FRIDAY. MAKCII 34. 1899
OUR COUNTRY : First. Last and Forever,
It might be pertinent just nt this
time to remark, that it culm always
precedes the storm.
The indications point to McKinley
and Reed as the Republican standard
bearers in 1000. It would be a winner.
Col. InqkiisolIj says that "Bryan's
day is over. He knows more than he
did." The Colonel's tirst sentence is
accurate. The second is a shade too
optimistic.
It takes $12,000 to pass an Ameri
can troop-ship through the Suez
Canal. The only way to keep even
in this business Is to build the Nicar
agua Canal.
Tiik country hopes that the brief
vacation of President JJoKinley will
be in every way restful. Within the
past year the President has been
through an ordeal few men have been
called upon to sustain.
It is amusing to notice the eitorts
of alleged Democratic editors to read
the gold Democrats out of the party.
These same editors have, and are
even now advocating the election of
Republicans notably in the Sena
torial contest.
Govkunoii Stone has announced
his approval of House bill providing
for the payment of School Directors
for attending the tri-ennial conven
tion for the election of County Super
intendents, and for the punishment
of candidates who pay Directors'
expenses.

lican remarks that "Senator Morgan
not so long ago was fighting like a
tiger for the independence of Cuba
by the recognition of the United
States Government, yet now he says
that the Cubans are not capable of
self-government." Moreover, the
Republican seems to be surprised at
this change of base on the part of the
Alabama Senator. Yet if that paper
keeps a close watch on matters in the
United States and Cuba it will find
that there is a steady change of senti
ment in Morgan's direction in both
these localities.
If Congress were in session to-day
and a vote were taken on the question
of the recognition of Cuban indepen
dence the number of members who
would declare in favor of It would un
doubtedly be found to be less than
half as many as were talking for
recognition twelve or fourteen months
ago.
Many things have been made clear
by the war which were more or less
obscure previously. The forces of the
insurgents were found by the Ameri
cans to be less than half as great as
was supposed before the war began.
The civil government which the junta
in this country said was in operation,
and which, aocording to those per
sons, levied taxation and exerted
authority throughout a large part of
Cuba, was revealed to be virtually
non-existent when searched for after
American intervention took place.
The discoveries of the past twelve
months have proven that the Insurg-
ents were not the dominant element
of the population. The separatist
faction, so far as recent developments
reveal, is steadily shrinking. The
Assembly, which was put up by the
insurgent army, Is losing standing,
even among the persons who were re
sponsible for its creation. The
thoughtful members of tbe Cuban
population probably never, since the
rebellion ended, were anxious for tbe
independence of the island. As time
passes the separatist sentiment will
.grow feebler and feebler. The recent
disturbances in Costa Rica and other
Spanish-American countries are cal
dilated to thin the ranks of the separ
atists.
The annexation of Cuba to the
United States, by the free ohoice of a
majority of the Cuban population, is
as certain as any political occurrence
of tbe future can be.

Washington, March 24. The capture
of Caloocan, in the Philippine Island of
Luzon, by tho United Stntes forces re
cently resulted In the confiscation of con
siderable mall addressed to the Insurgent
government. In Includes a number of
letters of Agulualdo and other leaders
nnd brings out some interesting facts
about Filipino oillcial methods. Postal
Agent Vnillo, at Manila, hns forwarded
some of tl!s mail to Acting Postmaster
General Heath.
One letter is addressed to Agttlnaldo's
so-called secretary of the treasury, nnd
is In reply to a request for money.
Tho writer Is apparently tho fiscal
olllcer at Lucena, Luzon, to whom the
Insurgents had entrusted tbe duty of
"squeezing" the merchants, and he has
apparently confiscated for the Insurgent
cause a lot of cocon fiber belonging to a
large tobacco company. When asked to
turn over the proceeds the agent re
marks that only $3,500 had come into
his hands, nnd that amount he had paid
to the troops, who were clamorous for
more. The letter is written In very fair
Spanish.
The above letter is addressed to "Quir
Ino Klensar, the secretary of the treas
ury of the revolutionary party of these
Islands," and concludes: "I again beg
you to take proper Btcps to prevent the
complaints of soldiers. God keep you
for many years."
Apparently Agulnaldo's treasury of
jicials arc running short of paper, for the
outer covering of the lcttter Is made of
a sheet of paper, written all over, torn
out of a record book, and it was tied
around with a fragment of manlla bag
elng. Another captured letter received by the
postofflce department was sent from the
provincial governor of Antipolo address
ed to Agulnaldo's secretary of the in
terior, In which lie apologizes for not be
ing present at Malolos at the promulga
tion of the constitution, assigning as a
reason that the telegram commanding
his presence, though dated Jan. 21, only
reached him Jan. 23, two days too late.
To atone for his absence he says he or
dered all the local municipal presidents
to get up demonstrations and cry: "Long
live Filipino independence, and down
with nnnexotion." This is signed by
Governor Jose Eliros, governor of Anti
polo. Some Intercepted letters to Aguinaldo
himself have also come into the posses
sion of the postoftlce department.

Spring
Millinery
Opening.
Thursday, March 23, 1899.
THE FAME of this Department
has penetrated the far corners of
everywhere ; nnd yet but seven
years old. Visitors to the city
should not forego the chance of crit
ically looking into the store they've
heard so much of as the phenome
non of the land.
There is much to see ; much to
sell if you want to buy ; much
profitable knowledge in modern up-to-date
style headgear for the Spring
of '99.
We have surprised you with un-
matchable values in the past in this
department, why shouldn't we sur
prise you in the future, and more
so ? Our present facilities, cover
ing as they do the best mi'linery
producing centres, are positively
unequalled.
We have made a strenuous effort
to crown this season with the love
liest stock we ever had. How great
has been our success we'll leave for
you to judge when you come .and
let us untold to your wondering eye
the immensity of our Millinery col

beauty the new Spring Hats and
Bonnets are !
What skill, what taste, what in
genuity the Milliner Artists have
displayed ! What beautiful com
binations of Feathers, Floweis,
Ribbons, Laces and Straws !
Every fashion that will be popu
lar in foreign cities will be repre
sented in our Grand Millilierv
Display.
The two special prices for this
day iu ready-trimmed Hats will
be the $2.50 and $5.00 specialties,
for the first day opening only ;
neither can be matched at double
the price. The other prices vary
from $1.98 to $23.95, all interme
diate prices.
In this Spring Millinery we ex
hibit over 1 ,000 ready-trimmed hats,
and the special features for the
opening day will be the most hand
some decorations that have ever
been produced in this Mountain
City, and is worth your while to
come far as well as near.
We extend a hearty welcome to
one and all.
It is with pardonable pride that
we invite your attention to our
Dress Goods Department.
With the opening of Spring
comes the desire for new outer gar
ments. If you are fond of shop'
ping we would suggest looking
around then come to us and see
the newest, as well as the most sty
lish, dress fabrics and rt.idy-made
suits. Our Aim is good quality
and consistant prices. 1
During the first day of the open
ing we shall dispose of as many of
our natural Palms as is possible,
and will offer to the public the
choice of 100 Palms which are con
sidered a bargain in large, cities at
$1.25, for 50c. each. The five and
six yearlings at $2.50 each. They
are magnificent Palms and cost from
$50.00 to $60.00 per hundred any

Washington, Mnrch 24. Admiral
PatnpKon linn received from the president
the following reply to his letter of March
I), ISO!):
"I nm In receipt of your very consliler
nte let tier of the 0th hist., in which you
express n desire that, without reference
to your own interests, the other naval
ofllcers who rendered such conspicuous
service In the naval cnmpalgn In the
West Indies may have the advancement
which you recommend for them, and la
which you nsk nothing for yourself. I
highly command this disinterested ac
tion on your part. Let me assure you
that I have the highest appreciation of
your services as commander In chief of
the Atlantic naval forces during the
Spanish war, In blockading Cuba , co
operating with the army, directing the
movements of tlio groat number of ves
sels under your orders, and nt last, after
the. most effective preparation, consum

under your command, the destruction of

of your service and of your great skill
that I recommended you to the senate
for tlio advancement which you haa
earned."
Women Should Know It.
Matty women suffer untold agony and
misery because tbe nature of their disease is
not correctly -understood, They have been
led to believe that womb trouble or female
weakness of some sort is responsible for the
many ills that beset womankind.
Neuralgia, nervousness, headache, pufly
or dark circles under the eyes, rheumatism, a
dragging pain or dull ache in the back, weak
ness or bearing-down sensation, profuse or
scanty supply of urine with strong odor,
frequent desire to pass it with scalding or
burning sensation, sediment in it after stand
ing in bottle or common glas? for twenty-four
hours, are signs of kidney and bladder trouble.
The above symptoms are often attributed
by the patient herself or by her physician to
female weakness or womb troublci Hence, so
many fail to obtain relief, because they nre
treating, not the disease itself, but a reflection
of the primary cause, which is kidney trouble.
In fact, women as well as men are made
miserable with kidney and bladder trouble
and both need the same remedy.
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is the great dis
covery of the eminent kidney and bladder
specialist, and is easy to get at nny drug store
for fifty cents or one dollar.
To prove its wonderful merits you may
have a sample bottle and book telling all
about it, both sent absolutely free by hiail,

Itesoiiod From Llvlne Tomb.
Lcadville, Colo., March 24. At mid
night two mine pumpmen, Charles
Itouss and Bert Frey, who were impris
oned at Bon Air mine 13 days ago, were
reached by the rescuers and restored to
their friends. They show little effects
of their experience. They were on the
430 foot level when a caveiu near the
top of the shaft cut them off from the
outer world. Fortunately the big water
pipe was not broken by the cave, and
