SILVER IN PHILIPPINES.

Dakota Volunteer on the Track of .
 Rich Ledge.
 A Deadwood paper says that evidences of the richness of the Philippine Islands in the precious metals have been shown in the Black hills towns since the return of the three volunteer companies which served a year in the islands. The Black hills boys, many of them, have had prac- tical experience in mining for gold and silver ores, and they have been watchful in the Philippines for indications of ore deposits. Captain Paul McClelland of Company I has brought back from Ma nila a piece of bamboo, corked at each end, which contains a very rich piece of decomposed silver ore. Captain McClel- land formed the acquaintance of an old native, who said the rich specimen in the bamboo stick came from a wide ledge. stepping of a distance of about 10 feet when he told the captain the width of it.
 The sample of ore is nearly half silver. The ledge, the native stated, is about ten miles from Manila. Many of the natives have learned something of the value of the ore veins of the country having seen some of the mining done by the Spanish. Pieces of rich gold quartz ore have been given the Black hills boys by the natives, which came from Luzon, and the ore re- sembles very closely the rich free milling veins of the Black hills.
 Chunks of gold ore have been exhibited on the streets of Deadwood by some of the returned soldiers which bristled with gold threads, flakes and nuggets, and it would be taken for Black hills ore by the most experienced mining man.

Life is hardly worth the living with the never-ceasing aches and pains of bad back. If you would remove the burden of backache. reach the cause.-the kid neys. Doan's Kidney Pills will cure sick kidneys, and the cure is lasting. Here is proof of 1t.
 Mir. Israel A. Morse, of 10 Tyng street, Newburyport, member of the Board of Aldermen for two years, and Common Council for three years, says: "My ex- perience with and opinions of Doan S Kidney Pills which expressed through our newspapers in 1896, after taking a course of the treatment, have not altered. value that preparation more highly to- day than did when first published my statement, and that is over three years ago. To my personal experience I can add that of many others in this city who one and all coincide with me in saying that Doan's Kidney Pills act as repre-. sented.'

TROUBLE IN GUAM NOW.
Captain Leary Sends Urgent Request
 For Re-enforcementa.

Captain Leary Sends Urgent Request For Re-enforcements.
 The natives of Guam, in the Ladrones, which became the property of the United States by the terms of the Spanish American treaty of 1898, are causing trouble to the American authorities there. Captain Richard F. Leary, U. s. N, the governor of the island, has sent an urgent request for re-enforcements, and the navy department has issued or ders for augmenting the Guam garrison by a battalion of marines. The several sections of this additional force, $50 men in all, will leave their various stations for San Francisco as soon as possible. They will sail thence for Guam on army trans ports.
 While information as to the details of the trouble in Guam is not obtainab ble. it is understood that the situation is not grave and that there is no danger that the force at Governor Leary's disposal will be overpowered. The natives of the island were credited with being peacea- ble. They appeared to be glad of the change of government, but according to the advices from Governor Leary they have developed a hostile attitude to the Americans and are not as peaceable as was supposed. Their number is not great enough, however, to excite any apprehen- sion in official circles as to the ability of the United States marines in the islands to maintain order. This change in senti- ment or development of hidden feeling may be due to the Spanish influence that prevails and perhaps still exists in the leland

DEWEY'S HOME.
Bought Fully Furnished by the
 Committee.

Bought Fully Furnished by the
 Committee.
 The Dewey home fund committee has purchased for Admiral Dewey a home at 1747 Rhode Island avenue, in the heart of the aristocratie section of northwest Washington, ten minutes walk from the navy department.
 The house is fully furnished and cost the committee S5o000. It meets the ad- miraPs wishes in every respect. All that is needed is a supply of coal. The ad- miral's first formal dinner depends en- tirely upon his wishes, which will be guided by his health. The ground floor of this house consists of a large drawing room, library and dining room. The lat ter will comfortably seat 20 people, and the admiral says his entertainments will never exceed that number.
 Up stairs there are hall room fitted up as "den," a reading room, the admi- ral's bedroom and an extra chamber. The third floor is given up entirely to chambers. The house contains IT rooms and four bathrooms. It was designed and built by its recent owner for his per sonal use and has many conveniences not found in the ordinary run of houses.
 The large sliding doors separating the rooms of the first floor enable the draw ing room, library and dining room to be thrown into one effective apartment. The committee has accepted the offers of va rious manufacturers to donate a piano, a specially designed dinner set, full complement of handsome rugs and all the bed and table linen necessary to equip the house.
 The house itself is of brick with brown stone trimmings and was built 12 years ago by James E. Fitch. Within square is Secretary Roots home. Around the corner, in Connecticut avenue, are the British and Italian embsssies and the Brazilian legation. The Austro-Hunga- rian legation, too, is close at hand, in Rhode Island avenue

 back is hitched at each end. They drive along the swath and push or pull the hay into punches at the side of the stack.' says The Rural New Yorker.
 In the article alluded to Mir. Jami- son advises in part as follows:
 As clover hay in stacks or ricks, to be kept from spelling, must be covered with some other material, the stacks should be as large as possible. or the cost of the covering will approximate in cost the value of the hay. The risk in allowing the hay to cure in the cock makes it necessary to put in the rick from swath or windrow, or, if from the cock, before it has thoroughly settled.
 By the use of a derrick, with arm swinging S5 feet high, haysling in stead of horse fork and the hay brought to the rick with large rake, it can be put up very rapidly. This plan will save the cooking, but it should be drier to put in rick from the swath than if put in cock. The material for the der rick illustrated is as follows: If the pole can be secured in the nearby woods, only the labor in securing it stands against it. The base is s feet square, built on runners; frame, 10 feet high. The pole for sling use should be 80 feet long; long boom, 17 feet l; short end. feet; long end, 13 feet; short brace. 2 feet long; brace, IA feet. Top of frame should be 5 feet square. The whole should be bolted together, so that it can be taken to pieces and stored in shelter when not in use. If built to use sling. the long end of the arm should be 95 feet high.
 The long rake shown is IS feet long, with 12 teeth 6 feet long. The head piece is 9 by inch hard pine. The teeth are heart hickory, 11f by 8 inches and 6 feet long. The teeth should be set in the headpiece an inch in front and one-half an inch at back and the teeth sloped for about a foot back from the point on the lower side. Set in headpiece as directed. This will cause them to follow the ground close ly. Over the teeth where set in the headpiece should be placed plank by 8 inch by IS feet and bolted through teeth, plank and headpiece. The teeth should not be set too rigid. as they will work better with some play. The rake should have three stand ards in the headpiece about 3 feet high. A bolt is put through each end of the headpiece. Two small holes are

CUP STAYS IN AMERICA.
CoIsmbia Wins by Three Straight
 Victories.

The American cup defender Columbia on Friday gloriousiy defeated Sir Thomas Lipton's green challenger, the Shamrock, and the gallant Irish knight will have to buih another boat if he wants ito lift that cup"
 The time made by the marvellous white yacht over the deep sea course of 15 miles dead before the wind and 15 miles thrashing home was unusually fast and was eclipsed in only one other windward and leeward race for the prized trophy. That was when the Nigilant vanquished the Nalkyrie six years ago in 8 hours and 24 minutes and 30 seconds. The Colum- bias time over the course on Friday was 3 hours, 3S minutes and 9 seconds. She defeated the challenger in actual time by 6 minutes and Is seconds. With the al- lowance of 16 seconds which she received from the Shamrock, her corrected time was minutes and 34 seconds.

 As the hay crop of the New England states promises not to be large this sea
 son. the following by an American Gull tivator correspondent is quite aproros "As there are many fields of grass that will not make prime timothy hay, it is a question sometimes what to do with it. If there are indications of a good market, it will pay to give as much attention to curing this hay as the best timothy, for the grades ap- proximating prime timothy sell only for @ few cents hundredweight less. A good deal of the final valuation of this hay will depend upon the cutting, curing and packing for market. This more often determines the selling price of hay than the actual condition of the grass before cutting. But if the hay is indifferent and bad in the field it will pay best to use the land for something else. A run down hayfield is of little real value in these days of competition

 Behold, then, the spectacle of drowning soul and Christ the swim mer! I believe 1t was in 1S48 when there were six English soldiers of the Fifth fusileers who were hanging to a capsized boat-a boat that had been upset by a squall three miles from shore. 1t was in the night, but one man swan nightly for the beach, guided by the dark mountains that lifted their top through the night. He came to the beach. He found shore man that consented to go with him and save the other men, and they put out. It was some time before they could find the place where the men were, but after awhile they heard their cry, Help, helpw and they bore down to them. and they saved them and brought them to shore.
