he continued to protect them. After
allowing the Americans to draw their
money from the native bank, the mag

I'VE had no idea then of the terrible
journey which awaited u.s." continued
Mr.. Williams. 1--WE had no notion of
having to escape across Siberia, and
only purposed to remain in some places
of safety and return after the crisis.
Wherever we attempted to stop, how
ever, the officials ordered us to leave

our heels. Finally, reaching a Mongol
encampment at Harausa, we saw that
flight across the great Cobb desert was
inevitable. Having secured a caravan,

Women mainly err through ignorance.
They enter the marriage state already
diso-dered by ~irregularity of the periods.
The delicate and sensitive organs, pecu-
liarly feminine, are in no condition for
the shock which is consequent on the
great change. Drains that are offensive
and facilitating are set up, inflammation
and liberation with female trouble are
added in time, and when motherhood
comes the strength of body is inadequate,
and the condition of mind unfit, for the
responsibility. The natural result is a
child that is unhealthy and unhappy.
Happy wifehood, healthy motherhood,
beautiful children, all follow the use of DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. 1t stops
the drains, allays inflammation, heals ul-
ceration, cures female trouble, soothes
the nerves, and puts the delicate female
organs in a condition Of perfect health.
Syracuse, N. Y, writes: "Your medicines have
done wonders for me. For years my health was
very poor; I had four Eaiscarriages, but since
taking DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
and 'Favorite Prescription have much better
health, and now I have a fine, healthy baby. I
have recommended your medicines to several of
my friends and they have been benefited by
them"

HOW THE KAISER VIEWS 1T.
He Says the Situation Will Not Be
Affected.

Cologne. Sept. 24.-The Kolnische
Zeitung publishes an inspired telegram
from Berlin in which the Washington
governments reply to the German note
is characterized as a manifest effort to
assist the Chinese government to ac-
ccpt the proposals with regard to the
punishment of the leaders in the Chi
nese trouble. The telegram points out
that. though the American reply shows
an indulgent disposition, it must not
be deduced therefrom that the Wash
ington government thinks the United
States trade and missionary interests
require less careful protection than
those of the other powers but that the
United States government is compelled
to be indulgent owing to the unfavor-
Philippines caused by the transfer of
troops from those islands to China.
AS a matter of fact the telegram
adds, the vigorous and exemplary pun,
ishment of the guilty cO%unsellors of
the Chinese court will be in accord,
ance with the interests of both Ameri
can trade and missionaries.
For a settlement between the pow
ers and China, it makes no difference

August Flower.

Its a surprising fact" says Prof.
Houston, that in my travels in all
parts of the world, for the last ten
years l have met with more people
having used Green's August Flower
than any other remedy, for dyspepsia,
deranged liver and stomach, and for
constipation. I find for tourists and
statesmen, or for persons filling office
positions, where headaches and gener-
al bad feeling from irregular habits
exists, that Green's August Flower is
a grand remedy. 1t does not injure
the system by frequent use, and is
excellent for sour stomachs and indi.

creasing at a great rate, and some OF
the men have become so bold that
they boast of it on the outside. One
of the assayers in Victor manufactures
belts by wholesale which he sells to
other assayers, and they give them
to the miners to fill with ore. These
rock is worth from 81 to $50 per
pound"
Mr.. Grant exhibited one of these
belts, an ingenious continuance, eight
Inches wide, with cloth pockets around
the outside and a flannel lining to go
next to the skin. Many of these belts,
he said, are known to be worn in the
mine.
Mr.. Grant told of a Waterman who
had been detected while letting men
into the ore house at night for the pur-
pose Of robbery, and added that ar
Engagements had been made to prevent
a repetition of losses in that manner.
He explained the allusion to men job
bling one another, saying it had be-
come a common practice for the guilty
to accuse innocent men and procure
their discharge.
Unions Will Not Interfere.
The management of the mine has
consulted the officers of the Victor
and Altman Miners unions and have
assurances that the unions will not in
~terfere in the matter. Mr.. Shipman
defines the attitude of the company to-
ward the unions as follows:
I'VE will assist the unions in any
Legitimate object. If any man belongs
to the unions, they must pay their dues.
No discrimination is practiced for or
against union men"
By invitation Of the management
the correspondent inspected the room
in which it is proposed to have the
men strip themselves of their working
clothes before leaving the mine. The
changing house is about 20 feet from
the door of the shaft house, and 80
feet from the shaft. A covered pas
sage not yet completed, will connect
the shaft with the changing house.
The entrance to the latter is through
an entry designed to exclude drafts.
The first room is "a by so feet. The
floor is of hard wood and partly COW
cred with mating. In the center and
at the sides are settings with racks
underneath for shoes. On the walls
and along a frame down the center of
the room are hooks for clothing, each
numbered. Here the men are expect
ed to strip to the skin when they come
from work. At the further end of the
room is a stationary screen. Then an
archway, and beyond another screen.
The Waterman is stationed in the
door between the screens and will
scrutinize each naked nan as he
passes. The outer room is identical
with the first. The same s~ettees, the
same high windows and hooks num-
bered to correspond with those in the
first room. Both apartments are to be
kept heated to the same temperature
at all times, and hot water for washing
will be constantly provided. The
changing rooms are comfortable
enough to reconcile anyone if it were
not for the condition attached to
use.

For eight days we travelled over
nothing but sand. The air Wa Ike
that of an oven, and the sufferir.g was

and no water and marching in the day

wells Mongols were encamped n the
vicinity and they refused to allow us
to draw water. fearing we would pois-

After ~thirty-eight days of terrible
anxiety, We reached Urga, on the 9TH

sorry spectacle. The Russian consul
general was most kind. He gave TO us
fourteen oom in the consulate. But,
to our dismay, the consul told us We
must leave forthwith. as there were
1000 Mongol soldiers in the %neiShbor-
hood who might be hostile. He also
warned us that the tens of thousands
of Monguls We're gathering for a re-
ligious festival and that if we valued
our safety we had better clear out
without delay.
