During the winter of 1897 Mr..
James Reed, OF of the leading citi-
zens and merchants of Clay, Clay
Co., w. Va, struck bis leg against a
cake of ice in such a manner as to
bruise it severely. 1t became very
much swollen and panied him SO bad
ly that he could hot walk without
the aid of crutcEes. He was treated
by physicians, also used several kinds
of liniment and two and a half gal
Ions of whisky in bathing it, but
nothing gave any relief until he be-
gan using Chamberlain's Pain Palm.
This brought almost a complete cure
IN weeks time and he believes that
had he not used this remedy his leg
would have had to be amputated.

fier Goodness saved Her.

According to her story of it,
there was one woman survivor a.
boarb the wrecked Scotsman who
retained her presence of mind
throughout the dreadful ordeal.
She was one of thirteen women who
were let down by ropes into one of
the lifeboats, and before she was
let down she had the thoughtful
ness to go to her stateroom and put
a flask of whiskey into her satchel,
which she fastened to her life pres
erver. The sea was high, and the
four sailors in charge of the life
boat became exhausted by their
herculean task of managing the
boat and baling out the waves
which threatened to swamp them.
1t was this critical juncture that
the whiskey was brought into re-
QUESTION, and the sailors were re-
vived. so that everybody in the
boat was finall Y rescued 1t is their
testimony that it was the contents
of the flask that saved them.

THE CREEKS ASK PROTECTION.

Washington. Oct. S.-A delega-
ton of Greek Indians were at the
interior department yesterday to
protest against what they claim is
unfair treatment from the govern
ment. They ask that the govern
ment carry out the provisions of
the treaty made with their tribe in
1925 and signed by President
Adams. They contend that almost
every provision has been violated
and that under the laws now made
to govern their nation they are fast
being driven out and pauperized
by scheming half breeds, whites
and negroes, who are permitted to
come into their territory and share
with them whatever privileges and
rights the government grants them.

FIUPINOy Talk AUTONOMY
Commissioners Confer Again with
the Americans.
AMERICAN FORCES ADVANCING

MANILA, May 49, The Filipino COM
missloners, who arrived here on Sat-
urday to negotiate with the United
States commissioners had confer
cnce this morning with Messrs Schur-
man. Worcester and DENLY They say
that they are without power to bind
the so'called Filipino government In
any particular and can only refer any
results OF the present negotiations to
Agulnaldo.
Autonomy Is the burden OF the talk
OF the Fllipinos, and 1t Is thought
that the kind they wish for would be
little different from tho scheme OF an
American protectorate which they
talked Of before the war
Senior Palermo, who has succeeded
the irreconcllable Mablni as president
OF the Filipino so-called cabinet, Is a
student and u writer OF ability. He
once drew up plan OF autonomy un-
der Spain which the Spanish govern
ment promised to adopt, there then
being u troublesome rebellion on foot.
The American commissi oners, in
studying the question Of Philippine
government, have found several good
points In this scheme. Palermo is
now the strong man in Aguinaldo's
party.
All the moneyed leaders OF the In
surrectlon SEQ that 1t Is hopeless and
are anxious for peace Those who
want money think they may profit by
harrassing the Americans u while
longer.

Major Kobbe's expedition to open
communication with General Lawton
has occupied Arayat, about seven
miles beyond Candaba, on the Rio
Grande, following the course Of the

river are friendly,
Last Friday Major Kobbe took San

with white flag,
Delegations from San Nicholas and
Santiago, small villages just south Of
Arayat, came to him with the news
that 200 insurgents, who had been
holding both places had withdrawn.
They invited the Americans to enter,
and as tho members OF the expedition
marched in the church bells were rung
and the timid natives who had fed

Tho fire occurred on April 2l, In the

n strong wind, destroying everything
In its way on that street down TO and

men helpless and powcress to do any
thing.
The fire consumed everything from
the Simmons Royal cafe down to and
opposite the Fairview hotel All the
buildings burned like finder, due to
the fact that they had been standing
for nearly two years and the logs were
dry as powder, The fire spread with
such rapidity that the people were un-
able to save anything In the way OF
furniture, goods and clothing, 50 that
the losses when footed up promise to
be even greater than at first esti-
mated.
The fire came at q time when the
mills and dealers In building mate
rails had exhausted their winter sup
ply and were waiting the opening Of
navigation to replenish their stocks.
Tho results arc that there Is famine
in all kinds Of building material and
furniture, such as sash, doors, locks,
hinges, etc.
The few articles still remaining out

rupled In price Doors are selling for
81 each, door locks IS each, and every

Is paralyzod, because nothing can be
done until the opening of navigation,
