Net expense to County. s., s87.9S sll5S.47
The difference between $780, S
and sl.l56.47 is s7ll.51 and s7ll.5 is a
little more than 80 per cent OF 81, 1867.
SO. In other words Geo. A. Stewart
ran the poor farm for s7ll.51 or 80 per
cent. less in 1894 than Willis T. Reed
did in 1892. Now, Mr.. Farmer. in
which year, 1892 or 1894, would you
have expected the best results from
the poor farm? Certainly they ought
to have been better 10 1892.
Why were they not? We violate no
confidence In giving the explanation
Of Lyman Naugle, e litOr of the Voice,
to-wit: The dishonesty and rascllity
Of Willis T. Reed. And right here is
where our "kick' comes in on Naugle.
Take this Reed business as a sample.
He privately admits the rascality of
Reed a. superintendent Of the Door
farm. But, forsooth, because Reed
vas POpnlist official, never a word
has he ever said editorially in con-
demnation OF Reeds acts. He pre-
tends to be reformer; he stretches or
disregards the truth to say something
unfayorable about Republican
official, but is as dumb as an oyster
when one Of his partisans goes wrong.
Hell is chuck full OF such reformers.
On behalf Of the Republican officials
OF Sumner county in 1894 and on be-
half of the people Of Sumner county,
we ask the Voice and its echo, the
Monitor-Press, to point out where the
extravagant methods Of the Republi.
can administration increased the ex.
penses Of caring for the poor and in
sane in 1894.

Manner in which an Italian Mayor and
Italian Police Run Town -Outrnscs at
Spring Valley.
Princeton, H.. Aug. 6.-The Italian
miners of Spring Valley today made an
attempt to carry out their resolution Of
yesterday to expel all the colored peo-
pie remaining in the city, and the re-
suit was one of the most disgraceful
outrages ever perpatrated In Bureau
county. 1t was done under protection
of the mayor and policemen. Innocent
women and children were driven from
their homes and insulted and their
trunks and belongings dragged about
and despoiled.
During part Of the time Martin Del
margo, the italian mayor, accompanied
by several Italian members Of the po-
lice, was on the grounds watching the
proceedings. Mayor Delmargo said he
was there to see that the negroes got
away peaceably, but If this was his
purpose, he did not accomplish what
he went for. Governor Altgeld has in
terested himself in the matter. This
afternoon Sheriff Clark, of Princeton,
| asking for information on the bject.
He wishes to know what was being
done by the officers Of the law. Sheriff
Clark replied that the authorities in
Spring Valley were doing nothing and
that he had not been called upon by
the mayor for assistance.
AS the Chicago, Burlington and
quincy passenger train entered Spring
Valley the passengers saw a lot Of
negro refugees who had been waiting
anXiously for the train for a few min
utes, board the cars like lot of wild
animals in fear of their pursuers.
The passenger train had Just got ont
OF Spring Valley when the engineer
saw colored girl % years old coming
out OF the woods and running toward
the train. The engineer STONED at
once and took the girl, who had been
chased by several Italians. 1t was some
time before she could compose herself
10 reiate her story. She said that a
crippled relative had started from home
with her, but that he had been shot in
the shoulder, and as he could not move
fast' mad to be left behind by her.
The miners who are under the con-
troll OF the Italians held a secret meet
Ing today, at which 1t was determined
to remain out until the Spring Valley
Coal company will give assurances that
they Will not in the future give employ
ment to negroes, which the company
refuses to do.
The negroes are assembled principal
~ at Seatonville, and received tele-
grams today from members of their
race In Chicago and Peoria that gave
them great encouragement. The pur-
port of these kilograms is to stand firm
and assistance would soon be forthcom-
ing. The negroes during the last few
days have procured number of shot
guns and small arms. and If more can
ba secured they propose to march back
to Spring Valley, occupy their homes
and resume their employment with the
coal company.

VICTORIES FOR INSURGENTS
The Cuban Patriots Are CONSTANT,
Gaining Ground.
COURTESIES OF WARFARE
Insurgents Allow Spanish Troops to Re.
turn to the Field for Their Wounded.
Political Prisoners Released.
A Church burned,

Santiago, De Cuba, July ?S.-After f1f-
teen days of doubt and anxiety con-
cerning the fate of Captain General
Martinez Campos. and the column that
accompanied him from Manzanillo to
Bayamo, and was suddenly attacked by
large force of insurgents on the way,
the captain general himself arrived
here on the night of the Goth inst. on the
Spanish gunboat Cristobal Colum.
Many preparations We're made to re-
ceive him. The captain general, how
ever, did not even come ashore, but,
after passing from the gunboat to the
| steamer Villaverde, he sailed for Ha-
vana yesterday morning. According to
the commonly accepted report the cap
tain general was wounded in the leg in
the battle between Manzanillo and Bay
amo, and was obliged to return on a
litter.
According to a letter received here
yesterday from the late field of action,
the captain general, after taking
refuge with his troops in Bayamo, sent
| a messenger to Antonio Maceo, asking
him to allow Spanish troops to go back
to the battlefield and gather up their
WOuIueu, anu " give "oiu Va
| honor not to molest them. Maceo an
swered in the affirmative, adding that
the Spaniards might not only come to
take away their wounded on the field,
but that they might come and take
away those of their wounded to whom
he himself attended, and accordingly
the Spaniards took all their wounded
to Bayamo.
The Captain General Pleased.
1t Is said here that this action Of
Maceo so much pleased the captain
general that on his return to Manzanil-
10, he set at liberty all the political
prisoners in that city. 1t is said also
that he will do the same with the poll
tical prisoners all over the island, de-
claring, so 1t is said. that this is the
least he can do in return for such noble
conduct on the part Of the rebels.
At present the insurgents are very
| much in movement around Baracoa.
After burning Sabana they burned the
village of Jamal. Before doing so,
however, they removed from the church
of the doomed village all the ecclesiasti-
cal paraphernalia they found there and
stored the articles in a private house.
They declared that they burned the
church only because the Spaniards used
1t as fort. In addition they have had
in the same district several unimpor-
| tant engagements.
A Spanish gunboat arrived here to-
day July 2s) from Baracoa with sealed
orders for the governor. A sailor en-
ployed on the gunboat told the writer
| of this letter that 1t was feared Bara-
Goa would soon be taken by the in
| surgents.
The rebels of this district are concen-
trating their forces around San Luis,
with the object. 1t is said, of taking the
| town.
