Counter tetter Dunn -Eicapei.
A telegram from Deputy United BUI
Martini Cheater , dated at Burlington , It
evening , conveyed the Information that Ed
* . Dunn , a counterfeiter , whom he was
aklng to the penitentiary at Fort Madison ,
had Jumped from the train Jurt before It
cached 'Burlington ' and had succeeded In
making his escape. Deputies Cheater and
Dclmege wcro taking Dunn , Whlttlerey and
several other prisoners whom Judge Wool'
son tad sentenced to Imprisonment , to the
ort Madison prison. No details wcro given
.n the telegram beyond the mere announce
ment that Dunn had jumped from the train.
Junn was convicted of passing counterfeit
money and using confederate bills to do-
raud. Ho was sentenced lo eighteen
months and a flno of $600. Just before
Dunn was taken away Special Agent Don-
ella of Omaha secured permission from
Marshal Christian to take Dunn to a photo
graph gallery and have his picture taken.
At the time It was looked upon as a rather
unnecessary proceeding , for Dunn was the
very personification of meekness and Inno
cence. The attaches of the marshal's office
are now extremely glatt that the pictures
were taken , otherwleo only a written de
scription ot the man could have been given.

\ext Election.
Today will be the last day when It will
bo possible for voters who have neglected ta
register to do so without an affidavit. No
affidavit ccti bo accepted from voters who
nave been In the city during any of the
dajs of registration , unlecs that voter should
conclude that his vote Is of sufficient Im
portance to Justify him in committing per
jury. To vote by affidavit he must bring
before the properly accredited officers twc
citizens , who are freeholders , and who musl
be able to swear that the voter was out o !
the city duvlug all of the days of registra
tion. Here are three chances for making
mistakes that the law can regard &a per
jury. The registration hes been very com
plete , but there are undoubtedly a large
number of voters who have changed theli
places ot residence since the election last
fall , and they should take advantage of the
last opportunity which Is offered today ti

It had been turned from the outside wit

upper part of the house from the basemen
was by means of a door opening from th

DCS MOINES , Marcti 23. ( Special Tele-
rani. ) The Omaha appropriation bill waa
Escd by the senate today and the amount
xcd At | 20,000. The senate committee on
pproprlatlons yesterday agreed to report In
aver of $10,000 , a small majority favoring
hat amount. When the bill was called up
oiUy by Chairman Garst , he altered on bchall
f ten members of the committee , an amend
ment to fix the amount at $20,000. Senator
'uscy of Council Ulufffl made a strong address
n favor of the amendment and was followed
y Senator Bolter , democrat , who also urged
ho appropriation. Ho said ho would prefei
o give tbe full amount carried by the house
111 , $30,000 , but It could not be carried. Or
oil call the $20,000 carried by 37 to 12 , those
otlng against It being Dell , Berry , Crate
Evciall , Pinch , Harrlman , Hotchklcs , Kll-
iunn , Lewis , Lyon , Wallace and Wilson ,
ilanchard was absent. The bill -then passed
vUhout a dUsentlng vote. The amount wae
xc'I at $20,000 on a tacit understanding thai
he house should Insist on Its $30,000 and e
onfcrence should decide cm $20,000 as a com-
iromlce. This will undoubtedly the film
adjustment.
The Whelan resolution pacecd ( do senate It

LONDON , March 26. The Russians , ac-
ordlnR to a speclil dispatch from Shanghai ,
mvlnR ordered the Chinese to leave Port
Arthur , the mandarins and soldiers arc bolt-
ng pell-mell with their baggage to Chec
Fee , Nlu ChwatiB and Ta Kn.
Thrco of Russia's largest battleships , says
a special dispatch from St. Petersburg , will
hortly proceed through the lloaphorus for
Chinese water ? .
The Pekln correspondent of the Times cx-
> lalns that his statement of Thursday as
o the concession to Russia
of a twenty-five-
year lenso of Ta Lien Wan as an open port
should have read as on Icd-frco port. Ho
adds :
At the sung 11 y.-\rnen yesterday ( Thurs-
iny ) further condition. ! were ngrecil upon
ejecting the Ta Lien Wnn lease. Russia
iKrees that the port shall be open to ships
mil the commorcp of the whole world , with
n customs tariff similar to that of n Chinese
rcaty port , nlthoiiKh Its mlmlnl * tniton ! nml
collection will be the eame ns at any other
lusstan port.
China Imvlns- represented that Ta Lien
an Is tertaln to supplant Nlu Chwiing as
ho chief port ot ( Manchuria nnd to cau en
oss In the Imperial customs revenue , Husli :
Undertakes to contribute to the Chinese KOV-
rnment the balance of the customs col-
cctcd at Ta Lien Wan , nfter payment of
expenses.
Though this arrangement Is obviously tern ,
porary , 'the Chinese are much nattered by
he concession. The conditions generally
arc cleverly designed to conciliate the trud-
ng nations , while Russia will consolidate
ts power and strengthen Its base prior to
he absorption of Manchuria. Russia has
notified China that Japan has withdrawn
objection. In consideration of Russia's with
drawal from Corea.
PEKIN , March 25. The tsung 11 yamen ,
t la reported , has notified M. Pavloff , the

Several Important modlflcattosa have been
made. It Is said , In the original proposal' ' . ' ,
nit the Russians and the tsuog 11 yanicn are
tccplng profound secrecy on the subject for
the present.
Prince Kung has retired from the pres
idency of the tsuig II yamen and has re
ceived ten ilaje1 sick leave. The slckcicea
Is probably diplomatic cad due to his dis
satisfaction with the trend of events.

MEN CALL WOMAN A MYSTERY.
80 She Is to Thorn Not so to a Woman.
A Woman' ! Knowledge SBTCS Mrs. Ebbert From n Operation.
A woman understands women as a man never can hope
to. For this reason Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham. of Lynn ,
Mass. , now known all over the English-shaking world ,
set to work to help hersex.
After long and patient investigation , Mrs. Pinkham
confirmed her own conclusions , namely : that seven *
eighths of the sufferings of women are due to dis
orders of the uterine system. Reasoning on this line ,
she saw that the only preventive of early breaking
down , was a specific medicine which would act
alone on the female organism.
This was why she prepared her excellent Vegetable Compound , which
has been such a boon to thousands and thousands of women. If you have
headaches chiefly at the top of the head , and are troubled by painful menstrua
tion , dizziness , sleeplessncssl backache , and that bearing-down feeling , Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will tone up your whole system. MRS. CIIAB.
D. EBBKRT , 330 Wood St. , Reading , Pa. , testifies to the
great power of the Compound.
"Mrs. Pinkham I can say that your medicine has cured
me of the pains and troubles which I had. My case was
a very bad one , and puzzled the doctor. My womb had
fallen and I had terrible pains in my back and hips.
I could hardly walk. My husband went to our fam
ily doctor , and he prescribed medicine for me , but
I found no relief , and grew worse instead of better.
The doctor examined me and wanted to perform an
operation , but my husband would not consent. Seeing ?
the advertisement in the paper , I got a bottle of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound , and before I had
taken half of the second bottle , I felt like a new wo
man. In all I have taken four bottles of your medicine , and can say that 1 am
entirely cured. I hope that every woman suffering as I did , will follow my ad *
and t .Un voiir medininn at. nncn. "

Consumption approaches Its victim step
by step. Viral there Is n little "out of
sorts " fecllnir , the eliccstlon Isn't just right ,
the appetite falls off , the liver Is inactive ,
the assimilation of the life-giviiii ; elements
of the food is Imperfect , the blood pets Im
pure ami the body Is Improperly nourished.
These conditions pet worse ntul worse. The
heart through the arterial system is pump
ing thin , poisonous blood Into every organ
of the body. The organs that arc Inherently
weakest break down first. Ordinarily the
lungs. An the last straw that breaks the
camel's back comes n cold , however slight.
This , with the accompanying cough , com
pletes the work and an invasion of the germs
of consumption follows. Dr. I'icrcc's Gold
en Medical Discovery cures oS per cent , of
all cntcs of consumption. It corrects the
conditions that lead up to it. It is the great
