still More COMMUNICATIVE.

The Secret Service has unearthed an
other band of counterfeiters and secured
a large quantity of bogus bills, which are
so cleverly executed that the average per-
son would never suspect them of being
spurious. Things of great value are al
ways selected by eounterfeiters for imi-
tation, notably the celebrated Hostetters
Stomach Bitters, which has many imita-
tors but no equals for indigestion dyspep-
sia, constipation, nervousness and gen.
eral debility. The Bitters sets things
right in the stomach, and when the stom-
ach is in good order it makes good blood
and plenty of it. In this manner the Bit
ters get at the seat Of strength and vital
ity and restore vigor to the weak and
debilitated. Beware of counterfeitel's
when buying.

HORRIBLE CRIME.
Three People Murdered by Rob-
bers in Maryland.

CUMBERLAND (Md). Sept 22.-
The residence of Absolem Kesler, a
miserly farmer. aged so, living on the
West Virginia side of the river near
Pawpaw, was discovered on fire at l
o'clock this morning. Neighbors hur-
ried to the scene, and were Mortified to
find Kesler and Albert Gross, the hired
man, lifeless in the yard. The house
keeper, Anna DOMAIN, was also muir
dered, but her body was consumed in
the flames. The object of the crime
evidently was robbery.
Kesler was known to keep a large
sum of money about the house, but a
few weeks ago was persuaded to put
most of his money in the bank here.
The robbers secured about 5000, it is
thought.
After beating the two to death with
blunt instrument, as they supposed,
they set the building on fire to cover
up their crime, but the men had life
enough left to crawl out in the yard.
The officers claim to have a clew which
they are working on.

Secretary of the Electric Workers

WASHINGTON, Sept. Pr. w.
Sherman of Rochester, n. Y, Secre-
tary of the Electric Workers of Amer

Industrial Commission to-day. Most

the dues of his organization were oo
cents per month There was 500 death
benefit There had been thirteen strikes
in the organization in eighteen months.
OF these the organization had won
eleven, had compromised one, and one
was still on.
The organization did not include
more than = per cent. of the electrical
workers. AS a rule the workers had
steady employment. There was much
extra work, for which extra pay was
obtained The average pay was about
So per day.
His organization believed in compul-
sorry arbitration. In the strike at
Cleveland the union had offered to ap-
peal the issue to the State Board of
Arbitration, but the telephone company
refused. Compulsory arbitration, IN
his opinion, should carry with it power
of enforcing acceptance of the decree
of both parties.

gram from Governor Roosevelt to-day

gram, General Roe had a conference
with Mayor Van Wyck, and then

that his committee alone had the right

Mr.. Guggenheimer said of the Cover
nor's action:
1T is peculiarly Rooseveltian. 1t is
a most impudent, unjustifed and un-
warranted interference in a matter
that is without his province. I do not
| believe, however, that our committee
will take any notice of it,
| General Roe declined to discuss the
action of Governor Roosevelt in ad-
vance of the action of the Plan and
! Scope Committee.
| 1t is said that Governor Roosevelt
/ hension General Roe is not acting in
his capacity of Major General COM

derstood that General Roe was acting

Guard in the management of the pa
rade, and in that event I, of course,
had the power to direct that the veter-
ans be given the right of the line, and
accordingly did it. If, however, as ap-

that the national assembly would dis.
play such coolness and go about filling
the place made vacant by the sudden
death Of President Faure, with so little
excitement. But the French people
generally do the right thing al the
right time, and they have made no
mistake on this occasion.
A cool, deliberate man at the head
of the government Is needed at present,
and they have found such man in
VI. Loubet. He comes from the mid
die class, and is a lawyer of consider
able renowp. As president OF the
senate he displayed great tact as an
executive officer, being one who never
allows passion to get the better OF his

in official life, Loubet cares nothing
for show or pomp, but is plain, every
day man, just such one as France
needs at the head Of the government

MADE THE MONEY FLY.

The TWEEN Sieth biennial session OF
the legislature which came to q close
last Saturday, was not stingy in the
appropriation Of state funds, and the
way money was permitted to be ex-
pended, will cause this session to be
long remembered as the legislature
that pretended to economize, but did
not put its pretensions into prac-
tice. The general appropriation
bill carried appropriations amount
ing to 1898, ,945, while the special
appropriation bill that passed the
last day Of the session distributed
S244, ,5y2. 40, making total appropria-
ton of $685.. .537 .49. That much of this
amount was for unnecessary purposes.
even the legislators themselves will
not deny, and that at least or e-fourth
of it was a useless waste of state funds
every intelligent citizen knows. The
of the legislature was
but it cannot be remedied,
hence must be endured. It Is conso-
lation, however. to know that Wasco
representatives in both
houses, we're generally on the right
'ide, and we're found opposing need
ess expenditures, therefore the most
II the burdens that have been placed
,pon the taxpayers of the state by
his extravagant session must be laid

,ther counties.

CANNED BEEF WAS
UNWHOLESOME.
Col. Powell Before the
Miles Investigation.

WASHINGTON, Feb. s1.-The session
of the Miles court of inquiry began
today with Colonel W. II. Powell. OF
the Seventh Infantry, on the stand.
This regimdnt went through the San
tiago campaign, and after the city was
captured he received requests from his
men for money to buy stuff to eat.
He investigated the so called canned
roast beef, and had some of it served
at his own table. ~ could not eat 1t, !"
he continued. SIT was a stringy, un-
wholesome looking mass. more like
seaweed than anything else I can think
OF. The men were sick and debilitated
and could not keep it on their stom-
achs. We had at that time l52 sick.
Soon after that the canned beef began
to arrive, and the men ate readily and
began to bick up in health.
81 would like to emphasize" said
Colonel Powell, "that the enlisted
men of the army are not in the habit
of complaining. They seem to feel
in a campaign that the officers are
doing all that can oe done for them,
and 1 can't say that l received any
thing that could be termed complaints.
The officers discussed the matter freely
and the quality of the canned beef was
matter of common talk"
Regarding the refrigerated beef
Colonel Powell said there was little to
be said against it, except that some OF
it spoiled before it was received.
There was no facilities tor cooking
while in the city, except a fire in the
gutter, and all food had to be boiled.
"You made no official report at the
time," said Colonel Davis. 'Nor any
effort to ameliorate the condition of
the men as to their meat rations."
"No, sir; made no official report
until after returning to the States,
when I was ordered by the war de-
partment to report on the canned
roast beef.n
Cononel Davis then produced a re.
port from witness, made from Cover.
nor's island, September 20, in which
he condemned the canned roast beef,
saying it produced disorder OF the
stomach. Cononel Powell said he had
made that report on an order from she
adjutant-eeneral's Office, and that ii
was based on personal knowledge and
reports from his company commanders.
Cononel Powell concluded by re.
viewing the decrease in sickness after
the issue of fresh beef and the removal
of the camp to the hills. Explaining
his expression, want of purtritjYe
value" he said the beef gave no
pleasure in eating nor was it source
of strength to the body.

The People of Negros Islands Satisfied
With This Government.
MANILA, Feb. 22.-While the guns
on the city wall and those on board
the ships of Dewey's feet in the bay
fired salute in honor of Washington 8
birthday, four commissioners from the
leland of Negros had an interyie W
with Otis, and informed him that the
American flag had already been raised
over that island. and that it's inhabit-
anita were ready, anxious, and willing
to accept any proposition Americans
might offer. The insurgents have
been driven from the island entlrely.
Although the Ilo lilo rebels have
given the people of Negros much
trouble, especially in the matter of
financial assistance made by the rebel
leaders. the inhabitants of Negros
have persistently held aloof. and no "
through the commissioners they an.
nounce that they want the advice and
help of Otis.
The latter assured them that the
Americans would provide an accept.
able government, and in the mean
time he instructed them not to pay the
rebels anything. The Negros com.
missioners were delighted with the re-
ception.
