AMERICA IS IN EARNEST
Determined to Bring Russia TO Better Terms
in Nanohuria.
WILL NOT SACRIFICE RIGHTS OF TRADE
In order 60 Remain in Field as
Commercial Competitor a Pro-
test IL Also Addressed
TO China.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-Negotiations be-
tween the United States government and
the government Of Russia relative to Man
churia are progressing with the exhibition
OF a great deal OF energy on our part,
though the exchanges are in the kindliest
spirit.
The attitude Of the Russian government
in this matter has shifted materially since
the beginning Of the negotiations. A treaty
was drawn UP originally between Russia
and China providing for the evacuation OF
Manchuria by the Russian troops, who have
been in military possession OF the country
since the early days of the Boxer outbreak.
This treaty contained a great many rather
complex guarantees in Russia's favor, but
a ~singularly Objectionable proviso was one
placing the Russo-Chinese bank in practical
control Of the commercial and material in
terests Of Manchuria.
would crowd Out Americans.
It was quickly perceived that the pro-
vision, IL executed, practically would ex-
clude Americans from competition In Man
churia, which is very valuable as a market
for our manufactured %cottons. Therefore,
Russia's attention was directed to our ex-
listing rights under treaty with China and
also to her own promises made directly to
the United States government during the
early days Of the Russian occupation OF
Manchuria. Apparently our representations
were eftectual, for the Objectionable proviso
touching the Russo Chinese bank was with
drawn from the treaty. and that conven>
tion, save in some minor respects, was re-
garded as unobjectionable.
However, it has been discovered that the
Russian government, following a practice
known in European diplomacy, has drawn
up a secret agreement with China confer
ring upon the Russo Chinese bank all the
powers contained in the original treaty
proviso. Therefore the United States gov
eminent has renewed its objections, not
only addressing itself to the Russian gov
eminent. but making a very strong protes,
to the government Of China 1t is expressly
declared that by so doing our government
has acted independently, though It is a
matter of common knowledge that other
great commercial powers whose interests
in Manchuria are almost as considerable
as our own have addressed similar repre-
sensations to both China and Russia.

TO THE SUFFERING PUBLIOi It is with a feeling Of extreme gratt-
tude and thankmness and a humane desire to benefit others that / write out
my own experience in the use Of Prof Edward E Phelps wonderful prepara-
ton, called "Paines Celery Compound" Owing to fall from q horse several
years ago. I became q nervous invalid, and last year I entered a hospital as
a patient, where I was operated on by q famous New York surgeon.
The surgical operation was successful but nervous prostraton followed.
A summer in Newport with the best medical attendance, failed to restore my
nerves to their normal condition. Twas absolutely unable to digest any solid
food, and this weak condition of my digestive organs combined with insomnia
caused the deepest depression. A constant tenderness and soreness in the
region Of my stomach, with a dull headache and extreme weakness, created a
feeling of hopelssness, from which I was unable to rise.
It was in this melancholy frame of mind that I ohanced to meet q Boston
lawyer, who said to me, II was in almost the condition that you are now in, and
after spending hundreds of dollars without receiving any benefit I was induced
by ~ friend to give Paines Celery Compound a trial, which I did, and it cured
me completely when everything else had failed"
Twas rather skeptcal about trying prepared medicine but I ordered a
bottle from my druggist and began to take it according to directions. Much to
my surprise slept aOundly at night and did not wake in the morning with the
usual dull headache. Then, to-, I developed an appetite for solid food and soon
was able to digest a course dinner without any unpleasant sensations. I am
now completely restored to health after about two months use Of the Compound

Not According to
Contract
eve Pay For Sand and
Call It Stag"
Charged Barberton's Bslliserent
Councilman McCarty.
Especial Correspondence.l

Especial Correspondence.)
Barberton, Aug. 10.-Councilman
McC,arty made strenuous but ineffec'
tual effort to hold up the pay roll at
the Council meeting, Monday night
There were several things to which Mr..
McCarty objected. One was 40 cent
bill for street car fare presented by
the sanitary policeman. What's that
bill for anyway, I'd like to know"
said Mr.. McCarty. Sanitary Policeman
Brown who was present resented the
manner In which the question was put
and responded curtly that the bill rep
resented street car fare which was the
reason he had put 1t in as such and ex-
planned that he had made couple OF
trips to Akron to notify some property
holders residing there of sanitary meas
ures whichit was necessary for them
to take Immediately.
Mr.. Morton thought that the sanitary
policeman showed good forethought in
looking after the matter personally,
but Mr. McCarty said that it woulu
be better IL the forethought extended
to other things and intimated that it
did not.
Another thing that did not suit Mr..
McCarty was the incorporation in the
pay. ordinance Of S16S5, the amount OF
the 9Th estimate on the Tuscarawas
ave. paving ''How about the n. o.
7. company" demanded Mr.. McCarty.
Have they paid their share?' and
again the helligerent Councilman took
up the question over which the Coun-
Gil has spent hours and hours wrang-
ling, as to whether they ought to know
how much and when the N o. 7. COM
pany paid their street assessment,
another thing" said Mr.. McCarty,
'the street paying has not been done
according to contract anyhow, and the
contractors do not even pretend to
be living up to their contract. The roll
er is not Of the specified weight, and
We are paying for sand and calling 1t
Stag. The engineer says the streets
suit him but it don't suit the people,
and IL the engineer don't look after
these things the Council must"
President Edison Bishop then made
the statement which was borne out
by other Councilmen, that there was
more Stag on the streets than the con.
tract calls for and the ordinance was
finally adopted as read, Mr.. McCarty
voting no.

THE PEOPLE
4 WILL DECIDE
Whether the Public Library b
Opened or Not.
Especial Correspondence.)

Especial CorrespondenceO
Barberton, Aug. 10.--Attorney Chas.
zimmerman, president If the Library
Board, appeared before the Council
Monday evening, and asked that a
resolution be passed by the Council
to submit the matter Of issuing bonds
to secure funds for the public library
to vote of the people.
Said Mr.. zimmerman: "The Library
Board does not consider 1t wise to
create any more expense unless it is
known that the money is forthcoming
to pay for it. We have already con-
tdacted $3.50 worth of debts which with
the librarians salary will make 1000
Should the people decide to bond the
city for this purpose I would suggest
which will pay all indebtedness and
the running expenses until February,
1904, when the funds can be secured
by taxation. 1t is now up to the
people to decide whether the library
shall be opened for the next 1S months
or not"
The Council authorized the Solicitor
to prepare a resolution to submit the
matter to vote of the people.

but had received no satisfaction from
them.
Mr.. Morton thought the matter
should be attended to Immediately

to who is to pay for the work. We
can decide that afterwards. The work
must be done immediately"
'You can't get this done for nothing

APPLAUSE
For an Akron Singer
Miss Ida Bell Farnum Appears at
Lakeside.

Lakeside casino was packed to the
doors last evening. All ladies pres
ent We're presented a souvenir of fine
perfume A bill of vaudeville that is
first-class from beginning to end
claims attention this week. 1t is a
sort Of all-star bill all through. Das-
sett, the "Rube" juggler, made de-
cided hit. His feats are different
from the ordinary jugglers.
Ida Belle Farnum, the Akron So
Iprano, was most favorably received.
She made fine appearance, was very
graceful and sang sweetly. The ap-
plause that greeted her testified the
appreciation of the audience. She
has rich soprano voice and her songs
were listened to breathlessly.
Fred Warren and AL Blanchard in
witty dialogue, some real comedy and
good songs, made one of the hits of the
show Both men We're in good voice
and fairly touched the funny bone of
their auditors.
The McCann family is composed Of
dancers. They have been here be-
fore and their appearance last even
ing was the signal for welcoming
round of applause. They deserved it
as they have the faculty of getting
around on their feet little liveller
than anyone who has been at the
casino this season. The children are
favorites.
Thomas Leo and Jessie Chapman
appear in a comedy sketch. during
which Leo dies some excellent work
upon three bars arranged so as TO
form three sides Of square. He is
that rare thing among vaudeville per-
formers--a "Rube" acrobat who is
really funny.
John Mayon and company closed
the bill with comedy sketch that
made hit. The work of Miss Rose
Parker deserves special mention.

THE BOYS IN 0LlvE-mlx.

(The War department announces
that hereafter the army will be clad
in a cloth of olive-mix, instead of
blue.)
Lay down the pen; pour out the ink;
The songs have all been sung;
The soldier boys not what he was
When you and were young.
What poet in the country now
Can rapt attention Ak
With sentimental verses on .
"The boys in olive-mixT !,
The 'boys in blue" inspired US all;
So did the "boys in gray"
The blue" went very well with "do,"
And gray" combined with day"
But now the list of rhyming words
Is down to five or six
No one can thrill his readers with
"The boys in olive-mix."
The poets we'll may rise In arms,
Both angered and ,dismayed. 49,,
In these commercial days of ours
War has been made a trade,
A thing of balance sheets and tools,
OF shovels and Of picks, n9i'
Now, who could touch our feelings
with
"The boys in olive-mix?"
For "blue" we had our Through" and
true"
And 'who," and woo" and "you,"
And gray" had May" and clay" and
SAY
All words in "ay'' would do.
But now the soldler-poets must
Turn to all sorts of tricks,
And then they'll make failure with
"The boys in olive-mix."
