ers the operations of his important de.
partment and In summing up states;
"In the conduct of the business OF
this department the rule adopted upon
It's organization, as both just and in
accord with the express desire OF
President Mckinley, and confirmed by
President Roosevelt, to give worthy
and competent natives the preferences
in the selection OF employees has been
strictly adhered to. No foreigners,
with knowledge of the fact by the de.
partment, have been employed and no
Americans except in positions where
the introduction Of new systems or the
prosecution Of particular classes OF
work required the services Of men
specially qualified. and such were not
locally obtainable.
''The force regularly employed in
the several branches Of the depart.
ment Of the interior aggregates fully
1000 persons, at least 95 per cent Of
whom are native-born citizens of Porto
Rico. TO their loyalty, Integrity,
honesty and devotion to duty too high
tribute cannot be paid. and this ap-
plies to all, from the highest salaried
oficial to the smallest paid laborer.
Whatever of success may have been
attained along the many lines of work
under tho supervision of the commits
sioner, the credit for it belongs to the
employees. whose efficiency and indus
try have made progress possible and
it will be one of the chief pleasures
Of my future life to contemplate the
years Of duty performed in Porto Rico,
and to recall with gratitude memory
Of the valuable assistance so freely and
kindly contributed by those whom
have been so fortunate as to have la.

helping the people to reach the goal

Hicks on March Weather.

We will name the 10Th to the 2lst as
one OF the most general, active and
dangerous periods of disturbance in
March. Thunder storms, eQuin.
octial gales and tidal waves, seismic
phenomena, all followed by March
billiards, northwinds and a swee ping
barometer and cold wave, are the
things to be looked for this time.
General and destructive sleet will be
most natural nOrthwaId during this
Mercury period. The 23rd and Oath
are central days of reactionary
storm period. On and touching these
dates look for return of marked storm
conditions attended by heavy rain
southwark, turning to sieet, snow
and very disagreeable, stormy
weather in central and north sections.
The Vulcan storm period covering
the last five days Of March and reach-
ing into April. will eliminate on the
29th, Both and 3lSt in violent storms
and dangerous tidal waves.

THE WOMEN OF PORTO RICO.
New EnwIanders learn How Ameri.
oAn Residsats on the Island
HELP the Natives.


'The Spaniards went to Porto Rico
for what they could get out Of 1t.
and I am sorry to say that good
many Americans have gone for the
same reason" said Mrs. Elliott Jones
before the National Society Of New
England Women at recent business
meeting. reports the N. 7. Tribune.
"But, nevertheless" she continued,
'we have done much for the Porto
Ricans, and the American women resi-
dent on tho island, most Of them be-
ing wives Of army and navy officers.
have taken leading part in the good
work
Il never saw anything SO terrible
as the poverty in Porto Rico. People
often ask me why the American occu-
patton has not improved the condition
Of the people. but this is easy to un-
derstand after one has lived there.
Although the Spanish government has
been destroyed, the land is still owned
by Spaniards. and they have taken adj
vantage Of the establishment of the
American system Of currency in the
island to raise their rents, reckoning
peso. which is worth only 60 cents.
as equal to 81. This has nearly
doubled rents and has caused a great
deal Of poverty, for which the United
States Is being blamed. Then there
was the hurricane. which left thou
sands destitute. This was when the
women came to the rescue. About 20
Of them organized the Woman's Aid
society Of Porto Rico, appealed to
their friends in the north and fed
and clothed this multitude.
AT first aid was given absolutely
gratis, but it soon became evident that
this was producing pauperism, and ar.
rangements were made for supplying
the women with work. This is still
kept up and under the care Of the
secretary the women, who when they
FIRST came for assistance, tumbled over
one another like lot Of animals, have
become neat. clean and self-respect.
ing. Another thing which the women
have done is to build hospital at San
Juan. Formerly the poorer classes of
Porto Rico had scarcely any care in
time OF sickness. The newborn chill.
dren cared for themselves, and the re.
suit Is the terrible deformity which
one sees everywhere in Porto Rico.
The new hospital is intended for ma,
ternity cases, and the city Of San
Juan Is giving 5000 a month to its
support. American nurses have been
secured. and If any of you want to
help you can send box Of cast-ofl
clothing addressed to the Woman's
Aid society. San Juan, Porto Rico.
Don't put IN any furs or velvets, but
make up box of all the cotton gar.
ments, sheets, towels and pillow cases
that you can spare and you have no
idea how much good 1t will do. l
would Like to tell you more about
what is being done in Porto Rico, but
It would take too long"

INVITATION FROM JOHN Z. DAILY.
Leading Grand Rapids Druggists Urge You
to Try Hyomei, the GUARANTEED Cure
for Catarrh,

Any reader of the WOOD COUNTY
REPORTER who suffers with catarrh.
or who is subject to catarrhal colds, is
invited to John E. Days store for a
complete Hyomei OUTFIT on approval.
SO confident are they that Hyomei
will cure the worst and most deep-seat-
ed case of catarrh that he will furnish
full mouths treatment OF Hyomei
on trial.
While it would be unreasonable to
expect a chronic case of catarrh,
which has been growing worse for
years, could be cured within a month.
yet he feels sure that the thirty days
treatment will convince the user that
Hyomei is infallible in driving Ca
tarrhal poison from the system. There
is no dangerous stomach drugging
when Hyomei is used. Simply breathe
its healing balsams through the
neat inhaler that comes with every
outfit, and the germ-killlng and
health-giying air will penetrate to the
most remote cells in the air passages
of the head, throat and lungs, and
drive catarrhal poison from the system.
Nothing else will so quickly cure
cold in the head or stop an ordinary
cough.
Singers and public speakers will find
Hyomei invaluable. It strengthens
the voice and gives 1t a rich, clear
tone. Catarrhal deafness Is cured
when Hyomei and the special Hyomei
balm are used.
The complete outfit costs only one
dollar, and If, after using, you can say
that it did not help you John e. DAILY
will return your money.

Albino Deer in Oregon.

An albino deer. with coat as white a
snow and eyes delicate pink, was
killed In the Canyon mountains of
southern Oregon recently. It was one of
the very few albino deer ever seen in tbs
mountains Of the west. Old hunters tell
OF seeing them, usually separate from
the main herds, at various times during
the early days; but they were too shy to
be approached near enough for shot.
The deer killed In the Canyon noun
tains was with four other deer at the
time 1t was found, and had not this been
true the hunters would not have taken
it for deer. It's white coat made 1t far
more conspicuous than the remainder Of
the herd and 1t is perhaps for this reason
that albino deer are Stunned by their
mates

show considerable excitment over the
report that the Russians have aban-

news has been received there OF a
pretty definite sort.
The report has gained creience here
because OF the news of the feat OF Ad-

"bottling it up.''

PORT ARTHUR INVESTED.
Latest Development of the War
i'm the Far East.

Paris, Feb. 1S.-An eminent
military authority, connected with
one of the embassies, said today
that Port Arthur was practically
besieged, and it was serious
question whether this would not
compel either the abandonment
or the surrender of the fortress
with its men and material.
The repairs to the Russian war
ships damaged during the bonn
bardment of February 9 are now
rapidly proceeding.
The railroad is undamaged and
kPort Arthur is clam. All troops
are eagerly awaiting an oppor.
tunity to meet the japanese in
an open fight.
The report that 5000 Russian
troops had arrived at Chin Tien
Cheng, opposite Viii, on the
Yalu River, is confirmed, as is
the report that the Russians have
occupied Wiju itself. They have
1000 troops at Wiju and the first
collision is expected somewhere
In that vicinity.
a telegram from Port Arthur
says the japanese have captured
two more steamers.
Heavy snow storms are report
ed throughout Corea.
The Hsi-Ping reports that she
was fired on by the Russian shi ps
and forts when seeking shelter in
the outer roadstead of Port Arthur
and that she was then ordered 10
Dalny, where she was detained
four days, in spite of her captains
protests.

at time when our beloved SOW
ereign desired to maintain peace
among the nations. The condi.
tions under which hostilities are
being carried on compel us to
wait with patience news of the
success of our troops, which can
not occur before decisive actions
are fought by the Russian army
The distance to the territory and
the desire of the emperor to keep
peace are the causes of the i'm
possibility of more complete and
earlier preparations for war.
Much time is now necessary in
order to strike at Japan blows
worthy of the dignity and might
of Russia, and, while sparing as
much as possible the shedding of
blood of her children, to inflict
justice npon the nation which has
provoked the struggle. Russia
must await the event in patience,
being sure that our army will
avenge an hundredfold that prov
ocation."

st. Petersburg, Feb. 1S.-No
official announcement has vet
been made regarding the report
from Toxic of second. japanese
torpedo attack at Port Arthur
There are reports here, but they
lack official confirmation, that an
attack made on Port Arthur on
February 16 was repulsed after
heavy firing on both sides. Ac-
cording to the story this attack
was intended as a teint to cover
a landing at Talien Wan Bay
but it failed, because the Russian
guns were placed with great fore.
sight to command that shore. A
Russian expert says the Japan
ese evidently hoped the adjacent
group of Eliot Isles would cover
this movement as they did the
same thing during the China
japanese war, landing simulta.
neOusly at Talien Wan and Kin
Chou, thus cutting of Port rtArthur
from each side of the Lao Tung
Peninsula.
The frank statement of the
government in its communique
of this morning Of Russia's un-
preparedness, owing to Japan's
sudden precipitation of hostilities.
and warning the Russian public
not to expect immediate victories,
confirms the opinion which has
existed here that Russia will act
upon the defensive until her army
is fully modelled and the equip
ment of the commissariat is in
perfect working order. There
are now over 100000 men in the
field, but this number will be
largely augmented. About $4,000
men are required to guard the
railroad.
