Capt. George Heinemann, we'll known
in Honolulu, writes friend here about

tain Heinemann is in command of the
United States launch Detroit, with
headquarters at Cottabato:
1 have met Mr.. Townsend a couple OF
times, and will. in all probability, meet
him oftener, L go occasionally TO
Zamboanga, where he is, and he comes
here once in a while on a tour of in
spection.
| The progress of establishing a civil
government in Mindanao, outside OF
Zamboanga and Misamis, is very, very
! slow. The Moros don't want it; they
| have been living under, a strict feudal
system for so many hundreds of years,
/ that a change can only take place
VERY gradually. The worst of it is that
F.! it is next to an impossibility to establish
schools, first on account of the difficulty
| in reaching the school house, as all
transportation and communication is by
water, and second because they are Mo-
hammedans. If a school law should sud-
denly be enforced here, they would all
rise up in arms, and a destructive fight
would be the consequence. 1 think the
idea is to wait until American capital
comes in here, and large plantations are
started, when the gradual influence of
the Americans will change the situation.
The chiefs at the present time control
their people and the land, and Moro
court has been established here now to
try offenders of their own race. In a
question of life and death they will have

This Years Wheat Crop.

The wheat of the Shenandoah Val
ley, which is now beginning to come
into market, is said to be of better
quality than for several years past,
though the yield is much below the
average. The price is about Scents a
bushel higher than at this timein 1901,
when it was 60 to GO cents a bushel.
The government estimates Of the
wheat cropin the United States thisyear
say that it will be up to the average, or
about 633, 100000 bushels. The in
crease of the price at this time over
last year is due to the tremendous
falling off in the visible supply both
in this country and in Europe. In
the United States and Canada on July
l, 1902, the visible supply was 90
511 900 bushels, as against Al 100000
a year ago and 65,000,000 in 1900.
The European supply on the Let Of
July was 100000 bushels, against
100000 a year ago. While there
was splendid crop of wheat in the
prairie States last year, there was an
almost total failure of the corn crop,
and now in parts Of the West corn is
higher than wheat. Under these con-
ditiors the Western farmers are using
a greater quantity of wheat on their
farms, not only for bread, but also
'or feed for cattle. The wheat, there
fore, in some OF the greatest Of the
wheat States remained in the grana-
ries and did not go in the visible sup
ply. In most of these States it will
still be several months before the new
corn will be available, and in the
meantime a great quantity of wheat
will be consumed as a substitute.
This year the export Of corn was only
$4,000 bushels, against 4 ,294, 900 the
year before. The Government guess
ers estimate the corn crop Of the Unit
ed States this year at the enormous
figure of 2,500,OO0,000 bushels.

Car Wheels Made Of Money.

Every year our government destroys
nearly half billion dollars worth of
Soiled or torn bank notes, and after they
have been reduced to pulp are used for
making railroad car wheels. From a
bank note to car wheel is about as rad
ical transformation as the one brought
about in the case of all weak, nervous
and sickly people who will use Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, the favorite
American remedy for stomach, liver
and bowel complaints. A wineglaSsful
before meals will put the stomach in
good condition to digest the food and
prevent the bowels from becoming con-
stipated. Every one should keep it in
the house to prevent belching, tlatulen-
cy, insomnia and nervousness. also to
cure indigestion, dyspepsia, and liver
and kidney troubles.

"AIiCe of Old Vincennes."

Another enchantingly interesting sto-
ry is delighting readers of the Sunday
North American. Alice Of Old Vim
cennes," by Maurice Thompson, is both
thrilling ard pathetic, word picture
of the life Of the early settlers in In
diana. which portrays the lights and
shadows of pioneer days with the skill
of an expert. Love making in those
days was apt TO be interrupted by the
sudden crack of the rifle and the ping
ing Of a bullet on the door post. They
were stirring days of badger, stern hard
ship and frequent tragedies.
Through this border life, with its
shooting ARRAYS and fierce fights. Alice
of Old Nincennes moves like a being
from a world of her own. She is tasci-
mating character to those who compare
her with the modern girl. And yet her
prototype could be readily found in
those strenuous pioneer days. Here is
a synopsis Of the opening chapters OF
the book.
Alice Roussillon is introduced to the
reader. She is described as tall, 1.-the
girl at play beneath a cherry tree with
her foster brother, Jean, the bunch
back. They are interrupted by Pere
Beret the parish priest.
GaSpard Roussillon, the adopted faith
err of the children, stalwart French
immigrant, had taken the two waits
and had given them a home. The girl
was of Protestant parentage, but her
guardian, devout Catholic, had refused
to interfere with her religion, much to
the regret of the good priest.
After Gliding the children for their
rough play Pere Beret was told that a
quantity of alcoholic liquor had just
of approval or disapproval, but as he
sat on the doorsill Of his home thinking
of it. letter was handed him.
The continuation of the story will be
found in the Sunday North American.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused By an intlamed
condition of the mucous lining Of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
infamed you have a rumbling sound of
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever nine cases out Of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case Of Deafness Caused by catarrh)

A Terrible Mistake.

Henry Sexton, of Peace Spring,
Summers county, was shot and almost
instantly killed at Rend, Fayette
county, on Sunday, by J. Newt Ste
vens, detective from Elliot county,
KY. 1t seems that Stevens was hunt
ing for an escaped murderer from Ken
lucky and for the arrest Of whom there
was offered a reward Of $1,000. Mr..
Sexton, it is alleged, fitted the de-
scription of the fugitive exactly-a
limp in the right foot, sore eyes, bushy
eyebrows, age, etc. Stephens followed
Sexton to the home Of Jacob Titerow,
rushed in, presented his pistol and or
dered Sexton to hold up his hands,
which the astonished man did. For
some unknown reason the pistol went
off and Sexton dropped to the floor.
Stevens called to his brother, who was
not far off, to come to him. The two
handcufed the dying man, who drew
his last breath as they led him out Of
the room. The detectives then dis
covered that they had made mistake
and fed. One Of them has been ap-
pretended but the other is still at large.
Mr.. Sexton was 40 years Of age, leaves
a wife and ten children and formerly
lived in Union, Monroe county. His
body was brought to his home at Pence
Spring for interment.-Grecn6rjer In

An excellent law which went into
effect in South Carolina on July l is
intended to put stop to the pistol
carrying habit. South Carolina doubt
less had a law forbidding the carrying
Of concealed weapons, and found it,
as it has been found in other States,
Intellectual. The new law puts an abb
solute ban upon pistols or revolvers
of the ordinary type. The smallest
frearm allowed by the new law must
be twenty inches long and weigh at
least three pounds. Not only is the
carrying of the small pistols forbid
den, but dealers are forbidden to car
ry them in stock. Heavy penalties
are provided for the violation OF any
of the provisions Of the law.

THE strikes of certain bodies of
men, such as the coal miners in Penn
sylvania and the freight handlers in
Chicago, seems 10 be little unreas-
enable when it is known that these
men are already getting fairly good
wages. The fact is, however, that the
trusts have placed such prices upon
almost everything that one eats and
wears and of necessity uses that it
takes high wages to provide decent
living for a family. A dollar and
a-half now gets little more than a
dollar would buy few years ago, and
the increase in wages has by no means
kept pace with the advance in the
cost Of living.

THERE'S rather peculiar mix-up
among the Republican leaders at pres
ent. President Roosevelt and his
friends are making strong bid for
the support of the independent voters
by an ostensible determination to
bring the trusts TO an accounting and
to offer legislation restricting the evils
of these combinations. On the other
hand, Mark Hanna and the holder
men of the party, who do not care
for public opinion but believe that
might makes right, together with the
vast influence of the trusts, are not at
all enthusiastic about Mr.. Roosevelt S
candidacy, and will set up nominee
after their own heart if possible, prob
ably Mr.. Hanna himself.
So here's the trouble: If Roosevelt
is renominated he will lose the inhu-
ence of the trusts. If it is Hanna,
he'll never get the independent vote.
It's not improbable that 1904 will
be Democratic year.
