Landlord Guthman's ! Makes Things
Decidedly Interesting Vor Him.
Landlord Guthmann of the Perkins
house has a dog which made things
decidedly interesting for a burly col
ored hobo last evening. The animal
is kept in the back yard, and, while
not of a quarrelsome disposition, he
is averse to having suspicious looking
strangers around the premises.
About supper time last Saturday the
fellow was seen prowling around the
place, evidently seeking a "hand-out,"
and when the dg commenced to bark
Mr. Guthmann went out to see what
the trouble was. He notified the
stranger that if he expected to get
anything to eat he would have to
make an application to that effect in
the office. The bum evidently did not
care to follow such a course, and
started away grumbling.
A half hour later the folks in the
kitchen were startled by hearing a
loud commotion in the yard. They
heard loud cries for help, and the
angry growls from the dog made it
apparent that all was not harmon:oui
out there.
It developed that the 6tranger de
cided to return wnether for a gocd
or evil motive is not known and when
Mr. (iulhmann arrived on the scene
.he was horrified to t-eo the animal
making b murderous attack upon the
seat of the visitor's trousers. It was
some time before the dog could be in
duced to release its hold upon the poor
felUstsf's pantaloons, but when this had
been accomplished it was noticablo
that aVut a yard of cloth was missing,
and the aforesaid pantaloons looked
like they bed been in a tornado.
A kind hearted gentleman who had
witnersed the affair tooK pity on the
poor fellow, and gave him another pair
of troweere, but it is not thought he
will again prowl around Mr. Guthman's
back yard.
Many Lives Saved.
Id aim ft every neighborhood there
is someone whose life has been saved
by Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy, or who has been
cured of chronic diarrhoea by the use
of that medicine. Such persons make
a point of telling of it whenever op
portnnity offers, hoping it may be the
means of saving other lives. For sale

LHTTKICS OF COXDOLliXCK.
Officers of the Thirty-Ninth Speak
Io
High Praise of Lieut. Wangh.
The many friends of Mr. and Mrs.
Waugh will read with relief the let
ters of CapU-in J. B. Caughey, Lieu
tenant A. E. Courtney and other com
rades of the Thirty-ninth infantry, who
were the companions of Lieutenant
Itichard Waugh in the Philippine isl
ands. The suspense endured by the parents
of the deceased since the receipt of the
fateful rews of his deith (February 27)
has beet terrible, and their many
friends in this city who have sorrowed
with them, and who have been to a
great extent under the same strain, re
joice that they have received the defi
nite facts surrounding the unfortunate
death of their son. It is a great re
lief to these parents and their friends
to know that Lieutenant Waugh died
possessing the love, confidence and re
spect of the brave men who were fol
lowing the fl g of their country with
him in these far-off islands.
In their great sorrow it is a profound
relief to them and thtir friends to
know that the young man died while
on duty, refusing to leave the front or
ev.en temporarily go upon the sick list.
Worn out in one of the hardest cam
paigns in the history of the American
soldier; sick and entirely unfit for duty,
he refused to leave his command and
place himself under thesurgeon's care.
The strain was too much, ai d when
reason was momentarily dethroned the
deed was done.
Lieutenant Waugh'a recotd, as
shown by the testimony of his brother
ofllcers and the men who served under
him, was most excellent. To know
that he did his duty; that he was
brave; that he was competent to dis
charge tho duties entrusted to him as
a commissioned officer; to know that
he was loved and respected by his su
periors, his equals, and his subordi
nates, and that they wrapped the flap:
of his country about his bier, and with
full honors escorted his remains to the
transport which was to bear him in
this sad home comine to the Na
tional cemetery at Arlington there to
sleep the long, long sleep on fame's
eternal camping ground is a solace
and satisfaction to all who honor and
respect his parents and people, and to
all who honor and revere the name
and fame of the American soldier.
CALAMBA, P. I.,Feb. 2S.S. Wuugh,
I'lattsmouth, Neb. Dear Sir: Ing
before you receive this letter you will
have learned the sad news, and 1 know
with whit suspense you will wait for
particulars. I can hardly realize what
has h-tppened; it doesn't sotra possible
that Dick is deid I am uaable to ex
press my sympathy for yourself and
family. I have put ctT writing just as
long as I could; 1 have been so un
nerved that I hardly know what I am
doing. It is impossible to tell you how
mucn I will mUs Dick: he seemed more
like a brother to me we had come to
know each other so well. I bo'.ieve
that I understood him better than any
one else in the army. Ho c:ime to me
with his little troubles, and he male a
confident of me in almost everything.
He was well liked by ollcers ud men
all through the regiment, and no one
can say that Dick Waueh ever shrank
from any duty,no matter how disagree
able or dangerous it might be; ho was
a soldier through and through. In
the engagements the company was in
he was always at the front urging the
men on, and never having a thought of
danger.
Dick had been ailing for some time,
but wouldn't give up. In the cam
paign from Janutry9 to February 11
he worked hard, and was always ready
for any autv that came up. 1 was
j
afraid he would break down, and cau
tioned him to take more rest, but he
laughed at the idea. Since we got
back he has been constantly on the go
for the past ten days. lie was at work
eettineruoa field day. While other
officers would find lime to rest during
the dav he never would. At last his
nervous system broke down, and we
know now that for several days he wa6
not responsible.
For three nights before the end he
uever slept. lie would complain in
the morning about not being able to
rest, but that seemed to wear away
during the day. The last night he
woke me up several time, and would
sit on tho edge of my bunk and talk. I
realized then for the firr-t time how
sick poor Dick war; he imagined all
sorts of things was going to happen to
him. 1 tried to cheer him up and
laughed at his imagination. One re
mark that be made was that he wished
he was home so that his mother could
take care of him. I insisted on his go
ing on the sick lift, but he said the
men would think he was a cold foot, as
be expressed it. He finally promised
to see the doctor in the morning. I
thought then that 1 would have Joe
watcb him the next day,but when that
time came he seamed so much better,
and thinking it would irritate him if
he discovered it, I changed my mind.
He would not stay in bee, but was
bound to get up and dres-t. I met him
up town about 8 o'clock and he told
me be was on his way then to see the
doctor. Courtney and I were io our
quarters shortly after 9 o'clock, when
he came into the room. I isked him
if he saw the doctor. Tie Siiid yep. I
asked him why he didn't sty at the
hospital and rest. He told me that
the doctor said be might come to his
quarters if he wanted to.
He went to the ttble, got his note
book and left the room, returning in a
few minutes and going to his trunk
taking something out; he had got to
the door when I saw it was a revolvor.
I immediately started after him, but
just had time to cross the room when I
heard a shot, and was at his side when
he fell. One of the men ran for the
doctor, but it was too late. He only
lived about five minutes, never regain
ing consciousness. He breathed his
las', at 9:16, a. m., February ii7. We
had him dressed in bis blue uniform.
The body was sent to Manila to be em
balmed, Lieutenant Courtney going
with it this morning.
The remains were placed on an artil
lery caisson, both companies and all
the officers turned out to escort the re
mains to the wharf. The honorary
pall bearers were Captain Baker.Lieu
tenant Boyer, Lieutenant Orton, Lieu
tenant Williams, Lieutenant Covell,
Thirty-Linth infantry. Lieutenant Sim
erall. Fifth artillery, Lieutenant
Buckey, Third artillery, and Captain
Scott of tke Thirty-seventh. Lieuten
ant Ccpp was in charge of the escort.
Captain Scott was a classmate and
chum of Dick's at the Point. He was
very glad to sea him. He had Scott
over for dinner several days ago, and
they p issed most of the afternoon talk
ing over old timos, and Dick ssemed in
the best of spirits.
Extending to you all my heartfelt
sympathies, I am, very sincerely,
J B. Caughey.
Calamba, P. T., March 5 Dear
Mrs. Waugh: I want to express to
you and the family my heaitfelt sym
pathy on this sad occasion It will be
it pleasure for vou to know that the of
ficers and enlisted men knew and ap
preciated Dick's worth as a soldier and
man. His bravery in times of strife
called forth the highest praise from his
snoerior officers. His many kind
nesses to the enlisted men made bim
many friends, I have been with him
in many trying times, and I always
found him brave, loyal and willing to
perform more than his share of haz tra
ous duties. The incessant marching
under a tropical sun and over obstacles
almost insurmountable, I think, was
wholly responsible for the condition of
his nerves.
His body was embalmed at Manila
and arrangements were made for the
body to go forward on the oheriaan
You will find his sword in the box.
The regiment has lost one of its bast
officers, and the men one of their best
anritruest friends.
The officers of this battalion wish
me to express to their deepest sym
pathies. Yourfiiend,
A. E. Courtney.
OUTLOOK IS OMINOUS

Where the Mayor Has Suppressed the Or
gan of tho Black People and Arrested
Its Editors Rare Issue Clearly Defined
There as It Is In the South Labor Riot
at San Juan, I'orto Rico One Man
Killed and Several Wounded Troops
Called Out.
Santiago de Cuba, April 7. The first
important action of -the new mayor,
Senor Grinan, in suppressing El Cu-
bano Libre Thursday and placing the
editorial staff of five men under arrest
created intense excitement when it be
came known. El Cubano Libre had
itlwavs been Intensely radical in Its ut
terances against Americans, Spaniards
and white Cubans. Thursday it pub
lished an editorial both offensive and
indecent In criticism ot the civil gov
ernment, particularly the municipal
branch. The editorial characterized
the palace as "an otlicial sewer and a
cpssoool of moral corruption." and
used other language not fit for publica
tion. It charged officials with steallns
even specifying contracts and with
selling immense quantities of valuable
timber belonging to the municipality,
particularly l.ttuO trees of mahogany
that were delivered on contract for
$100.
White I'enple Support the Mayor.
Furthermore the editorial asserted
that Senor Grinan became legally in
capacitated for holding office jears ago
on account of corrupt conduct. The
new mayor, who proposes an aggres
sive and progressive administration,
nctiny under General Wood's order of
March '24 giving mayors the control of
public order, confiscated ' the printing
plant and lodared the editorial staff In
jail. He justifies this step on grounds
of public decency. The Americans, for
eigners and best class of Cubans ap-

Negro Talking of an Outbreak.
The colored party objects and says
the time has arrived for decisive ac
tion. The colored General Rabi and
other leaders were telegraphed to come
immediately to Santiago to head a
"popular movement against the Amer
icans and the Cuban traitors." There is
considerable excitement in the city,
and it Is expected that the release of
tho editors will be followed by riots.
All the police of the city and the rural
guards are under arms and ready for
an emergency. The friends of annexa
tion are pleased with the situation.
They say that the attitude of the Cu

the Impossibility of pelf-government.
All the papers except The Independen

LABOR 3IOBS AT SAN J CAN.
Riot Results In the Death of One Man
Others Seriously Injured.
San Juan. Forto Rico, April 7.
At 4 p. m. Thursday the natives made
a concentrated movement at Puerto
Tiera. Different mobs, totalling about
J.OOO men, attacked the foreign col
ored men. Any English-speaking ne
gro was subject to attack, particularly
the natives of St. Thomas and St.
Kitts. One Porto Rican was killed,
one was seriously injured, and three
negroes of St Kitts were dangerously
wounded. The affair was the outcome
of the pier strike, and the pretence of
the attack, apparently, was that the
English islanders were usurping Forto
Uican labor. The islanders anticipated
trouble, and some of them were armed
with revolvers.
The mob entered the house of a St.
Kitts' man. " His abdomen was slashed
with a machete. Another St. Kitts'
man was stoned, escaped to the root
and was forced to jump to the ground.
He was followed in the street and
stoned until exhausted, when his head
was hammered into a Jelly. A com
pany of infantry under Captain Alex
ander and Lieutenants Ansell and
Parker was called out, martial law
was declared, and soldiers now
patrol the streets and the rumshops
are closed. The mere presence of the
soldiers dispersed the crowds. There
were no demonstrations after the ar
rival of the troops.
The condition of affairs necessitates
the presence of troops indefinitely, in
order to prevent more trouble. .The
municipal police are utterly Inadequate
to preserve order or handle any crowd.
Thy stood by during the riot as specta
tors, and made no attempt to inter
fere. The Puerto Tiera district of San
Juan Is about a mile from the city
hall. It is understood that the British
consul has demanded protection for
British subjects, though the authori
ties here will not make any statement
on the subject.

A sore heals promptly when the blood is in good condition, but novon if it is diseased. The
tendency of these old sores and ulcers is to grow worse, spreading and eating deeper into the flesh.
They are a constant drain upon the system, gradually but surely ruin the health and sap the very life.
A person's capacity for work or pleasure is soon lost in the great desire and search for something to cure.
S. S. S. makes a rapid and permanent cure of old sores and ulcers, and is the only medicine that
does, because no other can reach deep-seated blood troubles. Ordinary Sarsaparilla and potash mixtures
are too weak and watery to overcome a deadly poison that has taken possession of the blood. Do not
waste valuable time experimenting with them.

WsrtmtnH took a number of blood remedies, but none did me any good. I had heard S. S. S. highly recommended
and concluded to give it a trial. The result was truly gratifying. S. S. S. seemed to get right at the
trouble, and forced the poison out of my blood ; soon afterwards the sore healed up and was cured sound and well. 1 now
