ROBBED Fl GRAVE.

A startling incident of which MI. John
Oliver Of Philadelphia was the subject.
is narrated by him as follows: II was
in a most dreadful condition. My skin
was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue
coated, pain continually in back and
sides, no appetite-gradually growing
weaker day BY day. Three physicians
had given me up. Fortunately a friend
advised trying Electric Bitters.' and to
my great Joy and surprise, the first bot
tie made a decided Improvement I. I
continued their use for three weeks,
and am now a we'll man. I know they
saved my life and robbed the grave Of
another victim" No n should fail to
try them. Only 50 cents per bottle at
H. A.. Davis & Co.'s drug store.

Diamond Cutters and Their Work.

O1RHOHU CutterB ana T6e1f WOfK.
Not only is diamond cutting not a
specially highly paid occupation, but it
Is one involving q most humiliating
system Of espionage to the worker.
Each man has to strictly account for
the stones he receives on going to work
In the morning, and the count has to be
carefully taken when the unfinished
work is handed in at night to be locked
up In a safe against the return Of the
workmen the next day. The possibili-
ties of theft are great, though q dishon-
EST workman knows that an attempt to
dispose Of an unfinished stone would
bring suspicion upon him wherever the
attempt was made.

KOBBE'S GOOD WORK
Occupies Important Towns on Ca
tandunes Island.

Manila, Jan. 2S. - A dispatch from
SorsogOn, dated Thursday, Jan. %,
says Brig. Gen. Kobbe's expedition
has occupied Sorsogon, Donsola, Bull
Ian, Logaspi and Virac on Catandunes
island. The only resistance was at
Legaspi. where five Americans We're
wounded and forty-fye dead and fif-
teen wounded Filipinos were found.
1t is estimated that there are 1875 o
bales of hemp in these provinces and
10000 bales in the ports Of Sorsogon
and Legaspi. The United States gum
boat Nashville's shrapnel burned
5000 bales in Legaspi. The expedition
arrived off Sorsogon Jan. 20 and the
town displayed white flags. Gen.
Kobbe and Col. Howe, with a battalion
Of the Forty-seventh infantry, landed
and raised the United States flag. The
insGrgent force, numbering 800 men,
evacuated the place. The natives We're
passive. During the morning of Jan.
% the Nashville and Venus, with four
companies of the Forty-seventh infan-
try, under Maj. Shipton, approached
Legaspi. Filipino flags were flying and
the trenches were crowded. A de-
tachment of $50 picked men, led by
Maj. Shipton, landed on the beach
about a mile north of town. The Nash
vile bombarded the trenches and the
enemy retreated to Albany, whence
lthey were easily dispersed to a hill.
| Some 200 insurgents, armed with
rifles, forced 900 unwilling villagers,
armed with bows and arrows, to serve
i'm the trenches in the close range
street fighting before the enemy fed.
| The Filipino dead were mostly viii
layers who were attempting to fee.
The expedition will proceed TO Samar
and Leyte. where the Fourth battery
and a battery of the Third artillery
Will be distributed. The natives COM
plain of lack of food resulting from the
blockade. They are strongly opposed
to the return of the friars. Native
priests are officiating in the churches.
Lieut.. Webb G. Hayes has defeated
an intrenched force Of the enemy at
| Sariaga. One American was killed
and four wounded. A record of eleven
prisoners was found. Capt. Steele,
while scouting near Baras with his
company, encountered 400 insurgents.
He was reinforced by Capt. Gracio and
the enemy was driven TO Tanay. One
American was killed and one was
wounded.

Running Fight with Robbers mt

Running Fight with Robbers at
Quincy, HI.
Quincy, ILL.,, Jan. 30.-Quincy police
officers last night killed we expert
safe blowers, supposed to be from Chi
cago, and wounded another badly. The
tragedy included a running fight
through the streets, through which, the
men were pursued. The men are be-
lieyed to have operated recently in
Freeport, Galesburg and other Illinois
towns, making a speciality Of cracking
safes in building and loan associations.
On Jan. & the safe Of the Adams
County Building and Loan association
was blown open at the noon hour and
cash and securieits amounting to 500
600 taken. Saturday three men came
to the Moecker's hotel and registered
from Kansas City. The proprietor
recognized their hand writing as being
the same as that of the men who came
here Jan 5, and who afterward We're
SUSPECTED as crooks. He warned the
police, and when one went out he was
Swallowed by Detective George Koch.
The stranger acted strangely and the
officer finally appeared, showed his
star and asked the man to go to the
station and explain himself. The mar
drew a pistol and pointed 1t at Koch's
heart, but as he dis so Kock drew his
own and fired four shots. The man
fell dead at the fourth. This happened
at 8 o'clock on Saturday night. The
baggage OF the suspected men at the
hotel was examined and found to con
tain burglars tools and nitro-glycer-
inc When the other two men re-
turned TO the hotel at 2 o'clock Sun
day morning they learned of the death
Of their cOmrade and found the hotel
surrounded by officers. Then there was
n running fight through the hotel cor
ridors. One rushed into the street,
follow ed by Policeman George Ahern.
He turned to fire and as he did so he
was shot by the officer, dying in a few
minutes. The third man was struck
by Officer Charles Horst and sank to
the floor with a broken hip. He was
captured but refused to give any in
formation. The men were all well
dressed, wore diamonds and other
jewelry and bad plenty Of money.
Skeleton keys were found on all of
them. When the two men came here
on Jan. s they registered as Burt and
Crowley. Saturday Burt was recog-
nized as G. II. Rogers. The wounded
man refuses to give his name. The
men are believed to he three of the
best workers in the country.

AMNESTY TO REBELS.
Gen. Otis May Give FiIipinos Tirne
to Surrender.


Washington, Jan. .30.-Amnesty will
be granted to the Filipinos who are
willing to lay down their arms when
Gen. Otis decides the situation in the
Philippines will justify such action.
When this time arrives Gen. Otis viii
be authorized by President Mckinley
to issue a proclamation granting am
nesty to all inhabitants of the archi-
pelago who will lay down their arms
and return peacefully to their homes
within n reasonable time. That time
will be thirty or sixty days, and notice
will also be given the insurrectionists
who do not avail themselves of the
privilege offered by the president will
be regarded as outlaws and treated as
such whenever they are found.
Some time ago ii was determined by
the administration to wage a relent-
less war upon the the Filipinos and all
who resisted the authority Of the Unit
ed States In the Philippines. This is
done for the purpose of impressing
upon the rebels that the government
proposed TO be stern with them and
make them feel the heavy hand of
war.
Since that time Gen. Otis has report
ed he has practically broken the back
bone of the instruction and has prac-
tically driven the organized army OF
Aguinaldo from the field. With a few
more aggressive operations similar to
those of the last few weeks in South
ern L.uZon the insurgent army will
have lost all semblance of organization
and have dwindled into small bands of
unorganiZed men. who will endeavor
to keep beyond the reach Of the mill
tary authorities and support them
selves by predatory raids on small and
unprotected communities.
The Filipino government has long
since ceased TO exist. and while here
and there the insurgents show some
signs of life. they are practically beat
en- and discouraged. The good inten-
tons Of this government in being leni-
ent with the Filipinos has been mis-
taken for cowardice, and the promise
of amnesty which viii soon be offered
will be coupled with .hreats of punish
ment 10 those who refuse to lay down
their arms.

A soAPLEss COUNTRY.
People OF India Use Only an Ounce
Each Year.

In spite of British rule. India is vir.
tually a soapless country. Through
out the villages of Hindustan soap is,
indeed, regarded as a natural curios-
ity, and it is rarely, If ever, kept in
stock by the native sh~opkeeper. In
the towns it is now sold, to a certain
extent, but how small this is may be
gathered from the fact hat the year
ly consumption of soap in India is
about 100, 600 hundred weight; that is
b say, every $500 persons uses on an
average only 112 pounds Of SOAP
among them; or, in other words, con-
siderahly less than an ounce is the av-
erage consumption of a person.
