The American Flag Bailed Over the
Island of Negros
Manila, Feb 22—While the guns
on the city walls and those on board
the ships of Rear Admiral Dewey’s
fleet in the bay fired a salute in honor
of Washington’s birthday, four com
missioners from the island of Negros
had an interview with Major General
Otis and informed him that the Amer
ican flag had already been raised over
that island, and that its inhabitants
were ready, anxious and willing to
accept any pioposition the Americans
might offer. The it .-'irg' nts have
been driven from the island entirely.
Although the Iloilo reb Is have
given the people of Negros much
trouble, especially in the matter of
financial assistance, demanded by the
rebel leaders, the inhabitants of Ne
gros have persistently held aloof, and
now, through the commissioners an
nounced that they wanted the advice
and help of General Otis. The lat
ter assured them that the Ameticans
would provide an acceptable gov
ernment, and in the meantime he in
structed them not to pay the rebels
anything. The Negro commissioners
were delighted with their reception.
The United States cruiser Charleston
is coaling here, preparatory to start
ing on a cruise.
The United States gunboat Ben
nington arrived here today from the
island of Guam.
The United States transport St.
Paul has arrived here from Iloilo, but
Bae did not bring any news of import
tance.
Roosevelt and the Policemen-
It will be remembered that a great
deal of laughing was done at Gov
Roosevelt’s expense, when, as police
commissioner, be included in his test
for candidates desiring appointment
to “the force” an examination on
geography and United States history,
says the New York Mail and Express.
The smiles which this occasioned were
recalled by the Governor while be was
discussing civil service in the execu
tive chamber the other day. He said
a good many people could never un
derstand what use there was in people
quizzing a candidate for appointment
as a policeman on geography or Unit
ed States history. He explained that
it was not to find out what the candi
date knew of these things, but rather
to learn what he didn’t know, that the
much ridiculed question was asked.
As a sample of one of the questions
the governor cited the following :
“Name the New England states ”
One of the written answers received
was as follows:
“England, Ireland, Scotland Wales
and Cork.”
Another man substituted Belfast for
Cork, and still another included Africa.
The candidates were asked to tell
what they knew about Abraham Lin
coln. One man wrote that Abraham
Lincoln was a brave “ginral” and “fit”
the battle of Bunker Hili. Another
man wrote that Lincoln was a good
man, but he was killed by Thomas
Jefferson. Several identified Lincoln
as the leader of the Southern Confed
eracy, and several more had him killed
by either Quito, Garfield or Jefferson
Davis.
After telling these stories the Gov
ernor paused. It’s a long time since
his breath was first taken away by the
answers above, but even to this day he
gasps when contemplating them.
What then is the conclusion that
the governor draws? Simply this, that
any man who can make such answers
is not sufficiently intelligent to be a
good New York city “cop ”

SENT TO NICARAGUA.
The Detroit Ordered to Proceed There
at Once-News From Otis.
Washington, Feb. 22 —Orders were
sent today to Commander Dayton, of
the cruiser Detroit, now at New Or
leans, to proceed to Bluefields, Nica
ragua. This action follows the protest
to the government of Nicaragua
against inte.ference with the delivery
of messages from the navy department
to Commander Simons, of the gunboat
Marietta, now at Bluefields. The dis
patch of another war vessel is signifi
cant of the administration’s determin
ation to brook no sharp prac
tices which, it is supposed, are
being indulged in, with regard to
imperilled American interests in Nica
ragua. Some one has been interfer
ing with the department’s dispatches
and as the Nicaragua government con
trols the telegraph wires in that coun
try, a protest was sent.
Major General Otis sent very en
couraging reports today about the
He says that

Philippines and maintain order
throughout the archipelago.
A dispatch from Manila says: “The
United States transport Newport has
arrived here from Iloilo with dispatches
from General Miller to Otis. He re
ports all quiet at Iloilo. The American
troops there are occupying the sub
urbs, Jaro and Molo. Business has
been resumed generally with the out
side world Sime rice is coming in
from the provinces and there has been
no fighting since Feb. 12th. All is
quiet at Manila. The heat is causing
some inconvenience, but no casualties
are reported.

Ada E Hart, of Groton, 8. D “Was
taken with a bad cold which settled on
my lungs; cough set in and finally
terminated in Consumption Four
Doctors gave me up, saying I could
live but a short time. I gave myself
up to my Savior, determined if I
could not stay with my friends on
earth, I would meet my absent ones
above. My husband was advised to
get Dr. King’s New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds. I
gave it a trial, took in all eight bot

I am saved and now a well and heal

The Polygamous Wife-
But if any Gentile woman will try
to think how she would feel if her
husband were to tell her that he is
soon to bring into her home a second
wife, to usurp her place in the family
circle, share her husband’s affections,
come between her and the man who
had been her all in all for so many
years, that woman will have arrived
at a full, perfect, exact comprehension
of what a Mormon wife suffers. And
no religion, even if carried to fanati
cism, can save her from this natural
womanly grief. She hates and cures
the whole system ; she hates herself
and her husband ; she loathes the very
sound of the word polygamy; she dis
trusts every woman that she sees her
husband talking to; she would like to
purge herself, body and soul from the
taint of the very air of a spot of earth
that grows such noxious poison. While
the second wife reigns—that is .to say
until the husband , takes a third—no
real love exists between the first and
the recond.and seldom much pretense.
But when the third comes on the
scene, the sisterhood of a mutual
grief not infrequently draws these two
deserted women together in a real
bond of love. They then combine
their efforts to secure a fourth wife for
their mutual husband, so giving the
third a taste of the medicine that
each of them has been obliged in turn
to swallow By this time the matter
of taking wives comes to be a sort oi
a busir 6'B ventu-e with the husband,

LIFE IN SIBERIA
Hardens the Tourist and Strengthens
His Health.
The five year* that I spent in Sibe
ria were for me a great education in
life and human character. I was
brought into contact with men of all
descriptions ; the best and the worst;
those who stood at the top of society
and those who vegetated at the very
bottom—the tramps and the so-called
incorrigible criminals I had ample
opportunities to watch the ways and
habits of the peasants in their daily
life, and still more opportunities to
appreciate how li tie the state admin
istration could give to them though it
was animated by the very best inten
tions Finally, my extensive journeys,
during which I traveled over 50,000
miles in carte, on board stemers in
boat* and especially on horseback, had
a wonderful effect in strengthening
my health. They also taught me bow
little man really needs as s >on as he
comes out of the enchanted circle of
conventional civilization. With a few
pounds of bread end a few ounces of
tea in a leather bag, a kettle and a
hatchet banging at the side of the
saddle, and under the saddle a blanket,
to be spread at the camp fire upon a
bed of freshly cut spruce twigs, a man
feels wonderfully independent, even
amidst unknown mountains thickly
clothed with woods and in winter
time
Siberia is not the land buritdin
snow, and peopled with exiles only,
that it is imagined to be, even by many
Russiars. In its southern parts it is
as rich iu natural productions as are
the southern parts of Canada, and be
sides, 500.000 natives it has a popula
tion of more than 4,000,000 as thor
oughly Russian as that to the north of
Moscow—Prince Kropotkin, in the
Atlantic.

A Proclamation.
GEORGIA :
By A. D. Candler, Governor of said
State.
Whereas, Official information has been
received at this Department that on Jan
uary 9th, 1899, at Rover, in the County of
Spalding, one Bud Dickinson was mur
dered by an unknown party who escaped
and is now a fugitive from justice.
I have thought proper, therefore, to
issue this my Proclamation, hereby offer
ing a reward of One Hundred Dollars for
the apprehension and delivery of said
unknown murderer, with evidence suffi
cient to convict, to the Sheriff of said
County and State.
And I do moreover charge and require
all Officers in this State, Civil and Mili
tary, to be vigilant in endeavoring to ap
prehend the said unknown murderer, in
order that he may be brought to trial for
the offense wi’h which he stands charged.
Giver under my hand and seal of the
State, this the 21st day of February, 1899.
A. D. Candler,
By the Governor. Governor.

Matches.
The man who was old enough to
know better was chasing up and down
a Sixteenth street boarding house, try
ing to find a match to light a cigarette
with.
“Did it ever occur to you,” he said
to she num who finally found a light
for him, ‘‘what a boon and :» benison
the cigarette manufacturer has been to
the match manufacturer? Think of it a
moment. First, however, give me an
other match for this cigarette. J don't
know how many cigarettes are made in
this country, but let us, for the sake of
argument, say there are a thousand
carloads a year. Welt, it takes on an
average—another light, please—four
matches to the cigarette, and the manu
facturer of matches must therefore
make 4,000 carloads of matches just to
meet the cigarette demand. You may
not think 4,000 carloads is a great
quantity, but if you knew how hard it
was to get one match when your cigar
ette is out, you would think 4,000 car
loads wasn’t a few if you had to go
around begging them. I have never
given serious study to the matter, but,
looking at it casually, I should say the
match manufacturers owe an inestima
ble debt of gratitude to tho cigarette
makers.”—Now York Stin.-
Cash Versus Glory.
An ordinary service to mankind is
usually paid for at current rates in legal
tender. An extraordinary service, not
involving the element of heroism, is re
warded by both legal tender and more
or less fame. The highest of all services,
rendered at the risk of life, is supposed
to receive its full compensation in glory,
unaccompanied by more sordid consid
erations. If, however, the hero of the
service last mentioned should not be
contented with his meed of glory, but
should demand more substantial reward,
he may receive it indeed, but at a large
discount from tho other (and in senti
mental estimation more valuable) con
sideration.
Unlike tho butcher, the baker and
the candlestick maker, who receive
their quid pro quo without a thought
of humiliation, either in their own
minds or yours, the man who saves
your life at the risk of his own is looked
upon as almost if not quite disgracing
himself by accepting your proffered pe
cuniary reward, although he may, in
fact, be in far sorer need than any one
of tho worthy trio who simply contrib
ute to your necessities or comforts.—

Review.

PARSNIP COMPLEXION.
It does not require an expert to detect
the sufferer from kidney trouble. 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 bad 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 ha? a brick dust de
posit or - .. 1 r
When <-yiuptoms 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 ru»
I into Bright’s Disease, the most dangerous
. stage of kidney trouble.
Dr. Kilmer’s Bwamp-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 at any drug
store that no one need suffer any length
of time for want of it.
