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.” Miss Adklk Williamson, 196 N. Boulevard, Atlanta. Ga.

Ga Use CERTAIN eSL^'CURE.!* THE WEEKLY NEWS, CARTERSVrLLE, GA. 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.

C., Friday, Mar tin Grimball, a negro, was convicted for malicious mischief in the judicial i court, the charge against him being i that he had killed a pet dog belonging to Judge Reed. Under a recent de | cisiou of the supreme court a dog is ! rated as property, and as such the | owner can seek the aid of the law in his protection. 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. FOR OBSTRUCTING SIDEWALK Mrs. Nation Arrested In Kansas City And Ordered to Leave Town.

SCC FT & BGWNE, Chemists, New York* _ 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. AMENDHENT DON’T ClO.
