ITTMT .:•' -t. VOLUME XXIX. CHATSWORTH, ILLINOIS, FRIDAY, MAY 2, 1902. NUMBER 30.

$50,000.00 In Improvements. .A conservative estimate of the

amount of money which is to be Bpent in improvements in Chatsworth this season aggregates close tp $60,000.00.A t a first glance this may"seem Improb­able, but if anyone who is familiar with the work that is to done in the town, and the cost of such work, will figure up the money which is being, and will be spent, it will be found that the amount does not fall much short of this figure. Among the improvements to be takeii into consideration are the paving of Locust street and parts of Fourth, F ifth and Sixth streets, the Harbeke opera house and furnishings,John Brown’s flue new residence, the block of store buildings and opera house which is to be built by Messrs.Corbett and Baldwin, H ast’s immense feed and livery barn, John Brown’s ice house and feed yard buildings, M. Gar- rity ’s new house on North Fourth street, M artin Kueffner's new resi­dence south of Rev. Quinn’s residence, to say nothing of the many additions and minor changes and improvements which are being made to Chatsworth homes and business buildings. This may seem not very great, but there are few townB the gize of Chatsworth which can show a prospect for the season any­thing to compare with this, and when coupled with the large amount of build­ing and other improving done last year it makes the outlook for our little city tha t much the brighter. Progressive people recognize Chatsworth as a pro­gressive town. Scarcely a vacant house can be found in the town, and rented houses command good rentals, the greatest drawback being the difficulty in securing desirable houses to rent.

Wiad Does Damage.The heavy wind last Friday night and

Saturday did a large amount of damage -Miss Lawless and Miss Sullivan throughout central Illinois. Among other damage done was the demolition of the large barn on the Mrs. M. Lawless place a t the east end of W alnut street.

-The barn had stood for yearn on its stone foundation and, being very heavi­ly timbered, was susposed to be a very substantial structure. Nevertheless the storm moved it off Its foundation and wrecked it so badly tha t it will have to be torn down. A cow and a hog were killed when.the building col­lapsed.

Many minor losses were caused by the storm, but most of the people of this vicinity esoaped without accidents.Many shade trees were blown down wholly or in part, and many small stables, corn-cribs and other out build­ings were overturned and moved off their foundations.

Fraak W. Doolittle Honored.The Chicago Record-Herald of Sun­

day contained a portrait of Frank W. Doolittle of Jacksonville, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. 8 .

A Recherche Affair.The ladies of the Thursday Club

celebrated the first of May by giving their second annual reception to their friends at the home of Mrs. Albert Frederick Walter. The home, while new and charming in itself, was fur­ther beautified by the profuse and tasteful use of palms, ferns, blooming plants and cut flowers. One of the friends of the club, and a former mem­ber, who is sojourning in Maine, sent quantities of the greens, flowers and mosses native to that state, and these were'greatly admired and studied by all present. Each lady of the club was destinguishable by a bunch of May flowers which she wore and which were received with the other decora­tions from Maine. Large bunches of crab and plum blossoms filled the rooms with a pleasant fragrance and gave the May appearance to the entire surround­ings. '

The officers of the club, Mrs. John F. Sullivan, Mrs. Elizabeth Curtis, Miss Carrie Hall, and Mrs. John Brosnahan, received the guests on their arrival, in the pleasant hall of the residence, and during the afternoon tlip following pro­gram was rendered;

Rev. Young Dead.The death of Rev. 1SC4). II. Young,

formerly pastor of the M. E. church of this place, occurred on Monday morn­ing at his late home, 011 East W alnut street, Bloomington.

William Decatur Harrison Yoitwg was born April 10, 1839, at Jonesboro, Tenn. A t the age o t twenty he com­menced studying for the ministry, and for several years taught school. In 1865 he was married to Miss Sarah Moffett a t Tonica, 111. He gave many years to the itinerant life of the Metho­dist ministry. His first appointment was a Hennepin, Putnam county, for one year, then Wenona, one year; Lew- istown, one year; Knoxville, two years. There his health broke and he gave up preaching for a while. He taught in the Monmouth city seliools and later went to Macon City, Mo., where he took charge of Johnson College, which was afterward moved to Quincy and the name changed to Chaddock Col­lege. This was followed by a long and serious illness, after which lie moved with his family to Peoria, where he taught in the night schoolB. Later lie was appointed to the pastorate of the church a t Hamilton, on the Mississippi river; then Carthage, two years; Prince- ville, one year; Galva, two years; Wood- hull, one year; llliopolis, two years; Homer, two years; Watseka, one year; Milford, one year; Chatsworth, two years, and then he removed to Bloom­ington, where the family had since re­sided, and for a number of years be filled appointments a t Selma, Mt. Pleasant and Hudson, since when be lias been associated with societies for finding homes for children. His sick i^ess dates back to January, when be contracted a severe cold, which ulti­mately terminated in heart trouble.

He leaves besides Mrs. Young, who is in poor health, four children—Miss Katherine Young, Dr. Merle Young of Bloomington; Mrs. J . W. Dobson, A r­thur, 1J1.; Mrs. Robert A. Campbell, Ontario, Cal., and a very extensive friendship throughout the state.

C. S. 6raves Departs.Mr. C. 8. Graves, who came to Chats-

wortli from Janesville, Wis., a few months ago and took charge of the store formerly owned by Mr. E. A. Bangs, having disposed of the building and drug stock, packed the remainder of the goods the forepart of the week and shipped them to Wisconsin. Mr. Graves has made many friends here during the time he has been in busi­ness in Chatsworth, and it is with deep regret that they see him depart. He is a man of business energy and integrity and had he been able to Becure a desira­ble business building here would have remained and conducted a store. He states tha t lie expects to embark in business a t Columbia, Wis.

Colorado Grant’s Show.Colorado Grant’s show, which will

exhibit here on May 12, wintered at Minonk. Regarding the show the Mi- nonk Register says:

“ Mr. Grant informs us that he has been extremely lucky tbiB spring, in getting some of the best performers for this season’s show that can be had in United States. Mr. Gipnt has Always had the reputation of carrying nothing but the beet-talent with him. and this year he will have the best that money can employ. There Is, we ventm I to say, not another railroad show out this season tha t furnishes the attractions that Colorado Grant’s does.”

Take Osly Year Own Mail.The postal authorities recognizing the

liability of postmasters to mistaken in getting letters in wrong boxes, have fixed a penalty of $200 on persons tak­ing mail out of the office other than their own and not returning it. The law is to have people look at their mail when takihg it out of the office and if they should have mail other than their own they m ust return it a t onoe. I t a Ibo includes newspapers. The excuse tha t it is the postmaster's fault cuts no figure. I f you have been getting other people's mail you had better take warning or you may get yourself in trouble.

It Beats the World.A good local newspaper beats the

world as an advertising medium. A handhil) will attract attention by acci­dent. The newspaper carries your message to a waiting audience. The fence-rail ad. is a corpse that can only be looked upon by a few neighbors who ~ b to go near It. The newspaper ad. goes into the home, takes a place in the family circle and talks right to the hearts of the thousands of people who pay their money for just that kind of entertainment.

Republican Committee to Meet.A call has been issued for a meeting

of the republican county mittee At Pontiac on Monflky next,May 5, for the purpose of fixing a date for ttie coming County convention and transact such other business ns may come before the committee.

Bishop Spalding’s Silver luhilee.At Peoria on Thursday, in the pres­

ence of the largest and most notable congregation that ever crowded St. Mary’s Cathedral and the greatest gathering of dighitaries of the Roman Catholic church that ever assembled in this part of the country, the celebra­tion of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the consecration of Bishop J . L. Spald­ing began with a pontifical high mass of thanksgiving celebrated by Bishop Spalding himself. On the epistle side of the altar was Cardinal Gibbons, at­tended by his deasons of honor, and on the gospel side Archbishop Ireland sim­ilarly attended. About the sanctuary were gathered archbishops, bishops and priests without number. Immediately after the gospel Cardinal Gibbons de­livered a eulogy on Bishop Spalding and in behalf of the clergy presented him witli a beautiful chalice of gold studded with precious stones. An elo­quent sermon was delivered and the reading of a congratulatory message from the pope was a part of the cere­mony.

Cardinal Gibbons, who delivered the jubilee sermon, arrived Tuesday morn­ing. He was met a t the depot by some of the clergy and escorted to the resi­dence of Bishop Spalding. Bishop Foley of Detroit also arrived Tuesday, and Archbishops Riordan of San Fran­cisco and Ireland of St. Paul arrived Wednesday.

Probably nochurchman in the United States is more universally estedtoed than the Rt. Rev. John L. Spalding. He is regarded as one of the finest scholars in the Catholic church and is a creative literary artist of rare ability. He is a favorite with Catholics and non- Catholics alike, and his brilliant essays and philosophical works have given him an enviable distinction among Ameri­can churchmen.

An Outside Opinion.The Pontiac Commonwealth lias the

following to say regarding the course of entertainments which Chatsworth peo­ple will have an opportunity to enjoy the coming winter, if they rally to tiie support of the promoter:

“Chatsworth is arranging fora course of lectures, concerts and readings next winter. The contract has been signed, hut conditionally tha t enougli season tickets are taken to guarantee Mr. Cary, who is the promoter, again»t loss. The list contains the very best talent on the road and will prove a ricli treat to its citizens. Mr. Cary is to be commended for his enterprise, particu­larly as it is not a money making enter­prise on his part, but purely in the in­terest of the village.”

Will Begin Paving Next Week.Contractor II. C. Finley of Hoopes-

ton, who was awarded the contract for laying the pavement on Locust,Fourth, Fifth and Sixth streets was in town yesterday and stated that he expects to start his teams and workmen from Hoopeston on Monday next, and will probably commence active operations oil the streets abont next Wednesday. Mr. Finley sayn that from present indi­cations, his greatest difficulty will be experienced in securing laborers to work on the job, as idle men who de­sire to work are very scarce throughout this section of the state a t present.

Ready to Plant.A large portion of the fanners of this

section of the state will begin plantin corn the forpart of next week, if the weatbeT is favorable, and most of them have the land about ready to receive the seed. I t is the general opinion that the soil is in most excellent condition, and the present prospect is most promis­ing. _____________

Salt Ruins Cement Walks.Salt will destroy a cement walk

in less time than anything else. The salt eats into the cement and de­stroys the original surface, leaving it rough and uneven. Resident* sprinkle Balt on it in the winter to thaw the ice, and in the spring they find the surface eaten away and blame the contractor.

High School Alumni Association will he held in the school house on next Saturday afternoon May 8,1902. a t two o’clock sharp. All members requested to be present.

THE UNITED STATES CRUISER " O-YHPIA.”Dewey's Flagship, Whose Guns Opened the Battle of Manila Bay that Caused the

Downfall of Spain's Colonial Power in the Far East.

O ur F ig h t fo r th e P h i l ip p in e sA R ev iew of the Contest That Began in M anila Bay,

May 1, 1898.

May 1 four years ago Admiral Dewey won his memorable victory in Manila bay that gave to this coun­try a new island em­pire in the far east.

The enthusiasm with which the news of th a t victory was hailed in the United States has seldom, if ever, been equaled since the day that marked the close of the long civil war. So great has been its effect upon 'American policies that we can afford to pause for a moment to rehearse its impor­tan t details.

The admiral, then a commodore, was a man Of action, and no sooner did he re­ceive the news that war had been declared than lie sailed from Hong-Kong with hie squadron, consisting of the Olympia, hie flagship, Capt. Charles V. Gridley; the Ra­leigh, Capt. Joseph B. Coghlan; the Balti­m ore Capt. Nehemiah M. Dyer; the Bos­ton, Capt. Frank Wildes; the Monocacy, Commander Oscar W. Farenholt; the Con- -cord, Commander Asa Walker, and the Pe­trel, Commander Edward P. Wood, for Manila.

The Spanish fleet was lying at Cavite in Manila bay when the intrepid American .sailor entered to give battle. He was an

unexpected guest, the Spaniards not being used to such energy as it took to put the American fleet into the Philippine harbor '<t so early a date. They had failed to pre­pare for his reception and he sailed past Corregidor island, containing what was supposedly impregnable defenses, altnost before the garrison were aware of his presence in the vicinity. I t was not until after his last ship was well past that they thought to give battle to the daring Yan: kees and then sent a few harmless shots after them.

Day had not yet broken when Cavite was reached, and Dewey quietly awaited its coming. When the sun rose in the east instead of immediately beginning the de­struction of the Spanish ships that lay be­fore him the daring sailorman preferred to play with his enemy, and so weighed anchor and sailed up to the defenses of Manila with which he exchanged a few shots as a mat-

8:10 o'clock was fired the first shot in the revolution o# the Filipino soldiery against American occupation, a revolution that has continued to the present time, though is now, after almost two and a half years’ of fighting, seemingly near a dose.

The Filipinos demanded absolute inde­pendence of the American people, and that this country refused to grant. That, in a concise way, may be accepted as the cause of the present rebellion in the Philippines. During the three days following the firing of the first shot the American troops drove the insurgents from the line of defenses they occupied outside Manila and secured possession of the suburbs of the city. Dur­ing this three days of fighting 13,000 Amer­ican troops were opposed to Aguinaldo’s army of 20,000 Filipinos.

The battle of Pasig, on March 13, was the next im portant engagement between the two forces. I t was early in March tha t the advance on the rebel capital at Malolos was begun. The first fight of this campaijm was on March 26 a t Malinta, and this was fol­lowed by fhe capture of Malolos on March 31, but Aguinaldo had moved his govern-

Instantly the eight-inch guns of the good cruiser broke forth in smoke and flame, and began raining a shower of steel projectiles upon the Spanish ships. Gradually the American fleet drew closer. Submarine mines exploded in front of them, but they did not waver. The Spanish gunners an­swered the challenge of the Olympia’s guns

in which to attend to the wants of th® few slightly wounded and prepare dinner to which Admiral Montojo was invited, but declined.

The Spanish loss was 12 ships—their en­tire Asiatic squadron—and 018 men either killed or wounded.

For that little morning’s work Admiral Dewey gave to the United Stateoom ething like 120,000 square miles of territory, and secured for himself the thanks of the Amer­ican people and the rahk of admiral in the American navy—and not an American sailorman killed or an American vessel seri­ously injured.

with a shower of projectiles of equal size, but without doing any considerable damage. As the American boats got within closer range the smaller guns added their roar to that of the larger ones, and the terrific fire was kept up until 7:35 when Dewey felt tha t he had had enough for a beginner, and not wanting to spoil a good thing too soon, quit for breakfast, and a pull a t the pipe or cigar.

I t was not until 10:50 that he again went a t the Spaniards. He had furnished suf­ficient sport for his sailoriilfcn, and now intended to finish the job in a hurry and put the enemy out of their misery without further loss of time, and before it could interfere with his dinner arrangements. The midday meal would be served aboard the flagship at one, and it wae necessary that the job be completed and the muss cleared up before tlipt time. To accomplish this every gun, big and little, that could be brought into play, was used, and it was but little more than an hour before all of the Spanish ships were either lying a t the bottom of the bay or destroyed, and at 12:30 a white flag run up over the Spanish batteries at Cavite proclaimed their sur­render.

rnent to San Fernando, and upon his de­parture fired the government buildings. The victory was a signal one, however, as it resulted in the capture of subsistence stores valued at one and a half million dol­lars.

The American troops continued to push northward toward the new rebel capital rapidly, and on April 10 was fought th® battle of Santa Cruz, which place was cap­tured on April 25, and on May 5 San Fer­nando fell into the hands of the American troops. The capture of this place prac­tically closed the campaign to the north of Manila until the close of the rainy sea­son. Gen. Lawton’s command returned to Gen. MacArthur’s lines on May 24 after haying marched a distance of 120 miles, fought 22 engagements, taken 28 towns, captured and destroyed 300,000 bushels of rice, and with a loss of only 6 killed and 35 wounded.

But the intrepid officer, who was later to lose his life in the conflict, was not al­lowed to rest has troops. He was assigned to commaitS an expedition against Gen. Pio del Pilar, who was operating around the

shores of Laguna de Bay, and from the third of June to the thirteenth of the same month succeeded in driving the insurgents not only from the shores of this body of water, but from around the shores of Ma­nila bay as well, and soon after had driven the enemy from every stronghold in Cavite province.

Gen. MacArthur opened the second cam­paign to the north of Manila on August 9, when he moved against Angeles. Bacolor was first captured, and on August 16 th® army arrived before the intrenchments at Angeles. The place was captured with a loss of but two killed and 12 wounded- During the same time Gen. Young had taken the towns of San Mateo, Balcuag and Quingua.

While American troops had been fight­ing the insurgents in Luzon the rebellion had spread to other islands and insurgent garrisons had been established in Panay, LCyte, Cebu, Negros, Samar and other is­lands. Gen. Miller had captured Hoilo on February 11; Hacolod, in Negros, was taken by Col. Smith, and on February 21 Cebu was taken by Capt. Cornwall, of the Petrel.

On August 24 Gen. Bates returned to Manila from the Sulu group and announced the signing of an agreement with the sultan

Dewey’s victory at Cavite, followed by the combined land and naval fight that resulted in the sur­render of Manila to Gen. M erritt and the

American forces on August 13, gave to this country new and untried problems with whioh to de«l. As in Cuba Spain had encountered for almost a century almost continuous revolutions on the part of the natives, fighting' for almost the same rea­sons tha t prompted the patriot* of Cuba. The victories of May 1 and of August 13. 1898, relieved Spain of her vast colonial ter­ritories, but a t the same time it trans­ferred from her to the United States th® rebellious subjects tha t had given her just troubles for a century.

extending American authority over the en­tire group.

Campaign followed campaign rapidly, but there was little severe fighting for the American troops. On October 2,1899, came the first overtures for peace on the part of the insurgents, but the attem pt was looked upon by American officers merely as an effort to gain some recognition of the

Filipino government snd was futile of any result.

On November 1 a movement was begun against Tarlae, then the insurgent capital. Mabalaoat was the first place captured, and on the following day, November 8, San Fabian fell into American hands, and Tarlae was captured on November 12, but Aguinaldo and his government had moved. The following day the insurgents were a t­tacked at San Jacinto, the plaoe being cap­tured, but not until it had cost the life of Maj. John A. Logan. The fighting contin­ued with but small loss to the Americans until Dagupan, the northern terminus of the railroad running from Manila, was readied on November 20. Four days later President Bautista, of the Filipino con­gress, surrendered himself to Gen. Mac­A rthur and Gen. Otis telegraphed the war department a t Washington that “ the in­surgent government could no longer claim an existence.’’ At that time the- insur­gent treasurer, secretary of the interior and president of its congress were in Amer­ican hands.

The American troops pushed steadily northward, ami on December 5 Gen. Young’s comnihnd arrived a t Vigan, near the northwest extremity of Luzon. In or­der to folloik the rapidly dispersing enemy Gen. Youngt.divided his force into smaller bodies of triops and dispatched them in different directions for the purpose of cap­turing Gen. Tino and Gen. Del Pilar, and on December 11 Gen. Tirona surrendered the whole of the district to the American forces, Capt. McCalls, of the navy, ac­cepting the surrender.

During the middle of December two notable events occurred. The first, on De­cember 18, was the rescue of Lieut. Gil­more, of the navy, and his men, who had been captured near Baler, April 12, and the other was the death of Gen. Lawton, killed during the fight a t San Mateo on Decem­ber 19.

By the opening of the year 1900 the in­surgent opposition had dwindled to but little more than a force of scattered ban­dits, and guerilla warfare was the rule. The northern portion of the island had been pretty generally cleared, and Gens. Schwan and Wheaton began a campaign against the insurgent forces in the south,

and Gens. Bates and Bell headed an expe­dition which left Manila February 16 to drive the enemy from the Cainarines. Both of these expeditions encountered consid­erable opposition from small bodies of in­surgent troops, but were in the end suc­cessful in accomplishing the objects for which they were organized with but small loss of life.

The details of the campaigns of 1901 and of the present year are so fresh in the pub lie mind that a rehearsal of their details is unnecessary. Of last year the two most important occurrences were the capture of Aguinaldo by Gen. Funston on March 23 and the establishment of civil government in tlie islands by the Taft commission on July 4. There has been considerable light­ing since that time. The cainpoign in Sa­mar, with its attendant horrors, will prob­ably not soon be forgotten, either by the participants or the American public, and now promises to result in a number of court marlials for different army officers. The recent surrender of Gen. Malvar has seemingly virtually ended the organized opposition to American rule, and the of­ficials a t Manila are in hopes of an early and permanent peace.

The “l i t t l e gov­ernor” was the foun­dation of the Spanish system of government in the Philippines. He represented the lowest rung of the of­

ficial ladder, and ruled in the parish. He was an official of but little power, with but small opportunity for “graft,” and whose greatest perquisite consisted in the wearing of the official hat, a stiff, mush­room-shaped affair, liberally covered with

ornaments of silver bullion. Of far more influence were the priests, an influence that was much more often exercised for good than for bad, and many evidences of their rule are to be found throughout the is­lands in the shape of roads and bridges. To be sure the natives were taxed for far more of these conveniences than were built, but it is a question if any would have been built had it not been for the priests.

The real government of the islands lay in the hands of the governor-general, a crown appointee. He was assisted by a council of state. The minister of the colonies at Madrid was the direct head of the gov­ernment, as he was of all the Spanish col­onies, but he was assisted by an advisory council for the Philippines, residing in Madrid, and to this council was specially intrusted the interests of the Philippines.

Tho islands could never he properly termed a Spanish oolony. They were held only as a military possession. To extort money from the people, under the various forms of taxation tha t cunning and rapacity had deviaed, was the sole purpose of Spain and the business and object of the govern­mental officers that were maintained there. How much these extortions amounted to will never be known outside of Spanish of­ficial circles, but there were but few Span­ish officials sent to the island* who did not return to Spain with a competence, the greater part of which was the result of various forms of bribery and official dis­honesty.

says “a richer isolated land or group of islands, viewed comparatively as to area and population, variety of agriculture, mineral and forest resources undeveloped, in addi­tion to those already improved, cannot be pointed out on the map of the world."

That paragraph gives in a general way the wonderful resources of the Philippines. The soil of the islands is of phenoniinal fer­tility, buti its capacities have been most imperfectly developed, neither the natives or the Spaniards seemingly never thinking of the future. When even improperly culti­vated as it has been it produces bountiful crops of tropical staples, such as sugar, to­bacco, rice, cocoa, gums of various kinds, arrowroot, indigo, cotton, pepper, co­chineal, betelroot, arecn nut, cocoanute, cocoanut oil and the Manila hemp so well known to commerce. Of this product be­tween 600,000 and 700,000 bales are exported annually, of which practically one-half comes to the United States. The annual value of the hemp crop exported is about $7,000,000.

The mineral resources of the islands are as yet almost an unknown quantity. Gold, copper and ooal are all found, but as yet in limited quantities. Native legends are authority for the tales of fabulously rich gold mines, but these have never been found. I t is said that gold formed the chief product of Luzon as far back as the third century, and to-day it is mined in sev­eral sections of the island. Paracale is the center of the gold mining industry, and is a village that is but little known of to the majority of the people of the is­lands excepting the Chinese traders w(ho purchase the product of the mines and dis­pose of it secretly in Hong-Kong or Amoy. I t is so far removed from the centers of population th a t even the Spanish officials, ever looking for something to tax, failed to seriously disturb it. Cebu, M'ndora, Panaon and Mindanao are all said to b® rich in gold deposits.

Luzon produces some copper, but the mines, all of which are worked by natives, are not of sufficient value to warrant de­velopment on a large scale, and the indus­try will probably continue a primitive one.

There are comparatively few coal deposits known in the islands. Cebu has a limited coal belt of rather inferior quality, and an­other coal field of some magnitude and of better quality is located in the island of Masbate, not far from the coast. This latter field has been worked to some extent by a local steamship owner who secured fuel for his ships from this field so long as the native laborers copld secure it by the use of crowbars only. When the vein ran be­neath the ground, so that tunneling was necessary, the field was abandoned. Prac­tically all the cool found in the islands, however, is not true coal but lignite, hut experts claim there is no reason why the better mineral should not be found in pay­ing quantities. ______

The P h il ip p i n e group contains ap­proximately 125,000 square miles of land area, and numbers about 2,000 different islands. Of the is

lands Mindanao is the largest with 40,521 square miles, and Luzon second with 42,- 000 square miles. Either of these are larger than Ireland. Among the others of th® larger islands are Mindoro, Panay, Suninr, Masbate, Negros, Cebu, Leyte, Bohol and l ’alauan. These vary considerably in ti/e, averaging from 6,000 square miles down to less than 3,000. Of the more than 2,000 is­lands there are only some 000 that are in­habited, or are large enough to support a population of any size, the majority of the others being but mere rocks or reefs.

H o n d a o f M in d a n a o .Our soldiers will find considerable diffi­

culty in penetrating to the center of tiie Mindanao because of the lack of roads. The towns and villages of the island arc situated, however, along the rivers to a great extent, and these furnisli easy means of access, several of them being compara­tively large streams which are navigable for light draught river boats for consid erable distances.

■AP OF THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.- - V

Spain moat Magellan with possession of the Phil ippines. That bold explorer tailed around Cape Horn, croseed the Pacific end landed

on the island of Cebu in 1621, when ha attempted to tahe possession in the name of Spain, but was hilled in a skirmish with the native®. Tha ships of Magellan re­turned to Spain and hi* companions aroused an interest in the wonderfid lands they had discovered, but it was not until 156# that another (attempt wee made to sub­due the natives and gain a foothold in th« islands. At this later date • Spanish fleet sailing from Mexico punished the native for the killing of Magellan, and formally took possession of the entire group in the name of the Spanish sovereign. Five year® later the city of Manila was founded, and the different native chiefs in Luzon took the oath of allegiance to Spain.

Chinese pirates, who had virtually been the rulers of the islands for many year® previous to the Spanish occupation, gava the new rulers much trouble, and disputed with them the sovereignty. Two serioua attempts were made by these pirates to drive the Spanish from the islands, buA both resulted disastrously to them, and in time they learned that the hated European® were too powerful for them.

In 1606 the Dutch attempted to wrest tho control of the islands from Spain, but wera unsuccessful, loosing their fleet in the proj­ect. In 1762 Manila was captured by Eng­land. That country intended to hold the city, and would probably have added the whole of the archipelago to the British em­pire had not political combinations in Eu­rope prevented. As it was Manila wna again surrendered to Spain upon a promise to pay a ransom amounting to $5,000,000.It is a debt that England has never been able to collect.

Throughout the present century rebel­lions on the part of the natives have been frequent. The first serious one began in 1822, which continued for some months be­fore it was suppressed by the Spanish troops. Another came in 1841, lasting through the following year. The next one of any consequence was th a t of 1872, and this was followed by the one of 1896-97. which resulted in the banishment of Agui­naldo and his followers to Hong-Kong.

P h i l i p p i n e P o p u l a t i o n .The estimated population of the Philip­

pines is given at from 8,000,000 to 12,000,000 people. A census of the islands was taken in 1887 by Spain, but it was far from per­fect, and in fact was but little more than a guess for the greater part of the terri­tory, as Spanish officials never penetrated to the interior of several of the larger ia- lands, and it is doubtful if they ever vis­ited a large number of the smaller ones.A sanitary census of Manila token in May last year under the supervision of United States army officers showed a total popula­tion of 244,732, of which 181,361 were Fili­pinos, 51,567 Chinese, 8,532 Americans,2,382 Spaniards and 900 of other national!- »l ties. The American soldiers were no* enumerated in the total.

I s l n n d o f M i n d a n a o .Mindanao Island, from which comes our

latest troubles in t-hc Philippines, promise® to become a veritable paradise for fortune hunters along various lines. Its soil is prob­ably more fertile than that of any of th® other islands, aud its streams and moun­tains are said to abound in liberal quanti­ties of gold and other minerals. It is in- liahited by the Moro tribes, all of whom are Mohammedans. Spain never succeeded in establishing anything like a staple gov­ernment in the island.

H cluio l S y s t e m K s tn 1.1 Is l ic d .A department of public instruction for

the Philippines was established at Manila on January 21, 1901, and rapid progress was made during the year in the organization of free public schools. Some 5(jj teachers were sent to the islands from the United Stales. English was made the official l&ns guage of the schools.

Cl Ini II I® o f t h e P h i l i p p i n e ® .A weather record kept in Manila between

the years 1883 98 shows th a t the tempera­ture never went beyond the 100 deg res point and never fell below 60. The annual mean temperature is given as about 80 de­grees.

Lovers Decide to Die.T h e citizens of Long Point, this ooua-

ty. are greatly shocked over a tragedy which cam e to light T uesday m orning a t an early hour in whioh tw o young peo­ple of th a t v icinity were tho prinoipal actors.

It appears th a t M onday evening Miss M yrtle C onradt, who has been engaged in the household of Jo h n Sm ith east of Chat place, w en t to tow n and to the fam ily of W illiam Bell, friends of tho young lady. T o the Bell house at a lato hour, by previous engagem ent it is su p ­posed. oame F ran k M inard, her lover. Thoy spent the evening together and late into the night. The fam ily and o ther m em bers of the household re tired leaving the young people to themsolves. About 4 o’clock Tuesday m orniug, the fam ily were aw akened by the scream s of M yrtle. Mrs. Bell ran dow n-stairs and found the young w om an alone, c ry ­ing and saying she was sick. In a few m inutes she began scream ing and said: “ We have taken poison,” then w ent iuto spasm s.

W illiam Snydor, who was a t Mr. Bell’s m aking fenoe, w as sleeping up sta irs and Mr. Bell aroused him to go quick for a doctor. He w ent im m ediately but when be retu rned w ith the docto r the girl was dead. Mr. S nyder told his hand to get his horse ready and they would go to ' search for F rank , whose home was a mile and a half sou theast of town. They did so and had only gone about th ree rods when thoy saw the young m an ly ing on the g round in spasm s, just over tho fence in M. M iller's pasture, no t m ore than fifteen rods from the Bell residence. He con tinued to have co n ­vulsions of so severe a n a tu re th a t it was found im possible to rem ove him to a house. A ten t was ereoted over him a r 1 every th in g possible done to coun­te rac t tho effect of the deadly drug, but to no avail, and be died a t 11:30 the follow ing m orniog. S trychnine was the m eaus ohosen by tho tw o young people to accom plish th e ir end. Eaoh was abou t nineteen years of age, and neither was know n to have any m ental trouble. T he pareu ts of both reside near Long Point. The oo.roner’s ju ry re tu rn ed verdicts s ta tin g th a t they cam e to th e ir deaths by poison adm inistered by th e ir own hands. .

News has just been received here of a double case of suicide at Long Point. F rank M inard and M yrtle C onradt, two young people, took poison Monday -«igbt. M yrtle is dead and F rank dy ing. Acting C oroner McKay has gone to Long Point for tbe purpose of hold­ing an inquest. At this w riting the mo tivo is unknow n.

C ircuit court convened on Monday. All of the prisoners in the county jail were brought before the cou rt and p re­sented by the clerk of the court with his regards in the shape of a copy of the indictm ent found against them by the late grand ju ry . The judge kindly re quested them to tell him if they were guilty or not of the charges they were accused of. They were generally of the opinion tha t the grand ju ry was m istak­en, but the judge advised them to re ­tu rn to the jail, saying tb a t he would investigate the m atte r in the n earfa tu re .

The Battle Ground of Modern Thought.T he Chicago R ecord-H erald has con-

oeived the unique idea of assigning a page of its Sunday edition to tbe publio for the free discussion of im p o rtan t questions of the day. U nder the head "T he B attle G round of M odern T hough t” an opportun ity is offered to tho public for the sano discussion of all problem s engag ing the atten tion of the Am ericau people. W riters of ability present their views on subjects not gen­erally trea ted in the daily press, and R ecord-H erald readers generally are in ­vited to join the debate. T be fairest, roost forceful and orig inal contributions are published. The following are a few of the subjects which have been d is­cussed since th is d ep artm en t was first organized: ,

“ Is B lacklisting W ithin the Law?” “ T rusts and the P roper Way to Regu-,

lato T hom .”“ G reat P eril . T h a t Besets Pagan

China .”“ Liquor T rade and Its Evil C onse­

quences.”“ Are Free Books W anted in Public

Sohools?”“ Inhum anity to A nim als.”The Record-H erald disclaim s any re ­

sponsibility for tbe dogm as upheld, the theories advanced or the panaceas a d ­vocated. I t reserves tbe rig h t only (o preserve order, to keep, ou t personali­ties and rancor, and to see tb a t good tem per and candor characterize tbo d is­cussions.

O ur daily papers gavo an account of a shooting scrape tb a t occurred at the Reform atory one day last woek. It is asserted th a t tw o prisoners wbq have been, what they call over there , under punishm ent for a num ber of days, were brought before the superin tendent, where they became belligerent and, although they were surrounded by arm ed guards there for the purpose of enforcing disci­pline, they proceeded to raise a riot, draw ing knives (how did they obtain them ?) and defied and esoaped from the officers. M aking the ir way in to the grounds, they ran tow ards tho cell house, one of the officers shooting at them as they ran. G uard Smiddy m et them and put a bullet in tbe thigh of one, and one in tbe knee of the other, before they were brought to term s.

This seems to be the result of the course pursued by tbo present manage­ment, who claim to have abolished all modes of punishment from the institu­tion whereby the prisoners would suffer any physical pain, and in their stead in­augurated a system that might bo called one of mor^l suasion. If one would take literally tbe published interviews of tbe president of tbo board of mana­gers and tbe superintendent of the in­stitution, the faots might show that ft

cent grand opera engagement in Boston: During a presentation of “Tosca" a number of Italians. sitting in a box, became con­vulsed with laughter. As Ternina was in the midst of her impassioned love song to Mario the people about them first won- dvred what they were laughing at, and then became incensed at the foreigners. Final­ly an usher was sent to find out the rea­son of so much hilarity. One of them said:

“Do you know what Ternina is singing?”“No." answered the attendant.“Well, instead of a love song, she is sing­

ing in impassioned accents: ‘Don’t turn around; your trousers are torn. Don’t turn around; your trousers are torn.’ " —Wash­ington Star.

S e v e n 1’r l n e i p n l H o u l e * .It is a well-known fact that the C., M.

& St. P. By. system offers a great many different routes between Chicago and St. Paul and Minneapolis. Its main line be­tween those points is especially well known as the route over which runs the famous “Pioneer Limited” and the Government Fast Mail Train. There arc six or seven other routes over a number of which are run through coaches and sleeping cars, which are almost as direct as the principal main line.

These various routes traverse the most interesting and attractive sections of Illi­nois, Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota, in- eluding the celebrated “Lake 'Region” of Wisconsin, and cross the Wisconsin river at the famous “ Dells,” where is the most picturesque scenery in the Northwest. The main line and several others include from 150 to 300 miles of romantic and picturesque sceneiy along the Mississippi river. On

these various lines are located the most im­portant towns and cities in the Northwest.

Both one way and special excursion tick­ets between! Chicago, St. Paul and Minne­apolis are honored via any one. of tlieqe di­rect lines. j ]

The teachers attending the National Edu­cational Convention at Minneapolis will ap­preciate and take advantage oi this fact sS they can have a choice of routes going ana returning. *

Health will come with a ll its blessings to those who know the way, and i t is mainly a ques­tion of right-living, with all the term implies, but the efforts which strengthen tho system, the games which refresh and the foods which nourish are im portant, each in a way, while i t is also advantageous to have knowledge of tho best methods of promoting freedom from unsani­ta ry conditions. To assist nature, when nature needs assistance, it is all im portant th a t the medicinal agents used should be of tho best quality and of known value, and the one remedy which acts most beneficially and pleasantly, as a laxative, is—Syrup of Figs—manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. ''

With a proper understanding of tho fact th a t many physical ills are of a transien t c h a r actcr and yield promptly to tho gentle action of Syrnp of Figs, gladness and comfort eomo to the heart, and if one would remove the torpor and stra in and congestion attendant upon a con* stipated condition of the system, take Syrup of Figs and enjoy freedom from tho aches and pains, the colds and headaches and the depression due to inactivity of the bowels. In case of any organic trouble it is well to consult a competent physician, but when a laxative is required remember tha t the most perm anently gratify ing results will follow personal cooperation •with the beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs. I t is for sale by all reliable druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle.

The excellence of Syrnp of Figs comes from the beneficial effects of the p lants used in the combination and also from the method of mannfaetnrc which ensures th a t perfect pnrity and uniformity of product essential in a perfect family laxative. All tho members of the family from the youngest to tho most advanced in years may use it whenever a laxative is needed and sharo alike in its beneficial effects. We do not claim th a t Syrup of Figs is the only remedy of known value, but it possesses this g rea t advantage over all other laxatives th a t ita c ts gently and pleasantly without disturbing natu ral functions, in anyw ay, as i t is free from every ob­jectionable quality or snbstance. To ge t its beneficial effects i t is always necessary to buy the genuine and the full name of the Co.—California Fig Syrup Co.—is printed on the front of every package.
