Nov. 25.—(By Associated Press.)—Buencamino, the brains of the Filipino insurrection, is locked up here in charge of Brigadier General Edward B. Williston, the'' provost marshal., When -Tarlac fell, Buencamino fled northward with Aguinaldo's 3-year-old son and an old lady, supposed to be the mother of Aguinaldo's confiden tial servant and a guard of a hundred soldiers. Reaching the neighborhood of the coast, Nov. 13, Buencamino found American soldiers on every side and escape impossible.

How One Mother -?ir%., Foul-Smelling Catarrh.- Catarrh is one of the most obstinate diseases, and hence the moat difficult to get rid of. There is but one way to core it. The disease is in the blood, and all thd sprays, washes and inhaling mixturei in the world can have no permanent effect whatever upon it. Swift's Spe cific cures Gatarrh permanently, for it is the only remedy which can reach tha disease and force it from the blood. Mr. B. P. McAllister, of Harrodsburir. Ky., had Catarrh for years. He writes: "I oomd eoe no improvement whatever, though I was constantly treated with sprava and washes, and differ en inhaling remedies-* in z&ot, I could feel thai each winter I was worse than the year previous. ^"Finally it wag brought to my notice that Catarrh was ablood disease, and after think* lng over the matter, saw It was unreasonable to expect to be oured by remedies which only reached the surface. I then decided to try .. after a lew bottles were used, 1 no Hoed a perceptible improvement. Continuing the remedy, the disease was forced out of my system, and a complete cure was the result. I advise all who have this dreadful disease to abandon theiklocal treatment,which haanever done them any good, and take 8.8. 8., a rem* edy-that can reach the disease and cure it.*' To continue the wrong treatment for Catarrh is to continueito Buffer. Swift's Specific is a real blood remedy, and cures obstinate, deep-seated diseases, which other remedies have no effect whatever upon. It promptly reaches Catarrh, and never fails to cure even the most aggravated cases.

Des Moines, Nov. 24 .—It was discov ered* at the clerk of thpjcourts office yesterday that the public records had been tampered with. It seems in the case of Viola Meyers vs. Charles Mey ers, a record, of which js made on page 8588 of'Equity No. 20, an erasure* has been made of a. portion of the fees in this case. The only purpose of this erasure would be to escape payment of the fees. H. G. Carpenter appeared at the clerk's office yesterday morning and stated that all fees in the case had no& treen paid. The original papers and the amount received from the attor neys for Mrs. Meyers, differed to the extent of $1. An investigation reveal ed the fact that some one erased the first charge—that for copying fee. An erasure had also been made at the top of the page. All the clerks in the office were called and after a thorough in vestigation it was found t)e tamper ing with the record has been made toy some one outside the office. A nota tion to this effect was entered upon the docket yesterday morning by Dep uty Alexander. I took a trial package and also a dol lar package of your Mull's Pioneer Cure tablets for Rheumatism. The re sult is, I am entirely cured of Bheu matism, and it is the first time I have been free from pain for five years. I was treated by physicians and took all kinds of medicines, and spent a lot of money, without getting relief. Mull's Pioneer Cure is even better than you claim. I never fail to recommend it to those who suffer. It is a wonderful remedy. Jonathan Wagner, Beverly, Ohio. 25c and $1. At Clark & Molli son's. V. Cheek Placed on Gen. Oil..
