MODERN METHOD OF TREATMENT.
Akron Specialist Receiving Wonderful Results

II is quite easy to publish tesumon-
ials from some one in Texas, Califor-
MIA, or some distant country, but such
testimonials are Of little value to the
sufferer. The testimonials of DR..
Ramsey are from people living in
Akron or the surrounding counties,
people whom you can see and talk
with, and whose word is beyond ques-
tion; people whose sole aim In giving
testimony Is to benefit others. If
you are suffering from any form Of
chronic disease, DR.. Ramsey's coun-
sci is free and welcome.

R~USS0-AMERIGAN PROPOSALS
Is Meeting With Favor From the Euro
pean Powers

London, August 31.-The Associated
Press has official authority for an
nouncing that the American-Russian
proposal in favor of the withdrawal Of
the allied forces from Pekin. with the
view of facilitating negotiations for
the conclusion of peace, has not only
met with considerable favor at Euro

tain to be adopted. In the meanwhile
the question of employing Ii Hung
Chang as an intermediary is meeting
with more and more favor, and. as the
ssocate Press has minated IN re-
cent dispatches, in all probability Will
be settled affirmatively as soon as Ii
Hung Chang is able to obtain neces-
authority.

SOUTHERNERS' COMMENTS

Atlanta, Ga, August 31.-The Grand
Army of the Republic at Chicago We'd

in the southern schools as calculated
to ~perpetuate prejudice against the
federal government owe the events of
the civil war"
General John B. Gordon, commander
in-chief of the United Confeder-
crate Veterans, say he does not be-
lieve that any respectable southern
teacher is knowingly using any book
that is intended to p~erpetuate sectional
prejudice in the minds of their chill
dren. Every movement made by the
United Confederate Veterans and every
recommendation made by our histori-
cal committee has been to find and suS-
tain only such books as give the truth
history, without the slightest tinge
passion or prejudice against either
the north or the south"
Governor Gambler commented rather
forcibly on the matter, saying the af-
fair was all rot and gotten up for po-
effect.

CROSS ACCUSATIONS
the Foreigners I'm Pekin and
the Relieving Force Systematic
LOoting

Copyrighted by Associated Press.)
Taku, August %, via Shanghai, Au-
gust 3O.-An interesting letter written
by the viceroy of Pao Ting Flu, who
commanded at Tien Tsin during the
fighting there, complaints that the
Boxers are ~overrunning the country
southwest of Tien Tsin, particularly
h cities on the Grand canal, despis-
ing the officials who at first counten-
anced them n looting and killing the
enemies of their organization and
fighting the imperial troops. The
gates of Pao Ting Flu are kept closed
and the people inside are suffering, the
Boxers practically besieging the place.
The vfceroy reports lat the Tao
Tai Of the city or Tsang Chow on the
canal invited 1000 Boxers to q -7st
and that while THE Boxers were eating
and their weapo were stacked the
imperial soldiers, by his orders, fell
upon them and slaughtered all of
them.
Their. is much recrimination between
the foreigners besieged in Pekin and
the members of the relieving force.
Offers say that the besieged sent out
alarmiSt reports and that the condi-
ton of the foreigners was never one

patches reported. The foreigners, they
assert, could ave resisted indefinitely.
The beSieged accuse the believers of
timidity and of exaggerating the Chi
nese opposition. They think a much
smaller army might have made the
march and relieved them months
sooner.
The looting at Pekin proceeds indus
triouSly and openly. The officers of
every nation, except the Americans,
ignore the repressive order, and all
the allies ridicule the Americans for
their a~bStention.
Missionary Green, of the China in
land mission, his sister, wife and their
two children, who were for some time
held as prisoners by the Boxers near
Pao Ting Flu, were well treated. A
of Chinese Catholics ave
held a town near Pao Ting Flu for
three months against the Boxers and
imperial troops. The officials nave
offered large sums for their capture.

THE MARCH TO PEKlN
Terrible Prfvations of the Soldiers.
The Unique Transport Train

copyrighted by Associated Press.)
Pekin, August IA, by post via Tien
Tsin.-One disadvantage that the
Americans had during h hard march
to the relief Of Pekin was that their
transportation wagons We're late in
arriving. The Ninth infantry possess
ed the only outfit which reached Tien
Tsin up to the time of starting. The
supplies were divided among the SOL
diers of the Ninth infantry and the
Fourteenth infantry regiments and
the battery. The Americans. with hav-
ersacks, blankets and tent rolls, start
ed under the heaviest loads. but they
ring to forego their blankets rather
than to sweat under them. During
the last two nights Of the march they
slept tired and worn out in h rain
without shelter or cover.
One night the wagon train lost the
road and passed the American camp.
The drivers plodded along tour miles
have driven into the Chinese camp but
fortunately the Russians stopped them
just in time.
The Americans often bivouacked

ward the end the officers kept the
men at work only by appealing to their

The army transport when it reached
Pekin was an unique spectacle. Miles
of animals, vehicles and coolies trailed
behind, everything imaginable on
wheels, from farm wagons to faShiona-

cows bearing packs and the Russians
had camels. Cinnamon pulled the
carts, staggering under heavy packs.

After 1t was apparent that the enemy

have justified such hardships as were
imposed upon the troops.
