Nervousness is a common feminine disease
which are offered as cure for nervousness, in the
form of Compounds or "nervines." And yet no
cure is effected The relief is only temporary. The
reason is that these potions oplates and mar
cotics. They put the nerves to sleep for time
but when they wake again their condition is worse
than before. Modern medicine recognizes the re-
lation of this nervous condition in women to the
forms of disease which affect the sensitive
manly organs. To cure the nervousness the cause
must be removed. The of DIR. Pierce's Favor
ite Prescription will result in the of weaken
ing drains, Inflammation, liberation, and bearing

scription," because nothing else is harmless or

close proximity of the dam, and when
they discovered it the boat was too
close to be rowed away. There was
not much water going over the dam at
the time and the little craft stuck fast.
The lockkeeper came to their rescue
in a launch and threw them rope,
which he instructed them to tie around
their bodies and then jump overheard.
HaIlen and Braumfine refused, but the
girl and Kappiain did so, and as they
jumped out the boat shot over the dam

ABE THE IFGATIONSsSAFE2
An OncinI Announcement Which
Seems to BE Discredited by
Later ReDOrts.

London, July 9.-The foreign con-
suls at Shanghai met on July and
officially announced that the legations
at Pekin were safe on July 4. The
foregoing statement, read with Consul
Warren's dispatch to the foreign Of
fee on Saturday, makes 1t possible to
believe that the legations will hold out
for a number of days yet. Having
fought to a standstill the first out
bursts of fanatical fury, it is believ-
able that something may intervene to
save them. The news, after the sin
lister rumors of the last ten days, is
enough upon which to build up hopes.
The Shanghai correspondent of The
Express, telegraphing on Sunday, at
5: 10 p. m, however, throws doubt upon
Consul Warren's information. He
says:
"Taotai Sheng now admits that there
was an error in his communication to
Gen Warren. The date of the Cour-
ier's arrival at Chinen Flu was July 3,
which does not apply to his departure
from Pekin. The journey from Pekin
to Chinen Flu occupies five days. The
courier, therefore, could not have left
Pekin later than June 28. The date of
the massacre there, as given by Chi
nese reports, was June 80 or July l."
Tien Tsin is still hard pressed. A
Chinese force numbering from 10000
to 100000 men, as estimated by incon-
elusive reconnoiSsances, floods the
country round about Tien Tsin, COM
munication between which place and
Taku is apparently possible by river
only.
A Crefoo dispatch says the Russians
have landed 1900 men at Taku and the
Japanese have discharged several
transports. The japanese pushed on
10 Tien Tsin, leading in the subsequent
assault upon the native river, in which
their commander was killed. Ten more
transports are engaged at Japanese
ports. With the 10000 British India
troops afloat and fresh Japanese con-
tingents 1t is quite probable that the
allies will soon have $4,000 men ashore.
The disorders in the provinces ap-
pear to be increasing in violence. A
Chinese army is within 40 miles Of
New Chwang, and the foreigners are
preparing to abandon their homes.
The southern part Of the province is
swept by raiders, destroying all works

ALLEGED ASSASSINATION PLOT.

Mckinley has been frustrated. 1t was
concocted by a group of Spanish and
Cuban conspirators, with headquar-
ters in New York One of the plotters
weakened and sent a warning letter
to member of the Republican nation
al committee. That letter was placed
in the hands of Secretary Charles
Dick, who referred it to Chairman B.
B. Odell, of the New York state COM
mittee for investigation. Chairman
Odell engaged a detective, who speed
lily verified certain important allega-
tions made in the warning letter.
Thereupon Mr.. Odell reported to Sec
retary Dick, who laid all the facts be-
fore Chairman Mark Hanna.
Messrs. Dick and Hanna laid the
whole matter before the president
shortly before he departed for Canton
They instructed Mr. Odell to continue
his investigation and cautioned him
to work with the utmost secrecy.
To World reporter last evening Mr.
Odell admitted that he and certain
members of the national committee
had discovered a plot to assassinate the
president.
