Peculiar Accident.
MoxnoE, Or., Aug. 7. John Fergu
son, an old resident of this vicinity , is
lying at his home above town in a pre
cariouB condition, caused by liver
trouble. Being quite old ft is thought
that he cannot recover from the attack.
A curious accident happened to Chas.
Dennr, head miller,, at the Liverpool
mills, recently. In hiB work at the
mill, a splinter caught in his shoe-sole,
and. his foot was raised so that the
splinter could bo removed. Upon en
deavoring to return tho foot to its nor
mal position, Mr. Denny was surprised
to find it "stuck fast." Much patience
and time was used before the refactory
member could be induced to return to
its natural place. Tho hip and leg are
both still stiffened as a result of the
mishap.

CHINA HELPS
THE REBELS
By Declaring Horses Bought By Amcri
cans as Controband War Must
Be Ended Quickly Or the Bellig
erency of the Filipinos Is Likely to
Be Recognized by Foreign Govern
tncnt.
Manila, Ann. 8. Aguinaldo has ap
pealed to the powers lor recognition of
"Filipino independence" in a document
dated Tarlac, July 27, and Eigned by
Buencamihio. It has been received by
a'l tho foreign consuls in Manila with
he request that they forward it to their
respective governments.
New Youk, Aug. 8. A special to tho
Herald, from Washington says: Some
uneasiness prevails in military circles
relative to the attitude of China with re
spect to the Filipinos, as the result of
her refusal to permit the shipment of
horses purchased by agents of General
Otis to Manila on the ground that they
are "contraband of war." While the
Peking government has not formally
recognized the belligerency of Aguinaldo,
her announcement- that horses are
contraband is regarded as dangerously
near her recognition.
Officials interpret their action to mean
that China holds that this government,
instead of being engaged in the suppres
sion of an insurrection, is involved in a
war, and that goods purchased by it In
her empire for the use of the American
army are consequently contraband.
This government has taken no diplo
matic notice of China's declaration that
horses are contraband.
Reports received here have shown the
desperate efforts made by tho Filipinos
to secure recognition of Aguinaldo's gov
eminent. They have gone so far as to
refuse to permit the release of Spanish
prisoners unless Spain ilrst recognized
their belligerency. Because of the great
change which would occur In the status
of the Filipinos by recognition of their
belligerency by any nation, this govern
ment is doing everything possible to
prevent it. It is believed these efforts
will be successful at least until the re
sult of the next campaign is apparent.
Should the dry season end with the
insurgents still in the Held, tho difficulty
of preventing foreign recognition will be
materially increased.

From Sylvan Valley News, Brevrad,
N. C.
It may bo a question whether the
editor of a newspaper has tho right to
publicly recommend any of tho various
proptietary medicines which flood the
tnnrket, yot us a preventive of suffering
we feel it a duty to say a good word for
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy. Wo have known and
used this medicine in our family ior
twenty years and haye always found it
reliable. In many cases a doso of this
remedy would save hours of suffering
while a physician is awaited. Wo do
not beliovo iu depoudlng implicitly on
any medicine for a cure, but we do
believe that if a bottle of Chamberlain's
Diarrhoea Remedy waa kept on hand
and administered at the Inception of an
attack, much suffering might bo avoided
and In very many eases the presence of
a physician would not be required, At
least this has been our experience
during the past twenty years, For sale
