Life is a duel in the dark with disease. One false step, one mistake, | and the attack comes swift and sudden. The mistake*which commonly opens the way for an attack by disease is neglect | | of the symptoms of stomach trouble. When eating is followed by undue full- ness, belchin, sour or bitter risi etc., disease is attacking the stomach. The best way to frustrate such an at- tack is to use Dr. Pierce’s Golden Med- ical Discovery. It cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition, and makes the body strong and healthy. «I was suffering very much with my head and | stomach.” writes Mrs. W. C.

Fiske Warren, the first man to take the oath of allegiance requircd under the re- | cent act of the Philippine ®ommission of | all suspects wishing to land, has been closely identified with Sixto Lopez. Many treasonable and inflammatory proclama- tions were founl in his baggage. Regard- ing this he said he hcld only one copy of each, having retained these as souvenirs. It is known also that he was intimate with the members of the junta in Hong- kong. He at first objected to taking the oath, saying that he was a loyal citizen, | but he signed it when notified that on no other condition would he be allowed to Japd. o of bis fellow passengers told Cvil Governor Taft that Warren and Lopez shook hands and retired for consultation upon hearing of President McKinley’'s as- sasination. Governor Taft considers the action of the commission in requiring all suspects to swear allegiance perfectly justified. HUGEES' LATEST REPORT. Unfavorable Condition in the Gen- eral’s Jurisdiction. WASHINGTON, Oct. 18.—As of interest in connection with the report from Samar, Adjutant General Corbin to-day mude public a report’ by General Hughes to General Chaffee_ dated August 20, on the situation in that island. General Hughes ys: i The progress in Samar is satisfactory in some ways and not in others. The subduing of the fighting propensities of the war faction ls re- duced almost to a nullity. The growth of our strength in the estimation of the people is also quite satisfactory. The fact is, thelr love for the flesh pots, and incidentally for the Ameri- cans who represent said pots, i& growing bur- densome, as the securing of the hemp with which to pay for rice is becoming a heavy busi- ness. In nearly all ‘our posts where the com- | mander has exercised good judgment, colonies | of natives have come in and settled and con- cluded they would set up their lares and pen- | ates under our wing. These colonies differ in strength, but in_this vicinity, or between the Hibitan ‘and the Candara rivers, about sixteen thousand have come in. In the interior Blanca Aurora, Taviran, Matuguinao, Oquendo, etc., have their colonies. The troops we have cap- tured show that the armed forces are desert- ing and breaking away from military control of tne Vicol leaders. The unsatisfactory features are the slowness of the process of conversion, the fallure to get the rifies and the slowness and the difficulty in making roads and trails. Every foot pre- sents its peculiar obstacle, but the troops are doing all that can be justly demanded of them, have been made to push faster, 1 am entirely satisfled with the results thus far secured. commands ara small, but I hope I have not made a mistake in underestimating the fighting ability of the forces now in the fleld against us.

Just at this date the bulk of the rifles seem | to be in the region just west of the' Calubig | River. There are now five detachments in there | making it uncomfortable for the people; one on the Pambujan, one on the Mondragon, two | moving east from the Upper Cagarman and ope | moving north from Taviran and San Enrique. | The Pambujan Mountain is the objective, | speaking generally, of all these detachments. The people of Bohol seem to be gradually | coming to the opinion that they made a mis front. Our cause is growing stranger with the peo- ple in Cebu, and while the outlaws there will have to be roughly dealt with there is no doubt that we will find much assistance from the na- tives themselves in doing so. I hope to be able to go over there in person\by the Ist of Sep- tember and try to push matters, In Leyte the last surrender was that of the | acheco.

HALIFAX, N. 8, Oct. 13—On Pictres Ledges, a mile and a half from Low Point, on the shores of the east coast of Cape Breton, lies the big steamer Man- chester Shipper of the Manchester line. She is fast aground and it will be diffi- cult to“float her. Two tugs were unable to budge her. Her ballast will be re- moved and another attempt made at once to get her off. The Manchester Shipper France, on October 5 for Montreal, with 213 steerage and nlne saloon passengers. She ran short of coal and Captain Goldsworthy decided to put into Sydney for bunker. Low Point was sighted at 10 o’clock last night and a few minutes later Pilot Ratchford boarded her and took her g‘x charge. The night was clear though raining and the differ- en(e lights could easily be distinguished. The pilot was only on board ten minutes when a colloguy i5 said to have occurred, Captain Goldsworthy said: ““I am afraid that you are getting too near the shore.” “I know what I am doing,” was the pilet's respense. The captain again remonstrated with/| the pilot a few moments later and this time the pilot was about to heed the cap- tain's warning, but before he could do so the big ship was hard and fast aground. Her crew of forty-three men and all the passengers, with one exception, are still on board. ———— Christmas Holidays in Mexico.

Cooper, Territotial Secretary and for sev- eral months prior to his departure for the United States acting Governor of Hawaii, has discussed with Secretary of Agricul- | ture Wilson the conditions in the Terr.i- | tory. One of the main aims of Cooper’s | trip here is to acquaint the administra- tion with the actual situation in Hawail. In his conference with Secretary Wilson | he emphasized the seriousness of the la- bor problem. The natives are dying off rapidly, the mortality being in the neigh- borhood of forty deaths to the thousand, and foreign laborers are getting out of the country much more rapidly than they are coming in. The emcouragement of Chi- nese labor, said he, is regarded as the { most promising solution, and the Territo- rial government is anxious that large numbers of laborers shall come in from China. The sugar cane crop that should have been harvested at the beginning of July, he sala, 1s not yet oft ihe neid and will not be harvested before next month. The natives generally will not work. ‘ne coftee industry is languishing, and many things that should be raisea there have to be bought ouiside the isiands. Secre- tary Wilson informed Cooper of a report from the superintendent of the agricul- tural station in Honolulu showing, among other things, that it costs $26 an acre to fertilize the cane crop In Hawaii, and pointed out the big farm wage which has to be paid to farm laborers, viz., $40 a month, including board, which is, approx- imately, $10 more than in this country. Cooper suggested that the average farm wage might be even greater. Secretary Wilson told Cooper of the plans the department was making for Hawali and said that he intended to build up, the coffee, spice and rubber and other industries and to help to diversify the Ha- walian industries. No attention will be paid to the sugar industry there, as Wil- son contends that that already is devel- oped to the limit. The department pur- poses, sald Wilson, to make all these isl- ands within the United States raise what- ever is adaptable to them individually and to furnish everything that is needed among. themselves. Cooper called at the Interior Department to-day and finally revised his annual re- port which he has submitted to Secretary Hitchcock. He says all experiments have shown that the Americans are not fittted for labor in the islands, and that there is nothing to do but to get foreign labor. Cooper says this in nowise will affect the labor conditions in the United States, as the entrance of foreign labor already is sufficlently guarded against here. e points out that 320,000,000 worth of ma- chinery and similar supplies had to be bought from the United States for use in Hawall during the last year, and said that improved conditions there’ would ad- vance commercial conditions here. He will leave for Hawall next Thursday. Officer Saves Him From Suicide. VALLEJO, Oct. 18.—Charles Lehan, a sailor on the French iner Marguerite Molineux, tried to hang himself in the City_ Prison to-day, but was discovered by Officer Scully, who cut him down be- fore life was extinct. The man had writ- ten two letters, one to his father In France and the other to the French Con- sul in San Francisco. It was on com- plaint of the captain of the vessel that the sailor was arrested and he was in the City Prison awaiting trial. ts | ed their convenience. | | | of officers the decision of Superior Judge | | fornian Woman Suffrage Associa- | Sloss on the application of Mrs. A.

She| referred to the assassination of President McKinley by an anarchist and said the national c¢ry of “Down with anarchy” made the establishment of schools where the right of franchise may be truly taught imperative. If women had the right of suffrage much of the crime aris- ing from the misuse of the franchise would be impossible. It was a shame, she concluded, that women who bore their shares of the expenses of government should be denied the right to declare by their vote how that government should be conducted. Mrs. A. L. Cotbert of Palo Alto followed | with an address, in which she recounted her personal experience in woman's suf- | frage clubs. She found that it was essen- tial to think of things which would give women something to do. Reference was made by the speaker to the tax protest movement as growing everywhere, and she suggested that.some action be taken to make it a State move- ment. Mrs. Lucy W. McMann, an attorney of San Jose, in discussing the general gues- tlon of woman’s-rights, said it was nec- | essary for women to study the .aws of their State as relating to the rights and privileges of their sex. It too often hap- pened that women demanded the enact- ment of laws which were already on the | statute books. There was no use cutting a pathway through a dense chaparral to the Temple of Justice standing on the hill when on the other side is a wide road- way already in existence. Continuing she sait We'll reach the temple some day, but we won't do so unless we know more of the laws governing our sex. The laws of this State are fairer to women than they are to men. For instance a woman may place a homestead upon her husband’s personal property, but the man cannot in any way incumber his wife's personal property. Class legislation is unconstitutional and If we want to win our fight we must take the matter into the highest court of the land. “We took it there once,” said a dele- gate, “and the court ‘turned us down.’” Mrs. McCann replied that the judiclary of the land was elective and that some | that women who pay | Work in Clubs VITAL TOPICS IN CONVENTION s Criticized and PRINCIPAL SPEAKER AT THE ENING SESSION OF WOM- AN SUFFRAGE CONVENTION. Berkeley. Her remarks were warmly ap- | | plavded. | %= A paper on the subject of taxat! out representation was read by Mrs. Bes sie Blodgett of Massachusetts. Mrs. Em ma Shafter Howard spoke on coeducation. | - day Judges would be elected who would not “turn the women down.” Mrs. E. L. Smith of San Jose urged the formation of a 1 ind of 100 or 200 women taxpayers to w rk in the taX-protest movement. If su h a league, backed by a few millions of capital, were to begin op- erations the demands of women would be respected. The matter of the formation of a league was discussed. One delegate wanted to know in what way capital could be effec- tive in forwarding the suffrage movement in the courts. Mrs. Smith answered that capital is a power even in the courts. All men, even Judges, respect wealth and if the interest of wealthy women is enlisted in the movement the woman suffrage as- pect will change materially. One of the most thoughtful addresses of the afternoon was delivered by Mrs. B. Fay Mills on the subject of the new wom- an. The age demanded new women as well as new men, she said. The idea that | the new woman must necessarily sacri- fice her domesticity and womanhood by taking up the higher thought seemed re- pugnant to the speaker. The argument taxes should not vote while that privilege is granted to male inmates of the almshouses all over he land was_ridiculous. There is too much nonsensical talk aboug the equality of the sexes. You might as well talk apout the equality of a circle and a triangle. The only equality is in the association of the sexes in a common aim. The holy attribute of the true woman is motherhood, she sald; were the zeal, sym pathy and all the ennobling qualities of true motherhood to be injected into pol- itics the world would be better than it is to-day. Mrs’. Blodgett followed with the reading of a poem and an adjournment was taken until to-da Addresses on “Practical will be delivered by Mrs. Willilam_Keith and Mrs. M. P. Peton. Austin Lewis will speak on “Later Ten- dencies of the Woman Movement” and Dr. Sarah Elliott will lecture on “The ‘Women of Utah.” Reception to Delegates. A reception was tendered to the conven- tion delegates at Native Sons’ Hall last night by resident members of the asso- ciation. The hall was well fllled, and cor- dial greetings and well wishes for the cause were the rule. The committee in charge consisted of Mesdames A. R. Wood, E. O. Smith, Dor- othy Harnden, Emma Shafter Howard, Reuben Mastick, L. McCann _and Misses Carrle A. Whelan and Clara Schlingheyde. During the evening there were vocal renditions by Mrs. Marie C.
