THE FRONTIER. ecBLisiircn kvhrt rnrnsDAT at thb FliONTiKll rjUNTIXO COMPANY. O'NEILL. - * NEBRASKA. NEBRASKA Indications are that David City will net a new depot this year. The down of Harris has organized a Good Templars lodge of forty-one members. Rev. Jamison of Sioux City has been holding union revival meetings at Oeheyedan. The postoffice at Bennington was broken into and about $3 in stamps and $7 in pennies stolen. The general merchandise store of M. H. Friedrloh sen was also broken into and so far Mr. Friedrichsen has missed seven pairs of shoes. Assistant Secretary of War Meikle john has decided that the Third Ne braska shall be mustered out on the Atlantic seacoast and that the men shall be given a travel pay from point of muster out to their homes. An Alliance dispatch says that grad ing outfits are arriving on all trains and going into camp along the line of the Burlington survey. A great de mand for horses and mules has been created by reason of the building of the Burlington branch. The North Platte valley In the vicin ity of Gering is the scene of great ac tivity on the part of the surveying parties of the Burlington and Union Pacific companies. The former is cross-sectioning on the north side of the river and there seems to be no doubt that it has its line finally lo cated. Mrs. C. S. Jones, who was appointed by Governor Holcomb superintendent of the home for the friendless at Lin coln, and who has never had control of the institution owing to the refusal of the society to turn over Its manage ment to state control, is expected to obtain charge of the home in a lew days. John C. Watson returned to Ne braska City and was immediately taken into custody by the sheriff on a war rant sworn out by William Hawke, charging him with unlawfully procur ing Hawk's signature to a deed with in tent to defraud him out of his inter est in certain real estate valued at about $5,000. He was taken before the county judge and gave bond for $1,000 for his appearance. The case is set for hearing May 5. Fred Moffit, clerk of the Hotel De Fair, shot and instantly killed William Hough at Hyannis at the hotel office. Hough attacked Moffit with an iron poker and Moffit used a revolver in self defense. Hough was of a cuar relsome disposition and was often in trouble. Moffit has resided there for some months and has always borne a good reputation. Moffltt surrendered himself to the deputy sheriff. Rumor says Hough's jealousy of his wife caused the trouble. A farmer living south of Wymore has settled the question of whether a far * mer can sell his milk to a skimming station with profit. He has milked two cows during the last year and has re ceived exactly $60 for the milk, besides what he used for household purposes. In addition to this he has sold two calves at $10 each, making a total of $80. The experiment show^that a far mer with twelve cows and 100 hens can live entirely independent of the droughts or hot winds. * The $45,000 appropriation for wolf bounties will become available about July 1. It is announced at the auditor’s office that transferred certificates for scalpB will be honored, and that such certificates may be collected in num bers by bi|iks, county treasurers or in dividuals and will then be paid in bulk by the state. This course, it is believ ed, will facilitate payments and in large measure relieve the department from the considerable labor of dealing direct with each individual claimant. A Nebraska City dispatch to the Lin coln Journal says: John C. Watson, ex-state senator, ex-speaker of the Ne braska house and for twenty-five years one of the foremost lawyers and politi cians in southeastern Nebraska, ]ius left his home city ana the state, never, it is asserted by those in a position to know, to return. His leave-taking oc curred as a result, it is claimed, of pressure brought to bear upon him by persons active in his prosecution for alleged sharp practices in his law busi ness and other shortcomings. South Omaha has filed a suit against the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy rail road for $6,697.80 damnges on account of the serious injury of Edward God win, an employe of the stock yards company, which occurred April 10, 1895. It is asserted that the railroad company delivered a car at the yards which was in a defective condition and which caused the accident. Godwin secured a judgment of $10,350 against the stock yards company, which was subsequently settled for the amount which the company now seeks to re cover from the railroad. A mutual division of census superin tendents of the state of Nebraska has been arranged between Senators Thurston and Hayward. Mr. Hayward will have the First, Fourth and Fltth congressional districts to fill, consult ing with Congressman-elect Burkett as to choice of superintendent of the First district. Mr. Thurston will consult with Mercer as to Second district rep resentative and will personally sug gest superintendents in the Third and Sixth districts. While the appoint ments will not be made for some time, it is the desire of Director Merriam to open up a correspondence with those to be elected. The Congregationalists of Sibley will build a fine new church this year. The acceptance of the resignation of Major Fred A. Williams of the First Nebraska regiment was received by Adjutant General Barry by wire from Washington. The reason for the res ignation having been tendered is sup i' posed to be poor health. Major Will r lams left with the First Nebraska reg iment as captain of company G of Geneva. He was promoted after the arrival of the regiment at Manila. Cap tain Lee Forby of Omaha who after ? ward became captain of company G was wounded in action and died of his injuries. The General With His Expe dition Returns to Manila. STARTS ON THE RETREAT AT ONCE All the Territory He Has Taken la to Be Kvaruated Immediately—He Saya That One Hundred Thousand Troops Are Seeded tar Hurreaiifully Comliat the Uuerlllas —Insurgents Concentrating. MANILA. April 17.—(New York World Cablegram.)—Lawton's expedi tion has been ordered to Manila and he will return immediately. Ail terri tory taken by Lawton will be evacu ated. The captured launches will be returned to their former owners, from whom the Filipinos took them. Law ton authorized this statement at Paete this morning: "The present prospect is that 100, 000 troops will be necessary to pacify the islands. The difficulties are those of fighting guerrillas in a tropical country. With a brigade I could force my way to the end of the island if I did not have to hold the ground traversed. But leaving garrisons behind soon eats up my force. I regret the evacuation of the territory taken.” "PALMER.” During the absence of Major General Lawton’s expedition to the Santa Cruz district, on the southeastern side of Laguna de Bay, the insurgents have been concentrating at the northern end of the lake, near Pasig, and the Amer ican scouts report that several thou sand are already there. General Lawton’s expedition is now on its way back. Two hundred and fifty Chinamen from Santa Cruz have arrived here. They left the town, owing to their fear that the rebels, on re-entering it, would wreak vengeance upon them for favoring the Americans. War has become so commonplace an experience to Manila that the average citizen no longer thinks of becoming excited over it. Every night some point of the horizon is crimsoned by the reflection from burning huts, kin dled by the soldiers to deprive the in surgents of hiding places. Every night’s quiet is shaken by the firing from the line encompassing the city. Every morning brings its pitiful little con signment of uncomplaining wounded to the hospital. Manila forms an American oasis in the island of Lu zon. Around the city stretches a thin line fifteen miles long of entrenched soldiers. The Filipino goes into the field un encumbered with useless baggage. Fol lowing the course of their retreat be yond Guadalupe church went the cou venlr enthusiasts who hung about the American army. They found nothing more than a few tin cooking utensils and empty cartridge shells, whose pat tern prove that the insurgents have the latest style of rifles. Trousers or drawers, a shirt, cartridge belt and rifle, a section of bamboo stalk filled with rice, a handful of green peppers tied in a handkerchief, sometimes san dals—these form the equipment of a iPillping soldier. T7o finer country for defensive fight ing and no more embarrassing for of fensive operations than the laud around Pasig lake could be imagined. The Chinese are the scavengers of the war. Like vultures they hover in the wake of the army, flocking down upon the ashes of every hut and the ruins of churches to dig out stuff that no white man could possibly use. Being beyond suspicion of any inter est in the hostilities save gain, they are admitted to the camps and employ ed as servants. Some of them peddle water and cigarettes on the line. One, more daring than most, crept about the trenches of the Kansas regiment under a hot fire and did a good trade. When competitors appeared he has tened to point out to them the spot where a soldier had been wounded, seemingly impressing on them the dan gers of their position, for they ran Away. • The forces of destruction are con centrated upon the churches. They are all solid buildings of stone, so the natives use them as forts. Some church has served as the keystone of nearly every Filipino defense and the Ameri can artillery is compelled to batter them. Caloocan church is a picture of the havoc of war. There General MacAr thur has his headquarters. The roof, a sky blue fresco, studded with gilt stars, has jagged holes where shells, from Dewey’s ships came through. Within the chancel rail is the office of the staff and the pulpits are used for desks. The rail holds a string of sad dles, a telephone hangs beside the statue of a saint, while the telegraph clicks incessantly in an alcove. Cots and hammocks fill the body of the church, where soldiers are sprawled out smoking and reading when off duty. A hospital occupies a chapel in a corner. The soldiers do not lack reverence, but everything must bend before their work. >ewnrk Miiy uo to siunoa. WASHINGTON, April 17—The New ark will sail from the Bermudas for the Pacific station in pursuance of the orders issued some weeks ago detach ing it from Admiral Sampson's squad ron. It may proceed to Samoa, but it is was said at the navy department that no significance attaches to this course, as it had been determined on before the recent outbreak there. Fllk Flag fot tlie President. ' NEW YORK, April 17—The British steamer Indrana, which arrived this morning from Japan and China ports, brought a small parcel said to contain a very beautiful silk combination Brit ish and American flag to be presented to President McKinley. The parcel was forwarded by Consul Johnson at Amoy. The flag was designed by a merchants' association at Amoy and is of pure silk, the American and British colors being artistically arranged. Accompanying the parcel is a letter addressed to Mr. Porter, President Mc Kinley's secretary. CURRENCY QUESTIONS. Conference of ihc Committee am Mone tary I.rgUlatloii Begin*. ATLANTIC CITY, N.
