ALLEN SOtEACENT GUT AFTER OUTLAWS tie nuns JIKHIO OF JOLO ABSORBS AT TENTION OF INSULAR GOVERNMENT. WASHINGTON, May ll.-The Philippine ogrvernmcnt has deter mined to take into custody a Moro qtlaw known throughout Suln arch ipelago as Jikiro of Jolo. For months many murders and robberies fcave been charged to this band and its leader. The recent outlawry has been so bold and extensive that the authorities decided to take extraor dinary steps to end it. A gunboat is searching among the smaller islands in the Sulu archipelago and land forces are tramping the mountains hoping to nsnare the outlaws into their hands. On March 12, Jikiro is reported to have led SO Moros in an attack upon the Constabulary bar racks at Siasi in the hope of procur ing arms and ammunition. The 22 aoldiers within, under command of Captain Dewitt and Lieutenant Ben net had an exciting time defending themseles in the darkness- The lome of N. N. Holmes, an engineer and planter, within sight of the bar racks was riddled with bullets, sever al entering a bundle of clothes that lad been left on his bed. A Greek ponge-fisher on the island of Latuan was subsequently attacked by the band, but escaped with his life. The murder of two white men named Wolf and Cornell, partners in a small trading business on the Island of Siminor is charged to the band. The thirty-two pieces and scattered over an area of several yards and that of Cornell was mutilated much in the same manner. HEAVY SOCIALIST ACCESS.

Instead the company has in augurated a comprehensive system of records which are at all times acces sible to the men and from which pro motions and dismissals from the ser vice will be made. The time, however, that engine or train men are called "on the capret" and lectured, and then laid off for non observance of the rules, has pas sed. In connection with the new system of discipline, drunkenness, disloyalty and insubordination are given as causes for immediate dlt rrflssal without appeal. The superin tendents are urged by circular to re port for entry all commendable act ions by employes so they may secure credit for efficient service. NEW THEATER FOR FRISCO.

I he judge explained his system yesterday as follows: "I have considerable leisure and when I hear that some alleged crim inal is in the County Jail I make it a point to call on him and perhaps leave him a few papers. A day or tWo later I visit him again and per haps leave him more papers. 1 re peat my visit at a seeming Interval and perhaps sit down and tatk to the offender in a friendly way. It usu ally turns out that by the time the District Attorn Is ready to file the information against tht prisoner I have him in a frame of mind where he is ready to plead guilty'. "Seventeen accused men pUitled guilty in Del Norte in the last two years through my ministrations. I find it takes less time to induce them to plead guilty than it does to try them in my court before a jury.

If you have a little Hyomei in haler (pronounced High-o-me) in your home you have a treasure. Into this hard rubber inhaler you c;in pour a few drops of Hyomei and, presto, you have the best little physi cian for catarrh, coughs, colds, bron chitis, croup and asthma, the world has ever known. When you breathe Hyomei you bring the healing virtues of the mountainous forests to your home You get the very same healing, anti septic air that you would breathe if you resided in the forests of pine and eucalyptus of inland Australia, where catarrh or consumption were never known to exist. If you have a Hyomei inhaler in your home, get a bottle of Hyomei for 50c If you have not an inhaler, ask for a complete outfit, which costs but $1, and includes an inhaler, a bottle of Hyomei, and simple instructions for use. Hyomei is sold and guaranteed by T. F. Laurin. Owl Drug Store to cure catarrh, asthma or bronchitis, or money back. It will relieve a cold in five minutes, and will break it up, in five hours, It gives most trratifv- ing relief to consumption sufferers, and is sold by leading druggists everywhere. formers before long, 'Kid Goodman has turned d'owrt an offer of $125 to box in Utica, N Y.
