Gino.un, July 5. A special to the
Tribune from Marysviile, Mo., says:
Ex-Sunator Peflur, of Kansas, was th
principal Hpcukor lit the Fourth of July
culubration In Marysvillo. llu said In
IiIh addrosH :
"Scarcely h.td tho Binako of huttlo be
twuun Americans nml Spaniards blown
from ovor Manila, wJion that part of tho
earth began to bIiow signs of American
prosperity and ordur. Everything went
along smoothly until soma of oursoldiers
wore fired upon by cartnin rufllatH. It
Immediately became our governmont'H
duty to dutond the lives of our eoldiere
ntid the honor of our country, and to
necuro and prcacrvo peace and order.
"tYliontuat has been done we can
find time to dispute among ourselves
about minor quostiona of government,
hut not before. Those who oppose this
policy toll us that we aro violating the
principles of the declaration of inde
pendence by forcing our government
upon people without their consent.
Will you open the doora of our prisons
and turn out all the men who aro in
carcerated thero against their consent?
This country originally belonged to the
IudlanB. Did tho white man permit
the Indians to burn and kill? To re
strain him would bo to govern him with

"We wore dealing directly with Spain,
and when tho Spanish fleet was sunk
and Mmiilu captured, the Philippines
c:uno Into our control under tho inter
national code, and wo came directly re
Hponalhle for them and the acts of their
inhabit uita in tho eyea of tho world.
They uro ours to dispose of as much ns
any territory of this nation, and if the
administration refused to put down that
rebellion it would bo aa derelict in its
duty aa it would ho if it failed to put
down a rebulliou in Missouri, or Kansas,
or Texas.
Senator Junes' Opinion.
Ni:w Yoitic, July 5, Senator Jones, of
Nevada, iB quoted in an interview as fol
lows :
"The Democrats certainly will make a
etrong light ngalnat trusts in tho next
presidential campaign. Just how the
nubjeut should bu treated, I will confess
1 do not know at present. It Is a diflkult
problem. It ie easy enough to shout
down with the trusts, but what are you
(mlng to do about it?
"Take the one that is most often made
the target tho sugar trust. You go to
the members aud thoy say : 'Yes wo own
ull the sugar rullnorlesj we are Incorpo
rated according to low.' Now will we
pass a law that a concern shall own only
ho much proberty, or what shall we do?
What difference would it make to us if
there were u thousand independent re
fineries and as many mlddle-inen?"
'Does the anti-trust idea for a demo
cratic campaign issue moan that llryan
will bo the candidate?"
"Ourtuiuly. It will bo Bryan and Mc
Kiuley over again. That does not menu
that the silver question will he shelved,
either. It will bo rather overshadowed
by the anti-monopoly movement. There
uro many people who will novor under
stand the curiency question, and in the
fitco of a semblance of prosperity the
silver Issue may he submerged (or a time.
It will not stay down, however."
"How is the Philippine situation re
garded in the West?"
"In California, where nil tho troops
liikvo been shipped, tho people have made

Deafness is caused by an inflamed con

tachian Tube. When this tubo is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when It ie en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken

condition, hearing will be destroyed for

by catarrh, which is nothing but an in

dike Cleanup Is Coming.
San Fuancihco, July 5. A special
from Seattle says : Gold dust was pour
ing into Dawson when the Humboldt's
paesengers left. They allego that on the
morning of June 20 a pack train of
twenty horses, each animal carrying 200
pounds of gold dust, arrived from Eldor-
udo creek. Thero were two tons of it,
worth fully $1000,000. It is said that
eleven of the horses were weighted down
with dust from one claim.
Another D.iwson party has arrived
from tho north today on tho Dirigo.
Joseph Pntrau and Henry 'Berry had
jointly 700 pounds of dust. Aside from
this, no one man had to exceed fifty
pounds. Tho total on tho vessel was
about $160,000. Tho City of Topeka is
close behind tho Dirigo with considerable
more treasure.
Richard Ifmmone, J.Osham and O. W.
Jackson sought to reach the Copper river
country from Dawson and came near
starving to death. They were making
tho journey for tho North American
Transportation & Trading Company.
Their Indian guides deserted, and the
men were loft for ten days. Tho men
have reached Dawson from Copper river
without gold. They say they explored
tho rivers as far north as Helleland, in
tho Atctic ocean, but found nothing.

I awoke last night with severe pains
in my stomach. I nover felt so badly in
all my life. When I came down to work
this morning I felt so woak I could hardly
work. I went to Miller & McCurdy's
drug store and they recommended
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Dlar
rhoeu Kemedy. It worked like magic
and ouo dose fixed me all right. It
certainly is tho lluest thing I ever ueed
for stomach trouble. I shall not be
without it in my homo hereafter, for
I should not care to endure the sufferings
of last night nguin for fifty times its

Houston, Tex., July 5. A correspond
ent has just returned from a voyage
through the flood district. The half has
not been told of the havoc wrought. The
dieaBter is so appalling that description
is net possible. After this flood will
come sickneES undoubtedly. What a
week ago was the fairest part of Texas is
now almost a God-forsaken wilderness.
The waters of the Brazos have for six
days covered its valley to a depth of
from six to thirty feet. Where a week
ago there were on every hand fields of
cotton and corn and thousands of acies
of watermelons and conta'.oupes, today
there iB slimy mud over all the vegeta
tion, the carcaseea of cows, mules, pigs,
dogs and cats, mayhap, humans, for
many are missing.
Our party left Bryan at sunrise yes
terday morning, going to Novasoto bot
toms, and to a point about three miles
from Millican. Everything is under
water from two to seventeen feot. It
looked on all sides like a great lake and
the water was bo high that for a vast area
it completely submerged the telegraph
and telephone poles along the line. In
truth, portions of the bottoms are even
now a perfect sea, extending four or five
miles wide at certain points.
All the planters stated that the out
side world has no conception of the floods
or losses incurred by the destruction of
crops, stock and buildioga. Nearly every
planter has built boats aud sent them
through the flooded districts to render
assistance to the people, and if possible
save some of their drowning stock. The
Hood distiict has a length of over. 500
miles, a breadth of probably fifty miles,
aud in all this vast space damage incal
culable has been done.
Tho loss to life will never be fully
known. To show the damage done, the
following estimates have been made by
men who are in a position to know : Lives
lost, from 100 to 000; loss to farmers, in
cluding crops as well as livestock, from
$7,000,000 to $15,000,000 ; to railroads and
country bridges, $2,000,000 to $4,000,000.
These estimates aro taken on the whole
area.
Last fall I sprained my left hip while
handling somo heavy boxes. The doctor
I called ou said at first it was a slight
strain and would soon bo well, but it
grew worse and the doctor then said I
had rheumatism. It continued to grow
worse and I could hardly get around to
work. I went to a drug store and the
druggist recommended me to try Cham
berlain's Pain Balm. I tried it and one
half of a 50 cent bottle cured me entire
ly. I now recommend it to all my
friends. F. A. Badcock, Erie, Pa. It
