horse that stepped in hole with his
front foot, coming down the mountain
with trail of props, and fell forward
and strained his shoulder blade That
it swelled 50 fast that we could hardly
get the collar off, and in two hours his

Catarrh Of the Stomach caused indigestion

opposite Indigestion causes catarrh. Re-
peated attacks Of indigestion inflsmes tho
mucous membranes lining the stomach and
exposes the nerves Of the stomach, thus csus-
ing the glands TO secrete mucin instead OF

CRUELTY CHARGED.
Lieutenant Colonel Howe TO be Subject
to Investigation.

Washington.-The war depart
ment is to investigate the charges
that have been filed against Lieu
tenant Colonel Robert Howe, who
was in command of post in North
ern Luzon in 1899. The charges re-
late to the cruelties to Fiiipinos, al
legations being made that Lieuten-
ant Colonel Howe was cognizart OF
the fact that two natives were
whipped to death and that no pun
ishment of the offenders was record
ed as, having been ordered. 1t is
stated at the war department that so
far as investigated it appears that
the alleged cruelties we're perpe-
trated by native officers while Colo
mel Howe was absent after hostile
Fiiipinos. The matter has been
brought to the attention OF Colonel
Howe and a partial reply made
that an investigation at the time
showed that only one native had
died and that his death was due to
diabetes. Reports of alleged out
RACES in the Philippines for which
Colonel Howe ard some other Off
GERS are. said to be responsible are
