The Largest Ranch In the World.

''It seems natural that the largest
ranch in the world should be found in
the largest state in the Union-Texas.
Indeed, this ranch is so extensive that
some states could not contain it. Con-
necticut, for example, could not hold
it by several thousand acres. The two
states of Rhode Island and Delaware
combined could not contain this i'm
nIense ranch, which consists of three
million acres, or about five thousand
square miles.
about a dozen years ago, when
Texas needed a new state capitol, the
legislature adopted a novel plan to get
it. A promise was held forth that
vast track of unappropriated land
would be given in exchange for a suit
able granite building at Austin.
Among those tempted by this offer
were ex-senator Charles B. Farwell
and his brother John, who ultimately
formed a syndicate in Chicago and
took upon themselves the response
bility of erecting the proposed capitol.
Their part of the agreemen. appears
To have been carried out to the salts
faction of the state, and in due time
they came into the possession of the
immense domain now known as the
y. 1. T. ranch. William Clinton, In

LOST FAITH IN HIS TAILOR.

Col. Tarker is staid old West side citi.

courtly and impressive. His collars are

''Why, father, what have you been doing
to yourself?
Nothing, daughter, nothing. II have

Sure enough, the colonel had on new suit
of clothes. The effect was gorgeous and
startling. The trousers were loud check,
very tight and a trife short. The coat was
a short blue frock, mottled with dark red.
He wore a cheap red tie. The ludicrousness
of the situation finally overcome the
daughters gravity, and she laughed until
she cried.

THEIR COURAGE FAILED THEM.
The FiIipinos Refused to be Led
From Their Trenches Against
the Americans.

Manila, March IL, $50 p. m.-The
Filipinos apparently had planned an
attack upon the lines of Gen. Otis and
Gen. Hale this morning, but their
courage seemed to fail them, though
they fired signals and afterward kept
up the fusilade along the American
front for an hour Our troops, in
obedience to orders, refrained from
shooting, with the exception of two
companies of newly-arrfved men, who
replied until they had suppressed al
regiment of Aguinaldo's red brigade.
This body of rebels seemed under bet
ter leadership than most of the others,
and white man was seen among the
officers, endeavoring to lead them to
the attack, but apparently all efforts
to induce them to leave the trenches
were futile.
The American authorities in Manila
say the city is now so effectively po-
Iced that a serious outbreak is inn
possible. They believe that the ma
tives are cowed.
The presence of the families of Of
fcers is discouraged, and many are
leaving on board the United States
transport, some going to Japan for
temporary residence. Gen. Otis has
remarked:
Manila is no place for women. This
is a war, not a picnic
This afternoon the Twentieth and
Twenty-second infantry and seven
companies of the Oregon volunteers
marched to San Pedro Macati to join
Gen. Wheaton's new divisional brigade
which is to consist of the Twentieth
and Twenty-second infantry, eight
companies of the Washington volun-
teers, seven companies of the Oregon
volunteers, three troops of cavalry
(mounted) and a battery of light ar
tillery.
Although the rain which fell this
morning has cooled the temperature
to 50 degrees, many dropped from the
ranks, overcome by the heat. Several
soldiers were sunstruck in the streets
of Manila this morning. Most of them
were men not yet acclimated.

cred from his indisposition, and re-

HOMES IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Volunteers Who Desire to be Disc
charged and Established in
Our New Possessions.

Washington, March 13.-The follow
ing is an abstract from letter of an
officer in Manila to an officer in the
war department:
Extract of letter from Mai. Theo.
Sternberg, paymaster United States
volunteers, dated Manila, January %,
1899:
Il wish you would call the attention
of the president and secretary of war
to this:
""rhere is not less than ten per cent.
of the volunteers who honestly wish
to remain in these islands and make
homes here and engage in agriculture,
numbering and mining. From every
point of view this should be encour-
aged unless America means to haul
down its flag and sneak home. The
time will come when every American
will recognize the value of these ISL
ands. Take but one item: Cattle thrive
here; it is the finest stock country |
ever saw. The orient can be supplied
with beef from here.
"tNow, these soldiers wish to be
discharged here with travel pay. This
will be their capital. Those who are in
earnest are willing to do anything in
reason to prove it. l believe they
would be willing to serve out two
years enlistment by transfer to the
regular army, if necessary. They
would, many of them, prefer to be
mustered out here with nothing rather
than be compelled to go to the states
t.. be mustered out.
""There are also many regular sol
diers enlisted under Order 40. These
men think they should be paid travel
pay if they intend settling in these isl
ands.
"'Now, all of this is based upon the
idea that the United States will retain
some sort of interest in these islands.
knowing the value of the pioneer I
say deliberately that each of these
plain soldiers, young, vigorous, and
used to the climate by remaining here
will be of inestimable value to our
country. The only way to Americanize
these islands, is by the example of
American pioneers engaged in making
homes for themselves. / take no stock
in the cry that white men can not work
in the tropics. They can when work
ing for themselves. There are no
healthier people than the English and
Scotch who have lived here for many
years. At all events the government
has here now the cream of the Ameri-
can young manhood, who are anxious
to try the thing.
"'I know the regulars, as a rule, dc
not want to hold these islands, because
they prefer stations in the states. I
know the majority of the volunteers
are homesick, and so color their opin-
icns. But l had rather die here than
see the flag come down, and it was 90
years younger l would make my home

To Prove for Yourself the Wonderful nerits of This
Great Discovery Every Reader of This Paper
May Have Sample Bottle Sent
Absolutely Free by Tail.

Statistics prove that more people are
kidneys and bladder than by any other
disease.
Kidney trouble is in itself so insidious
and deceptive that thousands have
some form of it and never suspectit.
For many years medical science has
been trying to discover some remedy
that would positively overcome these
dangerous troubles.
But not until recently was the discov-
cry made. DIR. Kilmer, the eminent
physician and scientist, after years of
study and research, and after test on
test that never varied in the grand re-
suit, announced the discovery of
Swamp-Root, which has proven itself a
most wonderful cure for all diseases of
the kidneys and bladder.
While Swamp-Root has proven such
remarkable success in curing kidney
and bladder diseases, it has also proved
equally invaluable in the cure of blood
diseases, rheumatism, liver and stom-
ach troubles, and in the regulation and
cure of all uric acid troubles.
If your water, when allowed to remain
undisturbed in a glass or bottle for
twentyfour hours, forms sediment or
settling, or has cloudy appearance, it
is evidence that your kidneys and blad-
der need immediate attention.
Swamp-Root has been tested in so
many ways, in hospital work, in private
practice, among the helpless too poor to
purchase relief, and has proved so sue
cessful in every case, that special ar
rangement has been made by which all
