MOVE TO MURDER
LADRONES AGAIN ACTIVE WITH
OUTRAGES.
—
A CANC OF OUTLAWS KILL
President of a Town Has His Head
Cut Off and His Wife Slashed—
Charges that Were Preferred
Against the Victims.
MANILA.—A portion of a gang of
Ladrones, operating on the island of
Bilirian, north of Leyte, where they
committed various outrages, crossed
over to the island of Leyte last Wed
nesday and entered a small town near
Carigara. Here they captured and be
headed the president of the town,
murdered his wife, whom they slashed
with bolos, and abducted the presi
dent's children. The motive of this
crime is said to have been the pres
ident’s friendliness with the Ameri
cans.
Ladrones are again active in the
provinces of Rlzal and Bulucan, Lu
zon. Members of the native constab
ulary engaged these bandits twice dur
ing the past week at points claso to
Manila, and succeeded in killing a
number of them. The constabulary is
capable of suppressing these I-adrones.
Reports received here indicate that
the situation on the Island of Salar Is
better than has been recently reported.
A number of Dios Dios, or religious
fanatics, are still operating there, but
officials reports that the Samar police
are able to handle the situation.
The body of a native woman, who
was attended at her death by priests of
the Catholic church of the Philippines,
was refused interment Sunday at the
Paco cemetery, which is owned by the
Roman Catholic church. There was a
scene at the cemetery and the police
were called in to maintain order.
In retaliation for this refusal of In
terment "Bishop” Agliclpa and other
leaders of the Schismatic movement
are discussing a plan to appeal to the
courts to obtain possession of certain
churches and other property in the
Philippines.
This independent church movement
is being watched closely in govern
ment and political circles. The extent
of the defection of the native clergy
and their lay adherents from the
church of Rome is not known, but it
Is claimed that a majority of the na
tive clergy sympathize with the move
ment.
THE IRRIGATION WORK.
What a Colorado Millionaire Has to
Say.
WASHINGTON.—Thomas F. Walsh,
the Colorado millionaire who presided
over (he sessions of the irrigation
congress, recently held tn Denver, ex
pressed himself Sunday as being well
satisfied with the results accomplished
at the convention. Mr. Walsh said
the ideas carefully outlined by his as
assoclatlon will endeavor to afford
with the plans of the geological sur
vey, in whose hands the administra
tion of tho irrigation bill rests.
"You must understand,” said Mr.
Walsh, “that the National Irrigation
association expects to accomplish its
greatest work in the moral influence
with which it will endeavor to sur
round the settlers who shall make
homes for themselves In the hitherto
great arid west. Working In hearty
co-operation with the government the
association will endeavor to afford
settlers the benefit of all the scientific
knowledge It possesses, in relieving
them, so far as it is possible, of the
obstacles which will confront them at
every hand.
Mr. Walsh explained that It will be
the aim of the association to arrange
the settlements in small towns and
villages and prevent if possible the
isolation of farm life as it is usually
found in the west.
"With the settlers gathered together
in communities/’ he continued, "it
necessarily follows that they will en
joy the benefits of social intercourse,
good roads, schools, sanitation and
many of the advantages of city life
added to the healthful freedom of the
country.’’

RUSH TO GET IDAHO GOLD.
Rich Discovery in Black Hornet Dis
trict the Cause of Stampede.
BOISE, Idaho—A remarkably rich
discovery of gold in the Black Hornet
district has caused a stampede com
parable to the mining rushes of the
early days. Knowledge of the dis
covery got out Sunday evening and
men started out at once to secure
claims. They kept going ail night and
on Monday several hundred visited
the scene.
A hitherto unknown vein has been
found about a mile and a half from
the Black Hornet vein. The mine was
a blind lead and was opened in doing
some work on property on another
vein. It shows seven feet wide.
On the hanging wall is a streak of
talc that is very rich; next lies four
teen inches of ore, showing great
quantities of gold. It is variously es
timated to be worth from ?5,000 to
?10,000 a ton.

HAVANA.—Dr. Finley, chief of th&
sanitation department, commenting
upon the health conditions of Havana

THE CUBAN WANT
SAY RECIPROCITY WOULD HELP
BOTH COUNTRIES.
OBJECT TO COALING STATION
Minister Qucsada Says that Havana
Will Never Be Given Up and He
Sees No Reason Why United States
Should Want Cienfuegos, Either.
WASHINGTON. — Senor Quesada,
Cuban minister to the United States,
la commenting on the negotiations now
being conducted for a commercial
treaty between Cuba and this country,
said on Friday:
"The reciprocity treaty is a purely
commercial convention and has abso
lutely nothing to do with the Platt
amendment. The Cuban government
has been studying the draft of the
treaty submitted by Mr. Hay, and has
been consulting the different Interests
in me lsiana ana me custom nouse re
ceipts, and in due time will return
it with observations, suggested and
modifications. It has been shown by
past experience, during the reciprocity
arrangement under Mr. Blaine, that
commerce between the two countries
materially increased, and it is expected
that under any other reciprocal ar
rangement, trade will be still greater
than it was ten years ago, at which
time it reached upward of $100,000,
000.”
He said the best of feeling existed
between Cubans and Americans and
found the proof in the fact that every
steamer arriving at Cuban ports
brought a great great many American
investors, who not only were putting
money in the island, but were estab
lishing more themselves.
He spoke of the popularity of Mr.
Squiers and the gratitude of the Cu
bans to the United States for services
rendered.
When asked regarding the proposed
coaling stations in Cuba, he said four
days before President McKinley was
shot he had, at the instance of Estrada
Palma, gone to Canton and secured a
solemn promise that while he was pres
ident, Mr. McKinley would not give his
consent to the establishment of a naval
station at Havana, and that President
Roosevelt knew of the promise.
Continuing, he said President Palma
would never have gone to Havana, the
Cuban capital, where a diplomatic
corps was established, while a foreign
flag was flying over the city.
He could not see the necessity for a
coaling station at Cienfuegos, which
had been recommended by Admiral
Bradford, chief of the bureau of equip
ment, in view of its proximity to Guan
tanamo, which also was recommended
as a coaling station.
MUSTERING OUT GUARDSMEN.
Tecumseh Company Has Lost Interest
in Soldier Life.
LINCOLN—Adjutant General L. W.
Colby has issued an order mustering
nut Company I, Second regiment, Ne
braska National guard, stationed at
recumseh. Captain Bennett, now
bookkeeper in the state auditor’s of
fice, resigned several months ago.
Captain William H. Ray resigned last
week, leaving the company in com
mand in company of First Lieutenant
Clarence A. Kessler. The company
was ordered to elect a new captain
and did try to do so, but no one could
be found who would accept the office,
rhe company has been going down
sver since the last encampment and
3eneral Colby decided to muster it out.
BRYAN IS IN TRAIN WRECK.
Uninjured and Continues Journey In
Refrigerator Car.
CRIPPLE CREEK—The Bryan spe
cial crashed into the caboose of a
freight train at Arena, in Brown can
yon, fifteen miles above Leadville, at
11:10 Tuesday. The special remain
3d on the track, but the caboose was
derailed and three people saved their
lives by jumping. Mr. Bryan was un
injured. He and his party were put
Into an empty Swift refrigerator car
and drawn by a freight engine to
Lathrop, seven miles away. There a
chair car was taken from a siding and
attached to the engine and run to
Buena Vista and Leadville.
Mrs. Cady Stanton Dies.
NEW YORK—Elizabeth Cady Stan
ton, the well known woman suffragist,
died Sunday at her home in West
Ninety-fourth street, aged 87. Old
age was given as the cause. She was
conscious almost to the last. About a
week ago Mrs. Stanton began to fail
rapidly. This became more noticeable
late in the week, and it was apparent
that her death was a question of only
a few days or hours.
Talk Union Pacific Strike.
NEW YORK—The directors of the
Union Pacific met here Thursday and
discussed the demands of the train
men who have threatened to strike.
No decision was made public.
TREATY OF CUBA.
Belief that it Will Be Ready for Next
Congress.
WASHINGTON.—The fact recorded
in the news dispatches from Havana
Tuesday that President Palma has re
turned to Washington the draft of the
reciprocity treaty without his approval
has not shaken the belief of the offi
cials here that they will have a treaty
ready to submit to congress by the
date of its next meeting.
As soon as Mr. Quesada, the Cuban
minister here, receives the document
he will submit it to Secretary Hay.
Negotiations will then be continued on
the basis of the original draft. Gen
erally stated, the Cuban objections
are based on a belief that the United
States has demanded undue conces
sions in the remissions of duties on
United States products entering Cuba
ranging all the way from 10 per cent
to 80 per cent in return for a 20 per
cent cut on Cuban sugar and tobacco
coming into the United States.
As the difference is uue strictly of
figures and not of principle it is the
opinion at the State department that
it can be settled amicably. If not,
and the Cuban government insists
upon terms that the State department
cannot grant, the two countries will
simply drift along without any trade
treaty of any kind. As Cuba will un
doubtedly be the principal sufferer, it
is expected here that it will be the
first to make another advance toward
a treaty.
There has been an important change
in the program respecting the whole
fabric of Cuban treaties. It had been
originally intended to perfect a reci
procity treaty before undertaking to
deal with other relations that must
be defined by treaty. As it is now
seen that the subject of reciprocity
is one that will require considerable
time for its disposition, the govern
ment here is about to undertake ne
gotiations looking to the arrangement
of an extradition treaty, which is very
much needed, inasmuch as Cuba
threatens to become a sink hole for
American criminals.
Also the navy is pressing for the
coaling stations promised under the
terms of the Platt amendment. There
fore the Cuban government willl be at
once invited to open negotiations on
this point. It is not expected that
this can be done without some friction,
because there has been a growing dis
clination on the part of the Cubans
to the idea of surrendering coal sta
tions to the United States.
LOUBET COPIES ROOSEVELT.
French President Tries to Settle the
Miners’ Strike.
PARIS.—President Loubet is now in
teresting himself in the attempt to end
the miners' strike. On Friday he held
an extended conference with M. Vin
cent, prefect of the department of Du
Nerd, who has been acting as inter
mediary between the strikers and the
mine owners in that department. The
mine owners have given the prefect
the names of four persons who are to
represent them in a conference with
an equal number of strikers. In a
semi-official statement President Lou
bet expresses hope for an early settle
ment of the strike and declares that
this would be a political accomplish
ment beyond precedent.
GIRDLE AROUND THE GLOBE.
Last Section of British Imperial Pa
cific Cable is Laid.
LONDON.—The last section of the
British Imperial Pacific cable was laid
at th'1 Fiji island Friday. A congrat
ulatory message to King Edward
reached Buckingham palace next morn
ing, being the first message sent over
the line which links the British empire
together.
Great importance is attached here to
the coming opening of the all-British
Pacific cable.
The completion of the line brings
into being for the first time a British
telegraphic girdle around the globe.
The cable is i,900 miles in length.
The Vancouver-Fanning portion is the
longest without a break in the world.
NEW LINE TO TAP WEST.
Northwestern Will Go to Coast with
Branch to Salt Lake.
BUTTE, Mont.—Advices from St.
Anthonq, Idaho, say the Chicago &
Northwestern has completed prelim
inary surveys for the extension of the
lines of the Fremont, Elkhorn & Mis
souri Valley from Casper, Wyo., to
that point.
It is understood the construction of
the extension will be begun in the
spring. It is believed to be the inten
j tion of the Northwestern to push on
from St. Anthony to the northwest
coast, touching at Portland and other
cities. A line to Salt Lake City is also
among the possibilities.
Scents More Corruption.
ST. LOUIS—Attorney Folk will in
vestigate charges that there has been
false registration in some of the
wards. All cases will be taken before
the grand Jury.
“Dr, August Koenig’s Hamburg
Breast Tea,” writes Mr. F. Batsch, of
Horicon, Wis., ‘enabled me to get rid
of an obstinate cough; we feel very
grateful to the discoverer of this medi
cine."
Dogs Solemnly Buried.
Two elaborately carved tombstones
of white marble were recently placed
over the graves of Naezan and Chiko
San, Japanese spaniels that once were
owned by Miss Daisy Leiter. The
dogs died in Washington in April and
were later transferred to the home
of the Leiters at Geneva, 111. There
they were solemnly buried, Joseph
Leiter, brother of Miss Leiter, reading
verses from Moody’s hymns over the
graves. While the family remained
at Geneva the graves were covered
daily with fresh flowers. The stones
recently erected are costly affairs
and show the highest skill of the
stonecutter’s art.
Austrian Emperor’s Birthday.
Emperor Francis Joseph recently cel
ebrated his 72d birthday, and the oc
casion was marked by festivities all
over Austria. The emperor had spent
the day quietly at his summer resi
dence at Ischl in the company of his
two daughters, with their husbands,
and surrounded by his grandchildren
and great-grandchildren. The emperor
pardoned all persons imprisoned in
Austria for the crime of lese majestet,
numbering 210.
A Wonderful Pill.
Freedom, Mo., Nov. 3d.—A splendid
remedy has recently been introduced
in this neighborhood. It is called
tlodd’s Kidney Pills and it has cured
Rheumatism right and left. On every
hand may be heard stories of the re
markable recoveries and from what
has been stated already there seems
to be no case of rheumatism that
Dodd’s Kidney Pills will not cure.
One of those who has already tpsted
the virtue of Dodd’s Kidney Pills is
Katie Anderson of this place, who
says:
“I can’t say enough for Dodd’s Kid
ney Pills. They have helped me so
much. I suffered very severely with
rheumatism. Five boxes cured me
completely. They are certainly the
most wonderful medicine I have ever
used.”
Osage county abounds in just such
cases and if the good work keeps on
there will soon be no rheumatism left
in this part of the state.
When a fat woman tries to be
“cute” she should be lodged in the
funny-head house.
Hives are a terrible torment to the little
folks, and to some older ones. Easily cured.
Doan's Ointment never fails. Instant re
lief, permanent cure. At any drug store,
60 cents.
Woman’s Enduring Charms.
A writer in one of the periodicals
cals attention to the fact that women
keep their looks much longer than
they did. The woman of forty, even
of fifty, is not so old as the woman
of thirty a few generations back. The
Juliet of today is not fourteen, but
twenty-five at least. Heroines of nov
els of the formerly popular age of
eighteen are now at a premium. The
young woman in a play is never the
center of interest or sympathy. Gen
erally she is a raw, almost ludicrous
specimen of a silly girlhood, and is
represented as barren of all those at
tractions which the married woman
double her age possesses in dangerous
measure. This particular writer
seems to think that this is a purely
modern development, and it is, to a
great extent, but the young beauty
did not have it all her own way in old
times; witness the power of Cleo
patra. The fact that men begin lif'
so much later—in Nelson’s time boys
went to sea when they had reached
the ripe age of six—accounts in part
for the domination of women who aru
no longer young.
