NINE AMERICANS KILLED.
Weeks Record I'm Filipino Campaign
Taft Re1ius Work

Taft Begins Work.
The results of the Filipino campaign
during the past week were nine Ameri-
cans killed, including captain AMI lieu
tenant, and twenty-three wounded, in
Guiding two captains. One captain was
captured. The Filipino loss is reported
to have been 30 killed, 63 wounded aid
40 men and 100 rifles captured. The
disturbances were chiefly in Panay and
Central Luzon. The capture OF the noto-
rlous Pic del Pillar by the native police
has greatly discouraged the insurgents.
The secret service men arrested in Ma
Mia a colonel of Filipino volL-tesrs. They
also seized q number of documents which
showed that the headquarters of the vol
nntcers were within a quarter Of mile
of the palace. almost under the noses of
the American military authorities.
President Taft and the other members
Of the Philippine commission spent last
week chiefly in securing quarters and
arranging their offices. They, however,
met large number Of Filipino politicians
and commercial leaders. The heavy work
of the commission has not yet berun.
One of the foremost questions is how and
from what material to organize a civil
force with which gradually TO supersede
the army as a governing machine. SPANS
auxiliary, the church. is necessarily bar
red from consideration, American expe-
rience with the natives discourages the
hope OF honest government through them
until generation or more has ere|ieated
the results of Spaia's tutelage. A large
| proportion of the provincial officials al
ready installed have proven treacherous.
| Charges against native judges Of failing
! to account for thousands OF dollars re-
| ceivt in fines are under investigation. At
present the governmental alternatives are
| the arm Y ON one side and anarchy on the
other, Gen. Otis plan Of municipal gov
| ernments is being inaugurated in the
principal towns of Central Luzon and in
parts Of the Visayas. but the Filipinos
persist in thinking that the question
whether the United States will retain the
Philippines Is still open.
The commissioners also find that the
| future state of the church in the Philip
pines is leading question in the minds
| of many, although most of those who
have talked witt. Judge Taft and his col
| leagues draw the inference that the com
missioners are opposed to the reinstate-
ment Of the friars. Archbishop Chap
| pellc has taken q strong stand in support
| ing the request Of the friars TO be re-
| established in then OIL position.

The Boxer society, which is responsible

than $50 years ago and was originally
all organization of radicals who are in
favor of overthrowing the Manchu SOW
erelgnty and restoring the great Ming dy-
nasty. The present troubles may be re-
lated back to the disputes between the
progressive party which had the Emperor
for its hguPehead and the conservative
party of the empress dowager. 1t will
be remembered that the Emperor bios
somed out as a reformer and issued sew
eral edicts which made the representa-
tives of China shudder with aversion and
dismay. Competent critics said at the
time that his methods wera so crude and
arbitrary as to be utterly impractical,
though they were inspired by correct mo-
tiyes Events justified their predictions.
Superstiti ms, long-csta blished customs
and abuses could not be overcome al a
word, and the reform movement played
right into the hands of the Empress.
After the Empress was restored to
power the zee Ho Chuan Righteousness,

wicked old woman either abetted or
winked at the crime. That is why the
imperial troops have made no Roadway
against the so-ca1led rebellion and why
the powers have united in self-proteetion.

eag0. Sne was JEANNE thGEh'
made a member of the Legion of Honor
and received a medal. Not long ago in
sending out invitations to royalties and
distinguished people all over the world to
visit the Paris fair French authorities
remembered Jennie Greek along with the
rest.
When she tagged the fast train and
prevented its running into n burned
bridge with 300 passengers, she was 10
years old, little sunbonneted country
girl on her way home from school. It
was near Millgrove. little station a few
miles east of Marion. tmong the pas
sengers was large party of Frcnehmen
returning home from the Worlds Fair
on the train bound from Chicago to New
York. When the train was near Mill
grove and going at sixty miles an hour
the engineer saw little girl standing in
the middle Of the track waving small
red pettieoat as a danger signal. He re-
yerscd his engine and applied the brakes,
which brought the train to a sudden stop.
A few feet in front of the engine was a
burning trestle that would have wrecked
the train and sent the passengers and
crew to death. The little girl explained
that she had been to school and was coms
ing home when she was attracted by the
smoke from the burning bridge. a mo-
ment later she heard the whistle of the
approaching train. She had seen the rail-
road employees flag the trains With red
flags. She was wearing a red skirt, and
with rare presence Of mind tore it off and
ran down the track to meet the train,
waving tn skirt frantically. The engi-
neer saw the danger signal and. true to
his training obeyed it.
Jennie Greek was carried through the
train on the shoulders of a Frcnchman
and the little red skirt was filed with
coins by the passengers. When the
Frenchmen arrived in France the incl
dent was related and a letter was sent
TO President Mckinley, who was then
Governor Of Ohio. asking him to secure
the address Of Jennie Greek. The Gov
ernor located her and notified the French
officials. who gent her a gold medal and &
membership in the Legion Of Honor Of
France.

st. Clair County Bond Case Receives
Offer of Compromise.
The far-famed st, Clair County, Mo,
railroad bond case is again before the
people of that county for a settlement.
1t IS represented by two attorneys chat
the indebtedness, which the Federal
court has ordered paid and which the
County Court refuses to obey, may be
legally removed, and they name 100000
as their fee In the event that they secure
relief through the courts. These attor-
neys are said to represent the b0ndhold-
ers in the case, who are willing to come
down to 100000 as compromise for
their enormous claim, which has grown
steadily each year that the debt has hung
over the county.
These bonds. issued for the building OF
railroad that never was built, have
made st. Clair County famous. The
county judges have for years refused to
order their payment, and for this refusal
We're held In contempt by the United
States Court and have been kept In jail,
one of the planks Of the platform on
which the judges were elected being the
| understanding that their term would be
| spent In jail.

FOOD IN ITS TRUE coLoRs.
Labels in Illinois Must Tell if Goods
Are AduIterated.

The Illinois grocer who has been selling
adulterated goods wi l the fervent assur-
ance that the articles were pure as ma
lure could make them is soon to appear
In his true coiors 20 his customers. July
] the new Illinois pure food law goes into
effect, and from that day forward every
label on every package of food stuff must
tell the truth and the whole truth about
the quality CT the goods or the man re-
sponsible fo. falsehood will be liable to
fine and Imprisonment.
July will be the day when every gro
Gerry store is off with the old label and on
with the new, and when the pure maple
strip" of yesterday will become the plain
glucose" of tomorrow. 'Currant jelly"
will no more appear stamped in big let
tiers on tina outside of tubs Of colored
glucose with added tartaric acid. Apple
butter" that never needed the products
of the orchard to produce it will have a
new name all its own, from which the
word apple is carefully excluded. Coffee
and chicory mixed together will no longer
go forth to the innocent mans breakfast
table as coffee" but will have to take
its place as coffee compound" among the
many kinds Of substitute coffees now on
the market. Circus lemonade is to be one
of the benehciaries of the new law. There
is an absolute prohibition of the sale of
'lemon extract" which has less than )
per cent of pure lemon oil, and the favor
of the fruit will consequently be in the
cheapest of street lemonade. The 'honey"
of the future in Illinois will be carefully
distinguished from "adulterated honey"
and n command px-pnef nf vanilla and
tonka' will for most persons take the
place of what is at present sold as
straight extract of vanilla. Also, every
can of baking powder sold in the future
must bear a specific statement as to
whether it is an alum, alum-phosphate or
cream of tartar powder.
