NATIVES SEEK VENGEANCE.
Massacre and Pi11age Follow Retire
ment of Otis Army.

Massacre and PIl1age FOLLOW ket1re-
ment of Otis Army.
Massacre and pillage have followed the
retirement of the United States army
from villages captured during the present
Philippine campaign. 1t was found inn
possible to leave garrisons at all the towns
and withdrawal from many was neces-
sary. In each case armed Filipinos have
reoccupied the cities, their first acts being
to punish all suspected Of approving. Of
American sovereignty. Friendly natives
arriving in Manila from the country
around San Isidro and San Miguel report
that a reign Of terror has prevailed since
the American troops were withdrawn
from those parts Of the islands. The in
surgents who are returning there deal ven
geance upon those of their countrymen
who showed any friendship toward the
Americans during the latter's occupation
of the territory.
The friendlies declare that unoffending
people are being murdered daily, their
houses burned and their property conhs-
Gated Plenty of sympathizers with the
instruction remained during the Ameri-
cans stay and they have been reporting
these instances of friendliness toward the
United States troops. The refugees add
that the inhabitants were badly Cypress
ed by the native soldiers before the Amer
lean occupation, but that their condition is
worse now. Doubtless there is much truth
in the reports, though such stories from
Filipino sources are always magnifed.

Uneoualed for It's Purpose.

AS a covering for walls and ceilings
there is nothing equal to Alabastines
the celebrated product of the Alabas-
tine Company of Grand Rapids, Mich.
1t is eminently healthful and econom-
ical. Being porous, 1t permits ventila-
ton, in which it is superior to wall pa
pers, which, besides, are often tainted
with poison. This makes Alabastine
unequal for use in sleeping rooms. Too
much thought cannot be given to the
condition of the apartments in which
we sleep, and they should be freed as
much as possible from the germs OF
disease and death. BY coating the
walls and ceilings of these rooms with
the pure Alabastine, this danger is OBJ
waited. There is nothing more pure
and clearly than this wall coating, the
base of which is natural rock product
that sets on the wall and hardens with
age. Alabastine does not rub or scale
off and requires no scraping before re-
tlnting. There is absolutely no COM
pariSon between the beautiful and dur
able Alabastine and the dirty kali
appliances Of which the world is now
weary. 1t is the only preparation
which can be properly applied by the
householder himself. 1t is only neces-
sary to mix it with cold water 1t 10
then ready for use, and child can
brush it on.
Alabastine is for sale by paint deal
ers, who, when requested, will give
inquirers a card OF tints, running from
white to twelve other beautiful colors..
Or this may be had, with free copy or
their paper THE Alabastine Era, by
writing to the company. Purchasers
should refuse any offers Of something
just as good" as Alabastine. By insist
ing on having Alabastine in packages
and properly labeled, they will get sat
isfactory results and beautiful walls.

WEST HAS SIX ToRNAooEs.
Iowa. Nebraska and South Dakota
Are Great sufferers.

Iowa. Nebraska and South Dakota
Are Great Sufferers.
Sioux City was in the center of six tor
nadoes Tuesday night which did much
damage in Iowa, South Dakota and Ne
braska. One storm struck near Kings
ley, Iowa, q second near Jefferson, s. D.,
and three across the Missouri river in
northeastern Nebraska. One life is re-
ported lost and several were injured.
A tornado swept over the northwest
part Of Mills County, Iowa, doing consid-
cradle damage to farm property and ruin
ing crops. The house and barn and out
buildings Of John Rohrburg, prominent
farmer living two miles north of Mfneola
were totally destroyed, his little GIRL aged
IL years, was killed, one of his boys had
a leg broken and the balance of the fam
lily were more or less seriously injured.
Barns and corn cribs were destroyed and
farm implements scattered. A cyclone
formed about three miles southwest of
Kingsley, Iowa, and moved north about
one mile, where it struck and demolished
the large barn and outbuildings on the
William Adams farm west of town. From
this place it moved north to the farm own
ed by w. A. Stevens, where it demolished
SfS1S OulAuluS vi LhC P1dSCs a 4dAAAAS ny
the name of Johnson, who lived at this
place, was saved by going into the cave.
In South Dakota the damage was all
confined to the farms. No loss of life is
believed to have occurred. The tornado,
which swept through a thickly settled
country, did not hit many farm houses,
although it passed very close to many of
them, their escape from destruction seem
ing almost miraculous.
There were three twisters in northeast
ern Nebraska. The storm that passed be-
tween Ponca and Newcastle followed
along the ground for several miles before
it broke up. John WILDER lost verything
but his house. Charles Mur6n's house
and barn were wrecked. Samuel Green 8
barn was destroyed and Jacob Dennis lost
both his house and barn. James Cones
house was totally destroyed. George Wal
beck's barn was blown away. "A Sec
ond storm destroyed a great deal Of prop
erty near Martinsburg and killed consid-
cradle live stock. A third wrecked a
school house at Plainview and did other
damage. North of Dixon, Neb., the tor
nado completely leveled all the buildings
on several farms and badly injured others.
Considerable live stock was killed and
crops destroyed. The funnel-shaped
clouds were seen by many persons, who
hastily betOOk themselves to cellars.

NICARAGUA CANAL ESTIMATES.
State Department Gives Abstract of
Conn ission's Report.

State Department Gives Abstract of
Comm ssion's Report.
The State Department has made public
an official abstract Of the report Of the
Nicaraguan canal commission as present
ed by Admiral Walker, the head of the
commission. 1t is understood to be the
intention of the President to submit the
full report to Congress at the beginning Of
the next session.
The report goes into minute details with
respect to the construction of the canal,
and says after mature deliberation the
commission has adopted and estimated for
the route from Brito to Lake Nicaragua,
called Childs' route, and from the lake to
Greytown, called Lull route The line
leaving Brito follows the left bank of the
Rio Grande to near Bueno Retire, crosses
the western divide to the valley Of the
Lajas, which it follows to Lake Nicara-
qua. Crossing the lake to the head of the
San Juan river, it follows the upper river
to near Boca San Carlos, thence, in ex-
cavation, by the left bank of the river to
the San Juanillo, and across the low coun-
try to Greytown, passing to the north
ward of Lake Sillico. 1t requires but
single dam, with regulating works at
both ends of the summit level.
To determine the proper unit of prices
for excavation the average Of prices &C.
tually paid to contractors on the Chicago
drainage canal were taken. 10 these
prices certain percentages were added for
the difference in location, climate, etc.
The commission believes that a canal can
be built across the isthmus on this route
for not exceeding Sis, 113, 79O.

Force of Rife Bullet.

In the English official regulations for
1898 it is stated that the mean extreme
range Of the Lee Metford bullet may be
taken as about $500 yards, although,
with strong wind, 300 yards have
been Observed. The bullets find their
way though joints Of walls, unless the
walls are made very fine and set in
cement. About $50 rounds, concen-
trated on nearly the same spot at 200
yards, will break a nine-inch brick
wall. Rammed earth gives less pro-
lection than loose. When fired into
sand the bullet is found to be always
turned aside after it has entered lit
tie way.

BABY CLARK Is FOUND.
Child Abducted from New York IL Re.
stored to Parents

stored to Parents.
The search for little Marion Clark. who
was kidnapped in New York on Sunday,
May 81, and returned to her parents
Thursday night, revealed the existence Of
an organized body whose purpose is to
steal the children of wealthy people and
hold them for ransoms.
The child was found at the farm house
of Richard Oakley, in the heart of the
Ramapo mountains, near Sloatsburg,
Rockland County, n Y One of the alb
ductors was arrested when the baby was
found. She calls herself Jennie Wilson.
A man who said he was James ]. Wilson,
her husband, was with her when she was
found, and was also arrested.
Jennie Wilson formerly taught school
at st. Johns, the little spostofice in the
Ramapo mountains, near which she was
residing with Marion when arrested. The
farm house Of Frank Oakley, in which
Marion Clark had been concealed, is about
a mile from the railway station of Sloats-
burg, in Rockland County. st. Johns is
a settlement of few scattered houses and
contains church and school. The mat
ron of the school is Mrs. Ada B. Carey,
who is also postmistress of st. Johns.
The credit for the discovery of the child is
due to Mrs. Carey, who recognized Marion
from newspaper pictures. Marion was
taken to st. Johns by Jennie Wilson.
When she called for letters at the post
office Mrs Carey recognized her as Carrie
Mentally, daughter of a newspaper edl-
tor in Goshen, n. Y.
Mrs. Carey swore out warrant for the
arrest of the suspected woman before
Squire Isaac Herbert of West Haver-
straw. 1t was served on the abductress
by Deputy Sheriff Charleston of ST.
Johns. The woman was accompanied by
Wilson at the time She broke down and
wept. Then she led the deputy to where
Marion lay asleep in the farm house.
kilograms had been sent to New York,
and as fast as it was possible for him to
travel Mr.. Clark hurried to West Haver-
straw. Soon after identifying the baby
the father left the village with the little
girl in his arms. A big crowd greeted the
party with the recovered child on its ar
rival in New York. At the Clark resi-
dence a great crowd, cheering and weep
ing, awaited and heralded the father and
his child. Mrs. Clark swooned when she
saw from a window the returning search

issue against Paul B. Hudson, the manu-
facturer Of the foot powder called DIR.

from making or selling DR.. Clark.s Foot
Powder, which is declared, in the decision
Of the Court, an imitation and infringement

country. Allen s. Olmsted, Of Leroy, n Y,
Is the owner Of the trade mark "Foot-Ease,'
and he Is the first individual who ever adj

A HINT TO THE MAYOR.

The record of burglaries and other
crimes of violence in St Paul for the
past few months is being splendidly main
tanned. The manner of the commission
of the successive burglar;es continues to
be substantially the same. There is the
same contempt for the local police force
shown by the burglars in every case.
Even the presence of the residents Of the
houses broken into seems to constitute
10 deterrent to the criminals.
In this city, on Saturday last, accord
ing to the reports eff the local press, there
We're two burglaries committed, one on
st. Peter street, the other on College
avenue Both appear to have been COM
mitted in daylight. There was also COM
plant made by a citizen that he was
held up, cho&ed and robbed of a sum of
money, on Saturday evening, at St Peter
and Tenth streets, in the very heart of
the resident section of the city.
The people OF st. Paul are evidently
becoming used to this sort of thing. The
week is now an exceptional one when
the industrious Fraternity of house-break
ing and highway robbery have not an
other laurel to add to those already won
by them in our city.
In time, should Mayor Kiefer not see
fit to take the prevailing condition into
serious consideration, there is ample rea-
| son to hope that this form of crime will
have been so long attended by immunity
to its authors that their sense Of security
must inevitably get them into trouble
Then, at least, we can look for arrests;
and, thanks to the proverbially short
memory of the public. the local police
! force may secure something of a reputa-
ton for efficiency.
Until this condition of affairs IS brought
about curious persons may find it inter-
est1ng to engage in a computation Of
the number of such crimes that have
been committed in st. Paul in the past
six months where their perpetrators
have gone undiscovered, and the number
also, if there be any, wherein the GRIM
inals were brought to justice.
The only remedy which the G e
can possibly suggest for this touching
state of things is that Mayor Kiefer may
once more assume the role of detective,
and with the aid Of his unofficial chief
of staff. Mr.. Mcintyre, go forth and cap
ture the criminals red-handed, after the
manner CT his Elustrious exploits in the
line of policy gambling.
