Rockbridge, Mo-, June 24th.-The
neighborhood, and particularly the
members Of Rockbridge Lodge, No
a4s5, "A. r. & NJ, are feeling very
much pleased over the recovery of Mr..
Ambrose Mckay. q prominent citizen
and an honored member Of the Mason.
1csFraternity.
MI. Mckay had been suffering fol
years with diabetes and Rheumatism,
which recently threatened to end his
days. His limbs were 80 filled with
pain that he could Q sleep. He wal
very bad. 4
Just then someone suggested a new
femedy-Dodd's Kidney Pills-which
have been much advertised recently, as
. cure for Bright's Disease, Diabetes.
Dropsy, Rheumatism and Kidney
Trouble.
After Mr.. Mckay had used a few box
e he commenced to improve. His pain
MI left him, and he Is almost az well az
ever. He says Dodd's Kidney Pills are
worth much more than they cost. They
are certainly getting q great reputa-
tion in Missouri, and many very start.
hing cures are being reported.

RouoH RIDER AND HIS VIEWS.

Capt. Dame coDpaees Cnps biileaes Of
Cubans ana 4Eliplass.
Good tobacco is grown ali over
Luzon,n said Capt. w. 3. Dame Of
Santa Fe, N. NJ, who has lately been:
mustered out as q commanding omcM
Of a company in the Thirty-fourth In
fantry, and who was promoted from
second lieutenant to first lieutenant Of
Rough Riders ON the field Of battle by
Col. Roosevelt, in q recent conversa-
ton. ..The best tobacco, however, u
grown in the Cacaygan valley. q broad
and fertile stretch Of country toward
the northern portion Of the island. The
Cacaygan river overflows Its banks M
nuallv. much like the River Nile, and
leaves q rich sediment all the way
from six inches to one foot in depth.
When the river subsidies all the. farm
ers have to do is to pillow up the de-
post and plant their seed. The coun-
try is still sparsely settled, but some
day will undoubtedly be opened up by
the construction Of a railroad. Now
the tobacco has to be shipped down the
Cacaygan river to q town at its mouth
named APART. / have Travelled nearly
all over the world and come in contact
with about every kind Of people. but
nowhere have I found people who dis
liked work as heartily as do the Gu
bans. They are pretty, nearly in the
lowest scale. The Nlipinos are q far
better class and IL the Cubans are At
for self government I am sure the
Filipinos are. The latter are more do
Gle and Industrious, and while they
are sometimes treacherous, they are to
be trusted far more than the Cubans.
For men with small capital and small
talents the Philippines offer the best
opportunities I know Of anywhere.
Companies formed over there two
years ago have doubled their capital
annually. The United States land laws
ought to be extended to the Philip
pines. It would result in an imme-
date and extensive development and
make the islands blossom with pros
perity.' 4s
Capt. Dame was formerly a member
OF the territorial legislature in New
Mexico.

Macabebes in Northern Luxon Are Made
OF Good Stun.
Persons in search of adventure still
find it in the Philippines, judging by
the contents Of the Mail Items" Of the
Army and Navy Journal. The kind of
fighting stuff the Macabebes are made
Of was shown in a recent engagement.
Late in March Troops A and G, Fourth
Cavalry, and the Macabebe Scouts went
after General Lacuna, in the Balac
Mountains, in North Central Luzon.
With Lacuna were the renegades Fa-
gan and Nelson, and the prospects OF
squaring accounts with those two
traitors gave q peculiar zest to the
cavalrymen's pursuit. Seven miles be-
fore they got to close quarters they
had to dismount and creep up the steep
hills, dragging their supplies along,
until they, finally came to a ravine
surrounded by steep hills, which ena-
bled the enemy to pour a whitening fire
from three sides at our men, without
the latter being able to get any posi-
ton where they could successfully
stand OF the enemy. Our men stood
their ground for about four hours, and
then the enemy withdrew. Casualties
on our side: Three killed. eleven
wounded and two missing. Only two
Of the Fourth Cavalry were among the
wounded, the rest being Macabebes.
During the conflict the renegade Nell.
son was heard distinctly calling:
Troop A men. come on; come on
here" One of the Macabebes, who
had the bridge Of his nose shot away
and the eyeball hanging on his cheek,
coolly tore out the eye and continued
the fight. When taken into the hos
pital he insisted upon having his rife
and belt brought to him, as he did not
care to lose them.

whether indeed it is quite honest, to
waste their ammunition by firing il
into the air. In other states it has
been found that corrupt political
ring may be broken up only by a
union of the forces of opposition.
Time after time the anti Quay Re-
publicans of this state have dissipat-
ed their strength in vain side-party
movements that came absolutely to
nothing. So far from any real pro-
gress having been made during the
last 10 years the situation has grown
steadily worse. The legislature that
is now closing its record of scandal
and debauchery aud broken pledges
and defiant immortality is the very
worst legislature that the state has
ever had, And never has the state
administration been so utterly and
so candidly defiant ofpublic opinion
and ordinary decency as the one
which was made by vote unwisely
cast for DR.. Swallow instead of
George A. jerks.
Let there be no mistake of this
kind hereafter. Things will go
from bad to worse until the Quay
machine has peen completely over
thrown, And the Quay machine
can be overthrown only by united
opposition .-Johnstown Demoerak

Duties Of Oonstables.

The Office of constable is one Of
great antiquity and extensive DOW
ers. The peace and safety Of the
community are committed to MIN.
Every man, woman and child in
the district is, or should be inter
ested in the election of an honest,
active and conscientious constable.
He is required periodically to re-
port to Court any violations of the
law in his jurisdiction. He is
specially asked as to the condition
of the roads and bridges, as to the
places where liquor is sold, the
names of proprietors and whether
such places are or not licensed. He
is also questioned as to persons
manufacturing olemargarine, as to
forest fires, etc.
The Office is not a mere perfume
tory one ; he is not to sit still until
by accident crime comes stalking
past. He must keep the peace and
is bound to present to the Court all
offenses inquirable in the Court.
An officer who has high regard
for his position will give his atten-
tion to offenses against the commun-
ity at large, as we'll as against indi-
viduals, and he will direct his ac-
ton to the suppression Of evils con.
cerning the public particularly
those. multiplied and flagrant vices
tending to debauch and corrupt the
pablo morals.
1t is the duty of the individual
citizen to call the attention of the
constable to violations of the law
and to give him the names of wit.
nesses who can prove the facts as,
serted. If this is done and the con-
stable does not make his return to
court accordingly, then he can be
called to account for neglect of duty.
Many constables probably una
ware of their duties, conhne their
Investigations to very narrow limits.
Many Of them do not appreciate the
fact that it is their duty to inquire
into the existence of public evils and
to make return thereof to court.
If the constables and citizens
would honestly work together to
bring to the attention of the Court
and District Attorney violations of
law, the public good would be better
subserved and many of the petty
crimes occupying the attention of
he court should be avoided. The
)ficers of the law should be held to
strict accountability, but at the same
.ime the citizens should do their
oartt. -sReOiezo.

The 0rangeville Borough High School.
Pupils will be Prepared to Enter the Senior
Glass OF the Normal.

The school building is to undergo
some changes in order to make room
for an additional school to be known as
High School.
Pupils are to be advanced in studies
preparatory to entering Senior class at
the State Normal, thus saving the
cost of board in attendance at said
Normal for years. While the tax
rate is higher to maintain this higher
grade OF school, yet when a patron
figures the extra tax, compared to the
expense of two years at school from
home, he will find it would require
something like $50 years to pay the
extra tax.
Our school building, situated as it
is, at a high elevation, it is very de-
slrable place, being very heathful
location; receiving the morning suns
rays, and shaded by beautiful maple
grove in the heated part of the day.
We cordially invite the patronage
of out side districts, and promise a full
return for their money, in that the
teachers employed are all of expert
ence and tried. The costs of tuition
in the different departments will be
from $I.oo to ST.. 50 per month. This
is very good chance for nearby pupils
to acquire knowledge at very small
cost. School term of 8 months, be-
gins September 9, 1901.

A Slick Individual.

A slick individual operated on
Market Square Monday evening. He
advertised himself as the Cuban Agent
and sold what he called Cuban silver
ware. He attracted large audience
by means of bugle, and won their
attention by stating that he would
give them an entertainment equal to
any fifty cent performance that any of
them had ever witnessed. The magi-
clan Herman was to be discounted,
and the worlds shooting experts, DR..
Carver, Cheolier and Buffalo Bill! were
to be made to look like thirty cents.
A small boy whom he had picked up
from the audience was to be his as
sistant in the illusions, and a large
pistol, which he fourished, swinging It
around on the index finger of his right
hand was to be used in demonstrating
his ability as marksman. He said
he was en- honest man, was out for
advertising purposes and not tor profit.
But before going any further he want
ed to call the attention of his auditors
to the line of goo is which he was ad-
vertising. He then brought out a lot
Of spoons, manufactured from metal
known as Cuban silver, superior SO far
as wearing qualities were concerned
he said, to sterling He passed out a
few packages, gratuitously, as a bait,
and people almost fell over one an
other in their desire to bite. He
borrowed lead pencil from a fellow
in front of the wagon, handed him
quarter of dollar for 1t, and then be-
gan the sale of spoons. Several sets
were sold for IS cents and the money
returned to the purchasers. The price
was then advanced to SO cents a set.
He reached down in his pocket and
pulling out good sized roll of long
green, all of the ST. denomination
wrapped it around his finger. Every
set that he sold for SO cents he would
mark with his initial, and at the same
time would wrap 50 cent piece in a
dollar bill and lay it in a box in front
of him with the remark "you'll not be
sorry you bought"
Goaded on by promises of reim-
bursement in the way of presents, and
thinking that the money which he de-
posted in the box in front of him, was
what they would receive, the easy ones
handed over their hard earned coin.
The writer made no attempt to keep
tab on the exact number OF sales, but
he must have realized about twelve or
fifteen dollars. When he had caught
all the suckers that showed any incli-
nation to bite, he gave each buyer
little souvenir spoon and left.
The next morning our attention
was called to some spoons, the same
material, on exhibition in local deal
er's window for 10 cents a set. Now
they feel like kicking themselves. But
they deserve Just what they got, "What
fools these mortals be-"
Such swindlers ought not to be
permitted to operate here. This fel-
low was clearly working a game, and
even II he was square in his dealing,
he ought to have been stopped for his
open and loud-mouthed profanity in
the hearing of women and children.
