CAPTURED BY FILIPINOS
JOHN 31. DEAJf TELLS EXPERIENCE
IN THE ISLANDS.
Large Audience of Boys Listens to
Story of His Narrow Escape
From Torture.
Evangelist John M. Dean addressed the
Junior department of the Young Men's
Christian Association and their Invited
friends yesterday morning; Three hun
dred and seventy boys were present. By
$:30 o'clock boys began to gather, eager
to hear Mr. Dean tell of his experiences
with Filipino bolomen, and by the time
appointed for the meeting the rooms were
well .filled with the freest, best-natured,
noisy crowd of boys that could be as
sembled. They amused themselves In all
sorts of ways until the singing began,
when they took a hand with a ready good
will and then became quiet to hear what
the speaker would say. A show of hands
indicated that somewhat over half of the
boys present were members of the as
sociation. As the doors were closed at
the appointed hour, a number were un
able to gain admittance.
John Fechter, general secretary of the
Salem Y. M. C. A., led the singing.
"My Country, 'TIs of Thee," proved the
most popular. Mr. Dean had been ad
vertised to tell the story of hia capture
when a Y. M. C A. secretary with the
American Army in the Philippines. He
said:
Work of Y. X. C. A. In tne Amr
"When the soldiers are in the field
.they need a great many things that the
Government does not supply them. The
Government arms them, feeds them and
clothes them, but frequently the troops
lack many conveniences for which no
provision is made In the military system.
. "The Army Y. M. C. A. in the Philip
pine Islands has been for the past three
years supplying the soldiers with tons of
reading matter, writing material, pro
viding entertainments, educational classes
and religious services, and renting build
ings at several points to provide the men
with facilities for social life. I was ono
of a number of men undertaking this
work, and made a practice of visiting the
more lonely garrisons in the Islands of
Panay and Luzon.
Delivers Foorth of July Addreait.
"On one occasion the soldiers of the
garrison at Leon, on tho Island of Panay,
Invited me to spend 'ne Fourth of July
with them and give them a patriotic ad
dress, and as I was at that time in Ilo Ho,
19 miles away, 1 started out in com
pany with three soldiers on foot to meet
the engagement. Although 1 had trav
eled the roads a good deal alone, hitherto
I had not been molested, although I had
heard more or less firing; but on this oc
casion we were provided with quite &
surprise.
"It was a very muddy day, and at noon
we halted, thoroughly tired. The Pacre
of the village of San Miguel kindly in
vited us to eat dinner with him. We
enjoyed the dinner very much, but while
we were eating word was sent ahead to a
band of insurgents lying up in the foot
hills of San Miguel that there were four
Americans in the village who would soon
pass over the trail, and warning them to
gather us in without folL Knowing noth
ing of this little plan, we resumed our
Journey In the 'afternoon and crossed the
first roll of foothills Into a. narrow, cup
like valley, through which the main road
to Leon ran.
Surrounded by Insurgents.
"We had hardly struck the Junction of
tho trail in the road when a rifle cracked
on the ridge to the right of us, and a
line of fire ran along the crest of the
hills on either sido and in advance, sound
ing very much like the exploding of a
bunch of gigantic firecrackers. As there
was no cover, we fell flat on our faces,
while the bullets cut through the air and
spattered around in the grass about us.
At last the firing became so heavy that
one of the men ran in the one direction
in which there seemed to be no enemy,
and succeeded in escaping the ring that
was closing in on us, but was captured
by another band of insurgents a half a
mile farther on, and was terribly tor
tured, being killed at last by having kero
sene poured over him and being burned at
the stake. The other two soldiers held
their ground some time, and, although
they could see no enemy (they could only
Judge the direction of the enemy by the
direction of the bullets that were fired),
opened fire and held tnem back for some
time. At last, however, seeing that we
would soon be entirely surrounded, we
made a desperate attempt t6 get away.
As soon as we sprang to our feet for
this attempt the fire Increased, and the
enemy showed their appreciation by loud
and vociferous cheering. In this running
fight I soon became separated from, my
two companions. In the attempt to dis
concert the aim of my pursuers I zig
zagged across the valley and thought at
the time that this was an excellent piece
of strategy, but ha"ve since been informed
by my soldier friends that this was a
dangerous mistake 'for,' said they, 'those
kahakaiks cannot hit the broad side of a
barn when they aim at it, but by zig
zagging you ran the risk of running into
their bullets.' It looked for a time as
though I would outdistance the enemy and
escape Into the mountains, and, seeing, a
ravine a short distance ahead filled with
bamboo growth, I ran to It; hoping to find
a temporary hiding place. But as I
poised myself to drop into it I saw sev
eral of the enemy waiting for me below,
and, realizing at last that I was entirely
surrounded, I fell flat on my face to
avoid making a good target, and waited
for the enemy to close up. My thoughts
at the time were anything but pleasant.
As my pistol had become choked with
mud through my stumbling In one of the
rice fields, resistance of any kind was out
of the question, and as surrender meant
a large risk of being boloed, I was far
from a happy state of 'mind. Remember
ing that there is always, however, some
chance for a prisoner and none for a
dead man, I determined to give up.
Mr. Dean Is Captured.
"When the nearest insurgents were
within speaking distance I called to
them, 'No qucro mas cambate' (No more
lighting for me, thanks). They immediate
ly covered me with rifles, the end of the
nearest muzzle looking to be fully the
size of an ordinary stovepipe, and others
closed up and searched me. One Filipino
seemed very anxious to put an end to roe
there and then, and brought his muzzle
threateningly against my ribs and fin
gered his trigger very suggestively, but
the commandante Interfered and assured
me of the best of treatment. I was
marched back under guard over the rice
fields to the spot where the firing had
begun, and there I found that my com
panions. Fish and Spencer, had not only
been captured, but had both been
wounded. Fish quite badly.
Unexpectedly Released.
"Here the insurgents gathered around
us, some 40 In number, and while we
bandaged up Fish, conferred together as
to what they should do with us. After a
considerable conference, to our great sur
prise, we were informed that we would
be released and be allowed to make our
way the best we could to the nearest
American garrison. This decision was
very welcome, as a good many American
prisoners had very recently beer! tor
tured, and we could harQly believe in our
pood fortune. After being In the hands
of the Insurgents not more than an hour
and a half, we wero allowed to depart
minus our arms and some Items of our
clothing, and, after shaking hands with
the insurgent outfit, wo resumed our un
interrupted journey, expecting any mo
ment to be shot in the back as we started
down the road from the enemy.
"We were pleasantly disappointed, how
ever. Fish soon gave out from loss of
blood. We were compelled to Improvise
e. litter and carry him into the nearest
garrison on It. Several pi the poorer
Filipino laborers helped us to do this.
"Our arrival In Leon caused same lit
tle sensation, and scouting parties were
immediately sent out to revenge our mis
fortunes, and succeeded in firing upon
the Insurgents as they retired, but doing
them nd great harm. Our own fire had
been very ineffective, only one man hav
ing been hit on the Insurgent side.
Visit of Insurgent Chief.
"An amusing feature of this little esca
pade was that when asked by the com
mandante of -the Insurgents what position
I Decupled I Informed him that I was a
preacher. This seemed to surprise him
very much, as we had exchanged some
shots, he being my most persistent pur
suer. And in order to prove the truth
of my statement some Tveeks later he
took off hia uniform and came down 14
miles through our lines to Ilo Ilo. See
ing me in zny office there and taking good
care not to be seen himself, he went
away satisfied that one American at least
had told him the truth. This Insurgent
officer has since surrendered, bringing in
with him 119 men, and is now a peaceful
citizen under American rule."
Mr. Dean then made an appeal to boys
NO RUSH TO GEORGE C.
(Continued from Pa 0.)
upon the pupils, and that should he be
elected he would revise the course of
study so as to lighten the burden for the
children. Superintendent Ackerman, the
present Incumbent and nominee for re
election, has gone upon the canvass with
his own course of study In his hand and
shows that he has recommended the elim
ination of certain parts of the text-books
where such shortening of the work will
not curtail the essentials of a .practical
education. He takes the position, how
ever, that in all the country and village
schools the work is not too heavy for the
pupils, and they are not Injured by too
much study. He admits that the "cram
ming" process may be in vogue in some
of the larger city schools, with disadvan
tage to the pupils, but, as is readily ap
parent, this defect is due to rivalry among
teachers In the accomplishment of results,
and not to the course of study. The fault,
if any, lies with tho teacher, who, in her

Emma Kern Marquam, wife
v of Judge P. A. Mxrquam, who
died at her home on Portland
Heights, Friday, May 2, was
born in Bloomington, III., Feb
ruary 22, 1835. She was the eld
est child of the late William
Kern and wife, and, while yet a
young girl, crossed the plains
with her parents, settling near
Portland, in 1S51.
Forv some time she attended
school at the old Portland Acad
emy, under Dr. Klngsley, and
on May 8, 1553, was united in
marriage to Judge P. A. Mar
quam, at her parents' home at
Cedar Mills. Ever after it wis
the custom to deck the Mar
quam home with Ivory-white
dogwood blossoms on each an
niversary of ihat happy day.
Shortly after their marriage,
Judge and Mrs. Marquam
moved to their new home in
Portland. The house still stands
an old landmark on the west
of the Marquam block. Here
two of their children were born,
and, later, the family removed
to the top of a fir-clad mountain which still beirs their name.
In this happy, pioneer home, stalwart sons and fair daughters can to
caff this state their own, till 11 had been born, and the family, num
bering 13, had no broken link till after all were .grown and wed but one.
The first to go was Mrs. Lockwood, In September, 1900.
Mrs. Marquam's Illness and death were due to abscess of the liver, and
after the first few hours of Intense suffering she passed into a semi
conscious condition and died at 2 P. M. on Friday, surrounded by her
sorrowing husband and children.
Mrs. Marquam was highly esteemed and greatly loved by all who knew
her well. She was a devoted wife and mother, a truo and womanly
womani whose greatest thought was of home and loved ones. Her early
years were spent in persevering toll, that those who followed might find
a happy home. . t
An artist of. no mean ability, she was a great lover of nature in all her
forms, choosing for her abiding place a spot surrounded by tree; md
birds and flowers, whose sermons she heeded well. She was ever thought
ful and generous, and her deeds of kindness to the poor and needy are
without number. "Her works do follow her."
Mrs. Marquim left a sister and a brother Mrs. E. Stanburrough
and Eldon Kern. Another brother. Captain J. W. Kern, died two years
ago. Her husband, children and a large number of grandchildren mourn
her departure. The sons and daughters are: Mrs. Penumbra Kelly, P.
A. Marquam, Jr.; William W. Marquam, Mrs. Thomas Prince, Mrs. C.
B. McLiughlin, U. S. G. Marquam, Mrs. Charles E. Hill, Mrs. C. C.
Newcastle, Mrs. A. K. Velton and Thomas A. Marquam, of Alaska.
FUSION IS BAD BUSINESS.
This Democrat Does Nqt Sn -sport the
Simon Combine.
That the Democrats are not entirely
unanimous In the support of a fusion for
office only, was a remark made yesterday
by a prominent member of that party.
Tho gentleman was a delegate to the
Democratic county convention. He said:
"I have always been a Democrat, and
claim to be yet, but I am not going to
have anything to do with this fusion
movement. The first thing our Democratic
county convention did was to abandon its
own principles by voting to fuse with a
faction of the Republican party. Now, I
claim to bo a Democrat for principle, not
for office, and I said the moment that vote
was taken, I am done with this whole
business.'
"There are other Democrats who feel
JuBt as I do. They are not politicians, nor
office-seekers, but are allied with the
Democratic party because they believe it
is right While I wish the Democratic
party success, I hope to Eee the fusionlsts
get their All of alliances with the Repub
licans. We have condemned the Republi
can party, and its principles, regardless of
factions, and It seems to me that we are
decidedly inconsistent In making a politi
cal combination with men whose political
beliefs we cannot and do not agree v.ith.
"No, do not mention my name In this
connection. As I said before, I am a
Democrat. I" may vote for Furnish this
time, because I admire a man who holds
his principles .sacred, but I hope in the
next succeeding election to be able not
only to vote, but to work for the Demo
cratic nominee. If my name wero pub
lished, people would say four years from
now that I am not a good Democrat.
"I don't consider Chamberlain a good
Democrat. He doesn't stand on his plat
form. On the contrary, he open'y contra
dicts the platform. If he will go back on
his party's pledges in one respect, will he
not In another? So, where can you be
cure you can depend upon him?"

Interest in the subject.
This afternoon at 4 o'clock Mr. Dean

AMUSEMENTS.
"David Garrlclt" Splendidly Given "by
E. S. Millard ut the Marquam.
Mr. R S. Wlllard last night closed an
engagement in Portland which, for artist
ic success, has neevr been surpassed. In
the brilliant comedy, "David Garrlck,"
and although recognition In Portland of
his splendid talents came late. It was
abundant, both in the form of a good
house, and an audience which was so de
lighted with the play that for fully a
minute after the last curtain had fallen
they stood in the aisles to demand that
tho star reappear.
Mr. Willard could not ask for a better
pjay than "David Garrfck," and the play
could not ask for a better actor than Mr.
Willard. In his courteous opening scene
with the girl whose father wants to break
her of the folly of loving an actor. In his
riotous mimicry of drunkenness In order
to carry out the father s designs, ven
though he has learned that the girl he is
dterustinir Is the drl he loes, and In the
1 touching scene with the daughter in the
last act, he does not tall snort or. me
least requirement. Funny as is his imita
tion of drunkenncts, his desire to sit on
the floor and his abomination for cocka
toos one can see in Mr. WWard's interpre
tation that poor Garrlck Is suffering keen
ly at the blow he Is striking at his pride,
and there Is opportunity for more than
laughter in a careful watching of that
wonderful quarter of an hour. Mr. Wil
lard was frequently Interrupted with sud
den and surprising bursts of applause,
especially when Garrlck bursts Into Shake
speare, shaking off his drunken frenzy
like snow and rising without a moment to
effect the transition to the highest
reaches of tragic declamation. Curtain
calls were numerous, and not until they
had called him back, twice were the peoplo
willing to quit the theater.
Tho surport was better than It haa been
at any time during the engagement. H.
Barfoot, as Ingot, did a spienaia piece oi
zeal to advance her pupils gives them
more work than they should do. Superin
tendent Ackerman also contends that
there Is more danger of giving children
too little than too much, thus helping
them to form iht habit of desultory read
ing and inattentive Btudy. Lack of out
door exercise is often the cause of what
ever trouble may exist, rather than over
study. No one has thought, and not even the
Democrats attempt to say, that they have
any hope of electing their candidate- for
State Treasurer. Secretary of State or
Justice of the Supreme Court. Nor, In
fact, do they make any pretensions of
hope of the defeat of Ackerman, who has
been by far the best man Oregon ever
had at the head of its educational sys
tem. The administration of State Treasurer
Mooro has not only been above reproach,
but it has met the unqualified commenda
tion of business men and newspapers ail
over the state. Among tho new features
which he has introduced into the Treas
ury Department is a system of keeping
the records, of notes given by borrowers
from the school funds. By his system he
can tell at the close of each day's work
the exact amount that Is standing out on
loans, can tell how much of the fund is
loaned in each county, and can ascertain
in an instant the amount due upon any.
particular not.
By diligent effort, he bss collected all
arrearages of interest on loans, thus not
only Increasing the annual apportionment
of school money, but making the loans
more secure by reason of the Interest be
ing paid up.
Secretary of State Dunbar has made his
strong hit with the tax-payers by closely
scrutinizing every claim that Is presented
at his office. While auditing these claims
he has saved the state thousands of dol
lars that would have been lost under
loose methods which have been known to
exist in some past administrations. By
pursuing this policy Mr. Dunbar has
aroused thd enmity of some who would
have been pleased to have their claims ap
proved as presented, but even these men
feel respect for a man who does his full
duty, and they will not oppose his reelection.

Good "Word for Supt. Ackerman.
PORTLAND, May 3. CTo the Editor.)
Every thoughtful man will admit that
it is deplorable that the office of Super
intendent of Instruction in any state

As one who does not live. In the state,
and who has no political prejudices, but
who Is profoundly Interested In the train,

with educators the country over, I wish
to call the attention of the citizens of Ore

present incumbent of this educational of
fice. There is no call for a change, how
ever excellent the opposing nominee mayJ

three sessions of the Legislature, and his
defeat would be a great misfortune. How
ever, such a thing Is not possible, for his
opponents cannot muster sufficient
strength to down him. He has estab

and certainly deserves re-election.
"Tho other members of our Legislative

Hard. Work Sometimes to Raise Chil
dren. Children's taste is oftimes more ac
curate in selecting the right kind of food
to lit the body than that of adults. Na
ture works more accurately through
the children.
A Brooklyn lady says, "Our little boy
has long been troubled with weak digest
tion. We could never persuade him to
take more than one taste of any kind of
cereal food. He was a weak little chap
and we were puzzled to know what to
f feeoV him on. Ono lucky day we tried
Grape-Nuts, w ell you never Baw a cnua
eat with such a relish, and it did me
good to see him. From that day on It
seemed as though we could almost see
him grow. He would eat Grape-Nuts
for breakfast and supper and I think
he would have liked the food for din
ner. "Tho difference in his appearance is
something wonderful.
"My husband has never been known to
fancy cereal foods of any kind, but he
became very fond of Grape-Nuts and
has been much Improved in health since
using it.
"A friend has two children who were
formerly afflicted with the rickets. I
was satisfied that the disease was
caused by the lack of proper nourish
ment. They showed" It. So I urged her
to use Grape-Nuts as an experiment and
the result was almost magical. They
contlnued the food and today both chil
dren are well and strong as any chil
dren in this city, and, of course, my
friend Is a arm believer In the right
kind of food, for she has the evidence
before her eyes every day.
"When I have some task to perform
about the house and don't feel very
strong, a saucer of Grape-Nuts and
cream stimulates me and I am able to do
the task at band with ease.
"We. arc now a healthy family and nat
urally believe In Grape-Nuts." Name

great, many), and never build up broken-down organs.

cure Weak Back, Rheumatism, Nervous Debility, Stom
