THE SEARCH
For the Missing Brought to Light
Many Persons Who Were Mis-
taken.

The search for the remains of Geo.
R. Waters, whose body was found
floating in the river at Briscoe, was
t--orough one. 1t develops the fact
that the neighborhood between here
and Marietta is full of men named
Waters all of whom look alike. 1t
also showed how easily some people
can be mistaken and how willingly
others to contribute fiction when facts
are what are wanted. According to
the various clues, Waters was seen in
a dozen places on both sides of the
river Saturday, Sunday and as late as
Monday. The clerk in a store at Ma
rietta who was positive he sold Wat
ers fountain pen Saturday night and
to make his contribution to the chain
of evidence stout, added that in trying
the pen the purchaser wrote Waters
several times, must have peculiar sus-
picions concerning his veracity about
this time. The Belpre peoples posit-
iveness only shows how easy it is to
be mistaken. There were too many
people anxious to see their own theor-
, ies vindicated and their fictitious evil
dence was wish that was father to
the thought, A stranger in Belpre
hereafter will have to conduct himself
very straight else he be accused Of be-
ing off in his head. Poor old Truth
has been badly banged about in this
neighborhood for the past four days.

Roosevelt's Rough Riders have not
won an enviable reputation for them
selves by their doings in New York.
They may be all right for war, but the
arts Of peace are unfamiliar. Their
colonel read them a sermon before
they were mustered out, which showed
that he at least was familiar with
their shortcomings. There is not the
slightest evidence in their recent con-
duct that they profited by it to any
extent. The Rough Riders are brave
men and gallant fighters, but they
were no braver than our own volun-
teers, who have come home, been mus
tered out, and behaved themselves like
gentlemen.

The Democrats seem to take new
hope as the campaign progresses from
the fact that the surplus in the treas
ury Of the United States is growing
again. One OF the most frightful
things that the Democratic Party has
ever been confronted with was sur
plus, for in the 60 years in which it
had control Of National affairs it never
was able to accumulate one The Re-
publicans propose to take care Of the
surplus and use it wisely for the coun-
try's needs, The people have trusted
them in the past. are trusting them
now, and will trust them in the future.

KANSAN SHOWS PLUCK.
Rides Horseback From His Ranch to
Gotham to Enlist.

New York May 2.-Oscar NJ. Burchard,
travel-stained and dust-begrimed, rode in
to town today on a mustang from Kansas
to enlist.
Things got too slow out on the ranch"
he said, in speaking of his experience.
Nearly all the boys wanted to go to the
front, and it did not look as though we
would get much chance in Kansas.
I'VE got the papers one day and read
that New York troops would be the first
called on and that the Sixty-ninth regi-
ment would certainly be one Of the regi1
determined then and there to come east
and join it Being pretty, keen eel with til t this
rifle. I thought maybe they could use me
a scout.
My horse Weyler-the boys gave him
that name because he's so durn treacher-
ous-wanted to come, too, and I did not
like to part with him. 1 could not afford
to pay both our fares, so 1 just naturally
rode in"
Burchard rode 1900 miles. He has join
ed the Sixty-ninth as a scout.

SAME AS CUBA.
Independent Government is Projected
in the Philippines.

New York, May "A copyrighted ca
blegram from Singapore, to the World
says: Upon the arrival at Hong Kong,
Gen. Aguinaldo, the insurgent leader
of the Philippines, will probably be
transferred on an American dispatch
boat to join Commodore Dewey at Ma
Mia. Aguinaldo's policy after the Phil
ippines have been captured embraces
the independence of the islands and the
internal affairs to be controlled under
European and American advisers.
The insurgents desire American pro-
lection, temporarily at least on the
same lines as proposed after the Cuban
campaign.
The scheme includes free trade to the
world, safeguards enacted against an
influx of Chinese aliens, a complete re-
formation in the corrupt judicature un-
der European officials; the entire free
dom of the press and public utterance,
a general religious liberation, the abOH-
ton and expulsion of religious fratern-
tiles, the church being represented by
secular priesthood; provision for facil-.
tiles to exploit resources, the building
of railways; the removal of the re-
strictions on enterprise and the invest
ment of capital.
AguinaldO could undertake the main
tenance of public order.
The Spaniards have committed a hor-
rible massacre of a defenseless pOpula-
ton. Cebu City was almost entirely
destroyed.

CUBANs ENLIST.
Forming a Regiment at Key West for
the Advance on Cuba

Key West May 2.-The enlistment of
Cubans today at the Marti club resulted
in the enrolment of $50 men.
The arrival of General Emilio Nunez,
Colonel Acosta and Sonar J. E. Cartaya
has greatly augmented the enthusiasm of
the Cuban colony. General Nunez has
been the director of numerous expedi-
tons.
General Nunez and his party are ar
ranging for the departure on the Mas
cote tomorrow of the Key West cont1n-
gent of the Cuban regiment now forming
at Tampa. The CubanS hope this regl-
ment will be one of the first to land. Gen
eral Nunez is acting under instructions
from General Estrada Palma Last night
he endeavOred to obtain passage to the
son. but he was unsuccessful, no boat
left for the flagship.
General Nunez is much taken with the
idea of making Matanzas the base of op-
erationS. Although the city itself is sub
ject to the fever, the hills a mile and
a half back from the coast would furnish
an ideal camp ground in every way more
healthful than Tampa.
When last heard from General Maxine
Gomez had in all the armies 25.000 able
bodied men. Since that time there has
been no fighting of consequence, and the
Cuban armies must now be in better con-
dition except in the matter of clothing.
There is abundant forage everywhere in
the island.
There is no truth whatever in the re-
port of the execution last evening of Jose
Yglesias, who is under surveillance on the
monitor Puritan as the result of SuSpi-
cious behavior near one of the magazines
last evening.

MELBA tainted
During a Fire Panic in San
Francisco Theater.

San Francisco, May 2.-Toward the
close of the operate performance by
Madame Melba in the California thea
ter last night, the bursting of a steam
pipe in the adjoining building, occupied
as the headquarters of the fire depart
ment, caused a quick fire. The old
wooden building was soon in a blaze
and the people in the crowded theater,
seeing through the window, the reflec-
tions of the flames, disregarded the re-
assuring statements of the manage
ment and attempted to rush from the
building. A panic followed, in which
many women tainted and miracu1ously
none was seriously injured.
The audience was composed of the
most fashionable people in the city and
valuable ornaments were lost. Ladies
in their wild attempts to escape from
fancied danger left furs, bonnets,
wraps and jewelry. These were tram
pied under foot and many valuables
were stolen.
Nine. Melba tainted on the stage The
fire department building was destroyed
as well as also the st. Georges stables
The damage to the theater was slight
caused by smoke and water. Loss
Sic, 900.

LEAPED FROM THE BRIDGE,
Nearly. browns Himself and Two
Others in the Kaw.

While trying to save small boy from
drowning near the Rock Island bridge
yesterday Hal Niles and Max WardaIl
two Topeka young men, had a narrow
escape themselves, but fortunately were
finally rescued.
A small boy was standing on the
Rock Island railroad bridge when the
switch engine crossed the river He
became badly frightened and jumped
off making an effort to land on the
small island which abuts the bridge.
TIE boy missed his calculation and
fell into the river. Wardau and Niles
started their boat to save the boy but
the small craft upset. Wardall was
caught under the boat but Niles res
cued the boy, ant the same time getting
out of danger himself
The boat was carried down the river
by the high water, and the prospect
for WardaIPs rescue was not f1attering
at the moment. However,, the boat
was carried by the howser which anch-
ors the dredging machine near the new
bridge and the young man seized it,
hanging on until a stranger from the
north side of the river rowed over and
took him into a boat and to the shore.
Wardall had chung to his boat until the
>hawser came in his way. He then
abandoned it and devoted his energies
TO saving himself.

THE OREGON AT RIO.
The Battleship and the Mariet-
ia Safe in Port.

Washington, May 2.-CabIe messages
received in this city announce the ar
rival of the battleship Oregon at Rio
Janeiro and that the gunboat Marietta
is expected there today.
Having knowledge of the safety of
the warships in Brazilian waters, the
officials have ceased to pay any partic-
ular attention to the torpedo gun vessel
Temerario, flying the Spanish flag,
which is still reported to be at La
Plata, Argentina. 1t is possible. how
ever, that Spain will now have to con-
Germ herself about the Temerario, as
there is some discussion in naval cir
cles as to the advisability .of sending
one of the men-of-war at Rio Janeiro
back to find and destroy the Spanish
ship. The probabilities are, however,
that just as soon as the Oregon and
Marietta have coaled they will continue
on their way to Key West in accord
ance with the plan outlined by the ma
val war board.

New York, May "A special to the
World from Tampa, Fla, says:
Five thousand troops and as many
Cubans as the Cuban junta can get here
will leave Tuesday night for Matanzas
for the first invasion of Cuba.
The World correspondents informant
says that an army officer told him that
he had seen an order from the secretary
of war ordering the troops to move
Tuesday night, MatanZaS being their
objective point. Transports are expect
ed Tuesday.
1t is known that of the 80 days ra-
lions given out few days ago, none
is being used, and the regimental Off

commands ready to move at moment s
notice.

been served out with 800 rounds each
and all soldiers have full cartridge
belts.

washington, May 2-When asked if
the army was preparing for an invasion
of Cuba at an early date, Secretary OF
War Alger replied:
I'VE are preparing for immediate act
ion and we try to keep SO prepared, but
plans made today may, of necessity,
have to be changed tomorrow, and that
is why we are compelled to keep such
absolute silence, for every detail that
becomes doubtful necessitates another
change"
The president has decided that there
shall be five army corps OF three d.
visions each.
While this feature of the organization
may be changed, there is no likelihood
of it, since it has the sanction of the
military authorities This will give the
president an opportunity to appoint
major generals, five in command of
army corps, one of which Gen. Dodge
has declined, and Is in command of di-
visions Each division will be composed
of three brigades, which will make
commissions for 45 brigadiers. Each bri-
gade will be composed of three reg1-
mentS.

New York, May 2.-There was an
enormous pressure to buy stocks at the

$500 shares of Burlington were made
from 95 to 81. Sugar was also eagerly
bought and rose quickly SIS to 40.
Gains in other specialties ranged from

generally, the rise was between 1 to 2
points.
There was great excitement on the
exchange.

BEWARE OF CONSUMPTION.

Lung disease is never so prevalent as
in the spring time. The system has IN
dergone severe hardships from the
many changes of weather during the
winter and early spring, and in conse-
quence the body is weakened The
breathing organs, especially the lungs,
suffer the most, and lung disease is
therefore the most common at this time.

a slight cough, but the final outcome
will be death if neglected. It requires
