, Manila. March GA court martial
has been ordered TO try Major Little
John w. r. Waller and Lieutenant John
II. A. Day of the Marine Corps on
March II next, on the charge Of eXecut-
ing natives OF the Island OF Samar
without trial. Some of the circum-
stances in the case are peculiarly afro
Cious. one native was tied to u tree
and publicly shot in the thigh. The
next day the man was shot in the arms.
The third day he was shot in the body.
and The fourth day the native was
killed
Friends of the two officers attribute
their actions to loss of mind, due to the
prlvations which they suffered in the
Island of Samar
The privations suffered by Major
Waller and Lieutenant Day probably
were endured during the expedition of
Waller and u detachment of marines.
who started in the last week of Decem-
Der 1901, from Lanang, on the east
coast of Samar to cross the island to
Basey about thirty-five miles on the
map. Incessant rains from the start,
swollen streams and other natural OBJ
stacles made the marines progress eX-
tremeiy slow, and when their rations
were consumed the men became eX-
hausted rapidly and dropped along the
way. Major Waller became separated
from his brother officers, Captain Por
ter and Lieutenant r. p. williams, and
the greater part of the men ana pro-
ceeded toward Basey, where he ar
rived on January .. with two officers
and thirteen men. and also Lieutenant
Lyles of the Twelfth Infantry who ac
companied the command. The major
returned to the mountains the next day
for relief, but turned back to Basey
about ten laters, his trip having been
unsuccessful.
Timber Would Not Float
Captain Porter was to have built
RATS, but the timber would not float.
THE second day after separating from
Waller, Captain Porter moved toward
Ianang, where he arrived on Jan. II,
with two men, all exhausted physi-
Cally and mentally.

detachment of marines, including Lieu
tenant Waller, who Won distinction in
breaking into a burning store and re-
moving between $1,000 and 10000 rounds
of cartridges at the risk OF their lives,
thus saving the lives of numerous for
eigners who We're living close by.
Waller also rescued score or more of
Greek women from u hospital which
had been set on fire by the AleXan-
drians. He devised a ladder out OF
bed clothing and lowered one woman
after another safely to his men on the
ground.
Walters Career.
Waller was promoted from first lieu
tenant in 1885, and in 1890 he became
captain and was stationed at the
marine barracks. Norfolk, from March,
1891, to March 1895. He again joined
the Lancaster in September, 1895, and
went to the Newark in July, 1896.
Captain Waller was transferred to the
Indiana when the destruction of the
battleshp Maine in Havana harbor in
dicated war with Spain, and he had
charge of the second battery of that
ship. When Admiral Cervera's fleet
battery fired 1,744 shots in sixty-fve
minutes. In November, 1899, Major
Waller, who had been promoted to that
rank July %, 1899, was stationed at the
marine barracks at Cavite, where he
remained until early in June, 1900,
when he sailed for Taku with a de-
tachment of 100 marines and took part
in the fighting at Tien-Tsin on July
16, assisting in capturing fort west
of the north city.
After leaving China, Major Waller
returned to Manila and from there,
Oct. %, 1901, he went to the island of
Samar with $50 marines. Soon after,
Major Waller attacked a force of in
surgents occupying a strong position
at Sojton, and after two days desper-
ate fighting carried the position. Two
of the marines and twenty-six insur-
gents We're killed. Major Waller de-
stroyed the insurgent quarters and
seventy houses.

Many people with weak indigestion,
as well as some physicians consider the
| first step to take in attempting to cure
| indigestion Is to- restrict the diet, either
by selecting certain foods and rejecting
others or to cut down the amount of
food eaten TO barely enough to keep
soul and body together in other words
the starvation plan is by many suppos
cd to ta The first essential.
All this is radically wrong. 1t is fool
ish and unscientific TO recommend diet
ing to man already suffering from
starvation because indigestion itself
starves every organ, nerve and fibre in
the body
What people with poor digestion most
need ie, abundant nutrition plenty of
good, wholesome properly cooked food,
and something to assist the weak
stomach to digest it.
This is exactly the purpose for which
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are adapt
ed and the true reason why they cure
the worst cases of stomach trouble.
Eat q sufficient amount of wholesome
food and after each meal take one or
two of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets to
promptly digest it.
III this way the system is nourshed
aud the overworked stomach rested, be-
cause the tablets will digest the food
whether the stomach works or not, one
grain OF the active digestive principle
in Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets being
sufficient to digest 5000 grains of meat,
eggs or other albuminous food.
Or. Harlandson and DR.. Redwell rec
Commend these tablets in all cases of
defective digestion because the pepsin
and diastaste in them are absolutely
free from animal matter and other i'm
purities, and being pleasant to the taste
are as safe and harmless for the child
as for the adult.
All drug stores sell this excellent
preparation, and the daily use of them
| after meals will be of great benefit, not
| only as an immediate relief but to per-
inanently build up and invigorate the
digestive organs.

OF Treating Dyspepsia and Stomach
Troubles Is Useless and

The almost certain failure of the

The grounds for the protests of pa
rochial schools against the law do not
seem to have been well taken. The adj
vantages accruing from compulsory at
tendance at school under this bill seem
to favor the private and parochial
schools quite as much as the public in
stitutions. Protestant, Catholic or Luz
theran, the law forces an education or
at any rate certain amount of study
in the fundamentals of learning. All
interested in the education of the young
