AT AWFUL COST.
Filipino Resistance to the United States Has
Resulted In tho Killing OF Probably
$4,000 Natives.

Washington, April 1O.-Rebellion
against American authority has been
o costly experience for the natives Of
the Philippines. Fifty thousand is the
lowest estimate of the war depart
ment of the casualties sustained by
the Filipino forces, 1867 rifles have
been captured or surrendered and
605,142 rounds of ammunition, as
shown by incomplete returns, have
been seized. The number of Filipinos
killed cannot he accurately deter
mined, as Gen. Macarthur in his dis
patches states that it is impossible
to be accurate on this point. 1t
would not surprise officials should
the Filipino fatalities reach $4,000,
and some say that $4,000 is closer to
the real figure. Adjt. Gen. Corbin is
satisfied that the casualties suffered
by the Filipinos will in themselves
form potent reason for the aban-
donment of further resistance by the
natives.

Devils Who Help to Shorten Human

narcotics. DIR. Sperry said that it

to do with the devils. Why shouldn't
he live to prove his theory? A dem
onstration is what is needed.

TELEPHONE WIRE SAVES LIFE
Animal Leaps Into Street From Inter
Mountain Art Department and
Escapes Without Serious
Injury.

There was almost a tragedy at the
Inter Mountain Office this afternoon, in
which a brown spaniel dog played the
leading part.
The animal wandered into the building,
and after inspecting the editorial and
composing rooms went up to the third
floor, where he seemed greatly interest
ed In the art department.
While he was in the art department
the power was turned onto the big light
used in photographic. With a howl of
dismay. when the light fell upon him, the
dog made dash for the window, in an
endeavor TO get away.
One of the men in the room endeavored
to seize the animal, fearing he would be
killed by the fall to the pavement below,
but the dog struggled, scratched and bit.
and finally succeeded in getting out of
the window.
He remained poised on the ledge for a
moment, and then sprang out. In his
fan he struck telephone wire, which
turned him over and over, and probably
saved his life by breaking the force of his
fall.
In his fall the dog struck a pedestrian
on the shoulder, knocking him down, and
the animal then dropped to the sidewalk.
He lay upon the pavement for mo-
ment, then slowly arose. looked around
him, and limped across the street to fol-
low man away few minutes later.

New York, Dec. 6.-Prices of stocks
showed narrow changes at the opening
with no definite tendency apparent. Some
OF rhe leading railroads and sugar made
slight progress upward after the open
ing. but the general tone became heavy
when the operators attacked various
stocks simultaneously. St. Paul, New
York Central, the fractions, Pennsyl
vana, Sugar, Amalgamated Copper

and Missouri Pacific yielded l and 2
points.
General electric got up 5A, to 289A be-
fore realizing. and lowered to 287. Lead
preferred, lost "a. Dealings were not
large. but the prospects for an unfavor-
able bank statement discouraged long
buying and stimulated realizing and
short selling.
All of the stocks which figured con-
splcuously in the early selling extended
their losses, in some cases a point or
more, particularly in New York Central,
ST. Paul and Manhattan.
The lack of support of the recent spec
uiative favorites, encouraged the bears
to attack other stocks Atchison, Great
Northern. preferred, Pacific Coast
Texas Pacific and many others declined
from l to 2 points. There We're some
spasmodic rallies before midday on
buying by the shorts. but the specula-
ton continued rather feverish and un-
settled.
Bonds were easier. Prices dipped again
during the noon hour, many active
stocks going lower than before and new
points of weakness developing.
The saock market became dull and
steadier again.
The market ruled rather sluggish and
barely steady at the rally. which ran to a
point in Manhattan, Metropolitan and
Missouri Pacific. General Electric again
gave way points.
The bears made a final drive against
Manhattan, which forced it down to
1854; Metropolitan lost 3la. Otherwise
only few stocks fell a shade lower than
before. In the final dealings Amalga-
mated Copper suddenly gave way to 697s,
