WOMEN MUST SLEEP. Avoid Nervous Prostration. If you are dangerously sick what is the first duty of your physician? He quiets the nervous system, he deadens the pain, and you sleep well. Friends ask. "what is the cause?” and the answer comes in pitying tones, nervous prostration. It came upon you so quietly iu the beginning, that you were not alarmed, aud when sleep deserted you night after night until your eyes fairly burned in the darkness, then you tossed iu nervous agony praying for sleep. Mm*. A. Hartley. You ought to have known that when you ceased to be regular in your jourses, and you grew irritable with out cause, that there was serious trouble somewhere. You ought to know that indigestion, exhaustion, womb displacements, fainting, dizziness, headache, and backache send the nerves wild with affright, and you cannot sleep. Mrs. Hartley, of 221 W. Congress St., Chicago. 111., whose portrait we pub lish, suffered all these agonies, and was entirely cured by Lydia E.

PIOTAIIj nOLD TO MANCHURIA Czar Threatens to Sever Diplo matic Relations and Force the "Celestials” to Sign. Information has reached Washing ton to the effect that the Russian gov -1 eminent, being seriously perturbed by the course of China in not siguing the l Manchurian agreement, largely be i cause of the protest made by the sev eral powers, has conveyed a distinct and unmistiikable indication to China that if this course is persisted iu there may be an interruption of diplomatic relations between Russia and China and a termination of the present inter course between them. This is little short of an ultimatum that China must sign or take the consequence of a ter mination of her friendly relations with Russia. To what extent the United States will take cognizance of Russia’s dis position to enforce the signing of the agreement has not yet been made ap parent. It appears to be the policy of the Chinese authorities to consider this as a subject which concerns the powers quite as much as it does China. The matter has become further com plicated by reports reaching Wasbing i'ngton that the Chinese authorities themselves are divided on the course to be pursued, some of the most in fluential, including Li Hung Chang, urging that acquiescence be given to the Russian proposals, while others insist on rejecting the agreement. The attitude of Li Hung Chang is ac counted for by his well-known friend liness for Russian interests. In this case, however, tLere appears to be ar rayed against him the strong influence of the southern viceroys, Chan Chi Tung and Lia Kun Yi, who oppose the signing of the treaty. The reports reaching Washington Monday morn ing showed that the agreement not yet been signed. A London special says: ‘‘The Chi nese emperor, I am officially informed, has instructed the Chinese plenipo tentiaries,” says the Pekin corres pondent of The Daily Mail, ‘‘not to sign the Manchurian convention even iu a modified form.” Dr. Morrison, wiring to The Times from Pekin March ‘2Bth, says: “The Yang-tse viceroys have carried the day. Li Hung Chang, who wired Tuesday urging Emperor Kwang Su to reconsider his decision, received an answer that the throne’s decision, in the presence of the unanimous advice of the chief provincial officials, was irrevocable, and that the Manchurian convention could not be signed. “In spite of her threats, Russia seems destined to slam the door. Ne gotiations between Li Hung Chang and M. Do Giers were certainly pro ceeding yesterday when M. De Giers agreed to several formal amendments to the text. Russia’s cynical and bold diplomacy appears for once to have over-reached itself.” MORE TIME ASKED. It is claimed here on reliable author ity that China has asked Russia to al low her a further extension of time before directing the question of sign itg the Manchurian agreement. Both M. De Giers and the Chinese officials refuse to talk on the subject. LET NONE ESCAPE. Alleged Charges of Fraud in Manila to Be Thoroughly Probed. A Meuiia special, under date of April Ist, says: The sensational frauds in the commissary department, which were developed Suuday by the arrest of Captain Frederick J. Barrows and others, will be probed to the bottom. Orders have been issued that uo guilty man escape. The number of meu im plicated in the frauds is undetermin ed, and high rank will not suffice to shields delinquents. Colonel Woodruff, the chief commis sary at Manila, said to the represents* tiva of the Associated Press that the irregularities were exaggerated, aed that the troops were always well sup plied with stores. NO MINERS’ STRIKE, Committee Decides Not to Start Con test With Coal Operators.

MURDERER CONFESSES V’alet Jones Tells In Court How Millionaire Rice Was Done To Death. A New York special says Without the slightest quaver in his voice and displaying no outward sign of regret or remorse, Charles F. Jones, secre tary and valet to the late William Marsh Rice, confessed under oath in Justice Jerome’s court Tuesday that he had ended the life of his employer and benefactor with chloroform. The confession was the climax of a remarkable recital in which was laid bare the details on an alleged subtle conspiracy which had for its object the seizure of $1,000,000 in cash and negotiable securities and the conver sion of three millions in realty to the use of the alleged chief conspirator. There was a dramatic force in the directness and minute attention to de tail with which Jones approached the tragedy—the moment wheD he covered the face of the sleeping man with the saturated napkin and then waited for him to die. The self confessed murderer told the story of the alleged plot from its con ception. The capital crime he com mitted and all the minor offenses that preceded it were, he declared, at the instigation aud direction of lawyer Albert T. Patrick. It was Patrick, he said, who con ceived the idea of forging a will aud forging transfers and conveyances, tt was Patrick who induced two per sons to witness the forged signature. It was Patrick who determined that Rice should die and it was Patrick who sought, to have him killed slowly and then becoming impatient determined upon quick action. And, according to Jones, remarkable as it may seem,Rice never knew him during his life time and never saw him but once. Jones, according to his story, first began his acquaintance with Patrick when the lawyer called at the resi dence of Millionaire Rice on Madison avenue in October, 1899. The witness told of the growing friendship and the gradual approach to the discussion of the affairs of Mr. Rice, which finally resulted in the proposition to defimu 1, and Jones finally yielded. Then came the details of the story of the transfers and conveyances of real and personal property to Patrick over the forged signatures of Rice; the stealing of bank checks from the mil lionaire’s check book; their delivery to Patrick and the forging of Rice’s signature; the proposition to put the aged millionaire ou t of the way, first weakening him by continuous doses of mercury, the calling iu of a physician at frequent intervals, thus apparently providing for the issuance of a death certificate; and the extreme care with which this plan of slow poisoning was carried out. Then, as calmly as though unfold ing the plot of a drama in which he w r as interested only as a spectator, Jones led up to the day of the murder. ELECTIONS IN KANSAS. Temperance Folk Only Won In the Smaller Towns. Municipal elections were held in all of the larger cities of Kansas Tuesday.
