A LASTING EFFECT.
This Evidence Should Prove
Every Claim.

Relief from the pains and aches Of a
bad back is always welcome to every
backache sufferer, but to cure a lame,
weak or aching back is what's wanted.
Cure 1t so it will stay cured. 1t can be
done. Here's the strongest evidence to
prove it.
Mr.. II. P. Smith, blacksmith, of Elm
street, Amesbury, Mass, says: ''Mrs.
Smith, from cold which settled in her
loins, suffered so severely from backache
that she was unable to attend to the or
binary household duties, often finding it
impossible to even make bed for three
months. had read great many state
ments of residents of Amesbury who pos
itively declared that Dosn' S Kidney Pills
had cured them of backache and other
symptoms of kidney complaint. This led
me to make some inquiries, and as re-
suit Mrs. Smith took a thorough course
of the treatment. 1t cured her. 1t is sol
long ago that am confident the results
are permanent. We never lose an oppor-
tunity of advising others who suffer from
either weakened or over-excited kidneys

know of scores in and around Amesbury
who have taken our advice ard were not
only surprised but gratifed at the bene.

PAYMENTPLANF FIXED
Powers at Last Agree Regard
ing Chinese Indemnity.
PAYMENT OF BONDS TO BEGIN IN 1902.
IL Is Expected China Will Raise
Twenty-three Million TaeIs An
nualIy md Cancel Entire
Debt by 10.

WASHINGTON, July 23.-The state
department has just received a dispatch
from Commissioner Rockhill, at Picking,
announcing that plan for the payment
of the indemnity to the powers by the
Chinese government finally had been
adopted. The amortization of the bonds
to be issued will begin in 1902, and the
plan contcmplatcs the entire liquidation
of both principal and interest by 1910.
1t is expected that China will raise
$4,000, 600 taels annually. This sum is to
be used to pay the interest on the bonds
and to form IA sinking fund for the ulti-
mate liquidation of the principal.
Mr.. Rockhll's dispatch was very brief
and did not 20 into any details. From
their knowledge of the general basis upon
which the ministers have been working,
however, the state department officials
have a general idea of the conclusions
which have been reached. The total
amount of indemnity which China Will
have to pay will aggregate InOooO,OOO
taels and bear per cent annual interest.
1t is estimated that of the 23,OOO,U0O
taels which China is to pay the first year
100000 tacls will be required for in
terest and that 5.OOO.OOO taels will be APP
piled TO the sinking fund.
Each year the interest will grow less
and the amount set aside for thc sinking
fund will increase, SO that by 1910, when
the bonds are to he hquidated. the inter-
est will be almost normal The sources
Of revenue for the payment of the indem-
nifty as understood here are to be derived
from the gabel or salt tax, the maritime
customs and the likin tax, a portion to be
taken from each.
The principle of the payment of the in
