vancing four miles, mostly through
woods and Jungle, and crossing the
Bagbag river. This was accomplished
at cost to the Americans of six killed
and 2S wounded, the First South Dakota
regiment being the heaviest loser
After fording the river the South Da-
kotans pursued the insurgents to the
outskirts of Calumpit, but the town
was found so strongly protected that
Gen. Macarthur deemed il best to with
draw the tired fighters and to go into
camp for nights rest before making
the final assault. The largest buildings
in Calumpit were being fired by the
Filipinos while the Americans were
crossing the river fully mile away,
indicating the enemS's intention to

in a Fiendish Manner.
THEY BURN A COLORED MAN AT THE STAKE
Before the Torch Is Applied His Ears
and Fingers Are Cut on and His
Body Saturated with Ofl-Specta-
tors Fig Int TO Secure CHASTITY Relics
of the Scene.

Newman, Ga, April 24.-Sam Hose,
the murderer of Alfred Crawford and
the ravisher of his wife, was burned at
Sunday afternoon in the presence of
$500 people.
Before the torch was applied to the
pyre. the negro was deprived of his ears,
fingers and other portions of his anat-
omy. The negro pleaded pitifully for
his life, while the mutilation was going
on, but stood the orde., of fire with
surprising fortitude. Before the body
was cool, it was cut to pieces, the bones
were crushed into small bits and even
the tree upon which the wretch met his
fate was torn up and disposed OF as
souvenirs. The Negroes heart was cut
in several pieces, as was also his liver
Those unable to obtain the CHASTITY rel
les direct, paid their more fortunate
possessors extravagant sums for them.
Small pieces of bone went for 25 cents,
and a bit of the liver, crisply cooked,
sold for ten cents. AS soon as the negro
was seen to be dead there was ire
mendous struggle among the crowd
which had witnessed his tragic end to
secure the souvenirs. A rush was made
for the stake, and those near the body
were forced against it, and had to fight
for their freedom. Knives were quick
ly produced, and the body was soon dis
membered.
The mob was composed of citizens of
Newman, Griffin, Palmetto and other
little towns in the country round about
Newman and of all the farmers who
had received word that the burning was
to take place. One of the men who
lifted the can of kerosene to the ne
gro's head is said to be a native of the
commonwealth of Pennsylvania. His
name is known to those who were with
him, but they refuse to divulge it.

JACK MURDER CASE
 ENDS SUDDENLY
The State Failed to Prove Ex-
 istence of a Conspiracy,
AND JUDGE HUDDLESTON
Instructed Jury to Exclude All Testi- mony Offered by Prosecution and Return Verdict of Not Guilty,
 Which Was Done.

DeKalb, Miss, March 22.-(Special. 1.-The trial of Guy Jack came rather suddenly to an end here this afternoon. The state re- sumed the introduction of testimony when court convened this morning, and intro- duced several witnesses, whose testimony had no particular bearing on the case as tending to prove the existence of a con spiracy between Jack and pr. w. H. Lips comb.
 Shortly after noon the state closed its case and the counsel for the defense moved to exclude the testimony offered by the state, because 1t did not prove or tend to prove any conspiracy between Guy Jack and Dr. Lipscomb, and because It did not prove or tend to prove that the de- fendant, Jack, had been connected or had any agency whatever, criminal or other wise, in the death of Stewart.
 The defense further contended that the state had signally failed to show the ex- istence of a conspiracy between Jack and Lipscomb, as the counsel had declared they would do.
 The court sustained the motion to ex- clude all the testimony offered by the state, and instructed the jury to return a verdict of not guilty. The jury there upon retired and in a few moments fled into court with a verdict in accordance with the instructions of Judge Hudd. e. ston, and Jack was accordingly released from custody.
 This ends a case that has excited a great deal of interest throughout the state and south.

Opelika, March 22.-(Special)-Th county convention for the election of delegates to the constitutional convention met here to- day and nominated Gen. G. P. Harrison Col. w. j.. Sanford and Hon. E. c. Jenkins. The convention was practically unanimous. Gov. Johnstons friends, who have been in control of county affairs, were not in the convention on strength, as they had lost their hold before the primary was held. A singular coincidence is that Sanford and Harrison helped frame the present state constitution and bylaws over twenty-five years ago. Both have been to congress since then and now both are selected again to represent the same county in constitu- tional convention.

The wife of the distinguished Mckee Rankin, mother of the accomplished and versatile Phyllis Rankin, herself the actress and stage artist of this generation such is Mrs. Mckee Rankin. A mag nificent specimen of American beauty, perfect picture of health, a paragon of womanly graces and accomplish ments.
 What is the secret of such success? What is the explanation of such varied and dazzling achievements? No one thing, probably, and yet although many things may have combined to perfect this remarkable woman, yet in her own mind one thing deserves first mention. We quote recent letter from her to Dr. Hartman, in which clew is furnished to her own opinion as to one element of her success. She says:
 "No woman should be withouta bottle of Pe-ru-na in reserve. The einventor de- serves the thanks of all to whom clear voice is means of livelihood. As 8 remedy for catarrh of the head and throat, it is, I believe, without an equal. Even slight cold or cough often abso- lutely incapacitates an actress for busi- ness. Pe-ru-na is an effectual preventive against these nearly inevitable affec- tions."-Mrs. Mckee Rankin.
 A healthy woman is becoming more and more rare. But comparatively few women who are suffering with catarrh know that this is the case. Their trou- ble is called dyspepsia, heart trouble, fe- male weakness, weak lungs, nervous de- bility; indeed, almost the whole cate Gory of medical terms has been applied
