Although the trains hauled from ten to thirteen well filled sleeping cars and coaches each night, yet schedule time of arrival at Omaha and at Chicago was an accomplished fact—a record to be proud of, and which has resulted in establishing the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway in the minds of the traveling communitj’ as the shortest, best and most reliable route from Chicago to Omaha as well as to California.

Keepx Folks Well. It is better to keep well than to get well,although when one is sick it is desirable to get well.

If there were three townships cut off of the west side of Jay county and attached to Blackford county it would make the era composing the two counties more equal. This would throw Penn, Knox and Richland townships in Blackford county, and would make seven townships in Blackford county, and would leave Jay county with nine townships, where, as it now is, Blackford county has but four townships while Jay has twelve townships. Why not ask to have the change made. —Corn and Glass. Beats the Klondike. Mr. A. C. Thomae, of Marysvills, Tex., has found a more valuable discovery than has yet been made in the Klondike.

An Unusual Experience. “What makes you admire Miss Jessup so much?” “I tried to make love to her and she wouldn’t let me.”—Chicago Record. A CRITICAI. TIME During the Battle of Santiago. Sick or Well a Rush Night and Day. The packers at the battle of Santiago de Cuba were all heroes. Their heroic efforts in getting ammunition and rations to the front saved the day. P. E. Butler, of pack-train No. 3, from Santiago, de Cuba, on July 23rd, says: “We all had diarrhoea in more or’less violent form, and when we landed we had no time to see a doctor, for it was a case of rush and rush night and day to keep the troops supplied with ammunition and rations, but thanks to Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoeea Remedy, we were able to keep at work and keep our health; In fact, I sincerely believe that at one critical time this medicine was the indirect saviour of our army, for if the packers had been unable to work there would have been no way of getting supplies to the front.' There were no roads that a wagon train could use. My comrade and myself had the good fortune to lay in a good supply of this medicine for our pack-train lyefore we left Tampa. and I know in four cases it absolutely saved life.” The above letter was written to the manufacturers of this medicine, the Chamberlain Medicine Co., Des Moines, lowa.

DEWEY HEARD FROM INSURGENTS STEADILY CAPTURING ISLANDS FROM SPANISH. Island of Negroes Has Declared Its liidepeudence and Desires an American Protectorate—Americans Unable to Prevent Looting. Washington, Nov. 19.—News of a mixed character came to the navy department late yesterday from Admiral Dewey touching the situation in the I Philippines. The admiral sent two of his warships, the Charleston and the Concord, some time ago to the south- ! ward from Manila to ascertain whether | there was any truth in reports that the insurgents had extended their activities in that direction. He cabled as follows: Manila. Nov. 18. Secretary Navy, Washington: Charleston and Concord arrived today from Iliolo. Glass reports that the entirity of Panay is in possession of insurgents except Iloilo, which is defended by 800 Spanish troops. All foreigr citizens there beg for American protection. The island of Negroes has declared independence and desires American protectorate. Dewey. Glass is the commander of the Charleston. So far nothing has been done by the administration towards curbing the insurgents in their operations save verbal representations from the American commanders to Aguinaldo, in which it was pointed out to him that it would be good policy, in view of the probability of the annexation of the islands by the United States, to pursue a course that would not be obnoxiou to the United States. But the situation is now realized to be critical. So far as the Spaniards are concerned, perhaps they ccn be left to take care of themselves, but the foreign residents at Iloilo are differently regarded. The difficulty in the situation is, that with the best intentions to intervene to protect the Europeans and other foreigners and to save the city of Iloilo, the second in importance in the Philippine group, from looting, the United States forces appear to be estopped, under the rules of war, from miring from their positions. Such is the construction placed upon the clause in the protocol relating to a suspension of hostilities. The immediate effect of this state of affairs may be to hasten action in th" Paris conference, for it is only by the termination of that tribunal that the United States can come to the relief of the beleagured Spaniards in Iloilo and at other points. It is said to be a fact, however, that a total disagreement at Paris may result in speedier action than if the commissioners agreed upon the main principles of the Philippine cession. It is now thought to be certain that the commission at a meeting next Monday or Tuesday will do one of two things, i. e., either agree to the cession of the Philippines or note a disagreement and dissolve the meeting, for the administration is not disposed to tolerate further delay and has so instructed the United States commissioners. The Americans will take no notice of hair splitting pleas, but at today’s meeting will call on the Spanish commissioners to make answer to the American proposition to cede the Philippines, probably allowing until Monday or Tuesday for a final and responsive answer on that point.

Secretary Wilson’s Scheme Would Provide For Agricultural College Graduates. Washington, Nov. 19.—Secretary Wilson of the department of agriculture believes that the graduates of the agricultural colleges, maintained by appropriations of congress, should have an opportunity to become of some practical aid to the government, subsequent to their educational course at its expense. For this purpose he believes that the best talent should be given an opportunity, through the civil service commission, to take examinations for work in the de partment of agriculture at Washington, their pay to be reasonable and enough to live on, but not large. He thinks that several of these graduates might be assigned to the department, new appointees taking the place of those securing more important positions in the greater institutions of learning or in the experimental colleges as practical teachers. Beresford Advises China How to Maintain the “Open Door" For Commerce. Shanghai, Nov. 21.—Rear Admiral Lord Charles Beresford, who is visiting China in the interests of the British associated chambers of commerce, in the course of a speech here dwelt upon the “grave daLgers threatening British commerce so long as the dominant military position of Russia and the effete condition of China are allowed to continue.” He insisted upon the necessity of a "firm policy,” which should include the organization of a thoroughly equipped Chinese army and a commercial alliance with the United States, Germany and Japan, in order to preserve China’s integrity and maintain the “open door.” Letter From Peary.

Lord Cromer. To read Egyptian-French accounts of Lord Cromer, you would picture him a stiff browed, hard mouthed, cynical, taciturn martinet. To look at the real man, you would say that he gave half of his time to sleep and the other half to laughing. Lolling in his carriage through the streets of Cairo, or lighting a fresh cigarette in his office, dressed in a loose fitting gray tweed and a striped shirt, with ruddy face, short white hair and short white mustache, with gold rimmed eyeglasses half hiding eyes half closed, mellow of voice and fluent of speech—is this the perfidious Baring, you ask yourself, whom Frenchmen detest and strive to imitate? —this the terrible Lord Cromer whom khedives obey and tremble? His demeanor is genial and courteous. His talk is easy, open, shrewd, humorous. His subordinates admire, respect, even love him. He is the mildest mannered man that ever sacked prime minister. Only somehow you still felt the steel stiffening the velvet. Hers genial, but he would be a bold man who would take a liberty with him; he talks, only not for publication ; he is loved, yet he must always be obeyed. Velvet as long as he can, steel as soon as he must—that is Lord Cromer. — “Egypt in 1898,” by G. W. Stevens.
