.FILIPINOS' BULLETS
PREVENT BAND
FROM PLAYING
EVERY INSTRUMENT OF THE SIX
TENTH REGIMENT BAND
SHOT FULL OF HOLES
BY INsURREcTos.

Why don't the band play at Fort Nc
Pherson?
Because the instruments were shot fun
of holes by the Filipinos, and are now be-
ing repaired.
1t is really said that the bass horn has
so many bullet holes in 1t that when the
rest of the band Is playing in the key of
G, the bass horn persists in playing in the
key of E-fiat. the same being an abomina-
ton to the bandmaster.
And not only the bass horn, but the
trombones, the comets, the alto horns and
a dozen other instruments were made tar
gets for the Filipino bullets. The Six
teenth regiment was in the thick of the
lighting, the band got all that was coming
to 1t.
The instruments are now, however. in
Philadelphia, being repaired, and viii be
returned to Atlanta next month, when a
series of concerts win probably be given
not only at the fort, but at Ponce de Leon
as well.

COM POUND
Is a Banisher of Disease and a
Restorer of Health.

A noted medical specialist-a physician
possessing ample wealth-ever ready to
acknowledge worth and merit, speaks of
Paine's Celery Compound, as follows:
I'm the summer time, when strength
fails, when that tired. listless feeling is
experienced from day to day. when the
digestive organs are not doing their work
properly, when constipation is poisoning
the blood when disease with iron hand
takes possession of the body, Paine s
Celery Compound will be found a marvel

restorer."
This strong statement should influence
all weak, rundown, and half sick men and
women during the hot August weather.
This remarkable indorsation of Paine s
Celery Compound by an acknowledged
specialist should at once convince the suf-
fering and diseased that DIR. Phelps
great medical discovery Is what they need
to restore perfect health. The thousands

GAINESVILLE
BANK CASES
REVIVED
DEPoSIT0RS WILL ENTER SUIT
AGAINST OFFlcIALS-JUDGE
VAN EPPS MAKES A STATE
MENT. a.. s.a1

GAINESVILLE, Ca, Aug. 0.-One
hundred or more depositors Of the two
defunct GAINESVILLE banks, the Barnes
vile Savings bank and the New South
bank. have held a meeting and formally
determined to push the prosecution OF the
bank officers who were indicted by the
spring term grand jury. To this end they
have agreed to employ additional counsel.
to assist the states attorney in the cases.
The officers who were indicted are a.
follows: For the GAINESVILLE Savings
bank w. 8. Mitham, of Atlanta, presl-
dent; Cashier H. p. Powell and Assistant
Cashier Robert Holmes. For the New
South bank, President ]. J. Rogers and
Cashier George E. Huguely.
The charges against the officers are that
they received money from depositors after
they knew the institutions had failed. The.
cases will come up at the October term.
of the Pike county court.
The alleged shortage in the Barnesv1ile
Saving bank is between forty and fifty
thousand dollars. No showing whatever,
is made of what was done with the money.
The New South banks books have never
been investigated, therefore no one knows
the exact deficit, but it is supposed to be
near $4,000.
Judge Howard Van Epps. who is the at
torney for Mr.. w. S. Witham when
asked about the matter stated that he
was in possession of all the facts and
that Mr.. Witham was wholly innocent or
any wrong whatever in the matter.
Mr.. Whitman resigned his position as
president of the GAINESVILLE Saving Bank
in October" he said. He was not pres
ent when any of the deposits compliance
about were made, nor did he know any
thing about them. No demand was made
upon Mr.. Witham for return of such
deposits at any time nor was any demand
made upon other officers of the bank until
Judge Reagan had appointed receiver
and enjoined the bank from paying out
any of its funds to any person.
81 will undertake to say that the public
will he entirely satisfied of the absolute
innocence of Mr.. Witham and confess
that / do not regret that ap opportunity
is now offered him to justify himself
against many and most Injurious charges
which have been in circulation against
him. The public can very well afford to
withhold their judgment in this matter
until the courts which are dealing with It
have developed the real truth Of the
case"

dollars per share, but none could be
found for sale as he said. Well that
is pretty good, and as we started out
to say, is certainly a matter we can all
rejoice about. This company's prop

eight or ten miles from U. S. bound

consists of sixteen full claims. Eight

known as the copper bearing group
and all show pay and large bodies.
At this point the New York company
is erecting a large smelter and build
ing a railroad some sixty miles long,
so these improvements again help u
home company, but the main work of
the Eclipse company, now being car
ried on, is some eight miles further
up the valley at Kennoes, where they
nave eight more claims, and their
workings show gold bearing quartz in
abundance, and also high in values.
Shipments in ton lots showed they
had one hundred dollar ore in uuan-
t1ty, and some much better besides
still greater bodies of a lower but a
paying grade. The possibilities of
these properties are undoubtedly great
and when you look at the value the
New York men place on their proper
ties in same location and not as we'll
proven up as the claims of our Oska-
loosa men, the future of our men seem
assured. Eight millions is the New
York capital and their stocks are pe-
ing sold in quantities in that basis,
and experts claim there is a good
thing in it at that, so 0skaloosa has
about one-half as much territory as
this company and is undoubtedly bet
ter and will eventually produce more
values in gold and copper. Therefore
who can doubt the fact we will have
in u city the future bonanza kings
and again | say why not they deserve
the good things, and as they grow rich
and prosper so will Oskaloosa reap the
benefits, for they are as we understand
all established residents of the city.
There is full forty acres in a mining
claim up in that country, so you will
observe Oskaloosa men have some
six hundred and forty acres of min
eral and timber bearing ground. Thus
you observe our enterprising citizens
are well located up in the Kings do.

AN OSKALOOSA "POME."
Causes a Horrible Nightmare In Knox
VILE.

The following is taken from the
tongs:
An Oskaloosa man who wrote "The
Song of Iowa" has offered prizes to
Iowa school teachers who shall report
by June 10 the largest number of
pupils who shall have committed it
to memory and still be alive to sing
it. AS the law now stands, the writ
ing of a slushy paraphase of my
Maryland" is an offense only against
good taste, but the attempt to bride
the school teachers to foist fresh folly
on their helpless charges is an afro
city that should be rebuked. The
Express is opposed to the free and un-
limited popularization of Oskaloosa
poetry at the expense of the taxpayers
and school children of Iowa. Espec-
tally does The Express kick, and kick
hard, against this Oskaloosa "poic's"
idea that he is all of 1T. There are
others. What's the matter with James
Ballard, the gum-shoe bard of Red
Oak, if this thing comes to a show
down? Every county has a few that
would like to have the schools COM
hitting their doggerel and singing it.
The legislature made a great mistake
in emitting to regulate and define the
crime of writing doggerel and pro-
vide suitable penalties therefor; at
any rate, a good heavy commission
should have been established to sit
upon such cases. "Pomes" and other
refuse should be thrown upon the
worlds market at their own value,
and the overburdened public schools
should not be asked nor required nor
expected to keep them at a parity
with the national hymn.

she was.
In the search of the man Bailey a
quantity of a drug thought TO be opium
was found. The woman who claims
to be his wife told the officers that he
was a "dope fiend." 1t is said that
the fellow put the opium in.his cigar

of the officers who made the search

THE PUBLIC FORUM.
Discussion of Live Topics by
Several Citizens.

DEAR EDIToR:-I have a grievance
The Quarantine law is an act of legls-
lation and is not an obstinate rule of
a biased and prejudiced individual.
1t is the expressed will of the people
and for the purpose of protecting the
masses against the bigoted and sell
fish interests of the individual. Our
state Board of Health by the author
ity of the legislation have deemed 1t
wise to formulate certain rules n
regulations to prevent the spread or
contagious diseases, and thereby pro-
tect the unsuspecting public from dis
cas- and possible death.
1t is therefore every ones duty out
of respect to the law and by virtue OF
his moral obligations to see to 1t hat
he carries out TO the fullest extent
the wishes of the State Board OF
Health.
1t has been my duty very recently
to care for a case of scarlet fever and
to put under quarantine a family on
East 3rd avenue, by the name of II. X.
Mikesell, a barber.
| was called April 9th, 1902, and on
April 10th, ordered a quarantine on
the house. On May 9Th some one,
because of a personal interest or some
Interior motive removed the card and
raised the quarantine from the above
premises. The law is very plain and
exact on this point and will not ad-
nit of any doubtful Interpretation.
Rule Ssof the Regulations for quar-
antine of contagious diseases reads as
follows:
Quarantine shall be established
and maintained in each and every case
for the period named herein, to-wit:
Scarlet fever t~hirty-ive days;
Diphtheria, t~hirty-ive days; Small
poX forty days; Asiatic Cholera,
twenty-one days"
l wish the good people of the COM
munity to know my relations to the
case and to know that the quarantine
has not been raised with my consent.
Yours,

OUR MEN AND OUR GOLD MINES

OOh MEN AND OUh GUILD MINES
EDITORS HERALD:-The next best
thing to rejoicing yer our individ-
ual success is to rejoice over the sue
cess of u fellow townsmen. l I'm
reminded of this in reading the good
reports in Herald coming from the
state of Idaho, relative to the great
prospects in store for our Oskaloosa
investors in the gold mines out there,
it appears we have among us men who
have the happy faculty of getting
their share of the good things in this
world, and why not they deserve to
be reimbursed for their ventures and
none can be too large to suit us, as
their success means much for the fur
Their improvement of Greater Oska-
loosa. Now as strange as it may
appear to many of the readers of the
Herald, it is nevertheless true that
0skaloosa is the headquarters of one
of the greatest gold mining PROPOSE
tions in the northwest. And appar-
emily they have no intention to apprize
the community of their good luck and
bright future, and is likely that we
would not have heard much about
them had it not been that a big New
York syndicate had located extensive
properties near and adjoining the
gold and copper properties of our
friends in Oskaloosa. These New York
men apparently do not propose to
hide their light under the proverbial
bushel, but have issued elaborate
prospectus and description, together
with maps and reports of mining en-
gineers, all of which are the means
of bringing out the locations and con-
ditions of the 0skaloosa enterprise.
And here is where we have good rea-
son to congratulate u friends anc
fellow citizens for their properties,
while not quite so extensive as to
territory. have the largest bodies of
gold and copper bearing veins, to-
gether with greater values per ton.
But to be more explicit will state a
friend started out to find out full
particulars of this 0skaloosa company
and ascertain how much he could get
of its holdings in way of stocks or
bonds, and this is what he reports as
near as | can remember. The mining
company is incorporated under the
Iowa laws and is called the Eclipse
Mining Company; the capital stock
only fifty thousand dollars, full paid
and worcestershire, and not a smlgen
of Il for sale, or to be had at any
price. So far as he could find out,

Mr.. EDITOR:-We are puzzled and
perpleXed and desire to be enlight-
ened. We are in such a "rumpled"
condition of mind as was the little
boy (of whom we read in our OLD
school reader) who asked his father
concerning AleXander's greatness.
What was it made him great?
We have been exultant over 'sure
enough" and prospective improvements
of Greater Oskaloosa," but at same
time we fail to see greatness in lover
ing teachers salaries. Is this part Of
our boosted greatness? Now from onr
standpoint we can see nothing but
decided smallness.
The foundation for true greatness
in city, state or nation certainly lies
in the intelligence, culture and moral
responsibility of each citizen.
A very large proportion of the work
of preparation for true citizenship is
in the hands of our teachers.
Can we afford to strike at the very
heart of our greatness and expect best
results?
Again and again have teachers Of
great strength of character and ahil-
ity turned regretfully away from Os-
kaloosa, to go out to another city that
knew how to show it's appreciation in
dollars and cents. Their loss cannot
be measured. We have felt poorer
ever since, knototng of their personal
labor and love for our children.
George Mcdonald says, "The woman
who takes into her heart her own
children, may be a very ordinary wo-
man, but the woman who takes into
her heart the children of others she is
one of Gods mothers. Such were
these who went away.
To be sure there are some careless
Indifferent and frivolous teachers. If
these are crowded out because the
standard has been raised, we say let
them go, but to driUe out our best
teachers because we refuse to pay as
good wages as some other city can
and will, this is strange economy.
Nothing but the best is good enough
for our children and we can afford to
pay for the best.
Honor to whom honor is due
money too.
