Giltner had a big blaze, last Fri
day, several business and residence
houses going up in flames.
Broken Bow is in the throes of a
first-class scandal. A Baptist cler
gyman has skiped the country with
a doctor’s wife. Both elopers left
familes.
Polk and Franklin county popu
lists have Dominated full tickets,
allowing the democrats to endorse
or go alone, just as they please.
Bryan has placed himself at the
disposal of the national democratic
goldites, to speak where it will do
them' the most good. Where, oh,
where will that be?
Some of our spotsmen would like
to know who is deputy state warden
in this neck of the woods. This is
about the time of the year when
it is a mighty good time for stubble
ducks and the above knowledge.
It's a blamed shame. Opponents
of Tom Tibbies, candidate for vice
president on the populist ticket, are
trying to beat him by claiming he is
a “squaw man.” Well, suppose he
is! There’s no law against loving
the red man, or red woman, for that
matter, is there?
This is hot stuff. WillManpin of
the Oommonor is a candidate for
secretary of state before the dem
ocratic convention. He is “it” of
the 4tate editorial associations, the
only other one being Edgar Howard
of the Columbus Times. All the rest
of the members of the state editorial
meetings are small fry.
Slugger Soaked the Wrong Spot
It is a poor day when a Loup City
man can’t get into the game. A
number of our citizens visited Bone
steel daring the excitement, and
not to be outdone, they furnished
the thugs one hold-up, in the person
of Jim Bowman. While Jim was
sleeping the sleep of the just, which
always accompanies a Loup City
man when abroad—or at home either
—and was dreaming of angels,
drawing the capital prize, and of
other good things, thugs sneaked up
to the wagon in whioh Jim slum
bered, knowing that none but pluto
crots could come from Loup City,
and whacked away at him. Nothing
saved Jim’s bacon, save the fact
that one foot had peaked out from
’neatb the clothes, which the thug
mistook for the cranium of his vic
tim, and whaled away. At first Jim
took it for a Bonesteel gallinipper,
and started to drive the insect away
when he beheld the midnight prowl
er, and, yelling like a Comanche,
awoke “Skip” Thrasher and other
campers, and went after the f ellowr
and his companions, who broke for
the open prairie and were soon lost
to view.
Accidentally Shot.
Word was received here Monday
evening that Miss Edith Adams of
Elba had accidentally shot herself.
Drs.Fletcher,Grothan and Nicholson
were summoned by telephone and
left for Elba at once. Miss Adaips
is a popular young lady vybo hag.
been raised pear the yillage of Elba
and is 19 years pld. She ipade the
statement that she had been practic
ing with a revolver and thought it
was empty, she having fired several
shots with it she turned the muzgle
towards her to examine it and in
some way it was discharged, the
ball passing through her body just
below the stomach, perforating one
of the intestines. The doctors did
all they could to relieve her suffer
ing but haye no hope for her recov
ery. Her parents live at Loup City
and were notified at once. A late
phone message Thursday evening in
formed us that she is getting along
very well, the attending physician
being well pleased with her condi
tion.—St. Paul Press.

Northwestern : As I have time I
thought I would write you again,
but Dot from the Philippine Islands
but from a far better port than tbe
islands possess, and that is the port
above named.
I will first give you a few events
happening since I wrote you last,
and then give you an idea of this
port.
On April 8th, in the morning, the
anchor was up at 9 o’clock and we
steamed through the northern en
trance to the bay. Following the
coast, which I have described in
previous letters, we passed Grande
Island, and at 4 o’clock were at an
chor in Subig bay, off Alongapo.
Tbe change for a few days was
pleasant indeed. At anchor close
to the shore, the forests and verdure
of the mountains were presented in
close detail, defying the adage that
distance lends enchantment to the
view.
Friday afternoon a large party
went ashore to witness s ball game
and to visit the post stationed there.
At 9 Saturday morning we rej
turned to Cavite.
Tbe last time I wrote, I told you
of the U. S. S. San Francisco arriv
ing at Cavite, but now will give the
story of her cruise from the time
she left God’s country. She steamed
from Pensacola, Fla., on April 4th,
1603. She went to San Domingo,
thence to Santiago, Cuba, where she
awaited the order sending her to the
European station. Stopping at Ber
muda for stores and coal, she then
proceeded to Lisbon, Portugal, ar
riving at that port June 7th, remain
ing there two days, when she joined
the fleet at South Hampton. The
fleet then proceeded to Nyborg,
Denmark, thence to Keil, Germany.
At Keil, June 23, Emperor William
received the fleet, which was deco
rated in his honor, during the day
each ship of the fleet firing a salute
of 36 guns. On July 1st, they sailed
to Kallunaborg, Denmark, then the
following day for Portsmouth, Eng
land, dropping anchor off Spithead
on the evening of the 6th. The fol
lowing morning they passed through
the British channel fleet, which was
then mobalized, and anchored, the
first foreign fleet ever harbored at
Portsmouth. On the 17th of July
the fleet sailed for Lisbon, arriving
there the 21st. On Aug. 8tli, the
San Francisco sailed for Gibraltar,
thence to Ville, France, thence to
Genoa, thence to Beirut, Syria, on
to Alexandria, back to Beirut and
then returned to Alexandria. Feb. 7
the San Francisco began her voyage
to the Asiatic station, reaching Port
Said Feb. 9th, through the Suez ca
nal to Bombay, thence to Singapore,
arriving at Cavite Maich 30, after
a most memorable voyage.
Since we have come to this sta
tion, the commaniag oflicer has re
ceived many letters from boys’ par
ents, complaining they did not hear
from their sons. I am glad I am
not one of them and I hope any boy
who goes away from home will re
member it requires little effort to
write a few lines to the dear ones
and their gratitude should ba a suf
ficient recompense.
I will speak of Filipino Christian
ity. During holy week in the islands
the sufferings of our Lord are bro’t
to the minds of the ignorant natives
by object lessons in the form of
wax images representing our Lord s
agony in Gethsemine, the trial be
fore Pilate, and his death on Calva
ry. These images are paraded at
night along the streets, amid canfllp
illumination and burning incensp.
The figures are ipoved on litters and
cars and are carried or drawn by na
tives who deyoutiy offer their ser
vices. They $re robed in costly orna
ments. One figure represents
our Lord in the person of a negro
staggering beneath the weight
of the oross. About this image are
crowds waiting like opportunity to
assist in carrying it. Men, women
and children are hurt in the excited,
fatnatic crush. At cross streets in
the line of procession crowds await
to surge in upon the “Black Christ”
as it comes along. So crowded is
the street about it 'that people are
rolled against the buildings. Hard
ly as bad as the Juggernaut car, yet
mothers have been known to sacri
fice their children beneath the feet
of this fanatical crowd in vain effort
to tonch the hem of its garment and
receive by faith the cure of disease
forgiveness of their sins.
