The gun boats found rebel cut renched at Hns inoan and ()u;ij,'u:i, on the water fronts of the towns. The vessels steamed past tho works, shelling the occupants and driving them out. Landing parties from tho boats entered both towns, capturing at Sosmoin a Spanish cap tain in uniform, who was ostensibly a prisoner in tho hands of the rebels, and also a native ollicer. Arriving at Gungua, the town and a small gun boat wero found to be burning and the natives worn evacuating tho place in consequence of the bombardment. At Sosmoan tho landing party cap tured a number of Filipino Hays and a quantity of arms, chiefly Jiolos and bows and arrows, besides a lot of band instruments, which the men played as tho marched back to the boats. Captain Grant's expedition will probably return up the San Fernando river after having boon reinforced, on recently purchased light draft Spanish steamers. Olli-il Krport of Oil. Washington, May 8. The war de partment has received from General Otis a dispatch giving the situation in the Philippines, some parts of which have beon omitted by the war depart ment in making it public. The dis patch is as follows: MANILA, May S Adjutant General, Washington: Situation as follows: Lnvton at Maasin and Halinag; scout ing p iriies to the north and east. Mac Arthur at Sin Fernando. 'Population of country between Manila and northern points held by troops is returning home; appear cheerful and contented. Army gunboats operating in rivers. Have cleared countrv west of Mr.cArthur of insurgents Signs of insurgents'" weakness more ap parent daily. Otis. Tho war department officials seem to bo even more encouraged over the condition in Manila. The report of General Otis, received today, indi cates that the American troops are well disposed. Tt has been evident that tho insurgents, who were operat ing in the swamps and jungles east of General MaeArthur. have been very annovintr, but the gunboats have made it too hot for them to remain. Ireneral I,a w ton appe li s to be pushing north ward some fifteen miles to the east of MaeArthur. The Kio Grande river lies between them, and there tho gun boats evidently are at work. The por tions of the dispatch which the de partment has not made public perhaps refer to tho future movements of the two divisions of the army. Onlrr lu Tnk KITf-cl ( llir I'li-axiir .r f-'uiiiitu Aili.ilrul. Washington, May s. Tim navy department has selected u ru ces-'or to Admiral Ilwey to command the A-iatic station. Orders were issued today detaching K-ar Admiral Wat Hon from command of the Mare !lnnt navy yard and oidermg him to report to Admiral Dewey at Manila to relievi that ollicer when ho feels that he can be spared there. I tear Admiral KemplT, at present on waiting orders, has been ordered to succeed Admiral Watson in command of tho Mare Island navy yard. Washington, May S It was stated at the navy department today that Admiral Dewey will come from Manil direct to In ew ork when ho returns to tho United States. However, was added the admiral will not start until the commission of which ho is member has com p'.etcd tho work it has undertaken, at least so far as it re lates to the restoration of peace to tho islands. Tho reason for bringing tho llagship Olympia to New York instead of having it come to San Francisco, wnere it was Hunt, is a ntl to tin pri marily because Admiral Dewey desires to make a passage on his own llagship, but also for the reason that the Mare island yard threatens to bo over whelmed with repair work as soon as tho numerous vessels of Dowej"rf fleet begin to return to tho United States The Olympia is in need of a thorough overhauling, having been away from the homo 8ta tion longer than any of the vessels in the Asiaslie licet, and has rendered more than Die nsua amount of hard service Curing its absence.

TheTopeka Capital has started a popular subscrip tion to purchase a sword for General Funston. F.very county, town ncd city in the state is asked to contribute. Tho appeal for contributions says: "The wonderful energy of tho Twen tieth's colonel in battle in tho Philip pine campaign has spread the fame of Kansas throughout the world and the press of England, as well as our coun try, is ringing with his prai?es. Kan sas, in recognition of the splendid rec .iic ord of the Twentieth regiment, intends giving them such a i-eceptiou on their honu coming as will show how great is the popular appreciation of their gal lantry. As a special testimonial to General Funston we believe thatthous . ands of lojfl Kansans will be glad of an opportunity to contribute toward tho purchase of a sword commemorat ing the important part he has played in the campaign. It is the intention to have the sword specially manufac tured and ready to present to General Funston on his return home.' Ileal ArtiMt.

A cloudburst happened at Cedar Creek last Sunday morning at (l:.'!'l o'clock. Small streams wero out of their banks in no time. The damage to fruit and tolling land will run up into thousands of dollars. Tuo H. & M. railroad track was overllowed for four or live hundred yards, washing logs and debris along tho track two J feet to six inches in depth.

Stopher, son of Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Stopher of Elm wood, was held at that place i..s!. Sunday afternoon tit .'J o'clock. The high esteem in which the family is held, together with the popularity of deceased, brought cut a very large concourse of friends Hetiues tnoso present in and from the vicinity of Elrawood, friends were in attendance from "Weeping Water, Eagle, Alvo. Murdcck, Louisville, abash, I'latt;- niouth, Lincoln and other points. The services wero conducted by llov. Turrell, pastor of tho Methodist church, assisted by Iiev. Lewis of the Christian church. Tho pastor's re marks were touching and appropriate. He took for his text "Is tho Yout:g Man, Absaiom, Safe?" Tho choir was assisted by the male quartet of K igle, who sang two beautiful selections. Tho numerous and handsome lloral offer ings woee indicative or ttie love and regard his friends had for him. The pill-beaiers were selected from his most intimate friends of Eimwooii, Weeping Water and Eigle. It was a sad scene to see these twelve young men boar their comrade to his last esting place . The deceased was twenty-four years of age, born and reared in the vicinity of Elm wood and was a graduate of the Weeping Water academy. TIo en tered tho state universitjr, but was compelled to give up his work there on account ef ili hciith. Thinking it might be better for him, he secured a. position in Spokane, Wash., where ho remained until a few months before his death. Few young men are pri vileged to en joy as large a circle of friends as did Mr. Stopher. He was exemp.ary in character, industrious. iff able, and long will his memory bi3 ondly cherished by those who knew in in. that are interesting. Purcell says a rat, when caught In a trap, will cut off a limb to escape. Ho one day caught a rat with a blacksmith's pincers. He had only time to fix the pincers on Hie rat's tall, but with sufficient grip to hold the rat for a time. He In tended taking the rat to a feed box in the barn, where the fighting qualities, could be tested by a terrier. The rat, hanging by Us tail, turned around to free itself from the pincers. Finding that (lie pincers were hajder than Its teeth, it turned it. attention to Its own tail. It cut with its. td-'th a ring around the tail and then made a jump. The skin peeled off the tall, leaving the tail covering iu the grip of l'urcell and the pincers. It is need less to say that the rat escaped. Min ers believe that rats leave a failing mine. M. W. Kerrigan met a horde I of rats one day when he was entering I a mine. He attempted to kill them with a stick, hut as fast a3 he knocked one out another took his place. He was accompanied by a dog, and the dog was no badly bitten by the rats that he sought shelter behind Kerri gan. Seeing that the clog was badly injured by the attack of the rats, Ker rigan took him outside the mine to have his injuries attended to. Kerri gan then returned to the workings, but was surprised to find that the entry in which he had met the rats had fallen in during his absence. sammmmrn f mnmwmm in mmmmm,mmwmmmm G.

The largest bicycle ever built was the product of an American concern, and was built for advertising purposes. The framework was made of six-inch tubing.

All the woman's money was, however, exrended, and the brother-in-law was uable to maintain her.

Have Taken Methods. The glove industry, which was first settled in Gloversville, N. Y., in 1809, now represents an investment of no less than $15,000,000. Rough mittens made from the deerskins received from the traders in exchange for tin were the first product of the settlement, and the first load of gloves that went to Poston was forwarded in 1823. In the early days of the industry glovemaking was followed exclusively by women, but it now engages the services of a large number of men. The old style was for the glover to lay his pattern on the leather and then, after mark ing the outline with a leadpencil, to cut it out with his shears. The glove was sewed by hand, and when seams had been pounded it went through the process of pressing. This was done by placing it between two hoards, on which the glovemaker sat while mak- I ing another pair. The modern method I of manufacturing the glove is to cut the leather and fold it over so that the back is larger than the front. The operator then makes three cuts through the doubled pieces, so that it may produce the hack and front 'or the four fingers. Next an ovoid hole is cut for the insertion of the thumbplece Long strips or gussets are sewn on the inner side of the first and fourth fin gers; but the second and third finger gussets are sewn on both sides. After ward small diamond-shaped piecps are cut, fitted and sewn in the spaces be tween the bases of the fingers. The ornamental embroidery Is then stitched on the back, the buttons or fasteners fitted and the wrists hemmed and tha glove is finished. The operators earn on an average 2 a day. A BOON TO MANKIND!
