Twenty.two Hundred Filipino BOlomen
Swear Allegiance to United States.
MANILA, Dec. 4.-Sunday in Vigan
was great day for the American
cause. Twenty-Five hundred natives
of the region, nearly all fighting rebels,
crowded the church and took the oath
of allegiance to the United States. The
oath was administered by tho priest.
All but 500 of those sworn were bolo.

dered.
The proceedings in the church occu.
pied the entire day, and included an
address by General Young and an
exhortation by the priest. Scarcely
any rebels remain in the vicinity of
Santa Maria. General Young attrib-
utes this fact to three causes-the re-
election of President Mckinley, the ar
rival of a stronger body of troops, and
the especially rigid enforcement of war
measures and the deportation of pris-
oners to Manila. He reports that it is
necessary to occupy all the barracks in
order to protect the natives from the
vengeance Of Tagalog raiders.

csso also included the question of the

For Purposes of Taxation,
still retaining the per cent tax on
gross earnings. The effect of the opin.
ion is to hold the law of 1895 invalid.
In passing upon the case the court held
that the state had been admitted to the
sisterhootl of states under tho usual
compact and that as long us the title Of
its lands remains in the United States,
those lands are exempt from taxation.
So far as the land involved in this case
is concerned, it was stated that it had
been granted to the state by congress
and by the state to the st. Paul and
Duluth company. Soon afterwards,
the justice continued, the state had
enacted legislation providing that rail.
roads in tho state should pay per cent
on their gross earnings in lieu of oil
other taxes upon their property. The
opinion by Justice Brewer sustained
the view that tho original legislation
was in the nature of contract which
was binding and which could not be
invalidated by the act of 1895, seeking
to repeal it. This latter act, therefore,
was pronounced repugnant to the fed.
Constitution and void in this respect.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The report of
the Isthmian canal commission, just
submitted to congress, gives as the
unanimous conclusion Of that body
that "the most practical and feasible
route for an Isthmian canal under the
control, management and ownership of
the United States. is that known as the
Nicaragua route"
The commission estimates the cost of
this route at 5000, ,54O, 900. This esti.
mate is much in excess of any hereto.

mensions and other features not here.

also estimates the cost of canal by the
Panama route at $l42, ,342, $40, accord

states also that under the concession
given by the government of Colombia
to the Panama Canal company, that
government is not free to grant the
necessary rights to the United States,
except upon conditions made by the
company. Tho report is document
of about 1900 words, almost as long
as the presidents message. Although
the work OF tho commission is Lot yet
completed, many of the field parties
still being out, yet it has been suffi-
GENTLY advanced to make it practicable
to present this preliminary report CIV
ing the essential findings.
The commission says eight years
would probably be n reasonable esti-
mate for the time of building the canal.
At least two years will be consumed in
preparatory work and opening harbor
at Greytown, SO that if work on the
dam should be commenced Immediately
thereafter, the time required for com.
pleting the entire work will be about
10 years.

munique says:
"Mr. Kruger's visit is not agreeable
to Germany, his long aim being to
obtain Intervention in South Africa.
1t would be grave political mistake,
it would be even great crime to allow
him to entertain even a spark of hope
that Germany will ever render him any
practical support"
This declaration is accompanied with
reproaches. Mr.. Kruger being charged
with 'having encouraged useless
guerilla warfare and having dis.
regarded Germany's advice when he
might have still followed it,
The press generally strikes this note.

NO MAN Is STRONGER
Than HIS STOMACH.

The stomach is the vital center of the
body. 1t is the organ from which all
other organs are fed. A weak stomach
means weak man. There never was
strong man with a weak stomach. What
is called "weak stomach" is in general a
diseased condition of the stomach and
other organs of digestion and nutrition,
which prevents the proper digestion of
the food which is taken into the stom-
acL, and so reduces the nutrition of the
body. When all food is taken away the
body starves. When the food eaten is
only digested and assinilated in part it
only nourislles the body in part, and so
the body is partly starved. And this
starvation is felt in every organ of the
body dependent on the blood which is
made from food.
The great variety of the cures per-
formed by DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery is due to its remarkable
power to heal diseases of the stomach
and allied organs. 1t cures through the
stomach diseases seemingly remote, but
which have their origin in a diseased
condition of the stomach and the other
organs of digestion and nutrition.
vWeak" heart, lungs, kidneys and weak
ness of other organs is cured with the
cure of the weak stomach.
Mr.. Thomas A. Swarts, Box 1903, Subs Station
c., Columbus, Ohio, writes: III was taken very
sick with severe headache, then cramps in the
stomach, and food would not digest then kidney
and liver trouble, and my back got weak so
could scarcely get around. The more doctored
the worse got until six years passed. I had be-
come so poorly could only walk in the house
by the aid of a chair, and got so thin had

Made It's Own Funeral Toilet,

Made It's Own Funeral Toilet.
There are certain insects that have
such a respect for Mrs. Grundy and
are endowed with such an innate love
of neatness and order that not even
death, or rather dccapitation, can pre-
vent them from making one grand
final toilet, which is clearly designed
to give them sedate and respectable
appearance after death.
DR.. Ballion, skilled entomologist,
discovered this remarkable fact. Our
ing one of my recent horseback rides"
he says, II frequently caught one Of
those large flies which annoy cattle
and horses so much, and l promptly
got rid Of it by crushing it's head.
One day, instead Of throwing the mu-
tilated insect away, placed it on the
back of my hand and indolently watch
ed it. For some seconds the insect re-
mained motionless, but then, to my
unbounded surprise, 1t moved its front
legs forward to the place where the
head should have been, and, after it
had rubbed them nervously together,
apparently in anguish, it began to
brush it's body and to smooth it's wings
with its hind legs. Under the gentle
pressure of these limbs the body grad
ually became extended and the ex-
tremity curved, while the wings grad
uallY changed their natural position
and left the upper part of the body
exposed. Meanwhile the hind legs
continued to brush each other from
time to time.
Naturally l watched this extra
ordinary sight with great interest and,
in order to see. the finale, took the
insect into my study, where it lived
an entire day, spending the time ut
the ungrateful task of making its own
funeral toilet"
