Three Conditions Presented That the

U Hons Chang Says the French Min

Tarls, July 2T M. Peleasse, minis

telegram from the French consul at
Shanghai, dated July H.'J, which says:
"LI Hung Chang has just assured tue
that M. l'ichon French minister to
China Is living and he has agreed to
transmit to him a message from me re
questing a reply within live days."
Washington, July The state de
partment is again in a waiting attitude
regarding China. It has frankly,
promptly and fully answered the Chi
nese emperor's appeal for mediation,
and the correspondence makes it ap
pear that the next move Is for the Chi

be acceptable to all the parties. If the
United States Is toemdiate in China's
Interest she must first secure the as
eent of all the powers who have suffer
ed In life or property at Peking.
Knn( Hsu'a Appeal to I's.
The whole correspondence was
primed yesterday. Under date of July
19, 19O0. Kwang Hsu, emperor of Chi
na, at Peking, after referring to the
Chi no-American friendship and to out
breaks in China against the missions,
resulting in the capture of the Taku
forts, says: "Now China, driven by the
Irresistible course of events, has unfor
tunately Incurred well nigh universal
Indignation. For settling the present
dfficulty China places special reliance
In the United States. We address this
message to your excellency In all sin
cerity and candldness with the hope
that your excellency will devise meas
ures and take the initiative in bringing
about a concert of the powers for the
restoring of order and peace."
President MrKinley'a Reply.
The president's reply first "infers'
that the prosecution of Christians and
attacks on foreigners In China are not
favored or encouraged by the Peking
government, but are the acts of rebels.
That being the case It is urged on the
Chinese government to give public as
eurance whether the foreign ministers
are alive, and, If so. In what condition;
to put the diplomatic representatives
of the powers In immediate and free
communication with their respective
governments, and to remove all danger
to ther lives and liberty: to place the
Imperial authorities of China In com
xnunlcation with the relief expedition.
so that co-operation may be secured
between thm for the liberation of the
legationers, the protection of foreign
ers, and the restoration of order.
Our Service Can Then lie Had.
The president tells Kwang Hsu that
our whole Interest in the allied mill
tary movement In the protection of
American persons and proierty, and
that if these requirements given In the
foregoing are accomplished "it Is the
belief of this government that no ob
stacles will be found to exist on the
cart of the powers to an amicable set
tlement of all the questions arising out
of the recent troubles, and the friendly
good offices of this government will,
with the assent of the other powers.

OTHER DISPATCHES FROM CHINA.
One I Received at London and Appeals
for Prompt Help.
Washington, July 2". There was
plenty of news from China yesterday.
The Chinese minister received a dis
patch from Sheng. the director of rail
roads and telegraphs at Shanghai, stat
ing that the foreign ministers are to
be sent from Peking to Tien-Tsin un
der escort; also that the imperial gov
ernment Has not oniy ueen protecting
them, but has supplied them with food.
The trip from Peking to Tien-Tsin
takes four days, if there is no trou
ble en route.
At London a dispatch was received
from the British consul at Tien-Tsin,
dated Saturday. July 21. stating that
he had Just received a letter from Sir
Claude MacDonald, the British minis
ter at Peking, dated July 4. appealing
for relief. There were enough pro
visions at the legation to last a fort
night, the letter said, but the garrison
was unequal to the task of holding
out against a determined attack for
manv davs. There had been forty,
four deaths ana aoout double that
Kiitnber wounded.
A London cable also says: "The Cht
ttese minister. Sir Chih Chen Lu Fang
Luh. had a long interview with Lord
Salisbury yesterday afternoon. The
general situation was discussed, and
the Chinese minister declared his be
lief that the British minister to China.
Sir Claude MacDonald. and the other
foreigners at Peking were safe. Lord
Salisbury reiterated his demand for di
rect communication with the minister
' at Peking. To this request the minis
ter could only renew his protestations
that It would be speedily accomplished
If feasible."
There were dispatches received at
Paris from the French consul at Tien
Tsin, dated from July 13 to 18, the
earliest of which said that at Pekina
since .lnnp'Jti the foreign ministers had J
been besieged in the Rritish legation
and that the marines were making
a vigorous defei.fe. The supply of am
munition was low and the peril of
those In the legation was great.
A New York World dispatch from
Shanghai quotes Jt Hung Chang as
saying: "The members of the legation i
are still alive, but nn advance of the
allied troops upon Peking from Tien
Tsin would probably be the death
herald of every white man In Peking."
He said be could restore order with
less than 20.000 white troops. "The
Boxers are a rabble not to be consid
ered." he added.

Still in my soul its tendrils live.
Like some sweet, clinging vine.

In my youthful yeais.
And eveu yet, in memory.
Its pearly drops remain.
And often now, in fancy.

Lang Will Ketlre.
From present indications the war
which for some time has existed be
tween l)r Lang of the Beatrice insti

to end. Tho "Beatrice correspondent
of the Stale Journal says:
"Home time ago Governor Poynter,
through his attorney here, gave Dr.
Lang an unlimatum. He was to either
accept the terms of compromise laid
down by the governor today' or tomor
row or tho blue coats would take pos
session of the institution. Numerous
conferences have been held, the last
ono late this afternoon, at which Dr.
Lang signed the papers. It is an
agreoment that on August 15 Dr. Lang
is to t-tep out and Dr. Dearing in. The
concession which Dr. Lang got in the
compromise is that he and his warring
employes are to have all back salaries
to date of retirement; "also that all of
the bills contracted by Dr. Lang shall
ho paid without question. Dr. Dear
ing would not consent to keep the em
ployes whom Lang sought to have re
tained by reason of their remaining
loyal to him during the long conflict,
hence it is understood they will go, if
not before election, soon after. Dr.
L ing has spent much of his time lately
in consultation with bis attorney and
those representing the other side, and
appeared relieved tonight when the
matter had finally been settled."

CROW HAKIIUB.
Owing to a change in the name of
this village, some of the readers of the
Nkws-IIekald may be somewhat
mystified as to its exact location, hence
tbe writer rises to explain that Crow
Harbor is tbe plaee formerly kuown as
Maple Grove. The grove is still here.
but so are the crows. In fact, the
crows grow more numerous, if such a
thing be possible, while the grove re
tains its old proportions. In fact, it is
said that all the crows in the state are
moving this way, therefore the city
council thought the name Crow Har
bor more appropriate, and decided to
make the change. The change in
name, however, makes no change in
the official directory, as the old Maple
Grove officials will retain their respec
tive oSices, at least until the next elec
tion. Hence anybody having business
to transact with them will conduct
themselves accordingly. Another
reason for changing the name to Crow
Harbor is that we are all crowing for
MeKiuley and Hoosevelt.

Monday night William Manier, liv
ing about two miles east of town, heard
a team come into his yard. Upon go
ing out he found a team with the har
ness on, but no sign of a vehicle or
driver nor anything to indicate the
direction from which they came. He
took the horses up to Henry Long, his
nearest neighbor, hoping to get some
clue as to their owner, but Mr. Long
did not know them. Mr. Manier took
them back home and put them up.
The next morning Mr. Long went to
Crow Harbor, and on the way found a
spring wagon in tbe road, evidently
the remains of a runaway from which
the team had escaped, but nothing
about it to indicate who owned it nor
whence it had come, except that it was
headed east.
Crow Harbor came very near being

charge of having purloined a base ball
from the pocket of said Williams while
the latter was assisting Mr. Puis shell
corn last week. The mayor immed
iately convened court and proceeded
to hear the case. The evidence con
sisted mainly in charges and counter
charges and evasions, until someone
intimated that his honor was impli
cated in the matter, when that official
rose in all his dignity and threw the
case out of court. Williams departed
swearing dlre vengeance upon the
guilty party should he succeed in
definitely locating him.

IS IT RIGHT
For an Editor to Utcouinifuil Patent Med
icines? From Sylvan Valley News, Brevaid,
N. C. It may be a question whether
the editor of a paper h e the right to
publicly recommend medicines which
flood the market, yet as a preventive
of suffering we feel it a duty to say a
good word for Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. We
have anown and used this medicine in
our family for twenty years ana have
always found it reliable. In manv ca
ses a doe of the remedy would save
hours of suffering while a physician is
awaited. We do not believe in de
pending implicitly on any medicine
for a cure, but we do believe that if a
bottle of Chamberluin's Dirrhoea Rem
edy were kept on hand and ad
ministered at the inception of an at
tack much suffering might be avoided
and in very many cases the presence
of a physician would not be required.
At le.tst this has been our experience
during the past twenty years. For

Past Week Wet and Cool.
The crop bulletin for the week end
ing July 23, as sent out by the weather
bureau at the University of Nebraska,
L'u coin, says:
The past week has been cool and wet,
wilh less thtn the normal amount of
sunshiue. The daily mean tempera
ture has averaged about six degrees
below the norma'.
The rainfall equalled or exceeded
the normal In nearly all parts of the
state, aud ranged from one to three
inches in'a good portion of the state.
The wet weather of the past week
has retarded haying, threshing and
stacking, but has been very favorable
for the growth of corn. In the eastern
and northern counties the rain of the
15th came in season to prevent serious
damage to the corn crop. However,
the crop on the early-planted corn was
shortened somewhat in most southern
counties by the dry weather, although
the late-planted was uninjured. In

BAD BLOOD,
BAD COMPLEXION.
The skin is the seat of an almost end
less variety of disease. They arc knewu
by various names, but are all due to the
same cause, acid and other poisons in
the blood that irritate and interfere with
the proper action of the skin.
To have a smooth, soft skin, free from
all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure
and healthy. The many preparations of
arsenic and potash and the large number
of face powders and lotions generally
used in this class of diseases cover up
for a short time, but cannot remove per
manently the ugly blotches and the red,
disfiguring pimples.
