To Build Military Road.

On the urgent recommendation OF
Gen. A. X, Chaffee, commanding the
military forces of the Philippines, Sec
retary of War Root to-day authorized
an expenditure OF SEQ. 900 for immedi-
ate use in the construction OF mill
tary road in the Island of Mindanao
from Iligan, the chief port on the
north coast of the island. to a point on
the northern shore of Lake Lanao
This Lake is in the heart of the More
country and its shores are thicl<ly
dotted with villages, the aggregate in
habitants OF which are estimated at
$4,000. The Spaniards never were
able to penetrate this populous strong
hold Of the Moros. Although the main
purpose OF this road is to encourage
friendly dealings with the natives, it
undoubtedly will be OF great value in
any military movement which may be-
come necessary to insure the submis

Fictitious.

It is very seldom that we pay much at
tention to reports circulated in reference
to the virtue of a patent medicine, as We
have always considered that reports of this
nature We're more or less fictitious and got
ten up for the purpose of creating demand
from the public. But the publication IN
various papers of the wonderful results OBJ
tanned from using that famous remedy ST
Jacobs Oil, and from the TACT that 1t Is
remedy for outward application only, led
US to make trials of it in our own family
which had previously resisted every form
of treatment, was permanently cured by a
few applications of the Oil. Another was a
sprained ankle, with severe pain. This
was instantly relieved and permanently
cured in few days by the use of st. Jacobs
Oil, while for severe toothache and neuralgia
it acted almost like magic, so quickly did the
pain depart after the Oil was applied. Our
own experience in using the Oil, as above
indicated, was SO highly satisfactory that
we determined in the interest OF the gen
eral public to make a thorough local lnves-
tigation among dealers and others who have
sold and used st. Jacobs Oil. Recognizing
Messrs. Taylor and CO. as headquarters for
all proprietary medicines we called at their
Briggate Store, and on making known the
object of our visit to the general Manager
he stated that their three stores in Leeds
of st. Jacobs Oil every week, and the trade
was constantly increasing-that 1t was the
most popular remedy sold and was highly
spoken of by everyone who used it. The
Manager said he had heard hundreds OF
people say they had been permanently cured
of rheumatism, neuralgia, sciatica, and SIM
liar complaints by the use of this famous OIL.
