That Poor LKW.
To the Editor The Journal. The new poor law is being enforced, and the main features are briefly as follows:
The township trustee i6 overseer of the poor. When a person applies for aid, he must offer him work, if he can, and if work is procured and he will not do it, then he receives no aid. The trustee must get names of the relatives of persons applying for aid, and see if they will not keep their poor relations with money or work so the township would not be obliged to do it. The trustee can give but 515 per year to the-same family, UMU-SB the county commissioners direct him to do otherwise, and even in this case the combined aid cannot go beyond $5 per mouth. Persons not able to «ret along with this &5 per month, -ill have to go to the poor house and taeir children to the Orphans' Home, and there is no other way for the trustee to do but to scatter them in this manner. Railroad transportation cannot be given to any able bodied person under any circumstances whatever, and before transportation can be extended to old, crippled or sick persona the trustee must be convinced that they are not frauds, even if he has to write all over the country to tind out, and during the lapse of time in which the trustee Is writing around about these persons they must be entertained by the poor farm management (and at the expense of the county) If the head of a family can get work and will not work, then the trustee is compelled to refuse aid after such a condition of affairs has been revealed to him. There is no difference in the law made between a man with a family or a widow with a family, all being classed in the same lines. Poor relief societies are to keep the overseer informed as to who they aid, SD a double dose will not be given the same family. While the new law is based upon a theory, and anchored with plenty of red tape, yet it is to be hoped that it will aid the trustees iu getting rid of the unworthy class.

Obituary.
The gum reaper death has (.'ast its shadow of gloom over another home. This time it is the home of Jesse Coons near Mace, and the familiar adage tnat death loves a shinning mark is again verified. Elsa Earl Coons, aged 11 years, was taken from this life Thursday April 27th 189!. When we say he was exceptionally bright, it is not because it is customary at such times as this, but the child gave evidence of more than ordinary intellect and when the dread hour came he was fully concious of it all and met it like the perfect little hero that he was. Conscious that death was upon him, he was perfectly resigned while the words of comfort and consolation that he spoke to parents and friends were well befitting to one of much older years. When his father said, "Elsa have you no tears to shed?" his reply was, "I had a fair home here where death never entered until to-day, but I'have a fairer one over yonder. I an the child of a king, with Jesus my Savior I am the child of a king. Meet me there. We shall meet over there by the side of the river. There is a bright day coming. The water is so deep you cannot wade." With such evidence from a child who can doubt the existence of a life beyond the grave where the just will be united with their loved ones. "Go to thy rest, fair child!
Go to thy dauntless bed, While yet so gentle, undeflled With blessings on thy head.
Shall love, with weak embrace, Thy upward wings detain? No gentle angle seek thy olace
Amid the cherub train.
Ere sin has scarred thy breast, Or sorrow make thee tear Kise to thy throne of changeless rest
In your celestial sphere."

Beating by Animal Heat. In considering the problem of heating the large department stores, which are now to be found in nearly every big city, it is very well worth taking into account the animal heat distributed by the many customers who come into such establishments. That this is considerable, remarks Cassier's Magazine, is evidenced by the experience of at least one engineer, who, in one such case, found that after 9:30 a. m. on a day in midwinter, with the thermometer at the freezing point, no other heat was needed to keep the place warm. ps?n

FIGHTING GOES OS
General MacArthur Assaulting San Tomas In the Philippines.
BEBfcLS FIRE THE TOWN
While the Ainoisr-ns Arc l-'iiihtins? For Possession of OJ.ataafa Reported to Have ail Armistice—General Otis Fails to Mention
HrnSrcss ol" I'eaoe Negotiations.
Manila, May 4.—Noon—General MacArthur is now assaulting the town of San Tomas, about five miles northwest of Calumpit. The Americans are fighting for the bridge and the rebols are burning the town.
MATAAFA.
Rebel Sainoan Chief Has Signed an Armistice. Apia, Samoa, April 27, via Auckland, New Zealand, May 4. Mataal'a, the rebel chieftain has accepted an armistice. The Germans, however, declined to sign the proclamation.
News of Armistice Anxiously Awaited. Washington, May 4.—Officials at the Germau embassy say that no recent information had been received of events in Samoa. Evidently nothing of an important nature was expected for some time at Ambassador Von Holleben has left that city for a visit of several days in New York* Fuller reports of affairs leading up to the armistice are awaited with much interest and the hope is confidently expressed that the Mataafa element lias decided to submit and await the decision of the joint commission, now on its way there. Germany, it was stated, was anxious that there should be an end to hostilities.
NO MIXTION
Made In Otis' Advices as to Progress of Peace Negotiations. Washington, May 4.—General Otis made no mention in his report to the war department yesterday of the progress of the negotiations with the insurgents for the cessation of hostilities, but that fact did not abate the confidence of officials in the ultimate success of the pending attempts to arrive at an understanding. There is a belief at the war department that tbe Filipino leaders are thoroughly discouraged and it is suspected that the next step in the peace negotiations will be a wholesale effofrt on the part of individual Filipinos in the insurgent ranks to make terms for themselves without reference to others. Meanwhile, there may bo some small engagements between the outposts, but nothing like a general battle is expected. The reported junction effected between the forces of Lawton and Hale gives great satisfaction to the officials here. They have been appehensive over the length of the line communication between Lawton and Manila, but a short route is open now to Maloloson the railroad, there is
110
longer any reason to
fear that suDnlies can be cut off.

C. Todd of the Wilmington, the decoration of the order of Bust of Bolivar. The Venezuelan government in this way desires to express its cordial appreciation of the friendly disposition evinced by the visit of Admiral Sampson and the squadron under his command.
Capitat ion Tax.
Washington, May 4.—Acting Secretary of War Meikeljohu in response to an inquiry makes the announcement that the capitation tax imposed by the laws and regulations issued by the treasury department Aug. 18, 1898, and which tax is imposed at all ports of entry upon emigrants coming to the United States, equally applies to all emigrants applying for entry at ports of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines.
Son of General Dan Sickles. Washington, May 4.—Stanton Sickles of New York has been appointed secretary of the United States legation at Madrid, and will join Minister Storer at that place as soon as the legation is reopened.

San Juau de Porto Rico, May 4.—Several hundred soldiers, who were discharged from the United States army three weeks ago, are awaiting transportation home. They are without fuuds and are becoming much exasperated over the delay.
