A Sad Story from Shenandoah.

The bright career of Joseph =.
Lonas, son of Mr.. Frederick Lonas,
a well-known farmer of that county,
who lives near Rinkerton, four miles
west of Mount Jackson, has been af-
fected by the excessive use OF cigar
cites. Young Lonas during the past
year was member of the senior class
in the Medical College of Richmond,
and stood well 10 his class until, short
while ago. his mind gave way under
his smoking habits and hard study.
He was brought to his home in this
county, where it was thought that he
would soon recover. Apparently he
did so. A few days ago he paid an
uncle visit. His uncle was smoker,
and the young man begged so plteous-
| ly for a smoke that his uncle gave in
to him and loaned him his pipe. Sim
ply smoking this once placed the young
man in worse condition than at any
time vet. And now at times he be-
comes violent. The Lonas family has
been a sorely afflicted one in the past
years. A few years ago an uncle OF
the young man above mentioned lost
three sons in boiler ex olOsion. Short
| " afterward his home was visited bJ
a destructive fire, and in afew months
the bulk of what remained was carried
away by high water.
The last reports from young Lonas
is that he is doing well and improving
slowly.

100, 600 Men Needed in the Philippines

Doctor Chas. A. McQuesten, who
was on the staff of General E. s. Otis
and who has been health officer al
Manila, has returned home invaded
by The climate.
Captain McQuesten made a close
study of conditions OF the Philippine
situation. He is of the opinion that
it will take from 100, 900 to $50, 600 sci
diers to property subdue and hold the
islands. He also says that the peace
commission was an absolute failure
and that its work from the start was
without effect. He strongly supports
the military government of the islands
except that he believes that more men
will be necessary than has been esti
mated heretofore.
"Unless troops, thousands of them
he said. "are sent to the aiG of oul
men there they will be driven back in
to Manila in the course Of the next few
months, during the rainy season. Oul
men simply cannot stand the climate.
Fifty per cent. Of them will be incapaci.
tated by sickness and the territory
overrun will have to be abandoned
and Manila will BE in state of siege
