the Interior Said to Be In Dire
Straits at Present.
Hong Kong, Feb. 16. There is a
rumor here that Aguinaldo is ready to

Skirmish Along the Outposts.
Manila, Feb. 16. Four companies of
volunteers, which had been clearing the
country in the vicinity of Pateros, ten

the Filipinos in the interior are in. sore
straits, and are now quarreling among
themselves, but it is impossible to con
firm these leports, as all communication
is now cnt off.

Aguinaldo, and Filipino'minister of war,
was killed during the fighting at Calocan

by the finding of a general's sword be
side the railroad sheds.

Paid In Historic Scrip.
Stanton, Or., Jan. 15, An interesting
story follows the death J. W. Worden,
whici occnrred a few days ago at
Union Hill. For thirty years the aged
doctor had been saving money to pay
bis funeral expenses, and before his death
its hiding place was disclosed to the
tamily. The treasure was buried in the
earth, and when found contained a large
earn of fractional paper currency and
greenbacks. An idea of the methods of
the deceased will e gained when it is
Btated that Undertaker W. E. Thomas,
of Stayton, was paid $6 of his fee in Lin
coln scrip of the denomination of ten
cents, besides other amounts of the
historic currency. Worden came here
from Kansas shortly after the war.
CATARRH OF
THE STOMACH
A Pleasant, Simple: but Safe and Ef
fecual Cure for It
Manila, 1 Feb.' 16. Two natives at
tempted to slip past the United States
cruiser Olympia dnring the night in a
boat. They failed to respond when
hailed and kept paddling on. After a
warning shot, the sentry fired at the boat
killing one of the occupants and wound
ing the other.
Montreal, Feb. 16. Agoncillo, in an
interview, said there would be no let up
in the efforts of the Filipinos to force
the Americans from their country. He7
said he was not at all surprised that
Iloilo had fallen, as the Americans had
the advantage of a fleet. . ''But wait un
til they get into the interior," he said,
"and then they will have more than
their work cut out." " '.
He announced that the ' purpose of
Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are a full or bloat
ing sensation after eating, accompanied
sometimes with sour and watery risings,
a formation of gases, causing pressure
on the heart and lungs ' and difficult
breathing; headaches, fickle appetite,
nervousness and a general played out
languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the mouth
coated tongue and if the interior of the
stomach could be seen it would show a
slimy, inflamed condition.
The cure of this common and obsti
nate trouble is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily, thor
oughly digested before it can to ferment
and irritate the delicate- mucuB surfaces
of the stomach. To secure a prompt and
healthy digestion is the one necessary
thing to do, and when normal digestion
is secured the catarrhal condition will
have disappeared.
According to Dr. Harlanson the safest
and best treatment is to use after each
meal a tablet, com posed of Diataee.Asep
tic Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden Seal
and fruit acids. These tablets can now
be found at all drugstores under the
name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and
not being a patent medicine can be used
with perfect safety and assurance that
healthy appetite and thorough digestion
will certainly follow their regular use af
ter meals.
Mr. N. J. Eoober, of 2710 Dearborn
street, Chicago, 111., writes: "Catarrh
is a local condition resulting ronti a
neglected cold in the head, wbereby the
lining membranes of the nose ' become
inflamed and the : poisonous discbarge
therefrom passing backward into the
throat reaches the stomach, thus pro
ducing catarrh of the stomach. Medical
authorities prescribed for me for three
years for catarrh of the stomach without
cure, but today I am the . happiest of
men after using only one box of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. I cannot find ap
propriate words to express my good feel
ing. ; I have found flesh, appetite and
sound rest from their use." - '
... Stuart's Dyspepsia. Tablets is the safest
preparation-as well as the simplest and
most convenient remedy for any form of
indigestion, catarrh of the stomach,
billiousness, sour stomach, heartburn
and bloating after meals.

stomach tronbles, by addressing Stuart
Co., Marshall, Mich. The tablets can

lieve that everything is getting along

Uprising in Manila Is Prevented.
Manila, Feb. 16. An uprising of the
natives was expected in the city last
night, but during the afternoon ' the
troops of the Second Oregon and the
Thirteenth Minnesota arrested one hun
dred and fifty natives, and this together
with the fact that the city guards were
doubled, evidently dishearled the ring
leaders. , This information, derived from
authentic sources, leaves no doubt, how
ever, that an outbreak .was really
planned.' ". - -

an attack of -La Grippe. ; During the
epidemic of La Grippe a few years ago
when so many, cases resulted in pneu

was never followed by that disease' when
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy was used.
It counteracts any tendency of a cold or

VICTORY FOR
SIDE OF RIGHT
A STRUGGLE
V. FOR RIGHT
Passage of the Daly Text-Book BHI
Places the Book Trust in Fair
Competition With Other Sellers. V
reatest Battle of tlie Session Ended as
It Should.
Salem, Feb. 16. There is little ques
tion that the greatest battle of the ses
sion has been between the friends of the
Daly text-book bill and the A merican
Book Co., and the dramatic scenes en
acted in the house yesterday as the
straggle was drawing to a close were
not entirely unexpected.
It has been a struggle between princi
ple and the best interests of the public
schools on the one hand, and a book
trust that has been charged, either
rightfully or wrongfully, with levying
tribute on the schools, on the other.
This tribute, according to the allegations
of those who have been in the thickest
of the fight in opposition to the con tin
nance of the book truet influence,' has
been predicted both upon the exceesive
prices charged for the school books and
the poor quality of the books themselves.
Now that the back of this so-called hy
dra-headed octopus has been broken, a
more successful future for the education
al work of the Btate is predicted.
The American Book Company, against
which so much has been said, is Btill in
the ring, but only in competition with
other publishing housee. It is now a
free-for-all fight for preference and the
books that may in the future be adopted
will have to win on their own merits.
There is no denying the fact that the
American Book Company has done its
utmost to defeat the Daly bill, and this
fact perhaps, coupled with its cheap and
useless lobby, has operated in the suc
cess of the bill. The paid agents of the
book company have had little influence
on the members of the house and the
bill might ' prebaps have been much
more easily defeated had they kept out
of the fight. As one member remarked
yesterday., "Such a lobby of itself is
sufficient to defeat any bill."
Had this fight culminated earlier in
the session sensational developments no
doubt would have followed the charges
of bribery and corruption yesterday
made by Flagg and others upon the
floor of the house. '
Representative Fordney claims he has
always been opposed to the Daly bill,
but Editor Hoter, of the Capital Journal,
contends otherwise. - '
