Loss Of Annetite

Is commonly gradual; one dish after
another is set aside till few remain.
These are not eaten with much relish,
and are often so light as not to afford
much nourishment
Loss of appetite is one of the first in
dications that the system Is running
down, ana there is nothing else so good
for it as Hoods arsaparilla-the best
of all tonics.
Accept no substitute for Hoods.

ONE PRECInIT COUNTED.
Chicago Election Commissioners Decide &c
Submit the Lorimei- Durborow Contest
to the Courts for Settlement.

Chicago, March 31.-The board
of election commissioners in the
face OF objections by Lorimer's at
torneys decided to count the ballots
in the Lorimer-Durborow congress
sional contest in one precinct and to
make up an agreed case to be carried
to the supreme court. Thereupon
they began to count the ballots with
locked doors. Judge Carter, as legal
adviser for the election board, an
nounced that the counting of one
precinct would preserve the sanctity
of the election law and the principle
for which the commissioners were
contending, and that in view of
pressed matters in connection with
the coming municipal election he
was willing to postpone the counting
of the remaining precincts. The
counting of the ballots proceeded
without interruption and when fin
ished an adjournment of the hearing
was taken until April 10. The cleo
ton board, however, remained in
session, and its primary object is
believed to be the maintenance Of
authority over the police guard in
anticipation of any move on the part
of Judge Hanecy and the LorimeI
supporters.

THE OBJECT NOT ATTAINED.
9rout Bill Did Not Check the Sale of Olet
and the Government Il Not Recefv-
Ing as Much Revenue.

Topeka, Kan, March 30.-The Grout
electromagnetic bill passed by
congress year ago has not worked
out as those backing it intended. The
object of the bill was to stop the
manufacture of oleomargarine. The
creamery men of the country pushed
it through congress. But the law
has not stopped the making of oleo
nor even checked it. More butterine
Is now made than ever. The only
thing that the law has done is to
deprive the government of revenue.
Under the old law the government
got two cents tax per pound. Under
the new law the government was to
receive ten cents tax per pound for
colored cleo, and one-fourth cent per
pound for oleo in its natural color,
which is white. The butterine fac
tories are turning out more white
butterine now than they used to turn
out of the colored product, and they
pay only one-fourth cent tax now
where they used to pay cents. The
demand is increasing right along.

ITAMING THE MOROS.
Capt. Pershing Says One-Man
Power Is Absolutely Essential.
Their Slavery Is Like VassaIage or Serfdom
and Is q Part of Their Religion
Have Adm rabie Traits
OF Character.

Washington, March 2s.-Capt. John
J. Pershing, Fifteenth infantry, who
has been in command in the Moro
country, in the Philippines, has
written a letter under date of Camp
Vickers, January %, to a personal
friend in the war department., i'll
which he gave in detail many inter
esting facts in connection with the
disturbances in Mindanao. Capt.
Pershing says that after he was
placed in charge of Moro affairs by
Gen. Davis, he worked on the theory
that it was necessary to establish
mutual confidence between the Moros
and the United States. He endeav-
United States is their friend, having
no desire to carry them off into
slavery or to take anything belong
ing to them without paying for it.
This, he writes, is all contrary to
what they have been accustomed to
in the past. The Spaniards and the
Moros could not get along together
well. The Moros were very jealous
of their religion and the Spaniards
tried to civilize them by Selling and
baptizing some of them. There were
atrocities committed on both sides
as a result of the differences.
Capt. Pershing says that the Moros
do not realize any other kind OF gov
eminent than a one-man power. he
says he has been able to keep all the
promises he has made which has
enabled him to be more successful
in command of that district. They
regard him as representing the presi-
dent of America and are somewhat
uneasy as to what his successor will
do. The question of slavery is init
mately connected with their
religion and is something of vassal-
age or serfdom and not slavery
known in this country. He thinks
it subject that should remain I'M
touched until it is understood better.
Captain Pershing says the Moros
have some admirable traits of char
acter. "Once a friend they all go to
the limit for you" They are in
dustrious and have splendid rice
fields and other agricultural crops.
The country is capable of great
things from an agricultural stand
point. The country is somewhat like
Mohawk valley and the whole district
can be compared to that about Lake
George. Capt. Pershing says that he
believes the troops could march
around the lake now and be received
in friendly spirit everywhere ex-
cept at Bacalod. He has a number
of reliable secret service Moros and
they inform him of the conditions
and feeling among their countrymen.
