CERTAIN OF A GREAT WAR.
Newspaper Correspondent Says That CHI
M Il Secretly Arming for the
Expected Struggle.

st. Louis, Dec. IA correspondent
Of the Globe-D Democrat Mt Pekin
writes % follows:
China IN now secretly armirg for the
great struggle which all Cinnamon are
certain Is yet to come. The war OF the
powers with China Is not yet over-very
far from II on the contrary. What was
before q struggle with a few thousands
Of the Chinese now seems certain to de-
velop Into n war in which practically
all Of the empire will take part. What
has brought about this change. you ask?
There isn't any change. The Chinese have
all along expected great war with the
world. When Pekin fell and the court
fed, optimists in other parts OF the world
felt certain that the crisis was over. AS
a matter OF undoubted fact the crisis
hasn't yet appeared.
This state of affairs is due TO the In
fernai secretiveness Of the Chinese. They
can hatch q plot among themselves OF
which hardly a breath gets outside. While
our diplomats have been arguing with II
Hung Chang and Prince Ching, and all
the world has hoped for peace. the
whole yellow nation has known that war
must come, unless the powers gave up
about all the claims for which they are
now contending. Pekin stands over
vast powder keg-hguratively speaking.
For that matter. there are ugly rumors
afloat that mines have been dug under
this very city by the willy boxers. and
that all that is wanting Is the signal.

Forward Advice Saves the Life
Of q Prominent Citizen.

Among the Catholic Foresters in this
city, none is better known or more uni
versally esteemed than Mr.. s. P. Rush,
Conductor (President) Of Holy Name
Court, Number 20.
His many friends, inside the Order
and outside of its ranks, were, there
fore, much startled to learn that his
life was in danger, he having Bright's
Disease, that most terrible and fatal
disease.
Mr.. Rush, however, made q grand
struggle for his life, taking prescrip-
lions, and pills, and powders, until his
stomach refused food. At last, his
local druggist, guided by the numer-
Gus inquiries being made at his store
for Dodd's Kidney Pills, advised Mr..
Rush to buy and try some. This he
did, and to his delight he was restored
to health and strength.
Mr.. Rush says that after commence
ing the use Of Dodd's Kidney Pills, he
felt much better, but 1t took two
months to effect cure.
IT took nothing else but Dodd's
Kidney Pills during that time, 20 !

them"
What this wonderful remedy has
done for Mr.. Rush, II will certainly do
for anyone. 1t is the only remedy that
has never failed to cure Bright's Dis
ease.
Mr.. Rush Is just now receiving the
congratulations Of his friends, but
always finds time to say q good word
for the Medicine that saved his life.

forcement of fines of $50 on nearly
500 Illinois corporations which have
