II is well known that terrible rheumatism,
sciatica, and neuralgia cause more helpless
ness, acute suffering, and agony, than any OF
the other diseases that afflict humanity. The
great medicinal virtues of Paine's Celery Com
pound make it the only trustworthy specific
for the cure of all forms of rheumatism and
neuralgia. Thousands of strong testimonial
letters from the most prominent people of the
land, prove that Paine's Celery Compound
has banished these terribly fatal troubles when
all other treatment has failed. Mrs. Mar
garet Bethel, of Brainerd, Mimi, after thirty
years of agonizing tortures had desire 10 end
her life, if it was the will of Heaven; she al
m9st prayed for the time to lay it down.
Heaven-directed, she made use of Palne's
Celery Compound, and is enjoying true life
once more. She says
ssFor thirty years I have been great SUI
ferer from neuralgia in the head, and also
with rheumatism in the whole body. began
taking Paine's Celery Compound and soon
found I was much better. Before taking the
Compound, my life was such burden that l
almost prayed to lay it down. l was bedtast
every two weeks with horrible pain in the
head, back, and neck, until was almost
crazed. I am able to do harder work and
more of it today than for twenty-five years. l
am really enjoying lie again, thanks to
Paine's Celery Compound. l am satisfied
that my life has been prolonged many years

PRINCESS RADzIWILL's SUIT.
She Seeks to Recover $4,000, 600
From Estate of Cecil Rhodes.

London, Nov. 4.-Princess Radziwill
has issued a writ demanding 81, 600, :
900 from LORD Roseberry, Earl Grey
and Messrs. Alfred Belt, DR.. Jane
son, L. L. Mitchell and B. A. Hawks
ley, trustees of the estate of the late
Cecil Rhodse, under an agreement
alleged to have been made on or about
June 20, 1899. between herself and
Mr.. Rhodes. This is a sequel to the
arrest and Imprisonment of the Prin-
cess at Cape Town in 1902 on the
charge of forging Rhodes's signaturs
to bills for several thousands Of
pounds. The case, which doubtless
will prove sensational, is expected to
lead to many exposures. The friends
of Princess Radziwill say she possesses
documents of high political import
ance, which were. suppressed during
the trial at Cape Town and which will
he produced in Court, dealing with
South African matters, particularly
with the Jameson raid, and the alleg-
ed completely of former Colonial Secre-
tary Chamberlain therein.
The Princess's lawyers refuse to fur
1ish particulars Of her claim, but they
assert that the document on which
they base their claim is regualr con-
tract, in writing.

Suicide Clause Valid.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. Sin a
decision in the United States district
court here, Judge John E. Phillips has
held that insurance companies may en-
force the anti-suicide clause where
previously entered into by the insured.
The decision was in the case Of James
Whitfield, a well-known sporting edi-
tor, who killed himself. Whitfield in
sured for SIS, OCO, receiving policy
that contained clause specifying that
$500 only should be recovered in case
of suicide. Although the statutes of
Missouri declare that insurance COM
panies may not make suicide defense
in refusing to pay a policy, Judge
Phillips held that "as the pleading of
the contract in question voluntarily
entered into by the parties goes merely
to the question of the amonnt of the
recovery and not to defeat recovery,
my conviction is that the plaintiff is
justly entitled to recover the sum Of
$780,

The CHINESE ENRAGED.
Russia Insults and imposes Upon
China, but the Government is
Helpless.

Pekin, Nov. paul Lessar, the
Russian minister to China, has report
ed the demand of Russia for the exc
cution of Major Wong, who recently
decapitated noted brigand in Rus
sian employ, and the dismissal OF
Yuen, the taotai of Mukden, who is
Wong's superior officer. The Chinese
officials here are unable to inform the
Associated Press whether Russia pro-
poses to withdraw her troops from
Mukden and relase the Tartar general
of that city, now held in custody in
his yamen, if these demands are
granted.
The Chinese are more enraged at
the Russian proceedings at Mukden
than they have been by any event
since the capture of Pekin. Some of
the hot headed members Of the coun-
Gil have advised the Dowager Empress
to declare war on Russia and send
troops to release the Tartar general,
whose detention at Mukden, growing
out of the decapitation of the Chinese
bandit, who had enlisted in the Rus
sian service. but who fell into the
hands of the Chinese after the Rus
SLAMS had evacuated Mukden, wounds
Chinese susceptibilities, since it is
considered not only an Insult to a
high official, but as insulting to the
Chinese Government itself. Better in
formed officials, however, realize the
helplessness of China and the madness
of attempting to 60 to war with Rus
sia. Their counsels have hitherto pre-
vailed, though there is much baseless
war. talk in the native press and
among the younger Chinese officials.

TOM JOHNSON TELLS THE STORY.
The Reasons Why the Democrats Could
Not Win in the State of ohio--Aan-
mas Prosperity Slogan.

CLEvELAND,{ Nov. 4.-Ttm L..
johnson, the defeated Democratic
candidate for governor of Ohio, to-
night gave out statement>relative
to the election in this State, which
says: 1.-The result in Ohio is due to
several causes of which the chief was
the successful attempt or Senator
Hanna to impress upon the people
Of this State that a continuance of
undisturbed business conditions de-
manded his return to the senate.
I'm the last few weeks Of the cam
paign. the closing of mills and dis
chai ging Of thousands of workmen,
together with bank and business fail
ures throughout the country, gave
color to Senator Hanna's clam that
the campaign in Ohio involved ma
tionel issues OF more immediate i'm
portance than the betterment Of our
local condition.
"I hope that Senator Hanna's
statement that his reelection will
preserve the industrial and business
situation from disturbance will be
verified and that confidence, which
he believes to be the basis Of prosper
ity, will be preserved.
''The Republican party in this
campaign used fund larger in
amount shan any other similar fund
in the history of State politics. This
campaign fund was furnished b;
privileged interests throughout the
country, they not unnasurally feel
ing that Senator Hanna was their
national representative. The mag
nitude of this fund enabled the Re
| publican committee to give the
! widest possible circulation to their
claim that business prosperity de-
pended upon Senator Hanua's re-
election. x
dous scale was expected. The ut
familiarity Of a portion of the peo-
pie of the State with the principles
Of the platform was understood. We
knew that the people of the State
could not be bought and were pre-
pared to convince them of the truth
of our principles, but that Senator
Hanna's reelection could be identi-
fed with the maintenance of busi-
ness prosperity. and that the fear of
the people Of return to hard times
could be successfully appealed to,
was not anticipated, and this more
than anything else accounts for the
result
