March, IS. IL was as large orange. In the
meantime | consulted five different physicians,

operation did not know what do vi til friend
recommended me to go to you, and am thankful

who has anything of the kind to go and consult

cannot effect cure. My daughter, who nursed
through it all, also joins in blessing you for
my cure. Most gratefully yours,

Marc is more than a magician, he
is musician, veritable yirtuoso

he is able to introduce in his enter
tainment musical program of de-
lightful variety, appealing TO every
one who loves the magical influence

Last but not least. Marc is proba-

1t is to be understood by them and all
Others that the federal government
in making arrests for violations of its
laws will make them and execute them
and not violate its OWL. laws as regards
the mileage of its officers for fear Of
those outlaws. The government is
perfectly able to cope with these law
breakers and law detiers and will fur
nish its officers all necessary assistance
to enforce its precepts according to its
own methods. 1t is not it's method to
sneak its prisoners through Out-Of-the
way places in order to oavoid those per-
sons who seek to defy and nullify its
mandates"
One of the Kansans who fought un-
der Funston-E. b. Welch-is in
Washington. He said: "The Flip
pino at his best is poor sort of a
creature, and no more fit than an
Apache to be an American citizen.
Talk about having no right to govern
him without his consent. We govern
the indians, don't we, and children
and idiots and others who are not ca
pable of looking after themselves?
Somebody has got to do the job. To
cut them loose to shift for themselves
would be like penning flock Of sheep
and Il pack of wolves together, and tel
ling them to work out their own sal
walton. What would happen in such
a case. The wolves would eat up the
sheep, of course. That's just what
would happen in the Philippines. We
are there, and we've got to stick, no
matter whether Mckinley or Bryan or
the man in the moon should be elect
ed president"
One of the most important official
statements yet made concerning the
future policy of the administration
towards Cuba was given out by the
war department This week, in answer
to charges by Senor Cisneros, a former
president of the Cuban republic, that
this government was not acting in
good faith in the preliminaries of es-
tablishing an independent Cuban gov
ernment. The statement says that
this government will not interfere in
any way with the framing Of consti-
tuition by the Cubans and that when
the constitution is completed the
president will send it to congress,
which must determine it's acceptable
ity. In other words, the president in
tends that congress shall say when the
Cubans have established a government
stable enough to do business on its
own heck. II that statement is lived
up to, there will be no ground for Just
complaint on the part Of anybody.

Breezy Gossip on Various Topics
From the Nations Capital.

gether after all, to deal with the Chi
nese situation, which has apparently
grown worse, instead of better, since
the capture of Pekin and the rescue of
the foreigners. Tue bulk OF the evil
dence at hand shows that it was the
imperial Chinese troops, acting under
the orders of those who claimed to
represent the Chinese government,
that attacked Pekin and that
fought and are still lighting the allied
army. This shows that China either
has no government capable of contlUll-
ing the Chinese army or that the Chi
nese government is openly making war
on the allied nations. Although those
portions of important communications
from General Chaffee and Minister
Conger dealing with this subject have
been kept from the public, it is well
known that they both take this view
and regard existing conditions in and
around Pekin as actual war. The
president is loath to take that view Of
the matter, although the flight of the
Empress Dowager from Pekin seems
to confirm it. In refusing Ii Hung
Chang's request for the appointment
of an American commissioner to ne
gotiate terms Of peace, this govern
ment took the ground that there are
doubts whether China has govern
ment Of sufficient responsibility to be
negotiated with.
This has been week of important
conferences at the white house on the
official news from China. Yet, the
president, who has gone to Chicago to
attend the G. A. r. emcampment, left
Washington a very much perplexed
man. The future policy of the United
States in China is up in the air, SO to
speak, and will depend entirely upon
circumstances. The only thing that
is certain is that the American troops
will not be withdrawn from China, as
many hoped they would after our
minister and the other Americans in
Pekin were rescued. The situation.
which is so unsatisfactory, may be
made clearer by later communications
from General Chatfee. In fact, he has
been asked by the president TO give
his opinions fully. Until then we
shall have to be patient.
The comptroller of the treasury this
week made ruling in disallowing
mileage claims of United States
marshal in West Virginia, which is
likely to make trouble for marshals
and deputy marshals in those sections
of the country infested by moonshin-
ers. The ruling in substance is that
the shortest practicable route shall be
used in taking prisoners to Jail and in
serving United States warrants. The
marshal whose claims for mileage
were disallowed had taken prisoners
TO Jail by roundabout route in order
to avoid taking them through the no.
torious shooting creek country,
where it is claimed that moonshiners
make it almost impossible to carry
prisoners with safety. In his ruling
the comptroller said; ''The govern
ment cannot afford, even indirectly,
to encourage by show OF fear of re-
sistance to its processes by few ig-
norant and vicious mountaineers
