GOVERNOR GEER'S
LOYAL MESSAGE
Orepn Says. "No Snrrenier In lie
Philippines."
CONFLICT IS
FOR LIBERTY
Stinging Rebuke to Those Who Are
Aiming to Thwart McKinley's
Policy.
Salem, Or., April 14. Governor Geer
this morning received the following tele
gram from the Chicago Tribune :
"The governors of South Dakota and
Nebraska are demanding the recall of
the volunteers from their states from the
Philippines, on the ground that their
term of enlistment expired when the
ratifications of the peace treaty were
exchanged, and that the present conflict
in the Philippines is in opposition to
liberty and in the Interest of capitalism.
Do the people of your state demand the
return of your volunteers for the same
reasjnB?"
Tonight the governor telegraphed the
following reply :
'There is quite a general wish among
the people of Oregon that the volunteer
soldiers of the state may soon be returned
from Manila, but not for the reason in
dicated by the governors of the states
you mention, to-wit., that 'the present
conflict in the Philippines is in opposi
tion to uoeny ana in me interest, 01 cap
italism.' "There is somes juatice In asking for
the return of the volunteers, now that
the war with Spain, for which they en
listed, has been. honorably concluded,
and that the spasmodic difficulty yet
lingering in the Philippines should be
suppressed by (he regnlar army of the
United States, which is amply equipped
for the purpose. It is believed, however,
that this wish is con6ned to those of us
who are at home, as the Oregon bovs at
the front quite generally express a de
sire to remain there until the difficulty
is settled,
"Oar people take no stock in the de
claration that the conflict in the Phil
ippines Is 'waged in opposition to liberty
and in the interest of capitalism.' The
very men who make this charge now are
the ones who, little more than a year ago,
were loudly accusing President McKin
ley of 'cowardice' and of delaying the
war with Spain in the 'interest of capit
aliem,' as represented by Spanish bond'
holders.
"The seizing of the Philippines was
an incident of that war wholly unfore
seen by anybody, applauded by every
patriotic citizen at the time, and they
could not now be relinquished without a
taint on our national honor and a con
fession of national weakness.
"The charge that the American flag is
waying over a conflict in the Philippines
'in opposition to liberty and in the in
terest of capitalism savors very much
of a spirit of demagogy to which the
people of Oregon are habitual strangers,
and which finds no lodgment in their
minds at this time. T. T. Gekr,
"Governor."
Clearwater Tuesday. He owned a fine
farm seventy-five miles above Lewiaton,
on the Clearwater,- and while on the
way to that place on foot he was caught
in a snowalide which carried him . into
the river He was expected at his place
on Tuesday last, and on Thursday a
messenger started down the river in
search of him. His tracks were found
leading to the track of the snowslide,
and they never left the slide. There can
be no doubt about his fate, He passed
the home of a friend on Tuesday, and
would have reached his farm on that
day if he had not been caught in the
avalanche. He leaves a sitter in this
city.

Was Once the Metropolis of Okanogan
County.
Dr. Eed well relates an interesting ac
count of what be considers a remarkable
cure of acute stomach trouble and
chronic dyspepsia by the use of the new
discovery, Smart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
He says : "The patient was a man
who baa suffered to my knowledge, for
years with dyspepsia. Everything he
ate seemed to sour and create gases in
the stomach ; he had pains like rheuma
tism in the baok, shoulder blades and
limbs, fullness and distress after eating.
poor appetite and loss of flesh ; the heart
became affected, caueing palpitation and
sleeplessness at night. '
"I gave him powerful nerve tonics
and blood remedies, but to no purpose.
As an experiment I finally bought a
fifty cent package of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at a drug store and gave them to
him. Almost immediately relief was
given and after he had used four boxes
he was to all appearance, fully cured-
"There was no more acidity or sour
watery risings, no bloating after meals,
the appetite was vigorous and he has
gained between 10 and 12 pounds in
weight of solid, healthy flesh.
"Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are advertised and sold in drug stores,
yet I consider them a moBt valuable ad
d'tion to any physician's line of rem
edies, as they are perfectly harmless
and can be given to children or invalids
or in any condition of the stomach with

essences, pure pepsin and Golden Seal.
"Without any question they are tie
safest, most effective cure for indiges
tion, biliousness, constipation and all
derangements of the stomach, however
slight or severe."
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are made
by the F. A. Stuart Co., of Marshall,
Mich., and are sold by druggists every
where at fifty cents per package.

Couleb City, Wash., April 15. Tbe
driver of the Coulee City & Brewster
stage line reports that last Tuesday tbe
town of Euby City, in Okanogan county,
was entirely wiped out by fire, except a
livery stable. The fire is thought to have
originated by some persons who were
under the influence of liquor carelessly
handling matches. The old brewery
building, Baloon and four dwelling
bouses were burned ; loss $3000.
Ruby City was the first town of any
importance in Okanogan county, and
was once county seat. At one time 30U0
people lived there. They were supported
by tbe rich silver mines. Lack of trans
portation and the drop in the price of
silver depopulated the town.

Manila, April 15. The Americans
plan to trap Aguinaldo by sending troops
via the sea route to the north of him.
Then he will be between two lines of
Americans, and it may result in his cap
ture. General Otis declares he has crushed
the rebel army and Aguinaldo's so-called
government. He adds that the Ameri
cans are not going to stop on account of
rainy weather, but will make an active
campaign, cutting the rebel forces in two
at Manila and trapping Aguinaldo to tbe
north. He thinks the chief problem is
now to exterminate the brigands and
banditswho infeet the island in immense
bauds of great Btrength and daring.
The condition of Spanish, prisoners is
terrible. They are weak, emaciated,
starved, ' beaten cruelly and ordered
about by" bayonets. United effort has
been made by merchants of all national
aties to have the Spaniards set free
by Aguinaldo. The petition is to be de
livered at once. However, Otis thinks
it will be some time before Luzon is
pacified.
