RAPID WORK
FROM THE START
Spanish and American Commissioners
Worked in Perfect HarmOny-NO
Attempt to Delay the Caring Out
of the Terms of the Protocol.

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Sept. 26.-The
American commissioners to arrange for
the evacuation of Porto Rico have been
emineL tly successful in their dealings
with the Spanish commissioners, and it
is believed that within three weeks at
the farthest the last of the Spanish
troops will have sailed for home and the
stars and stripes will be unfurled over
San Juan.
Transports are due in week, and the
indications are that in three weeks at
the most, General Macias will relinquish
control of the last foot of Porto Rican
territory.
A fitting celebration is being arranged
for the occasion of the flag raising at
San Juan. Both the naval and military
forces will participate. 1t case General
Macias will accept, it is probable that
dinner or reception will be given in his
honor by the American commissioners.
The mission of the commissioners has
been accom- plished without friction.
More or less trouble was anticipated at
the outset, but our commissioners have
been agreeably surprised at the frank
ness and candor the Spanish commits
sioners have displayed.
The language of the protocol was plain,
definite and specific. 1t provided for the
immediate evacuation of the island. On
its text our commissioners stood, and to
their qualification they found the Span
ish commissioners not only acquiescent,
but seemingly anxious to retire from the
island ct the earliest possible moment.
The Spanish authorities realized that
the entire population had become sud-
denly hostile to them; that they had
been dispossessed by the high court of
war, and that they were there no longer
by right but by sufferance. Accordingly,
they made every effort to cooperate
with the American to expedite the evac-
uation, with the result that the last
Spanish troops will soon have sailed for
Spain.

How to Prevent Group.

We have two children who are subject
to attacks of Group. Whenever an attack
is coming on my wife gives them Cham
berlin's Cough Remedy and it always
prevents the attack. 1t is household
necessity in thisEcountry, and no matter
what else we run out of, it would not do
to be without Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. More of it is sold here than
of all other cough medicines combined.

PECULIAR POIsONS.
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY
The Result of Imperfect Digestion of
Food.
property.

Every living thing, plant or animal,
tain decay and death.
In the human body these germs of dis
else and death (called by scientists
Ptomaines), are usually the result of
imperfect digestion of food; the result OF
indigestion or dyspepsia.
The stomach, from abuse, weakness,
does not promptly and thoroughly di-
gest the food. The result is a heavy,
sodden mass which ferments (the first
process of decay. poisoning the blood,
making it thin, weak, and lacking in
red corpuscles; poisoning the brain and
causing headaches and pain in the eyes.
Bad digestion irritates the heart, caus-
ing palpitation and finally bringing on
disease of this very important organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys,
causing Bright's disease and diabetis.
And this is so because every organ,
every nerve depends upon the stomach
alone for nourishment and renewal, and
weak digestion shows itself not only in
loss of appetite and flesh, but in weak
nerves and muddy complexion.
The great English scientist, Huxley,
said the best start in life is sound
stomach. Weak stomachs fail to digest
food properly, because they lack the
proper quantity of digestive acids (lactic
and hydrocloric) and peptogenic pro-
ducts; the most sensible remedy in all
cases of Indigestion, is to tai e after
each meal one or two of Stuart Dyspep-
sia Tablets, because they supply in a
pleasant, harmless form all the elements
that weak stomachs lack.
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure every form of stomach
trouble except cancer of the stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure blood
strong nerves, bright eye and clear
complexion, because all these result only
from wholesome food well digested.
Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets at so cents a full sized
package or by mail by enclosing price
to Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich, but ask
your druggist first.

ahall, Mich.

NEW HAWAIIAN
GOVERNMENT
Form to Be Territorial, With One Rep
resentative in Congress.

Honolulu, via San Francisco. Out. q.
The Hawaiian Star has published an
outline of the form of government de-
cided upon for Hawaii by the congress
sional commission. The Star says it is
to be called the territory of Hawaii, and
be allowed one representative in con-
gress as though Hawaii was state. The
governor to be appointed by the presi-
and will receive salary of five or six
thousand dollars year.
Hawaii will have legislature, and
will make her own laws, subject to the
approval of congress. There will be no
change in the present form eff the legis-
lature. To vote fer senator in the ter
ritory of Hawaii an elector must have
an annual income of 5000. In everything
else the franchise is free and unrestrict-
ed by any qualification. The judiciary
system will remain undisturbed.

with all sorts of prosecutions, and the
latter were the subjects of the impor-
tunitles of the rich Porto Ricans within
the Spanish lines, who feared that the
Spanish soldiers, as last act of cruelty,
would despoil them of their property
and perhaps murder them. Some of
the appeals were both frantic and hys-
terical.
Steps were taken to prevent disorder
as far as possible. 1t was natural that
in the transition from the control of the
Spanish government to a condition of
liberty those who had suffered for gene
rations at the hands of the govern
ing class, should seek vengeance.or that
private individuals shoule seize the oI-
portunity to obtain redress for private
wrongs.
1t was finally arranged that wherever
the Spaniards in the concentrating
movement evacuated a town or position,
the lines should overlap, that is, that
our troops should enter the town shortly
before the Spanish retired. There was
no hiatus and no opportunity given to
the lawless element.
When ever our troops entered Span
ish town or position, by the arrange
ments of the commissioners, the com
mander of the Spanish force delivered
an inventory of all the Spanish military
and government property to the COM
mandlng American officer and took the
latter's receipt. This plan obyiates the
necessity for sending commission over
the island to inventory government
property.

MADE MANY
APPOINTMENTS
No Protests Entered Against AuthOri~
zatiOns-A Very Quiet Day in
Both Houses of the Legislature.

SALEM, Or, Oct. 4.-Outside of
the vote for United States sena-
tor, the legislature had quiet day.
No new business at all came up in the
senate. A good deal was accomplished,
however, in the way of second readings.
One of the more important measures
disposed of provides for a joint COM
mittee to sit after the adjournment of
the special session for the purpose of re-
vising and codifying the school laws of
Oregon, and present it's report at the
regular session. Daily of Benton and
Mulkey of Polk were appointed on the
part of the senate. The purpose of the
committee has the sanction of the retir-
ing and incoming superintendente. The
committee is forbidden to incur any ex-
pense.
In the house half dozen new bills
were introduced. Among these was one
by Curtis of Clatsop, which was made a
special order for Thursday morning, tax
ing from the sheriff the power of desig-
mating in what paper notice of sheriff
sales under execution shall be published
and placing the choice with the judg-
ment creditor.
At the beginning of the session the
house set its face sternly against the
committee-clerkehip abuse. So uncom-
promising was the demand for reform in
this matter that the power of appointing
clerks was taken from the committees
and it was required that all appoint
ments should have the sanction of the
house or be imperative.
Yesterday dozen committee clerks
were authorized, and today score, and
not voice was raised IN protest. In
fact, the drift is so unmistakable toward
allowing all the clerks applied sfor, and
as many as has been customary. that
one chairman created ripple of merri-
ment by serving notice that he didn't
want any clerk for his committee. The
house yesterday restricted the insane
asylum committee to a single clerk, but
today it authorized the committee to
employ expert assistance necessary for
the work in hand.
In the house the bill to incorporate
Condor, Gillian county, was passed.
Freeland of Morrow introduced a reso-
luton asking the appointment of a joint
committee to Investigate the best means
of improving the Columbia river at &C.
lilo. The committee is to report at the
next session.
Both houses adjourned early in the
day till 10 a. M. tomorrow.

HOW MIR. RAGsDALE WAS "DoNE."
He met the bunco ~ateerers, pre-
tended to be interested in their story,
bought $1,000 in bogus money for $500
in genuine, found himself possessed of
an ornate tin box, which he was ready
to take oath contained his spoils, babe
farewell to his new found friends,
opened the box and found therein q
bunch of neatly cut blank paper and
three nice new dollar bills.
Detective Sergeants Murphy and
Sullivan left police headquarters Fri
day morning with Harry Phillips in
tow. They were en- route for the
Gravesend police court, where Phillips
was arraigned on a charge of "doing"
Mr.. Clarence Ragsdale, of Moberly
and Mexico, Mo-, ont of $500.
The prisoner was arrested at Bay
Ridge Thursday, and the fact that his
pockets contained three twenty-dollar
gold pieces, which Mr.. Ragsdale says
used to be his, is not held to be strongly
in his favor.
Mr.. Ragsdale, who is thirty-two
years old and a solid man In Moberly,
received a green goods invitation a
month ago. He came to New York,
determined to ferret out the whole
affair and expose the m~iscreants.
His detailed instructions led him to
Jersey City, Fishkill and finally to
Gravesend.
There, in a road-house, the trick
was turned. He gave up $500 in good
hard pieces of twenty and received
the familiar locked tin box in OK.
change.
Bidding his friends goodbye, which
he hoped would be only temporary,
Mr.. Ragsdale started for Washington
and the Secret Service Bureau Wis
Jersey City. At the station he felt q
desire to gloat over the triumph he
was about to achieve, so he battered
the tin box open and laid bare-three
genuine dollar bills, backed by q pile
of paper.
Straight to Chief McClusky Their
fed Mr.. Ragsdale. His story told, the
detectives were put upon the trail,
and Thursday they landed Phillips.
He is an old offender and his attempt
to tell how he happened to coincident-
ally have three twenty dollar gold
pieces in his pocket was 80 dismal q
failure that the officers gathered him
in.
Mr.. Ragsdale says he cannot under
stand, first, how he happened to "give
up' his five hundred so easily, mol
second, how the sharpers exchanged
