Rebels Made a Stand Behind Intrench

Kansas Troops Led Bj Colonel
Funston. '
Washington, Feb. 8. The war de
partment to Jay received the following
dispatch:
Manila, Feb. 8. The situation ia rap
idly improving. A reconnoisance was
made yesterday to tbe south several
miles to Laganade bay, and to the south
east eight miles, our troops driving the
straggling insurgents before them. The
troops in various directions encountered
no decided opposition. The native army
is disintegrated and the natives are re
turning to the villages displaying white
flags.
Near Caloocan, six miles north of here,
the enemy made a stand behind in
trench ments, and were charged by. the
Kansas troops led by Colonel Funston.
There was a clese encounter, resulting
in the rout of the enemy with heavy loss
The loss to the Kansas regiment was
Lieut. Alford killed, and six men were
wounded.
On the 4th Aguinaldo issaed a procla
mation charging the Americans with
having taken the initiative and declared
war. His influence throughout this
section is destroyed. He now applies
for a cessation of hostilities and a con
ference. - I have declined to answer
him.
The insurgents' expectation of a rising
in the city on the night of the 4th was
unrealized. The provost marshal-general,
with the admirable disposition of
his troops, defeated every attempt that
was made.
The city is quiet. Business has been
resumed. The natives are respectful
and cheerful. The fighting qualities of
the American troops are a revelation to
all the inhabitants.

There is only one way to cure deafness
and that ia by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, aud when it is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever ; nine caws out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but anjn
flamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh

Bis Life W an Bared.
Mr.-' J. E. Lilly, a prominent citizen
of Hannibal, Mo., lately had a wonder
ful 'deliverance from a frigbtlul death.
In telling of it he 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 np in
bed. Nothing helped me. I expected
to soon die of consumption, when'!
heard of Dr. King's New Discovery.
One bottle gave great relief. I con
tinned to use it, and now am well and
strong. I can't say too much in its
praise." This marvellous medicine is
the surest and quickest care in the world

La Grippe SacoeHfalljr .Treated.
"I have just recovered from the sec
ond attack of La Grippe this year," says
Mr. 'Jas. A. Jones, publisher of the
Leader, Mexia, Texas. "In the latter
case I uBed 'Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy, and I think with considerable suc
cess, only being in bed a little over two
dayB against ten days for the former at
tack. The second attack I am' satisfied
would have been equally as bad as the
first but for the use of this emedy as I
had 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.' "

John Marshall, of Lebanon, Receives
Fatal Burns While Intoxicated Last
Monday.
Lebanon, Feb. 8. John Marshall,
aged 65 years, died at his home,1 seven
miles east of the city, Monday night,
from the effect of burns received during
the partial destruction of bis home by
fire early Sunday morning. Marshall
was in Lebanon Saturday, and it is said
he drank considerable, and also pur
chased a quantity of liquor and . took it
home with him. He was not seen again
that day.
The next morning John Craf,a neigh
bor, called at his place and receiving
no answer to hia knock, opened the door
and walked in. He found Marshall in
bed with his clothing almost burned off,
his left side burned to a crisp, and his
head singed. The floor was in flames
and Craft extinguished the fire. Med
ical aid for the injured man was at once
summoned, but all efforts to s-ve his
life were futile, and be died within
thirty-eight hours after be . was found
by Craft.
Marshall had lived near here for many
years, was a hard working man, . was
possessed of considerable property and
was unmarried. So far as known be
has no relatives. How he received bis
injuries is unknown, but it is supposed
that while intoxicated he fell against the
stove and his clothing was ignited by
the sparks.
How to Prevent Fneamonia.
You are perhaps aware that pneu
monia always results from a cold or from
an attack of La Grippe, - During the
epidemic of La Grippe a few years ago
when so many cases resulted in pneu
monia, it was observed that the attack
was never followed by that disease when
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy was used.
It counteracts any tendency of a cold or
La Grippe to result in that dangerous
disease. It is the best remedy in the
world for bad colds and La Grippe.
Every bottle warranted. For sale by
Blakeley. & Houghton, druggists.

supported by the German officers.
On December 31st, the chief justice
decided that Mataafa was ineligible for
election and that Malietoa Tanus was
king. The American and British con
suls immediately recognized the. new
king. The German consul and president
declined to recognize Tanus, and went
over to the other, who bad 3000 men un
der arms. Malietoa lacked ; arms and
ammunition. ' '
In a few hours the rebel forces bad
surrounded -the residence of the chief
justice, which was guarded y 200 loyal
natives, and Capt. Sturdy of H. M. S.
Porpoise, lauded thirty marines.
The residence was barricaded and the
men stood to their arms all night, when
the chief justice and bis family were
taken to the beach. Fighting was ex
pected to commence at any moment and
the British and American consuls did all
they could to prevent hostilities. A re
newal of the fighting is expected. '

FOUND GUILTY
Was Charged With Buying Horses That
Had Been Stolen.
Pendleton, Or., Feb. 8. A Verdict of
"guilty as charged in the indictment,"

the case of William Hanna. Hanna was
indicted for receiving and buying fifty-
two head of horeee which he knew at
the time had been Stolen from Peter
Nelson, an Echo stock man, and shipped

be retried, and the remains Gas Hill
and Jack Ogg to be tried on the same

CANADA SE
CURES A PORT
News That the American Joint High
Commission Has Agreed to Cede
Fully Confirmed.
Seattle, Feb. 8. A report from
Washington that the subcommittee of
the American members of the joint high
commission would concede a port on
Lynn canal, Alaska, to Canada in return
for fishing concessions on the Eastern
coast, aroused considerable resentment.
"The American members of the joint
high commission have about made up
their minda to cede a port to Canada on
the Lynn canal," said E. O. Graves,
president of the chamber of commerce
last night.
"There can be no doubt of it," be
added. "I bad a. telegram last night
from Congressman - W. L. Jones, of
Yakima, that this course would be
adopted, and today several telegrams
have been received that corroborate the
information beyond any question.
"During the day a number of the
leading business men, in addition to the
chamber, have been using every effort
to counteract the determination that
has been arrived at, and quite a number
of telegrams have been sent to Pacific
coast senators and representatives, to
tho American members of the commis
sion, Governor Brady, and in short,
every one calculated to lend an influence
against the ceding of any territory on
Lynn canal.
Other leading business men voiced the
sentiments expressed by Mr. Graves
and said, in strong terms, that such a
proposition to cede American territory
would work serions barm to the com
merce of the Pacific coast.
In Olden Times
People overlooked the importance of
permanently beneficial effects and were
satisfied with the transient action ; but
now that it is generally known that
Syrup of Figs will permanently over
come habitual constipation, well in
formed people will not buy other laxa
tives, which act for a time, but finally
injure the system. Buy . the genuine,
made by th'e California Fig Syrup Co.
. La Grippe is again epidemic. Every
precaution should be taken to avoid it.
Its specific cure ' is One Minute Cough
Cure. A. J. Shepard, publisher Agri
cultural Journal and Advertiser, Elden,

ed in using One Minute Cough Cure for
La Grippe." Pleasant to take, quick to
