PLAGUE OF THE NIGHT.
Keeps Thousands of People In Rock ISL
and Awake.

Keeps Thousands of People In Rock ISL
and Awake.
Keeps you awake; can't sleep a
wink
Bad enough if you lose your rest
But it's harder still to bear at work.
Breeds misery by day, profanity by
night.
Know what it is?
The bane of all classes of people
itching piles.
Itch, itch, itch. Nearly drives you
crazy.
Hard to bear, hard to walk, hard to
sit down.
Itching away, in any position, any
time.
Don't stand it any longer.
There's relief for everyone, prompt
and permanent.
Doan's Ointment relieves at once.
Doan's Ointment cures perma-
nently.
Piles. eczema and all skin diseases.
Read what a local citizen SAYS.
F. c. Jenkinson, of 1923 Third ave-
nue.. employed in the foundry on the
island, says: 81 had itching hemorrh-
oids, and although 1 used a number of
different remedies. none of them did
me the least permanent good. j saw
Doan's Ointment advertised and got
a box at the Harper house drug store.
| must confess had little faith in it,
as had tried so many different prep
arations in vain. but to my surprise,
after using Doan's Ointment three
days, the irritation left me. I con-
tinued the treatment until j had fin
ished the box, when l was cured -
Doan's Ointment is for sale by
all dealers, price so cents. Mailed by
Fcster-Milburn company, Buffalo, N.
Y, sole agents for the United States.
Remember the name Doan's and
take no substitute.

KILLED BY A WAITER.
,Ss,,ected Man Had To BE Taken Away to
Avert Lynching.

INJECTED Man Had To BE Taken Away to
Avert Lynching.
Colorado Springs, Colo, Aug. IL
Gus Mckenzie, prominent cotton
merchant and member of the school
board of Gainesville, Tex, was killed
in a row with hotel walters at the Bar
ker hotel, in Manitou yesterday noon.
George Groves, the head waiter, had
demonstrated with Mrs. Mckenzie for
insisting upon entering the dining
room before he was ready for the
guests. He was later accused by Nc
Kemie of having spoken insultingly to
Mrs. Mckenzie, and an apology was de-
manded. When Groves said that he did
not consider any apology due Mckenzie
struck at him with a cane.
Groves grappled with Mckenzie and
a great throng of walters and guests
gathered, Mckenzie being wounded by
a blow on the left side of the head,
which proved fatal in about forty-five
minutes. George Mccormick, waiter,
was arrested on suspicion, but brought
here for safety. Ex-Governor Hogg, of
Texas, gave the coroner to understand
that it would not be safe to allow the
prisoner to be brought to Manitou, and
the request was deferred. The danger
was of lynching, because so many
southern people are in Manitou.

WANTS NOTHING FOR HIMSELF.

Has No Ambitions and Always Adjusts
Himself to Events.
With regard to himself, General Co
mez, whose letter is addressed to his
son Domingo, says the latter must not
trouble himself regarding his fathers
future and reputation. He declares
that he considers himself sufficiently
defended by his own record-by a ca
reer which he has always adjusted
to the rational order of events" He
describes himself as without ambi-
lions of any kind that could disturb my
conscience, and happy in the lot of a
people who shall one day be themselves
happy"
Cuba, which adopted and fought for
the highest principles" he continues,
lis now in peace. She is behaving like
a cultured country, in order that her
people may constitute themselves a ma
ton without need of an external men
tor. If such conduct is continued-if
such an example of self-restraint is
maintained-all American militarism
must disappear. giving place to a true
democracy"
The noble people of Havana" he
says, have once more earned his graf
itude by a signal demonstration of
good will toward his wife and family,
but he is soon going away from among
them. as he longs to be in his own
country again.

GOMEZ AN OPTIMIST
So Fan as the Future of the Pearl
of the Antilles Is Con.
cerned.
EVERYTHING AHEAD Is RosEATE.

New Order of Things Cannot BE Estab-
1ished in a Day, He Says, but Progress
Is satisfactory and Uncle sam viii Keep
His Word, Which to Gomez Means
Cuban Independence-wants Nothing
for Himself.
Havana, Aug. lin an open letter
published yesterday By La Lucia, Cen
eral Gomez says he has remained in
Cuba to fulfill great duty. Now that
exaggerated and mistaken notions are
current regarding the state of Cuba,
he desires to explain the true situa-
ton. 1T is absolutely false" he says,
that great differences exist between
Cubans and Spaniards, or between Gu
bans and Americans, or among the
Cubans themselves. On the contrary,
all is going well. An old institution
the Cuban army-is being dissolved;
the people think only of absolute indie
pendence; a national party which opens
its arms to receive all without asking
questions as to where they were during
the war is being formed. More could
not have been done in so short a time.
Cannot he Done in n Day.
1.-THE impatient population does not
realize that it is not the work of day
to organize society. Turbulence of
to abate in people thirsting for indie
pendence, and for liberty restrained by
rational precepts. There has been in
tervention by a foreign nation for the
sake of peace, and now the moment is
propitious. All who were previously
disunited could unite for the same end,
which is to form a council representing
the soul of Cuba. In the meantime
the intervening power will fulfill the
obligations it has incurred. and the
Cuban people, heroic and sensible, will
take the situation calmly, working and
waiting for the independence and lib
erty which the future will surely bring
Uncle Sam Not n Robber.
LAS for the suggestion that the in
tervening power contemplates robbing
the Cubans of their own, l do not be-
lieve it Such a rumor is a calumny
against an honorable people. The Gu
ban, left poor by the war should dream
only of work. Let us allow bygones to
be bygones. Let us see a brother in
every man in Cuba"

day that negotiations have been closed
for assumption of the control of the

The amounts appropriated by the last

OTIS BAD MANAGEMENT.
Another Returning Soldier Tells of COndi-
lions in the Philippines.

lions in the Philippines.
Soldiers returning from the Philip
pines are open in their criticism of
the conduct of the American cam
paign by Gen. Otis in that coun-
try. Their stories are coming
close to home. Corporal j. w.
Logan, of Canton, Just back from
the PARKWAY islands, has been
visiting relatives in Galesburg. He
spent Ia months in the Philippines.
He went out with the first expedi-
ton and was with Gen. Lawton in all
his engagements. He believes that
the trouble is not done with. The
rainy season, he says, will last almost
until November. The people are very
treacherous. Every man wears two
suits of clothes underneath a white
one, in which he is non-combatant.
Then above he wears the insurgent
uniform. When an insurgent gets
into tight place, off comes the insur-
gent uniform and then he is safe.
The people around Manila Mr.. Lo-
gan desert es as half breeds. He says
the laws prohibit the immigration of
Chinese women. The Chinese men
come over, live with natives, raise
families and then slip over home. The
result is a shiftless population of "a
very uncertain character. In the
southern islands they are of purer
blood and have the negro characteris-
tics.
There is much dissatisfaction, ac-
cording to the corporal. He says that
the generals in the service all find
fault with Gen. Otis management of
the campaign. The troops take n
town and pass on to the next one. The
natives scatter to the sides and when
the troops have passed on come back
into the town. IL the troops want TO
return the town must be recapturcd.
Gen. Otis says his force of men is not
sufficient to prevent this. Corp. Lo-
gan quotes Gen. Lawton and others in
opposition to this, saying that n
proper utilization of the forces will
allow the garrison of captured towns.
Eventually he believes the rebellion
will be put down. 1t can only be by
garrisoning the captured towns, and
then putting n force of men into the
brush strong enough to drive out the
small bands of insurgents.
