Dr. Conan Dovle's new novel, "A
Duet, with an Occasional Chorus," is a
story of a happy married life. The book
is to appear in England and America
early this spring. It is said that the
author has worked out his idea very
interestingly, and such a story ought to
help to balance the many tales of marital
woe wjth which the reading world has
been depressed of late years.
The Omaha World-Herald calls atten
tion to the fact that a direct all-rail
route to Mobile, a distance of 900 miles
from Omaha, is desirable, making it the
most" direct and available seaport for

the third largest fruit importing city in
the United States, and can take our corn,
Hour, butter, eggs, cheese and about
everything we can raise and manufacture.
The insurgents have already learned
that there is a vast difference between
tho methods of the United States and
Spain. There will be no wholesalo
shooting of native prisoners on the
lunetta after this battle. The Filipinos
will soon learn that American rule does
not mean slavery and death for them.
As soon as this fact sinks through their
skulls there will bo a quite unanimous
movement for peace and American pro
tection. Lincoln Journal.
The Blair Pilot says of the change of
Fisher from Valentine to Thompson, in

captain of a company in the Second Ne

appointment in the regular army. Brad
Slaughter is managing the Thompson
canvas and has promised Mr. Fisher a
commission in the regular army for his
support of Thompson. This promise is
no doubt made through the endorse

According to the Railway Agent of
Cleveland, the pennant for fast running
on American railroads has been trans
ferred from the east to the country west
of the Mississippi river. The splendid
showing made by the Burlington fast
mail trains between Chicago and Council
Bluffs is what has brought about the
change. These trains now make the 500
mile run between Lake Michigan and
the Missouri river at the rate of nearly
M miles an hour including stops. The
first exclusive fast mail train for the
west left Chicago March 11, 1884. It
consisted of a mail car and a baggage
car. Two trains, one of four, the other
of five cars are now required. The
schedule of the first fast mail was 15
hours 50 minutes. The present schedule
is 10 hours 15 minutes.
VOLUNTEER VICTORY.
The Triaanh of Citizen Soldiers in the
Suburbs of Manila.
The American volunteer has certainly
made a most impressive bow in our new
theatre in the far east With the excep
tion of the Fourteenth Infantry and the
-Sixth artillery, the regulars were not
engaged in the battle which raged around
Manila Saturday night and Sunday. It
was foagbt and won by volunteers in a
Hold the Philippines with
a just and firm hand.
sboooooooocxxxxxxxxxKsaoooos
n.m.or which will onen the eyes
of
Europe and Asia to the real merits of
the American soldier.
In all her long years of contention with
rebellious islanders Spain has never
fought, much less gained, so signal a
battle. England herself has not made
her presence felt as quickly nor as effec
tively in the new lands which she has
overrun. More than ten years of cam
paigning and preparation elapsed be
tween Chinese Gordon's fall and Sirdar
Kitchener's rise, and the troops which
slew and routed the dervishes at Khar
toum were the flower of British armies
inured to the hardships of tropical life
and re-enforced by a multitude of native
allies who fought the fanatics in their
own way and with their own weapons.
Tho performances of the American
volunteer troops in the Philippines are
extraordinary, measured by any standard
or any precedent. The attack of the
hostile natives was sudden, if not unex
pected. More than half the Filipinos
were armed with Mauser or Remington
rifles, intrenched in defensible redoubts
and trained in past conflicts with the
armies of Spain. There seems to have
been no lack of ammunition among the
riflemen of Luzon, for the official dis
patches relate that tho "insurgents fired
great quantities of cartridges." There
was neither hesitation nor doubt in the
conduct of the Americans, and the brief
reports of General Otis and Admiral
Dewey note the soldierly demeanor of
the volunteers.
The west is doubly proud of the
achievements of our army of the Philip
pines. With the exception of Pennsyl
vania, every volunteer regiment engaged
hails from a western state. California,
Washington, Idaho, Colorado, Nebraska,
South Dakota and Montana were repre
sented. The lists of dead and wounded
prove that every regiment did its duty.
The chapter enacted at Manila this week
is a worthy supplement to the victories
of our soldiers and sailors and a crown
ing vindication of tho American citizen
soldier. St. Louis Republic.
CONCERNING THE SOLDIERS.
General Miller has captured Iloilo,
without loss. Natives provoked assault.
Not a single American killed, so far as
known.
Dewey notified the navy department
that he has seized another schooner
loaded with arms and ammunition in
tended for Aguinaldo and his followers.
Information in the possession of the
authorities is to the effect that the Ger
man consul at Hong Kong was concerned
in the sale of the arms to the Filipinos.
A telegram from Manila under date of
Feb. 12, 4:50 p. m., says: It is now
known that the Filipino loss is fully 2,
C00 killed, with wounded vastly in ex
cess of that number, and thousands held
prisoners. All this has been achieved
at the cost of sixty-five Americans killed
and 27(5 wounded.
Manila, Feb. 11.-5:25 p. m. The
heat knocked out more of our men than
did the Filipino bullets, especially in
the marsh lands north of Malabon, where
tho Kansas regiment was stationed.
Fully a score of them were taken to the
hospital. Among the incidents of the
day it is cited that Privates Hartly and
Fitch of the Thirteenth Minnesota regi
ment were both wounded in the legs by
the same bullet and Private Mitchell of
Company B of the Kansas regiment,
while assisting a couple of men to the
rear, was shot in the left arm. The
railroad is now open to Caloocan and
supplies for the troops are being for
warded by rail.
Manila, Feb. 9. The Filipinos at
Caloocan opened fire last evening just
before midnight upon the Kansas out
posts on the extremo left of the Ameri
can line. They maintained a fusillade of
musketry, supplemented by an occasional
shot from two big guns, for about twenty
minutes. Tho Americans did not reply.
The enemy fired at long range and
nobody was hurt. All was quiet along
the rest of the line and there was no
change in the American position during
the night The First Wyoming infantry
relieved the Twenty-third infantry at the
water works yesterday, the latter return
ing to provost guard in the city, which
is gradually resuming its normal appear
ance. The Tennessees have just sailed
for Iloilo on the transport St. Paul.
Brigadier General Miller's forces now
consist of Battery G, the Sixth and
Eighteenth regular infantry regiments
and half a signal company, with the Bal
timore, Boston and Petrel.
Washington, Feb. 12. The following
cablegrams was received at the War de
partment today:
Manila, Feb. 12. Adjutant General,
Washington: It is reported here that
the insurgent representative at Washing
ton telegraphed Aguinaldo to drive out
the Americans before the arrival of rein
forcements. A dispatch was received at
Hong Kong and mailed to Malalos,
which decided that an attack should be
made about Pebruary 7. The eagerness
of insurgent troops for the engagement
precipitated a battle.
It is very quiet today on the lines from
Caloocan on the north to Panay on the
south. Yesterday a small reconnoitering
party, twelve miles south of the city, was
fired on and two men were slightly
wounded. Two insurgents with arms
were captured.
The affair of February 10, engaging
McArthur's division, was very successful.
The enemy's loss was considerable. We
have collected seventy dead bodies and
there are more not yet discovered. The
insurgents are reported to be gathering
in force twelve miles north on the rail
way, but they are in confusion.
Manila, Feb. 10.-7:40 p. m. The
American forces at 3:40 this afternoon
made a combined attack on Caloocan
and reduced it in short order.
At a signal from the tower of the De
Lome church, the United States double-
turreted monitor Mouadnock, opened
fire from the bay, with the big guns of
its forward turret on the earthworks
with great effect. Soon afterward the
Utah battery bombarded the place from
the land side.
The rebels reserved their fire until the
bombardment ceased, when they fired
volleys of musketry as the Montana
regiment advanced on the jungle.
Tho Kansas regiment on the extreme
left, with the Third artillery deploying
to the right, charged across the open
cheering, and carried the earthworks un
der a heavy fire. Supported by the ar
tillery at the church, the troops further
advanced, driving the enemy, fighting
every foot, right into the town line, pene
trated to the Presidencia, and lowered
the Filipino flag at 5:30 p. m.
The enemy's sharpshooters in the
jungle on the right, fired at long range
on the Pennsylvania regiment, but the
rebels were soon silenced by shrapnel
shells and the Pennsylvunians remained
in the trenches. As the Americans ad
vanced they burned the native huts.
The rebels were mowed down like
grass, but tho American loss was slight.
Washington, Feb. 10. The following
dispatch from General Otis was received
tonight:
"Manila, Feb. 10. Adjutant General:
Insurgents collected considerable force
between Manila and Caloocan, where
Aguinaldo is reported to be, and threat
ened an attack and uprising in the city.
Swung left of McArthur's division,
which is north of Pasig river, into
Caloocan, driving the enemy easily. Our
left is now at Caloocan. Our loss slight,
that of insurgents considerable. Par
ticulars in the morning. Attack pre
ceded by one-half hour's firing from two
of Admiral Dewey's vessels. Otis."

Many of you folks remember the air
"Pop Goes the Weasel." Here is a
stanza, as sung by a boy coming into
The Journal office:
"Wrap us np in the American flag,
Tuck ns under the Eagle,
Tickle oar ear with a barter straw.
Pop goes the weasel."
This paragiaph appears in The Jodr-
; nal of September 26, 1877: "P. J. Panly
& Bros., jail builders, have sent forward
the material for making Platte county's
cage, which will be 11x24 feet, containing
three cells and a hallway; the material
will weigh 19,000 lbs. W. B. Dale is now
their agent for this 6tate."
The Journal's platform those days
was stated thus: Givo us greenbacks
payable for all dues, public and private,
and redeemable in gold and silver coin,
with a government bond bearing 3.65 per
cent interest, issuable in sums as low as
fifty dollars, and we will be satisfied with
the finances provided we can get a
reasonable share of either.
James Scully, residing on the old Paw
nee Reservation, (now Nance county) left
with us some very interesting antiquities,
parts of utensils tlmt may have figured
among tho household goods of the ante
diluvian inhabitants of Nebraska, and
near where they were unearthed exist
many evidences that the antique race
known as "Mound Builders" once inhab
ited that section.
In tho record of commissioners' pro
ceedings for November 13, 1877, appears
the following: "On motion the clerk
was instructed to draw a warrant on
general fund in favor of P. J. Pauly &
Bro. for the sum of three hundred and
ninoty-five dollars as part pay on jail
work as per order issued by P. J. Pauly
& Bro. to Will. B. Dale and assigned by
Will. B. Dale to Thos. Flynn & Son.
On Thursday, November 15, 1877, at
11:35 a. m., two distinct waves of earth
quake, with numerous tremors, were felt
here, lasting about thirty seconds. At
the brick school house in district num
ber one (two stories) the walls were
cracked from the foundation up in two
places, and the school children so thor
oughly frightened that they rushed out
of the building and could not bo per
suaded to re-enter it. School was dis
missed for the day. The court house
wall was cracked in one place. Some of
the framo buildings creaked and swayed
considerably.
Hon. Schuyler Colfax, in company of
his former townsmen, Marshall Smith
and John Hnber, gave The Journal
sanctum a short visit, and detailed some
items of his twenty-ono years' experience
as a newspaper publisher. We had often
wondered why it was that South Bend
folks were so enthusiastic over Mr. Col
fax, and that without distinction of
party, but now we think we know why
it is. A man who is capable of thinking
and acting with entire justice to one who
opposes him strenuously in his opinions,
is not an ordinary man and is well worthy
the good opinion of his fellow-citizens.
Mr. Colfax had delivered a lecture in the
opera house upon Lincoln, illustrating
by fact and anecdote the exceeding ten
derness as well as the ponderous strength
of Lincoln's nature; his wonderful abil
ity to state a whole treatise in a single
sentence, and condense a campaign into
a telling phrase; his bold independence,
and, undor all circumstances, strict
adherence to his conscientious convic
tions of right and duty.
Good for Ames.
It is now definitely settled that Ames
is to havo the largest manufacturing
plant for beet sugar, in the state, a ca
pacity ultimately of 1,000 tons a day.
The factory, says the Fremont Tribune,
will be built this season. As soon as
spring opens dirt will begin to fly, the
meanwhile being well occupied in get
ting everything ready for active building
operation. It is expected that tho whole
plant will be completed, ready for sugar
making, by the first of October, though
the crop of boots will not be ready for
working until a month or more after
that date.
The factory will be located on the
Standard Cattle company's land, a short
distance north of the depot at Ames,
though the exact spot has not yet been
selected. This year machinery will be
put in sufficient to handle 500 tons a
day, room being provided in all the
buildings for installing additional ma
chinery so as to bring the capacity next
year up to 1,000 tons. This is for the
reason that it is not expected that a
sufficient quantity of beets can be con
tracted for at this time to supply a
thousand-ton factory this season. The
plant will be built and equipped bp the
Oxnard Construction company, though
this concern has no interest whatever in
the new factory beyond the building of
it. The Oxnards have erected a half
a dozen factories for themselves and
their experience well qualifies them for
the work they will have to do. Tho
principal stockholders of the company
are members of the Standard Cattle
company, a corporation of a million dol
lars capital. They are for the most part
Boston men, some of them worth many
millions. It will thus be seen that there
is unlimited capital behind this gigantic
enterprise.
The cost will be from $500,000 to $750,
000. The Standard Cattle company has
5,000 acres and an option on 3,000 ad
ditional, and expect to raise a large por
tion or the beets used. - -
The Journal congratulates the pro
jectors of the enterprise on their choice
of location for Nebraska's third sugar
beet factory, knowing that in the nature
of things, others will follow elsewhere,
and Nebraska's rich garden-soil will be
come still more fertile as the years go
by, and opportunities for acquiring
wealth are improved.

A Romantic Contest....
A young man in Nebraska fell desperately in love with a
girl in his class at college and desired to declare his love in
writing. The "World-Herald asks its readers to join in giving
him a suitable sentence. Can you make a suitable one from
this skeleton?

The Omaha Weekly World-Herald will give a
Cash Prize of $100.00
to the person who can fill out the skeleton words in the above
sentence most completely by using the following letters:
bsrwtatydahtemhremftuaiwren a x
stfyifiufewnenwhuyiciuyncartmp
The 75 persons who come nearest to winning the cash prize but do
not win it will each receive the Sunday Wokld-Hkbald, twenty-four
pages every Sunday, one year free.
Every contestant who succeeds in completing as many as 11 of
the incomplete words, whether he wins cash or a subscription to the
Sunday World-Herald or not, will receive as a premium "Snap Shots"
of the Trans-Mississippi exposition, containing about forty excellent
half-tone photographic views of the buildings and grounds.
To enter the contest simply write the sentence, legibly, as nearly
complete as you can, put after it figures indicating how many words
you have completed, and give your name and address. It is required
that each competitor send in the same letter with his sentence a year's
subscription to the Weekly World-Herald, which is issued in semi
weekly sections, at one dollar a year. Those who win the Sunday tub
aeription will also receive the Weekly paper for which they have paid.
Residents of Omaha are barred from the contest.
The contest closes February 28th, 1899. In case of a tie the prize
money will be tqually divided. This offer has been submitted to the
postal authorities at Washington and they say it is not objectionable.
