STUPID SUPERSTITION
Filippino Under Sentence Of Death,
Object Of Solicitude.
MANILA, March 11. An unusual
scene took place at Bilibid, the mili
tary prison today, when Governor
General Smith made a personal call
on Papa Isio, the black Pope of the
egros island tribesmen, who is con-1,
, . ,. . . ,
fined there under the sentence of
death. The constabulary are urging
Governor General Smith to commute
Isio's sentence to life imprisonment,
because they are certain that the mo
ment he is executed one of his fol
lowers claiming to be him resurrected
will start trouble in the mountains of
Negros. The officers of the consta
bulary declare that if he is kept in
prison where the members of his
occasionally can see him undergoing
punishment for his crime it will have
a deterrent effect upon future dis
orders among the tribesmen. Isio,
who seems to believe that he posses
ses supernatural powers, told Gover
nor Smith that he warred against
Spain but not the United States. He
denied the murders and plantation de
structions of which he stands convict

WQULDPAY BI6 SALARY
TO THE MAYOR
NAME $125,000 YEARLY AS
RIGHT PRICE IN NEW
YORK CITY.
NEW YORK, March 12. In order
to obtain for the office of Mayor of
New York, a man of sufficient merit
and honesty to carry out the changes
proposed in the new city charter,
promoters of an independent move
ment for the election of a "Purifield"
municipal ticket proposed to pay him
n annual salary of $125,000 a year,
or for the term of four years a bonus
of $300,000 over and above the regu
lar salary of the office. It is sug
gested that the difference be raised
by popular subscription. A state
ment issued by those active in the
movement, who as yet designate
themselves merely as tax payers,
says in part:
"Such a man for such a job should
be found among the younger genera
tions of the 'Captains of Industry.'
In commercial life such a man could
count his income in the hundreds of
thousands. Therefore let twenty
five public spirited citizens pledge
themselves anonymously so far as
the public is concerned to contri
bute every year during the next four
years an amount sufficient to produce
in the aggregate the sum of $125,000
a year.
If anyone accepts this unique offer
and is elected he must agree not to
be a candidate for reelection nor par
ticipate in any partisan politics dur
ing his incumbency Backers of the
plan assert that radical measures are
necessary because of almost six years
of the worst government that any

This is the Case With Many Astoria
People.
Too many Astoria citizens are han

relief but cannot reach the cause. To
eliminate the pains and aches you
must cure the kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kid

Can you doubt Astoria evidence?
Wm. Joyce, 412 Duane Street, As
toria, Ore., says: "At the time I
began using Doan's Kidney Pills, I
was enduring a great deal of suffer
ing. The secretions from my.kidneys
were so frequent as to cause me a
great deal of annoyance and as a re
sult of not getting my proper rest at
night, I would arise in the morning
tired and weak. The slightest exer
tion caused severe pains through my
back and hips and though I tried
liniments and plasters, I did not re
ceive relief. At last my attention was
drawn to Doan's Kidney Pills and I
procured a box at Charles Rogers &
Son's drug store. They entirely cured
me and I am now in good health."

STEPHENSON WILL CO IN
WASHINGTOMarch 12. -The
first business of importance to be
taken up by the Senate at the begin

Stephenson of Wisconsin. Im
diately after the Senate convenes the
certificate of the Governor of Wis

Stephenson's opponents is to post

New and Rid Youreelf .of .Thi i
Misery Forever. I
When your stomach is weak or
lacking in Gastric juice, anything
that you eat, no difference what it is,
will tour on your ttomach, raise the
bile and acids to cover your food
tike oil and water, causing indiges
tion, Dyspepsia, Stomach nervousness
and Belching of sour poisons, which
produce foul odor, naity taste, bil
ious headache, Heartburn, Intestinal
griping and make you an object of
misery. This is stomach trouble which
can not be overcome with ordinary
digestive medicine. It is caused by
fermentation of your food, which
will be remedied at once by Pape'
Diapepsin, a-preparation pleasant to
take and as harmless as candy,
though it will digest and prepare for
assimilation !r,' the blood all the
food you eat.
Indigestion is a result, not 1 cause
of your trouble. If the Stomach is
sour and unhealthy, your food be
comes tainted, and that's -vl-t is
causing the Indigestion and gas on
stomach and other miseries. Pape's
Diapepsin is an Antacid, most pow
erful digestive and thorough regula
tor for weak stomaches. These
Triangulcs will digest any kind of
food you eat and will cleanse the
stomach and intestines in a natural
way, which mfkes you feel fine five
minute afterwards.
Any good Pharmacy here will
supply you with a case of Pape'
Diapepsin for 50 cent. Just reading
about this remarkable stomach prep
aration will not help. You should
go now and get a case. Put your
Stomach in full health and by tomor
row you will forget the misery of
Stomach trouble. Your case is no
different from many others. It isn't
Stomach Nerves or Catarrh of the
Stomach, or Gastritis, or Dyspepsia.
It is Food rotting Food Fermenta
