ENOUGH OF MANILA.
All the Volunteer Regiments Clamor
to Come Home.


Washington, Nov. 16.-Great pressure is
being brought upon the war department
to have the volunteer troops now in the
Philippines return to this country. Nearly
every state that has troops stationed at
Manila has asked, through its governor
or representatives in congress, that these
troops be sent home. This pressure comes
through the relatives and friends of the
volunteers and is started by the troops
who have been writing home. Some of
these letters published in the state papers
at the homes of the enlisted men have
created wave Of sympathy for the vol
unteer soldiers in Manila While they
do not recount very great hardships, eX
cept among those who are i'll, they do
show that the life is very obnoxious and
that the duty of policing the city of Ma
Mia and remaining inactive is very disa-
greeable.
1t is said at the war department that
from duty in the Philippines at the pres
ent time. The uncertain conditions that
exist in the island of LuZOn make it ut
terly impO ssible to get along with a smaller
number than are stationed there at pres
emit General Otis has been asked by cable
if troops could be spared and has replied
in the negative.
The great demand that has been made
for the muster out of volunteer regin entS
individual members of such regiments
will form the basis of a, strong recon-
mendation in the annual message of the
president for an increase in the regular
army. This new force will be needed to
take the place of the volunteers who de-
sire to return home and leave the service.

FIRST WORD
FROM BRYAN
The Colonel Discusses the Re-
cent Election.
Maintains That Nothing Was
Settled by the Vote.
REPUBLICAN VICTORY
Was Solely Due TO the Success
full War.
Battle of 300 to Be Fought on
Same Old Lines.
REPUBLICAN VICTORY

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 16.-Co1onel W. J.
Bryan has given to the Associated Press
the following interview relative to the
late election:
'FWhile I do not understand that
service in the Volunteer army prevents
a soldier from expressing opinions upon
political questions, I declined to take
part in the late campaign lest should
be accused by partisan opponents OF
attempting to embarrass the admins
tration. Now that the election is over
I shall exercise a citizens privilege OF
discussing the returns.
COMPARED with the election Of 1885,
the Republicans have gained In some
places and lost in others. It was not
2 sweeping Republican victory. On the
whole the result is not surprising, when
it is remembered that the administra-
ton is just concluding successful war.
while a majority of the soldiers are
probably anti-Republican, the manage
ment of the war has been entirely in Re
publican hands, and the strongest argu-
ment used during the campaign was
that a Republican defeat would discred-
it the president in the eyes Of foreign
nations, while his commissioners were
engaged in making a treaty.
1T was not trial upon the issues
now before the people but a successful
plea for a continuance of the case. The
people have not accepted the gold
standard; they have not fallen in love
with the plan to give the banks a mo-
nopoIy of the issue of paper money;
they have not decided to retire the
greenbacks; they have not surrendered
to the trusts.
ssThese questions were forced into the
background by the declaration Of war
but they must be faced again as soon as
peace is restored. The Chicago plat
certain vital, economic questions. That
platform has not been abandoned by
those who endorsed it in 1896. 1t will
be reaffirmed in 1900, because it gives
expression to the hopes and aspirations
of a large majority of the party.
when the Democrats, Populists and
Silver Republicans favored Cuban in
dependence, they understood that war
the party in power. but they were will
ling to risk defeat in order to aid the
people fighting to be free.
Neither can the election be regard
ed as an endorsement of any definite
foreign policy. Until a treaty Of peace
has been entered into and the terms
made known the people cannot pass
judgment upon it. Whether the war
will raise any question Of sufficient i'm
portance to turn public attention away
from domestic problems remains to be

And Save Endless Suf-
fering which Winter
Brings.

The most offensive of all dis
eases becomes more intense as cold
weather approaches. In fact,
many who have been under treat
ment for SO long, and during the
summer feel little discomfort from
the disease, are almost persuaded
that they have been cured. But
the first chilling blast of winter
proves that the disease is still with
them, and as the winter advances,
their Catarrh grows in severity.
Those who have felt only slight
touch of Catarrh may be sure that
only cold weather is needed to de-
velop the disease. What appears
to be only bad cold will prove
more difficult to cure than for
merIy, and will return with more
frequency, until before long the
disease is fully developed.
For years suffered from q severe
case of Catarrh, and took several kinds
of medicines and used various local ap-
plications, but they had no effect what
ever. I was induced to try s. s. s.
(Swift's Specific) and after two months
I was perfectly well and have never
felt any effects Of the disease since.
'+B. P. MOALLIsFER,
"Harrodsburg, KY"
It is easy to see the Importance
of prompt treatment for Catarrh.

NEVER WAS HIS WIFE.
Patrick Tyrren Says That Kate Tyr
rell is His Sons Widow.

Another chapter has been added to
the Tyrren divorce proceedings by the
filing of an answer by Patrick Tyrrell,
in which he states that Kate Tyrrell is
not and never has been his wife. He
says she is the widow of his son, and
consequently his daughter-in-laW.
This is a very sensational statement
as Patrick and Kate TyrreI have been
living together for a number of years
as husband and wife. On September
16 last Kate Tyrrell filed a petition for
divorce, alleging that Patrick Tyrren
was her husband.
Mr.. Tyrrell supplements his state
ment about Kate Tyrrell by saying that
he was married in Buffalo, N Y, in
1850, to Mary Shannon and that the
bonds of matrimony have never been
dissolved
Tyrren goes on to say that he fur
nished the money to buy the farm of
$50 acres south of town, and that Kate
Tyrren had it decided to her in her own
name while he was absent from the city

SUICIDE AT WINFIELD.
Walter Phi ilIips, a GuthrieY Dung
Man, Shoots Himself in Temple

Winfield, Nov. 16.-Walter Phillips,
young man who says his parents live
near Guthrie, o. T., shot himself in the
right temple Monday afternoon at the
home of Henry Hardzog on East Ninth
avenue. He will die.
Miss Hardzog and Miss Maud Stith
were the only witnesses to the tragedy.
The unfortunate young man boards
with Mr.. Hardzog and it seems had just
finished eating dinner. He came out
of the dining room into a front room,
picked up a revolver, walked back into
the dining room and raising the gun to
his right temple, pulled the trigger. The
bullet entered the brain, making a hole
at which the brains oozed out. DR..
Geo. Emerson was summoned and ex-
amined the wound and said the man
could live only a short time. A half
brother working at the crusher was
hastily summoned and is now with his
brother.
Miss Hardzog refused to discuss the
matter, stating she had rather tell
her story as a witness and an inquest
may throw some light on the tragedy.

Commenting on the election of two
Socialists to the legislature of that state,
the New Bedford, Mass, Standard says:
In Connecticut Tuesday the Socialist
Labor party cast 2.206 votes, an in
crease of 952 over the vote of 1896. In
ats immediate aspect, at least, it is time
to regard socialism an politics as a fac
tor which can not longer be ignored.
Public men and politicians have got to
have ideas about it, and have got to
consider its relations to the community
and to themselves. The persistency and
the devotion Of the socialists to their
Faith make so much plain.

Get a Start
On Catarrh

Those who get a start on the dis

find cure less difficult. Catarrh
increases in severity year by year,
and becomes one of the most OBJ

But it is equally important that
the right remedy be given. All
local applications of sprays,

WIRE WORMS.
They Are Now Destroying Acres of
Wheat in Lincoln County.

Lincoln, Nov. 16.-M. F. Heating of
Colbert has twenty-three acres of wheat
infested to a greater or less extent with
a wire worm. They are in sufficient
numbers to make the entire field look
pretty sick
Some of the neighbors' wheat also has
wire worm; how badly is not known,
but they are there.
Generally, if not always, the worm is
in ground which was plOwed late. The
theory is generally held that the worm
was in this years stubble and was a
product of the latter part of the sea-
son. Some believe that the. worm Is
destroyed by quite deep blowing of
stubble land.
