Remarkable Cure of Rheumatism

KENNA, Jackson Co., w. Va.
About three years ago my wife
had an attack of rheumatism which
confined her to her bed for over
month and rendered her unable to
walk step without assistance, her
limbs being swollen to double
their normal size. Mr.. S. Mad
dox insisted on my using CHAINS
berlain's Pain Balm. Ipurchased
a fifty-cent bottle and used it ac-
cording to the directions and the

MILES ANNUAL REPORT.

Believes Present Army Force In Ann
pie for the Services Required
The annual report of NAL Gen. Nelson
A. Miles, commanding the army, was
made public at the War Department
Tuesday. 1t is extremely brief and for
NAL In character. It announces the
transmission to the Secretary Of War OF
the reports Of the department and staff
commanders and makes brief statement
of the strength and distribution Of the
army, including the muster out Of the
volunteer regiments, most Of the details
of which have been already published in
the reports Of the adjutant general. 1t
has been the practice heretofore to dis
charge soldiers in Manila. paying them
there and giving them free transporta-s
ton to the United States on the Govern
ment transports. This has resulted in
several complaints to the Secretary of
War about soldiers who have landed in
this country without means to get to
their homes. In transmitting this report
to Gen. Otis it is suggested to him that
hereafter no more soldiers shall be dis
charged in Manila. but that when their
terms of service expire they shall be sent
to San Francisco, where they will get
report concludes with the following gen
eral statement: "As far as organization
is concerned the army is in a transition
state. 1t is believed that the force will
be ample for the service required of 1t
up to the time authorized July
/, 1901 It is gratifying to note that the
Government has authorized a military
force which seems commensurate with
it's requirements, magnitude and institu-
tons. I have for years recommended the
adoption OF standard in proportion to
the population-and believe that the es-
tablishment of such standard would be
safe and judicious in every respect"
The annual report of Surgeon General
Sternberg Of the army has been made
public at the War Department. Gen.
Sternberg remarks: 'The medical corps
Of the army, which was scarcely ade-
quate before the war with Spain for our
army Of $4,000 men, is now entirely in
adequate, and should be increased as soon
as is practicable. Many Of the commits
stoned medical officers Of the volunteer
army, and Of the acting assistant sur
geons, have made rapid progress in ac-
curing knowledge of their military du-
ties, and have demonstrated their fit
ness for the military service. In filling
vacancies in the medical corps these gen.
tlemen should, in my opinion, have the
preference when they come within the
established age limit" The report says
the number of deaths from all causes in
the regular army was 1926. OF this
number % per cent was from disease
and 555 per cent from injuries. The
total number Of deaths, including the
regulars and volunteers, from May /,
1898, to June 30, 1899, is given as 6,619,

Desperate Battle Fought with Fi1ipi
nos Near San Fabian.

Desperate Battle Fought with Fi1ip1-
nos Near San Fabian.
The Thirty-third infantry in one Of the
sharpest two hours engagements of the
war with an equal force of insurgents,
five miles from San Fabian, Saturday
lost one officer and six men killed and
one officer and twelve men wounded. The
Americans captured Twenty-Five Fill
pinos and 100 rifles and found eighty
insurgent dead lying in the trenches and
rice fields. Many more Filipinos, doubt
less, were killed or wounded.
The insurgents opened the fight two
miles from San Jacinto, while the lead
ing American battalion was passing q
clump of houses in the midst OF a cocoa
nut grove, knee deep in mud. The Fill
pino sharpshooters, hidden in trees,
houses and a small trench across the
road, held their fire until the Americans
were close to them. When they began
firing other Filipinos opened fire from
thickets, right and left, further away.
The regiment then deployed under fire,
with Maj. John A. Logan's battalion in
the center. Maj. Cronic's on the right
and Maj Marsh's on the left. The
skirmish line, which was mile long, adj
vanced rapidly, keeping up constant
fire. The Filipinos made an unexpected
" good stand, many of them remaining
under cover until the Americans were
within twenty feet of them. The insur-
gents are supposed to have retreated to-
ward Dagupan. It was impossible to
pursue them, as the American troops
were exhausted and their supply Of am
munition was low.
Mai. Logan was shot through the head
and MORALLY wounded early in the fight
while STOPPING to attend corporal who
had been wounded. A hospital steward
was killed while trying to drag the major
to the side Of the road. Shortly after
ward, at the same spot, Capt. Green and
a non-commissioned officer were wound
ed. All this was evidently the work Of
sharpshooters, who picked out the off,
GERS by their uniforms. Half dozen OF
these men were spotted in the trees and
killed by our sharpshooters. The firing
on the field hospital men did not cease,
however, until detail returning from
San Jacinto to convey the dead and
wounded to San Fabian cleared the coun-
try Of insurgents.
Maj. March's battalion was the first
to enter San Jacinto. Judging from the
resistance made by the enemy, it is be-
lieved the insurgents were veterans from
Tarlac, under command Of Gen. Mimic.

Ernest Cornell, who is serving life
sentence at Waupun for the murder of
his two children at Oconomowoc Nov.
10, 1897, failed in his effort to secure
judgment from the Supreme Court giving
him new trial and will spend the rest
of his days in prison. The crime was
brutal one. CornelPs two children were
sleeping together in bed. With ham,
mer he crushed in their heads and then
cut their throats with razor. He then
attempted suicide by cutting his own
throat, but failed to kill himself and was
found partially conscious. He at first
denied killing his children, but after ten
days made a full confession. Despond-
ency, due to destitute circumstances, poor
health and the conduct Of his wife, was
his reason for the deed. On the trial he
pleaded insanity, but the jury found him
sane and he was convicted. A new trial
was sought on twenty assignments of
technicalities in the former trial, but the
Supreme Court affirmed the decision of
the court below.
The Supreme Court has affirmed the
decision Of the Dane County Circuit
Court by which Register of Deeds Rein
dahl is allowed to keep the fees of his
office in Lieu Of a salary of 81, 800 voted
him by the County Board. The fees are
between $1,000 and $4,000. A law was
passed by the Legislature of 1897 allow
ing County Boards to fix the salary Of
the office. This law was omitted from
the statutes by the revising committee and
led to the present suit, which was watch
ed throughout the State as test.
