lowing extracts from the public records of
Land Commissioner Jacob V. Wolfe , when
he was a member of the Indiana legislature ,
ore furnished by the secretary of state of
Indiana , being copied from the records In his
office. This will bo most Interesting read
ing to the popocrats who have been going

coln party " The record Indicates that some
of the patriots who are now pretending to
hcd tears over the condition of the soldiers
were not always enthusiastically In favor of'
"alleviating the sufferings of sick and
wounded soldiers " It also Indicates that
"Uncle Jake" has always from principle been
opposed to any "Imperialism" tending to ex
tend the Influence of the American Hag , and
that he believes In the dlsfranchlsement of
soldiers In the field

The city council Is still mixed up over
the paving business The property owners
along 0 street cannot agree on the kind ot
paving material that Is to bo used , gome
favoring asphalt and others being sure that
brick Is the best. When the city paving
committee met today It was evident that i
majority vsas In favor of asphalt Hut before
any order was made n committee represent
ing the property owners who favor brick
appeared with a signed protest. This caused
, a delay and In the meantime O. N. Humph-
j rey got out an Injunction to prevent the
j ' council from taking any action In regard to
j thu 0 street paving. The hearing ot th"
i ' raso Is set for September 19 and the property
owners will now have another week In
which to quarrel over the matter The pav
ing committee before Its adjournment or
dered asphalt pavement to be put down on
South Eleventh street.
The school board at Its la t meeting
raised the question as to whether the school
district or the city should pay for the
paving around the school buildings. Tha
amount In question Is $9,000 and the only
dlffur"nce to the taxpayers Is caused by thtt
fact that the school district Is a trlflo larger
than tbo city. If the district pays for the
paving the property owners In the city will
have $3CO less to pay than if the city paid
the tax. The difference in the controversy
Is so small that the taxpayers are paying
no attention to It.
Examinations are being bold at Wesleyan
university , at University Place , and the
Indications now are that the attendance
this jear will bo much larger than ever
before.

There Is a row among the stockholders of
the Combination Mining and Milling com
pany , and It is a big one. It seems that
an assessment was recently levied and some
) of the local stockholders refused to pay , on
the ground that they were unable to get
on accounting and could not tell how the
affairs of the company stood. It seems
that the principal business office hnd been
moved from Butte to St. Louis. The com
pany advertised the stock of these stock

12 , and that brought the stockholder Into
court.

Twelfth Infantry was formerly stationed at
Toil Nlobrara , Neb. It Is hoped that all
the. regular regiments will bo away from
Montauk by the end of the week.
Mayor Moores was somewhat taken aback
by the news , because he Is so busy with con
tentions and other public work this week
that he does not see. how he can take the
Initiative In receiving thn soldiers , and yet
ho Is determined that a proper reception to
them should be given by the city. He said
"The people of Omaha certainly must bo
prepared to do the right thing by those sol
diers. They were at Santiago and lost most
of tholr officers. After such a record they
must surely bo given a royal reception.
Some plan must be outlined as soon as we
learn o\er what road they come , when they
arrive and whether or not they will pass
through this city. After all they have gone
through , probably a good big dinner would
be about what they would most want. "
It was announced at army headquarters
jcsterday that Port Crook would be
put In shape for the Twenty-second at once.
The next four or five days will be spent In
preparing for the reception of the regulars.

Karl Wclnheber , cook of the Nethorlaml
steamship Andalusia , writes to a German
paper the following Interesting account of
what he saw and learned In the short time
spent as cook on Devil's Island , where
Dreyfus Is Imprisoned
Our ship , the Netberland steamship An
dalusia , was anchored oft Devil's Island on
April 1 after a visit to Cayenne , when
were were hailed from shore. At the same
time a small boat put oft , manned by sol-
dlors They came alongside to ask the cap
tain for the loan of a cook whllo the An
dalusia was waiting for freight. The cook
of the little garrison had broken his arm ,
they said , nnd our cook was to leach one
of the men , so that he might be able to
attend to the kitchen until another was sent
by the commander.
The captain sent me to the island and
while busy In the little kitchen Instructing
n soldier in the m > stories of broiling lamb
chops and cooking pork I had plenty of op
portunity to question Captain Oreyfus's
guards. The men , who had at first seemed
disinclined to speak , became quite loqua
clous after awhile. "He" was not so 111
treated as thee In the world seem to think
"he" is not confined ; "he" can go every
where on the Island. Of course , two men
are always at his heels. "He" gets up be
tween 0 and 7 in the morning and his first
breakfast consists of a cup of chocolate.
If the weather is good "ho" goes for a walk
soon afterward and winds up his promcnad
by a bath.
"But are you not afraid he might swim
away or commit suicide ? " I said.
"Not at all , " said the soldiers , "for a
rope is fastened to both his wrists and the
ends of the rope arc In the hands of the
guard. After the bath he takes his second
breakfast butter , bread , ham or eggs and a
bottle of beer. Then he goes In for study
Ho reads and writes for several hours. "
'What kind of Looks has he got ? " The
soldlero looked at each other. After awhll
one of them said1 "He Is only allowed tc
read technical works. But he can write
whatever ho pleases. He Is now writing an
account of his life. "
Must he show you what he writes' "
"No ; we read only the letters he deslrei
to have forwarded. These are sent to th
commander In Cayenne "
'And ' does the commander send them of
as received' "
"No ; they are copied and Iho orlghials ar
retained at Ca > enne"
"What does he do besides reading an
writing ? "
"Two weeks ago we received permlsslo
from the commander to play cards with th
prisoner and he has berome an Invotcrat
, Banyfler since. After dinner he has alwaj
, souj > , a roast and dessert about 2 o'cloc
In the afternoon wo always play baccara
together"
"What are the stakes' "
The soldier laughed. "He has not got u. .
sou nnd there are probably not three francs |
on the whole Island. Wo plav for ? h ls. !
The nrlBoner cets his supper at t In the
evening roast or ham and a bottle of beer.
Soon afterward he goes to bed. He Is not
allowed .o have Isltt. jou Know. Only the
guard at the door keeps up a vvoo-1 fire. Ho
sajs the houra from 7 to 10 are his worst.
Ho cannot go to sleep before 10 o'clock and
the irnard Is not allowed to answer any
questions ho mav put In the day time we
, may talk to him , but only on the moat '
trifling subjects , the weather , his health 1
and the like. Our own country Is not to bo
mentioned. "
"Is he allowed to smoke ? "
"No ; that Is , I think ho Is not , for the
, commander does not furnish hlrn tobacco. "
"May I leave fame cigars for him ? "
The soldier did not answer. I emptied
my tobacco : > ouch and my cigar case on the
table. I hope ho got what I left for him.
As I was about to return to my ship I
saw n mm , followed by tvso soldiers , approaching
preaching from the strand. Dreyfus ! Ho
seemed to have heard of my presence and
n"measured mo with questioning looks. Ills
lips moved , but he did not f.ncak. Ho Is a
middle-sized man , cadaverous and of a yel
low complexion. His eyes are deep In their
sockets ; he walks with a stoop and hi *
forehead Is furrowed. He Is growing old
rapidly , no doubt ,
I Dreyfus whispered with bis guard and ,
, vhcn ! the latter had. nodded assent , walked
up to me nnd shook me by the hand ,
'Hrlng my good wishes to the wide world. "
"ITl
fticn ho walked slowly tunnrd his but ,
wl he temalnccl stanllng at the dour ,
vnvlng his hand as my boat dashed 1:1.0
then billows. Halt an hour Inter wo , vrre
on our way home.

Of course , jou'vo got her cornered and
he's got to get away somehow. But I must

She had been thinking whllo he talked
nd she remarked
"Suppose vve fix It this way She wan on

"Now , there's some sense to that "

Stilton of the I nlon.
The tctal length of the Philippine group ,
from the northernmost point of Luzon to the
southern extremity of Mindanao , Is about
950 miles , or fifty miles lees than the dis
tance from the northern boundary of New
York to the southern point of South Caro-
Una. The Philippines have never been thor
oughly surveyed or e..plored , and consequently
quently the estimates of the total area of
the several hundred Islands of the group
have differed widely. The most trust
worthy calculations fix this total area to be
between 114,300 nnd 115fiOO square mllc.s , an
extent of territory equal to the combined
aieas of the states of New York , New Jer
sey , PennBlvanla and Mars land. The larg
est of the Philippine islands , Luzon , upon
which Manila I" ' " 2cJ , has an area of
40S7"i square miles , being thus of almost
exactly the pame size an the state Virginia ,
and over 8,000 square miles smaller than
New- York state. In length , Luzon extends
for about 475 miles , and would reach from
a point slightly north of the northern boun
dary of New York almost to the mouth of
the Potomac river.
Mindanao , the next largest of the Islands ,
has an area of . .7,250 square miles. It would
require the combined territory of West
Virginia and Maryland to equal the island
tn size. Mindanao extends nearly 300 miles
from north to south , or , In comparison with
the part of the map upon which It Is super
imposed , It would reach from the mouth of
the Roanoke river , In North Carolina , to
Charleston , S C Projecting from Its west
ern coast Mindanao has a long , Irregular
peninsula , which makes the extreme width
of the Island something over 300 miles.
The two smaller Islands of Mlndoro and
Panay , upon the latter of which is the port
of Hello , are each over 4,000 square miles
In area. Together they equal In size the
elate , of New Jersey. Samar Island , south
east of Luzon , covers 7,000 square miles
There are estimated to bo about 1,200
Islands In the Philippine group , though any
accurate statement Is Impossible. Prob
ably not more than one-third of these are
Inhabited.
