UNKNOWN LAND TRAvERsED
American Captain Visits New Re-
GiOns in Island of
MindanaO.

MANILA, Nov. S0.-Captain Pershing,
with sixty men. has completed a march
across the island OF Mindanao from Camp
Wears to Iligan. This is possibly the
first time that white men have made the
journey.
Captain Pershing visited the villages Of
Madaya and Marahui. On his way to
Madaya he found the Moros surprised TO
learn that Americans were rot monsters
ten feet tall, with horns and tails. At
Marahui he addressed 500 Moros, telling
them OF the friendly purposes Of the Amer
leans. Representatives Of the Dato and
Bocayutan tribes, which are now at war,
asked Captain Pershing to arbitrate. He
agreed to visit them and give his arbitra-
tion on his return journey to Camp Wears.
No hostility was shown toward the column
on the march.
The constabulary in the Zambales prov
ince report a repulsive incident OF cruelty
perpetrated by ladrones. Several columns
of constabulary had been chasing them
with the assistance of friendly natives.
Five Of the friendlies struggled from the
column and were captured by ladrones,
who amputated the tongue and gouged out
the eyes of one friendly and then sent him
back to the c~onstabulsry. The fate Of the
others is unknown.

EDIsoN's GREAT INVENTION
A Thorough and Effective Disease and
Germ Destroyer.

NEW YORK, Nov. 30.-The announcement
a few weeks ago that Thomas A. Edison, tr.,
had discovered a new curative force which
he embodied in his latest invention, the
Magno- Electric VitaliZer, startled the whole
world. Hundreds of people have written
from all quarters Of the globe for a detailed
description OF the invention. No single in
vention OF the past two hundred years has
done so much for suffering humanity as the
Edison, jr., Magno- Electric Vitalizer. No
other invention has received such absolute
proof Of its extraordinary properties in cur
ing consumption, rheumatism, restoring
shattered constitutions, and in giving back
new life and energy to the prematurely
aged.
The one absorbing question Of the hour is:
What is the Magno-E Electric Vitalizer?
What does 1t absolutely accomplish? Hun
dreds OF instances can be cited in which the
wearing of the Magno- Electric Vitallzer
has resulted in incalculable benefit to the
wearer in even the short period OF one
week.
Medical men in New York and in all of
the large Eastern cities have examined the
new discovery and pronounced 1t one of the
greatest Blooms Of the age-the ounce OF
cure for which the patient world has been
waiting in the universal hospital.
Edison, jrr, is not alone in believing that
II 1t be possible to perfect the human race
1t is in electricity that the means must be
sought and found. He has used the same
talents in reducing this epoch-making in
vention to a practical working basis as were
used in Harvesting and driving the lightning
and collateral forces that play such an inn
portant role on the stage Of modern prog
ress and activity.
The Magno-Electric Vitalizer Is being
placed on the market by Mr.. Edison's own
company, the Thomas A. Edison, jr., Chem
zeal Co., 4 Stone ST., New York.
Mr.. Edison was seen In his laboratory
yesterday. He said: 81 am personally SUI

iEer. as we'll as attending to the correspon-
denee relating to 1t. because l wish every
body to ave an equal opportunity to secure

favorites; anyone with a two-cent postage
stamp can write to the Thomas A. Edison,

Vitalizer Is and what It will do for him"

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 3O.-The December

and continue the investigation of municipal
corruption.
The full revelation Of the nature and ex-
tent of "boodling'' in st. Louis, according
to the circuit attorney, is not yet finished
and he states that he means to push 1t to
completion.
The Intervention of the statute of limita-
lions in the lighting bill case, and the
fact that further indictments have been
made in connection with this measure, have
awakened discussion over the exceptions
to this statute and the possibility Of fur
Their prosecutions.
It is the opinion Of lawyers that IL an
information has been filed or IN indict-
ment found against the alleged bribe-
givers the trial will amount to a test Of
the statute. The circuit attorney refuses
to discuss the exceptions.
