SEIZE CHINESE TOWN.
German Troops Occupy Haichou in
Province of shantung-Com-
plications Threatened.

Toxic, May 17.-It is reported that
Germany has dispatched a force OF
troops and occupied Haichou, in the
southern portion OF the province OF
Shantung, where they raised and sa-
luted the German flag. Haichou is on
an extensive bay, north of the old
channel of the Hoang river.
London, May 17.-International COM
plications in the far east-troubles of
a most serious character-are threat
ened, in the opinion of foreign Office
officials here, by Germany's action in
landing force Of troops to occupy
Haichou, in the southern portion of
Shantung, about 100 miles south of
the kaisers possessions around Kiao-
chou bay. A rush by the European
powers to seize choice portions of
China, which may now result in the
partition of the empire, so narrowly
avoided after the Chinese-Japanese war,
is regarded as likely If the Germans
should insist on extending their terri
tory, as is indicated by the reported
seizure.
London, May 1.-THE correspondent
at Tsingtau of the Daily Telegraph, de-
nying the reported German occupation
of Naichou, says the truth is that the
firm of Diederichen & Jebsen is now rum
ming regular steamers from Tsingtau to
Haichou, and as these are strange
waters, German gunboats are taking
soundings.

Unusual Pension Ruling

Springfield, o.. May 1S.-Mrs. David
kiZer, Of this city, has been granted a
pension of $S per month, but will not

languages, the emperor specifically d.
rected tho formulation of the necessary
regulations and laws within six months.
These measures. 1t 10 understood, will
be followed by the Introduction of local
self-government through the zemstvo
system. The steps taken will un-
doubtedly have immense influence upon
the population of Poland and will prac-
tically meet the demands of the rational
reformers who really recognize that the
restoration Of the kingdom of Poland is
an idle and visionary dream.
The committee of ministers has gone
no further with the Jewish question
than to grant freedom of residence to
the artisan class. The emperor's action
has produced a splendid impression
among the reform elements which are
expressing the highest satisfaction.

NO EXTRA SESSION.
EPrssidsnt, Satisfied on Question Of
Rate Legislation, Will Not
Call One.

Washington, May IL. - President
Roosevelt's decision to make southern
trip in October is believed to settle per-
manently the question of an extra ses-
sion Of congress. Before the president
left Washington for the southwest his
mind was made up, apparently irrevoca-
oily, to assemble the Fifty-ninth con-
sress In extraordinary session not later
than October l, for the purpose of enact
ing railroad rate legislation along lines
that would insure permanent reform for
many of the evils of railway manage
ment. He was only dissuaded from call
ing an extra session Immediately follow
ing the adjournment Of the Fifty-c 'ghth
congress in March by promises of lead
ing republican senators and representa-
tlves to support his legislative pro-
gramme so far ia it applied to railroad
rates If the call was delayed until Oc-
tober. Now the president appears to
have voluntarily changed his pro-
gramme, and instead of calling congress
here in. October he will make a pro-
longed tour of the southern states which
will keep him on the road at least three
weeks. He may decide to issue the call
for the list of November, but this is pure
ly conjectural.
Senators and representatives who
keep in touch with his purposes are in
clined to believe that there will be no
extra session; that the president is sat-
lsfied that the Fifty-ninth congress will
heed the demand of the people for satis-
factory railroad legislation and that a
bill can be passed as speedily at the reg
ular session as it could at special ses-
sion. He has received positive assur-
ances from Senators Elkins, Cullom,
Dolliver, Clapp, Kean and other infuen-
tial members of the committee on inter-
state commerce that bill will be re-
ported to the senate at the beginning of
the next congress, and that it will en-
body many needed reforms in keeping
with the presidents suggestions. All
this is very gratifying to Mr.. Roosevelt.
1t seems to assure the passage of satis-
factory bill next winter and the presi-
dent does not feel that he ought to ask
for more than that.

Examiner P. M. Kerst has closed the
Northern Pacific bank, state institu-
tion, for the purpose, as stated in no.
tice posted on the door, "of making a
thorough examination of its affairs"
The immediate cause for closing the

lack Of sufficient cash on hand. The

a surplus of $4,000. Its deposits

bilities to 100000. 1t is believed that

When physician tells woman, SUI
fering from ovarian or womb trouble
that an operation is necessary it, of
course, frichtens her.
The very thought Of the operating
table and the knife strikes terror to
her heart. As one woman expressed
it. when told by her physician that she
must undergo an operation, she felt
that her death l.ncil had sounded.
Our hospital are full of women
who ere there for ovarian or Won b
operations.
1t is quite true that these troubles
may reach stage where an operation
is the only resource, bit such eases are
much rarcr than IS generally supposed,
because a great many women have
been cured by Lydia f. Pinkham S
Vegetable Compound after the doctors
had said an operation must be per-
formed. In fact. up 10 the point where
the knife must be used to secure instant
relief. this medicine is certain to help.
The strongest and most grateful
statements possible to make come from
women who. by taking Lydia f. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, have
escaped serious operations.
