Want Two More Executed.

Washington, Oct. 31.-The ministers

more Chinese ministers to those who
SHAH be executed, namely, Prince Vi
and Yang Me. This appears to be the
first indication that the ministers
themselves do not accept as sufficient
the edict of the Chinese emperor that
he will punish the individuals, as they
were specifically named by China as
among those to be punished. Prince
vi is one of the first princes OF China.
In the edict of Sept. 25 it was ordered
that he be deprived of his rank.

ON THE RAIL

If western roads ran their trains fast
like eastern lines Madison would be
brought within three hours of Chicago.
One of the speediest trains on the con-
tinent is no doubt the black diamond
express on the picturesque Lehigh Val
ley road. from New York to Buffalo.
The regular schedule of this train is,
west-bound, New York to Buffalo, AS
miles, hours and 55 minutes. inclul-
ing ferry and Ii stops. Deducting
time consumed by the ferry at New
York and stops, the actual running
time of train between Jersey City and
Buffalo, AT miles, is 9 hours and IL
minutes or about so miles an hour. At
such slip a Northwestern train could
reach Chicago in considerably less
than three hours after leaving Madf-
son. The regular schedule of this
train, east bound, Buffalo to New York,
AS miles. is 10 hours and minutes,
including ferry and Ii stops. Deduct
ing the time consumed by ferry and
stops, the actual running time of the
train between Buffalo and Jersey City,
447 miles. is 9 hours and 20 minutes.
An especially fast run was made by a
train on July q. 1900. Alpine to Ken
utes, or a speed of SO miles in % min
utes, or speed of SO miles per hour.
Another instance is shown on Novem
Der 3, 1899, where it ran 1873 miles in
33 minutes, this being 80 miles an
hour. Much of the country traversed
is mountainous, and when this fact is
taken into account, the speed attained
is really marvellous. The country is as
beautiful and the roadbed exceedingly
smooth. For a considerably distance
it follows the course of a canal which
in the olden time carried an enormous
volume OF commerce into the Susque
hanna region of Pennsylvania.

IS IT RIGHT

For an Editor to Recommend
Patent Medicine?
Sylvan Valley News, Brevard, N. G.
1t may be question whether
the editor of newspaper has the
right to publicly recommend any
of the various proprietary medi-
cines which flood the market, yet
as a preventive of suffering we
feel it duty to soy good word
for Chamberlain's Cholic, Cholera
and DiarrhOa Remedy. We have
known and used this medicine in
our family for twenty years and
have always found it reliable. In
many cases a dose of this remedy
would save hours of suffering while
physician is awaited. We do
not believe in depending implicit
ly on any medicine for cure, but
we do believe that if bottle of
Chamberlain Diarrhna Remedy
was kept on hand and administer
ed ut the inception of an attack
much suffering might be avoided
and in very many cases the pres
ence of a physician would not be
required. AT least this has been
our experience during the past
twenty years. For sale by Hooff.
