I'm this critical posture of affairs in
China IL is deemed appropriate to de-
fine the attitude of the United States
as far as the present circumstances
permit this TO be done. we adhere to
the policy initiated by us in 1857 OF
peace with the Chinese nation, of fur
therancc of lawful commerce. and of
protection of lives ana property of our
citizens by all means guaranteed un-
Ger eNtraterritoral rights and by the
laws of the nations Ii wrong bc done
to our citizens we propose to hold the
responsible author to the utmost ac-
countability. We regard the condition
at Pelin as one OF virtual anarchy.
whereby power and responsibility is
practically devolved upon the local
provincial authority. SO long as they
are not in overt collision and rebel
non and use their power 10 protect
foreign rights ana property. we regard
them as representing the Chinese
people. with whom we seek To remain
in peace and friendship. The purpose
of the President is, as has been here
tofore. to act concurrently with the
other Powers-frst.in opening up COM
munication with Pckin and rescuing
the American officials. missionaries
and other Americans who are in dam
ger; secondly. in affording all possible
protection everywhere in China to
American life and property; thirdly. in
guarding and protecting all leCiti-
mate American interests, and, fourth
ly. in aiding to prevent Il spread OF the
disorders to the other provinces of the
empire and Il recurrence of such dis
asters. 1t is, of course, too early To
forecast the means OF attaining this
last result. but the policy Of the gov
eminent Of the United States IS to
seek a solution which may bring about
permanent safety ana peace to China.

Special to the Register.
STEUBENVILLE, Ohio. June 9.-The
difference between the tonnage men
and the National Steel Company, at the
Mingo plant, is still unsettled and the
men are realizing what they are up
against under trust management. The
men ask that their working shifts if
they have to work Sunday nights be
eight hours, but the company is not
disposed to grant it. The theory of
closing down a mill one place and
starting another at another point when
there is a difference with men at some
point is being carried out. The trust
plant at Columbus was not working.
but since the differences at Mingo it
has been started and steel hauled TO
Mingo for the continuous mills.
Contracts have been awarded for the
Kings Daughters Hospital, the wood
work to A. ]. Shave, and the stone

TORONTO, o., June 9.-The Marquet
Coal Company, of New Cumberland,
who control a large area of coal lands
back of that place, will have their spur,
or branch off the New Cumberland
branch of the Panhandle, completed
by July l. The Marquet Company be-
fore had a narrow guage with steam
motor to bring the coal down to the
main line, and the new standard guage
Will make a great reduction in cost OF
producing the coal.
The Excelsior tin clay plant, the JEFF
ferson and Freeman plants, all owned
by the American Gay Manufacturing
Company, have closed down indefinite
ly. About $50 men are out of employ
ment. There are also vague rumors
that at times become well defined that
other plants of the big trust will close
down. By next spring the trust will
have demonstrated whether 1t is a ben
eft or a detriment to the general pros
perity of the community.
The suit of George Parkinson against
the Great Western Clay Company, of

Martins Ferry is till enjoying the
pleasure of having most of its indus
tries busy and in the last week little
change has been shown, and the old
manufacturing establishments have re-
NAMED about the same. AS to its new
industries there has been no percepti-
BILE change, but those which are in pro-
gress, it is said are receiving much en-
enlargement which is very gratifying
to the promoters.
The Aetna-Standard, the old stand
by of this city, remains about the same,
with about two-thirds of the plant in
operation, which is partly caused by
the breaking of an engine. 1t is not
known when the balance OF this mill
will resume but it is most probable
that several of the idle mills will start
up during this week.
The Laughlin Nail Company has
closed down, presumably on account of
lack OF orders. The factory has for
some months had a steady run, turning
out a large amount Of nails. AS to
when it will resume has not yet been
learned, but it is thought by many this
plant will only be idle a short time, as
the demands for nails at the present
time is quite heavy.
The Spence Baggs Co. is having it's
usual run, and is making preparations
for the fall trade, as the plant is one of
the best equipped foundrys in the val
ley and its products find a ready mar
ket.
Mann's foundry, which has such
an nyiable record for good work,
sees few idle days, and t present is
quite busy, making many heavy cast
ings for which this plant is ably
equipped for.
Hipkins' Novelty mould works is en-
joying a good business, although the
glass business is now dull. This well
known factory always has sufficient
orders to keep their force busily en-
gagged.
The Riverside Bridge and Structural
Iron Co. is still enjoying its usual busy
III This industry has enjoyed an ex-
c%eptionally steady run for several
months.
The McDermott tool works have no
fault to find with business, as the CON
ditions of the roads at present make it
very easy to haul oil well tools, which
is the main work of this works.
The Stanton heater works is certain
ly winning much distinction for its
popular heater, and to-day, they have
all their force employed with plenty of
orders a head.
The West Virginia Glass Co. is on in
full and enjoying a good trade.
Laughlin tin plant Is busily engaged
working every day. The new addition
to this plant will soon be started, as a
number of houses have been moved.
AS to how large the addition will be,
has not yet been given to the public.

EATS ANYTHING
Since leaving on Concc.

Il wish 10 give my experience with
coffee for the benefit of other people. l
used coffee for several years and was &
terrible sufferer from dyspepsia. The
doctor told me not TO use coffee or tea
and put me on a light diet and / felt
better.
Then I commenced to drink coffee
again and had the same trouble come
on.
.One day I told a friend about it,
who said if would stop drinking coffee
altogether | would feel better, and adj
wise me to use Postum Food Coffee in
Its place.
1 tried Postum but did not like it. so
] told him about it and he said 1 didn't
COOK it right, that $, didn't boil il
enough and that should use cream in
stead of milk. and to make sure I would
use it, he sent a package to the house.
After / used that package. | would
have no more coffee in the house. Now
/ don't know what it is to have dyspen-
STA and / "a eat anything. 1 also give
Postum TO my two children and they
are the healthiest children o could
find anywhere. The youngest is a boy
10 months old and we have been giving
him Postum for seven months, three
times a day. He weighs 80 pounds. and
| know that Postum is what keeps both
OF them SO healthy.
I think all people who have dyspep-
sia get it from coffee drinking.

medicines will do all that is claimed for them.
"May God bless YOU IN your work Of helping the sick"
DR.. Pierce's offer of free consultation by letter
has been initiated by offers of rfree medical ADVICE
made by men or women, who are not physicians,
and are, therefore, entirely unqualified to give med
ical advice. A scrutiny of the cunningly-worded
advertisements Of these people win show that they
do not claim to be physicians; they do not because
they dare not for fear of the penalties Of the law.
Many a woman has added to her s~ufIerings by ac-
cepting the misleading statements of such unscru-
pulous advertisements.

q BEsT MEDICINE ON EARTH,

cOver one year ago 1 wrote to On. R v. Pierce for ADVICE
says Mrs. R. NJ. Cites, of 1905 William Street, Omaha, Nebr.
0Had been doctoring with two of my home physicians for
blood poison. They did not do me much good-only for
a short time. DR.. Pierce recommended his medicines, and

heard Of DIR, Pierce's medicines; / cannot thank him too
much for his kind advice to me. Two of my brothers
wives have taken his 'Favorite Prescription for female
weakness, and have been greatly benefited. recommend
it to all my lady friends as the best medicine on earth for
ailirg worankind."
Spurious offers Of ofree medical advicep should
not be COMPOUNDED with DR.. Pierce's genuine offer
Of free consultation By letter. There is no offer of
efree medical advice" made by man or woman
which has behind it an institution of national note,
such as the Invalds' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, N. Y. There is no offer Of vfree medical
advice" made by man or womail which has behind
it a physician whose success in the treatment and
cure of diseases peculiar to women equals that OF
DR.. Pierce. There is no offer of vfree medical
advice" made by woman or man which carries with
it the privileges Of DR.. Pierce offer Of free an
s~ulation BY letter. This places at the disposal of
suffering women the resources of a great medical
Institution and the skill Of nearly a score Of expert
enced physicians.

nv BUFFALO, ~. ",

At 663 Main Street, there stands the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute. 1t is presided over
by DR.. R. Y, Pierce, assisted by a medical staff of
nearly a score of physicians, each man a specialist
in the treatment and cure of some form of disease.
The rooms of this Institute are always full of pa
tents, who come from all sections Of the country to
obtain the surgical and medical advantages offered
by DR.. Pierce and his staff.
But there IS another branch of this Institution
which is even more important than its home prac-
tice it IS the free consultation by letter department,
where hundreds Of private letters are privately
read and privately answered each week of the year.
Some idea of the scope of this work can be gathered
from the fact that in a little more than thirty years,
assisted by his staff of medical specialists, DR..
Pierce has treated and cured over half a million
women. Sick and ailing women are invited to
consult DR.. Pierce by letter 6ee. All correspond
ence is held as strictly private aud sacredly con
hdential.
