prominence unless they meet with the
general approval. not of individuals only,
but of the many who have the happy
faculty of selecting, enjoying and learn
ing the real worth of the choicest prod

becomes important to others, since to
meet the requirements of the well in

cially applicable to medicinal agents and
after nearly a quarter of a century of
growth and general use the excellent

A MORO FORT DESTROYED.
Likely to Result in Moros Acknowledging
American Control

Manila, April 13.-Captain Pershing's
force captured Bacalod, Island of Min
dano, killed a hundred Moros and
wounded many others. Three Ameri-
cans were wounded. Pershing's force
consisted of Shaw's battalion of the
Twenty-seventh infantry, Kilpatricls's
troop of the Fifteenth cavalry and Nc
Nair's battery.
Pershing was surveying the west
shore lands when the Bacolodians OPP
posed his advance and provoked fight.
Pershing's force surrounded and at
tackled their stronghold, first Smelling
them and rushing his troops forward,
charged gallantly. After crossing a
deep moat and entering the fort the
Americans engaged the Moros, bayo-
nets against l1risses. A hundred of the
defenders were killed including the
datto of Panandungan and many were
wounded. Only three Americans were
wounded. After the capture of the
fort it was destroyed. The Bacolod
leaders and the majority of the people
of the district had been hostile to the
Americans and encouraged attacks on
American camps. They rejected the
tenders of friendship. 1t is expected
that the defeat of the Bacolodians will
result in all the Moros acknowledging
American sovereignty. Pershing's col

A Veterans Story.

Bath, N. Y, April 13th.-The first
consideration of the Commandant and
officers in the conduct of the Soldiers
and Sailors Home here is the health
of the Veterans. Kidney Troubles are
the most common cause of ailment
very few of the old men escaping these
in some form or other.
OF course the comrades do as much
as possible for themselves, and one o.
the most popular and useful remedies
employed is Dodd's Kidney Pills
which seem to be almost infallible in
cases of Kidney arrangements. Indeed
there are among the veterans several
who claim to owe their lives to Dodd's
Kidney Pills.
For instance, A. E. Ayers, who came
to the home from Minneapolis, Mimi.
was given up by four doctors in that
city. He had Bright's Disease, and
never expected to live through it, but
his life was saved and his health re
stored by Dodd's Kidney Pills.
His experience has made the remedy
very popular among the men, and no
one who has used Dodd's Kidney Pills
for any Kidney Trouble has been dis
appointed.

GOOD WHEAT REPORTS.
The Crop Never Looked Better ut End of
March.

March.
Topeka, April 9-The Southwestern
Grain Journal says touching the con-
dition of Kansas wheat:
"The prospects for crop Of winter
wheat could not be better than they
are at the present time. The plant
has gone through the winter in good
shape and nowhere in the southwest
has any of it been injured on account
of severe freezing.
"We cannot recall time during our
twenty-seven years residence in the
Southwest when wheat looked better
at the end of the month of March than
it does now.
''The Southwestern Grain Journal
within the last few days has received
over 300 cards from every port of Ne
braslSa, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma,
Indian Territory and Texas, and nearly
all are unit on the present condition.
In few localities in Missouri and
Kansas the presence of the Hessian
fly in the growing wheat is reported,
but no apprehension or fear of serious
damage to the growing crop is limited
at in our correspondence at this time.
''The Hessian fly may cause some ap-
prehension later on but at this time all
reports would indicate that its pres
ence is exceedingly local. We have
only few complaints of fly from Mis-
souri,; in Kansas there seems to be a
strip of country through the wheat
belt from north to south twenty to
fifty miles wide, which reports the
presence of fly, but wheat is said to be
looking good even there. This strip
