weight battle that wound up the pro-

rounds of fighting is what the card
produced, and the opening event was
as replete with hard fighting as was
the struggle for honors in the weller
division, while there was not mo-
ment of idleness in the semi-wind up

CHIN WAR NEWS.

The Chinese in the Pei Hovalley are
paying dear for the folly of their gov
eminent. The retribution they are
suffering exceeds the ordinary penal
ties of war. Along the river and roads
travelled by the foreign troops between
Tien Tsin and Pekin an orgie of loot
ing and destruction continues with
much useless slaughter of unotfending
inhabitants. While the international
forces were advancing the command
ers, notably the Japanese, American
and British, enforced a certain degree
of protection for property not needed
for military purposes At that time
most of the population except the
fighting men had fled. But now tho
people are returning To their homes,
only TO find no shelter or rice or occu'
patton. In the overcrowded, famine
threatened districts away from the
river their lives and small possessions
are at the mercy of bands of soldiers
travelling about without officers
The state department has dispatched
its instructions TO the United States
diplomatic representatives abroad in
conformity with the decision reached
on the Goth by the cabinet upon the
Russian proposal TO withdraw the
troops in Pekin in order to allow the
empress dowager and Emperor Kwang
to return to the capital, TO institute
negotiations for settlement with the
powers. All of these steps are matters
of common agreement, so IL was not
possible for two of the nations con-
cerned, Russia and the United States,
to make agreements between them
selves at this stage, at least, as it is
necessary to advise each of the govern
ments represented in China of the var
ious propositions as they are preached.
Hence the L. 5. has declined to quit
Pekin on Russias terms.
Fifty Americans, including the Misses
Condit-Smith, Woodward and Paine,

Tsin from Pe<in report that Gen. Chat

A wreck on the NJ. C. Narrowly Averted.

A terribly wreck was narrowly
averted on the Michigan Central bridge
over the Rasin river at Monroe on the
night of the 9sth. A passenger train
was pulling into that place from the
north, when the engine struck the
rear end of an extra freight train
which was on the bridge. The pas
senger train was heavily loaded, many
passengers being compelled TO ride
standing. When the collision occurred
pandemonium reigned The engineer
set the air brakes so suddenly that the
passengers were scattered all over the
ears, and considerable baggage was
lost into the river out of the baggage
EAR door. No fatalities occurred.

ceived but little satisfaction from the

Every day adds to the list of deaths
attributed TO heart failure. If the
truth were told the bulk of these
deaths might be written down as due
to stomach failure For it is in the
failure of the stomach and other organs
of digestion and nutrition, that vweak
heart, weak lungs, weak nerves and
other forms of physical deterioration
having their beginning. The man whose
stomach is sound, who can digest and
assimilate the food he eats, and so keep
each organ of the body well nourished,
is the man who is least liable to collapse
under the sudden weakness of some
vital organ.
The preservation of health which fol-
lows the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, is chiefly due to the
fact that it perfectly and permanently
cures diseases of the stomach and organs
of digestion and nutrition, purifes the
blood and increases the blood supply of
the body. Weak people will find in this
medicine sure means of strength.

AN ALLEGED BOY DYNAMITER.
Said to Have Tried TO Blow Up His
Brother for Revenge.

SCRANTON, Pa, July 19.-In Alderman
Miller's court yesterday Abram Ross
charged his brother Leo with an attempt
to murder him. Abram is the prosper
Gus proprietor of several lunch wagons
which have become corner features of this
city, and Leo, who is only eighteen years
old, has been in his employ several years.
AT the alderman's Office Abram specifically
accused the young man OF having placed
a dynamite cartridge under one of his
wagons. the one in which he himself did
business, with the intent of blowing the
vehicle and its proprietor into atoms.
The attempt was made at night. but
was frustrated by the appearance of an
other man, who caught the sparkling fuse
and eXtinguished il. The attempt on his
life, the older brother says, was because
he had dismissed Leo from service. The
boy was committed for trial in default of
heavy bail. He made no defence to the
accusation

An article published in the May Pear

CANTON CALLED.
Fire Department Responds
Promptly But Has Moth
ing to Do.

At 1852 p. m. while the department
was at the McLain fire, a telephone mes
sage was received at the central en-
that the fire was gaining headway and
asking assistance from the Canton de-
partment. Two strokes of the big gong
called Assistant Chief Fred Talbot to
the engine house and he at once made
preparations for leaving. The Fort
and in short time had a box car and
gondola car at the Aultman shops
where fire engine and hose cart was
loaded with the aid of a large crane.
The horses were put in the box car and
the apparatus was blocked and at AIT,
pulled out for Massillon. The train
was in charge of Conductor Humberger
and Engineer Smathers with engine No.
1872, one of the Canton yard engines.
Massillon was reached about 4:35 with
out incident and the train was met by
that city, who informed Assistant Chief
Talbot that he had received a telephone
message from West Brookfield and that
their services would not be required
as the heavy rain fall had succeeded
in checking the flames. 1t was the in
tention of the Canton department to
unload at Massillon and drive to the
village which is about two miles dis
tant. After stay in Massillon of about
twenty minutes the return trip was
made and the apparatus arrived at the
engine house at 6:15 p. m. The firemen
accompanying the assistant chief were

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There Is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining Of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when 1t Is en-
tirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
ed by catarrh. which is nothing but an
infiamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
