AFFAIRS IN CHINA.

dispatch which 1 received yesterday from

Now that the ministers and those under
their protection have been rescued, and
the emperor and empress dowager have

PROVE ALL THINGS.
This Old, Old Command is Easy

To win a wager, an English Marquis
stood on London Bridge and offered for

shillings ($1.25). He could not find
customer. There are several good rea-
sons why the ordinary mortal could not
be induced to buy, but no reason can be
given why Topeka people will not ac-

were discolored and offensive. I was in
bed when I learned of Doan's Kidney
Pills, and sent to Rowley & Shows

gave me relief and in a short time 1

AMERICAN GOLD.
Tt Reaches England in Time to Pre-
vent a Panic.

New York, Aug. 20--A dispatch to the
Times from London says:
Just in the nick of time your gold be-
came available and saved our market
from a nasty jar London stock brokers
and others still grumble at the smart
stroke played by the chancellor of the
exchequer; but had he left the money
market to its own devices last week
forced to put the rate up to 5 per cent.
AS it is, thanks to the lending of credit
promptly on the shipped gold, we have
been able to carry through the mid
monthly stock exchange settlement nav
up the major portion of our share of the
eXchequer bond issue, and meet other
capital calls, not only without any ad-
vance in market rates, but with an ever
increasing ease.
To further the help and make things
comfortable the treasury paid off ST.
100000 of the floating debt in short bills
falling due last Wednesday, and we now
find ourselves at the end of an anxious
week with the loan rates barely more
than per cent and discount slipping
back toward 318.
No further advance has taken place in
the rates of German markets. The Bank
of France continues to accumulate gold
until now it possesses E12, 200, 900 more
than at this date last year and the
highest total ever seen. All this signi-
fies that if we had no war outlays to
provide, indefinite in extent, we would
face the end of the year with equanimi-
ty.
Even our stock markets begin to pluck
up heart and talk of business But the
only interesting episode they gave us
last week was a bear squeeze in tintos.
Arbitragists estimate there are still 30
900 shares Oversold in British markets. so
the weaker statistical position of the
metal may do nothing whatever to pre-
vent further rise in. the price of shares.
All else is languid enough and rail-
way stocks continue to dwindle on the
hints that the trade has begun to decline
and on the high working charges and
onerous capital commitments. But we
nave got consOls once more on the nm
grade in a feeble way, and this week.
Jobbers tell me, discount on Khakis will
be obliterated

CANCER

Sufferers from this horrible 1nalady
nearly always inherit it-not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant in the blood for
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or ulcer makes its ap-
pearance-or a swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part of the body,
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma-
nently all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the b1ood-every vestage
of it driven out This S. S. S. does, and
is the only medicine that can reach deep
seated, obstinate blood troubles like this.
When all the poison has been forced out
of the system the Cancer heals, and the
disease never returns.
Cancer begins often in small way, as the
following letter from Mrs. Shircr shows
