IuteIy Certain.

Herman II. Yer Mehren, who is at the
Presbyterian hospital as the result of an
attempt made upon his life by his wife
Tuesday evening was reported carly this
morning to be getting along nicely with ap-
parently good prospects for recovery. How
ever, Dr. Porter says a day or two mus
pass before the patients prospects can be
positively determined.
Mrs. Yer Mehron passed a bad night at
the Jail. Her eyes are red, as II she had
been weeping and she says she didn't sleep
wink. Breakfast for herself and sons
was purchased at a restaurant. She ate
heartily and after clearing away the re-
mains Of the repast selected book from
the small library in the matron's room and
sat down to read, soon becoming to all
appearances deeply interested.

rem, arrived in Omaha at II o'clock

HOPES TO WIN ENGLAND OVER
Berlin Denies that United States and Great
Britain Are Unit as to China,
AMERICAN POSITION HAaSHLY CONDEMNED
German Journals Draw Pictures of
ConGer Negotiating with IL Hung
Chang, While About Them Are
Troops Fighting boxers.

BERLIN, Sept. 26.-1.ate this afternoon
the correspondent OF the Associated Press
in Berlin showed the German Foreign Office
a private dispatch from London asserting
that Lord Salisbury had informed Count Won
Hatzfeldt-W Wildenberg, the German ambas-
sador TO Great Britain, that the reply Of
the British government to the German note
would agree with that OF the United States
The Foreign Office thereupon reiterated the
statement that this assertion was positively
false. Upon attention being called to the
fact that the dispatch in question did not
claim that the alleged information had been
received from Count Won Hatzfcldt a high
Foreign office official reread the adyices
from the German ambassador and then said
Lord Salisbury has asked for a few days
in which to consider the matter, desiring to
procure certain information before giving a
final reply. No answer has been given, at
least no formal answer. There has been
some informal discussion between Lord SAL
isbury and Count Won Hatzfeldt, but It is
not true that Great Britain has finally re-
piled In the same tenor as the United
States"
This repeated and emphasized denial Of
the non-receipt Of a formal answer has
deepened the impression that the London
adyices OF the Associated Press concerning
the matter are correct, the opinion being
that the German Foreign office still clings
to the hope OF winning England over.
The evening papers, taking this cue from
the Foreign office, natly deny that Great
Britain is arrayed with the United States
against the German proposal. The Berlner
Post says: "The announcement Is only in
tended to conceal the fact OF the isolation
Of the United States"
r the most part the influential journals
follow the lead Of the Cologne Gazette's in
spred article, blaming the United States
for Chinas renewed exhibition of hostile In
tentions. The Berliner Post, referring to
Prince Tuan's latest edict, says: 1T would
be sad spectacle to see Mr. conger ne
gotiating for peace in Pekin with Ii Hung
Chang, while the Boxers in the immediate
vicinity were lghting with the troops of the
other powers"
The Kruz Zeitung discussing the Amerl-
can position, comes to this conclusion. "a
country subject to whims like the United
States cannot be permanently considered as
q serious factor in international affairs"
Government circles deny the statement OF
the italian press that Germany is trying to
induce Italy to increase her forces in China.

DAINTY FOOD'
Turns Pale Cheeks 10 Pink.

Our best physicians OF the present day
seek to cure patients by the use OF food
rather than heavy drugs, and this is the
true method, for all physicians agree that
only from food can the body be rebuilt.
Many people fail to give their physicians
credit, for after living ON poorly selected
or badly cooked food for long time, per
baps, and when their ailments become
chronic they expect the doctor, with some
magic potency, to instantly rebuild them.
This is not possible, The only true
method is to turn as quickly as can be
from poor food to good A young lady,
Miss Alice Hendricks, employed at the
corner OF Fourth and Race streets, Gin

for my nerves, muscles lungs, etc, but

H0N0RS FOR DEAD CHINAMEN
Imperial Edict Pays Tribute To No.
torious Anti-Forcigncrs, who
Took Their own Lives.

LONDON, Sept. 27.--i:15 a. m-The China
question is again the phase Of the discus
sion Of the stability Of the European con-
cert and the likelihood OF Germany finding
1t convenient to modify her aggressive atti-
tude. According to the Yokohama corre-
snondent Of the Daily Mail, Japan assents TO
The German proposal but at the same time
strongly urges that there should be no pro
longed delay in the negotiations. The same
authorities say the japanese would decline
TO follow Germany in pursuing the inn

From Shanghai comes the announcement
that an imperial ediCt confers posthumous
honors on the anti-foreign commissioner,
Ii Ping Heng. who committed suicide after
tho evacuation of Tung Chow, and Duke
Chung vi, the late emperors father-in-la
who killed hamself after the emperor and
empress regent left Pekin.
Chinese papers assert that orders have
been issued for the erection Of new i'm
peral palace at 81 Ngan Flu. They also re-
port that Ii Hung Chang has started for
Pekin, escorted by Russian and Japanese
troops. and that Ii Chuan Fin has been ap-
pointed viceroy of Canton.
Sheng's yamen confirms the rumor that
Ii Hung Chang has received secret orders to
attempt to recapture Pekln.
DeSCrlDlng the disorders In the vicinity OF
Canton, the Hong Kong correspondent of the
Times, writing yesterday, says: The Amer
lean church in the suburbs OF Canton has
been destroyed and the Catholic church at
To Kan Hang and the foreign cemetery
there have been desecrated.
The Times, dealing editorially with the
attitude OF Washington says:
This is not calculated TO smooth the
path OF the powers. Mr.. Conger's unsolic-
tied offer of mediation is proceeding very
unusual in diplomacy If the United States
government wthdraws its troops It will vir-
tualy leave the American legation under
the protection of powers with whom the
United States declines TO cooperate. Amer
lea must be aware that no legation with
only guard to defend 1t would long be
safe under n Chinese government including
Prince Tuan and the other Boxer leaders"
The editorial goes on to express a reluc-
tance to believe the reports that Russia
will permanently occupy Manchuria and pro-
tests against the Russian massacre at
Nicuhwang and in the Amur district and
against Russia's seizure OF Niuchwang and
