PonH Hwrg.
Almost everybody remembert the cele
brated advice of the London I'unch, "To
those about to marry. Don't." There
is in that advice the expression of the
feeling of many a mother who says, " I
nope my daughter
will never marry
and suffer as I
have."
In ninety -eight
cases in every hun
dred there s no
need for this suf
fering. Doctor
Pierce's Favorite
Prescription cures
the womanly dis
eases which cause
wifely misery. It
dries enfeebling
drains, heals in
flammation and
ulceration and
etires female
weakness. It in
vigorates the
womanly organ

strength to give

Do not allow an unscrupulous denier
to sell you something in place of " Fa

as good." There is nothing just as good
for women as "Favorite Prescription."

General Funs ton Tells Story.
' of the Capture.
TASK SUCCESSFULLY PERFORMED.
Trusted Macnbtbe Sonata and Four
Former Inaaagrnt Officers Aided
the Americana In Their
Clever Scheme.
MANILA. March 20. Aguinaldo, who
was captured by tieuernl Funston nnd
brought to Manila on the United Stiitss
gunboat Ylcksburg, was brought ashore
lato yesterday afternoon and tuken be
fore General MueArthur nt the Mala
canau palace. He talked freely, but
seemed ignorant concerning what bad
happened recently. He appeared to bo
In good health and wo even cheerful.
He took luncheon with the officers of
General MarArthur'g staff and wait then
escorted to thn Anda street jail.
Aguinnldo's capture was attended with
considerable difficulty, an insurgent ma
jor being killed at the time of the event.
Twenty rilles and ft number of Impor
tant papers were captured. General
Funston has given out a detailed state
ment of the affair which is very Interest
ing. W: produce the main features:
The conlidenttal ngent of Aguinaldo
arrived Feb. '2H at 1'antabangan, tn the
province of Nuova' Kcijn, northern Lu
zon, with letters dated Jan. 11, 12 and
14. These letters were from Iimlllo
Aguinaldo and directed Iinldermsro
Aguinaldo to take command of the prov
inces of central Luzon, supplanting Gen
eral Alejnndrino. 10 1 1 1 1 1 i Aguinaldo al
so ordered that 400 men be sent him as
soon as possible, snying that the bearer
of the letters would guide these men to
where Aguinaldo was.
General Funston secured, the corre
spondence of Aguinaldo' agent and luld
bis plans accordingly. Some month pre
viously he hud captured the camp of the
insurgent general Lacuna, incidentally
obtaining I-ncmm's seal, official papers
and a quantity of signed correspondence.
From this material two letters were con
structed, ostensibly from Lacuna to Agui
naldo. One of these contained Information as
to the progress of the war. The other
asserted that pursuant to orders receiv
ed from Buldermero Aguinaldo Lacuna
GENERAL FUNSTON.
was sending his best compuny to Presi
dent Kmilio Aguinaldo.
' His plans completed and approved,
Gciierul Funston came to Manila and
organized his expedition, selecting 78
Macubcbcs, all of whem spoke Tagalog
fluently. Tweuty wore insurgent uni
forms nnd the others the dress of Fili
pino laborers. This Macnbebe company,
armed with 50 Mausers, IS Remingtons
and 10 Krag-.Torgensens, was command
ed by Captain Russell T. Hazzurd.
On the night of March 8 the party em
barked on the United Stutes gunboat
Yicksburg. It was originally Intended to
tuke cascoes from the island of Polillo
nnd to drift to the mainland, but a storm
arose and three of the cascoes were lost.
This plan was abandoned. At 2 a. m.
March 14 the Vicksburg put her lights
out and ran inshore 25 miles south of
Casiguran, province of Principe. The pnr
ty landed and marched to Casiguran. The
Americans had never garrisoned this
place, and the Inhabitants arc strong
insurgent sympathizers. Having arrived
there, the ex-insurgent officers, ostensibly '
commanding the party, announced that
they were on the way to join Aguinaldo
between Pnutobagun and Baler, that I
they had surprised nn American survey- !
ing party and that they had killed a mini- ,
oer, capturing nve. lliey exhibited uen
ertil Funston ond the other Americans as
their prisoners.
The insurgent presidente of Casiguran '
believed the story. Two of the Lacuna
litters, previously concocted, were for- ,
warded to Aguinaldo ut l'alanan, prov
ince of Isubella. General Funston and
the others were kept Imprisoned for three
days, surreptitiously giving orders at
night. On the morning of March 17, tak
ing a small quantity of cracked corn, the
party started on a 00 mile march to
Pulanun. The country Is rough and unin
habited, nnd provisions could not be se- I
cured. The porty ate small shellfish, but '
was almost starved. Wading swift rivers,
climbing precipitous mountains and pen
etrating dense jungles, they marched sev
en days and nights, and on March -'-! had
reached a point eight miles from Puluuun.
They were now so weuk that it was nec
essary to send to Aguinaldo's camp for
food. Aguinaldo dispatched supplies and
directed that the American prisoners be
kindly trcuted, but not bu allowed to en
ter the town. I
On tho morning of March 2H the ad
vance was resumed. The column was
met by the staff officers of Aguinaldo
nnd a detachment of Aguinaldo's body
guard, which was ordered to tuko charge
of the Americans. '
While one of the ex-insurgent officers
conversed with Ajguinaldo'n aid another,
a Spaniard, sent a courier to warn Gen- ,
eral Funston and the rest, who, with 11
Macabebes, were about an hour behind.
Having received this warning. General
Yunston avoided Aguinaldo's detachment
and Joined the loluinu, avoiding observa
tion. The Tngulog went uheud to greet
Aguinaldo, and the column slowly fol
lowed, tinally arriving at l'nlauiiu.
Aguiuuldo's household troops, 50 men
In neat uniforms of blue and white and
wearing straw hits, lined up iu receivo
tho newcomers. General Funstou's men
vrossed the river iu small bouts, formed
u tho bank uud niurcbud to tun right
And then In front of the Insurgent grena
diers. The Tn gains entered the house
where Aguinaldo was.
Suddenly the Ppnnlsh officer, noticing
that Aguinaldo' aid was watching tha
Americans suspiciously, exclaimed, "Now,
Macabebes, go for them!" The Maca
bebes opened fire, but their aim was
rather Ineffective, and only three Insur
gents were killed. The rebels returned
the fire. On hearing the firing Agui
naldo, who evidently thought his men
were merely celebrating the arrival of
re-enforecmonts, run to the window and
shouted: "Stop that foolishness! Quit
wasting ammunition!"
Hilario IMacido, one of th Tagalog of
ficers and a former InsuTVent major,
who was wounded In the lung by the
fire of the Kansas regiment at the bnt
tle of Caloocan, threw his arms around
Aguinaldo, exclaiming, "You are a pris
oner of the Americans!"
When captured, Aguinaldo was tre
mendously excited, but he calmed down
under General Fnnston's assurance that
he would be well treated. General Fun
ston secured ajl of Agttlnaldo's corre
spondence, Bhowing that he had kept In
close touch with the subchiefs of the In
surrection In all parts of the archipelago.
It was also discovered that Aguinaldo,
Jan. 28, had proclaimed himself dictator.
He had been living at l'alanan for seven
months, undisturbed except when a de
tachment of the Sixteenth Infantry visit
ed the town. On that.occasion the entire
population took to the mountains and re
mained there until the troops retired.
FUNSTON REWARDED.
Made a Brigadier General In IIns.
lar Arm),
WASHINGTON, April 1. Tho re
ward of General Funston for his bril
linnt and meritorious conduct has not
been turdy. The president and secretary
of war have decided the matter In a man
ner which ought to give general satisfac
tion to the general, his friends and the
country at large. The story Is told In
the following announcement mude nt tho
White House:
"To be major general United States ar
my, Rrlgadicr General Lloyd Wheaton,
vice Miles, promoted lieutenant general;
to be brigadier genernls In the regular
army, Colonel Jacob II. Smith, tfeven
tocutli !nfantry, brigadier general volun
teers, vice Daggett, retired, and Hriga
dier General Frederick Funston, United
States volunteers, vice Wheaton, pro
moted." One interesting feature connected with
the appointment of General Funstou to
the regular nrniy with the rank of briga
dier general Is that he Is likely to ix-coine
the lieuteuaut general commanding the
army.
AjKnlnnldo Takes the Oath.
WASHINGTON, April 3.-The war
department has received information
from General MacArthur that Aguinaldo
has taken the oath of allegiance to the
United States under the terms of amnes
ty offered By General MacArthur by di
rection of the president. The dispatch
conveying this information contained
much more than was given to the public.
RICE WAS MURDERED.
Valet Jonea Tell the Story of the
Crime.
NEW YORK, April 3.-Charles F.
Jones, the valet-secretary of William
Marsh Rice, the old millionaire of whose
murder Albert T. Patrick, the lawyer, is
accused, told on the witness stand yester
day, in the examination before Magis
trate Jerome, that at Patrick's instigation
he had given the old man mercurial pills,
oxalic acid and chloroform, from the
effect of which he died. He said that
when the mercuriul pills did not have the
desired effect Patrick gave him the acid,
which he administered to the millionaire.
Then, at Patrick's order, he held a sponge
saturated with chloroform over the old
man's face.
Jones gave a detailed account of the
way in which Patrick, David L. Short,
Morris Meyers and himself schemed to
muke out a will and other papers which
they got Mr. Ilice to sign. Short and
Meyers are under arrest for forgery con
nected with the will dated June 30, 1900.
The valet told in a deliberate, emotion
less uinnuer of the plot which reached
over a year and involved a stake worth
several millions of dollars.

CHICAGO, April 3,-Cartcr IL liar
risou has been re-elected mayor of Chi
cago for the second time and will next
week commence his third term ns the
chief executive of the city. Ills total
plurality over Judge Elbridge Hanecy,
the Republican nominee, will be iu the
neighborhood of 28,300 votes. The total
vote of tho city, with eight precincts to
hear from, is: Harrison, 15,275; Hane
cy, 127,202; Harrison's plurality, 2H.073.
In the last mayoralty election the vote
was: Harrison (Peru.), 148,400: Carter
(Rep.), 107,437; Harrison's plurality, 41,
05!), In the presidential campaign last
fall the city vote for president was: Me
Kinley, 1M4.780; Ilryiin, 177,105; Mo
Kiuley's plurality, 7.021. Samuel Al
schuler, the Democratic nominee for gov
ernor of the state, ran ahead of llryan,
however, his vote being' 18S.521 against
172,380 for Yates, a plurality of 10,135
for Alschuler.
Out of the 35 wards of the city Harri
son yesterday carried 20 nnd Hanecy !).
The vote was badly split, some of the
strongest Republican parts of the city
giving only a small plurality for the
party nominee and some of them going
for Harrison, who, however, suffered in
some of the Democratic strongholds. Tho
city wards were rcdistricted. after the
presidential election, und the regular ma
jorities in some other wards were turm d
squarely nround from what they have
always been.
The redisricting will make some dif
ference in the complexion of the next
municipal council, ns several of the alder
men who In ordinary circumstances
would have held over were rcdistricted
out of their wards. For these rea
sons it is impossible at this time to pre
dict the exact formation of the new
council, but the indications are at pres
ent that the. Republicans will have a
working majority. The present body
consists of 30 Republicans, 27 Demo
crats pnd 4 Independents. Of the hold
overs 10 aro Republicans, 15 Democrats
and 3 independents.
t. I.otila SHU In Doubt.
ST. LOUIS, April 3. It is not yet
known definitely which one of the six
mayoralty candidates has been victorious
in yesterday's election. Up to 10 o'clock
the meager returns received at the dif
ferent political headquarters were in
sufficient to base any sort of prediction
on. The returns are coming iu very
slowly owing to difficulty In counting the
ballots, there being six tickets in the
field. The labors of the ollicial counters
are also retarded owing to an immense
amount of scratching. Two men were
slightly wounded during the day In diffi
culties at the polls, but the day was com
paratively quiet considering the fierceness
of the contest. Of the partisans of the
half dozen candidates the Democrats are
the most jubilant, and while 110 definite
figures are yet at hand they are claiming
Wells' election by pluralities ranging
from 3,000 to- 8,000. Numerous arrests
on tho charge of illegal voting and the
carrying of coneeuled weupons were
made during the day.
Minnesota Elections.
ST. TAUL, April 3. Municipal elec
tions were held in the various cities of
the third class throughout the state yes
terday. Tarty lines were not drawn,
and in many cases there was but one
ticket in the field. Wherever the IsBtie
was "license" or "no license" the former
has been successful. In several in
stances the question of Issuing bonds for
various improvements wus voted upon.
Nebraska Towns Favor License.
OMAHA, April S.-r-The issue in nearly
every small town in the state was license
or no license, aud reports received from
50 villages Indicate that the majority
have gone for license. In a few of the
larger towns politics entered into the
campaigu. The vote generally wus light.
Topeka Women Carry the Day.
TOI'EKA, April 3. The complete re
turns indicate thut J. E. Hughes, Repub
lican and temperance candidate for may
or, is elected by a safe majority. Tho
woman's vote will elect the entire Re
publican ticket.
Allen Expected to Realfrn.
WASHINGTON, April 3. It is the
general expectation in administration cir
cles that Churles II. Allen, governor of
Porto Rico, will tender his resignation to
the president on his return to the United
Stutes. He is now on his way to Hamp
ton Roads on the United States station
ship Moytlower. Governor Allen has not
intimated to tho president or any of the
officers here thut he will not return to
Porto Rico, but when ho went away from
Washington on April 21, lust year, It was
with the understanding that lie would not
be expected to stay in Porto Rico for
more thuu a year.
