Manila. Nov. 25.-Captain Edward p.
Lawton's company of the Nineteenth
Infantry has attacked and captured an
insurgent fort on Bohol Island, south
of Cebu, in the Visayan group. This
fort was surrounded on all sides by
precipice, and the only entrance to
the higher ground was guarded by q
stockade with line of entrenchments
behind it. Captain Lawton sent Ser
geant Mcmahon and 20 men to climb
the precipice and attack the fort in
the rear. Sergeant McMahon's party
accomplished their task after three
hours climbing through the thick un-
dergrowth of brush and vines that COW
cred the almost perpendicular cliff.
They took the enemy by surprise and
drove them from the fort. AS the in
surgents escaped they had to pass the
remainder Of Captain Lawton's COM
pany at distance of $50 yards. Here
the enemy suffered terrible losses.
The insurgents defended themselves
with both cannon and rifles. The can
non were captured, the smaller ones
were removed. while the larger ones
were buried. Captain Lawton, in his
report, makes special mention for
bravery of Sergeants List and Nc.
Mahon.

raised as to quality or weight.
Benson's Porous Plaster sells on its repu-

really is Benson's, and not worthless imi-

THE RENEWAL A STRAIN.

Vacation is over. Again the school
bell rings at morning and at noon,
again with tens of thousands the hard

ago had roses on her cheeks, and the
little boy whose lips were then so red
you would have insisted that they had
been "kissed by Strawberries" have
already lost something of the appear
ance of health Now is time when
many children should be given tonic,
which may avert much serious trouble,

Career of Mr.. Roosevelt.
His Remarkable Rise to Highest
Office In the Gift Of the
Nation.

A little more than twenty-one years
ago Theodore Roosevelt. author,
Rough Rider, governor of New York,
and now President of the United States
of America, went out from the college
halls at Harvard. With an intense
zeal for public service, he almost i'm
mediately secured an election to the
general assembly of his native State,
although but three years past his ma
jority. In that span of two decades
he has compassed quite everything to
which political ambition can aspire.
Without previous military training
worth the mention, he has become the
great popular hero of a glorious war.
Ever in the thick Of party turmoil,
provoking the antagonism of leaders
whose antagonism would be fatal to
most careers, he has reached the pin
nacle of party achievement and wields
the powerful influence of Chief Magis-
trate. In that regard he is the junior
OF all of long line of mighty men.
There is not a parallel in American
annals.
President Roosevelt will be no
stranger to the National Capital.
Nearly half of his official career has
been passed here, where he is even
better known, perhaps, than to the
people of the Empire State. His won
derful energy, capability of turning
out a vast amount of work, vigorous
methods Of undertaking public duties,
his charming fellowship, terse express
sions, and capacity for making cordial
friendships are qualities that we're
demonstrated here while he served for
six years as chairman of the Civil
Service Commission, and later when
he was for over a year Assistant Sccre-
tary of the Navy during President
Mckinley's first administration.
TRIUMPHANT RETURN AS VICE PRESIDENT.
Last March he returned again to
Washington after most triumphan.
candidacy for second place on the Re-
publican national ticket and was in
augurated as Vice President. For a
few weeks during the brief extraordi-
nary session of the Senate he excr-
cised his constitutional duties as the
presiding officer Of that body. His
official conduct during that brief period
endeared him even more than ever to
his friends and admirers throughout
the nation.
Although he is now hardly forty
four years old, having been born at %
East Twentieth street, New York City,
October 27, 1858, President Roosevelt
has enjoyed the distinction of being in
one phase or another something Of a
national character for wellnigh third
OF that tine. He has always had
propensity for being storm center in
whatever field Of activity he entered.
Although he.was puny child, under
the careful tutorship Of his father, also
named Theodore, banker and glass
importer, he grew to possess vigor-
Gus body and an equally vigorous
mind. AS soon as he entered Harvard
College, where he graduated in 1880,
his determined qualities asserted them
selves and he was known as student
of decided opinions and Of originality.
President Roosevelt has held wide
variety of offices, which should furnish
him with good equipment for the
great office he now holds by virtue Of

WE REAP WHAT WE SOW.

There are loyal hearts and spirits brave.
With souls that are tried and true;
Then give to the world the best you have,
And the same will come back to you.
Give love, and back to your heart will flow
The love that your heart most needs;
Show faith and trust, and hearts will show
Their faith in your words and deeds.
For life Is q mirror in which are shown
The deeds and lives we live;
Then give of our best to every one,
And The world will as freely give.

And oh! the breath Of the lilies was sweet;
But sweeter the breath Of the meadow grass
That trembles beneath your feet.

Where the songs OF the nightingales roll;
But sweeter to me is the tender voice
That echoes your love to my soul.

Where million suns set and rise;
But brighter to me than the suns warm glow
Is the light in your beautiful eyes.

HIS RECENT TRIP WEST.

Since the adjournment of Congress
COL Roosevelt had not followed in the
course of most Vice Presidents and
dropped out of the public eye. 1t has
been apparent that he had not ceased
to aspire to the Presidency, notwith-
standing the traditions Of the republic
that Vice President can never hope
to secure the nomination for President.
His Western trip, which began few
weeks ago, proved marked personal
triumph and made it palmer than
ever he would be strong factor to

Livingston, October 30.-(Special9-The case against the Scott boys, charged with the killing of R. H. Seymour, was called for trial Monday, and the jury was completed yesterday nt noon. After the state had examined a number of wit nesses the solicitor announced that John Dial, a witness tor the state, was af- f1icted with a spinal disease, which at- tackled him snddeny and rendered him unable to either walk or be carried up the steps of the courthouse sor txamina- ton as witness, ana asked that the court adjourn to the sherifs's office un- derneath the cou-t rom, and in the same building, with the jury and the attor- neys, and there exaEilne the witness. The court granted tn's m otion against the protest and objections of the defendants attorneys.
 There are a great many witnesses sum- moned for the sSate ani for the defen- dants, and the casa will probably crn- tinue throughout the week.
 This case attracts more attention and more interest than any case that has ever been tried .n this 20 Irty.

BAY ANNETTE.
Dedication Exercises Are Held at the
 New Court House.

Bay Minette, October 30-(SpeciaL)- The dedication exercises at the new court house were held Tuesday afternoon. An audience of about 700 people were assem- bled in the court room, and about half a dozen speakers were listened to for two hours after which a committee was ap- pointed to escort Judge Anderson to his seat. The grand and petit juries were soon organized and court is being held in the finest building in the county.
 A very entertaining part of the dedica- ton exercises was when J. D. Hand, chairman of the building committee, and master of ceremonies, introduced Hon, J. H. Webb of Mobile to speak on "the sur render of Daphne" This speech was one of the best, and was made the more interesting on account of Mr. Webb being one of the attorneys employed by the anti-removalists.
 At 7:30 last night the court room was packed with citizens to hear speaking on the ratification of the new constitution. The speakers were introduced by J. M. Armstrong, county tax commissioner. Hon. Judge William S. Anderson was the first speaker and spoke for twenty-five minutes. Hon. J. H. Webb spoke for an hour and ten minutes. Hon. Samuel Brown was next introduced and was fol- lowed by Hon. J. N. Miller There were about two hundred ladies in the audience.

MORTGAGE FILED
 FOR Sl,60O,OOO New Railroad from Florence to

 Facilities.
A RICH BROWN ORE FIELD

Florence, October 30.-(5pecial) )-The Knickerboclker Trust Company of New York City today filed for record mort gage for one million six hundred thou sand dollars to secure bonds for the build ing of the Alabama and Tennessee River Railway Company on the line projected from Florence to Clifton, Tenn. dis tance of eighty miles.
 The mortgage Is a voluminous docu- ment. containing fourteen thousand words. J. L. Bell of New York City Is president and George A. Sykes is treas urer. The road was promoted by George L. Johnson of Waynesboro, Tenn, and J. L. Bell, who have been working on the project several years. The railroad will run through one of the richest brown ore fields in the country, and will tap rich farming and timber section heretofore inaccessible on account of lack of railroad facilities, It is thought that the new road has some important connection with the Northwestern Rail- road, as the Illinois Central and other roads have been trying to get into this section of Alabama for years on account of the iron industry.
