Everybody knows that Rheumatism
is a diseased state of the blood, and
only blood remedy is the only proper

Crippled by
Rheumatism.

Those who have rheumatism find
themselves growing steadily worse all
the while. One reason of this is that
the remedies prescribed by the doctors
contain mercury and potash, which Ill

producing severe aching of the bones.

WHEAT STRONGER AND FU-

Barley Lower In the Sample Mar
ket-Oats Unchanged-Corn
Dull at Old Prices.

San Francisco, Feb. 18th.
The local wheat market acted indie
pendently of foreign and Eastern mar
kets to-day; cables were easier and chi
cago closed lower. but owing to dry
weather fears the local market was
stronger; spot was not quotably higher,
but futures opened higher. Barley is
lower in the sample market although on
mark. Oats are unchanged; the market
is i'll good shape, though not very active
at the moment; there were only small
arrivals to-day from Oregon. No corn
came to hand to-day; the market con-
tinues dull at the old prices.
Bran and middlings are firm and the
tendency is toward better prices; receipts
to-day were small.
Butter is easy. Eggs still hold their
price and the market is pretty well clean
ed up for this season of the year.

which this order is based is operating
scheme devised for obtaining rooney under
false and fraudulent pretenses.
The attention of the Post Office Depart
ment was called to this matter by the COM
missioner of pensions. whose special eX-
aminers had reported the extensive opera
lions among the ignorant colored people
of the south. The men behind this scheme
represented in glowing terms the probable
ity of obtaining pensions for eX-slaves and
all who We're held in bondage have been
approached for contributions to get bill
passed by Congress granting annuities. 1t
did not take the pension office long to put
the stamp of fraud upon the scheme, al
though il found itself powerless TO punish
the offenders. Commissioner Evans, how
ever, sought the intervention of the Post
master General for the purpose of deny

in that way hoped to so cripple their bust

Attitude of American Naval Com

Attitude of American Naval Com
manders Toward the FilipinOs.
Lieut. c. G. Calkins, navigator of Admiral
Dewey's flagship Olympia, during the Span
ish war; has written paper for the United
States Naval Institute in regard to the
relations between the United States forces
and the Filipinos. He refers to the incon-
venience of guarding shore the prisoners
taken at Cavite Immediately after the bat
tie Of Manila bay, and this, he says, may
account for the subsequent plan of leaving
prisoners in the custody of Filipino author
tiles
Much smalI-arm ammunition" says
Lieutenant Calkins, was dumped into the
bay at CaVite, whence the FilipinoS after
ward recovered it and refilled the cart
ridges. The Filipinos were allowed to gath
er some weapons from the arsenal. Per-
hapS a hundred Serviceable rifles, trivial
pair of bronze Howitzers and two or three
old smooth-bore guns were the only import
ant items, all abandoned by the Spaniards
as not worth carrying away.
THE new era began when Emilio Agui-
naldo landed from the McCulloch, which
had brought him over from Hong Kong, on
May 10. Pillage ceased and a new crop of
robust recruits were soon organized into
ragged regiments and supplied with arms
as fast as they came to hand. The small
number of rifles left in the arsenal was only
sufficient for guarding the peninsula of
Cavite.
THE fact that the Filipinos were insur-
deprive them of any right granted by Great
Britain in her character as neutral, and
their flag was shown by several cruisers en-
tering or clearing from Cavite during the
summer. The Spanish newspapers made
appeal to all the naval representatives of
neutral powers to arrest these cruisers or
pirates, but no action was taken, although
one Seagolng steamer, the Compania de
