OREGON TROOPS
AGAIN ENGAGED
General Hall Whins toe Msls in two
Battles.
THREE MEN
WERE KILLED
Make a Gallant Charge Over Rice Fields
and Up Hillsides.
Manila, June 4, 8:30 p.m. General
Hall's column, in tbe movement on the
Morong penineula, completed the' circle
of twenty miles over a rough and moun
tainous country, having two engage
ments with the insurgents, one of them
severe, and keeping np an almost con
stant fire againet eca' tired bands of
rebels for nearly twenty-four hours, from
4 o'clock Saturday morning, when the
column left the pumping station.
The column, after driving tbe rebels
from the foothills near Maria Chino,
about noon yesterday, with a loss of bnt
two or three slightly wounded, proceeded
with all possible haste toward .Lagana
de Bay, the Fourth cavalry in tbe lead,
tbe Oregon regiment next, and the
Fourth infantry last. At 5 o'clock these
regiments fought their second battle of
the day, and it resulted like the first in
the complete rout of a large Filipino
force located in the mountains and hav
ing every advantage of position. In this
fight the American loss was four killedj
three of the Fourth cavalry and one
Oregonian, and about fifteen wounded.
The Filipino loss could not be ascer
tained, but the terrific fire which the
Americans poured into them for . half
an hour must have inflicted eevere loss.
Oregon Boys Make a Gallant Charge.
In this engagement our troops made
one of the most gallant charges of the
war, and the enemy was' forced to flee in
tbe greatest disorder. It was the inten
tion to press on to Antlpolo last night,
but this was found impossible owing to
the two fights and the constant march
ing for more than twelve hours, with
nothing to eat since morning, and no
eapply train in sight. The troops, how
ever, suffered from the intense beat,
many being prostrated, and all greatly
exhausted.
The cavalry, tbe Orgonians and two
companies of tbe Fouith infantry had
just crossed a small creek about 5 o'clock
yesterday afternoon and entered upon a
sunken road, from which they wei
emerging upon a small valley surrounded
on all sides by high and heavily wooded
bills, when tbe rebels, concealed in the
mountains on the three sides of the
plain, opened a hot fire, and sent showers
of bullets into tbe ranks of the Ameri
cans. The latter deployed immediately
in three directions.
General Hall's advance was first mo
mentarily baited after be bad crossed
the fiist range of bills to tbe eaBt of
Monte, a town in tbe valley at tbe edge
of tbe bills. The insurgents were driven
out of the town and it was burned. Tbe
Second Oregon volunteers pocketed the
Filipinos in three sides, and a brisk fight
ensued. General Summers threw a bat
talion on each hill, and the Americans
chased the rebels for some distance. The
Oregon regiment lost three men killed
and six wounded. It is' impossible, on
aceount of the terrific fighting and tbe
condition of the signal wires, to get par
ticulars. Not even the names have been
sent to General Otis at this writing.
Wool Being Cleaned Out

cleaned up with greater dispatch than is
usual ; that is, the wool is sold,' and is
being shipped out rapidly, and only a
few clips remain to be bought. . One big
lot was bought here last week for twelve

Would Not Suffer So Again for Fifty
Times Its Y Ice.
I awoke last night wiih severe pains
in my stomach. I never felt so badly in
all my life. When I came down to work
this morning I felt so wep.k I could bardly
work. I went to Miller & McCurdy's
drug store and they recommended
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea .Remedy. .It worked like magic
and one dose fixed me all right. It
certainly is the finest thing I ever used
for stomach trouble. I shall not be
without it in my home hereafter, for
I should not care to endure tbe sufferings
of last night again for fifty times its
price. G. H. Wilson, Liveryman, Bur-

He Was Murdered.
Stabbuck, June 4. The body of an
unknown man was found near Lyon's
ferry last night, and brought to Starbuck,
where an inquest was held. Tbe body
was badly decomposed, and there was
nothing on tbe person by which he conld
be identified. He wore overalls, a light
shirt and heavy congress shoes. The
skull was fractured, one leg was broken,
and two bruises over tbe eyes and a
broken nose indicated that the man bad
been foully dealt with. The coroner's
jury believed that the man -was killed
about two months ago, and the body
thrown into the Snake river to conceal
the crime. '
A Card of Thanks.
I wish to eay that I feel under lasting
obligations for what Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy has done for our family.
We have used it in so many cases of
coughs, lung troubles and whooping
cough, and it has always given the most
perfect satisfaction, we feel greatly in
debted to the manufacturers of this
remedy and wish them to please accept
our hearty thanks. Respectfully, Mbs.

SERIES OF
FATALITIES
Incident to the Funeral of a Man Who
Committed Suicide Girl Killed
and Three Persons at Death's Door.
Chicago, June 5. A special to the
Chronicle from Arthur, 111., says: One
boy drowned, a little girl fatally injured
beneath the hoofs of horses, two women
and a man brought to death's door by
the shocks of the accidents, all incidents
accompanying the funeral of a man
who met with sudden death, made Sun
day a remarkable one in this city.
Tbe strange chain of disaster began
when the lecal G. A. R. post buried T.
P. Weils, who was aephyxiated by gas
in Chicago last Wednesday night. While
the funeral was in progress at the ceme
tery, news reached Gus Baker that his
12-year-old son bad juBt. been drowned
while swimming. " The shock prostrated
Mr. Baker, and he bad to be taken hom)
in a carriage. When the news was
broken to his wife, she went frantic and
became unconscious. Both are in a pre
carious condition.
While the funeral procession was re
turning from tbe cemeterv one of tbe
carriages ran over Mrs. William Sulli
van's little 2-year-old daughter, mang
ling her in a horrible manner. Mies
Ola Clark, a witness to tbe latter acci
dent, fainted and was carried to tbe
nearest house, where she lay for four
horns before recovering sufficiently to be
removed to her borne.
He Fooled the Surgeons.
All doctors told Renick Hamilton, of
West Jefferson, O., after suffering 18
