Since the publication OF DR.. j.

have found their way into circula
tion, by the aid of the RumOreS Ella
Personal Society. One is to the ef-
feet that the reason the Doctor will
not treat any new catarrh patients,
after this week, is because he gave
that part of the practice over for a
certain consideration to a local spe
cialist. Another is to the effect
that he is about to leave the city,
hence he does not care for new Ca
ses, as he wishes to get through
with the great number he has now
on hand.

In China. You will notice by the dis
matches that there are railroad riots In

have been assaulted and are afraid of

airy provocHtion. for the Germans ana
the Belglans who are constructing rail
roads in the Shantung province have
treated the natives in u most abOnin-
able manner and have provoked the
riots of which they now complain.
That portion Of China is one OF the
most densely populated sections Of the
earth, and the people have desperate
struggle for existence. Every inch of
ground Ia cultivated: every straw and
every sprig of vegetation Is utilized III
some way for the support of life. The

necessary for the subsistence OF some

gravel hills, where nothing can grow.
Through this country and undei

trary manner. If the same things
should occur in the United States or in

world they would be attended by the
same results. The Boxers We're or
ganized to resist and revenge these
Dutrages. and they use the only means
within their power to punish their Op-
pressOrs. A Chinaman never gets any
sympathy either in America or else
