A Frenchman has completed an in

a cannon is fired. Now if they will
get rid of the bullet war will be per
fectly lovely.
No IlllVoroiice In thu Cut.
The dlirerence between perity
phlitis and uppendicitis seems to be
that one is of a little older fashion
than the other. The knife used in
the cure is equally sharp in both
cases und quite up to date.
I.uat Sinn to Bo Tortured.
J. B. Mntzcnaur, who died recently
i Appenzcil, in Switzerland, was the
last mnn who was subjected to ju
dicial torture in that country. Ho

shot during tho war in Cuba njid
tho Philippines, C80 were killed and
4,333 wounded. The mortality of
those struck was 11.9 per cent., or
ono man killed for every Tvl wound

Tho steel frame umbrella is light,
convenient nnd much less clumsy
than its predecessor with a wooden
haft; but there is an element of
dnnger in it. A woman at Atlantic
City, a day or two ago, was struck
by a bolt of lightning attracted by
tho metallic frame of her umbrella,
and men have been killed inadvert
ently letting the steel points of their
umbrellas come In contact with low
hanging electric lights.
Iillo Soiih of lllcli Men.
Tho rich young man who will not
work and who spends unprofitable
and foolishly the money his laborious
father left him is one of the favorite
topics of tho stern moralist. A pro
fessor at the university of Chicago
enlivened his lecture on tho dry sub
ject of "Rent and Interest" by hold
ing up to Bcorn the idle and extrava
gant sons of tho rich. He branded
them ns "parasites," who should not
be allowed to draw their interest.
A Moili'ftt Mint of MIIIIoiih.
The modest man of millions in New
York is Anthony llrady, a member
of at least 43 corporations and owner
of some $50,000,000, which ho madu

Everything ho touches turns to dia
monds. Not since lie quit tho ensh

made a mistake. As a tea and ehlnn
broker ho established n fortune.

Washington, July 5. The president
lias formally declared the restora
tion of peace in thu Philippine archi
pelago and lias placed thu islands un
der complete civil control and has
extended general amnesty to the Fil
ipinos who havo been in rebellion.
These three tilings, marking one of
the most Important chapters in Phil
ippine history, were accomplished
through the issuu of three separate
orders and proclamations, ono by the
president over his own signature,
extending amnesty; ono through Sec
retary Hoot by the president's or
der, relieving Gen. Chnfieo from his
duties as military governor, and a
third which takes the shape of a gen
eral order, addressed to the entire
army of the United States, in which
Secretary Hoot takes occasion to ex
press thu president's high apprecia
tion of the work It lias accomplished,
both in Cuba and in the Philippines.
The address to the army says:
The president on this anniversary of
national Independences wishes to exprcBS
to tlio olncera and enlisted men of tho
United States army his deep appreciation
of tho service they have tendered to
tho country In tho reat and dllllcult un

Tho president thnnks tho olbcers and
onllsted men of tho army In the Phtl
IpplncH, by regnlnrs and volunteers, for
tho courage and fortitude, the Indomlt
nble spirit and loyal devotion with which
they havo put down nnd ended tho great
Insurrection which hns raged through
out tho archipelago against tho lawful
sovereignty and Just authority of tho
United States. Tho task was peculiarly
dllllcult and trying. They were required
at flrst to ovorcomo organized resistance
of superior numbers, well equipped with
modern urina of precision, Intrenched
In an unknown country of mountnln de
nies, lungles and swamps, apparently
cnpnblo of Interminable! defense. When
thlH reslstanco hnd been overcome they
wero required to crush out a general
system of guerrilla warfare conducted
among a peoplo speaking unknown
tongues, from whom It wns almost Impost
slblo to obtain tho Information neces
sary for successful pursuit or to guard
against surprise nnd ambushes.
Hound themselves by the laws of wnr,
our soldiers wero called upon to meet
every dovlco of unscrupulous treachery
and to contemplnto without reprisal the
lnlllctlon of barbarous cruelties upon
their comrndes nnd friendly natives.
They wero Instructed, whllo punishing
armed reslstanco, to conclllato tho friend
ship of tho peaceful, yet hnd to do with
a population among whom It was Im
possible to distinguish friend front foe,
and who in countless Instances used n
false nppenronco of friendship for am
bush and assassination. ,
Undor all theso' adverse circumstances
tho army of tho Philippines hns accom
plished Its tnsk rapidly nnd completely.
In more than 2,000 combats, great and
small, within tlireo years. It hns exhibited
unvarying courngo and resolution. Util
izing tho lessons of tho Indian wnrs It
bos relentlessly followed tho guerrilla
bands to their fastnesses In mountain
nnd Junglo and crushed them. It hns
put nn end to tho vast system of Intimi
dation nnd secret assassination by which
tho peaceful natives wero prevented from
taking a genulno pnrt In government un
der American authority. It has cap
tured or forced to surrender substantially
all tho leaders of thn Insurrection. It
has added honor to the (lag which It de
fended and hns justified Increased confi
dence lit tho futuro of tlio American peo
plo, whoso soldiers do not shrink from
labor or 'atli, yet love liberty and peaco.
Tho president feels that ho expresses
tho sentiments of all tho loyal peoplo of
tho United States In doing honor to tho
wholn army which hns Joined In tho per
formance nnd shnres In the credit of
thao honorable services.

proclamation of amnesty July 4 tho
guard of American soldiers has been
withdrawn from tho house where
Aguinaldo lived in Manila nnd Lieut.
Johnson, Agulnaldo's custodian,
brought the Filipino yesterday to see
Gen. Chaffee. Agnlnnldo was told
that he was free to go anywhere ho
pleased, and Gen. Chalteu asked him
If lie hud any complaint to make of
American discourtesy or harshness.
Aguinaldo replied that he had no
such complaint to make. He told
Gen. Chaffee that ho was going to
ibit friends at his homo in Cavito
Vie jo, in Cavito province, and in
quired what protection the Ameri
can authorities would afford him.
He seemed to bo afraid to venturo
out. Gen. Chaffee replied that Aguin
aldo would get tho same protection
ns any other citizen. The release of
the former Filipino lender hns re
newed speculation ns to possiblo
.engonnce upon him by friends of
Luna and his other enemies. Luna
was a Filipino lender whom Aguin

of President Roosevelt, a bill for tho

Kansas City, Mo., July 7. There is
said to be no longer doubt thnt tho
Standnrd oil magnate has entered
the packing field nnd is practically
in control, although there is an at
tempt to keep hidden the identity of
the new financial backers of the com
bine. Tho entrance of the Rockefel
ler millions is said to be due partly
to inability on the part of the active
promoters to swing so gigantic n
financial proposition without power
ful support from outside sources,
nnd partly to the fact that Rockefel
ler was already heavily interested
in the Swift packing plants a'nd other
Swift interests.

A JOKE ON THE PREACHER.
Hut It Proved n JAltlo Kxncnnlvc to
the riuiiiy Fellow "Who
l'lnycd It.
"Out in a Colorado town," said
Representative Shnfrolli to n party
of colleagues in the cloakroom, ac
cording to tho Washington Post,
"there was a hotelkeeper who liked
to play poker, and also went to
church with his wife on Sunday. Ono
morning, when the plate was passed,
he had nothing in his pocket except
n penknife nnd a round bit of cellu
loid marked with tho figure 5.
Thinking to hnve a joku on the par
son, he put the poker chip in tho
plate.
" T fooled thu preacher this morn
ing,' he remarked to his wife when
they reached home.
"The next morning the preacher
came around to see the hotelkeeper.
'Brother Smith,' ho said, T noticed
you put this chip in the contribution
plate yesterday. Does tho figure
stand for five cents or $5?'
" 'Five dollars, of course,' answered
tho hotelkeeper.
" 'Thank you, Brother Smith,' said
the preacher, 'and will you redeem
it this morning?'
"There was nothing else for tho
hotelkeeper to do t except to shell
out his $5 into the'prencher's hand.
And, when he told his wife that night
what had happened, it did not seem
funny at all."

SAVED THE BABY.
New Providence, Iowa, July 7th. t
Little Helen Moon, the three-yenr-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. V. Moon,
of this place, had a narrow escape
from death.
Her mother noticed she seemed to
be very clumsy and complnincd when
she was rocked. Her limbs and face
were bloated badly.
A doctor was summoned but she
got no better. He said she had Kid
ney Trouble in thu worst form.
Two other doctors were called in
nnd they ngrecd that there was very
little, if any, hope. She was bloated
all over, her eyes being completely
closed and her abdomen bloated un
til it wns purple.
They bought six boxes of Dodd's
Kidney Pills and she commenced to
improve at once. She had used nine
boxes before the Dropsy was nil
gone. The treatment w.-is continued
nnd now she is as well as ever.
Dodd's Kidney Pills certainly saved
the little one's life.
