ENCOUNTER AT A COVETED GATE
EalMr'i Heo Start It by Trjin- to Fasa
tbe Guard One buot is Fired Yankee
Missea Ilia Target, But Wings tbe
Latter' Comrade.
PEKIN, May 27. The United States
legation guard has had its first trouble.
Legation street is being repaired near
the legation and an American sentry
was placed at the point with orders to
direct people around a side street.
Everybody obeyed the request with the
exception of the Germans, both officers
and soldiers, who have caused th
American sentries much trouble.
One of the German officers drew his
sword and charged an American sol
dier, who brought his bayonet to
"charge," whereupon the officer desist
ed. Subsequently a German soldier
charged past the sentry, who fired,
hitting another German soldier near
the German legation, a quarter of a
mile off. This fortunately was only a
light flesh wound. The sentry was
placed under arrest and Major Robert
son has instituted an investigation.
The attitude of Dr. Mumm von
Schwartzenstein, German minister,
representing the civilians, and Count
von "Weldersee, representing the mili
tary, as well as that of other high of
ficials has been particularly friendly
toward the Americans, which make all
the more pronounced the unfriendly
feeling evinced by a majority of the
German officers and men. This un
friendliness is attributed to the Ameri
can attitude in retaining control, with
the legation guard, of one entrance to
the Forbidden City, which the Germans
consider a. reflection on their national
honesty.
Today's meeting of the ministers of
the powers was devoted to closing up
details of business independent of the
Indemnity question, although the mili
tary authorities of the various powers
seem to consider a settlement in sight,
as general preparations are being made
for the evacuation of Pekin in the
early future.
Two German marine batallions have
left for Tsing Tau and British trans
ports have been ordered. Count von
Weldersee expects to leave about the
middle of June.
Emperor Kwang Hsn has instructed
agents to prepare the palaces for oc
cupation by the court as soon as the
troops depart.
WASHINGTON". May 27. Officials
here attach no importance to the dis
turbance between Germans and an
American sentinel at Pekin. Such af
fairs, while regretable, it is 6aid, are
to be expected, especially where the
difference in the languages spoken
might lead to a misunderstanding of
orders. No report of the incident has
been received at the war department.

Ilnndred Street Car Passengers Caught
In Albany Collision.
ALBANY, N. Y., May 27. Electric
cars racing for a switch while running
in opposite directions at the rate of
forty miles an hour cost five lives this
afternoon by a terrific collision, in
which over forty prominent people
were injured, some fatally and others
seriously.
The lobby of the local postoffice filled
with dead and wounded, hysterical
women and children looking for rela
tives and friends, surgeons administer
ing temporary relief and ambulances
racing through the city taking the
wounded to hospitals, were the early
intimations of the accident.
The scene of the accident was a
point about two miles out of Green
bush, on tbe line of the Albany &
Hudson railway. The point where the
cars met on the single track was at a
sharp curve, and so fast were both
running and so sudden was the col
lision that the motorman did not have
time to put on the brakes before
southbound car No. 22 had gone al
most clean through northbound car No.
17 and hung on the edge of a high
bluff, with its load of shrieking,
maimed humanity. One motorman
was pinioned up against the smashed
front of the southbound car with both
legs severed and killed instantly,
while the other one lived but a few
minutes.

open and admitted a mule wagon
bearing three former United States

Captain Newt Hall, United States ma

ister Conger with cowardice in con
nection with the defense of the lega
tions at Pekin, has just reached Wash
ington. Admiral Remey has promulgated the
finding in a special order which com
pletely exonerates Captain Hall from

Tartar wall.

WESTERN CANADA'S
DECEMBER WEATHER
Equal to That of May in Minnesota.
To the Editor: Thomas Regan and
C. Collins of Eden Valley, Minnesota,
went out to Western Canada last De
cember as delegates to look over the
grazing and grain lands that are being
offered at such low prices and reason
able terms. This is what they say:
"We arrived in Calgary about the 20th
of December and although we had left
winter in Minnesota and Manitoba, we
were surprised to find beautiful warm
weather at this point, quite equal to
what we have in May in Minnesota.
There was no snow nor trace of win
ter to be seen, and the climate was
really splendid. Horses, cattle and
sheep were running out, in prime con
dition, with plenty of feed on the prai
rie, and really better than that of oura
stabled in the south. We are im
pressed with this country as one of the
finest mixed farming countries we
have ever seen. The Immense tracts
of fertile lands well sheltered and
abundantly watered leave nothing to
be desired.
"Leaving Alberta we returned east
and visited the Yorkton district in
Assiniboia. We drove out about ten
miles at this point and were highly
pleased with the splendid samples of
grain we were able to see wheat
yielding 23 bushels, oat3 CO bushels.
Roots were also good specimens. From
what we have seen, we have decided
to throw in our lot with the York
toners satisfied that this part of the
country will furnish good opportuni
ties for anyone anxious to make the
best of a really good country."
"Any agent of the Canadian govern
ment, whose advertisement appears else
where In the columns of your paper
will give you full particulars of the
new districts being opened out this
year in Assiniboia and Saskatchewan.

A woman is sick Borne disease peculiar to her sex is fast
developing in her system. She goes to her family physician
and tells him a story, but not the whole story.
She holds back something, loses her head, becomes agi
tated, forgets what she wants to say, and finally conceals
what she ought to have told, and this completely mystifies
the doctor.
Is it a wonder, therefore, that the doctor fails to cure the
disease ? Still we cannot blame the woman, for it is very em
barrassing to detail some of the symptoms of her suffering,
even to her family physician. This is tbe. reason why
hundreds of thousands of women are now in corre
spondence with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. To
her they can give every symptom, so that when she is ready
to advise them she is in possession of more facts from her
correspondence with the patient than the physician can
possibly obtain through a personal interview.
Following we publish a letter from a woman showing the
result of a correspondence with Mrs. Pinkham. All such
letters are considered absolutely confidential by
Mrs. Pinkham, and are never published in any way or
manner without the consent in writing of the patient; but
hundreds of women are so grateful for the health which Mrs.
Pinkham and her medicine have been able to restore to them
that thev not only consent to publishing their letters, but
write asking that this be done in order that other women
who Buffer may be benefited by their experience.
Mrs. Ella Rice, Chelsea, Wis., writes:
"DeabMes. Pctkham: For two years I was troubled with falling1
and inflammation of the womb. I suffered very much with bearinp-down
pains, headache, backache, and was not able to do anything. hat 1
endured no one knows but those who have suffered as I did. I could
hardlv draff mvself across the floor. I doctored with the physicians of this
town "for three months and grew worse instead of better. My husband
and friends wished me to write to you, but I had no faith in patent medi
cines At last I became so bad that I concluded to ask your advice. I
received an answer at once advising- me to take your egetablc Compound,
and I did so. Before 1 bad taken two bottles I felt better, and after 1 had
taken five bottles there was no happier woman on earth, for 1 was weU
again. I know that your Vegetable Compound cured
advise everv woman who suffers as I did to try Lydia L. Pinkham s Vege
table Compound. Believe me always grateful for the recovery of my
health." Mas. Ell. Rice, Chelsea, Wis.

Piles Cured While You Sleep
You are costive, and nature Is under a constant strain to relieve the condition. This causes a rush of blood to the rectum, and before
long congested lumps appear, itching, painful, bleeding. Then you have piles. There are many kinds and many cures, but piles are not cura
ble unless you assist nature in removing the cause. CASCARETS make effort easy, regulate and soften the stools, relieving the tension, and
giving nature a chance to use her healing power. Piles, hemorrhoids, fistula, and other rectal troubles yield to the treatment, and Cascarets
quickly and surely remove them forever. Don't be persuaded to experiment with anything elsel
