gard To the Temple.

reporter for a more explicit definition
of her position on the Chicago Temple
matter and the Lady Somerset contro-
versy than appeared from her remarks

gained health should be used in efforts
10 raise the money to pay interest on
the bonds that has always been kept up
until this year and to secure funds
whereby the 100000 worth Of temple
trust bonds can be retired. While it is
true they had no legal responsibility
whatever, the bonds having been put
forth by Mrs. Carse, the white ribbon
women have a moral responsibility and
/ propose to do my utmost to see those
bonds paid in full. One hundred thou
sand dollars has already been secured
Of the 100000 necessary and 1 believe
the good people of this country will re-
spond to my call. I do not propose TO
lay this burden upon the local unions
but 10 make an appeal to the Christian
and phlanthropic public"
Miss Willard added that she did not

of on Sept. 13, when they were solidly
embedded in a mass of ice cakes along
the shore off Port Barrows. The crews

provisions as they had. There is hope
that they may be able to secure sufil-
cheney of food at Point Barrows. as

SOUTH DAKOTA AUDITOR HELD.
Bound over for Trial a Charge of
Embezzlement.

Pierre, S. D., Nov. 1.-The auditor or
the state of South Dakota was bound
over for trial on the charge of embez-
element. Justice jacobson overruled
the motion Of the defense to dismiss the
case and the defense consumed the
greater portion Of the day by putting
Auditor Mayhem on the stand in his
own defense. His explanations for not
complying with the law in regard to
making settlements did not impress the
magistrate, apparently for after ex-
haustive arguments he bound Mr.. May
hew over, fixing his bail at $500.
The case of the state against G. II.
Anderson will be taken up. The prose-
cution seems confident of its case. and
If il makes a good showing Anderson
will also undoubtedly be bound over.
Should the justice not hold him upon this
charge ne will undoubtedly be arrested
upon the charge of falsifying official
records

Havana, Nov. Marshal Blanco, the

the island from General Weyler. the
retiring captain general.
Captain General Weyler just prior to
his embarkation for Spain addressed the
assembled crowds gathered in his honor
In the course of his acknowledgements
of their sympathetic references to his
approaching withdrawal" he said that
he fully understood their praise was for
his policy and not for himself. He de-
clared that he had always done his duty
in accordance with his sense of patriot
ism, and that he would leave Cuba with
a serene conscience" He had never
cared, he said, for the criticism or the
sympathiZers of the rebellion, because
he had always felt assured of the real
kindness and wisdom of his policy" lie
said his temporary prohibition in con-
necticn with the last sugar crop was
only intended to prevent the rebels from
raising loan in the United States. He
had always been in favor of grinding
as was afterwards done. So far as the
order Of concentration was concerned.

I cal leader would be strong enough to

The Electric Road Again.

A Benton Harbor special to the Kal.
amazoo Telegraph says;
The talk that Benton HarbOr and
Kalamazoo may be connected by a
direct railway line seems to be taking
some definite form.
"Rumors have been thick for the last
few months, but they have usually been
vague and have been characterized as
visionary castles in Spain
"Now, however, it is announced that
the supposed electric railway from this
city will eventually, and in the near
future, be extended to the celery city.
"As the information comes from per-
sons connected with the new road, it is
presumably with authority.
"The plan proposed is said to be that
the road will be built rs rapidly as pos
sble from Benton Harbor to Sister
Lakes, a summer resort near Dowagiac,
to Paw Paw and thence TO Kalamazoo,
whence the road will be extended east,
but in what direction is not given out.
1T is also said that the road will pot
be an electric road at all but standard
gauge steam road. This raises the
question whether the line is not the
proposed extension of the Chicago,
Kalamazoo d Saginaw which has been
talked about.
LAS is we'll known, work on the road
has been in Progress for some time and
the tunEel near this city is well on
toward completion. 1t is said that sur
veys have been made for the line clear
to Kalamazoo"
