS
Crops Nearly a Failure and Smallpox
Raging Among Them.

Washington, Nov. 21.-Indian Agent
Getchell of the DEVILS Lake agency
FIT Totten, n. D., has reported to the
interior department on the second out
break of smallpox at and near Rolla
n. D., and the destitution of the In
dians in that section. The agent went
to Rolla on the 10th inst. and found
five cases of smallpox. He alleges
that two priests stationed on that res
ervation and at ST. Johns, near Rollo
told the people that the disease was
not smallpox. Notwithstanding re-
quests from the agency authorities not
to hold church services on account OF
the quarantine, one of the priests ig.
nored the communications and not
only held regular services but also Gel
ebrated a public marriage. Both the
groom and bride were later taken tc
the pest house. To maintain a quaran
tine, the agent reports, would require
a portion of the regular army in addi.
tion to the police force in view of the
peoples confidence in the priests
medical knowledge. The condition OF
the people, according to the report, is
bad. The crops are nearly failure
and the people have been prevented by
the quarantine from doing the usual
work from which to get their supplies
Sixty thousand pounds of pork, and
large rations of beans, coffee, tea, rice
ETC., are asked to be sent at once.

To Consider Chinese immigration

Washington, Nov. 21.-Commission
er Powderly of the immigration bureau
will give a hearing about the last OF
this month to committee of the labor
organizations of New York headed by
the Knights of Labor on Chinese immi
grafton. The committee also repre-
sents nearly all the labor organiza'
tions on the Pacific coast. The object
of the organizations is to suggest a
cooperation of the immigration bu
reau and the labor bodies believing
that violations of the Chinese immi
grafton law often come to the knowl
edge of laborers that are not pushed
and spoken of. If the organizations
cooperate with the immigration Off
Gals, it is thought all members of la
Dor bodies will make it their business
to watch for violations of the law and
to assist in their detection.

dent.
Cincinnati. Nov. 20.-The experts
who have been working with Receiver
Tucker on the books of the German
National Bank at Newport, Ky, place
the shortage of Frank ii. Brown, the
missing assistant cashier and individ.
ual bookkeeper, at $191, 800 Accord
ing to reports from those who were
with Brown when he left last Tuesday
night he bad less than $500 with him.
Browns salary was only $1,500 per
year. Cases are now cited where he
spent more than that amount in one
day. His bond was for $4,000 and it
is good as far as it goes.
United States District Attorney Hall
will arrive from Paducah Tuesday.
when, it is said, criminal proceedings
will be begun. The federal detectives
have certain persons under surveil-
lance and there are reports about ar
rests that Will follow on the arrival of
District Attorney Hail.
During the run on the bank last Sat
urday, 100000 was secured in Cincin-
natl to bridge over the trouble. This
was returned Monday and Receiver
Tucker had other moneys and papers
also transferred to Cincinnati.
Browns system required a wonder
full memory. The experts say he car
ried in his head the figures that en-
abled him to call off correctly lot of
false entries in way to throw the
clerks who were doing the checking
with him off the track. A depositor
would put in $3100 Brown would en-
ter the proper amount of the deposit
in one book and enter it as 500 in an
other. He would take the difference,
$4,000, himself. Then when it came to
checking up he would handle one of
the books. Another clerk would check
and Brown would call off. Instead of
calling off 800, which appeared as the
amount of the deposit on the book
which he was handling, he would call
it as S3,100, thus making it correspond
with the book in the hands of the 9th
er clerk He also, it is alleged, worked
in another way. A depositor would
draw out $100 Brown would make
the proper entry in one book and en-
ter $3,100 in another When the de-
\positor had his account checked up
Nhe figures were taken from the book
in which the correct entry had been
made When the bank officials looked
to see what amount was due the depos-
itor they were given their information
from the books which showed that
$3,100 had been withdrawn. Brown
had memorized all the individual ac-
counts and the experts find no private
marks OF any kind on the books. The
general LEDGER was kept correct and
balanced with the cash, while the indi-
vidual ledger, it is alleged, was fixed
to suit Browns purpose the former be-
ing the one that the bank officials ex-
amined. 1t is generally believed that
Browns first shortage started acci-
dentally with an error of 81 900 in the
individual accounts.

THE HEALTH HABIT,
lust as Easy to Form as any other.

We do not deliberately form our pet
habits, but they are unconsciously ac-
quired and grow as we grow, and by
the time we learn they are hurting
us we find them too strong to be easily
broken.
Then, why not form a good habit, a
habit which will counteract the many
bad ones, in other words contract the
questionable habit Of being always
well. .,tu.4
The best health habit to get into Is
to have and keep vigorous stomach;
If you have healthy digestion you
can drink your beloved coffee, smoke
your favoritc brand of tobacco with
little or no harm; the mischief begins
when these things are forced upon the
faithful stomach, without any assist
ance. ~
Form the habit of taking after meals
some harmless but efficient digestive
which will relieve the stomach of so
much extra work 90. ..'
Nature furnishes us with such di-
gestiyes and when they are combined
In such a pleasant preparation as STU
arts Dyspepsia Tablets, they give the
overworked stomach just the neces-
sary assistance to secure perfect di-
gestion without any of the harmful
effects of cathartics and similar drugs.
The habit of taking Stuarts Dyspep-
sia Tablets after meals is as necessary
to the weak stomach as food itself,
and indeed to get the benefit FROM
food eaten, nothing better and certain
'ly nothing safer can be used.
Many families consider Stuart's Tab
lets as essential in the house as knives
and forks.
They consist entirely of natural di-
gestive principles without the effect
or characteristics Of drugs; they have
no cathartic acion, but simply go to
work on the food eaten and digest 1t.
Take into account your bad habits
and the expense they entail and then
invest fifty cents in box of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets and see If your
digestion for the next month is not
vastly improved.
Ask the clerk in any drug store the
name OF the most successful and pop
ular stomach remedy and he will say
"Stuart's."
