KANSAS CITY'S READINESS.
A New Convention Hall Rises Frol
the Ashes of the Old.


DR.. Junius H. Wattles. OF Kansas City,
who is stopping at the varnum, said to a
Times man today that his home city was

Democratic Convention the greatest CT al

this Convention we believe We are going 70

States, the champion Of the people. VII

DR.. Wattles smote his knee with his
hand,-his voice rose to a high pitch. and
he grew enthusiastic. as he said this.
Convention Hail was burned TO the
ground on April 4. Within one hour after
the flames burst out. the sum OF 500 900
had been subscribed TO be applied to the
rebuilding fund The fire started at 1
O'Clock IN the afternoon and at O'Clock
on the same day S100. 600 was subscribed 4
that the great hall might be speedily re-
built. That was Kansas City hustle.
Within a week contracts were let for
the new building nd the wrecl, and debris

blown away. When I left Kansas City

ten thousand temporary seats had been

THE EMPRESS DECREE
Supposed to Have Been Intended to
Deceive Diplomats.

In its last mail from Minister Colger.
in Pekin, the State Department received a
decree issued by the Empress Dowager. CT
which the following is q translation:
The privilege granted by the throne to
the inhabitants Of the country towns and
villages to form train bands and village
militia was given only that they II glt
have the means Of self-prctection in time
Of emergency. These measures were sane
toned from ancient times, and so long as
the people stuck TO the principles enua-
ciated above they found 10 Obs;a les
placed in their way by the Government.
The only cause for apprehension Is that
there may be reckless characters aucng
the villagers who might take advantage OF
the means at hand to break the LAWS
CT the land and create trouble among the
Christians.
But all should know that the Govern
mcEt treats all who ere within the Tor
ders with equal kindiiness ard impartiaIity.
and never makes any 6fierence il its
treatment because people he-ong to differ
ent places We. therefore. look 10 these
train hands and village militia to take 20
heart the wisl5s of the Government a-d
refrain from causing trouble with the
Christians, and on pain Of being punished
fOc their miSdeeds.
I'VE hereby command all Viceroys ard
Governors to exhort the local authorities
under them to keep a careful watch over
all their people ane frequently impress the
wishes Of the Government IN this respect
upon them" Y
Like ether decrees issued by the En-
press Dowager. this was intended for tie
beneat of the Diplomatic Corps. who have
been impreSsing upon the Tsung Li-Yamf n
the necessity Of protecting all Christians.
The secret instructions given to ViceroJ S
and Governors are said to have been Of a
different character, and. It is believed ttat
they are the true cause Of the present
chaotic condition Of the Empire

SECRETS.

There is one man in the United States
who has perhaps heard more women's
secrets than any other man or woman il
the country. These secrets are not Sc
crets OF guilt or shame, but the secrets Of
suffering, and they have been conhded
to DR.. r. Y. Pierce in the hope and ex-
pectatlon OF advice and help That few
OF these women have been disappointed
II their expectations is proved by the
tact that ninetv-eight per cent. Of all
women treated by DIR. Pierce have been
absolutely and altogether cured. Such a
record would be remarkable if the cases
treated were numbered by hundreds
only. But when that record applies to
the treatment of more than ilalf-a-nlil-
hon women, in practice OF over thirty
years 1t Is phenomenal, ard entities DR..
Pierce to the gratitude accorded him by
women. and the honor paid him by the
profession as the first Of specialists in

each day. Mr.. Bryan, while visiting
fewer states, was almost as busy.

ARE QUICK TO SEE.
Good Doctors are Quick to See ard tppre
ciate Real Merit in New Medicines.

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are dis
covery Of great value 10 the medical
profession and the public. They are
an unfailing specific in all cases Of
dyspepsia and disordered digestion.
Almost everybodys digestion is dis
ordered more or less. and the com
monest thing they do for it is to take
some one Of the many so-called blood
purifiers. which in many cases are
merely strong cathartics. Such things
are not needed. II the organs are in a
clogged condition. they need only a lit
tie help and they will right themselves
Cathartics irritate the sensitive Innings
of the stomach and bowels and often
do more harm than good.
Purging is not what is needed. The
thing to do is to put the food in condi-
ton to be readily digested and assim-
lated. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do
this perfectly. They partly digest
what is eaten and give the stomach
just the help il needs. They stimulate
the secretion and excretion Of the di-
gestive fluids and relieve the longest
ed condition Of the glands and mem
branes. They put the whole digestive
system in condition to do its work
When that is done you need take no
more tablets. unless you eat what does
not agree with you. Then take one or
two tablets-give them needed help
and YOU will have no trouble
It's a common sense medicine and
common sense treatment and it will
cure every time. Not only cure the

1t is bitter comment on certain
European nations that the best con
trolled troops in China have been the
American regulars. Not only in
efficiency and discipline have our men
been unsurpassed. but no troops have
been so well officered The European
idea that only d hereditary ayistoc-
racy can furnish officers fitted to lead
and TO control has been completely ex

ished new proof. 1t is amazing to tbs
critics of our soldiers to read that

ruins of a wrecked building in Tien
Tsin by our soldiers, has been turned
