baa been struck by another hot wave,
and the state is now enjoying regular
summer weather. Seventy degrees in
the shade in San Francisco is unusual

How to Prevent Pneumonia.
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 yeara ago
when so many bases 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 Grippa to result in that daDgereus
disease. It is the best remedy in the
world for bad colds and La Grippe.
Every bottle warranted. For sale by

La Grippe Successfully 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 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 second attack I am satisfied
would have been equally as bad as the
first but for the use of this emedy as 1
bad to go to bed in about six hours after
being 'struck' with it, while in tbe first
case" I was able to attend " to ' business
about two days before getting: 'down.' "

Washington, Feb. 17. The adminis
tration has determined rapidly to ex
tend the jurisdiction the United States
o.ver tbe Philippine group in its en
tirety, acting on the theory that delay
in this crisis is dangerous, and that an
archy and general paralysis of such in
terests as the islands support would be
brought about through failure to prompt
ly replace Spanish sovereignty over the
islands with that of tbe United Statee .
This decision involyes the necessity of

tuted as soon os Dewey receives rein

Filipinos Seek Refuge at Manila. u
Manila, Feb. 17. 11 :50 a. m. Ex-
Consul of United States O. F. Williams,
is in receipt of application from a mem
ber of the insurgent congress,' at Malo-
los, for a pass through - the American
lines for a family of twelve persons, who
are desirous of taking refuge in Manila.
This is regarded as significant, as show
ing that the moet intelligent rebels re
alize that their families are safe only
within American territory.
With the exception of a few shots
fired into a small body of rebels, who
were attempting to destroy a railroad
bridge near Calocau, all has been quiet
along the line.
Last night the heat affected the men
in the open country to some extent, but
otherwise the health : of -the troops
shows marked improvement since the

More Snow in Colorado.
" Aspen, Colo., Feb. 16. It has been
snowing for tbe past thirty-six hours
hhere, and tbe conditions surrounding
the camps are further complicated.
While railroad traffic has been partly
resumed, mountain trails to the outlying
camps are about all blocked by immense
slides of snow drifts to a depth of many
feet.': At Independence about a dozen
people are still hemmed in with two
teams, and the problem of their getting
out is becoming more difficult every
day. Miners at Ashcroft have not been
heard from for a " month, and their
friends here are greatly concerned about
their safety. The snow fall in camp
has been the heaviest in fifteen years.
People continue moving out from nnde
the frowning peaks of the Aspen
mountains.
