von can’i Bodge Them Did you ever try to dodge the rain-drops ? Did not succeed very well, did you? It’s just as useless to try to escape from the germs of consumption. You can’t do it. They are about us on every hand and we are constantly taking them into our lungs. Then why don’t we all have this disease ? Simply because these germs cannot gain a foothold in a strong throat and lungs. It’s when these are weak that the germs master. The body must be well supplied with fat. The danger comes when the blood is poor and the body is thin. If your cough does net yield, and your throat and lungs feel raw and sore, you should not delay another day. Tako Scott’s Emulsion

THE CUBANS WEAKEN NOW WILLING TO TAKE PAY FIIOM UNCLE SAM. Prefer to Surrender Their Guns to Americans Instead of to the Mayors of Towns — Officials at Havana Ke- ' lieve the Opposition Is Killed Off. Havana, May 30.—Events in connection with the payment of the Unban 1 troops entitled to apply here for a share in the American gratuity yesterday, have effectually killed off the opposition to the receipt of the bounty by privates. In American military circles it is considered that a fine start has been made and that the opposition is defeated. Three hundred privates arrived during the day to apply for payment, but though Lieutenant Colonel George M. Randall of the Eighth United States infantry, the commissioner superintending the distribution here, kept his office open all day, only 112 could be paid during that interval, as each man took up several minute.-. Many who brought arms were not on the rolls at all. Ninety-nine rifles were surrendered, most of the applicants declining to take any chances in turning the weapons over to the mayor of Havana, evidently believing it would be better to give them direct to the Americans. All day it was virtually impossible ‘o get through the front door of the office unless the sentry cleared the way. The Cuban officers, who on the first day tried to discourage any who were disposed to apply, finding that the tide of fee iug had turned, offered all the assistance possible to Colonel Raudall. At the conclusion of the day’s work there were more than 200 who had not been heard. These will have to wait until after the return of the paycar on June 15, when there will probably be extra days assigned for Havana. This morning the paycar left the city carrying money, Colonel Randall, his escort, a physician, and the paymasters. Yesterday afternoon 1,000 posters were sent into the province of Pinar del Rio to announce the places and dates of payment. General Pedro Delgado, commanding the Cuban forces arcund Guanajay, called his men together yesterday, told them they were disbanded and ordered them to take their arms and go home. Os the 200, some 30, who were mounted on ponies, said they would ride to Havana and get their money. Thereupon Delgado, who was formerly a notorious bandit, called upon the rest to draw up in line and to shoot any man who took the road to Havana. The 30 mounted men gloomily dispersed. They will have an opportunity to receive their shares later. LINER PARIS Ninth Attempt to Float the Vessel Is Uns uccessflll. Coverack, Cornwall, May 29. —The ninth attempt to float the American line steamer Paris was made last evening and proved an utter failure. Her bow is absolutely impaled by the rocks. Five tugs were used in the endeavor to tow her off, three others standing by for an emergency. Her boilers, excepting those used for the pumps, were emptied to lighten the ship. The effect of the strain on last week’s attempts is apparent in the increase of water in the engineroom. Efforts to pull her off will now be discontinued, and it is proposed to concert some new plan for lightening the vessel. STEEL CARS Ordered of Pittsburg- Company For i the Egyptian Kailroad. Pittsburg, May 30.—Another big order has been placed by the Egyptian States railway for two more consignments of steel freight cirs with the Pressed Steel company, It calls for 200 more cars of the same pattern ordered some time ago, and which are now on their way to Jersey City from whence they will be taken on transports to the laud of the Nile. The first order of 100 cars was made up into two trains of 50 cars each. Counterfeit Plates Secured. Washington, May 29.—Chief Wilkie of the treasury secret service has received information from Special Agent W. J. Burns that he has secured the counterfeit face and back plates of a $lO legal tender United States note with the portrait of General Sheridan, made by Baldwin S. Bredell, the Philadelphia engraver, who, with his pal, Taylor, is under arrest charged with being implicated in the wholesale counterfeiting scheme recently unearthed at Philadelphia and Lancaster, Pa. Their possession was secured through a confession made last week by Taylor and Bredell. Statue In Honor of Dewey. San Francisco, May 27. —Subscription books were opened yesterday for contributions to the status it is proposed to erect in Golden Gate park in honor of Admiral George Dewey. Subscriptions yesterday aggregated $25,0J0, comprising SIO,OOO from Claus Spreckels and $5,000 each from Mayor Phelan, John W. Mackey and “a friend.” It is the hope of the promoters to erect a suitable statue of California marble at a cost of SIOO,OOO. A committee of artists is now at work on a design. Meant It as a Tribute. Madrid. May 29.—Senor Don Francisco Silvela, the premier, replying to a letter from the niece of the late beuor Don Emilio Casielar, the distinguished Republican orator and statesman, disclaims all intention of casting a reflection upon the deceased by an allusion to his “honorable poverty.” On the contrary, he declares that he desired to pay “a tribute to the high moral qualities of a, man who reached the highest positions in the state and yet died poor.”

TREACHERY Island of Negros Natives Attack a Landing Party. Washington, May 29.—GeneralGreely yesterday received a cablegram from Major Thompson at Manila reporting that a party landing for the repair of the cable at Escalante, Island of Negros, had been treacherously attacked by natives, that Captain George H. Tilley, signal corps, is missing, and that the worst is feared. Tilley’s services in the Philippines have been marked by such ability, courage and zeal, that his superiors placed him in the foremost rank of subordinate officers. The cable operations referred to are not those of the signal corps, but of the Eastern Extension Cable company that has been permitted to repair and replace certain cables in the Visayan islands. Tilley doubtless accompanied the expedition as the representative of the United States, the supervision of all telegraph lines and cables being a part of his duties. No other casualties in the signal corps have beep as yet reported in this expedition. INTO THE BAY Collision Between a Passenger Train and an Electric Car at Seattle. Seattle, Wash., May 30.—A local passenger train of the Northern Pacific and an electric streetcar collided here yesterday, precipitating about 25 persons into the bay. One passenger, E. Broad, died on the way to the hospital. Another passenger named Hotted itz was seriously injured. Some of the other passengers were seriously hurt. The water where the people were thrown into the bay was about 15 feet deep and it was a miracle that some of them were not drowned. So far as known every passenger is accounted for. Harry Sharp, the motorman, saved his life by jumping. He struck against a fence and, it is reported, had two ribs broken. OUTLAWS Placed on Trial For Train Robbery at Hartsville, Mo. Hartville, Mo., May 30.—The trial of John Kennedy, William Jennings (or Bill Ryan), Joe Shepard Louis Nigh, Elmer Byrum, James Fogley and Oscar Ray for holding up the Kansas City, Fort Scott and Memphis train at Macomb. Mo., on the night of Jan. 3, was called by Judge Ccx in the courthouse yesterday. One hundred witnesses have been subpoenaed to testify against the train robbers and more than 60 have been summoned by the defense. Ken uedy and Ryan, handcuffed together, and Shepard were brought from Springfield, where they have been in jail under a strong guard, yesterday morning. The prosecution claims to have a strong case. Steamer Diana Chartered to Carry Aid to Lieutenant Peary. St. Johns, N. F., May 30.—The sealing steamer Diana, which has been chartered to convey relief to the exploring expedition under Lieutenant Peary during the coming summer, will leave for the north about July 15, proceeding to Whale Sound, where it is expected she will communicate with Lieutenant Peary’s steamer, the Windward, which has passed the winter in Arctic regions. If the obj icts of the relief party are successful, the Diana will return here about Sept. 15. Governor Wolcott Exercises the Veto Boston, May 30.—Governor Wolcott yesterday vetoed the socalled Spanish veterans preference bill, as well as the bill exempting trades unions from the insurance laws governing fraternal beneficiary organizations. The veterans preference bill exempted veterans of the late war with Spain from civil service examinations and gave them a preference on the public services appointment list, next after the veterans of the civil war. Coal Production. Washington, May 29.—The statistics of the production of coal in the United States during 1896 have just been completed by Edward W. Parker, statistician of the United States geological survey. The compilation shows that the total production of all kinds of coal in 1898 reached the enormous figure of 219,835,993 short tons an increase of nearly 10 per cent over the output in 1897. Suez Canal Traffic. Paris, May 29.—The report of the Suez Canal company shows total receipts for the fiscal year to the amount of £3,500,000, an increase of £29,000 over the previous year. The number of vessels that passed through is 3,503. A marked increase is to be noted in the passages of American vessels bound for Asiatic ports, their number reaching 3 per cent of the total for the year. Capt. Sewall Charged With Murder. San Francisco, May 30 —The Bulletin prints a story from Hong-Kong that Captain Sewall, nephew of the famous Sewalls, shipbuilders and politicians, was arrested tor alleged complicity in the killing of a negro sailor of the American ship Benjamin Sewall, which is commanded by Sewall. The first officer of the vessel was also taken into custody. lowa Politicians Confident. Des Moines, la., May 30. —In lowa political and congressional circles the claim is made that General Henderson is practically sure of the speakership. Congressman Hull said last night: “I confidently believe General Henderson will ba nominated on the first ballot.” Charged With Patricide. Rapid City, S. D., May 29.—Lena Bouts, aged 14, and a younger brother, children of Frank Bouts, a Burlington tie contractor of Pennington county, are under arrest, the girl being charged with murdering her father.
