Captain McDonald Refutes
O'Brien's Statement
AS TO THE DOINGS AT IGBARAS
Bptlons, Were "Sot "Withheld From,
the. Troops "So Barbarity in Con
nection "With the Capture
of Lanosr.
WASHINGTON, May 26. Captain Mc
Donald, formerly of the Twenty-sixth Vol
unteer Infantry, one of the officials ac-
cuo'u in corporal j jonen s testimony,
was before the Philippine committee of
ire Senatfe today. He denied all of the
allegations made by O'Brien, and said
O'Brien was elsewhere at the time he
claimed to have been present. McDonald
denied the statement by O'Brien that he
(McDonald) and a number of other officers
misbehaved themselvee at a native dance.
He showed that at -tho time alleged Major
Cook, one of the officers named, and him
self -were on duty elsewhere. Captain Mc
Donald cald O'Brien was a troublesome
eoidler.
Captain McDonald, who Is from Charlee
town, Mass., Raid he- had ho doubt that
he was the Captain Frederick McDonald
referred to In Corporal O'Brien's testi
mony. He admitted having- seen tho
water cure administered at Igbaras, but
assorted that O'Brien was at Ban Joaquin,
SO miles away, at the tlmo. The witness
said he vent to the Philippines In 1S93 ond
hnd been there IS or 20 months. ,
Senator Lodge Do you know anything
5f the violation of the person of a Span
ish -woman by American officers, as testi
fied to by O'Brien?
Captain McDonald No such circum
stances ever occurred at that time, or any
other, from the beginning to the end of
my stay In the Philippines, and I have
npver known of a Spanish -woman or any
other woman bslng violated by an Amer
ican officer.
The wltncsg went on to say that he
eupposed the woman that O'Brien had in
mind In this connection was the wife of a
eon of the Mayor of Igbarae. A brother
of the woman's husband, he said, had
been made a cripple for Ufa by Montour's
band of ladrones, and the body of the
husband's father, when he died, had been
dragged about the streets by Montour
himself. This woman, he said, had given
valuable Information to Sergeant Davis-,
of his company, concerning the insurgents,
but, the witness added, this woman never
had been maltreated by the Americans.
Regarding O'Brien's statement that Mc
Donald and other officers had demanded
themselves disgracefully at a native dance
at San Joaquin, Captain McDonald said:
"That statement lg a deliberate He from
beginning to end. Major Cook, -whose
name is given as that of one of the offi
cers present on that occasion, was on
duty at the town of Jaro, 60 miles distant,
at the time the dance is said to have oc
curred, and I was on duty at MIgoon."
Captain McDonald also flatly contradict
ed O'Brien's statement to the effect that
heor any other officers of the company
liad withheld from the troops the rations
to which they were entitled. In that con
nection he called nttentlon to the fact
that the Captain of a company never han
dled the fund for the purchase of sup
plies needed by his command. He also
declared that lt-was not true that the
bread received for the company had been
sold. "The soldiers," he said, "had fresh
bread every day In the week that we could
bake it."
As to the statement that the Insurgents
had put a price on his head because of
his cruelty. Captain McDonald said he
never heard of that fact. If It was a fact.
"I Imagine," he said, "that the insurgents
would have shot any officer of the Amer
ican Army, as I would have shot any In
surgent officer who would not surrender,
but that there was any price upon my
head I had no evidence, and I went about
freely and alone among the natives at all
times."
He also denied that he ever had struck
a prisoner over the head with a revolver,
as O'Brien had charged. "If," he said,
"a prisoner had not done as ordered, I
should have shot him instead of striking
him "
Speaking of the treatment of peaceable
natives by the Americans In the Philip
pines, Captain McDonald said It was like
the treatment of a child by his father.
The witness also testified concerning the
capture of the barrio of Lanog, in con
nection with which O'Brien had said that
an unarmed boy had been fired upon by
the entire command; that three old men,
two of them bearing a flag of truce, had
been shot down, and that a woman and
two children had been burned to death,
he denied all the statements detailing
these supposed circumstances, but said It
was true that the barrio had been cap
tured and burned. It was a stockaded
stronghold of ladrones set on a hill and
considered inaccessible while the Span
lards controlled the country. "When his
trdops approached it the natives fired
first, but the place was taken. The Amer
icans occupied the town for hours, and
then, after giving ample notice of their in
tentions, had set fire to the place. If any
person was burned to death, he never had
heard of the fact. Nor had he ever given
any orders while approaching the place to
take no prisoners.
Precaution Against Smallpox,
WASHINGTON, May 26. As an ad
fiitional precaution against the develop
ment of smallpox on troopships, and to
assist the medical authorities at San
anclfico in determining the necessity of
letentlon and observation of troops at
hat point, Lieutenant-General Miles has
Urected tnat troops ordered to the Philip
pines shall be provided with certificates
ihowlng that they were Inspected before
leavlnc their respective stations, and -were
protected from smallpox. It was also or
dered that no recruits shall be sent from
San Francisco until they have been under
jbservation long enough to develop any
Infectious disease to which they have been
jxposcd prior to enlistment.
Army Transport Statistics.
WASHINGTON, May 26. Secretary Root
today, agreeable to his promise, sent to
the Senate a further mass of information
respecting the Army transport service,
based on mall reports of officers stationed
outside of "Washington. Because of the
magnitude of the task, the Secretary finds
himself unable to submit Itemized vouch
ers for each expenditure, but the figures
produced show that the total cost of the
transport repair service to date is 9,936,-

Forest Fires In Colorado.
SALIDA. Colo., May 26. The worst for
est fires in the history of the -mountains
at the continental divide are raging in
the Collegiate range, and the Saugre de
Cristo. More than a dozen fires can.be
seenfrom l.ls clly. The water supply
and grazing grounds will be materially
Injured, and the loss of timber will ag
gregate a vast sum. The origin of the
fires Is unknown, but It Is suspected that
some of them were started by men who
wanted to avoid payment of etumpage
to the Government.
CHURCHES IN PHILIPPINES
Union of Protestants In the Arcni
pelagro Effected.
NEW TORK, May 25. The American
Bible Society has received from Its agent
In the Philippines, Rev. Jay C. Goodrich,
his annual Teport on the situation In the
islands, inclusive, of the circulation of the
Bible. He says:
"It was no child's play that confronted
either the civil or military authorities
here. When the Spanish Government offi
cials withdrew those who had shaped af
fairs remained, behind. Shaken loose by
the revolution, still this system clung, and
must be considered, conciliated and dealt
with before those who have suffered much
and protested long can be benefited.
Careful diplomacy has been necessary to
bring about anything like order. Negotia
tions for the settlement of tho land ques-

tlon have been carried on ovr slumber
Insr volcanoes of dlsanDOlntcd hatred.
"The educational department, which has !
startled the world by the boldness and
magnitude of Its plan, is tackling Its prob-!
lem with enthusiasm. 1
"The missionary forces have been great
ly augmented. The Baptists and Presby
terians on the Island of Panay are reach
ing many of the rural people at the mar- j
ket places, where they congregate from
mlleo la the Interior and are greatly In
terested In the teaching of the Bible. Dr.
Hall has a hospital at Ilo Ilo, and Is
proving that medical missions are profita
ble In spiritual results. At Damagueto
the SHIman Institute, under tho direction
of Rev. Mr, HIbbard, Is well established,
with a growing attendance.
"The United Brethren Church have es
tablished work at Vlgan, on the northern
part of the Island of Luzon, with head
quarters at Manila. The DUdple Church
has two representatives In Manila, where
English work Is under way. Work among
the Filipinos will begin shortly.
"The Methodist Episcopal Church has
opened work in Hagonoy, Bulacan Prov
ince; in San Fernando, Pampanga Prov
ince and Gerona, Tarlac Province, all on
the Island of Luzon.
"A union of the Protestant churches In
the archipelago was effected for the pur
pose of utilizing the missionary fdrces to
the best and greatest advantage by the
division of the field and tho open discus
sion of all questions of common Interest.
'The Evangelical Union of the Philippine
Islands' was chosen as the name, and a
committee was appointed which succeeded
In effecting a division of the field so that
for at least three years there shall be
practically no overlapping of the differ
ent missions. Provision was made for I
an executive committee, to which will be
referred any question of comity which i
mignt arise. At the first annual conven
tion of this organization representatives
from the entire field were heard and vital
questions affecting the whole field dis
cussed. "While the Filipino church has not the
unity and freedom from sectarianism
hoped for, and there seems little prospect
of inter-denomlnatlcnal schools and liter
ture, very -much has been accomplished
by the union of forces, and it Is hoped
that with the growth of the missions
there will be in thla field a working out
In practical shape of all tho growing,
world-wide feeling for the unity and har
mony of Christ's church.
"Outside tho people In Manila and its
environs there are none who are so ripe
for the ute of the Bible and who receive
It so eagerly as do the people of Pam
panga Province.
"We are In receipt of the first Gospel to
be translated Into the language of the
Cebuan group of the Vlsayan Islands.
Chaplain John A Randolph, of the United
States Army, with the assistance of com
petent native helpers, has nlth the utmost
care translated and thoroughly revised
tnis important manuscript, which has
been presented to the society without cost
by the chaplain and dedicated to the
North Mississippi Conference of the M. E.
Church, South. Printing for the Bible
Society has been done In Japan. The
total number of volumes published lo 71,
000. the total number of pages Is 5,270.000.
"Last year we reported the sale and gift
of 10,873 copies. This year the total cir
culation Is 49,672 copies. The sales In the
Manila, depository have been 423S copies.
When we consider the bitter opposition,
the unsettled condition of the country,
making It dangerous In the extreme to
venture into the interior without an es
cort, the great lack of roads and faclll-l
ties for travel, and the number of men
employed, the work accomplished certain
ly is marvelous."
Troops For Chlrin.nl.
COLON, May 26. The Colombian gun
boat General Plnzon, which arrived here
from Bocas del Toro Saturday, returned
to Bocas Sunday night with 800 soldiers
and a large quantity of ammunition. These
troops are destined for ChlriquI Grande,
where the Insurgents are still located. The
United States gunboat Machias Is coaling
here. She will probably return to Bocas
del Toro.

POLICY AN UNSAFE ONE
ISTHMIAN . GAXAL COMMITTEE OP
POSES HOAR'S BUUL.
Colombia Accused of Playing: fer De-
lnr "With the Object of Stearins
Property of French Company,
WASHINGTON, May 26.-Senator Mor
gan, from the committee on isthmian can
als, today submitted to the' Senate the
adverse report of that committee on Sen
ator Hoar's bill placing the selection of
a route for an isthmian canal in the
hands of the President. The committee
opposed the bill on the ground that It
makes no provision for further explora
tion of routes and leaves the President
to make a selection on the statement of
facts already ascertained. It Is contend
ed that "however safely the country may
rely on the wisdom and just discretion of
the executive, the policy is, not wise nor
safe as a. rule of government." The re
port discusses at length the protocols
with Columbia, Nicaragua and Costa
Rica, and it is stated incidentally that
TOWN AND HARBOR
... u
r r v4 m
Tr .
i :
Lucia, Is the nearest station for French and
Islands.
Colombian Minister Sllva was Invited to '
appear before the committee, but de
clined to do so.
Of tRe agreements with Costa Rica and
Nicaragua, It is said that "they are defi
nite and complete, as to the character
and scope ot the rights they have agreed i
to concede to the United States, and It is
argued that If they are ratified, nothing
will be left to do but to carry the agree
ment Into effect.
Colombia, on the other hand, Is charged,
with playing for delay, and It Is stared
that "to hold Colombia to her present
offer, It Is necessary, under article 27,
that ratification shall be exchanged with
in eight months from Its date, and the
practical impossibility of concluding all
the necessary arrangements provided for
in her proposition within eight months
shows that her most earnest purpose Is to
cause delay." It Is charged that Colom
bia does not, by her protocol, propose to
sell us the Panama Canal and railroad
property free of all existing claims, con
cessions and Incumbrances, but leaves us
to work out a title with the Panama
Company. The report adds:
"Colombia Is anxious to get rid of the
Panama Canal Company without giving
offenso to France, so that she can seize
and possess all the plant of the canal
company, all the lands and houses It owns
In Panama. Including the great hospital,
the machine shops, and wharves at Colon,
all the vast machinery in use by the
Panama Canal Company, the hospitals
and Mher houses, the palace built for De
Lesseps and his sons, and become owner
of it all. along with the Panama Railroad
Company, which reverts to her In 1966.
"If this convention should be adopted,
not only would delay attend the opening
of the canal, but the United States will
assume obligations to the world that it
will be Impossible to keep and relations
with Colombia that will deprive the canal
of all value to the United States, and
will make It a cause of Irritation that
must Involve the most serious conse
quences." "WILL BENEFIT THE COAST.
Advantages to Be Reaped by Holding:
the Philippines.
"WASHINGTON, May 26. Senator Bev
erldge, of Indiana, who has made two
trips to the Philippine Islands and the
Orient, sas that If the Republican poli
cies are continued the Pacific Coast Is
sure to reap Immense advantages. For
that reason, he thinks, it Is of especial
Interest that Oregon set the pace for the
rest of the country in. the elections In
June. He thinks that whle the Demo
cratic party could not prevent the on
ward march toward expansion and com
mercial development, it would retard It
a good deal, as a Democratic House elect
ed this Fall would no doubt endeavor to
stop everything that the Republicans
have done towardpaciflcation and stable
government In the Philippines. He saya
the $30,000,000 worih of good? which are
imported into the Islands every year
would largely come from the United
States thrpugh Pacific Coast channels, if
our present policies can be carried out.
Lands for Settlers.
The House today passed Representative
Moody's bill granting a pension of $12 a
month to Mary "Welch, of Ontario. Mr,
Moody today made a. favorable report on
his double minimum land bill, his bill
allowing wagon-road companies to select
lands in lieu of those in their grants
which have been patented to settlers, and
the bill allowing settlers who located on
lands within the conflict of the grant to
the Northern Pacific and The Dalles Mil
itary Road Company, and who were de
prived of their holdings by the decision
of 4hs Supreme Court in the case Of "Wil
cox against the Eastern Oregon Land
Company to have credit on other home
steads they may make for the amount
of time they resided on the original home,
steads. But all such claimants must re
side upon their new holdings for at least
one year, and all must make second en
tries within two years.

CLOUDBURST IN COLORADO
Flood In Fonntain River Does Dam
age at Pacblo.
PUEBLO, Colo., May 26. Scores of peo
ple living along the Fountain .River, in
this city, have moved to higher grounds
in' anticipation of the high water. About
3 o'clock this afternoon the first news of
the heavy rains about SO miles north
reached this city. It Is reported at Kel
ker a cloudburst covered the prairie with
from two to four Inches of water. Three
hundred feet of track of the Denver &.
Rio Grande was washed out near Foun
tain and Plnon, and railroad officials do
not know when travel can be resumed.
The Santa Fe track Is also reported dam
aged. All the telegraph wires were down,
but linemen sent from Colorado Springs
and Pueblo got the wires to working
about 7 o'clock.
The flood, which reached here shortly
after 8 o'clock, came down In a great
roaring breast of water, -tearing loose
everything In Its way. At Butte's Sta
tion, on the Rlo Grande, the section house
and other property was destroyed. From
there to this city not much of value could
be reached by the wave, and ample warn
ings had been sent ahead. But a number
Of tent dwellers disregarded it and had a
narrow escape. Two womn were com
pelled to cling to a tree several hours
amid the noisy waves. Several small
houses and tents were carried off. The
three large steel railroad bridges of tho
Santa Fe, Missouri Pacific and Colorado
Southern Rallroad3, all within a quarter
of a mile above tho mouth of the Fourf.
tain, were torn out and no trains will
be able to cross for sometime. The ap
proaches to the two city bridges on
Fourth and Eighth streets and those of
tho county bridge, north of the city,
were undermined and then torn out.
Storm Strikes Tcxarkana.
TEXARKANA, Ark., May 26. Texar
kana was hit by a wind and rain storm
today that did much damage. The
churches fared badly. The Christian
church, Oak-street Baptist church (ool
ored) and Methodist, church (colored)
were nearly blown down, and are ruined.
The Falrvlcw Methodist Episcopal
church, the latter one of the finest In
town, was badly damaged. The Odd Fel
lows' Hall, a big building, was shifted
over a fcot. Many business houses and
residences were damaged, and dozens of
dwellings under course of construction
were leveled.
This Is a very dangerous disease unless
properly treated. Statistics show that there
are more deaths from It than from scarlet
fever. All danger may be avoided, how
ever, by giving Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. It liquifies the tough mucus,
making It easier to expectorate, keeps the
cough loose, and makes the paroxyms of
coughing less frequent and less severe.
It has been used in many epidemics of this
disease with perfect success. For sale by

EXPLAINS HIS EDITORIALS
SENATOR PATTERSON SAYS HE HAS
BEEN CONSISTENT.
Resumption of the Philippine De-
hate-IIonse Devotes the Day is
District of Colombia Affairs.
WASHINGTON, May 28. Patterson, one
of the 'minority members of thelPhlllp
plne committee of the Senate, occupied
tho floor most of the day in a discussion
of the Philippine question. Patterson
quoted from the utterances of his news
paper, the Denver News, to show that he
consistently had advocated tho Independ
ence of the Philippines since December,
1S9S. He said the editorials quoted by
Foraker some days ago had been written
prior to that time. He discussed the
whole Philippine question, and several
lively colloquies occurred during the
speech. Foraker and Hoar had a brief
debate over President McKlnley's proc
lamation to 'the Filipinos. Sixty two pri
vate pension bills were passed.
Soon after the Senate convened Gallinger

and St, Vincent, and lies about
offered a resolution providing that the
judiciary committee of tho Senate should
make an Investigation into the subject
of lynchlngs with a view of ascertaining
whether there is any remedy for them.
Gallinger said he introduced the resolu
tion In full vjew of the fact that he might
be charged with precipitating a sectional
controversy, but nothing was further from
his thoughts.
He said lynchlngs were not confined to
the South. Horrible cases had occurred
in the North, and white men as well as
black had been the victims. During the
past 10 years 2638 lynchlngs had occurred
In the United States. If the strong arm
of the law could prevent such occurrences
he deemed It wise to do so. He read
the Associated Press account of the negro
burning In Texas a few days ago. He
said history did not furnish a more fiend
ish instance of mob wrath, and Foxe's
Book of Martyrs was tame In comparison.
The whole wretched business, he said,
was a disgrace to American manhood In
the light of which the alleged atrocities
In the Philippines pale Into Insignificance.
The Spanish inquisition did not furnish
a case exceeding that one In Inhumanity.
He apprehended that it would be said that
the Federal Government was powerless,
and that the states had exclusive juris
diction. If so, the American people de
sired to know It
Senator Bailey said he hnd no Idea of
being drawn Into any sectional contro
versy by tho Senator from New Hamp
shire, and he would be willing to have the
people Judge the men who perpetrated
such outrages. He desired, however, to
discuss the question whether the Gov
ernment had the right to go Into the sev
eral states and take charge of the peace
and of good order. He asked, therefore,
that the, resolution go over.
"There can be no objection," said
Bailey, "to a report from the judiciary
committee on the subject, because I am
suro there can be but one conclusion
reached by that committee. But, If In
the courso of Its Investigation, it should
undertake to parade before the country
all the lynchlngs and burnings that have
occurred In any section over a nameless
offense, and all the murders of women
and children, and all the abductions which
have occurred In other sections of the
country, the only result, It seems to me,
would be to make us think less of our
selves as a people and as a Nation, and
I have little disposition to Indulge in that
pastime myself."
The resolution went over. Subsequently
Culberson had read the story of the
burning of a negro near Leavenworth,
Kan., in Januarj't 1901, saying he wanted
the fact understood that these crimes oc
curred In other states than Texas. He
hoped the New Hampshire Senator, when
reciting examples of these atrocities In
the future, would not confine himself to
one state.
Hoar, chairman of the Judiciary com
mittee, said his committee had had the
subject under consideration, and the bill
considered had been reported by him
adversely. The matter had been consid
ered as a question of constitutional law
and duty.
The conference report on the fortifica
tions appropriation bill was agreed to
without debate.
The Philippine bill was then taken up.
and Patterson made a speech In oppo
sition to It. Patterson referred to the edi
torials from the Denver News which For
aker had read In the course of his speech.
These editorials strongly) urged the reten
tion of the Philippine Islands and advo
cated the Government's policy as to the
islands. Patterson said he was respbns
Ible for the utterances of the Denver
News then and now. Just prior to the
ratification of tho Paris treaty he had
changed his opinion, and since that time
had advocated strenuously the independ
ence of the Filipino people.
Patterson declared that after the cap
ture of Manila, a censored press, delib
erately guided by the powers In Wash
ington, had misrepresented the situation
In the Philippine Islands. He read some
extracts from editorials in the Denver
News since the time referred to, declar
ing that the most "sublimely grand and
National deed" which the United States
could perform would be to extend inde
pendence to the Filipinos. He urged that
Foraker had not been frank and candid
In his quotations from the Denver News.
Foraker resented the Imputation of d
lack of fairness. Patterson Insisted that
Foraker had omitted editorials which pre
sented the question In Its true light. For
aker said he had presented only such
editorials from Democratic newspapers as
had dealt ably and Intelligently with the
question, and, of course, he had no Inten
tion of reflecting upon the Senator from
Colorado.
Patterson declared that additional Usht
i . " l . -"H. ts
had been thrown upon the subject, and
editorials had appeared in his paper which
presented a different phase of the matter.
Tjiese had not been read. In justice, he
read them himself, declaring they were a
reflection on "the censored telegraph dis
patches" from the Philippines.
In answer to an. inquiry from Beveridge,
Patterson said he never, since December,
1898, had advocated the retention of the
Philippines by the United States. From
that time he had hoped for tho Fili
pinos' independence. Referring to the
opening of hostilities between the Ameri
cans and Filipinos on February 4, 1S99,
Patterson declared that somebody was
dictating the tenor of the news sent from
the Islands to the United States by Asso
ciated Press and other sources. He In
timated that It was the purpose to conceal
the facts regarding the situation.
In his argument, Patterson quoted from
a speech of Foraker, made in January,
1S99, to the effect that he had no sympa
thy with those who talked of 'making
war on Agulnaldo and his followers In
their struggle for liberty and Independ
ence." Foraker explained that the war
ho referred to was not a war between
the United States and the Filipinos, but
the war between Spain and the Filipinos.
Patterson held that could not be the case,
as Manila had fallen to tfea Americans
and the Spanish had been sent to their
homes. Foraker said his sympathies al
ways had been with the American troops,
and would be until the last gun had been
fired in the pending conflict.
Hoar asked Foraker to road the sen
tence in President McKlnley's proclama
tion which had been eliminated by Gen
eral Otis, lest it should bring on war. He
said General Otis arrogated extraordinary
authority to himself to suppress a part
of the proclamation and to substitute
a statement that would Indicate to the
Filipinos that they were to be granted a
full measure of liberty. Hoar said he re
alized the purity of purpose and the In
tellectual superiority of the Republicans
with whom ho differed on this question.
He would rather lose his right arm than
take the position he had taken, but he
was so constructed by his Creator that he
could not help It. (Applause.)
Foraker paid a high tribute to Hoar,
saying- that his colleagues esteemed him
highly, not only for his great ability, but
also for his lovable character.
Patterson, continuing, paid a notable
tribute to Governor Taft, Baying that a
better selection for his position could not
have been made. He said that it Gov
ernor Taft was removed, the greatest bul
wark against the oppression of the Fili
pinos would be removed.
A sharp colloquy arose between McCo
mas and Carmack, the former asserting
that abuse of the Army offlcera and men
was to be found In every speech almost
on the Democratic side. Carmack Insist
ed that not a single Democrat had abused
the Army. The question of veracity was
handed backward and forward between
the Senators, but did not get beyond the
parliamentary stage.
Dubois Interrupted to say that not a
Democratic Senator had abused the Army
as much as General Chaffee had in Asso
ciated Press dispatches from Manila,
made public today. The statement about
the "Waller court-martial by General Chaf
feo, Dubois said, was one of the blackest
pages In the history of the Army. He Gld
not think any Senator who had called at
tention to "outrages" could be accused
properly of vllllfylng the army.
McComas said General Chaffee had
made his comments simply on the acts of
one brave man when he was 111 and
scarcely responsible for what he did.
Foraker referred to the proclamation of
President McKlnley to the Filipinos and
to the change made in it by General Otis.
Hoar interrupted to refer to the assur
ance of President McKlnley to Andrew
Carnegie that In 20 days resistance In the
Philippines would cease. General Otis
knew the Filipinos would not submit, and
that the only way to keep the peace was
to tell them they were to have their In
dependence. "So," said Hoar, "General
Otis suppressed It, but General Miller,
who notoriously did want an attack, pro
duced it. and Agulnaldo met it with an
Instant speedy defiance"
Foraker urged that If the proclamation
had been Issued to the people of Ohio,
they would have regarded It as a declara
tion of war.
Sixty-two private pension bills were
passed, and after a brief executive ses
sion, tho Senate, at 5:35 P. M., adjourned.

COMPOUND
Will Eradicate From the Blood

of Disease.
As grains of sand maJce our lofty moun.
tains, drops of water the mighty ocean,
and as our masslvo buildings are made ol

velop Into serious ond fatal troubles If not
banished at once.
"We hear our friends complain dally of
rheumatic tendencies, sharp and darting
neuralgic pains, dyspepsia, pains In the
side and back, nervousness and sleepless
ness; and we see with out own eyes the
effects of Impure blood in facial blotches,
eruptions and sores. The little Ills and
pains of today build up the alarming and
fatal diseases that follow days and weeks
of neglect.
"Wise" and Intelligent people who have
looked Into the claims of Palne's Celery
Compound and followed Its remarkable
cures of relatives, friends and neighbors,
use It themselves with faith and confi
dence, to banish their symptoms of com
ing troubles, to cleanse the blood, to re
establish nerve force, energy and bodily
strength, so that they will be In condition
to withstand the enervating effects of
the coming hot weather.
