Manila, J une 14.—The complete de-
moralization of tbe rebel forces was
effected last night by the Fourteenth
Ninth and Twelfth infantry, aided by
a heavy artillery fire and the deadly
work of a marine gun in the hands of
a party of marines. Shortly before
nightfall the Fourteenth swam the
Zapote river, aud. killing like mad-
men, charged and carricd the trenches.
The rebels began to run before the
Americans emerged from the water.
A few minutes later the Nintti anil
Twelfth came across and sout volley
after volley into the Heeing insurgent*.
About 70 dead rebels were found in
the trenches. A number of five-inch
amooth bore guns, marked " United
States navy yard," were captured by
the Americans.
Later tbe rebels opened fire from
Kunglea.when the Twenty-first,which
had crotaed the river, gave a cheer
and rushed Into the woods. The Fili-
pinos fought desperately, lut were
finally driven a mile away.
SKETCHES
Of Happening* in the Territory
During the fast Week.
There are over 20 buildings now in
course of construction in Chandler.
Chandler is agitating the subject of
erecting' a commodious brick school
bouse.
So far as the wheat harvest has pro-
gressed it is claimed that the yield i6
jreater than was anticipated earlier
n the season.
The lawyers of Chandler have joined
in a request to Judge Hurford not to
set any term of court for Lincoln
county until the regular fall term.
Judge Deckcr has a son, Arthur,
well known to the young men of Guth-
rie, now in the army at Manila. He
belongs to the United States Light
Artillery
Cleveland county has refunded $45,•
000 worth of her bonds. M. L. Turner
was the purchaser of the refunding
bonds, and he paid^the county 81,000
premium for them.
Judge Robert Neff, of Newkirk,
when getting off a railroad train in
the future will keep his weather eye
on his footing instead of blinking at
the crowd on the depot platform.
Oklahoma is now dubbed "the
youngest and smartest child of the
icpublic." and is a marvel to the staid
inhabitants of the older portions of
the country, who are not accustomed
to the vim, energy and enterprise of
our citizens.—Newkirk Herald.
John Edwards was Sentenced to lf>
days in the city jail for beating his
wife, at El Beno. Judge Dan Peery
would have given him more but for
the pleadings of his wife. Last night
or this morning Edwards broke jail
and headed due north, bis destination
probably being -Wichita.
John D. Rhodes, of Hennessey, who
was a member of Roosevelt's rough
riders, has been issued a certificate of
merit in recognition of his efiicient
services in the Cuban war. Rhodes is
the gallant Oklahoma boy, who,though
wounded, slipped away from the hos-
pital and joined his comrades on the
liring line before Santiago. He is now
in Cuba, where be has a lucrative po-
sition. The merit certificate was is-
sued on the recommendation of Col.
Roosevelt and bears the signatures of
President McKinley and Secretary
Alger.
Billy Walker, agent of the Kiowas
tod Comanches, was in El Reno the
other day and in an interview said: "I
expect and am entitled to another in
veatigation. I have endeavored to do
my duty as well as I knew how, my
books and papers are straight, my re-
lations with both white men and In-
dians have been pleasaut, and I can't
see why men, on whom I Ifave spent
time and money,helping tc make them
what they are, should take an under
hand course in seeking to deprive me
01 my position. A thorough investi-
gation of my conduct of affairs at the
Anadarko agency will show that 1
have done all that mortal man could
do in the premises.
The Ponca City Courier 6ays: "Our
progress ve, and, under ordinary cir-
cumstances, orderly little neighbor,
Tonkawa, has experienced unnatural
agitation on religious matters during
the past wei k. Chosen representa-
tives of the Christian and Baptist de-
nominations proposed to prove that
the other crowd was a gang of ornery
and unregenerate sinners. In the
very nature of things it was impossi-
ble to keep personalities out of Buch a
controversy. They crept in more and
more toward the end of tbe discussion
with the result that the whole affair
ended in a disgraceful wrangle, dis-
trusting to sensible people of all be-
liefs, and discreditable to the cause
which churches are supposed to pro-
mote. Joint discussions of any subject
rarely result in benefit, and the exper-
ience of tbe Tonkawa people is not an
exception to the rale."

is Killed
Scripps-McRae League.
Victoria, B, C., June 14 —Passengers
who arrived hereon theOottage City
bring news of a most alarming condi-
tion of affairs on the headwaters of
Stewart river. The Indians have been
brought face to face with starvation.
One tribe alone has lost a fifth of its
number, 30 dying out of a total of ISO,
whiU cannibalism is declared to have
been resorted to by others. While
three prospectors were encamped on
Hidecree^c a Chilkat girl came to them
on a bitter winter night, imploricg
protection She hud been in their
tent but an hour when twelve gaunt
looking members of her tribe appear-
ed, the girl's father at their head, and
demanded that she a company them
Two days later the prospectors learned
that the unhappy girl hail been killed
by the chief at the command of the
tribal doctor as an offering to the sup-
posedly offended deity responsible for
the shortage of food.
HOUNDLAP COTTON KALES.
To Sullnfy Hit* Demand I lie Kiitlre Crop
Will Ktentnally l o no Baled.
For once th£ cotton planter has an
ally among the great corporations.
For years the cotton tie ring, the bag
ging combine and the compress people
have all lived off the cotton grower.
There was no way to fight them and
so they grew rich on theii4 enormous
profits, which the farmer had to pay.
Now the American Cotton company,
with its roundlap bale, is in the field
aqd it is so revolution!/, ng the cotton
handling business that luany of the
old expeuses are necessarily wiped
but. The farmers must inevitably get
a large share of this saving, but the
old compress people ami the bagging
jnd tie trusts are raiding a great com-
motion against the 'American c tton
company as though tin y hud always
been the friend of the farmer. Un-
fortunately for them they never
played the friendly act before and now
the farmers doubt the sincerity of
their repentance.
Tbe Roundlap Bale is the trademark
name given by the American cotton
company to its round bale to rtistin-
nuish it from all other hales. The
cotton mills of New England and of
Europe are eager buyers of this bale,
because as compared with all other
bales it has many ad vantages covered
by broad patents, which will greatly
lessen the cost of manufacture to the
ill. This Roundlap bale eliminates
two or three processes in manufactur-
ing and as the cotton mills of the
world are willing to pay more for this
cotton than for any other, it naturally
follows that to secure the highest
price all southern cotton must in time
be put up in this Roundlap form. Mr.
Win. C. Lovering, one of tbe most dis-
tinguished cotton mill men of New
England says; —
"I do not hesitate to say that the
time U coming when the cotton man-
ufacturers all over the world will in-
sist that their cotton shall be deliver-
ed to them in the form of a Roundlap
bale."

Houston, Texas, June 14.—Today
the police authorities forccd the con
grcgation of negroes from Hutes' ware-
house, which they had converted into
a tabernacle, and fumigated and dis-
infected the place thoroughly. There
were over 500 negroes in the building,
where they had been fasting and pray-
ing to be delivered from the fiood of
scalding water and ignited oil that
was to descend and destroy Houston
at midnight last night. The faithful
were attired in long blue gowns that
reached to the floor and were trimmed
in red, They would pray, shout, sing
and exhort until they fell in a swoon.
During the fasting and praying one
baby was born. The negroes reali/.e
now that they were woefully duped by
Prophet Smith, and if he is caught by
the now infuriated negroes he will be
lynched. Smith is under cover in Gal-
veston.

Fight on the Associate J nit Ice May be
Renewed
The story is current that the fight
to remove Judge John L. McAtee,
Democrat, from the bupreme bench, is
to he renewed by Okla'joinans who
were turned down several months ago
when they asked that a Uepublicau be
appointed in Judtre McAtee'a place. It
is said that Iowainlluence is relied on
to remove Judge McAtee. With Col.
David Henderson as speaker of the
house, Iowa will be a powerful factor
at Washington Theie is a Republi
can lawyer in Iowa who wants to come
to Oklahoma and who wou'd like to
have the position held by Judge Mc-
Atee The Oklahoma Republicans
who are after Judge McAtee'a scalp
see in these conditions an opportunity
to satisfy their wishes
fudge McAtee smiled when asked
about the storv today. Incidentally,
he said that he numbered Col. Hen
derson among his personal friends.
Judge McAtee is a native of Maryland
where friends of influence have done
much to line up that state for Colonel
Henderson for speaker. Should the
investigation ut Washington result
lisastrously to Governor Barnes it is
not probable that thy fight on McAtee
will be renewed.—Kansas City Star.

W say the old way, but really it is
very common one at the present
time, and many dyspeptics and physi-
cians as well consider the first, step to
take in attempting to cure indigestion
is to diet, either l y selecting certain
foods and rejecting others or to greatly
diminish the quantity usually taken.
In other words, the starvation plan is
supposed by many to be the first essen-
tial.
The almost certain failure of the
starvation cure has been proven time
and again, but still the moment dys-
pepsia makes its appearance a course
of dieting is at once advised.
All this is radically wrong. It is
foolish and unscientific to recommend
dieting to a man suffering from dys
pepsia, because indigestion itself
starves every organ, every nerve and
every fiber in the body
What the dyspeptic wants is abun-
dant nutrition, which means plenty of
good, wholesome, well cooked food,
and something to assist the weak
stomach to digest it. This is exactly
the purpose for which Stuart's Dyspep
sia Tablets arc adapted, and this is the
method by which they cure the worst
cases of dyspepsia, In other words,
the patient eats plenty of wholesome
food and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
digests it for him In this way the
system is nourished and the overwork,
ed stomach rested, because the tablets
will digest the food whether the
stomach works or not. One of these
tablets will digest 3,000 grains of meal
or eggs.
Your druggist will tell you that Stu-
art's Tablets Is the purest and safest
remedy for stomach troubles,and every
trial makes one more friend for this
excellent preparation. Sold at fiOc for
full sized package at all drug stores.
