INSURGENT LOSSES HEAVY
First Oregon Regiment aud a Volun

After Twelve Months of Service In
the Philippine islands.
Manila, June J4.—Before dark last
night the Fourteenth infantry swam
the Zapoto river, charged aud carried
the trenches, a heavy fusillade of artil
lery preparing the way and covering
the crosses. The insurgents broke for
the woods before the Fourteenth reached
them.
Almost at the same time the Ninth
ami Twelfth crossed a bar of the sea
and came upon their left flank at a point
Vi^ere a body of marines with Maxim
gum lauded under protection of the
ships’ batteries aud fired upon the
enemy's left rear with a demoralizing
effect.
The Twenty-first crossed tho river by
a bridge as soon as it could be mended.
Sixty-five dead Filipinos were found in
the trenches, most of them shot through
the head. Several 5-inch smoothbore
guns were captured with ammunition
marked “United States Navyyard."
After crossing the river the troops
Were withdrawn, with the exception of
the Ninth and Twenty-first, these regi
ments being left with four guns to
guard the bridge. As they were being
formed into companies the insurgents
commenced to fire volleys from the
bamboo jungle 300 yards away.
The regiments formed into line rap
idly and coolly, though under fire, and
cheering, rushed to the woods, driving
the enemy a mile away, the Filipinos
disputing every foot.
The Fourteenth encamped across the
river, the men caring for many of the.
Filipinos’ wounded. Eight prisoners
were captured. The majority of the
Filipinos wore red uniforms.
The first American volunteers started
for home today, the transports Newport
and Ohio carrying the Oregon regiment
and the First volunteer signal corps.
They sail for San Francisco by way of
Nagasaki, Japan, aud are expected to
arrive at their destination July 12.
The Oregon regiment left here 63
dead, being the total of its men killed
in battle and dead from disease as a re
sult of the year’s campaign. The troops
were cheered as the transports steamed
out of the harbor.

there is no use in
simply overcoming the

are plenty of mere stimu

composed of alcohol, which give a false
and temporary exhilaration followed by
relapse, hut lir. Pierce’s Golden Medical
Discovery is a true and radical remedy.
It contains no alcohol. It does not ine
briate or create a craving for intoxicating
stimulants. It does more than ifvercome
the outer symptoms of disease. It at
tacks it in its highest stronghold and
routs it absolutely and completely from
the very citadel of life. No honest
dealer will advise you to accept a substi
tute for “Golden Medical Discovery”
that he may make a little larger profit.

The convention took a recess until 3
o’clock.
The following platform was adopted:
“The Democracy of Pennsylvania, in
convention assembled, again renewing
our pledges of fidelity and devotion to
the sacred rights of the people; true to
the faith and principles of our party as
declared in the platforms of our several
national conventions, and prond of our
matchless leader, William Jennings
Bryan, realize that the issues involved
in the coming campaign in Pennsylva
nia are honest government, clean poli
tics and the redemption of our state
from Republican misrule and corrup
tion.”
The increase of public officials and
clerks and iii salaries is denounced and
charged with being payment for politi
cal obligations and causing a deficit of
over $3,500,000 in the treasury, aud
crippling chanties, schools and.adding
to the burden of the taxpayer.
<Jiltty mid Stone Roasted.
Continuing it reads:
“We deuonnee the indecent haste dis
played aud the disrespect shown the
people by the governor of the state in
the appointment to the vacaucy in the
United States senate of M. S. Quay',
who, to prevent a lull/Investigation be-
foro a jury of his country, pleaded the
statute of limitation against the most
serious charges of crime. In this ap
pointment, in the unwarranted reduc
tion of the appropriation to the public
schools and his unauthorized veto of
the constitutional amendment resolu
tion he lias violated the constitution,
usurped authority nowhere grunted him
and perpetrated wrongs against the peo
ple and tho ^tute that demand bis con
demnation.”
On ballot reform the platform reads:
“We favor a revision of the ballot
law, maintaining its secrecy, simplify
ing the method of voting and protecting
the voter against fraud aud coercion.
We also favor the amendment of the
constitution so as to require a personal
registration of the voters in the cities
and we denounce Governor Stone for
attempting, by his vote, to interfere
without right or justification with the
legislative act passed for that purpose
and thus attempting to preveut the peo
ple from passing upon this important
matter.”
O11 the question of trusts it reads:
“We are opposed to all combinations
of capital calculated to produce mo
nopoly or restraiu trade as being incon
sistent with the spirit of free institu
tions; and. if their establishment can
not bo constimtionally prevented, we
hold that they should be so regulated
and limited by proper legislation that
individual effort and opportunity shall
not be impaired.”
The platform closes with a reference
to the war in these words:
“We glory and rejoice in tho Datriotic
devotion to the cause of our country in
the late war with Spain of tho brave
ami noble men who risked their lives
and shod their blood in order that a con
flict waged for humanity's sake might
be brought to a speedy and triumphant
close.”
One Judge For Democrats.
For tho first time in many years tho
Democracy enters upou a state cam
paign assured of tho success of at least
a portion of its ticket. This is duo to
conditions governing the eloction of
two supreme court judges next Novein*
ber to fill / the vacancies caused by tho
death of Judge Williams and the retire
ment of Chief Justice Sterrett next Jan
uary. No elector is entitled to vote for
more than one candidate for this office
and as there will be-C.W’o elected, each of
the great parties will get one.
Governor Stone will probably appoint
the Democratic nominee as soon as his
nomination is certified to the state de
partment, in which event he would
rank the nomiuee of the .Republican
state convention, which will not meet
until August or September.
Ex-Congressman Simon P. Wolverton
and Superior Coipt Judge Smith of
Scranton are leading candidates.
The selection of the candidates for
the offices of state treasurer and su
perior court jndge and the making of a
platform has been almost entirely lost
sight of in the struggle for supreme
court judge. Only a few of the score of
candidates ars here, but e&clfc has bis
special manager, with a host of lieuten
ants and sbouters.
The best of feelingseems to prevail
among the friends of the various candi
dates and the rivalry thus far has been
vsry friendly.

Blair, Neb., June 14.—One of the
worst storms that ever visited this sec
tion of the state dropped down upon the
little town of Herman, located 10 miles
north of here, last night. For some two
hours before the storm took a disastrous
form, the clouds were of a threatening
color, and the air was hot and sultry. At
6 o’clock the storm seemed more threat
ening and the people were on their
gnard.
At 0:16 it was observed that the wind
was blowing from the northwest and
from the southwest and with increasing
violence. At U:30 it took the funnel-
shaped appearance and bore down upon
the town. The first damage done was
about 4 miles west of Herman at tha
Hawkins farm. Mr. Hawkins is dead
and his barns and outbuildings are in a
mass of rnina In the village of Her
man few buildings are left standing.
The bnsinesi portion and the residences
are piled np in a heap. That any es-
ed is iniracnlone.
'he bank owned and operated by
Representative J. H. Chambers is a
mass of rains. It was a substantial
brick. Hia home, an elegant frame, es-
ear the depot is a pile of rubbish
containing everything, from a pair of
boots to dead and wounded horses, hogs,
cattle, etc.
Two special trains have been sent up
from here and the wounded are being
cared for at the Clifton hotel. The
closest estimate is that eight aro killed
and 50 wounded.
Three Thousand Kmployee of Trust
Smelters Walk Out.
Denver, June 14. — The 3,000 eaf-
ployes of the trust smelters in Dsnver,
Pneblo and Leadville walksd ont at noon
after having eztingniehed the fires in
the big furnaces and pnt everything in
perfect order for a season of idleness.
All shipments of ore and fuel to the
smelters have been ordered stopped. As
a result many coni mines are preparing
to reduce their production and some
will close. Almost every industry in
the state will be affected.
The strike is due to the refusal of the
American Smelting and Refining com
pany to pay the same wages for eight
hours ns it has paid heretofore fot ten
or 13 hours.
W At Pueblo the men employed at the
blast furnaces of the Philadelphia
smelter, owned by the Gnggenheimsfa,
accepted the now schedule of wages and
continned at work, but all others went

Establishment of a lturul Police Sys

Atlanta, Jane 14.—An editorial in
the last number of The Saturday Re
view, a society journal published here,
has attracted much attention aud caused
considerable comment. It bears upon
the race question, aud more particularly
upon the arming of white women, and
says in part:
“Georgia club women, who aro hon
est in tbeir wish to' help their less for
tunate sisters, should petition the com
missioners iu each county to provide
every country woman, who has none,
with a pistol. Tho petition should also
embody a request that a body of rural
police be organized in every oounty for
the protection of the women and chil.
dren, and to pnt an end to the reign of
terror in wbiob they aro living today.
“It is certain that every member of
the Atlanta City Federation, number
ing 3,000 women, wonld sign a petition
of this kind, and there can be no donbt
that they wonld be joined by the clobs
in all parts of the state.”

Boston, Jane 14.—Reports reosivpd

will be excessive, for practically the
hay crop in sonthern England is a fail
