THE MORNING CALE. Fol. X. No. 138. aguinaldo working hard Trying to Put Heart in His Disorgan ized and Discouraged Followers. Manila, Feb- 14—Aguinaldo is do ing everything in bia power to give heart to bis disorganized and dis heartened followers. During the past wetk he has been personally visiting hi* troops, seeking to encourage them by magnifying the American losses and minimizing those of the Filipinos. He declares he merely withdrew hie forces so as to lead the Americans into an ambuscade, and annihilate them. Many of bis followers, how ever, in view of the week’s events, are dubious about the practicability ol wiping out the American army- Aguinaldo is taking extrodinary precaution to prevent being captured. He has turned the command ol his army over to Genera! Luna and will himself keep out of the reach of the Americans. Luna is tbs author of nearly all the belicose articles which have appeared in the insurgent papers. —Rebel headquarters have b en estab listed at Polio. The truth concerning the serious defeat the rebels have sus tained is just commencing to be whispered io Malolos and at other Filipino towns. The leaders first an nounced that 3,000 Americans were killed and wounded, among them Ma jor General Otis. The forces under General Miller captured the city of Iloilo Saturday. None of the Americans were injured. The rebels offend only a slight resis tance, and withdrew after setting fire to the native portion of the town. A few of the insurgents were wounded. Fruit Injured- Several of the leading fruit growers of this section stated yesterday that the crop was badly damaged by the freezes last Sunday and Monday, although some are hopeful that we will have a small crop of peaches. Mr. H W. Hasselkus aaye it will take a few days of warm weather to determine the full extent ol the in jury He is of the opinion that a great deal of the fruit not far enough advanced to be injured, and is confident Spalding county will have peaches to ship next summer. Horticulturist Quaintance, of the Georgia Experiment Station, does not make as encouraging a report. It is his opinion that the peach and plum crops will be a complete failure, and the trees that bear fruit will be rare indeed. On account of the continuous rains, very little garden truck had been planted, otherwise the loss to truck farmers would have been heavy. The weather moderated considera bly yesterday, and the enow melted rapidly. A Good Company- Monday night was a most disagreea ble one and calculated to keep every body in doors around their own fires, but those who did venture out to the opera house feel they were more than repaid in the splendid rendition by the Andrews Opera Co , of that beauti ful and pleasing opera, “Martha ” Miss Myrta French, as Martha-, was quite a success and with that clear sweet voice sang “The Last Rose of Summer,'' which alone Was declared to be worth the plice of admission. Mr. F. W Walters as Lionel, did his part to perfection, and many neat compliments were whispered through out the performance by the most ap preciated audience tver before seen at the Olympic, of the enure company Had the weather been mere fovora ble a large audience would have greet ed them here It is hoped they will play in our city again some day, when we can ns-ure them of a large ami most ap preciative audience CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Signature of Mr. 11. A. Pas-?, Bowman, Ga., writes: “One of iny children was ve r y delicate and we despaired of 'rai-ing it.

ALGER MAKES THREAT Volunteers Now in Field Will be Held Until Army Bill Passes New York Feb 14.—Speaking at the Brooklyn Union League club’s Lincoln day banquet last night, Sec retary of War A'ger said that few men could realize, unless they eat down and looked over the work, what a task it was to gather a quarter ol a million men from all over the country, atm and equip them, tent them, transport them and make camps for them ; transport 50,000 of them to points 10,000 miles apart, fight battles and close up the war in 113 days “When the great call rang out on the 23rd of April,” said General Alger, “thousands of men offered themselves from over the country. A quarter of a million were taken, and for what they have done they have no apologies to make to the world. They have filled their places as American soldiers and they are now talking tonight at Manila better than I can talk for them. They are acquitting themselves as American soldiers. “Os that 250,000 men who came in May and June, 150,000 have returned to their homes and are now pursuing the peaceful walks of life, 125,000 now remain, and we hope that soon we shall have an army bill such as is fit* ting for this mighty country, that we can relieve these soldiers and put men ip their places willing to serve as sol* diers II that is denied us, I want to pledge you .hat the men on the field, though their time may be up, will never be released ’’ California Pearl Fishing. The pearl fisheries of the Gulf cl California are interesting and much lees well known than thpir interest warrants A recent visitor to the Gulf coast, which Cortez was first among white men to visit, says that the whole coast is now controlled t>y commissions, and the “pearl crop” is worth from a quarter to a million dollars a year, while the tons of shells exported bring in more than a million a year. The largest pearl ever found in these fisheries was sold to the Emperor of Austria for SIO,OOO Their yearly out put is now much larger than it was before the improvement in diving bells made it possible for good divers to go down a hundred feet and stay for an hour or two. Formerly, when native divers were employed, they went down only in water thirty-five feet deep, and could remain, of course, but a very short time. La P«z is the headquarters of the pearl industiy, a little towc whose send most of their wares direct to the great jewel markets of the woild in London and Paris. There is always a good deal of romance in the idea of pearl fishing, since so few oysters have their pearls. But it is, after all, rather more of a gambling business, since chances vary so much. One traveler says that it develops the imaginations of the divers. Some of the oldest ones among them spin regular fo’castle yarns about their le markable adventures and hair-breadth escapes from death at the jaws of a shark or the tentacles of an octopus. The demand of the world f r pearls of great btauty is always in advance of the supply, and as there is at pre sent no way of fishing pearls by elec tricity, the occupation of the human pearl fi-her, either as diver or yarn spinner, is nut soon likely to vanish from the earth There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put to gether, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a consti tutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu tional cure on the market It Is taken in ternally in doses from 10 drops to a lea spoonful.

MOUNTAIN CLIMBER A Monster Locomotive for the Lehigh Valley Railroad A monster mountain climbing loco motive, built to ascend the steep grades of the L high Valley Railroad, has just been completed al the Bild wiu Locomotives Works in Philadel phia This engine, which is claimed to be the largest locomotive ever con structed in the United Sates, is known as a compound consolidation engine, and weighs 115 tons. It is s > long that when it was finish ed it was discovered that it could not turn the curves of the siding leading from the shops where it was built to the main line of the Reading Railroad, and the workmen were compelled to jack it up several limes in order to overcome this unforeseen difficulty Hundreds of persons vatebed with great interest this novel work of lifting it over the curves It has been num b?red 681, and is guaranteed to pull a train of 1,000 tons seventeen miles per hour over the steepest grades of the Lsbigh Valley. This giant among lo comotives will use buckwheat coal for fuel. Its general dimensions are as fol lows: The cylinders are 18 inches in diameter high pressure, and 30 inches in diameter low pressure. The boiler is 80 inches in diameter, and contains 511 tubes 2 inches in diameter. There are four driving wheels on each side, 55 inches in diameter. The boiler and fire box are of steel, while the total weight of the engine io pounds is 225,083. This weight added to that of the tender amounts tj the enormous total of 346 000 pounds. The tendsr has a tank capacity of 7,000 gallons, and the engine is guaranteed to run for a considerable distance, namely, from Coxton to Fairview, two stations on the Lehigh Valley, without taking water. When compared with a regulation locomotive, some idea of the monster proportions of this giant locomotive can be obtained. An ordinary shitt ing engine looks like a child’s toy when drawn up alongside. Robbed the Grave- A startling incident, of which Mr John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the subject, is narrated by him as follows: “I was in a most dreadful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunk en, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite—gradual ly growing weaker day by day. Three physicans had given me up. Fortu nately, a friend advised trying ’Elec tric Bitters and to my great joy and surprise, the first bottle made a decid ed improvement. I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man. I know they saved my life, and robbed the grave of another vic tim,” No one should fail to try them. Only 50 cts per bottle at J. N. Harris & Son and Carlisle & Ward’s Drug Store. John G.

Why John Brown Learned to Fight. There Is an anecdote to the effect that John Brown, when he was raising sheep In New York state and missed the choicest of his stock, wrote to his neighbor, who was dining on mutton daily, to say that he had other sheep just as good or better for eating which he would give the neighbor, because ho (Brown) was raising the merinos for wool. His neighbor, hav ing tho courage of his rascality, thereupon horsewhipped Brown, who, professing nonresistanco at that time, made no trouble. He arrested the thief for assault, but tho justice of tho peace decided with the wisdom of Dogberry that if a man doesn’t resist ho can havo no cause of complaint. John Brown’s notion of nonresistanco ended then.—Springfield Republican.

The hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark, puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow, parsnip-colored complexion indicates it. A physician would ask if you had rheu matism, a dull pain or ache in the back or over the hips, stomach trouble, desire to urinate often, or a burning or scalding in passing it; if after passing there is an un satisfied feeling as if it must be at once re peated, or if the urine has a brick dust de posit or strong odor. When these symptoms are present, no time should be lost in removing the cause. Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage, and sometimes requiring the drawing of the urine with instruments, or may rus into Bright’s Disease, the most dangerous stage of kidney trouble. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great discovery of the eminent kidney and blad der specialist, is a positive remedy for such diseases. Its reputation is world wide and it is so easy to get al any drug store that no one need suffer any length of time for want of it. However, if you prefer to first test its wonderful merits, mention The Middle Georgia Farmer, and write to Dr. Kil mer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y.. for sample bottle and book telling all about it, both sent absolutely free by mail. 1
