V Help... Nature Babies and children need proper food, rarely ever medicine. If they do not thrive :; on their food something is wrong. They need a little help to get their digestive machinery working properly. COD LIVER OIL WITH HYPOPHOSPHITES of LINES SODA will generally correct this | difficulty. If you will put from one- j fourth to half a teaspoor.fd j in baby’s bottle three or four * times a day you will soon see I a marked improvement. For j larger children, from half to ■ a teaspoonful, according to j age, dissolved in their milk, ! if you so desire, will very | soon show its great nourishing power. If the mother’s milk does not nourish the baby, she needs the emulsion. It will show an effect at once both upon mother and child. 50c. and SI.OO. all druggists. SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemists, New York.

AFFAIRS IN CHINA CONDITIONS NOT SETTLING AS 11AP1DLY AS WAS LOOKED FOB IN THE ORIENT. BIG force; of troops mutiny One Chinese Army Has Been Sent Against Another Branch of the Same to Quell a a Violent Disturbance—ilussia’s Plans Referred to Again. London, Jan. 7.—“ The outlines of tha Russo-Chinese agreement regarding Manchuria were settled with LI Hung Chang in December, 1891),” says the Vienna correspondent of the Daily Telegraph; “and prior to that Russia had concluded treaties with the emirs of Bokhara and Khiva and the shah of Persia, arranging for neutrality or for military assistance in the event of difficulties arising between Russia and any Asiatic power. In fact, all the steps toward the practical acquisition of Manchuria had been carefully prepared.’’ “Reports have been received here from Sian Fu,” says the Shanghai correspondent of the Standard, “that General Tung Fuh Hsiang's 14,000 troops have mutinied at Ku Yuen Chou. In the province of Kan Bu, and that General Feng Tse Tsai’s army has been sent from the province of Yun Nan to suppress the rebellion." “Chang Chlh Tung, the Wu Chang viceroy, wired the Chinese envoys, strenuously urging them to delay the signing of the note,” says Dr. Morrison, wiring to the Times yesterday from Pekin, “until several clauses had been amended and that portion of the preamble had been expunged which charges the imperial court with the responsibility for the attacks upon the legation? He further urged the important personages not to return to Pekin on the ground that the joint notes permits the powers to maintain 10,000 troops between Pekin and the sea. An Important decree was issued to delay the affixing of signatures; but the Chinese plenipotentiaries replied that It was impossible to recall the assent already given.” London, Jan. B.—“ The t’nited States government has proposed to the powers,” says the correspondent at Washington of the Dally Mail, “to transfei the Chinese negotiations from Pekin to Washington.” Children Were Tortured. London, Jan. B.—A sister of charity, writing from the Maison De Jesu En fant, at Ning Po, Nov. 20. describes the massacre at Nanking of 100 little boys. Some of them she says were roasted alive in the church. Others escaped to the orphanage outside the city, but all were killed and the place burned. “Despite threats of torture and the frequency of most painful deaths,” the sister declares, “apostacy was wonderfully rare.” Another Big Battle.

LONDON IS UNHAPPY LATE INTELLIGENCE FROM SOUTH AFRICA CONTINUES TO BE UNSATISFACTORY. GIVES THEM A FRESH COLD FIT Thrown In a Slate of Uncertainty By the Vagueness of Information Concerning Movements of the Invading Boers—Moro Troops Called For. London, Jan. 7.—This morning’s news from Cape Town is again unsatisfactory. Martial law has been proclaimed at Malmesbury and would have been proclaimed in other districts but that tile cabinet meeting called Saturday was unable to agree as to Its advisability. Tin- vagueness of the information concerning the movements and position of the invaders has sent a fresh cold tit over the colonists; and Cape Town calls loudly for reinforcements from England on the ground that the greater part of Lord Kitchener’s available force is employed in protecting the lines of communication and the Rand mines, the latter extending for a distance of 50 miles. It Is asserted by one Cape Town correspondent that unless the forces in Cape Coiony are increased a most undesirable state of affairs may result, as the success in arms of the invaders, however slight, might be the signal for a Dutch rising. As it Is, many British residents have bad to leave the Dutch villages near Cape Town, their lives being unbearable. According to native reports 100 men, either Boers or local farmers, have just passed through Clanwilliam district in the direction of Malmesbury. The Cape Town correspondent of Daily Mail, who calls for 40,000 fresh troops, says: "rrominent Afrikander loyalists declare that the rebellious colonists will construe the colonial call to arms as a challenge and that the ominous silence of the pro-rebels, combined with the fact that members of the pro-Boer junta in Cape Town have been touring in the disaffected districts, emphasizes the necessity for martial law. The necessity was never more acute for dispatching reinforcements. Already there is proof that colonists are leading one commando.” The military movements reported are quite unimportant, though Portugal Is sending reinforcements to Lorenzo Marques. Dr. Leyds, according to a The Hague corres]>ondent, is recruiting In Holland, Belgium, France and Germany; and his recruits will lie sent to Naniaqualand, ostensibly as emigrants, each man receiving £SO down in starting. PLOT OF A FIEND Another Illinois Man Receives Infernal Machine By Mail. Paris, Ills., Jan. s.—Thomas J. Coffman, an attorney and collecting agent at Hume, in the northwest part of this county, narrowly escaped being blown to atoms with an Infernal machine received through the mail yesterday. The box was of wood, had a sliding lid, and measured alioiit three inches wide and ten inches long. A stout string was attached to the lid, and be gave this a strong pull, which revealed the nature of the contents. The box was a cunningly-devised affair, and Ils failure to explode cannot be explained. The box contained a pound stick of dynamite. Into which were stuck a number of match heads. Tacks and sandpaper wore arranged to ignite the matches as the lid opened. Probably the jolting in the mail had caused the matches to slip so far from the rough substances that no friction was caused. This fact undoubtedly saved the lives of a number of spectators as well as that of Mr. Coffman. A rigid Investigation was nt once begun by the authorities. It seems that the box was mailed at Ixtgansport, Ind., reaching Hume ever the 1., D. & w. A white label bearing this inscription was on the box: "Dr. J. W. Blusser & Son.” No postoffice address was given. A STERN AVENGER North Dakota Farmer Deals With His Sister's Despoiler. Milton, N.

/A HEADACHE is only a symptom—not a disease. So are Backache, Nervousness, Dizziness and the Blues. They all come from an unhealthy state of the menstrual organs.

The doctor may call your trouble some high-sounding Latin name, but never mind the name. The trouble is in the menstrual organs, and Bradfield’s Female Regulator will restore you to health and regulate the menses like clockwork. Sold by druggists for |i a bottle. A free Illustrated book will be sent to any woman if request be mailed to THE BRADFIELD REGULATOR CO. ATLANTA, GA. between Mellen and his (Barry’s) sister. Wednesday night the girl left the house and after a long search Barry found her on the prairie, badly frozen. Taking her to a neighbor's house he returned home and found Mellen in the barn. Locking the door he told hhu that he must die and gave him the choice of a rope or a knife. Mellen refused either and Barry then placed the rope around his neck and attempted to hang him. A terrible struggle ensued and seeing that lie could not succeed in killing his victim in this way, Barry gave him five minutes’ time to say his prayers. He knelt to pray, Barry meantime standing by his side, watch in hand. At the end of five minutes he plunged a knife several times into the neck of the kneeling man, who died almost instantly.
