sorrow for the deatli of Baron von Kettel

wont to tlui Tsung li Yunien on t ho day
of hie death against her wishes.
Her iniijeety expresses regret that the
capture of the Taku fortB should have
complicated matters, but ordern that
the lloxers he surpassed and the foreign
K'lititiiiH in I'ekin protected. The
whole tone of the edict is to hold the
foreigners hliwuublo for the gravity of
tlui crisis. Two hundred and fifty white
refugees from Tien Tsln have urrived in
Shanghai.

Catarrh Cannot lie Cured
with local applications, as they cannot

taken internally, and acts directly on
tho blood and mucous surfaces. Hall's
Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine.
It was was prescribed by one of the best
physicians in this country for years, and
is a regular prescription. It is composed
of the best tonics known, combined with
the tiest blood purifiers, acting directly
on the mucous surfaces. The perfect
combination of the two ingredients is
what produces such wonderful results in
curing Catarrh. Send for testimonials,

Smallpox at Nome.
Washington, July, 11. The treasury
department received a telegram from
Lieutenant Jarvie, of the revenue cutter
service, saying that there bad been been
twenty cases of smallpox to July 2 at
Cape Nome, and asking for medical of
ficers and supplies.
The telegram is dated Cape Nome,
July 2, and was cent to Port Townsend,
the nearest telegraph station. Lieuten
ant Jarvls was sent to Cape Nome as the
special representative of the tho treas
ury department. He does not say
whether these cases have appeared in
the crowded camps or on shipboard.
Two vessels that started for Cape Nome
recently found smallpox aboard shortly
after leaving Dutch Harbor and it is
possible that the cases spoken of are on
board these vessels, although there are
many rumors that the disease has brok
en out ashore. Tho treasur-, department
has ordered 1000 vaccine points sent to
Norao and a number of physicians have
gone there.
After many Intricate experiments,
scientists have discovered methods for
obtaining all the natural digestante.
These have been combined in the pro
portion found in tiie human body and
united witli substances that build up
tiie digestive organs, making a com
pound called Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. It
digests what you eat and allows all
dyspeptics to cat plenty of nourishing
food while the stomach troubles are
being radically cured by the medicinal
agents it contains. It is pleasant to
