THEY GAINED
AN EMPIRE
Confess Hears of the Deeds of Indian
War Veterans.
MEMORIAL
PRESENTED
The Paper Was Adopted by the Oregon
House on January 13th, and Con
curred in by the State Senate Just
Three Days Later.
Washington, Jan. 28. Representa
tive Tongue baa presented to tbe house
of representatives a .lengthy memorial
from, tbe Oregon legislative assembly,
setting forth tbe reasons why tbe bill
granting pensions to Indian war veter
ans should be passed, and urging him,
as well as the other members of the
delegation, to use every effort to secure
the passage of that measure. The me
morial is somewhat historical in its rec
itations, setting forth at some length the
. following facts.
That tbe original territory of Oregon,
comprising what are now the states of
Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and a part
of Montana, was first settled by pioneers
who crossed tbeRocky andSierra Nevada
mountains, experiencing many hard
ships and perils, and gave to the union
a vast empire of fertile soil, whereon
now reside millions of citizens.
This section was preserved to the
United States by the energy, persever
ance and undaunted bravery of the pio
neers, who were surrounded on all sides
by treacherous Indians, and underwent
Beveral Indian wars and numerous inas
sacers from 1847 to 1857, bearing the
brunt of the straggle manfully and
alone as they received no assistance
from the general government. As a re
sult of these wars, many of the settlers
lost their lives, many others received
wounds of greater or less severity, while
all who now survive are men now well
advanced in years, and but scarcely able
to support themselves and their families.
Most of them are not expected to live
much longer, and it will soon be too late
to render them any assistance assist
ance which they so much deserve. The
government has recognized the services
of those who fought in all its wars here
tofore, and has pensioned the veterans
liberally. The memorialists therefore
ask that the pioneers who went to Ore
gon in the early ' days and had such
numerous and deadly encounters with
the Indians, tbey whose services were
great, whose load was hard, and whose
accomplishments and achievements were
so vast, should receive the same recog
nition from the government as those
who fought in other wars. They ask
that the same pensions as are allowed
veterans of the Mexican war be allowed
the Indian war veterans, deeming euch
a step but justice.
Copies of the memorial were sent to
all tbe members ef the delegation, and
each copy was accompanied by a request
for Buppoit of the Indian war veteran
- bill. The paper was adopted in the
Oregon house on January 13th, and con
curred in by the senate three days later.
Ills Life Wag Saved.
Mr. J. E. Lilly, a prominent citizen
of Hannibal, Mo., lately bad a .wonder
ful deliverance . from a frightlul death.
In telling of it be says: "I was taken
with typhoid fever, that ran into pneu
monia. My lungs became hardened. I
was so weak I couldn't even sit up in
bed. Nothing helped me. I expected
to soon die of consumption, .when I
heard of Dr. King's New Discovery.
Une bottle gave great relief. - I con
tinued to use it, and now am well and
strong. I can't say too much in its
praise." This marvellous medicine is

NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to Know
What Appetite and Good Digestion
Means.
MAKE A TEST OF STUART'S DYS
. PEPSIA TABLETS.
No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspapBia .
People having it think their nerves are
to blame and are surprised that they
are not cured by nerve medicines. The
real eeat of the mischief is lost sight of.
The stomach is the organ to be looked
after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in tbe stomach, nor
perhaps any of the symptoms of stom
ach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia shows
itself not in the stomach so much as in
nearly every organ. In some cases the
heart palpitates and is irregular ; in oth
ers tbe kidneys are effected ; in others
the bowels are constipated, with head-

aches ; still others are troubled with loss
of flesh and appetite with accumulations
ofi as, sour risings and heartburn.
It is eafe to say that Stuart's Dyspep
sia Tablets will cure any stomach weak
ness or disease except cancer of tbe
stomach. They cure Bour stomach, gae,
loss of flesh and appetite, sleeplessness,
palpitation, heartburn, constipation and
headache.

How be found relief is best told in hiB
own words:
"Some weeks ago my brother heard
me say something about indigestion, and
taking a box out of his pocket eaidl 'Try

was promptly relieved. Then 1 investi

10WA REGIMENT
RECALLED
No Illness on Board the Transport
The Natives Are Intent Upon
Plundering.
Manila, Jan. 28. Otis has recalled
the Fiftv-first Iowa volunteers from Ho
lie. This la done in order that the
transport Pennsylvania, on board of
which the regiment is, and has been
most of the time since she left Manila,
may be repaired. The eighteenth in
fantry and the Sixth artilery will re
main at Ilo Ilo indefinitely.
New York, Jan. 28. A special to the
Herald from Manila says :
There ia no illness on the transports at
Ilo Ilo. The Fifty-first Iowa regiment
is returning to Manila on tbe Pennsyl
vania, and will arrive tomorrow. A na
tive commission from there comes on
the transport to consult with Aguinaldo;
Influential natives wish tbe Americans
to land. The rabble army are kicking
and want to loot tbe town. "They have
already burned several villages near Ilo
Ilo.
Tbe lower classes in the islands of
Cebu and Negios are reported to be at
tacking landed proprietors and looting
estates.
Manila is quiet. The general health
of the troops is good.
The island of Mandanao is overrun by
Moroa.' Tbe Spaniards are concentrated

I. a Urlppe Successfully Treated.
"I have just recovered - from the eec
ond attack of La Grippe this year," says
Mr. Jas. A. Jones, publisher of the
Leader, Mexia, Texas. "In the latter
case I used Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy, and I think with considerable suc
cess, only being in bed a little over two
days against ten days for the former at
tack. The eecond attack I am satisfied
would have been equally -as bad as the
first but for the nee of this' emedy as l
bad to go to bed in about six hours after
being 'struck' with it, while in the 'first
case I was ' able to attend ' to business
about two days before getting down.'

ANOTHER SPAN
ISH ROORBACK
Dewey and Otis Enemies, and Ameri-
cans Generally Bad.
Barcelona, Jan. 28. The Manila cor
respondent of the Diario says be has dis
covered that the relations between Gen.
Otis and Admiral' Dewey are most
strained, owing to the profound rivalry
which exists between the land and sea
forces. .
The administrative morality of tbe
Americans," says the correspondent, "is
below par. The gambling hells of Ma
nila are taxed $1200 each, and the police
are highwaymen, who make arbitrary
arrests and then demand from ten to
twenty dollars for the release of their
prisoners."
The correspondent also .claims that
the Americans have monopolized all the
trade, and swamped the market with
their products, rendering European
competition impossible. As an instance
of this he allesee that California, wines
are sold in Manila as genuine Bor
deaux.
