Prince Tuan To Be Punished.

Washington. October 1.-Several impor-
tant dispatches Were received today FIR
China Generally they tend to confirm
the events recorded Saturday. From Can
ton. Consul McWade reports the issue
OF the decree Furnishing Tuan and his col
leagues. so that there is no longer doubt
as to the accuracy of Sheng's statement
on that point. Mr.. Corser also has re-
ceived official notification of the Chinese
peace commission which was forecasted
by Minister Wu's advices several days
ago. Mr.. Conger makes no reference TO
the condemnatory decree. hence IL il In
ferred that II was not issued when his
dispatch was sent last Thursday. The
text OF these two dispatches is as follows:

WHEN AT DEATHS DOOR
He Laid Aside All Other Medicine
and Swamp-Root Cured Him.

The following testimonial from Mr.. c.
q. Smith. of Arrowood. Ga. is as strong
as the English language can mako It. He
suffered so from uremic blood poison that
three or four times their normal size. For
months he could not wear his shoes. Two
eminent physicians treated him, but gave
I'D his case as hopeless. Yet he was en-
tirelv cured by the use OF Swamp-ROot.
See what he writes to The Constitution:
On the 18th day of May 1 was taken
with rheumatism which developed into
uremic blood poison. My wrists and an
kles were swollen to three or four times
their normal size where laid racked with
the most awful pain and suffering. was
being treated by two eminent physicians
(who-n T knew to be the beSt), but my
case was as nv friends all said. hopeless.
At last / knew the end was not far or
unless relief was at hand and as my
brother mad insisted on my taking
Swamp-Root. my wife bought n small
hottie at the drug store and after the first
day l found a change for the better. /
continued the Swamp-Root alone by the
advise of my physicians. and In all took
twelve bottles. when I laid aside my
crutches and found myself n well man. L
did not have on my shoes from the Ith
of May until the 22d of September. The
reason l am so positive Swamp Root
cured me IS that 1 laid aside all other
medicine when at the worst and took
only the Swamp-Root."

The testimony of we'll known people
whose reputation and standing are OF the
very best IS the only kind which really
counts and IS the only kind We ever give:
Mrs p Il. Marsh is well known to all
the people of Dallas Ga. and only the
desire TO benefit suffering humanity
prompts her TO publicly proclaim the great
good which she has derived from the use
of Swamp-ROOt. She writes follows 10

with view to forming a Judgment on

persons deserving chastisement; whether
punishments proposed accord Win tHe
gravity of the crimes committed and in
what manner the United States ana the

at is hoped that Mr.. Conger's replies

DEBORAH WILL PAVE
WATER AND wlNNEBAGo srReErs-
A Resolution to That Effect Passes TIE
City Council, and Bids will
be Called for.

At special meeting of the City
Council held last week, the report Of
the committee on paving was read, ae-
cepted and filed. The report described
paving in other cities visited, and was
unanimous in favor of brick paving,
either with concrete or macadam for
foundation, covered withia layer Of
sand on which to place the brick, with
a coat of sand on top for filling. The
resolution to the effect that Water
street be paved with brick from the
bridge near the c.. M. & st. r. depot
to the street near the Baptist cnurcf,
and WInnebagO street to the court
house square, was then taken up, and
a motion to Iroceed at once to prepare
for paving was passed, with only one
dissenting vote.
The method of assessing is that the
city does the paving as whole, and
when complete the council assesses the
cost to the abutting property. The
city pays for street crossings and
places where no benefit is conferred.
Engineer M. Tschirgi, of Dubuque,
was here last week, surveying and
getting ready to draw plans Coz the
work, which will be submitted TO the
at meeting next Saturday
night, when, in all probability, bids
will be called for, and the work begun
as soon as practicable.

The Fate of China.

Here is a country containing 4,2OO.-
600 square miles and 400, ,0OO, 900 people,
possessing q barbarian civilization 4 600
years old; q country, the people Of
which, barbarian and heather though
we term them, are still possessed Of
singular habits Of industry and thrift;
patient, dogged, persistent, enduring:
clannish to the last degree, vigilantly
jealous Of the contamination of their
ancient civilization by foreigners; in
no sense a warlike people, but instead,
submissive and fatallstic. utterly help
less to Withstand modern warfare, pro
gress and commercialism. Little by
little commerce has opened here and
there = port, and here and there Chris
than missionaries have sought To-
awaken the people to the benefits Of .
christian civilization, with but little
success. Resenting the aggressive in
trusion of foreigners, China has struck
at them as the rattle-snake strikes-in
self defense, and in doing so has
brought the fleets and armies of the
civilized world to her doors. The end
il neither far off nor uncertain. The
old goes down before the new, chris
tianity will supersede confucianism;
the American locomotive will race
from end to end of the empire; the
barbarian civilization OF 1900 years
will 60 down before an Anglo-Saxon
aggressi iveness. 1t connot be prevent
ed; it is fate.-JO. TRIGG.
