When child I had a very severe at
tack of Diphtheria which came near prov
ing fatal. Upon recovery the glands Of the
neck we're very much enlarged, and after
the free use of iodine, the right one was
reduced to its normal size, but the left
one continued to grow-very slowly at
first, until it was about the size of a goose
egg, which began to press on the wind
pipe, causing difficult breathing, and be-
came very painful. An incision was made
and a large quantity of pus discharged.
The gland was removed, or as much as
could with safety be taken out. For ten
years wore alittle piece Of cloth about an
inch long in my neck to keep the place
open During this time had to have it
cut open by the doctor every time took
cold or the opening clogged. In the Spring
or early Summer Of 1884 I was persuaded
by my wife to use S. S. S., which did,

Cleveland, Aug. 17.-John D. Rookie
feller has decided to try the Knelpp
cure. After science and medicine have
failed to restore his health, he has
turned to nature for relief. and this
morning he took his first treat
ment."
It was soon after dawn, when the
lawn was still wet with dew, that Mr.
Rockefeller was seen to come from the
kitchen door of his Forest Hill home.
Around his form he drew bathrobe
and shivered as the chill morning air
toyed about his bare feet. Plung1ng
boldly on, Mr.. Rockefeller walked
over the grass, apparently not caring
who saw him. Possibly he thought
that the early hour would prevent Gu
rious eyes from prying, but he neglec-
ted to count on the milkman, the news
carrier and a few belated pedestrians,
who stopped on their way to witness
the spectacle.
Although Mr.. Rockefeller was once
a barefooted boy, his feet had long
grown tender by their encasement In
modern footwear, and he was heard
once or twice to murmer "Ouch!" as
he stepped upon rough places. This
convinced the interested spectators
that Mr.. Rockefeller was not walking
in his sleep, as was suggested by
cabman who stopped to witness the
performance.
After half an hours vigorous exer-
else Mr.. Rockefeller returned to his
room. Beads of perspiration stood on
his brow and his face was ruddy col
or He appeared in excellent spirits
and seemed to enjoy the exercise.

noon was General Wheeler, who took
occasion to compliment Iowa for her
service in the civil war. His talk was
rather miscellaneous. He said that our
country was rather slow to take UP
with new inventions in fire arms and
the like, saying that we did not use
smokeless powder in the Spanish AM
erican war, while the enemy did. Ne
gotiations are now in progress with
japan to furnish that country some
Of the weapons Of war exhibited yes
terday. DR.. S. N. MCLEAN, the in

here, spoke on the Evolution of Fire
Arms" He dwelt for a considerable
time on home "reminiscences and then
devoted some time on the subject as
signed him. His new rifle was exhib-
tied on the platform and few shots
fired from the stage to the rear into y
sand pit. After the addresses the guns
were exhibited at target practice. The
shots were fired into hill on the D.

the questions involved in r.he surrender
of the Eastern Chinese railway, which
was considered by the peace confer
ence yesterday, and also regarding the
general question of the restoration OF
Chinese sovereignty in the province,
says:
Notwithstanding the secrecy SO
strictly observed regarding the discus
sion of the peace conference, it is now
known that the second article dis
cussed. concerning the question of re-
turning Manchuria to China and that
the article had been agreed upon. So
it is understood that Manchuria is go
ing to be restored under the charming
administration of China.
For fear of Russia's enlargement
she has been prevented from complet-
ing her work of civilization in that
province where she spent millions OF
Russian rubles, retaining in return on
ly unpleasant memories, and now they
say that it is better to give Manchurla
to nobody than to Russia. for to re-
turn Manchuria to China means to re-
turn that province to the state OF par
barism 1t is, however, asked il. even
the railroad which cuts this province
in three portions. and which should be
be an instrument of civilization and OF
development of her riches will be
abandoned to Chinese neglect.
with regard to the Harbin-Liao-
tung railway line the institution OF
Chinese administration can be UNDER
stood, as this line has no strategic
legitimate value except for China. But

impossible for the Museovite empire

Europe by way of the 4Amur. SO the
civilized world welcomed the decision
of Russia to build railway thru Man.
churia, Russia made this immense ef-
fort which. considering the policy OF
the open door. will be of great and
equal advantage to the commerce OF
the whole world. 1t is therefore Just
that Russia should have the material
guaranty that that railway line should
not run the least risk of being de-
stroyed or cut by brigands or that it
should suffer in case OF misunder-
standing with China. The commerce
of the world will gain very much II
japan should be intrusted with the
guarding Of the southern railway lire

General John F. Weston. commissary
general, will be promoted to major
general of the line on the retirement
of Major General Randall Oct. 8. This

he Discusses the Subject Of Federal
Control.
Oyster Bay, Aug. 17.-Federal sup
ervision Of insurance was the subject
of a conference at Sycamore Hill yes
terday.
The parties to the conference were
the president, Senator Dryden. Of New
Jersey, president of the Prudential
Insurance Company; and James NJ
Beck. former assistant attorney gem
eral of the United States, now special
counsel of the Mutual Life Insurance
Company of New York.
So important was the conference
that Mr.. Beck hired special train in
order not to miss it.
While no announcement was made
of the results of the conference, 1t is
said that President Roosevelt will dis
cuss the question of insurance in his
Forthcoming message to congress in the
light Of developments in the last six
months. He probably will recommend
the enactment of legislation providing
for federal supervision of interstate
insurance.
In Favor Of Federal Supervision.
Following the conference Senator
Dryden said:
I'VE discussed the whole subject of
federal supervision of the insurance
business, and our talk was satisfactory.
Personally, / am heartily in favor of
such supervision by the national gov
ernment, because it would insure to
companies doing business in several
or in many states well defined and
we'll considered set of regulations and
definite policy.
Il introduced in the senate at the
last session a measure providing for
supervisory control of interstate insur-
ance by the bureau Of corporations.
81 expect to reintroduce the measure
early in the next congress, perhaps in
slightly different form. The princi-
pie Of the new measure, however, will
be the same as that of the first bill.
Lack of Harmony in Present Laws.
my opinion is that a large majority
of insurance companies will favor ma :
tional supervision. Under existing
arrangements we are obliged to con-
form to different laws and regulations
in practically every state. What in
surance companies want is uniform.
harmonious and continuing policy. and
that we believe Is to be had only thru
national supervision.

SOLDIERS QUIT UNCLE SAM.
Fifty Resent Arduous Work and De-
sert at Fort Smelling.

st. Paul, Mimi, Aug. IA whole
sale desertion of privates from the ar
my post at Fort Smelling was reported
at army headquarters here yesterday,
when it was announced that about fif-
ty privates had left the post. The
cause of the desertion is said to have
been a disinclination on the part Of
the men to do manual labor. The de-
sertions occurred shortly after Aug. l.,
when the men were paid.
The government recently purchased
large tract of land to extend the
rifle range at the post and instead Of
hiring common laborers to do the work
impressed the privates to do the level
ing and grading. The strenuous job
placed before the men and the hot
weather, it is said, caused the mems
patriotic spirit to wilt and they deser-
ted. None have been apprehended.
