Bass, in a special letter othe Santa Cruz Expedition, in Harper's Weekly, reports General Lawton as caying that if the insur- gents continued to fight it would take one hundred thousands Amer- jean forces te pacify the islands. “By this he meant,” says Mr. Baes, “that it would be necessary to leave agarrison in every town we occu- pied. There are not enough soldiers to enable General Otis to carry on the war with that effective rapidity which is the only humane way to make war. We cannot at present spare a single man for garrison duty in Santa Cruz, or any other town we take. We haye only enough forces left to continue moving egainst the insurgent army to the north. It looks as if the war may continue an- other year. Give The Children a Drink ealled Grain-O. It is delicious, appetizing, Rourishing food arink to take the place of toffee.

I5c Rough Riders May Re-Eniist, Washington, July 6 —I. M. Bond of New Mexico is authority for the statement that Roosevelt's rough tiders will re enlist for service in the Philippines, with a bare possibility of their old colonel, the present gov- ernor of New York, accompanying them to Manila as a brigsdier gen- eral. “Every member of the regiment who attended the recent reunion at Las Vegas,” says Mr. Bond, “signed anagreement te go to the Philip- Pines if the opportunity presented itself. Col. Reosevelt has, I under- stand, received assurances from the President that an entire brigade, or- ganized along the lines of the rough tiders’ regiment, will be accepted to do duty in our pew possessions.” Gen. Corbin says he bas heard Rothing of such a plan.

Hughes Parry, pastor of the Moriah church, this city, broke his long fast at 11 a. m. Saturday morning—forty-eight days. He subsisted entirely on water and not a morsel of food touched his lips. He fasted in the hope of relieving a chronic ailment and his condition is considerably improved, although he is weakened | from the lack of nutritious food. Throughout the fast Mr. Parry has not been confined to his bed, and) short walks have been taken by him daily. Perhaps the most serious effect left upon him is the elight failing of his eyesight, attendant upon his weak condition. It is ex- pected he will recover this as he again receives his strength. For the first day or two Mr. Parry experienced intense hunger, but that soon left him and he was quite com fortable for some time after, until his weakened condition gave him dis- comfort What among human ills are more annoying than piles?

THE ALUM BAKING POWDERS, Names of Some of the Princ:pal Brands Sold in this Vicinity. The discussion in the newspapers of the effect upon the human system of food made with alum baking pow- ders and the publication of the em- phatic opinions from noted scientists that such powders render the food unwholesome, leading to serious disorders of the stomach, liver and heart, have caused numerous in quizies for the names of the various alum powders. Some time ago the health author- ities of St. Louis made an examina- tion of the baking powders sold within their jurisdiction. The names of the alum powders then found were reported and published The following list 1s made up from this report, from the reports of the state chemists of Nebraska and Minnesota and from other equally reliable authority. In Minnesota and Wisconsin of gueh importance do the food com- missions deem the matter that the names of the alum powders sold in each state are carefully ascertained and published. Similar publicity in this state would be in the interest of the people.

These powders are put up for the grocer and his name put upon the labels.by manufacturers of alum powders in Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City and elsewhere. The manovfacturers, itis said, find their efforts to market their goods in this way greatly aided by the ambitien of the grocer to sella powder with his own name upon the label, espe- cially when the grocer can make an abnormal profit upon it. Many gro- cers, doubtless, do not knew that the powders they are thus pushing are alum powders which would be actually contraband in many sections if sold without disguise. It is quite imposeible to give the names of all the alum baking pow- dera in the market They are con- stantly appearing in all sorts of dis guicez, under all kinds of cognomens and all kinds of prices, even as low as five and ten eents a pound. They can be avoided, however, by the housekeeper who will bear in mind that all baking powders sold at twenty-five cents or less per pound are liable to contain alum, as pure cream of tartar baking powders can- not be produced at anything like this price.

SEA IN TEXAS 500 MILES LONG. No Relief From the Horrors of! the Great Flood. a | DEAD MAY NUMBER A HUNDRED. Houston, Tex , July 5—The Tex. as sea is 500 miles long and 50 miles wide. Underneath the waters of the Brazos, which have wrought such terror and damage during the last six days, is what was once the| fairest portion of Texas,are probably 100 bodies and destroyed property worth from $7,000,000 to $20,000,- | 000, according to various estimates. If late reports prove accurate, the dead may be 100 more. The loss to! the farmers is from $5,000,000 to| $15,000,000. The other loss is on | railroad preperty and bridges. It i is | said that 160,000 bales of cotton| Sheriff W. H. Warren, after adjust- ing the noose and black cap, pulled the lever and in fifteen minutes hia pulse ceased to beat, his neck being broken. He made no statement and did not seem to realize what was taking place. By request the body, whieh he had willed to A. Hughes, have been washed away, that corn | in the submerged area is a total loss | that 1009 ears of melons worth| $100,000 had been ruined. The rivers which have caused the | | frightful destruction are the Big} Brazos the Little Brazos, the Colo- | rado, the Trinity, the Guadalupe, was taken to Undertaker Knell’s office where it was prepared by em- balming for burial. A large crowd gathered outside but only about 650 saw him drop. MeAfee shot Eben Brewer a south Joplin groeer, on Saturday night, July 31, 1897, while attempt- inga hold-up. McAfee had been loafing around Brewer's store for some time and learned that on Sat- urday night the merchant carried home the day’s receipts. In going to his home a block away, Brewer was in the habit of crossing an alley at the rear of his store and it was here that McAfee planned to rob him. Obarles and James Burgess and Sam Shoemaker were sought as accomplices and to them he-unfolded all of the details of the plot. Not one of the three, however, kept the appointment and MoAfee proceeded to carry out the holdup by himself. Shoemaker, in the meantime, had no- tified the pelice, who in turn warned Brewer that he was to be held up on his way home and offered him pro- tection. He rejected the offer, saying he would carry a gunin a paper sack giving it the appearance of contain- ing groceries, and when commanded to hold up his hands he would raise the sack and shoot. The oflicers concealed themselves in an alley and were close at band when the holdup occurred. Brewer fired firat, and although it was afterwards discover- ed that his shot took effect, it did net prevent McAfee from returning the fire, his shot taking effect in Brewer's left breast and from which he died ssven days later. The poliee fired shots at McAfee but he succeeded in escaping at the time. Later in the night he was cap- tured while leisurely strolling down Main street, but not until two days later, when Oity Marshal Morgan discovered a bullet bole in his coat, and upon further examination found the hole in his shoulder, would he acknowledge having been in the holdup. He bad also received a bul let in his left thigh and had plugged both wounds up with chewing tebac- co and pieces torn from the lining of his cost. He was found guilty and seatenced to be hanged. Riet at a Missouri Picnic Mountain Greve, Mc., July 5.—In addition to the shooting of Rolan Hepper at this place yesterday by Officer Wyatt, there was a pitched battle in the hills, 1S miles eoutheast of here, in whieh men, women ‘and children participated. A delegation from Ozark county came over to a picnic in Dougias Oe, with the purpose, it is charged, ef raising a riot or breaking up the meeting, which resulted in four of their crowd beiag besten iato um- eousciousness. The Ozark faction owes defeat to the onslaught of wives of two of the Douglas county men, who fought with rocks, clubs and bare fiste with telling effect. Eighteen warrants bave been sworn out and there is a probability of more treuble. To Cure Disease is to Cure the Blood suffer with bells carbansies old sores Se a 3 2 ee mend’ you. Itisa the Leon and Nueees. Al! their tributaries have overflowed. The region which has suffered | most from the flood is the famous Brazos bottom land between the Little and Big Brazos rivers. The rivers run parallel for a dis- tance of 35 or 40 miles, the tongue | of land between them being from two to five miles wide. The floods from the two rivers came together and cevered the lend between the rivers except the high knelle. It is estimated that 10,000 acres are covered. The following plantations in this section are reported under water: The Adoue, Brown, Garrett, Breck- man Anderson, Wayland, Whately, Lewis and Peters placer, along with many others down the river toward Hearne. The fieod news and lack of news is still disheartening. Calvert is still in the center of the sea that fails te dimninish though not rising, and but one ‘rain has reached the town in a week. Communication with Dewey Station and Brookshire, which was lost yesterday, has not been restored and the damage in the neighborhood can only be conjectur- ed. The river at Dewey station on the Missouri Kansas & Texas is ten miles wide. Dewey Station was small, but the country around it is thickly settled with truck farmers.
