Wnnt Civil ItulP.
Il.u'oi.oit, Island of Negros, March 22.
According to expressions of a large
majority of the delegates from Occidental
Negros, and of a few who were present
from the Oriental side, the sentiment ol
the people is overwhelmingly in favor of
ttirreediiig the present governments by
provincial governments in both divisions.
The reasons given for this view are that
such a change will effect a reduction of
taxes and the high salaries of officials,
the establishment of schools and the im
provement of roads. The speakers al
leged that owing to a lack of means of
education, liberty was becoming license.
The military commander is credited
with having organized the only schools.
They tire taught hy soldiers. Commis
sioner Taft assured the dslegutes tint
Negros would lie supplied with American
teachers, and lie outlined the need of
organizing provinces uniformly with
other lsluride.
The announcement of yesterday's sur
renders in the island of I'anay was
greeted with applause.

Yes, August Flower still has the largest
tale of any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers and grandmothers
never thought of using anything else for
indigestion and biliousness. Doctors
were scarce and they seldom heard of
appendicitis, nervous prostration or
heart failure, etc. They used August
Flower to clean out the system und stop
fermentation of undigested food, regu
late the action of the liver, stimulate the
nervous and organic action of the sys
tem, und that iB all they took when feel
inn dull and bad witii headaches and
other aches. You onl need a few doses
of Green's August Flower, in liquid
form, to make you satisfied there is
nothing seriotiB the matter witii you.

ALLEGED RICH
GOLD STRIKE
Quartz Found Near Scarboro Head Said
to Be Worth 51500 a Ton.
Astokia, March 22. A fabulous gold
discovery is reported to have been made
on the government reservation at Scar
boro Head, near Fort Columbia. Speci
mens of the quartz found there have
been sent to the Seattle assay office and
are said to have run as high as $1500 to
the ton. As the ledge is on government
property, it cannot, of course, be worked,
but it is believed that it extends north
oi the military reserve and that owners
of property in that vicinity will find
valuable quartz if the prospect for it.
The specimens thus far taken out were
found by employers of the government
and are very rich.
A genuine gold excitement has broken
out near the little town of Elsie, in the
southern part of Clatsop county. Quartz
found there has been assayed and shows
80 to the ton. The specimens as
sayed are from surface croppings and
owners of claims think the quartz will
become very valuable when they go
further down. Councilman W. J. Cook,
who has just returned from the vicinity
of Elsie, told the following story of the
discovery :
"Gold was first discovered there some
time ago, but the matter was kept very
quiet by Alex and Fred Norman, on
whose timber claims the find was made.
The land is situated in township 4 north,
range 8 west, and the district is known
aB Cruiser's Gulch. While in the south
ern part ot the country I visited the
place. The quartz-bearing district in
cludes a large mountain, winch is en
circled by the gulch'from which the dis
trict lias derived its name. The mount
tain covers between GOO and 800 acres.
The quartz was found on the surface,
and as yet no effort has been made to
follow the ledge. In view of the value
ot the surface quartz the owners of the
claims are satisfied that the property
will prove very valuable, and there is
great excitement in the district.
'Placer mining has also been attempt
ed by J. C. Dunkin, who did some work
on the creek bottom near the mountain.
The first pan washed by him showed 20
colors, and while at work he found two
large nuggets. He states that he has
found indications of extensive gold de
posits and believes that the district will
prove a small Klondike."
The settlers are so well satisfied they
have a good thing that they have laid
their proposition before Portland capital
ists, wiio have promised to furnish tiie
necessary capital to develop the property.
There is an abundance of water in the
vicinity and operations will not be ex
pensive. Thus far five mining claims
have been filed out.
How to Curo Rroui.
Mr. R. Gray, who lives near Amenia,
Duchess county, N. Y., says : "Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is the best medi
cine I have ever used. It is a fine
children's remedy for croup and never
fails to cure." When given as soon as
the child becomes hoarse, or even after
the croupy cougli has developed, it will
prevent the attack. This should he
bo'ne in mind aud a bottle of the Cough
Remedy kept.at hand ready for instant
use as soon as these symptoms appear.

Kitchener's l'lopoBltlim,
London, March 22. The Daily Chron
icle professing to be able to give au out
line of the negotiations between Lord
Kitchener and General Botha, says:
"The chief obstacle to the settlement
was Lorn Kitcheners remsai 10 grant.
complete amnesty to the leaders of the
rebels in Cape Colony. He offered self
government on the lines of Jamaica, im
mediately upon the cessation of hostili
ties, with legislative bodies partly elected
by the burghers,
"The government agreed to provide
1,000,000 to compensate the Boers for
property destroyed.
"No Burgher of either state was to be
allowed a rifle except by special license.
"General Botha was generally iu favor
of these conditions but he dissented
strongly from the proposal to give full
privilege of citizenship to properly
domiciled and registered blacks. He was
also greatly concerned about the position
the Jewish capitalists would occupy in
the country, and was told that Jews and
Christians would enjoy equal rights, no
distinction being made iu the matter of
otifeesions."
