Tin: OMAHA DAILY T!EE: MONT5AT, SEPTEMBER 11, 1905. Woman's Kidney Troubles Lydia E. Pinhiiajn'a Vegetable Compound is Espe cially Successful In Curing This Fated Disease. fflrs.J.U. Lang and Of all the diseases known, with which women are afflicted, kidney dis ease is the most fatal. In fart, unless early and correct treatment is applied, the weary patient seldom survives. Being fully aware of this, Mrs. Pink ham, early in her career, gave exhaust ive study to the subject, and in pro ducing her jjreat remedy for woman's Ills Lydia E. rtnkham's Vegetable Compound was careful to see that it contained the correct combination of herbs which was sure to control that fatal disease, woman's kidney troubles. The Vegetable Compound act in har mony with the laws that govern the entire (omale system, and while there are many so called remedies for kidney troubles, Lydia E. I'inkham's Vege table Compound is the only one epc eially prepared for women, and thou tands have been cured of Kerlous kidney lerangements by it. Derangements of the feminine organs quickly affect tho kidneys, and when a woman has such symptoms as pain or weight in the loins, backache, bearing down pains, urine too frequent, scanty or high col ored, producing scalding or burning, or deposits like brick dust in it; un usual thirst, swelling of hands and feet, swelling under the eyes or sharp pains In the back running down the inside of her groin, she may be sure her kid neys are affected and should lose no time in combating the disease with Lydia E.

Blnce news waa received that peace negotia tions at Portsmouth were approaching a soncluslon, the correspondent of the As sociated Tress has made a survey of all tho Russian positions from Mongolia to headquarters, the object In part being to ascertain the extent to which -the efforts making for peace were viewed by the army. The negotiations received no of ficial recognition In the field prior to their successful conclusion, the army keeping In a state of preparedness for a battle un til the receipt by General Llnevlteh of a telegram from Emperor Nicholas declaring that the treaty had been signed and that his majesty accepted tho conditions ar rived at. This telegram was officially pub lished In the army newspaper on Septem ber 8, and the outlines of the peace condi tions were printed In the same publica tion today. The" officers 'thereafter observed military decorum In . the strictest sense, but the soldiers, with the consent of the officers, engaged In feasting and other forms of celebration. It will bo a week more before the entire army Is fully Informed of the conclusion of peace, but the news was discounted long since by the prevailing conviction that since the appoint ment of the plenipotentiaries, peace was a foregone conclusion. It may be snld that to the great majority of the of ficers and. men ao far Informed, the news that the war Is at an end Is most welcome. : Drink Roonnrll'i Health. Thousands are daily drinking to the heft lift. .of President Roosevelt. The cor respondent, who is the only remaining fore newspaper mun with the Russian army, waa everywhere asked by the men If he- waa an American and on - being answered In the affirmative they captured blm and tossed him many times in the nlr after' the manner of the Cossacks, while their officers gently protested against this seemingly questionable form of their ad miration'. Everywhere along the railway where newspapers could be obtained, the soldiers eagerly scanned the news and then ex pressed their Joy by singing, which they continued late Into the night. In Intervals Cheering for President Roosevelt. With the exception of the loss of a cap tain and ,lwo orderlies on the east front within the last two weeks and of nine men In the centre, a week ago, there have been no casualties.

Tho general Is mentioned as among the first who will return home. The disability of General Zerpltsky has steadily increased, and he will be com pelled to return to Europe. This officer was noted for his singular bravery throughout the war. He was wounded at Mukden, where he lost three-fourths of his Tenth army corps. It Is reported that General Llnevlteh will leave soon, The general staff is engaged In plans for chang ing the commanders throughout the army, preparatory to evacuation. Among the soldiers generally there Is a feeling of apprehension regarding the In ternal affairs of Russia, and many of them have expressed a desire to remain in Man churia Indefinitely. Prince Frledrlch Leopold of Prussia, who has been with the army since the begin ning of May, has announced his intention of returning to Germany. Some Want More Fighting. After a prolonged . war on an enormous scale, and after the great preparations recently made to continue . the struggle, the Russian army. In complying with the conditions of peace, surrenders two com plete positions with field works of vast extent and even more Intricate than those at Llao Yang, besides positions of great strength protecting Its communications, but notwithstanding this the correspondent found among both officers and men a gen erally prevailing sense of the remarkable fairness of the conditions by which the terrible contest has been brought to a close. The advocates of further fighting, however, seemed to be convinced that the flower if the Japanese army had gone, leaving only old reservtsts and Inferior recruits, while the 'constant strengthening of the Russians with young recruits they believed gave them a large balance of power which would have enabled them not only to fight one more great battle, but to enforce peace thereafter. The Impres sion prevailed among these advocates that the army was nearly twice Its real slse, and their feeling of strength was due to this exaggeration of the facts. Since the reception of the emperor's tes timony to the bravery and self-sacrifice of the soldiers and the declaration of the final acceptance of peace terms the army has become obediently passive. All peace news, except that direct from the ministers or the emperor, is placed at the end of the dispatches printed in the army publication and is given as little prominence as pos sible.

The Hong Kong Dally Press says: "As a result of a pamphlet written by Chevalier Volplcelll, the Italian consul at. Hong Kong, pointing out tho uselessness of torturing prisoners till they made false confessions an order has been received from Peking not to decapitate prisoners sentenoed to death save in very exceptional cases, but to resort to strang ulation, t'p to the present such a mode of execution was reserved for officials of rnore than one button, who had been sen tenced to death, and then It was Inserted in the official records as so and so was presented with a silk cord with which to commit suicide." But the man wan strangled by his keepers nevertheless. "Seven men have Just been executed un der the new rule and another whose crime, that of supplying arms and ammunition to the Kwangsl 'rebels, was considered of a more serious character, had his head chopped off according to the old custom. The men who were strangled were first of all tied to crosses and then -cords about their necks Were screwed up tight. Of the two I should say that this strangulation was the slower and the more barbarous way of putting a man out of existence. A large body of spectators turned out to see the "new fashion," several Americana and Europeans being In the crowd. As soon as. the affair was over one of the Americans Immediately stepped Into the ring to bargain with the No. 1 exeeutloner for the cords he had used. It Is really too bad that while some foreigners are writ ing against these publlo executions, others. Innumerable tourists and globe trotters. should be encouraging them; and, fancy, lor instance, the Indelicacy of a woman taking snap shots at such things. I know of one Instance of a tourist bribing the executioner to hold his sword In the air above the condemned man's head for three seconds so that a clear picture might be secured. It was a gruesome sight, and after the execution the blood bespattered tourist secured the executioner's sword, even preventing him from wiping It." Kumher Drown In Oklahoma. GUTHRIE. Okl..

Bee Want Booster Ads are the Beat Business BIG OPPORTUNITY IS CHINA Hong Kong A peat for British V'snufao tnrsn Outlinss Conditions, SAYS AMERICANS CAN GET IN STRONG Budaet of Interesting; Varna Picked t'p in Omaha Hotels Among Traveling Men and Clerks. H. Skott of the firm of H. Pkott A Co. of Hong Kong was a caller at the hotels yesterday. Mr. Skott is now on his annual summer vacation to escape the heat of Hong Kong. From here he will proceed to Portland., visit the exposition and thence embark on the Dakota at Seattle September 10. This Is the boat on which the Japanese peace commission will also sail. Mr. Skott had the pleasure of coming across the Pacific on the Minnesota with the commis sion and made the personal acquaintance of Baron Komura, Messrs. Sato and Dennl son and other members of the Japanese party. The Hong Kong merchant had the privilege of playing bridge whist with the Japanese baron and says he found him one of the most agreeable men he ever met. "During our conversation," said Mr. Skott, "Baron Komura told me he did not expect the peace conference to materialise on any definite results. Further than that statement he would not commit himself." Mr. Pkott has been selling Manchester. England, piece goods for twenty years In Hong Kong and has been a close student of the economic conditions of the great empire of China. "I look for great opportunities for Ameri can trade In China when that country Is opened up aa It should be. The sentiment of the native men of affairs In China, so far as I have been able to sound that sentiment. Is that they only ask that the better class of Chinese be admitted to this country. As Is generally known, China Is rich in mineral and agricultural resources and when the people are permitted to de velop those resources without paying trib ute to the mandarins, as they now have to do. this country will reap untold commer cial benefits. For every one article that Japan Will furnish the Chinese trade the United States will be able to furnish ten, hence the possibilities for trade will be readily realised." Ruble Philosophises on Threes, "Even If I did come to Omaha on Friday and was born on the thirteenth day of the month and lost my rabbit foot last ground hog day, I do not allow myself to become superstitious," remarked Clerk Frank Ruble at the Paxton hotel Sunday afternoon as he filled up the match receptacle and signed for a telegram. "But," continued Mr. Ruble, "I can say that things happen In series of threes. There Is no getting around It. Some people say It Is Just Imagination, but they would think differently If they would take the time to Investigate. Take the hotel busi ness, for Instance. Whenever a Johnson comes to the hotel two more will come here the same day as sure as fate. Loek here at Saturday's register and see for your self." And, sure enough, Saturday's sheet showed C. J. Johnson of Davenport, Arthur C. Johnson of Denver and M. C. Johnson of Boston. And other sheets of the register showed three Jones, three Browns and other names all appearing three times the same day. Saturday evening Mr. Ruble forgot the multiplicity of Johnsons on the guest list and had the name of Johnson called out I for a visitor, without announcing the initial. th " responded to the call, when some wag made bold to spring the old i Joke about too much Johnson. And Clerk - Ruble Is still sure things happen In series of threes. Organiser of Gooae Club Bnsy. Clerk Scott of the Merchants hotel is another man who has Just had honors thrust upon him, for he has been elected to be musical director oi the Goose club for the ensuing year. 8tate OrganUer "Rev." John D. Clark of the Goose club arrived at the Merchants hotel Sunday morning, after several weeks' absence out in the state selling wagons. When not selling vehicles Mr. Clark boosts the Goose club, which Is an organisation of traveling men who believe that It Is right to enjoy life In a proper way. Branch clubs are being established throughout the state. The state headquarters are at the Merchants hotel. Besides the social features of the Goose club that organisation Investigates little matters of general Interest to traveling men. One of the Important matters to be brought before the next meeting of the executive committee of the Goose club is the alleged exorbitant rates charged traveling men by the Lincoln hotel keepers during state fair week. Rumor has it that the grand pesilcator of the order will be Instructed to go to the capital city and slap the hotel men on the wrists for charg ing the knights of the grip more than usual rates last week. Always Pays to Be Civil, When it came R. L. Robinson's turn to tell a story to a group of fellow traveling men gathered at the Merchant's hotel Sun day afternoon, Mr. Robinson told of an experience he had out In the state during the last week. "Out In a little town in the western part of the state last Thursday I had an ex perience that shows the Importance of traveling men always keeping their tem pers upon trying occasions and even when they meet with rebuffs. I called on a young man whom I previously learned .had been given charge of his father's large busi ness. I told the young man who I waa. my line of goods and the name of ,my house. As I entered the store I noticed the youngster strutting down the store like a prise pig at a county fair, so con cluded to be all the more careful In my manner of approaching him. " 'Well, what do you think we want with & Co.?' answered the young man, referring to the firm I repre sent. " "I do not know that you want any thing to do with them, but I want to sell you a bill of goods,' I replied " 'Well, we don't want any of your goods and I am getting tired of you traveling men coming around here every day bother ing me,' he rejoined. "Then I gave him a little kindly advice on the wisdom of at least being civil, told him I once was his age and possibly aa foolish as he at that age. He then began to see things In a different light. His father came In. ovcheard the last of our coiversa- tlon and rebuked the son for his Incivility. We parted the best of friends and I wot not but the traveling man will hereafter find a friend In that young man." ' Alms-Seeker Couldn't Write, Clerk Hastings of tha Murray hotel usual ly keeps ahead of the game, but on Sat urday evening he had to buy. An old woman leading a 10-year-old girl by the hand, approached the clerk and asked for financial assistance, saying her husband had left her and she had but one potato In the sack at home. Clerk Hast ings was quirk to detect a strong smell of whisky on the woman's breath, so he directed her to a traveling man by the name of Montgreeve. standing nearby telling the woman Mr. Montgreeve was manager of the hotel, very hard of hearing and asked her to write her wants on an envelope Mr. Hastings handed her. "I can't write," shouted the womu In Mr. MontgTeeve's esr In such tones that they were heard in all directions for a block. PROBING CONGO ATROCITIES October Will See a Revival ef Agita tion Against the Preeeat System. LONDON. Sept. 10 -(Special Cablegram to The Bee.) This autumn Is expected to see great developments In the agitation against the atrocities In the Congo Free State. Meetings are being arranged all over the country, to commence In October. In all probability the lord mayor will preside over a great gathering In the Mansion House. Rev. J. if. Harris of the Congo Baloln mission it Barlnga. who has Just returned to this country, has brought with blm a vast amount of material In support of the charges against administration. Mr. Harris states that several of the officials known to be Implicated In the report of the com mission of Inquiry, are bolting from the Congo with the suspected connivance of the government of Belgium and In an in terview he told the tragic but typical story of one affair which occupied the commis sion for some time, vis., the expedition conducted by M. Hanotte, the agent of the Ablr company, against Sambekota. and the arming of the Ablr sentries with Alblnl rifles. Writing to the secretary of ths commission. Mr. Harris gives, with cor roborative remarks of his own, the story of a native eye witness: "I went with M. Hanotte when he made the raid on Ekota. I accompanied him as a peddler and then as a carrier Inland. We anchored at the Samba beach and slept the first night at Samba Itself. Next morning we started. W were armed with guns, and the Samba people accompanying us bore spears, shields, bows and arrows, !n order to assist. Toward evening we settled down In the forest for the night. Next day we surprised the Ekota people. "We met two boys at the entrsnce to the town. These were killed, but M. Han notte gave orders to kill only grown men In the future. The fighters went in every direction and killed a great many. At one place we saw a foot lying on the ground and M. Hannotte said, 'Throw It away.' "Further on we saw a murdered woman. M. Hannotte ordered her corpse to be thrown Into the bush. I saw at least five corpses, but many people were killed that I did not notice. "M. Hannotte himself saw many of tho corpses. The dead bodies were cut up and eaten by the Samba people and others with M. Hannntte's knowledge. "The chief, Naumbo Ngengl, camo and made peace, agreeing in the future to bring us rubber. "At the time of the visit of the commis sion of Ino.ulry M. Hannotte was," said Mr. Harris, "returning from Europe to the Congo. The commission of Inquiry met him further down the river and Inter rogated him with reference to the malad ministration for which he was responsi ble. "He replied to the commission, the sec retary of which sent me his copy of de positions, saying: " 'I took part in no expedition against Sambekota and no Alblnts were taken. In the month of October I made a peaceful expedition to this village and others of the region. I had an escort of five men armed with Alblnl rifles, and many car riers. "On May 8 Dr. Voght, the Investigating magistrate, visited my station to make in quiries into the many atrocities that had been committed In that district, but he said before he entered that he wished to ask me a few questions with regard to the administration of certain individuals, but he said I must first pledge myself neither to publish nor to, speak in public upon the matters to which he was about to refer. "I told him that I could upon no ac count give him such a pledge because I knew far more atrocities than had ever been brought to light, and It was quite likely that I knew already what he had In his papers. However, I did promise that I would not publish nor speak In public upon those matters not previously know nto me. "Then, he said, did I know anything about M. Hannotte's expedition against certain villages, at which he killed a large number of people, and at which he forced his fighters with a pistol at their heads to eat the corpses of the people killed. "I told him that I had already called the attention of the commission of inquiry to this affair. The only point of which I was in ignorance was that he held his pistol to the heads of his fighters to force them to eat the corpses. Dr. Voght told me that this Information had been obtained from the mouth of M. Hannotte himself while retailing this affair to some friends In Brussels or Antwerp during his furlough. How comes it that coincident with this M. Hannotte, who has been only a few months back from Europe, gets a warning to flee the country and does so with the sanction of the Congolese government T Can It be accounted for In this way? "M. Hannotte told me personally that he had the permlsslson of the Congo govern ment to go and attack these people be cause their rubber supply had fallen off." MORE D0UKH0B0RS COMING Russians Pass Through London on May to Their Colony In Canada, LONDON, Sept. 10 -(Speclal Cablegram to The Bee.) In the early hours of the morn ing a band of ISO Doukhobors arrived at Hay's wharf, Tooley street, on their way to Canada from Llbau. About ten years ago the members of this sect were ex patriated to Siberia in consequence of proselytism, refusal to give military serv ice and other offenses resulting from their strange religious beliefs. The upheaval In Russia caused by the war with Japan re sulted In their release, which was granted upon the condition that they emigrate to Canada. "Canada Is very glad to get them," said W. T. H. Preston, the Canadian commis sioner of emigration. "Their two chief distinguishing characteristics are their re ligious enthusiasm and their vegetarian Ism. About 10,000 Doukhobors are already settled In various parts of Canada and more than it per cent of them are accept ing the conditions of life In the Dominion and living as law-abiding citizens. "The Doukhobors dally expect the second coming of the Messiah and ths extremists have the belief that they must meet him unclothed. As they have more than once thought the second coming Imminent, and have acted up to their bellufs, troublous times have occasionally come upon them. "Two or thre years ago a body of of the Doukhobors In Canada were struck with this religious mania and started out to look for the Messiah. But when ths authorities found that the process of stripping themselves of their clothing was being Indulged In they sent them home to their respective farms. "Last year," added Mr. Preston, "a party of over fifty, of both sexes, acted In the sams manner. The authorities got word of It and found them making a nude but absolutely religious pilgrimage. Again stern measures had to be used before they could be Induced to put en their clothes snd behsve in an orderly manner." Gone cram jr.
