PEACE ALMOST
AT HAND
Eepresentatiyss Will Meet Commission
Today to Discuss Terns.
REBEL FORCES
NOW RETIRING
Great Majority of the Inhabitants Are
Discouraged and Anxious for Peace
Also the Insurgent Cabinet.
Washington, May 18. General Otis
cabled the war department today aa fol
lows: "Manila, May 15. Adjutant-General,
Washington : Representatives of the
insurgent cabinet and Aguinaldo, who
are in the mountains twelve miles north
of San Isidro, which wasjabandoned on
the 15th Instant, will send a commission
tomorrow to seek terms of peace.
"The majority of the force confront
ing MacArtbur at San Fernando has re
tired to Tarlac, tearing up two miles of
railway, and the force has decreased to
about 2000. Scouting parties and de
tachments are moving today in various
directions. Kobbe is with the Columbia
on the Bio Grande. A great majority of
the inhabitants of the provinces over
which the troops have moved are anxious
for peace, and are supported by the
members of the insurgent cabinet. The
aspect of affairs at present is favorable.
OTIS."
Great satisfaction was expressed by
the war department officials with the
news contained in the foregoing dispatch
of General Otis. The belief was ex
pressed that the end of the insurrection
was at hand. The wisdom of refusing
any terms to the first commission, and
impressing the insurgents is everywhere
commended. On this account no doubt
is expressed that the new commission,
which is on its way to Manila, will be
ready to accept the favorable terms
which General Otis has been ready to
grant upon the actual surrender and
cessation of hostilities. The dispatch of
General Otis was at once sent to the
president at Hot Springs, Va.
Speaking of the part taken by the
volunteers in the Philippine campaign,
Secretary Alger said that instead of wish
ing to be home, they wouldn't have
missed the experience, as it was an event
in their lives, especially as the bard
fighting haB been crowned with success.
Completely Demoralized.
Manila, May 18.-4:40 p. m. Two
Spanish prisoners, who have just arrived
here from Nueva Ciyaka, say Aguinaldo
has loBt prestige with the rebel army,
which is described as being completely
demoralized, short of food, suffering from
disease and afraid of the Americans, and
rapidly dissolving into bands of pillagers
The prisoners add that General Pilar
and Luna are the only influential Filipi
nos who are continuing the resistance to
the Americans.
Confirmatory Report
St. Louis, May 18. A special cable
gram to the Globe-Democrat from Ma
nila says: It is reported here that
Aguinaldo has decided to accept the
terms of peace offered by the American
Philippine commission, and that he has
Started bis representatives from Ban
Isidro for Manila. He is said to have
reached this decision at a conference at
San Isidro the day before Lawton at
tacked, and that the fight took place
after the decision for peace had been
reached. The reports are believed here,
and that final peace is assured. . .
Earned Promotion.
Washington, May 17. The brilliant
campaign of Colonel Summers, ander
rivf,cvA n
AZSQLUTEEV 'PURE
Makes the food more delicious and wholesome
ROYAL BAKING POWOR
General Lawton, is likely to win him a
brigadier-general's commission. Colonel
Summers is now commanding a brigade,
and if there was a vacancy in the briga
dier list, be would be named at once.
The Oregon regiment, though entitled
to come home first, is far from Manila,
bearing the brunt of the Lawton cam
paign, and may not be back when the
time for the return of the volunteers
begins.
CATARRH OF
THE STOMACH
A Pleasant, Simple but Safe and
Effectual Cure for It -
Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable. J
The usual symptons are a full or bloating !
sensation after eating, accompanied with i
sour or watery rigings, a formation of j
gases caueing a pressure on the heart
and lungs, and difficult breathing; head
aches, fickle appetite, nervousness and
a genei&l played out, languid feeling. '
There is often a foul taste in the mouth,
coated tongue and if the stomach could
be seen it would show a slimy, inflamed
condition.
The cure for this common and obsti
nate trouble is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily,
thoroughly digested before it has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate
mucous surface of the stomach. To se
cure 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. Haslanson the safest
and beBt treatment is to use alter each
meal a tablet, composed of Diastase,
Aseptic, Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden
Seal and fruit acids. These tablets can
now be found at all drug stores 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 will follow their
regular use after meals.
Mr. N. J. Booher, of 2710 Dearborn St.,
Chicago, 111., says : "Catarrh is a local
condition resulting from a neglected cold
in the head, whereby the lining mem
brane of the nose becomes inflamed and
the poisonous discharge therefrom pass
ing backward into the throat reaches the
stomach, thus producing catarrh of the
etomacb. 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 appropriate words to express
my good feeling. I have flesh, appetite
and sound rest from their use.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest
as well as the simplest and most con
venient remedy for any form of indigeS'
tion, catarrh of the stomach, biliousness
sour stomach, heartburn and bloating
after meals.
Send for little book, mailed free, on
stomach troubles, by addressing F. A.
Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich. The tablets
can be found at all drug stores.
The Best lp the World.
We believe Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is the best in the world. A few
weeks ago we suffered with a severe cold
and a troublesome cough, and having
read their advertisements in our own
ana .other papers we purchased a
bottle to see if it would effect us. It
cured us before the bottle was more than
half used. It is the best medicine out
for colds and coughs. The Herald,

TOMBSTONES
BLOWN AWAY
Havoc Wrought by a Cyclone in Iowa
People Lifted Up Bodily and
Hurled Through the Air.
Manchester, la., May 17. The de
tails of the clyclone which passed over
the northern part of this county last
night are most harrowing. As a result
of the storm four people are dead and
three others are fatally injured. Every
farm house in the track of the storm
cloud for a width of forth rods1 is either
totally destroyed or wrecked.
At Bigelow's the family took shelter
in the cellar. A young babe was torn
from the mother's arms and carried
twenty-five rods without injury. At the
Klaus cemetery only one monument is
left standing, and some of the tomb-
Btones were found two miles away. The
Klaus school house was blown to pieces,
and the Methodist church is a wreck.
The Kidenout family took refuge in the
cellar from the force of the wind. Three
were injured. The Sheppard family
were in the house, which was smashed
to kindling. Two of the sons were
carried 400 yards and one killed out
right. The father died this afternoon.
Two other children will die.
- Million Given Away.
It is certainly -gratifying to the public
to know of one concern in the land who
are not afraid to be generous to the
needy and suffering, The proprietors
of Dr. King's New Discovery for con
sumption, coughs and colds, have given
away over ten million trial bottles of this
great medicine ; and have the satisfac
tion of knowing it has absolutely cured
thousands of hopeless cases. Asthma,
bronchitis, hoarseness and all diseases
of the throat, chest and lungs are surely
cured by it. Call on Blakeiey & Hough-
too, druggists, and get a free trial bottle.

Letter From Andre Found.
Leith, Scotland, May 18. The Nor
wegian ship Viking, which arrived here
yesterday from Soydisfjord, brought a
report of a letter, written by Professor
Andre, which was found in a bottle in
April near Riotung, on the northeast
coast of Iceland, by a farmer' named
Johan Mangussen. The letter was ad
dressed to the polar expedition at Goete
berg, and bore Andre's own stamp, with
the request that it be placed in the
nearest postoffice.
Mangussen, it is said, gave the letter
to a merchant, Sveinn Einasn, at This
ilfjord, who mailed it, and it is expected
to arrive at its destination in the course
of a few days. At the same time the
Viking brought a letter to a prominent
Icelander now in London, advising him
of the facts, and asking him to telegraph
to the king of Sweden and the polar ex
pedition at Goeteberg, which was done.
Pneumonia, la grippe,' coughs, colds,
croup and whooping-cough readily yield
to One Minute Cough Cure. Use this
remedy in time and save a doctor's bill
or the undertaker's. Snipes-Kinersly

Deafness Cannot be Cured,
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is 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, and 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 cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
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
Cure. Send for circulars ; free.
