Got Into Trouble and Then Got out
Again with No Harm Done.

Perhaps your company would be interested
in knowing something Of my experience

was no pleasure in my breakfast, for imme-
diately after eating 1t l was in pain suffer-
ing from Indigestion, and generally became
SO sick that j was compelled TO throw part
OF the breakfast up.
l did not know what the cause of the
trouble was until ore of my friends who
had been affected in the same way told
me that he had got entirely over his diff
ficulty by quitting the use of coffee, and
using in its place the Postum Food Coffee,
from which he obtained remarkable results.
] made the change without any trouble, for
the Postum was latter one or two failures,
and we found out how to boil it properly
better than the coffee l had been accus-
toned TO.
In about three weeks I was so well that
found l could drink regular coffee without
having the old trouble but / could not get
back TO like berry coffee again, the Postum
tastes so much better TO me- and the fact
that / keep getting stronger ana sturder in
every way conviEces me that l am living a
more natural life.
find it best TO boil Postum steadily and
not let II boil too hard TO boil over,
but II should be allowed 10 continue boiling
q long time or IL does not taste right When
Il IL allowed full length OF time for boiling
IL lB certainly delicious. / inclose a list OF

cured OF their Indigestion by leaving off

Moonshine DistilIing in Indiana.

JefferSonVille News.
Deputy Revenue Collector Fred Conner
Of New Albany returned Saturday from an
official trip through several counties along
the river In Harrison county, near Rose
wood, he found q distiler who no doubt
was in days gone by genuine Kentucky
moonshiner. Captain Conner asked him
where he came from. The man ackhowl-
edged that he was native of Kentucky.
Captain Conner knew from the way in
which the plant was constructed that the
man had knowledge of moonshine stills it
was situated in the hills of Harrison, in
such a locality that a person would pass
within few yards of it time and again
without being aware of it's presence. A
unique plan for selling his output was de-
vised by the man. Under its operations a
person could purchase some of the dew
from the distiller without ever seeing him.
About half mile from the still, at a cross
roads, can is hung on a string. All the
prospective purchaser has to do is to drop
q quarter in the can, blow a whistle and
depart. Whe he returns he finds the can
full Of liquor and his quarter, of course
gone. Should any legal complications arise
the man who bought the whisky could not
swear that he purchased the stuff from any
certain person.

DESIRE OF FlLIPINOS
AGUINALDO AND HIS ADVISERS ANx-
IOUs FOR "A PROTECTORATE.
Native Press, However, Advocates In
dependence and Payment to Amer
lea OF Amount Given Spain.

MANILA, Dec. 1.-THE native press con-
tinues TO advocate independence and a re-
endorsement to the United States govern
Inent Of the amount to Be paid Spain for the
philippines. The Independence thinks this
course the only just one. It insists that the
T'ilipinos have aided the Americans solely
because they believed they were fighting for
Independence. The paper quotes literally
from President Mckinley's last speech in
Chicago to support its contention that the
Americans are pledged to give the Filipnos
Independence.
Chief Aguinaldo and his principal advisers
fully recognize the Importance Of a strong
protectorate ir some form. One of the lat
ter has even ventured the assertion that if
the Filipinos were granted independence in
accordance with the demand of the leaders,
the United States would be Immediately
asked to establish a protectorate, as other
wise the Philippines must sooner or later
become the prey of a less liberal-minded
country. This statement is borne out by the
attitude of the better class of Filipinos in
the vicinity OF Manila. The numerous stories
as to hostility felt and displayed on their
part towards the Americans are without
foundation. The United States authorities
expect on the part of the natives pedcefuI
acceptance of the inevitable.
The United States transport Newport,
bearing General Miller and staff, and the
first battalion, Twentieth Kansas Regiment,
with the Wyoming Light Battery, which left
San Francisco Nov. s, arrived to-day, closely
following the City of Puebla, which arrived
yesterday with Lieutenant Colonel Chiiders,
twenty-five officers and six hundred men,
including five companies of the First Ten
nessee Troop A, of the Nevada Volunteer
Cavalry a detachment of recruits for the
TWenty-third Infantry, and a detachment
for the California Heavy Artillery. To pro-
vide for the accommodation OF these new
comers will necessitate the transfer of
plumber Of United States troops outside the

received a telegram from Major Belinger

ty-first Indiana and Fourth Virginia on the

headquarters, with division hospital and sig

headquarters on the Panama. Doubt if you
will gain anything by sending troops from
here by way of Tampa on the Florida and
Whitney. 1t will take both boats to carry
one regiment Time taken in loading regl-
mentS here, unloading and loading at Port
Tampa and unloading at Havana will cause
considerable delay. Suggest shipping OF
freight, which might delay unloading of
transports at Havana, by Florida and Whit
ney. Perhaps this would be cheaper and
cause less delay than by returning ships
from Havana. General Lees entire corps
should be transported direct from this point
to Havana before Goth inst. Understand
from General Lee that authority has been
granted for landing troops at Havana docks
instead of at Marianao."

MARION, Ind, Dec. IA letter has been
received in this city that has created quite
a sensation. 1t is from Terre Haute and
says that John Watts, ex-city clerk of Ma
rion, who left few weeks ago, after en-
bezzling Sc, 700 of the city's money, was ar
rested in that city on Nov. %, and the letter
is an inquiry as to what has been done
with him. The letter further relates that
Watts was in the act of boarding St.
Louis train when he was arrested, and as
there is another train due in that city at
the same time for indianapolis he was put
on the indianapolis train and, together with
the officer, started for Marion. The officers
are now wondering if Watts really was ar
rested and if so why he was not brought
here. While circular letters, giving his de-
scription, and also his picture have been
sent all over the country the police here
seem to think. if he was arrested, it was by
some one who knew Watts and that the
officer had taken compassion on him and
allowed him to get away

AMERICANIZING PORTO RICO.
Gen. Guy v. Henry Begins His Work
of Reform with Energy.

SAN JUAN DE PUERTO RICO, Dec. T.
Gen. Guy V. Henry, the new governor of
the military department of Porto Rico, is
beginning energetically. He intends to hold
elections Of mayors and councilmen in ev-
cry town, and, if necessary to secure fair
ness, the elections will be under military
supervision. He will appoint a commission
to compel the local courts to bring to trial
and punish persons now in detention on
charges of incendiarism and assault. This
measure will be actively pushed. Another
proposal of General Henry is to send his
representatives to the various mayors to
gain their cooperation in his plan for in
stalling several American policemen in ev-
cry town.
Captain Lemly, of the Seventh Artillery,
has been detailed to visit the schools, with
a view of installing American teachers.
General Henry holds the designations of the
members of the insuar Cabinet, to act upon
as he sees fit. His policy will be to general
ize responsibility among the subordinates
and to break up the Capitalization of power
in the Cabinet. The eighteen army posts
have been grouped under three main heads,
and eventually the same course Will be pur-
sued with regard to the mayors Of the in
significant towns, thus eliminating unnec-
cssary civil expenditure and fixing the re-
spOnsibility of these minor officials to the
mayor of the nearest important place
Orders have been issued demanding a
thorough patrol of the country and direct
ing the patrol officers to work in conjunc-
tion with the mayors to bring offenders to
trial. Soldiers are no longer to be allowed
TO obtain exchange at the custom house at
200 per cent, and measures are to be taken
to keep the boisterous men under proper
control. Porto Ricans here are favorabiy
impressed by General Henrys activity in
these directions.
The German training ship Moltke arrived
here to-day Salutes and official visits Will
be promptly exchanged.
