How 10 Prevent Pneumonia.

You are perhaps aware that pneumonia
always results from a colo or from an
attack of la grippe. During the epidemic
of la grippe a few years ago when so
many cases resulted in pneumonia ii was
observed that the attack was never fol-
lowed by that disease when Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy was used. II coun-
teracts any tendency of a cold or la
grippe to result IN that dangerous dis
ease. 1t is the best remedy in the world
for bad colds and la grippe. Every bot

STATE LEGISLATURE.

A substitute for the body of the At
kinson bill and all other bills involv-
ing an equalization of taxation has
been submitted to a joint committee.
The bill provides for a rate of per
cent of all incomes of between 81 500
and 500, 900; per cent between $780,
900 and $500, 600; per cent between
$500, 900 and 81 100000; 5 per cent on
all in excess of 81 900, 900.
The house had a scrap over resolu-
ton offered by Rep. Hoffmeister that
the state affairs committee take jun
ket to the Bay City sugar beet factory
to observe the practical workings of
the industry, in view of the legislation
on the subject that will be asked.
Several members opposed it and several
roll calls were taken on amendments.
1t was finally amended to include the
committee on private corporations and
then passed.
The beet sugar bounty lobby sprung
n new trick in the game of leg
islation when they got n concurrent
resolution adopted in the senate, eX-
pressing their sense that no change
should be made in the present bounty
of one cent a pound.
The total number of senate bills in
troGuced at this session was SAC, as
against SOL last session.

Rather Costly Information.

A tramp who applied for admission
to the Jail at Marshall was refused be-
cause he had done nothing emitting
him to board at the expense of the
county. He asked of the commission
if assault and battery would make
him eligible, and being told that it
would he raised his fist and swatted
the officer who gave him the informa-
ton hard one right on the proboscis.
He is a guest of the county now, but
the official who figured in the case is
on his guard when any hobo applies to
him for information of similar nature.

worked a little scoop" on the ants

the Cheever bill, and had it
referred to the committee on revision
of the statutes of which John j. Carton
is chairman and on which the Pingree
men claim they have a majority. In
the rush of bills the title was not no.
ticed or recognized or there might
have been fuss over the reference.

duced the same bill and had it laid on

and put on its passage at any time
when there are votes enough.
Senator Monaghan's bill amending
the divorce laws limits the causes for
which divorces shall be granted to
adultery, physical incompetency, inn

trcme cruelty such as endangers life

1t is said that Gov. Pingrec will veto

lage of Warren the center of a school

crty outside of the village to support

rushed through both houses by Rep.
Wells of that district.

WAR NOTES,

The shooting of two Englishmen and
of Mr.. Argentine, manager of the An
drew cotton mill at Tondo. was un-
avoidable. During the excitement oc-
casioned by the fires in the vicinity,
the trio leaned from an upper window.
Their white suits attracted the atten-
ton of the American sold ers, who be-
lieved them to be natives firing from
the windows, shot all three. One was
killed, one fatally wounded and the
other slightly wounded.
The latest piece of treachery to be
undertaken by the Filipinos was to
burn Manila in the night, and they
succeeded in burning acres of build
ings. During the burning of the build
ings the natives did all in their power
to block the work of the fremen, by
cutting the hose and keeping up a con-
tinual fire upon the Americans. The
casualties were few but the property
loss was enormous. Four Americans
were wounded
The officials at Washington have
now decided that the Filipinos must
be crushed without delay. Gen. Law
ton, an old Indian fighter, with troops,
are expected to reach the Philippines
in few weeks, when forward cam
paign will begin and heavy blow
struck that will keep the insurgents
quiet during the rainy season or cause
them to surrender.
Aguinaldo has issued manifesto ac-
cepting the situation caused by the
unexpected provocation of the Amer
leans" wherein he assumes that he is
prepared to sacrifice anything to main
tain the national honor of his country,
and alleges that 'even the corrupt
Spanish dominion is preferable to the
odious American dominion"
Brig. Gen. Kings troops came off
victorious in an engagement with the
Fiipinos near Guadalupe. driving them
from the ravines and Smelling Guada-
lupe church with the loss of three
killed and two wounded, while the in
surgelts had so killed.
Gen. Miller still holds Jaro and Molo,
and the natives of Nogros Island vol
unfairly hoisted the stars and stripes,

lection.

Barbara, which is now occupied by the
Americans. This is an important
town, 16 miles from Iloilo, with a large

Americans Not to Blame.

Without any purpose to start flood
of recrimination the American mem
bers of the high Canadian commission
feel that they have not been TO blame

but that they are justified in the state

that better results may attend a fur

say the Americans side have made their

cannot expect any better terms here
after than they have recently refused.

Ex-Congressman A. II. Goodwin,
from Alabama, writes the following
letter:
The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing
Company, Columbus, Ohio:
Gentlemen have now used two
bottles of Pe-ru-na, and am a we'll
man today. / could feel the good eff
fects of your medicine before 1 had
used II week, after suffering with ca
tarrh for over year. Respectfully,
A. T. Goodwin.
Catarrh in its various forms is rap
idly becoming a national curse. An
undoubted remedy has been discovered
by DR.. Hartman. This remedy has
been thoroughly tested during the past
forty years Prominent men have
come to know of its virtues and are
making public utterances on the sub
ject. To save the country we must
save the people. To save the people
we must protect them from disease.
The disease that is at once the most
prevalent and stubborn of cure Is ca
tarrh. Public men of all parties rec
ognize in Pe-ru-na a national catarrh
remedy OF unequaled merit. Send to
DR.. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio, for a
free book on catarrh.

The latest from the battlefield is to
the effect that 5000 rebels are anxious
TO surrender. They also express the
belief that Aguinaldo is inclined to ac-
cept pacific overtures.
While 300 Cinnamon, en- route to
Mexico, were awaiting examination by
L. s. health officers at Montrea they
made things lively for the police of
that city. The windows in the depot
were broken and the officers turned

been told they were on their way TO a
land of cannibals.
The American residents in the Chez
Foo, China, have sent an appeal to the
San Francisco chamber of commerce
requesting that ship load of corn be
sent for the relief 2,0O0,0 600 Chinese in
Shang Tung province, the unprece-
denied floods of the Yellow river hav-
ing destroyed crops, and the immense
population along the great river being
on the verge of starvation.
The inhabitants of Breckenridge,
Kokomo, Dillon, Col, and other points
in that vicinity, as well as hundreds of
miners living in cabins in the sur
rounding mountains, are in a condition
that is rapidly becoming desperate on
account of heavy snow storms. Stock
is already starving in the towns and
the food supplies for the people are
running very low. 1t is believed iso-
lated miners have already starved to
death.
Gen. Gomez was received at Havana
with military honors by the American
military commanders on his recent
visit there. He, in company with
them watched $500 of his soldiers de-
file in the Plaza of Arms past the
palace from the balcony on which Gen.
Brooke and other American generals
stood less than two months ago, when
the last company of departing Spanish
troops saluted the American troops,
and Capt. Gen. Castellanos formally
yielded the Spanish sovereignty. The
celebration left pleasing impression.
