Does Not Suit Mckinley.

Our armies in Luzon seem to be &C.
lively hunting Aguinaldo's army with.
out finding it. They say that instead
they find in the deserted posts instruc-
tlons from Aguinaldo to his troops to
scatter when our troops appear. This
has been the steady policy of the ma.
tive warfare. They disappear in front
and reappear behind. AS long as our
forces are not numerous enough to oc.
cupy the whole land, so will the ma.
tives possess it's vacant places.
Everyone knows what the outcome
of such situation is. We will have
constant victories reported and CON
stant movements so long as the land ID
traversible; and when it ls buried
again in mud our troops will sit down
and wait for a repetition Of their
marches.

ing Aguinaldo, because its cheapnesi
is obvious, but Aguinaldo does moi
seem to be of the selling sort; or hi

it to be the independence of his coun

Take care of the stomach and the
health will take care Of itself. If peo-
pie only realized the soundness of that
statement the majority might live to a
good old age like Moses, the eye un-
dimmed, the natural force unabated.
1t is in the stomach that the blood is
made. It is from the stomach that
nourishment is dispensed to nerve and
muscle. If the stomach is weak it
can't do its whole work for each part
of the body. If it is diseased the dis
ease will taint the nourishment which
is distributed, and so spread disease
throughout the body. 1t was the re-
alization of the Importance of the
stomach as the very center Of health
and the common source of disease,
which led DR.. Pierce to prepare the
Golden Medical Discovery. Diseases
which originate in the stomach must
be cured through the stomach. The
soundness Of this theory is proved
every day by cures Of diseased organs
heart, liver, lungs, blood-by the use
of the Discovery which is solely and
singly a medicine for the blood and or
gans of digestion and nutrition. 1t il

To Tap Alaska PIacerS.

Alaska is to have another
railroad. The promoters have
secured right-of-way from Val
DIES on Prince William sound
via Mentasta pass to Eagle
City. The road will be 400
miles long, 1000 feet being
the highest elevation, through
a deep canyon to the east of
the Copper river glacier,
where a roadbed will have to
be dug out of the side of the
canyon for about three miles.
All the rest of the way is easy
railroad building. The war
department has agreed to send
three small detachments to
police this new route. This
company, owing to the direct
ness of its route, will undoubt.
eddy obtain the contract for
carrying the Yukon mail,
which is to be readvertised
soon.

we clip the following: "The

according to numbers than
other regiments. They have

But this number makes no
greater per cent. than comes
to any army in active service.
For months the regiment had
the best health record of any

greater today than other regi.

Burned to Death.

Lapwai, Idaho, Jan. 2o.-A
distressing death occurred
Thursday morning on the re-
servation near Melrose, a little
three-year.old child of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. T. McCarty being
burned to death. The par
ents were out of the house at
the time, and it is supposed
the child in some manner got
its clothes on fire from the
stove. The clothes were al
most completely burned off the
child and the little one expired
shortly after it was discov-
cred.
