Persistent Advertising
Brings Success.
WHY NOT THE FACTS?

The sooner the War Department
permits the full publication of the news
from the Philippines the better. That
there has been a systematic holding
back of most important facts since the
beginning of the war there can not be
the slightest doubt; that is has been
done that the American people should
be kept in ignorance, and not from mil
itary necessity, as was the case in the
Spanish war, is also apparent. In the
matter of our actual losses
in killed and wounded, the
truth has probably not half
been told, while as to the ravages
of disease among our soldiers we are in
complete ignorance, except as to what
can be surmised from occasional re-
ports of the effective strength of GER
tain volunteer regiments. The conclu-
sion is irresistible that much has oc-
Cured on the islands that is unfavor-
able to us, and while it is probably not
SO bad as the London kilograms, which
assert that private dispatches received
there declare that Generals Lawton and
Hall were recently defeated, it is so un-
satisfactory that it must be withheld
from the nation.
That the number of troops in the field
is grossly inadequate to hold the coun-
try after it is swept free of armed ma
tives is shown by the fact that some
thing like one hundred towns have been
captured, only to be abandoned, when
the Filipinoss promptly return and take
possession. We really hold on to moth
ing but Manila and its immediate sur
roundings, the railroad to the north
and few strategic points, and mean
while there is undoubtedly continu-
Gus loss in killed and wounded of twen-
ty to thirty men a day, or six hundred
to 1000 per month, to say nothing of
those disabled by illness and the heat.
Some of these days news will leak
through by some channel which will
dissipate the roseate glow thrown over
the Philippine war through the persis-
tent use of the censor's blae pencil, and
when this happens there will be a de-
mand from one end of the country to
the other that the conflict shall cease.
and woe to the administration if the
demand be not needed.

TWO BROTHERS

Charged With Fraud at Cumberland and
Under Arrest.
Special to the Register
CUMBERLAND, Nd, June III. W.
Collins was brought here from Fair
mont, w. Va, and landed in Jail yes
terday, and his brother, E. r. Collins,
is under arrest there and will be
brought on here
The brothers are charged with OBJ
tanning about $500 here fraudulently.
They came here in December as the
agents of concern in New York
known as the American Investors
Loan Association. The money was adj
vanced by people here wish the expec-
tation of securing loanA 1t now turns
out that the New York concern is
fraudulent, but that the members of
the home Office are under arrest The
Collins brothers claim that they have
turned over all the money they have
collected to that concern, and that if it
is fraudulent they, too, are victims.
They are very oily tongued, however.
After operating here for some weeks
they went to Fairmont and opened up
an office.

A TRUST METHOD.

Some inside facts as to the formation
of trusts, these days, have come out in
connection with the American Linseed
Company, and they possess a very con-
siderable interest for business men.
When the combine was formed
$16,750,000 of preferred and like
amount of common stock was issued.
The preferred was supposed to repre-
sent real value, while the common
stock was simply bonus. A New York
firm financed the deal, and itself took
$6,0O0,000 of preferred and, of course,
the same amount of common, paying
therefor $5,000,0 900 in cash, or 1888 per
share for the preferred, and nothing
for the common Other stock was I'M
loaded upon Chicago gentlemen, at $95
to $3.50 per share. These latter gen
tlemen promptly manipulated the stock
so that preferred went to $105 and $106,
and the wise New Workers promptly
unloaded upon them at the advance.
Preferred is now selling at $45 and
common at So. The New Workers came
out all right, but the Chicago men are
stuck, their account standing plus what
little stock they managed to sell to
confiding public at prices better than
$3.50, and minus the difference be-
tween $3.50 and $45 In other words,
they are away out on the deal.
1t is pretty safe to say that the gen.
tlemen who got their fingers burned
in this particular combine will let such
things severely alone in the future

The nailers were once we'll paid, but

object to, however, is the fact the in

money was more plentiful among the
Levee negroes than for many months In
all the Levee saloons beer flowed freely,

extolling the. virtues of the washerwom-

tina they knowed it was gwine to come
out some time, and that they dome had
their money down on it good and plenty.
We are not advised as to how long
it has been since "4-11-44" was
yielded up by the goose in Wheeling,
but whether the time is near or re-
mote, the Chicago colored mans be-
lief that "all things come to him who
waits" is well founded, and the result
ing persistence in playing combina-
ton which hadn't Shown up for
eighteen months, should encourage
the local admirers of this cheap
gambling device to keep on, with
the certainty of reward in the
end. No one can tell at what rolf

there is nothing to interfere with per-
sistent attempts to win except short
