UNE-SlDED ENGAGEMENT,
Rebels Make Concerted Attack at Three
Different Places, Hut Arc
Easily RepuIsed.

MANILA, Sept. lO.-A force of 45O
rebels, with one cannon, attacked San
ta Rita early Saturday morning and
simultaneously Guaga and San Antonio
were attacked by bodies of rebels num-
bering about 60 men.
All the attacks were repulsed with
out loss to the Americans. Col. Bell
and his regiment, while attempting
to take the rebels in the rear, met two
small patrols and succeeded in captur-
ing a rebel captain, lieutenant and
six privates.
The inhabitants of Santa Barbara,
the rebel he adquarters in the island
of Panay, have abandoned the
town, fearing the bombardment of the
place by the United States battleship
Oregon.

HUNDREDS OF THEM.
But There's a Maturlal Difference
When the Proof Comes from
Marietta,

MaTtottAt
There are a great many OF them.
Every paper has its share.
Statements hard to believe, harder
to prove.
Statements from far.away places.
What people say in Maine.
Public expression from California.
Oftentimes good Endorsement there
Bat of little service here at home.
Marietta people want local proof
The sayings of neighbors, friends
and citizens.
Home Endorsement counts.
1t disarms the skeptic, is beyond
despute.
This is the backing that stands be-
hind
Every box OF Doan's Kidney Pills.
Here is case of it;
Mrs. Frank O'Linn, No. 720 Third
street, says. For several years l was
troubled with my kidneys, and pain in
the small of my back, which was al
ways aggravated when / caught cold,
stood on my feet or walked long dis
tance. Sharp pains often caught me
when bending or lifting anything and
at night could not sleep on account
of the aching. l am not much Of n
hand to take medicines, but when
had the last attack | was induced TO
go to w. II. Styer's drug store and get
Doan's Kidney Pills, They gave me
relief very quickly. They are all right
as a Kidney remedy. l advise every
one to use them who has kidney dis
ease"

Don't
You
Know ?

The easiest money made is in buying
your goods of all kinds at the right
place. Some people work and scrape
and save until they get some money
ahead and then do not know how to
make it do the most good; it is fritter-
ed away with very little to show for
their hard earnings. If they would
use half the effort to make it go a
ways in buying as was made to earn
1t, they would be made better Off 1t
pays to hunt up the bargains, it is a
recreation instead of hard labor. The
money is made greater; not only that,
but it educates one to buy right; it is
always an income. Every cent you
spend shows gain instead of loss.
Some one inquiries how can l hunt UP
these bargains have no time. l must
work every day and hour possible.
That's true; you have to d extra
work and then get behind that eXtrav-
agant habit of paying more than a
thing is worth; buying without know
ing me value and jumping in at the
first place, or better still, to save your
valuable time, have a book, send the
children or the servants and then Won
der how it comes that your supplies
cost so much. This is a most import
ant matter. 1t requires thought ,eX-
perience and intelligence to make it a
success. See some of the following
examples of the difference in prices
and then decide if it doesn't pay to
buy right:
Some goods of every day use that
even the children know the prices of.
