HELPED THE CHIEF.
How a Loyal Engineer Did His Broth
err Great Service.

Meadwille. Pa, Nov. 90. 1900.-(Spe-
cial.)-The Loyalty of the Members of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers is proverbial. A circumstance
occurred in this city some days ago.
which emphasizes this feeling
Frank D. Zeller is Chief of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
No. l43. He is extremely popular
among his fellow railway men. and
one of the best known Engineers run
ming out of MeadwiIle. When the an
nouncement was made a short time
ago that Frank was pretty sick, it
caused a great deal of regret among
the boys. Soon he was missed from
his engine, having had to lay off,
on account OF his back. A brother of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers, who had been i'll with similar
symptoms, some time before, and who
had been pmlled Through, called to see
Mr.. Zeller, and in a brOtherly way,
took with him box of Dodd's Kidney
Pills, the Remedy which had cured
him. He advised Mr.. Zeller to try
them, with the result that after seven
boxes had been used, he was entirely
well, and able to work.
In an interview Mr.. Ze1ler states:
81 had suffered for four years with
this affection. being often kept awake
:at night with pains, and at times I'M
able to work. I tried several of the
remedies, and found that
they did me no earthly good. Finally.
a member of our Order, who had been
cured of Kidney Disease by Dodd's
Kidney Pills brought me a box. and
asked me to try them. I had little
faith in them, but as a drowning man
grasps at straw to help him, so I
took the Pills. I used seven boxes.
and am to-day as we'll and strong q
man as there is in Pennsylvania
Naturally, Mr.. ZeIler feels very
grateful, and his complete recovery
has delighted his many friends, and
none more than the good Brother.
who feels that he was instrumental
in saving the life of the Chief.
Dodd's Kidney Pills never fail to
cure Kidney Trouble
Sold for so cents a box. all dealers.

CAPT. SHIELDS, Fight.
The Stand Made by the Men OF the Twenty.
Ninth Infantry Against an OverwheIm-
ing Force a Brilliant Episode.

Washington, Nov. 24.-Mail advices
from Manila give in considerable de-
tail the story of the rescue of Capt.
Shields and so men of the Twenty
ninth infantry after their capture by
the insurgents in Martinique. The
fight that Capt. Shields and his party
put up against an overwhelming force
is declared to have been one of the
most brilliant incidents in the history
of bush fighting in the archipelago.
The so men in question were pursuing
a party of insurgents of superior force
into the mountains when they were
ambushed in a box canyon by force
of $50 rifiemen and 1880 bolomen.
They made a continuous fight for
eight hours, killing a large number of
insurgents, and were overpOwered only
after they had fired their last shot
and practically were smothered in a
hand-tO-hand fight with their 1000
adversaries. Sergts. Williams and Nc
Carthy, who were in charge of some
OF the wounded, come in for particu-
lar praise. They were cut off from the
rest of the party during the retreat
| and intrenched themselves on the
| hillside where they stood off their as
sai1ants for about three hours, sur
rendering after every cartridge had
been exhausted. Scarcely a man in
| the expedition escaped being grazed
OF slightly wounded during the fight.
! The total list of killed amounted to
only five Capt. Shields was wounded
early in the fight, but continued to
direct the operations of the rear guard
during four miles of retreat He
/ finally was knocked oa1t by a bullet
| through the jaw, neck and shoulder,
which was thought at the time to be
! fatal wound. The rescue of the
party was effected by Gen Hare, who
some months before, when only a col
Onel, led the party which effected the
| rescue of Lieut.. Gilmore and the men
! from the Yorktown, after their long
months OF captivity in northern Luz
ION. Capt Shields and his men say
that they have no complaint to make
of their treatment during captivity.

Manila, Nov. 26.-Foalr natives will

sentences upon natives.

MAY ENLIST FILIPINos.
War Department. Preparing to Fight Ma
Would Have Expanding army.

Washington, Nov. 26.-Following is
the tentative scheme of army reor-
ganization: The marine corps, Sec
rotary Long insists, shall be expanded
from about 5000 to 10000 and the
latest proposition is to enlist $4,000
Filipino natives. The plan to utilize
theInative Filipinos has been hit upon
/ in oorder, if possible, to relieve the
pressure for American troops in the
Philippines. The president has also,
lit is said, received information re
garding the operation of the army ia
the Philippines which demonstrates
the fact that the American soldier
+ is handicapped by the weight of his
equipment and ammunition. which
makes it impossible for such troops
to chase bands of half-ual1ed natives,
acquainted with the country and i'm
mune from tropical fevers.
Army officers insist that the only
proper way to fight the native is by
putting natives against natives. With
Filipino force of this magnitude
it is also thought the president can
retain at home a larger part of the
regulars to man the garrisons and in
crease the service at the various coast
defense stations. It is declared there
are not enough artillerymen, and, as
a consequence, the artillery and other
material are fast falling into decay.
Chairman Hull talks about an "accor-
dion army" which can be minimized
to. 5000 or expanded to 100000, at the
pleasure of the president. The dem
ocrats will oppose this on the ground
that the proposition is ''blind" and
has for it's chief purpose the fixing
of minimum of standard never be-
fore dreamed of.
