GERMANY NOT SURPRISED.
Russia's Latest Demand on China is No Surprise to the German
 Government.
NO GERMAN INTERESTS. ARE INVOLVED.
Belief in Berlin that United States and British "Open Door" De- mands of Russia will be DiplO- matically Brushed Aside by the Russian Foreign Office.

Berlin, April 26.-Russia's latest de- German government. Some indications even exist that the foreign office~here was privy to Russia's purposes in ad- vance and expressed indifference to them. This is in exact accord with the policy to resist Russia in nothing in which she is really in earnest. The constant expression in government quarters concerning Manchuria ever since Chancellor Won Buelow's declar- ations in the reichstag, two years ago, has been that Germany has no in- terests there and hence that Germany is simply in a position of calm ob- servance. Won Buelow might find it consistent with this attitude to join with other powers in expressing the hope that trade will have freedom in Manchuria. Russia would not object E,Al EEAos ,Germany's participation in such repres ta1ient What Germany will not do is to join in any energetic pressure at Pekin to prevent China from yielding on every point. The ex- pectation here is that all kinds of written protests, from Great Britain and the United States especially, will be lodged at the Russian foreign of flee and that these will be replied to with ample courtesy and reasonable ness, but that the correspondence will be the only satisfaction the United States and Great Britain will get for their open door demands. Germany is reconciled to Russian mastery in Man churia.

Lincoln, Neb., April 26.-President Roosevelt and party became the guests of the state of Nebraska al 4:45 o'clock Saturday afternoon with the arrival of their special train al Alliance, Neb., and until the party leaves the state, Tuesday morning the president will be accorded one oi the most brilliant and hospitable re captions ever given to a chief execu tive in this state. At the first formal stop, Saturday afternon, at Alliance Gen. Culver and a special reception committee on behlf of Gov. Mickey welcomed the party to the state. It is probable that at no other point in the state will so great stretch o1 country be represented by visitors as at Alliance. Many persons travelled 100 miles overland to see the presi- dent at the western Nebraska town President Roosevelt will spend one hour and 15 minutes in Alliance.

A CONSTANTLY increasing number

A CONSTANTLY increasing number A of physicians prescribe Peruna in
 their regular practice. It has proven it's merits so thoroughly that even the doctors have overcome their prejudice against so called patent medi- cines and recommend it to their patients.
 Peruna occupies unique position in medical science. It is the only internal systemic catarrh remedy known to the medical profession today. Catarrh, as every one will admit, is the cause of one- half the diseases which afflict mankind. Catarrh and catarrhal diseases affiict one-half of the people of United States.
 F. H. Brand, M. D., of Mokena, H., uses Peruna in his practice. The follow ing case is an example of the success he has through the use of Peruna for ca tarrh.
 Dr. Brand says: "Mrs. e. age 2s, had been sufferer from catarrh for the past seven years; could not hear plain and had watery eyes. She came to me almost a physical wreck. She had tried the Copeland cures and various other so-called specialists, and had derived no benefit from them. She told me she did not want to spend any more money on

DISCUSSED AT WASHINGTON.
The Belief Expressed that Man.
 churia Is Lost to China.

The Belief Expressed that Man.
 churia Is Lost to China.
 Washington, April 26.-The Japa- Baron Won Sternberg called upon Secretary Hay Saturday and it is be- lieved that the Manchurian question was discussed. Secretary Hay has no advices from St. Petersburg or Lon don, but it is expected that he will shortly hear from the latter capital through the ambassador here. These conferences and exchanges are all preliminary to the preparation of a protest which is to be made against the Russian demands, but it is not yet clear what form this will take. The protest, however, must be di- rected not to Russia, but to China, who will be warned that the nations which sign the protest will not look with favor on any action by China that will alienate Chinese territory or will confer special advantage on one nation (meaning Russia) over others.
 The tone of the press advices from the European capitals have done much to depress officials here who have la bored so long to preserve the integri- ty of China. It begins to appear tO them that Manchuria is hopelessly lost to China, and the best that can be done now is to save as much as possible from the wreck and there fore the effort will probably be made to procure from Russia a binding promise that the powers will not be entirely deprived of the right to ex- ploit Manchuria commercially. It may be possible to secure the opening of one or two ports such as was pro posed in the pending treaty betweer China and the United States, which will probably have to be amended ir view of these last developments.

1O S ldlo IO OCdI. Thousands of aching backs have been relieved and cured. People are learning that backache pains come from disordered Kidneys, that Deans Kidney Pills cure every Kidney ill-- cure Bladder troubles, urinary de- engagements, Dropsy, Diabetes, Bright's disease.
 Read this testimony to the merit of the greatest of Kidney specifies:
 J. w. Walls, Superintendent of Streets of Lebanon, Kentucky, living on East Main Street in that city, says:
 "With my nightly rest broken, ow- ing to irregularities of the kidneys, suffering intensely from severe pains in the small of my back and through the kidneys, and annoyed by painful passages of abnormal secretions, life was anything but pleasant for me. No amount of doctoring relieved this condition, and for the reason that nothing seemed to give me even tenn porary relief, I became about dis couraged. One day I noticed in the newspapers the case of a man who was afflicted as I was and was cured by the use of Doan's Kidney Pills. His words of praise for this remedy were so sincere that on the strength of his statement I went to the Hugh Murrey Drug Co.'S store and got a box. I found that the medicine was exactly as powerful kidney remedy as represented. I experienced quick and lasting relief. Doan's Kidney pills will prove a blessing to all suf- A ferers from kidney disorders who will 2 give them a fair trial"

The vicissitudes of art are curiously
illustrated by lawsuit in Paris con-
corning portrait by Lawrence, which
besides its association with the great
English portrait painter, brings to
light little romance of an English
Royal Duke in the days of George III
The portrait is OF Mr.. Strachan, Of
Marin, who is stated to have been a
morganatic son of the Duke and a
friend of the artist. How this picture
can have been lost for nearly a century
is unknown. but four years ago a M
Leon, an amateur, bought it at Paris
dealers, and on cleaning it up brought
to light note signed Rose Strachan,"
a daughter of the subject requesting
her residUary legatee to convey the pic
ture to the Comte de Las Casas, whose
grandfather was friend of her fam
lily. The Count has brought action for
the possession of the portrait on the
strength Of this note. but the Court
yesterday decided that it constituted no
title of the nature of property.-Lon-
