Nervous ProstratiQn.
A Noted Boston Woman Describes
its Symptoms and Terrors.—Two
Severe Cases Cured by Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
“lam so nervous! no one ever suffered as I do! There
isn’t a well inch in my body. I honestly believe my lungs
are diseased, my chest pains me so, but I have no cough. I
am so weak at my stomach, and have indigestion terribly, and
palpitation of the heart; am losing flesh; and this headache
and backache nearly kills me, and yesterday I had hysterics.
“ There is a weight in the lower part of my bowels, bearing
down all the time, with pains in my groins and thighs I
can't sleep, walk, or sit, and blue —oh goodness! lam simply
the most miserable of women.”
This is a most vivid description of a woman suffering with
nervous prostration, caused by inflammation or some other
diseased condition of the womb.
No woman should allow herself to reach such a perfection
of misery when there is no need of it. Read about Miss
Williamson’s case and how she was cured.
Two Bad Cases of Nervous Prostration Cured .
“Dear Mrs. Pinkham ; I
was suffering such tortures
from nervous prostration that
life was a burden. I could
not sleep at all, and was too
weak to walk across the floor.
My heart was affected so that
often 1 could not lie down at
all without almost suffocating.
I took Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound and it
worked like magic. 1 feel that
your medicine has been of in
estimable benefit to me.”

CLASH IS AVERTED.
Later News From China Indicates
That War Clouds have
Been Dissipated.
A London special says: In the house
of lords Thursday the foreign secre
tary, Lori Lausdowne, announced
| that Russia and Great Britain had
agreed to withdraw their troops from
I the disputed territory at Tien Tsin
and reserve the question of title and
proprietary rights for subsequent ex
amination. •
Lord Lansdowne supplemented the
announcement by explaining that this
dispute concerned an extensive area
on the left bank of the Pei Ho river,
which the Russians occupied in the
autumn and claimed by right of con
quest. Subsequently the government
was informed that China and Russia
had reached an agreement placing the
area under Russian occupation. The
area, however,, comprised plots be
longing to the northern Chinese rail
road and was therefore part of the
security of tlfe British bondholders.
The line was part of the railroad re
cently transferred by the Russians to
Marshal von Waldersee, who re-trans
ferred it to the British. The necessi
ties of the allies required the construc
tion of a siding on one of the plots re
ferred to and the presence of British
workers on the plot was treated as a
trespass on Russian territory. It was
subsequently alleged that the Russian
boundary marks had been removed by
the British.
In those circumstauoes the govern
ment on March 16th telegraphed to
its representatives in China that it
thought the rights of the British or
Russian troops io occupy the disputed
points can best be settled by Field
Marshal von Waldersee, as the com
mander-iu-chief, aud General Gaselee
(the British commander) was instruct
ed to request the field marshal to set
tle the immediate differences, reserv
ing for future examination the ques
tion of validity of the alleged private
rights.
On March 20th the alleged removal
of the Russian boundary pillar oc
curred, and the government instruct
ed the British minister at Pekin that
Great Britain was ready to refer the
factß to Field Marshal von Waldersee,
on the understanding that if either
side was found to have committed an
irregularity it should apologize to the
other.
The government added that the
construction of the siding should
continue under whatever conditions
the field marshal thought fit to im
pose. He (Lord Lansdowne) was glad
to say he had heard from the British
ambassador at St. Petersburg that the
Russian frontier minister had proposed
that they should agree to reserve all
questions of title and proprietary
rights for the examination of the two
governments, and that in the mean
while orders be forthwith sent for the
withdrawal of the troops of both sides
from the disputed plots. Great Britain
had entirely concurred, and thought
tiie withdrawal should be carried out
to Field Marshal von Waldersee’s sat
isfaction.
AFTER SIX YEARS
Kidnaped Girl Is Returned to Her
flother at El Paso, Texas.
Mary Carrie Stevens, kidnaped from
El Paso, Texas, six years ago, when
but live years old and not heard of
again by relatives until recently, was
brought back from Danville, lud., and
restored to her mother, Mrs. Anna
Stevens, Thursday.
The meeting was an unusual one.
The mother was unable to recognize
her child, who was a mere babe when
she last saw her.
The stolen child was able to tell a
connected story of her wanderings
since she was taken from home six
years ago. She was trained for a trap
eze performer in a circus. The actress
who took her away from home is dead.
Addition to Artillery Service.
A Washington dispatch says: Under
the army reorganization law, which
provides for an increase of 20 per cent
for the artillery arm of the service, an
order has been issued organizing
twelve companies of coast artillery in
addition to those now in service.
Date For Civil Government.
According to the calculations at the
war department transfer from the mil
itary to the civil government in the
Philippines will occur about June 30.

BRITISH BAYONETS
CONFRONT RUSSIANS
The Dispute at Tien Tsin
Grows More Ominous.
QUESTION OF PROPERTY RIGHTS
A Pekin Dispatch Says Germans
Loot a Town—What our Rep
resentative Is Doing.
Advices from Tien Tsin, China,
state that the British and Russians
are disputing over the limits of rail
way property in the Russian conces
sion, and the guards of the two na
tions are in close proximity to each
other.
The British have been strongly re
enforced and trouble is imminent un
less the Russians retire.
The Russians are now intrenching in
the disputed territory. A company of
the Hong Kong regiment, with fixed
bayonets, is in front, whi e two com
panies of the Madras Pioneers, under
the command of Major Johnson, are
held in reserve.
Both the Russians and the British
are awaiting instruction* from their
governments.
rBIOTIOK AN ADMITTED DACT.
A London special says: A question
in the bouse of commons Friday,in re
gard to the news from Tien Tsin an
nonncing friction between the Rus- j
(dans and British there elicited a con
firmation from Lord George Hamilton, j
the secretary of state for India, who
said Russia had claimed the land in
dispute by virtue of a concession al
leged to have been granted by China
since the disturbances commenced.
The authorities on the spot were deal
ing with the matter. The government
had not sent special instructions, as,
throughout the Chinese operations,
the Britist officers had shown a spirit
of excessive conciliation.
BOOTED BY GEBMANB.
A cablegram from Pekin says: It
was reported at the United States le
gation by Rev. W. S. Ament, of the
local staff of the American board of
foreign missions, that the Germans
bad visited the prosperous market
town of sfau Ming, sixty miles from
Pekin, and completely looted it, and
that they had also ransacked and des
ecrated a native Christian chapel and
despoiled women of their trinkets,
even taking rings out of their ears and
generally ill-treating the natives.
The attitude of M. de Giers regard
ing further punishments is delaying
the demand of the ministers of the
powers upo* the Chinese and the matter
has been referred to the home govern
ments. Mr. Rockhill, the American
special commissioner, says that practi
cally he is in favor of drawing a clean
sheet over additional executions, but
that certain high officials throughout
the provinces are guily of most bar
barous crimes and that it is generally
recognized that these must be punish
ed if only as a warning to others.
In every case where leniency was
possible Mr.Rockhill has advocated it,
but he has felt that in a few cases len
iency was out of the question. He
said M. de Giers had virtually agreed
to certain additioual punishments,but
that the change in his attitude is pre
sumably attributable to Russia’s mn-
Doyance at the interference of the
others in ihe Manchuria affair.
At the latest meeting of the minis
ters, M. de Giers vehemently declared
that he would rather see his right
hand cut off than consent to further
decapitations.
As regards questions of indemnity,
individual American claims, Mr. Rock.-
hill says, under the agreement agreed
upon by the ministers, will be paid in
almost every case. The arrangement
he considers satisfactory and fair to
j both Chinese and foreigners.

WAR IS STILL ON.
Armistice Between Lord Kitchenci
And General Botha Seems i<>
Be Ineffective,
A dispatch from Lord Kitchener, is
sued at London Friday morning, is so
studiously silent upon the subject ol
the peace negotiations that it leads to
the conclusion that nothing has yel
been accomplished of a s-uffioientlj
definite character to justify lending
official support to the view that th
war is over. Nor do General French’s
movements indicate a cessation of hos
tilities, although possibly, as no date
is given, his captures were made pre
vious to the granting of the armistice.
Lord Kitchener’s dispatch, which i
dated at Pretoria, reports as follows!
“Dewet has reached Senekal on hie
northward progress.
“French, in addition to his previone
successes, reports forty-six Boers kill
ed or wounded, 146 taken pris
oners and surrendered, with 200 rifles,
3,700 rounds of ammunition, 2,401}
horses, 2,500 cattle and 400 wagons
and carts, besides mules and trek
oxen.
“Methuen has arrived at WarrentoE
from Klerksdorp, bringing in prison
oners and cattle.
“The weather is wet, delaying the
movements of the columns.”
A dispatch from Pretoria, after not
ing General Dewet’s arrival at Senekal,
Orange River Colony, says that though
he has only a small following, Dewet
is nearing a district where he is likely
to receive considerable reinforcements
and probably intends to pick up rov
ing bands of republicans who are evei
present in the Dornberg and Korknna
districts.
General French, the dispatch adds,
had been detained by swollen drifts :d
the Piet Retief district, but is now
able to move again.
Dispatches from Bloemfontein, Or
ange River Colony, state that prison
ers who have lately been released bj
General Dewet say they think ke is s
madman. They aver that the terribl*
fatigue he has undergone, his anxie
ties and the intensity of his feelings
have unhinged his mind. Apart from
this view of General Dewet’s mental
state some of his peculiarities ara
that he rarely sleeps within the bounds
of the camp. He seeks his rest out
side, with a few trusted followers,
Thus, the orderlies of his subordinate
commanders are frequently unable to
find him to receive orders. His secre
cy is extreme. He absolutely impart*
his plans to no one.
General Dewet repudiates the peac*
negotiations which are going on. He
has declared openly to the men undei
his command that no terms except in
dependence will satisfy him. A recent
utterance attributed to General Dewet
is that after the British he hated the
Trausvaalers.
The whereabouts of General Dewel
during the last two or three days it
unknown, nor is it known whethei
President Stevn is with him.
