LISBON, N. D., April 21.—(Special.)-If there is any truth In the story comingfrom New Paynesville, Minn., and pub-lished in a recent issue of the Globe,in reference to the alleged pending pros-ecution of Mrs. R. C. Tetzlaff, in Cali-fornia, on an accusation of bigamy, inmarrying a private in the regular army,-without having obtained a divorce fromher former husband, the young womancan now snap her fingers at the minionsof the law, as she is a free woman, sofar as her former matrimonial allianceis concerned, her ex-husband having, ashort time ago, obtained a decree ofdivorce from her in the district courtof this county. The court records hereshow that Robert C. Tetzlaff and AliceA. Davis were married at Janesville,.Wis., Nov. 30. 1597. They lived for awhile at Elbow Lake, Minn., prior to re-moving to Anselm, this county, where.Tetzlaff was employed by the Soo lineas station agent and telegraph operator.While living in Minnesota Mrs. Tetzlaffwas a member of "Sunshine" lodge. NewPaynesville, but little sunshine seems tohave been infused into her married life.After a residence of about a week atAnselm. the young wife, who was thenonly about eighteen years old, with a"baby boy, was persuaded to leave herhusband, going to Colorado. Thence shedrifted to California, where she is saidto have formed a new matrimonial part-nership which is probably the one thatwas reported to be liable to make hertrouble.

A short time since, the poor, frail girl—for she is still really a child—afterlearning of the proceedings pending hereseeking the severance of the matrimonialbonds which still bound the fledglingstogether, wrote from Florence, Col., toher husband a brief but pathetic historyof her waywardness after her elopement

With Watson, a Soo brakeman. in which,she said: "I am a woman not yet twen-ty-one, but broken in trust and spirit.

J suspect everyone of base and selfishmotives. I trust no one young or old.2 suppose I am going to , for I gave"Up religion when I gave up everything

else. I have nothing to live for, noth-ing to care for; nothing to love left.So to the devil I go. I have, to add tomy misery, broken my arm and givenaway my baby, the fruit of my illicit

love. O' ;Tetzlaff is still an officer on the Soo

line living at Anselm, and has lately

put his neck into the matrimonial nooseagain by marrying Miss Minnie Seelig,

of Buttzville, N. D., the daughter of a.well-known German farmer.'The little two-year-old boy, the issue

of the marriage, has been awarded tothe plaintiff, and is being cared for byhis foster-mother.

1 111 A 111!MOVE OF FAR-REACHING IMPOR-

TANCE TO THE AFFAIRSOF CHINA :£p!p;

ADVISES A NEW POLICY

Conservative Reforms Recommended. - in the Document Which Treats

of Economic and Finan-;'•;cial Conditions.

WASHINGTON, April 21.— Chineseminister, Mr. Wu' Ting Fang, is about tomake a move of far-reaching importanceto the affairs of China and one whichcannot, it is believed, but engage thefavorable attention of all the foreignpowers interested in the affairs of theempire. He is preparing a memorial tothe Chinese government, based upon hisintimate acquaintance with the affairsof the Western world, and pointing outwherein there is the opportunity forChina to adopt an ; enlightened and pro-gressive policy, which will bring it Intoharmony with the sisterhood 'of nations,:and at the same time will relieve itfrom the present perplexities -which arecrowding upon . it at all hands. ;.\ Thememorial is a comprehensive document,covering twenty . heads, dealing with ad-ministrative, economic and financial ques-tions, and taking In practically, the en-tire range of government affah so faras there seems to be a present oppor-tunity of rehabilitating them on modernand progressive lines. The document .is,however, most conservative in characterand purposely avoids radicalism and ex-treme reforms- which have interfered,with previous efforts to bring about achange in the existing order of affairs. .

In determining upon this course. Min-ister Wu is acting entirely upon his owninitiative and responsibility, and with-out any reference to his status as minis-ter to Washington or any suggestionfrom officials here. Quite apart fromhis position as minister, he continues tohave a most lively interest in the wel-fare of his country. • Moreover, his longservice abroad, both in Europe and Amer-ica, his knowledge of the English lan-guage, and his keen powers of conserva-tion, have afforded him opportunities ofobserving how far the modern system ofthe Western world could be adoptedwithout shock to the ancient system ofChina. While he has had the matter, Incontemplation for some time, yet therehas been no occasion or opportunity, forgiving expression to his plans. Now,however, this opportunity has presentedItself in the form of a recent imperialedict inviting the high officials of Chinaat home and abroad—viceroys, governorsand ministers abroad— present to thegovernment every facility at their com-mand to aid In overcoming the nresentdisastrous condition of affairs.

Acting upon this edict, Mr. Wu ha*prepared his comprehensive memorial tothe government. Probably the most im-portant feature of the document 13 itsgeneral presentation of the view that the jtime is now at hand for China to adoptplans of conservative reform. In statingthe need and advantages of this, theminister's memorial will point to the les-son Japan has given to the world. Up Ito a few years ago the conditions in IChina and Japan were almost identical.But by the gradual adoption of modernmethods of procedure Japan has broughtherself into close communication with therest of the world, and now occupies anenviable position along with the otherrecognized powers. Minister Wu holdsthat there is nothing lacking in the re-sources of China or in. the character ofher people to keep her from securing thesame advantages which have come toJnnan. . -.

In some respects Mr. Wu's recommen-dations will take up lines of reform whichhave been brought forward by the pow-ers in the negotiations at Pekin andwill point out that instead of resistingthem it will be to the advantage of chi-na to go even further than the powershave suggested. For instance, one ofthe most important subjects recently un-der consideration has been that relatingto the establishment of a foreign office Iat Pekin to take the place of the tsungli yamen. The plan of the powers, asrecently made known in dispatches fromPekin, is that the old board of ten mem-bers shall be replaced by a new boardof five members, with a prince of theblood at its head, two ministers of for-eign affairs and two vice ministers, thelatter to have a* knowledge: of foreignlanguages. This plan has not been whol-ly satisfactory to the foreign ministeisand their governments, but they haveaccepted it with the belief that it will beat least an improvement on the oldtsung li yamen an one which would bemore likely to concur with China's de-sire to have important work performedby boards instead of by individuals.

Mr. Wu's memorial wi'l go even fur-ther than the powers have suggested asto the establishment of a modern foreignservice. Instead of a board, he will pro-pose that one official be given the au-thority and responsibility of directing theforeign affairs of the empire. He doesnot regard it as essential that this oneofficial shall be a prince of the blood, al-though if need be preference might begiven to a prince if he hai the cthe-requisites of ab llty for foregn adminis-tration. The memorial will urge thatthe supreme test In the selfdim of thishigh official shall be ability and fitnessfor the special duties to wh'ch he sappointed. It will be pointed out that byvirtue of his position he ?h>ull be amember of the privy council, and thusable to secure, ready acre's to the e-n---peror. While this oTc'al v 0..l l he charg-ed with the responsibility, yet for ad-ministrative purposes he would hive un-der him two or three assistants. \u25a0-' Thiswould constitute the en'ir> executive o~-ganization, so far as relrtes to the for-eign affairs of the ernpre, an ;chadditional officials as might be requiredwould be appointed simp'y for purposesof carrying on the business of the of-fice. There would be no need of two as-sistant secretaries with a knrwledge offoreign languages, as such officials wouldbe nothing more than interpreters. Mr.Wu's .plan is ;to confine '. responsible jau-thority within narrow limits, leavng as-sistants, intfrrre'.ers, etc.. to carry onthe administrative work.

In other res eet3 the memo-ial will pre-sent in detaT the best feat' r s of West-ern administration as appleable ;to Chi-na. The docament is practically com-pleted and s;o:i will be laiJ : before theimperial government.

PROMULGATION AWAITS THE DE-CISION. OF" THE SUPREME

SOME OF SUGGESTIONS MADE

Thirty-Three Paragraphs Have In-vited Criticism—fiume of the

Articles Thiftit SeekFree Doty.

; WASHINGTON, April 21.— is not like-ly that the new Philippine, tariff will bepromulgated until after the decision ofthe supreme, court In the insular cases.It is stated at the war department, wherethe matter has received considerable con-sideration, that this decision may makeit unnecessary for the government to es-tablish a system of tariff rates in thePhilippines, although the department hasproceeded with the work of equalizingthe rates and receiving and consideringsuggestions as though the coming! de-cision would not make any change in thepresent conditions. ..'^: •

Some months ago the war departmentpublished the tariff as prepared by thetariff-experts In the jPhilippines -and ap-proved by the Taft commission. Interest-ed parties, especially manufacturers andshippers, were invited tojj examine thisproposed tariff and make suggestions andcriticisms. It Is interesting to note thatof the "419 paragraphs in the proposedtariff, only thirty-three, paragraphs haveprovoked criticism or : suggestion. Eventhese are In a mild tone, and nearly alltake the form of suggestion. Some ofthe more important suggestions are em-bodied in the following:It is suggested that there will be diffi-

culty in making all duties specific, andthat in many cases perhaps ad valoremduties will be better. There are somaobjections to the metric system, asAmerican goods are in yard folds, andEuropean. goods are in metric folds. Ifthe yard folds are continued it would bebetter for the American manufacturers.

The Manila Chamber of Commerce asksthat four months Intervene between thepromulgation of the tariff. and its en-forcement. No provision is made formarking . olemargarine to distinguish itfrom butter. v- The dairy interests thinksuch a provision desirable. A lower rateis asked for gasoline to be used for fueland for launches. An ad volorem duty isadvised upon precious stones and watch-es. One firm suggests that copperas andoxide should be upon .the free list. . ;,It is claimed that cotton. should not be

admitted at a lower rate than fabricswoven from such yarn; also that I theweight and washing of cotton tissuesshould be changed in the interest cfcoarser cotton fabrics. There has beenquite an extensive discussion of this sub-ject, and It has been pointed out thatchanges in the Cuban tariff also wereneeded in this particular. ' • -.

The free entry of "news" print paperis advocated.

Reductions are asked of from 20 to 40per cent on harness and saddlemakers'wares. It is suggested that cheap andexpensive machinery should not pay thesame rates. Certain typewriter firmsVant the duty on their machines re-duced.

A change is asked in the classificationof meat products. It is said that theduty on alcohol should be doubled, ormanufacturers of whisky will be ableto use alcohol for making whisky at amuch less cost than the distilled product.

California manufacturers ask a reduc-tion on flour, cereals, prunes, benzine,gasoline and petroleum; some of themsuggesting that these articles be placedon the free list. Condensed milk andfish,,the Pacific coast desires, also shouldbe placed on the free list.

One suggestion made is that all ma-terials for the United States forces shouldbe admitted free of duty.

Some rather interesting. informationhas reached the war department in con.nection with the tariff, it being shownthat Russia sends to the Philippines two-fifths of all the petroleum imported bythe people of the islands.

NO APPETITE, NO AMBITION AND

Mr. Otto Foster, a salesman for

Goldenburg Bros., dry goods house,

aged twenty-one years, living at 2009

Olive street, Baltimore, writes:

"About three months ago I was a

wreck. I suffered with headaches,which were situated in the back part

of my head. Iwas very nervous,would tremble because excited at

times, and my heart would flutter sothat I had to hold my chest. I was

constipated, had pains in my stom-

ach, my eyes would feel heavy, andI would at times vomit in the morn-

ing. I had no_ appetite, no ambition,

and would feel sleepy, even after aprolonged sleep. After feeling thisway

for about two weeks I explained my "

trouble to an old gentleman, a friend

of mine, and he suggested that I'use

Ripans Tabules, saying he himself,

had used them for nervous trouble,and would recommend them with

pleasure to any one. I bought several'

boxes, and took one each evening be-

fore going to bed, and can gladly say

that I• obtained the greatest relief

after taking them a short time, r and

will recommend them to any one who

Is ailing. You may use this testimon-

ial as you desire."
