are far behind.
Colonel Hayes has captured Aguinal.

The recent encounters were too one sided
to be called fights.

"The Filipinos at Tayug fled to San

Thirty-six years ago last July MyrOn
p. Scullin of Burlington was fighting on
the Gettysburg battle field in company
d, 18th Vermont regiment, and during
the three days engagement was shot in
the foot and had the limb amputated just
above the ankle. Last month at Wash
ipgton Mr.. Scullin found his lost foot
and examined it for the first time since
the surgeons knife and saw separated it
from the rest of his body. The story,
although apparently incredible, is true.
The foot or the bones of the foot are
now on exhibition in the medical museum,
where such things are kept in Washing
ton. When the foot was amputated after
the wound, the surgeon suggested TO Mr..
Scullin that he preserve 1t. This Mr.
Scullin did not care to do, but owing to
some peculiarly of the wound the sur
geon preserved the bones and in time
they were placed in the museum,
where their former owner found them.
Mr.. Scullin accompanied the party which
went to Gettysburg to attend the dedica-
ton of the !. 18th. Vermont regiments
monument, and later went to Washington
with the intention of at least making a
search for his lost foot in the museum
where he had been told ii was placed.
On arriving at the capital he hurIied
away to the museum and after some
search stood for the first time in 3G years
with his two feet nearer than miles apart.
The bones of the foot are neatly mounted
on pedestal and are boldly pacarded
with the owners name.

Every day adds to the list of deaths
attributed to heart failure. If the
truth were told the bulk of these
deaths might be written down as duo
TO stomach failure. For it is in the
failure of the stomach and other organs
of digestion and nutrition, that weak"
heart, uweak - lungs, vweakn nerves and
other forms of physical deterioration
having their beginning. The man whose
stomach is sound who can digest and
assimilate the food he eats, and so keep
each organ of the body we'll nourished,
is the man who is least liable to collapse
under the sudden weakness of some
vital organ.
The preservation of health which fol-
lows the use of DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, is chiefly due to the
fact that it perfectly and permanently
cures diseases of the stomach and organs
of digestion and nutrition, purifes the
blood and increases the blood supply Of
the body. Weak people will find in this
medicine sure means of strength.
~ wa. under doctors care for quite time,s
writes Mr.. J. F. Kidd, of Parmleysvile, Wayne
Co., KY. "They had almost given me up, and
my suffering very great. My pulse was
weak breath short and l had severe pains in
back head and legs. Had palpitaton of heart,
and for eleven months / not able to do q
days work. purchased five bottles of DR.. r. ".
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and by the
time the fifth bottle was gone was we'll man.

CAUSES ANXIETY.
Norfolk and the Reduction of Grain
Freight Rates.

NORFOLK, VA. June 26.-(Speclal)-
The reduction of freight rates on grain
from Chicago to eastern cities has caused
some anxiety here, where the local eN-
port business in grain has assumed vast
proportions in the past few years. The
cut in grain rates amounts in some cases
to 40 per cent and in this reduction the
Virginia ports do not share at all. Wash
ington. Baltimore and eastern cities
profit by il. at the expense of southern
seapOrts The cut has been brought
about. il is stated, by jealousy of the
great grain-carrying business done by the
Norfolk and Western and Chesapeake
and Ohio railroads between Chicago, Nor
folk. and Newport News. The Grand
Trunk led the fight. and the combination
embraces powerful interests opposed to
this port IL is not expected that the
s. and lucent rates Will hurt this port,
as railway men regard the new rates to
eastern cities below the cost of carry
ing. Such conditions WILL they declare,
force a speedy restoration OF the old
