C, to let you know what a wonderful thing Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery did for my little boy. He was taken with indigestion when he was a year a half old. and he was tinder the doctor's treatment for five long years. We spent all we made for doctor's bills, - and' ft did no good. He could not eat anything only a little milk and cracker, and sometime even this would make bim sick, and he got very weak; could not ait np all day, and I gave up all tope of his ever getting any better. Loolclftg over one of your books I noticed Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery rec ommended for indigestion. We bought some and gave to our boy. Two bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov ery cured him. . He is well as can be, and can eat anything that he wants and it does not hurt him. He has not been sick a day since, and it Has bean three - years since he took your medicine. I pray that God will always bless you and your meaiane." p (MDQOEB! - - .- . : ,. r- THE BUT OF LIFE.

The Expedition to Pao Ting Fn Boxers In Great Force Near That Plsce. Foreign Diplomats ia Pekln " Discuss Imperial Edict. - , ar Teiesrraph to tne Mornlna star. Washington, Oct. 13. The Russian suggestion that the international court of arbitration of The Hague be given jurisdiction over divergencies of views arising on the question of Chinese in demnities, was submitted to Secretary Hay by M. De Wollant, the Russian charge d'affaires in Washington, in a note on October 3rd. It has received the adherence of the American.'f rench and Russian governments, thus giving the suggestion the approval of three of the foremost Powers, and a strong as surance of its general adoption. - M. De Wollant's note has not been , made public. It can be stated, however, that it was the result of extended ex changes between the French and Rus sian governments relative to the six proposals, and4then added new a sug gestion relative to giving The Hague tribunal jurisdiction of indemnity in case there should be divergence of views. Not being a formal proposi tion, but merely an incident to the ap proval of the French note, it has not called for a formal reply of acceptance ; but the Russian authorities have been furnished with a copy of the American reply to the French note, wherein our approval is given 10 tne nussiaa sug gestion, so that it is none the less effec tive in giving American adherence to the plan. It is understood also that Austria and Italy, and probably Japan look with favor upon The Hague sug gestion. , The movement promises to give the first practical realization to the Czar's movements in bringing about the in ternational congress of The Hague. The court of arbitration received the approval of the various governments represented at The Hague, and its formal organization is in progress. The importance the United States at taches to it. is indicated by the choice of ex-president Harrison and ex-Senator George Gray, of Delaware as the American members of the tribunal. The Advance on Pao Ting. Tien Tsin, October 12, via Shan ghai, October 13. The- expedition against Pao Ting Fu departed in the mornin? in two columns. The Ger man, French'and Italian ' troops, who are to take part under command of General Bailloud, head of the French military force in China, will follow the direct route to Pap Ting Fu, while 2,000 British soldiers under Lord Campbell will make a detour to the south of Pao Ting river, through a number of large villages supposed to be Boxer communities. Both columns will keep in touch with' the boat and, train which accompanied them. A junk, armed with a naval 12-pounder and two Maxims, is with the Pekin column. The expedition will make a demonstration through a wide terri tory not hitherto covered by the allies. While no opposition is expected at Pao Ting Fu, the commanders believe that hostilities are possible in the inter vening country. - To Join the Empress. Paris, October 13.

A dispatch re ceived here from, Tien Tsin, dated Oc tober. 12th, says: At a conference of diplomatists at Pekin, October 8th, the German note of October lit was discussed. In re gard to the, first point, whether the list of ringleaders contained in the Chinese Emperor's edict was complete, the conference declared the names of the chief culprits, Tung Fuh Sian and Yu Sin were omitted. On point two, it was decided that 'the punishment was inadequate. On point three, it was concluded that the penalties must be carried into effect by delegates of the legations.

STRIKING COAL MINERS' Convention Decided to Accept the Ten Per Cent. Advance in Wares on Cer tain Conditions. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Scranton, Pa., Oct 13. The an thracite coal miners now on strike, after a two days' convention, late this afternoon decided to accept the ten per cent, net increase in wages offered by the mine owners, providing they will continue the payment of the advance until next April , and will abolish the sliding scale. If the operators con sider the proposition unacceptable, the miners are willing to arbitrate the questions at issue. They also decided to contiue the strike until the operators agree to the convention's proposi tion. Judging by the unanimity of the miners and by the determined staid taken by the operators, it is generally believed that along contest between the strikers and the mine owners is not unlikely. There was great " enthusiasm in the convention when the counter proposi tion to the operators was carried, and cheers were given for President Mitchell. The resolutions were drafted by a committee of thirteen, appointed at the morning session, of which the national president was chairman. Mr. Mitchell in an, -interview with a representative of the Associated Press on the outcome of the convention, said: "The action of the delegates in con vention to-day in accepting an ad vance of ten per cent, providing they receive assurances that the advance will continue in force until April 1st, next year, demonstrates that the miners are considerate of the public interests involved and are disposed to be conciliatory. "1 cannot understand any good rea son why the operators should not ac cept the conditions named in the resc- ution. L. of course, hope that there will be a speedy termination of this contest, and I believe that in the future the operators will be disposed to treat with more consideration their em ployes than they have in the past" - . The statement by the press com mittee, regarding the proceedings of the contention, says: 'Waile the motion was pendine. President Mitchell addressed the con vention., and took occasion to deny, positively, the statements made by some of the metropolitan papers charg ing that political influences were dom inating the Convention, and that the representatives or any political party had been in conference with him. "When the question was put the resolutions were adopted unanimously by a rising vote, amid ringing cheers. At 4:15 P. M., the convention ad journed sine die." ' President Mitchell and the other national officers now here will return to Hazelton Monday where the tem porary national headquarters are lo cated. THE SITUATION IN CHINA. Two Armed Movements That of the Re lormistff and the Anti'Foreign Up rising;, Led by the Black Flogs, By Cable to the Horning Star. Pabis, Oct 13. Letters received in diplomatic circles here throw a some what better light on the situation in Southern China, where an an ti dynas tic uprising is now in progress. 'The reformist movement there is divided into two distinct parties one led bv Kang-Yu-Wei and the other by Sun-Yat-Sen. The former is agitating for drastic reforms, but wishes to retain the present dynasty, while Sun-Yat-Sen aims at denosine the Downcer Empress and making a clean a ween or the present, regime. Sun-Yat-Sen is leading the present rebellion. The last authentic news of his .where abouts was of his presence at Yoko hama, three months ago. But since then he is believed to have smuggled himself into Southern China and to be leading the reformist rebel forces, his plan of campaign being the capture of Canton, when, he calculates, the whole of South China will join him. In the event of his seriously threaten ing Canton, Great Britain and France, possibly, assisted by the other Powers, would be forced to oppose him, which would create a curious situation. The Powers would then be acting against the rebel forces in the South, which are anti-dynastic and friendly to foreigners, and at the same time engaged in suppressing the Boxer rebellion in the north, which is pro-dynastic and anti-foreign. Ih the meantime, Kang-Yu-Wei is Inactive, owing, it is -supposed, to the pressure brought to bear on him by Great Britain to which country he owes his liberty if not his life, for he escaped from the clutches of the Dowager Em press on board a British warship some time ago. At the present moment there are two armed movements in Southern China that of the reformists, led by Sun-Yat Sen, anti-foreign, and the pro-dynas- A.1 ! i "rti tj -nil ho uprising . 01 ine xuacK ' lags, wno are marching north to assist the Dow ager Empress.

Louisville to night gave - Governor Roosevelt an enthusiastic reception, the1 programme concluding with a crowded meeting at the auditorium. This was in contra distinction to the greeting offered at Elizabethtowo, the last stop before the special reached this city. At that place the Governor suf fered the first indignity thrust upon him in the State. Bowling Green had cheered the Governor .until his ears rang with plaudits, and Mum ford villa gathered at the train where the speaker's stand was erected, receiving him with expressions of good -will. But at Elizabethtown no sooner had the Governor mounted the platform, with General Buckner and other mem bers of his party, than an attempt was made to break up the meeting. Small boys carried Bryan banners in the outskirts of the crowd and empty coal wagons were driven at full speed tnrougn tne square. The steam whistle on a mill close by was blown loudly, and half a hundred men or more shouted "Hurrah for Bryant" when the Governor began speaking. jjespite the fact that he had a sore ness or his throat which had com pelled him to shorten all his earlier speeches during the day, the Governor proceeded to make himself heard in spite of the noise in the crowd. Above the shriek of the steam whistle rane the words: "I call your attention to the attitude of Bryan's friends on the subject of law and order." Then he waved his hand to the crowd and con tinued: "It is natural that tha men who have tried to deprive Kentucky of a free ballot should be opposed to free speech. It is not extraordinary that the men who have stolen the Gover norship and who seek to steal it again should not dare to hear the truth of history, but should seek to gag an American citizen even before he had' uttered one word of his opinions in a political controversy." This brought cheers and more inter ruptions and the Governor was urged not to further endaneer his throat but to permit a substitute to finish the programme. He rejected the sugges tion, however, and spoke the full fif teen minutes allotted to him. and was escorted to the train by a large crowd. "just a put up 10b to break uo the meeting," waa Governor Roosevelt's comment when he returned to his car, "but I guess I got back at them." Chairman Burnett and Secretary Coombs, of the State Central commit tee, telegraphed news of the trouble to this city and urged local Republican organizations to redouble their efforts in showing Governor Roosevelt that Kentuckians are not lacking in cour tesy and hospitality. ' When the train reached Louisville it waa stormed bv an admiring, curious, surging mob, which followed the party to the Gait House. Including the sneech to hi?ht Governor Roosevelt has addressed nine audiences in Kentucky since 9 o'clock when he spoke at Henderson. To morrow he will rest quietly, reaching Lexington at 6 A. M. Monday. FIGHTING IN PANAY. Filipinos Lost Twenty Killed and Forty Wounded-Two Americans Wounded. By Cable to the Moraine Star. ' Manila, October 13. Advices re ceived here from Iloilo.
