OBJECTS TO SUIT.
Ex-TREAsuRER GRIMES WILL
PAY WITHOUT CONFUSION.

Topeka, Jan. 22.-F. E. Grimes. ex-
state treasurer, called upon Gov.
Hoch and told him that it would not
be necessary to bring an action
against him to recover any short
ages. Grimes said if the administra-
ton wanted to put the bond brokers
on record under oath as to getting
clipped coupons, it could be done by
affidavits just as well as by their tes-
timony in court. He believed that
the bond brokers would all make aft
davits that they got the coupons, as
their letters state, and that afidavits
are just as binding as testimony. At
ter these affidavits were secured and
filed. he would make good the re-
mainder of the shortage under mis- adj
m1nistration. He said the affidavit
plan would save him heavy costs for
attorney fees and witness fees that
would necessarily follow if suit were
instituted. 1t was hard enough on
him to pay a shortage which he didn't
owe, personally, without piling up a
lot of unnecessary court costs. He
was willing to waive the statute of
limitations and exemption laws and
give up his home and everything else
he possessed, if necessary. \ to meet

THREE FRENCH SHIP OFF
VENEZUELAN COAST

Washington, jan %. Three
French warships are now off the We
nezuelan coast prepared to deliver
Castro's future treatment of NJ. Taig-
ny, the French representative at Cara
cas-, by a naval demonstration in
Venezuelan waters. Two additional
warships will join them as soon as
they can make the trip across the
Atlantic. Until the demonstration,
has been initiated the French gov
eminent will share with the presi-
dent and Secretary Root the knowl
edge of the exact form which this
expression of her diSpleasure at
President Castro's action will take.
Meantime the delicacy OF the situa-
ton at Caracas is greatly increased
by news which has recently reached
here from the Venezuelan capital re-
garding the attitude President Cas-
tro now appears to be assuming to-
ward Mr. Russell, the American min
lister. Unless this attitude is radi-
cally modified it may be necessary to
dispatch an American war ship even
nearer the Venezuelan coast than has
already been planned
President Castro, it is said, will be
given to understand that any treat
ment of an American representative
such as that accorded NJ. Taigney will
not be tolerated by the Washington
government.

EIGHT WERE FX: CUTED.
PAcIFIcATION OF BALTIC PROV
INcEs GOES MERELY ON.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 20.-Two fur
Their naval battalions were dispatched
to the Baltic provinces to crush the
revolt in the iclands of the coast re-
gions.
Count White received a telegram
from General Sollogub. governor gen
eral of the Baltic provinces, saying
that the pacifcation of Esthonia and
Livonia was progressing satisfactorily
but that it was tagging in Courland.
Over twenty of the principal leaders
of the insurrection, the governor gen.
eral said, had been apprehended and
eight of them executed. The tele-
gram says it is reported that Riga is
again unsafe, owing to an influx of
agitators from the country districts.
The governor general says his judg-
ment in executing the eight leaders
of the insu .ection has been justified
by an incident which occurred lately
at Riga, when six armed men broke
into the Waterman and carried off a
cash box and several documents.

CHINA TO RETALIATE
PRIVILEGES OF FOREIGNERS IN
CELESTIAL KINGDOM CUT.
MODELLED ON GERMAN SYSTEM.
Treaty Ports Are Found to be Foreign
Territory-WiIl Retain Control of
Telephones and Many Other Public
Works.

Pekin, Jan. 22.-It is now propos-
ed by the Chinese government that
all foreign settlements in China to
be opened in future must differ in
status from the old treaty ports. 1t
is pointed out that these treaty ports
are practically foreign territory, and
that therefore they are able to dis
pute the Chinese claims for damages,
as was instanced in the riots at
Shanghai, where China was debar-
red from maintaining troops to keep
order.
1t is the plan of the government to
greatly restrict the privileges of for
eigners.
The throne promulgated regula-
tioMs for the administration of the
recently opened port of Chinamanfu.
These are modelled somewhat on the
German system in operation at
Kiachau and will be enforced in all
new settlements. They provide that
no lands can be purchased by for
eigners, that the leases of lands to
foreign tenants shall be restricted
to thirty years, and that the rentals
shall be fixed by the government 1t
is further provided that the Chinese
authorities shall control the policy of
these settlements, levy the taxes and
control the postal and telegraph sys-
tens, and the public works. These
rules are to apply to the opening of
Manchuria by the Chinese under the
treaty with Japan.
The throne has commanded thu
viceroys to submit reports regarding
the numbers, and nationalities Of the
missionaries in their districts.

treasure, and it is this that Turner
and Freshwater claim to have found.

LOST EYESIGHT
Through Coffee Drinking

: Some people question the statements
that coffee hurts the delicate nerves
of the body. Personal experience with
thousands proves the general state
ment true and physicians have records
of great numbers of cases that add to
the testimony.
The following is from the Rockford,
ILL.,, Register Gazette:
DR.. William Langhorst of Aurora
has been treating one of the queerest
cases of lost eyesight ever in history.
The patient is o. A. Leach of Beach
county, and in the last four months he
had doctored with all of the specialists
about the country and has at last re-
turned home with the fact impressed
on his mind that his case is incurable.
A portion of the optic nerve has
been ruined, rendering his sight SO
limited that he is unable to see any
thing before him, but he can see plain
ly anything at the side of him. There
Meade County news. [volume] (Meade, Kan.) 1900-1918, 1906-01-25

have been but few cases of its kind
before, and they have been caused by
whisky or tobacco. Leach has never
used either, but has been a great cof-
fee drinker, and the specialists have
decided that the case has been caused
by this. Leach stated himself that
for several years he had drank three
cups of coffee for breakfast, two at
noon and one at night. According to
the records of the specialists of this
country this is the first case ever
caused by the use of coffee.
The nerve is ruined beyond aid and
his case is incurable. The fact that
makes the case queer one is that the
sight forward has been lost and the
side sight has been retained. Accord
ing to the doctors statement. the
young man will have to give up cof-
fee or the rest of his sight will fol-
low and the entire nerve be ruined

NO MAN IS STRONGER THAN
HIS STOMACH.

Let the greatest athlete have dyspepsia
and his muscles would soon fail. Physi-
cal strength is derived from food. If a
man has insufficient food he loses strength
II he has no food he dies. Food is con-
verified into nutrition through the stom-
ach and bowels. 1t depends on the
strength of the stomach to what extent
food eaten is digeSted and assimilated
People can die of starvation who have
abundant food to eat. when the stomach
and its associate organs of digestion and
nutrition do not perform their duty.
Thus the stomach is really the vital or
gan of the body. If the stomach is weak"
the body will be weak also, because it is
upon the stomach the body relies for its
strength. And as the body, considered as
a whole, is made up of its several men,
berS and organs. so the weakness of the
body as consequence of weak Stom-
ach Will be distributed among the or
ganS which compose the body. If the
body is weak because it is ill-nourished
that physical weakness will be found in
all the organs-heGrt. liver. kidneys. etc.
The liver Will lie torpid and inactive,
giving rise to biliouSneSS. loss of appetite,
weak nerves, feeble or irregular action of
heart. palpitation. dizziness, headache.
backache and kindred disturbances and
weaknesses.
