During the civil war, as well as in
our late war with Spain, diarrhoea
was one of the most troublesome
diseases the army had to contend
with. In many instances it became
chronic and the old soldiers still
suffer with it. Mr. David Taylor of
Wind Ridge, Greene, Co., Pa, is one
of these. He uses Chamberlain

YAQUl WAR OVER.

A special from Guayamas, Mex.
says:
Military operations in the Yaqui
valley eliminated on Friday in
series of engagements and the fiual
route and dispersal of the Indians.
The Yaquis in rebellion had con-
centrated their forces at Vicament.
on the south bank. General Torres
began offensive operations on
Thursday After a sharp engage,
ment, the Indians fled, leaving
thirty dead on the field. The Mex
lean loss was ten killed and twen-
ty-two wounded.
General Torres returned to Or
rim for the night, and at 4:3O
o clock the next morning he began
the march to Cicamen. The troops
dislodged the Yaquis and killed
four. Twelve of the First battal-
ion and one man of the National
Guard were wounded.
Following the enemy closely,
General Torres found another force
of Indians intrenched behind the
bank of the irrigation canal, where
the road crosses. After half an
hour of fighting the Yaquis were
driven from this position with a
loss of six killed. One Mexican
sergeant and three soldiers were
wounded
The Yaquis are now scattered in
small parties, and it is not likely
that they will concentrate again.
The rest of the campaign will prob
ably consist of hunting out the re-
negades from their hiding places

The Quapaw Indians.

The Quapaws, a tribe of Indians
living in the extreme northeast cor
ner of the Indian Territory, are anx-
ious to have their reservation organ
lied into a county and annexed to
Oklahoma. This information was
brought to Guthrie by Ed Goldberg,
the Indian agent on the reservation,
who was here to consult with Attor-
ney General Cunningham. All that
is necessary to annexation, ruled the
attorney general, is to secure a suf-
ficient number of Indians signatures
for the president to issue a procla-
nation declaring the reservation a
part of Oklahoma.
The Quapaw reservation embraces
$50 900 acres Of rich agricultural and
mineral lands. out of which the In
dians already have received their
allotment of 200 acres each. Miami,
the principal town, has a population
of / 800 people, who are anxious for
annexation because they believe their
town will be made the county seat.

Metallic Railroad Ties,

The valuable paper communica ted by
NJ. Renson to the recent international
railway congress, as translated by the
Scientific American. shows the results
gained during some 20 years of expert
mental work carried out by the Liege-
Limburg railway, Belgium, on which
various kinds of metal ties have been
tested on different sections of the road
For comparison, a part of the road was
laid with oak sleepers. and identical
conditions assured as to nature of road
bed, drainage, weight of rail. care in
maintenance. etc. The metal ties varied
in shape and quality, from the crude
forms of the earliest ties to the more
scientifically designed later article. 1t
was found that the average life of the
oak ties was 10 years, while the average
life of the earliest and crudest metal
ties was Is years. The later ties have
their width decreased and their vertical
flanges deepened at the center, thus pro-
Viding a maximum bearing surface i'm
mediately beneath the rails, and in
creased grder depth at the center; and
by the use of round drilled holes for
the fastenings and inserting plates be-
tween rail and tie, the life of the latter
was greatly heightened. NJ. Renson
states that, economically, and on every
point of comparison, these experiments
proved the superiority of the metal ties
