PROSECUTION RESTS.

Rutland, Feb. AT O'Clock last
evening the government rested It's
case IN the trial Of Marvin A. Nc
Clure for aiding and abetting the
cashier Charles W. Mussey in embez-
zing the funds of the Merchants Ma
tional bank.
Receiver Muir testified that the
whole shortage OF the bank was be-
tween S23O,00O and S240, 000 This
is the tirst time that the total amount
of the shortage has been made
known.
Cashier Mussey was on the stand a
long time today but cross eXam'na-
tion failed to shake his testimony Of
the day before. He said absolutely
nothing to incriminate any Of the
directors. He rehearsed the well
kn wn story of how he deceived the
directors and bank examiners. He
admitted dscounting notes for him.
self to the amount Of $1,000 but de-
clared that he never had cent of the
Sl4O, 900 drawn from the bank by Nc
Clure.
A batch of letters written to Mus
sey by Mcclure we're read in court
this morning. They were for the
most part written in 1899 and 1870
and were dated about month apart
Each OF them contained long list of
old notes which Mcclure wished to
have renewed also new note for from
$1,000 to $4,000 which Mcclure asked
to have discounted. The letters were
full Of promises to pay and bright
pictures of McClure'S business pros.
poets. Mcclure often stated upon his
honor that he would ask for no fur
ther loans until something was paid
on the old ones. There was always
an emergency to be met, however,
and Mcclure said he would be swamp
ed unless Mussey gave him some mo.
ney.

force the rule strictly and no one will
be employed in any capacity who is

REFORMATION
An Imperial Edict Causes
a Change in the
Chinese GOVERNMENT
The Future Of tho FIowery
Kingdom Hangs in Balance

New York, Feb. IA despatch
from Shanghai to the Sun says:
An imperial edict ordering a refor-
nation Of the government has just
been received here. 1t refers in de-
tail to China's conservative policy,
which resulted in the boxer movement
and says that as peace negotiations
are now in progress, the government
should be reformed on a basis to bring
future prosperity.
1t adds that established good
methods.of foreign countries should be
introduced to supply China's deticien-
cies, and the past mistakes teach fu.
ture wisdom.
The attempts at reform made by
Kang Yu Wei were seditionary, the
edict declared, and more harmful to
China than the TAPPING rebellion of
of the Boxer movement. These re-
forms were proposed when the EN-
peror was in bad health, and they
would have resulted in anarchy, not
reform. Hence the Emperor request
ed the Empress Dowager to resume
he relns Of government since which
time the reformerS have tried to make
the distinction between the conserva-
.ives and themselves more marked.
Continuing, the edict says that
Chi as greatest difficulty is her old
Gust rs which have resulted in the
inh!actrc dispatch of business and the
pr noting of private gain. Up to
the resent time those who have fol-
lowed western methods have had only
superficial knowledge, knowing only a
little Of foreign languages and foreign
inventions, without knowing the real
basis of the strength OF foreign ma
tions. Such methods are insufficient
for real reform.
In order to obtain true basis the
Emperor commands the ministers of
the privy council the six boards, niue
officers, the Chinese ministers at For
eign courts, and all viceroys and gov
ernorS to hold conference. They
are instructed to rec ,mmend reforms
in the seven branches OF government
namely, the central government,
ceremonies, taxation schools, civil ser
vice examinations, military affairs and
public economies. They are also to
Recommend what part Of the old sys-
TEN can be used and what part needs
changing. Two months are given
them in which to repair their report.
The edict bears the mark of SINGER
ity.
The leading men Of China will now
have chance to express their opin-
ions. China's future hangs in the
balance of what her statesmen can
suggest.
It is considered that this is the
most important epoch in Chinese his
tory since foreign commerce began.

The Climate Conditions Favorable to a Great

The following report from the direc- tor of experiment station, IS published as giving fair resume of the conclu- sions which have heen reached in re- gard to agriculture in this territory:
 One Of the most encouraging signs of the times in connections with Arizona Is the growth of her agricultural interests. These interests, by creating a settled population and certain sources of wealth, insure the Territory, as whole, against those excessive fluctuations in pOpula- tion and finance which arc so often observed in purely mining communities. Although out 8 small percentage of the total area Of Arizona is under cultivation, yet when the actual amount and productiveness of these lands is considered the place of agriculture among the industries of the Territory is very important. Arizona has and always will have land in excess Of the water supply available for irrigation, without which agriculture can, excepting in rare instances, hardly be considered Out of about 72 99a,OO ceres ir the Territory oaly 5,7Oo,00O acres arc privately owned, of which about 450 900 acres gre under irrigation ditch. For the total amount of land under ditch there is not sufficient water in all instances to insure crops; but in time there can be little doubt that tae storage and development of water will lead to the successful irrigation of much more than the area under ditch.
 The future Of agriculture in Arizona is, with out question, moro than usually good, and fer

What Makes Women Weak |?

The chief contributing cause to wornans weak ness and ill-heah is her ignorance of the important truth that woman's general health depends upon the local womanly health. If women knew and understood this fact they would not attempt the impossible feat of developing the general health while ignoring unhealthy local conditions. Money is wasted in udoctoring" for headache, backache, nervousness, sleepessness and other ills familiar to women, if the treatment of these diseases does not cure the primary disturbing cause-disease of the delicate wonanly organs. It is of course possible that there may be general ill-health in spite of sound local health. But it is absolutely impossible that the general health be good when there are disagreeable and unhealthy drains, inflammation Liberation or female weakness. The first step to sound health is to cure these diseases, and the quickest and surest cure of womanly diseases is accomplished by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.

DANGEROUS IGNORANCE.

her own needs is the danger of ignorance in the treatment of her diseases. That such ignorance abounds is shown by the testimonials published by permission, and often by request of grateful women who wish other sufferers to know the way to health, The result of this ignorance is that women suffer for years, going from practitioner to another,
 trying various medicines snatchng vainly at every straw in their desperate desire for help and healing.
 It is the cure of such women, suffering from dis eases of long standing-diseases which have bafled all physicians and de6ed all treatments-which has placed Dr. Pierces Favorite Prescription in the very front of all put-up medicines designed for the cure
