Paymaster
Collier says:
“I Have
Taken
Pe-ru-na
Oho of the most responsible positions
In the practical management of the
United States Navy is the Paymaster’s
Office. Only men of great executive and
clerical ability can fill such a position.
Such a man is the Hon. William A. Col
lier, Assistant Paymaster of the United
States Navy. In a recent letter of his
to Dr. Hartman ho says:
Washington, D. C., Jan. 25,1899.
I have taken Pe- rn-na and take pleas
ure in recommending it to those needing
a first-class tonic, feeling assured that it
will do all that is claimed for it.
Yonrs truly, Wm. A. Collier.
W1I. A. COLLIEU, PAYMASTER OP THE U. S. NAVY.
of Pe-ru-na: M I think there is no better
medicine on earth than Pe-ru-na, for
catarrh. It has cured me. It would
take a volume to tell you all the good it
has done me. Pe-ru-na is the best ca
tarrh cure on earth, and I know, for I
have tried nearly all of them. Respect
fully, Buck P. Taylor.”
Major Algernon A. Mabson, of the
Tenth Volunteer
regiment, stationed
at Macon, Ga., in a
recent letter to Dr.
Hartman from
Washington, D. C.,
says: “I think
there is no better
medicine on earth
than your Pe-ru-na
for catarrh. It has
surely cured me. It
would take a vol
ume to tell yon all Major Mabson.
the good it has done me. Pe-ru-na is
the greatest remedy ever prepared, and
I think I have tried them all.”
A. A. Mabson.
Pe-ru-na attained great popularity
among-the officers of the army as well as
the navy during the late war with Spain.
A great many letters were received from
field and hospital corps, indicating tliat
this popular climatic remedy has become
well nigh indispensable to them. Pe-
ru-na is not only a National remedy, but
has proven itself a National blessing.
Letters from every quarter are received
daily testifying to the virtues of Pe-ru-
na in cases of catarrh that had long since
given up all hope of cure. Coughs, colds,
•influenza, la grippe and acute catarrh
yield at once to the action of Pe-ru-na.
No case of catarrh can entirely resist the
curative virtues of Pe-ru-na, as every
case is either cured or permanently bene
fited. A lecture on catarrh and its cure
by Dr. Hartman sent free by The Pe-ru-
na Drug MTg Company, of Columbus, O
Sergeant Buck Taylor, New York City.
Sergeant Buck Taylor, one of the
famous Rough Riders, is a personal
friend of Governor Roosevelt, of New
York. He accompanied Governor Roose
velt on his great stumping tour through
ripper New York state. He was pro
moted through gallantry in the field
luring the late war.
The Sergeant has the following to say

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis
courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor

neys are out of order
or diseased.
Kidney trouble has
become so prevalent
that it is not uncommon
for a child to be bom
afflicted v/ith weak kid
neys. If the child urin
ates too often, if the
urine scalds the flesh, or if» when the child
reaches an age when -it „ should be able to

bedrwetting, depend upon it, the cause of
the. difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made mis
erable with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy.

IN THE PHILIPPINES.
I)K. PERCY JONES, A CEDAR-
TOWN BOY,
Writes Interestingly c.r Our New
Possessions across llie Pacific.
Cebu, P. 1, Hec. 25, 18119.
Dear Editobs:— Christmas gift! That
is all f can say or do to demonstrate
that Christmas is here; possibly by
night I can tell a different story.
I am assigned to duty with a poi tion
of the 19th U. S. Infantry. We are
stationed about ten miles from Cebn,
np in the mountains, within rifle dis
tance of the insurgents’ fortifications.
Our duty is to prevent their carrying
orovisions from Cebu to their forts.
They are always on the defensive, rarely
ever attacking; occasionally, however,
at night they intrude, thereby disturb
ing our pleasant dreams and sweet re
pose. I naturally get mad. Generally
I have a good safe piece to pont.
My Xmas 1 expect to spend in taking
long marches over the mountains, or as
they are better known in soldierdom,
“hykes,” for the purpose of reconnoiter-
ing; possibly yon can understand better
what these marches are by going down
to Prior’s Station and taking a trip once
a day over those mountains.
An attack on these forts is being ar
ranged ior the near future. The
troops taking part will be 23rd
Infantry, one battalion 19th Infantry,
two battalions 6th Infantry, two com
panies. The number of different forts
are roughly estimated at 50, so yon can
imagine what we are going np against.
They are the greatest trench diggers in
the world; in fact, they do nothing else,
fov they won’t make a stand—jnst
vacate, (“vamoose”) go some other
place and start to digging.
The Tennessee boys deserve a lot of
praise for their willingness to participate
in a charge, after they were aboard
thc-ir transport going homo. They did I
noble work; 'twas a treat to bear them
give that old rebel yell, and rnn toward
the insurgent lines ns though each
Tennesseean had to cateh him a
Filipino for a souvenir. Will say in
justice to the other troops that they
did Equally as well. As you know,
the “niggers” ran, and they are now in
the forts that wo intend to attack soon.
Most every paper I pick np from the
states has absurd statements and repre
sentations of incidents ’ here and the
way -“things are handled.” • So far as
military tactics are concerred, I know
nothing, hut nine men out of ten whom
I know to be in position and ure capable
of expressing opinions, aro decidedly
in favor of every act that onr leader,
Gen. Otis, has performed. It could not
be said that- “they were afraid to speak
otherwise,” becanse' these were private
opinions not intended to be publicly
expressed. < And;ragaiu, I cannot see
where it is so terribly unhealthy here.
I speak of the island of Cebn, knowing
nothing of the conditions in' Luzon at
present. For example, I was stationed
here with a battalion of troops number
ing ubont three hundred and filty men
from the 1st of Juno until the 1st of
October, and only one man died—from
a bullet. Never more than twenty or
thirty on sick report for month, they
being affected with acute maladies. As
to myself, I have not seen a single day’s
sickness, and don’t want any better
climate.
Quite a number have written me re
garding prospects, schemes, titles, etc.
Would say that now is not a very good
time to visit these parts, unless they go
into filibustering, and the titles are
very, very poor. However, in the next
few months evirything will he quiet
and trade will,boom.
“I expect to be ordered soon to the
island of Mindanao, GOO mih s south.
It is said to be the richest of all, es
pecially in minerals.
If lam so fortunate as to get into a
-old mining scheme, or get out after
_’ve gotten in, I will come home. This
island contains an immense amount of
coal of medium quality, but the ex
pense of putting machinery into opera
tion is more than the ordinary man
wants to bear.
About the only thing that a fortune
can be made at “pronto” (soon) is dent
istry. They are in demand at any
ice, QDd of conrse wonld have to be
itinerants. There is not, nor has there
ever been, one here since tne U. S.
troops lauded. Just think of what a
’cinch” the first man here will have!
Come over, Dr. Sims.
“Craps” are fair. It is certainly a
treat to see the crude way the soil is
tilled—wooden ploughs with points
similar to scooter and one wing, only
one handle, drawn by a^buffalo, which
is ten times slower than an old steer.
The native, however, bears patiently
with his slow progress, and as a rule,
has a good looking rice field or cane
crop.
The Dative is not at all vic'ous; on the
contrary very peaceable, of small
statnre, fair intelligence, and not in the
least lazy. He delights in such sports
as -“cock-fighting,” “monte,” and
“penny-pitching,” the last two ramed
they got from the Spaniards. I must
say that you can generally connton
mo at every big chicken fight. Some
how I like it myself.
To demonstrate that all natives arc
not cowards, I will relate a couple of
iaEtances which I know to be facts.
On one occasion, tbe Tennessee boys
captured several insurgent soldiers.
The commanding officer desiring infor
mation that they possessed regarding
the movements of the Filipino forces,
begun questioning the most intelligent
looking. He refused emphatically to
talk and upon being toid by the inter
preter that it mf ant death to him if he
did not, he looked our Major in the
face and opened his ‘shirit bosom say
ing, “Shoot, for I will never tell.”
He was not shot. Another instance:
Onr men were doing outpost duty
at Iloilo. There was only a small river
separating us. Late one afternoon onr
guards discovered a Filipino in a tree
across the river (about 75 feet) just pre
paring to “open up” on them. Natur
ally he came down pronto; his comrades
in the face of three ringing Springfields
went to him and pulled him ont on the
bank—they all died easy.
These instances go to show that all
are not cowards.
By this time I suppose that all the
volnnteers have reached the States,
been mustered out and are enjoying
their praise and welcome. I certainly
envy them, “but ’tis better to bear those
ills we have than fly to otheis we know
not of.” Uncle Sam is mighty good,—
he keeps on paying after death.
I am the only member of the Ten
nessee regiment remaining on this is
land; so being entirely with strangers I
feel somewhat lonely.
I always eDjoy my “Standard,” as I
get news ont of it that home folks
never think of writing, and besides I
eDjoy even the advertisements.

‘SHOVING THE QUEER.”
Tlie Graceful Way In Which Coun
terfeiters Pass Their Product.
“Counterfeit money ‘shovers’ form a
distinct class of criminals,” said an old^
federal officer. “They have nothing to
do with making the ‘queer,’ but simply
put it lu circulation. They go about
their work very systematically and re
duce the chnuees of detection to a mini
mum.
“A woman shover, for example,
starts out to unload on the big retail
stores. Her dress Is quiet, but elegant
and she has the surface appearance of
a refined lady. In her hand Is a pocket-
book containing one bad bill and a
number of good oues. She goes into a
store, makes some trlfllug purchases,
tenders tbe counterfeit and pockets the
change. As she passes out she brush
es against a boy. who slips her anoth
er .queer bill and then drops back a
few paces In the crowd.
“In that way she makes the rounds,
and if slie understands her business
she can get rid of an astonishing num
ber of couuterfeits in the course of a
few hours. If the bill she offers is de
tected oil the spot, she never attempts
any argument. ‘Dear me!’ she ex
claims. ‘I wonder if I have any more
of the horrid things!' And thereupon
she empties her pocketliook - on* the
counter and asks the clerk to examine
tlie money and see whether it Is all
right.
“Ill D9 cases" out of 100 that disarms
suspicion at once, if she happens to
he arrested, only cue bill is fouud Id
her possessiou. ami there is nothing to
disprove her assertion that she receiv
ed it somewhere in change. Meanwhile
the hoy who carries the roll quietly
disappears. Often he sells newspapers
as a blind. ‘Have a paper. mlss?‘ he
will cry and hands the shover a biU
under the folded sheet. Altogether
It is a highly skilled trade. The upper
class shovers are very seldom caught.”
