Using the Torch.


Manila, Feb. 2S.--Last night was
one of terror 10 thousands Of the in
habitsnts Of Manila, the rebels making
good their o~ft-repeated threats TO the
extent Of burning acres Of buildings,
wounding an officer and three men by
inng through windows during the ex-
element.
At eight O'Clock an ~incendisry fire
occurred 10 q block Of brick buildings
occupied BY Chinese. A stiff breeze
was blowing and the iniammsbility Of
the structures caused the blaze to
spread with alarming rapidity. The
city Ere department was hepelessly in
competent and the English volunteer
brigade from Santa Mesa was sum-
moned and with = modern engine
pumping adequate streams from the
canal, succeeded after four hours
work, in getting the blaze under con-
troll.
Meantime the entire block and the
greater part Of two others across The
street were completely Quilted.
Hundreds Of inhabitants we're rem
dered homeless.
Impediments were placed In the way
Of the firemen and the hose was cut
i've different times. This resulted In
all the natives being driven of the
streets, those In the immediate vicinity
Of the blaze being corralled In vacant
lots and guarded until the excitement
was over. 10 many instances the
natives were insolent and paid no re-
gard 10 the orders given them and the
soldiers were compelled to use harsh
measures. The butts Of their rifles
aud their bayonets we're freely applied.
Shortly after midnight another big
fire was started in the ToLdo district,
where the natives are thiekest; and
when the firemen and soldiers at
tempted to work q regular fuslllade Of
rife and revolver shots was fired from
the windows and roofs Of the buildings.
The ilremen, escorted by soldiers,
proceeded to clean out the houses
while the FIRE was UNDECIDED. Bullets

street in the Tondo and Binondo dis

Real Bank Examination,

Prom the State Tribune.
The indictment by the Jackson coun-
ty grand jury Of Hancock and limbo.
den, promoters Of the late Planters
bank Of Kansas City, follows quickly
upon the work OF Secretary of State
Lesneur in examination OF the bank.
The action Of Secretary Lesueur
showed clearly the character Of insti.
tuition through which the Kansas City
promoters sought to defraud the un-
susPecting public. His promptness In
examining and closing the bank and
bringing Its promoters to justice is
only another instance Of the meri.ori-
Gus work which Capt. Lesueur has
done as state bank examiner. The in
terests of the people are guarded
nowhere with more fidelity than in
this matter Of bank examination. Bank
examination, under Capt. Lesueur's
direction, is not conducted 10 a per-
functory or triHing manner, but with a
vlgor, care and thoroughness which
deserves the most cordial commenda-
tion.

GOVERNOR OF OREGON
Uses Pe-ru-na In his Family for Colds
and Pronounees 1t an Excellent
Remedy.

Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh. Ca.
tarrh is Tell-nigh universal; almost ON.
nipresent. Pe-ru-na is the only abso-
Lutte safeguard known. A cold is the
beginning Of catarrh. To prevent colds,
to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out Of
its victims. Pe-ru-na not only cures,
but prevents catarrh. Every household
should be supplied with this great rem
edy for coughs, colds and so forth.
The Governor of Oregon is an ardent
admirer OF Pe-ru-na. He keeps it con
tinually In the house. In a recent letter
to DR.. Hartman he says.

DEAR SrRs-I have had occasion tc

lent remedy. l have not had occasion
10 use 1t for other ailments.
Yours very truly,
W. M. LORD.
1t will be noticed that the Governor
says he has not had occasion to use Pc.
ru-na for other ailments. The reason FOL
this Is, most other ailments begin witt

cure colds, he protects his famil,
against other ailments. This Is exactl,
what every other family 10 the United
States should do. Keep Pe-ru-na in The
house. Use 1t for coughs, colds, Ia
grippe, and other climatic affections Of

lion TO the general assembly, a. follows;
To Tie Honorahla the Fortieth General
Assembly Of the STATE Of Missouri;
Gentlsmen; Ia obedience to Law !
have the honor TO make the following
report on bank examination and the
banking laws Of the state Of Missouri
The banking examination went into
practical effect on July LIST, 1925, when
two examiners were appointed, the
necessary blanks prepared and the
examination Of banks was begun. For
convenience and the fuller Information
Of this general assembly |, therefore,
submit tae following tabulatsd state
ments, beginning with the date just
mentioned, but SO prepared that your
honorable body may easily see the
exact work which has been done In the
last two years.
Here follows a list Of the banks
which have been closed, ans a list OF
new banks. The following Is = sum-
mary Of the lists:
REHABILITATION.
To recapitulate; There have been
incorporated banks closed BY the state
since July l. 1895, thirty-one; private
banks closed by the state since July /,
1895, nine; Incorporated banks which
have assigned since July /, 1895, six ;
private banks which nav assigned
since July 1, 1895, two; incorporated
banks which have gone into voluntary
liquidation since July 1, 1895, twenty
nine; private banks which have gone
into voluntary liquidation since July /,
1895, twenty-one, or q total Of ninty-
eight banks which have, in most
instances, either been closed by the
state or caused TO be closed by the
Of the state examination. A
few Of the lIquidations have been en-
tirely voluntary because Of lack Of bust
ness or through other sufficient reasons.
Since July l, 1895, n~iuety-hve banks
have been incorporated In the state, and
private banks authorized
TO do business, OF 4 total Of one hun
dred and ~thirty-eight. There are at
this time 4Ss Incorporated state banks,
20 private banks and 6 trust compa-
niles subject TO examination, doing
business 10 the state, or s total Of 5S4.
Incidentally ii may be well for me to
state that there are now IS national
banks doing business In Missouri as
compared with So when my statement
was made two years ago. From Feb
rusry l, 1897, to February 6, 1899,
1899 examinations Of banks we're made.
The report shows all banks In a safe
condition. overdrafts have been
reduced, bank property lowered in
and re.ources strengthened. The
report is creditabls to Captain Lesueur,
aud q protection to our people from
wildcat banks.
