Shanghai. Nov 9.-Yuan Shi Ka
has stopped trying to make terms be
tween the emperor and the rebels. He
is on his way to Peking, reports from
Hankow say. Accompanying him il
his own picked guard, without which
he refuses to stir anywhere
The precaution is generally consid
cred wise one, as the Manchus un
doubtedly deem him primarily respon
sible for the rebellion and will kill
him at the first opportunity.
1t is suspected that Yuan will pro
claim himself dictator following his
arrival at the capital He is under
stood to believe that by no other
means can order be restored in China
The rebels regard him as a grave dan,
ger to their cause and he is in dan
ger from them as well as from the
ManchuS.

Gov. H. c.. Warmoth's sugar

consisting of five plantations and
a large central factory, operated
under the name of the Magnolia
Sugar & Ry. Co., have been
seized by creditors for an indebt-
edness of $275, 900. This misfor-
tune was the result of the accu-
mutation of unfavorable seasons,
together with great damage suf-
fered by the overfloWal of three
of his plantations by a crevasse

break. It is to be hoped that the

Goes to Charitable Insti-

New Orleans, Jan. {. -The
crusade being made by the in
spectors of the Game Commission
against hunters and fishermen
who violate the law relative to
making shipments without the
necessary tag, proved fruitful of
further results Thursday morn
ing in the way of teaching these
offenders a lesson by causing
them to lose a whole days kill.
AS a result of the two confsca-
tons the Protestant Episcopal
Children's Home and the Jewish
Widows and Orphans Home are
the benefciaries, and several fine
meals will be served at these in
situations at the expense of the
offending huntsmen.
One of the seizures made
Thursday morning was that of a
big box of birds, containing ten
doves, eight robins, eight quail,
three Woodcock, besides one
squirrel and three rabbits. This
shipment was made from Basile,
La, and was consigned to L. Gu

thirty quail and one dove, ship
ped by A. E. Lafeur, of Opelou-
sas, La, and was consigned to
D. J. Bennett, of this city. The
former shipment was diverted to
the Protestant Episcopal Child
ren's Home, and the latter was
sent to the Jewish Widows and
Orphans Home.
President Frank M. Miller,
game commissioner, s t t e d
Thursday morning that these
cOnfscations would continue so
long as there were any violations
of the law relative to having tags
attached to all shipments. The
board allows each hunter thirty
one tags each month. Each tag
should represent one shipment,
and if this tag is found missing
on any shipment of game Or fish,
such game will be Immediately
confscated by the boards in
spectors and the goods turned
over to some charitable institu-
ton, without qualification and
with no chance for the shipper
to be reimbursed.

Germs in Her System
Every women Should Read
this Advice and the Gen.
erous Offer that Goes
With It.

The number of diseases peculiar
to women in such that we believe
this space would hardly contain a
mere mention of their names, and
it is a fact that most OF these dis
eases are of a catarrhal nature. A
women cannot be we'll if there is a
trace of catarrh in her system.
Some women think there is nc
help for them. We positively de-
clare this to be a mistaken idea.
We are so sure Of this that we offer
to supply medicine absolutely free
of all cost in every instance where
it fails to give satisfaction, or does
not substantiate our claims. With
this understanding, no women should
hesitate to believe u honesty of
purpose, or hesitate to put our claim
to a test.
There is only one way to over
come catarrh. That way is through
the blood. You may use all the
snuffs, douches or like remedies for
years without getting more than
temporary relief at best. Catarrh
in general is a diseased condition
of the system that shows locally
most frequently in discharges from
mucous membranes. Local treat
ment should be assisted by internal
treatment for the general diseased
condition if a complete cure is to
be reached. That internal treat
ment should be scientifically devised
and faithfully administered.
Rexall Mucu-Tonc is scientifically
prepared from the prescription of
an eminent physician who for thirty
years made catarrh his speciality.
This remedy is admirably adapted
to the treatment of the catarrhal
ailments of women. 1t purifes and
enriches the blood, tends to stop
mucous discharges, aids in remov-
ing impurities from the system,
soothes, heals and strengthens the
mucous tissues, and brings about
a feeling of health and strength.
We want you to try Rexall Mucu-
Tone on our guarantee. If you are
not benefited, or for any reason not
satifed, simply tell US and we will
hand back your money. Rexall
Mucu-Tonic comes in two sizes, so
cents and $1.00. Remember, you
can obtain RexaII Remedies only at
