Manager for the Plant System, will
retain that position with the consoli-

the ablest passenger agents in the

unbounded. The mileage of the

DO Good-lt pays.

A Chicago man has observed
that, GOOD deeds are better than
real estate deeds-some OF the lat
ter are worthless. Act kindly and
gently, show sympathy and lend
a helping hand. You cannot pos
slbly lose by it." Most men ap-
preciate kind word and encour-
agement more than substantial
help. There are persons in this
community who might truthfully
say: My good friend, cheer up. A
few doses of ChamberIaln's Cough
Remedy will rid you of your cold,

from pneumonia when you use
that medicine. 1t always cures.

our facilities of news transmissions.
we wait for in vain to-day. After lead
ing up very gradually to the catastro-
phe, he told his readers that ION the
night of the said Goth, about mid
night, the whole island of St. Vim
cent rose up in the air, with most
dreadful eruption of Fire from under
meath the Earth, and an inconceivable
Noise in the Air at its rising up. that
it was not only blown, but blown out
of the very sea, with dreadful force,
as if it were torn up by the Roots,
or blown up from the Foundations of
the Earth" Finally, to bring the event
home to his readers, he recalled an
accident in a foundry in Moorfields,
where a quantity of liquid gunmetal
coming in contact with some water
had blown up the works-just as n
journalist of to-day might perhaps re-
call the recent destructive fire in the
same district to suggest, however

over these hapless islands recently.

"To the Americans-We ask you to

Captain Pershing undertook to as

cndnRcus
MANILA, Aug. 20.-There have been
no developments in the Moro situation
on the island of Nfindanao General
Chaffee was expected to reach Cebu
on the army transport ingalls, yester-
day, but the vessels arrival at that
port has not yet been reported. 1t is
possible that General Chaffee has de-
cided to shorten his trip to the south
ern islands and return to Manila di-
rect. An order received from the war
department at Washington leaving ac-
tion in the Moro situation to General
Chaffee's discretion has been transmit
ted to him in the south, but has proba-
bly, not yet reached him.
1t is believed here that General Chat
fee will increase the American forces
on Mindanao and issue an ultimatum
to the hostile Moros. There are ut pres
ent 27,000 American troops in the Phil
ippine Islands, goodly portion of
which could be spared for active serv-
ice.
