Private Butter.

| am reminded of an incident on one OF
the Atlantic steamers which took place not
so long ago, and in which married member
of a family to whom it is not necessary to
allude was party. The husband and wife
appeared at all meals, tanked on either side
by large dish of butter.
As it was an English ship and butter was
not served at any of the meals, some Ameri-
cans who were neighbors were delighted to
see that the hor d'oeuvre had at last place
on the table. They helped themselves boun-
tifully at luncheon.
At dinner they were surprised to see little
sticks stuck in the middle of the mound OF
butter with pasteborad card attached.
The card read:
Private Butter. Keep Off the Grass"

taken.-N. Y. Journal.

Our troops found 106 dead Filipinos

The prisoners were unarmed, and
therefore, it is presumed. they ex-

arms into the river.
The task which Gen. Wheaton was
set TO accomplish has been performed
The Americans now hold the Pasig
river from lake to lake. and our lines
cut the connection between the rebel
forces north and south of the river.

to clear the Pasig river of the rebels,
cut off their southern forces, so that
they could not form junction with
those about Malolos before the for

This has been accomplished, and
now it is expected that the march on

Have You Tried Swamp-Root?
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
brought to the grave by diseases of the
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 suspect it.
Fer 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
most wonderful cure for all diseases OF
the kidneys and bladder
While Swamp-Root has proven such a
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
twenty-four hours, forms sediment or
settling, or has cloudy appearance. ii
is evidence that your kidneys and blad-
der need immediate attention. So.
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
readers of this paper, who have not al
ready tried it, may. have a sample bot
tie sent absolutely free by mail. Also a
book telling more about Swamp-Root,
and containing some of the thousands

their good health, in fact. their very
lives, to the wonderful curative proper

| General Otis Aggressive Campaign Being
Prosecuted.
Manila, March I3-Guadaloupe was
captured by Gen. Wheeler's new brigade
this morning. The troops advanced
southwark by way of San Pedro Maca,i,
flanking the rebels. The resistance was
slight and the rebels retired to Pasig.
A gunboat which had advanced up the
river shelled the natives in retreat.
The American casualties were four
wounded. The enemy lost 40 killed and
large number of wounded. Sixteen
natives were taken prisoners.
The advance of the flying column is
the first step of the aggressive campaign
planned by General Otis. The advance
will be pushed as far as Legula bay and
all the intervening territory cleared of
insurgents. Thus a straight line of
American forces will be strung across
The island.
General Wheaton's forces are eager
tor action. This morning they fought
with the greatest vigor despite the in
tense heat. The natives were outhank-
ed and though they made several at
tempts to rally, their rout was complete.
The fire on their front drove them 70 the
river where the shells of the gunboat
brought them to stand still. They then
broke into small bands.
This action marks the beginning of
drastic measures with the Filipinos. 1t
has been determined to open the country
to Malolos the insurgent capital. The
troops will advance day by day compell-
ing the natives to retire. If they are
not completely subjugated by the time
Malolos is reached, Malolos itself will be-
captured and put an end to the fighting
Aguinaldo is expected to make last
stand at the insurgent capital.
