"With my nightly rest broken, owing

Intensely from severe pains in the
small of my back and through the kidneys,
and annoyed by painful passages
of abnormal secretions, life was anything
but pleasant for me. No amount
of doctoring relieved this condition, and
for the reason that nothing seemed to
give me even temporary relief I hc>came
about discouraged. One day I
noticed in the newspapers the case of a
man who was afflicted as I was and
was cured by the use of Doan's Kidney

remedy were so sincere that on the

Gold From Poor Bock.
About the nearest approach there Ja
to manufacturing gold, says the Mining
Investor, goes on night and day in
the Black Hills. Occasionally bunches
of very rich rock are found there, but
ninety per cent, of the ore is of low
grude, running from $2 to $10 per ton.
This grade of rock, however, is there
in such vast quantities that it can be
handled economically. In the old days
the ore treatment consisted in crushing
the rock under the stamps and collecting
the free gold on the plates.
This, of course, did not make very
clean saving, and as the workings be
came deeper the rock was more ana
more refractory. Then the cyanide
method was tested, and found to be
just what was wanted. It is estimated
that millions upon millions of dollars'
worth of gold have in the past been allowed
to wash down the gulches practically,
and that all of this could have
been saved had the cyaniding system
been in use. It is principally this
which has given such an impetus to |
mining in the Black Hills in the last
two or three years.

REPORT OF GENERAL MILES
His Criticism of Conditions in Philippines
Made Public.
WATER CURE AND ARSON ALLEGED
The Lieutenant-General Treats of In*
tances of Cruelty Reported to Him?
Bureau Chief* at Washington Dl??ent
From HIi Opinions?The Report Given
Out by Secretary Root.
Washington, D. C.?In reply to the
charge of anti-imperialists that he
dared not reveal the allegations of cruelty
to Filipinos made by LieutenantGeneral
Miles, Secretary Root ordered
the publication of General Miles' Philippine
inspection report.
While the charges of cruelty have
caused the greatest comment here General
Miles' statement that the Philip
pines are no better defended now than
Ave years ago; his urgent recommendation
for establishment of a naval station
at Olongapo; his prediction of a
terrible famine within a very short
time on acount of the drouth and disease
among domestic animals have also
attracted great attention.
In his address to the Secretary of
War General Miles says that in going
from Calamba to Batangas In November
last he noticed that the country
appeared devastated and that the people
were very much depressed.
Stopping at Lipa he says a party of
citizens, headed by the acting presidente,
met him and stated that they desired'to
maae complaint of harsh treatment
of the people of that' community,
saying they had been concentrated in
towns and had suffered great indignities.
that fifteen of their people had
been tortured by what Is known as the
water torture, and that one man. a
highly respected citizen, sixty-five
years old, named VIncente Luna, while
suffering from the effects of the torture
and unconscious, was dragged from- his
hoiisp. which had been set on fire, and
was burned to death.
They stated that these atrocities were
committed by a company of scouts under
command of Lieutenant Hennessey
and that their people had been crowded
into towns, 600 being confined in one
building. A doctor of the party said
he was ready to testify that some 'of
the 600 died from suffocation.
General Miles said he looked at the
building, which was one story In height,eighteen
or twenty feet wide and possibly
sixty or seventy feet long. He
asked for a written statement *o be
forwarded him at Manila, but says he
never received it, and adds:
"I have n$ reason to disbelieve their
statements; in fact, the instances of
torture in the case of the man Luna
having been tortured and burned to
death are confirmed by other reports."
General Miles then refers to other
cases, saying that In the Island of Cebu
it was reported and published in November,
1902, "that two officers, Captain
Samuels. Forty-fourth Infantry,
volunteers, and Lieutenant Feeter,
Nineteenth Infantry, had committed
similar atrocities against the people of
that island. It Is also reported that at
Laoag, on the Island of Luzon, two natives
were whipped to death.
"At Tacloban, Leyte, it was reported
that Major Glenn ordered Lieutenant
Caulfleld, Philippines scouts, to take
eight prisoners out into the country,
and that if they did not guide him to
the camp of the insurgent Qulson he
was not to bring them back.
"It was stated that the men were
taken out and that they either did not
or could not do as directed. One of the
men, who had a son among the scouts,
was spared, but the others were separated
Into two parties, numbering three
and four respectively, and while tied
together were all murdered by being
shot or bayoneted to death, some being
in a kneeling position at the time.
"The pretence was made that they
were killed while attempting to escape.
but. so far as I know, no official report
was ever made of the circumstances.
These facts have been reported by
Major Watts, who investigated the
case. Besides Lieutenant Caulfield,
Civilian Scouts Ramos. Preston, Corn
and MeKeen were participants.
"It appears that Major Glenn, Lieutenant
Conger and a party of assistants
and native scouts were moved from
place to place for the purpose of extorting
statements by means of torture,
and it became so. notorious that this
party was called 'Glenn's brigade.'
Whether it was possible for officers to
be engaged in such acts without the
personal knowledge of the general upon
whose staff they were serving at the
time. namely. Brigadier-General
Hughes, I leave for others to conjecture.
,
"These facts came to my notice in a
casual way and many others o? similar
character have been reported In different
parts of the archipelago. In fact,
I was informed that it was common
I talk, {it th? places where officers congregated
that syfh transactions had
been carried on* either wjth th^connivance
or approval of certain commanding
officers. It Is, however, most gratifying
to state that such atrocities have
been condemned by such commanders
as Generals Lawton, Wade, Sumner,
Lee, Baldwin and others."
Continuing his report to the Secretary,
General Miles says the law was
violated in handling and buying large
quantities of rice, which was sold at a
profit. The people who were in the reconcentration
camp were, says General
Miles, "considered prisoners of war,
but were compelled to buy food from
those who held them at a large profit."
General Miles speaks of the magnitude
of the transaction, which involved 21.000,000
pounds of rice and other supplies,
at a cost of $306,320. He says

A reply to the foregoigg portion of
the report has been prepared by Judge
Advocate-General Davis in a letter to
the Secretary of War, in which he
says:
"The incidents which are set forth in
the enclosed special report have been
made the subject of special investigations;
in some instances these have
been conducted by courts-martial and
their findings and sentences have been
duly promulgated in orders; in others
the inquiries have been intrusted to inspectors
or to officers designated for
that purpose by the commanding general
in the Philippines."
Replying to General Miles' recommendation
that beef on the hoof be supplied
to the troops In the Philippines,
General J. F. Weston, CommissaryGeneral,
states:
"In my judgment it is not a feasible
or economical plan, and there should
be no departure from the present system
of supplying frozen beef."

times. Concerning the purchase of rice
that was done with my knowledge, and
I am willing to stand by it.
"This rice was bought with money
taken from the insular treasury after
consultation with General Bell. We
sold at a profit of twenty-five cents on
every 133 pounds, and the profits were
used to relieve destitution in othe^
parts of the island,"
STRANCE CAREER OF ROLLER.
Bad Been Thl?f, Renpected' Business Man
and Forgrer by Tnrns.
Newark. N. J.?The suicide of Charles
L. Roller in the Windsor Hotel in Montreal
brought to a close a career which
had furnished many sensations.
Roller was born in this city twentyeight
years ago. He came of a good
family, and was looked on as a lad of
much promise. In his teeus, however,
when he was employed by a watchcase
company of this city, he stole some
gold bars from the factory. The Arm
discovered the theft and compelled him
to pay for one bar he had sold and return
the others. The affair was hushed
up.
Later he started in the real estate
and investment business in this city.
He showed business acumen and prospered
to such a degree that within a
few years he was regarded as a rich
man.
One day, about two years ago, he disappeared.
A few days later it was rumored
he had been putting out fraudulent
paper right and left. Then it came
to lierht that he was" a forger and embezzler
to the amount of $60,000. Some
of'the most prominent men in Newark I
were his victims. He was arrested in |
California, brought hack and tried. A
sentence of seven years in State Prison
was imposed.
After he had served eleven months of
the term he was released on parole.
He had revealed the secrets of a smuggling
svstem that had been going on in
the prison, and for this service he received
conditional freedom. Then he
went to Yonkers. He came into view
again when he made a murderous assault
on his wife in New York City.
He was sent to an asylum, but released
in his uncle's care.
7 LED PONY INTO WHITE HOUSE;

Washington, D. C.?Archie Roosevelt,

began to convalesce, he bogged to be
olIriTOCfl tn aaa Mh snnttprl nnnV. It Wfl8
too soon for Archie to leave his room,
and Mrs. Roosevelt was compelled to
decline the request. Charles, the
groom, who looks after the pony and
who also is a great chum of Archie,
thought the matter over and concluded
that if Archie wanted to see his pony
he should do so.
Without confiding his plan to anyone
he led the pony the other day into the
White House and along the corridor
into the elevator. The attendants were
too much surprised to say a word, until
after the elevator had disappeared.
When the second floor was reached
Charles led the pony to Archie's room
and ushered it in. To say that Archie
was delighted expresses it mildly, and
the pony also seemed to enjoy the visit.
This is the first time that a horse ha3
ridden in a White House elevator.

?Threatened bj Flood.
Vancouver, B. C.?Probably ninety
five persons are dead as a result of i
mysterious explosion which tore of
the top of Turtle Mountain, overlook
lag the little town of Frank, in the Pro
vlnce of Alberta. Great masses of rocl
were hurled down Into the valley of th<
Old Man's Creek, sweeping away thi
works at the coal mines on the side 01
the mountain and demolishing houses
in the town below. Many of the inhab
itants were killed in their beds, the mei
at the mine works were all killed, am
fifteen of the seventeen men in th<
mine escaped only by cntting their waj
out through debris which choked ar
opening leading from the main shaft.
There was danger that flood woulc
add to the disaster. The rock formed:
great dam, behind which the waters o:
the creek piled up, and if they shouh
be let loose it was not doubted that th<
entire town would be swept away.
Frank is a town of about 1000 inhab
itants on the line of th<* branch of th<
Canadian Pacific Railway over Crow'i
Nest Pass. It lies at the entrance t<
the canyon, and the French Canadiai
Coal Company has been operating th<
coal deposits in Turtle Mountain foi
aoouc eignteen monrns.
A dispatch received from Fran!
stated that at 4.10 o'clock a. m. th<
town was shaken with terrific forc<
and was shocked by loud reports anc
detonations. Houses threatened to top
pie over in the rocking motion. In
stantl.v the whole town was afoot, anc
soon the shouting of men. who wen
running to and fro, mingled with wail!
of Injured anrl dying, showed that a ca
tastrophe of magnitude had taker
place.
For a time nothing was seen bui
dense clouds of black smoke, with balls
of fire darting here and there acrosf
the disturbed section. As soon as th<
first smoke cleared away It was seer
that the whole side and top of th<
mountain immediately at the back oi
the town had been blown off.
An immense upheaval of about on<
mile by two miles long had taken place
and what before wag a long swami
was suddenly transformed Into a huge
mountain of rock. The direction of th<
eruption from the mountain was nortl
and northeasterly and in limestone al
together, as this section of the countr]
is all limestone. The side of the moun
tain on which the mine was working i!
now nothing but loose falling rock.
As to the cause or nature of the ex
piusiuu many ineories are uuvunceu
some asserting it was due to gas, otheri
that it was siaKing of limestone, an<
still others declaring it was a resulai
volcanic eruption. The immense stretcl
of country torn up by the upheava
would seem to lend color to the idei
that there was an upheaval for a raili
or so, but no explosion till the top o
the mountain was blown up.
The company's mines and plant an

A mile or so of the Canadian Pacific

' KING VISITS THE POPE

Rome.?"I am happy to see Your Ma
jesty," said Pope Leo XIII. in French,
0 as he stood at the threshold of his prl1
vate apartments and extended his right
? hand to King Edward VII. of England.
"I am happy to be here," responded
King Edward also in French, as 'he
j clasped the Pontiffs hand, "and to add
. my congratulations to those of others
upon having outlived the days of St
Peter."
The King passed within the Pope's
. private apartment, the door closed and
the two were alone twenty minutes.
- It has leaked out that the Pope told
? , the King that in expectation of the
P | visit he bad looked Into all questions
3! regarding Catholic Interests now pendj

and had prepared a memorandum,

J HANGED NEGRO COMES TO LIFE.

I Eucattd Again.
: Mobile. Ala.?Two weeks ago a n?gro
named Tom Barth was hanged at Wo%
dowee, Ala., and was pronounced dead
' by a physician when he had been sus
pended in the air for some time. The
s body was cut down and turned over to
I relatives. Soon afterward it was.no*
H?:ed that the body seemed to have life
tn it. and a physician was called and
' administered restoratives. A few days
[ ago the news came to Anniston that
" the negro is so far recovered as to be
able to sit up.
This is the first legal execution to
take place in Randolph County. The
j negro's neck was not broken. The
? question now is: Has he paid the penelty
exacted by the law. and can he go
a free man, since he has been declared
. legally dead. The negro is still in the
. hands of his people, and there has been
J no move to rearrest him.
I The crime for which he was sentenced
to death was murder.

which occurred at Secretary Hay's

It is denied that the Ambassador
brought official advices from his Government,
but the tact, that be is stilt
Buffering from an attack of lumbago, : ?
which has confined him to the Em-y,

urgency of the call. *

sent to Minister Conger, at Pekin, to
express to the Chinese authorities the
dissatisfaction of the United States
with Russia's demands, and oar hope
that China will not accede to tbem.
