to the Times from Topeka, Kan, says:

liquor men to tar and feather Mrs Car
RE Nation, the joint smasher. Luster
says that negro tough whom he once
befriended gave him the tip. Marsd al

beating and flags flying and hold
prayer meetings in front of every joint.
Mrs. Nation says that it was the inten-

POLICE OFFICER RESCUED.
officer A. c. Swanson of the Council
Bluffs Force Tells IN Inter-
esting Story.

Council Bluffs, Ia, Feb. 4, 1901 (Spe-
ciaD .-Kind-hearted Officer Swanson,
of the local police force, is very pop
ular in this city. He has lived here
for seventeen years, and has enjoyed
many high offices in social and society
work. He is now vice president of the
''Dannebrog" brotherhood, the larg-
est Danish secret society in America,
which combines benevolent with the
social features. Owing to the con-
slant exposure and many hours on his
feet, which his duty as a Police Off
Ger makes unavoidable, Mr.. Swanson
became the victim Of serious Kidney
and Liver Trouble. He was very bad,
but has entirely recovered. He gives
the story in his own words as follows:
Il have been a sufferer for many
years with Kidney and Liver Trou-
bic, and have tried many remedies,
some of which gave me temporary re-
lief, and others which Were absolutely
worthless. [ began to think that
there was no help for me, when my
nephew gave me a part of a box of
IIOQd L w ulCu ut Idu 1e1I,
saying that it would do no harm to
try them, as they had certainly fixed
him all right. What he gave me
helped me so much that [ felt justified
in purchasing more, and grew slowly
better. It took almost two months to
effect a complete cure, as mine was
a very bad case, but [ can cheerfully
and truthfullv saw that I am we'll
man to-day, and [ am very grateful
that Dodd's Kidney Pills were thus
brought to my notice.
The wonderful cures effected by
Dodd's Kidney Pills in Iowa have
created quite sensation il some
parts of the state. There does not
seem to be any case of Lame Back,
Rheuma tism, Kidney or Bladder Trou-
bic which these wonderful Pills cam
not cure. They are certainly pop
ular here, and the sale through the
local DRUGGISTS is very large

no intention of withdrawing the friars
from the Philippine islands and reit-

THE SITUATION IN CHINA
Commissioner Rockhin Sends a Cable
gram on h Subject.

Washington, July 19.-Special Com
missioner Rockhill has provided the
state department by cable the follow
ing. statement of the present status of
the negotiations of Pekin:
The diplomatic corps at Pekin is en-
gagged in considering the Russian pro-
posals for the eventual increase of the
tariff (maritime customs). A solution
Of the problem is hoped for. The in
demnity at 45O, OOO, 900 taels, and 4 per
cent. interest, has been formerly &C
cepted, and Japan has waived prefer
entail treatment. The formal surren-
der of Pekin to the Chinese authorities
is expected to take place on the 14th
of August"
The date mentioned is the anniver-
sary of the relief of the legationers by
the international force. The Russian
propoSalsreferred to is understood, in
substance. to be an increase from 5 per
cent to 10 per cent of the customs
duties which the Chinese government
may collect from the imports from for
eign countries. 1t is further understood
that this increase is not to take effect
at Ice n perhaps not at all. 1t will
depend upon the of China un-
der the existing system. This PROPOSE
ton is believed to be much less objec-
tionable to Great Britain and Japan, as
we'll as to the United States, than the
original proposition to make an abso-
lutte and immediate increase Of n GUS
toms duties to the extent proposed.
