THE OMAHA DAILY UJ3E: WEDNESDAY, MAHCII 27, 1901. OVER THE LINE. Procrastination is the Thief of Health. Nature Is a very wise and careful mother but sho Is dumb. She speaks by signs. The man or woman who does not heed her signs or falls to understand them must pay tho penalty. Some day thero will bo a Htef OVOP Ihn linn I.ai.s..,,I .t.l.l .nn.n. ...i... . i ,.i . , i warning, cease and her penalties begin. ! i-or instance, thero Is a man who for years never knew he had a stomach, It performed, us work so perfectly. Some day after cat- j lng ho has a little sour or bitter rising In tno throat. Ho does not heed It. Itcr he feels an uncomfortable fulness after cat Ins, a distress In the region of the stom ach, ond perhaps bo Is uncomfortable nough to wonder whether ho ought not to "do something" for himself. Hut ho does not get nny further thon wondering. He be comes sleepless, loses llesh, nnd has other warnings of tho development of disease but he still tries to work. Some day bo col lapses, drops down perhaps at his task and 'when ho comes to himself In bed ho Is se riously III. Ho Is paying tho penalty for his heedlessness of Nature's warnings. Whenever thero aro unduo fullness after eating, sour or bitter eructations, belchlngs nnd kindred symptoms, It Is the sign thnt dlscosi) Is fastening on the stomach and digestive nnd nutritive truets. Disease un less chocked Is always progressive, and tt Is only n question of tlmo In such cases, when the health and strength will bo se riously undermined. TAKE NO 1USKS. Tho wlso man or woman will take no risks but will attend to the llrst symptoms of disease of the stomach. Doctor I'lerce's Golden Medical Discovery which has cured thousands of people who were suffering from tho most aggravated forms of disease of tho stomach and Its nllleil organs of di gestion nnd nutrition may be relied on quickly ond permanently to cure such dis eases In their earlier stages. Its action Is prompt nnd efficient. Its effects aro last ing. Tho whole body being fully nour ished Is built up with sound llesh, not with llabby fat.

Tho Dally Express prints u rumor that Sir Alfred Mllncr Is dissatisfied with his qualified authority and has ' nsked tho government to glvo him "either a free hand or no hand." Mr. Chamberlain Is said to havo roplled that tt would not be advisable to dlsasco clato tho authority of Sir Alfred Milner from that of Lord Kitchener nnd tho rumor goes that Sir Alfred contemplates resign ing. "It Is an open secret," says tho Dally Ex press, "that Sir Alfred Milner has long chafed at having Lord Kitchener at hiu elbow to check or modify his proposals," This Amsterdam correspondent of tho Dally Mall wires tho substance of nn Inter view with Mr. Kruger, whom he found In a "moit optimistic frame 'of mind." "Ocneial Ilnblirgton'H victory over Gen eral Deltirey had been," Mr. Kruger thought, "magnllled In tho reports. Ho thought tho Magallesburg range and ltusteuburg wero again In tho possession of tho Doers," con tinues tho correspondent, "and tho old guerrilla game will continue until England is forced to make peaco overtures." llollnt-iin Convention, CHICAGO, March M. A holiness conven tion has been called to meet In Chicago from .May :i to lo. with die Mien nf unltliiK nil holiness organizations throughout tho IT CAME HACK. The Doctor' Wife round Her Com plexion Auuln. Coffee Is no respecter of persons when lt'comes to tho poisonous effects thereof. A prominent physician's wife of Monti cello, lnd., says that coffee treated her very badly Indeed, giving her a serious and i.aliifu' stomach trouble, and n wrotcjicd, muddy complexion. Her husband is a physician of tho reg ular school and opposed to both tea and roffeo, so ho induced her to leave them oil nnd tako on l'ostum Pood Coffee. Tho stomach trouble disappeared almost like magic, and gradually her complexion cleared up; now she It in excellent condi tlou throughout. Thero nro thousands of highly organized people who nro mado sick In a variety of different ways by tho use of coffee, nnd roost of theso people do not suspect the cause of their trouble. They think that others can drink coftco nnd are well, and they can, but about ono person out of overy threo la more or less poisoned by coffee, ond this cau bo proved by leaving off cof fee and' taking l'ostum Food Coffee. In nearly every case tho disorder will bo greatly relieved or entirely disappear. It Is easy enough to make n trial and see whether coffee U a poison to you or not. Tho- nntno of tho doctor's wlfo con bo given upon nppltcutlon to the l'ostum Cereal Co., Ltd., at UatUo Creek, Mich. 1 ttr thousands of dyspeptics throughout the land." HOW STltENOTH 13 11EST0HHD. 1'coplo tin a rule havo somowhnt of a vague Idea of tho manner In which life Is sustained and supported. They know they must cat to live. But they .do not consider that when tho stomach nnd digestive and nutritive tracts ure diseased, the object of eating, which Is the nutrition of tho body, cannot hi perfectly attained. Only part of tho food eutcn Is converted Into nutrition, and the body Is but partly nour ished. Yet tho body Is required to do as much dally as if It were brim? fully nour ished. Tha result Is tho wasting of tho flesh, loss of weight which goes hand in h , , h ,08S f , ,h am, ncrn, debility. When tho diseased stomach Is cured by "Golden Medical Discovery," the food Is digested and assimilated and In the form of nourishment restores tho strength and vigor of the body, tho proof of this being written In tho pounds and ounces of lost flesh which are rapidly regained. Tho only way In which physical strength can bo mado Is by food, digested and assimi lated. When tho stomach and Its allied organs arc diseased the digestion Is Imperfect, the nsslnlllatlon partial, conse quently there Is a dally loss of strength. When Dr. l'lerco Golden Medical Discovery cures the diseases of tho stomach mid other organs of digestion and nutrition, tho food eaten Is properly digested and assimila ted, the body la adequately nourished and thus Its strength Is restored. "I will express my thanks to you for tho kindly advice you havo given me In regard to my case," writes Miss Carrie J. Wharton, of Dmiuvant, Spott sylvanla Co., Va. "When I wrote to you last spring I was In a terrible state of health. Hod given up nil hope nf cVcr being better. I spit up my food nil tho time nnd It ceomed sour ns vinegar. I would have n bad nlr.k headacho every other week; In fact, my head never felt clear, and I was perfectly broken down under tho strain of losing my food, con stantly. 1 wns nut able to have si physician attend me, but had read u great deal In your books of what your medicine had done for others, so I wrote you and got your ndvlce. Bought two bottles of 'Golden Medical Discovery' and the Ilrst doso I took I folt better. When I had finished taking the two bottles the spitting up hail entirely stopped and my bead was much better. I do not say It has yet made an entire cure of me, os It required raoro than that for me, ns 1 was bo very bad, but 1 believe your medicines nro Just what you have said of them. "I carefully read the books you rent me nnd shall nlways speak a good word for tho 'Golden Medical Discovery' whenever I havo a chance. "You con publish this If you think It worth while. It might Induce Home one else to try your medicine who was suffering ns I did. It was by the testimonials of others that I was Induced to try It. I shall always rely upon your advice and fcol safo to do ns you tell me." Dr. I'lerce's Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and other orguns of digestion and nutrition. It cures through tho stomach diseases which ncem remote from that Oigan but which have their origin In dlseaso of tho stomach and Its allied organ;.

Slnco his urrest Wolter tins disposed of his stock of goods at Schuyler to F, Kropf, his brother-in-law, for $3,000. His liabili ties aro said to havo been $5,000.

WASHINGTON, March The crisis lit the Chinese question brought about through the expiration of the period allowed for the signature by China of the Manchurlan agreement was tho principal topic today. The conviction that tho United States had done all that It tould to prevent tho con summation of this arrangement, und to make cltar to tho public tho complete dis approval which Is entertained by the United States government for this sort of secret treaty-making, It was deemed proper to give out for publication the following mem orandum: . "Chlnpse correspondence, March 1, 1901. Telegraphic Instructions sent to the rep resentatives of the United States In Deri In, Vteuua, Paris, London, Home, Toklo and St. Petersburg. Department of State, Wnshlngton, I). C, March 1, 1001. Tho following memorandum, which was handed to the Chlneso minister on February 10, Is transmitted to you for your Information and communication to the government to which you nre accredited; "The preservation of tho territorial In tegrity of China having been recognized by ull tho powers now engaged In Joint nego tiation concerning tho Injuries recently tnlllcted upon their ministers and nationals by certain ofllclols and subjects of the Chlneso empire. It Is evidently advantage ous to China to continue the present Inter national understanding upon this subject. It would bo, therefore, unwise nnd dangerous In tho extreme for China to make any arrangement or to consider any proposition of n private nature involving the surrender of territory or tlnancial obligations by con vention with any particular power, and the government of tho United States, aiming solely at tho preservation of China from tho danger Indicated und the conservation of tho largest anil most bcnellclnl relations between the emplro and other countries, In accordance with tho principles set forth In Its circular note of July II, 1900, nnd In a purely friendly spirit toward the Chinese empire nnd nil tho powers now Interested In tho negotiations, desires to express Its sense of tho Impropriety, Inexpediency, nnd -'ven extreme danger to tho Interests of China of considering any private territorial or tlnancial arrangements, at least without tho full knnwledgo and approval of all the powers now engaged In negotiation. "HAY." .No Cli i.i ie In Miitim. AsHUinlng that tho arrangement Is to be carried out, It Is still the contention of tho State department that nohlng has oc curred to change the status of the United States toward tho open door as applied to nny part of China, Including Manchuria. As far as written pledges can commit n power, Kussia stands pledged to accord to tho United Stntcs tho open door If sho tnkes control of Manchuria, either directly by annexation or Indirectly, but quite ob effectually, by the means as shown In this Husso-Chlneso agreement. That Is the view of tho Stuto department, and that view Is endorsed by tho entire cabinet. Tho' administration believes tho secret agreement between Russia and China Is In violation of the spirit. If not tho letterof tho general understanding to which all the powers subscribed last summer, anil tho United States government is prepared to uso all Its moral suasion and Inllilenco to prevent Its consummation. Further than that, however, this government Is not pre pared to go. Tho piesldent und members of the cabinet believe It Is conceivable that Kussia is entitled, perhaps, to some rep uraio guaranties from China for tho pro tection of Its railroad concession in Man churia, but not to the extent which It Is understood tho czar's government Is to obtain by tho secret treaty. This government has information regarding this treaty, and while thero Is no indication of tho exact nature or source of tills information, It Is considered accurate and definite. The president and cabinet, it is understood, havo no direct in formation concerning tho imminent rupture between Russia and Japan, or Its extent, but tho developments are being watched with eager Interest. Generally It Is not bo llovcd hero that thero will be a collision between tho two powers, us there Is a strong impression that Japan would not un dortuko a war with Russia single-handed and there Is no Indication that she would bo Joined by another power. ( Tho news from tho Philippines, as com municated to tho cabinet by Secretary Root, continues not only reassuring, but much more favorable than could havo been antici pated. The president Informed tho mem bers of the cabinet that ho had sent for Mr. P. C. Knox of Pittsburg, who was In Southern California, and that upon his ar rival hero on Thursday It was his Intention to formally offer him the attorney general ship. Whcolsl Whcclsl Wheels!

The dogs readily took up the trail, which led from a blacksmith shop, where tho tool wero obtained, thence to a livery stable and to the bank. Two rigs had been stolen, nnd after the robbers had driven nway the offi cers waited for daylight to follow the wheel tracks. After tho robbers had completed their work the men were lined up In single file and the lender gnvo the orders: "All ready, forward march." Tho robbers were ns cool ns soldiers on dress parade.

Much more horrlblo than tho first reports of the tornado yesterday nro the rcautus which have thus far come out this morn ing. It Is mill impossible to compile the tuil list of the deau and wounded, but It is now certniu that eighteen persons were killed nnd that thirty to forty wero more or less Injured. The path of the storm was wide. It covered practically every hamlet In Jefferson county. Tho following cities wero especially vis ited: Dlrmlngham, I'ratt City, Dcssemvr, ltondatc, Urlghton, North Dlrmlngham, Trussvlllo and Wectns. Twenty houses wero razed to the ground. At Brighton tho school house was de molished und tho daughters of Mrs. Stud- der and Mrs. Walker wero severely Injured on tho bead. At I'ratt City tho Methodist church, tho High BChool building, tho commissary of the Tennessee Coal nnd Iron company and thirty negro shacks wero demolished. Tho villages of Trussvlllo and Weems are re ported destroyed, but word cannot bo re ceived from them, us all telegraph nnd tele phone wires aro down. President Robert Jamison of tho Mr- mlnghnm Hallway, Light and Tower com pany estimates tho property loss In Ilur- lulligham alone at $200,000. Tho towns of North Birmingham and Woodlnwu nnd Avondalo wero also visited and scores of houses wero damaged, but no loss of life Is reported there. Alii for Survivor, Hvcry effort Is being made today In the storm-stricken section of Birmingham to give ull posslblo relief to those who lost their ull by the fury of tho winds. Troops guarded the devastated district last night und II r emeu and policemen searched the ruins, but no moro dead bodies wero found, and, up to 10 o'clock today, no additional deaths had occurred. Mayor Drcnuen, who Is directing the relief work, estimates that $10,000 will relieve the Immediate wants of tho sufferers. Thu larger part of this hus already been raised among citizens and a citizens' meeting will be held nt noon to raibc the remainder and to moro per fectly orgnulzo tho distribution of the ro lief funds. Tho majority of tho tornado sufferers are negroes nnd tho poorer classes of whites. Just how many people wero hurt in thu storm will probably never bo known. Many who sustained comparatively trilling Injuries paid no heed to their wounds In their anx iety to fut" their scattered houshold effects and to look after their dead and those who wero seriously Injured. Tho names of about llfty Injured havo been obtained, but this number Is thought to be about half thoso who wero really hurt. Tho property loss Is estimated In tho city at from $200,000 to $300,000. A careful revision of the death list places the total number of dead In tho city at thir teen, several persons who were missing and had been reported dead having been located. Two negro workmen reported missing at Irondalc nro believed to be dead under wrecked buildings.
