cheap.
The Private Secretary ut the opera
house next Monday night should have
II good audience If the people expect to

O. M. Jameson says he has bought
his spring stock this year at such q

be nowhere and competitors will not be
in the ring.
The Mower Co. is still on deck, and

too old now to take a paper or he would
subscribe for one.

OF Dallas, Texas, has been elected
President Of the Texas Colorado Cha
tauqua, a summer school for teachers.

has been appointed to select the loca-
tion for tho school.
An exchange says: "The man who
went out to milk and sat on stump in
the middle of the pasture and waited
for the cow to back up to him was the
elder brother of the man who kept Il
store und didn't advertise because lie
believed the purchasing public would
back up to his place when they wanted
anything"

dear old friend, that Governor Ellert o

l..
One among all others,
Well deserves the name of praise,
And il he Is elected Governor again,
You need not be amazed.
But say, bud, do you remember what
solemn vows yoa made when you joined
+ ght hands with Mrs. Kay? Don't
y,u remember when you PROMISE, to
eve and comfort her and be fai, ,ful
Christian husband unto her in prosl ,ori-
ty and IN adversely, forsaking all others
aad cleaving unto her so long as ,ou
b. tn should live? Yes, know that you
~ member those sacred VOWS. " ell,
tt on, do you think that you are doing
ri .ht when you pinch those little Hays
and make them yell and kick in order
to throw the whole burden upon Mrs.
Kay? Como now, old boy, "tote" fair,
you know that you've got good wife.
And my "Solomon" pronounces that it
is one of the scvcn wonders of tho
world how she has been fooled. Broth
er, didn't mean to say that was try
ing to sleep and laugh. | tried to say
sleep and cough, but you know that
those type settlers and proof readers
won't let fellow say what he intends
to say every time. But wo must say
that they are exceptionally good in
The Herald and News Office. But say,
Kay, didn't the editor of The Herald
and News get square down on the Ge-
ia Is Of tho Riser case? He was slow
in taking hold, but when he did ta &c
held he made clean sweep.
Right in the face Of one OF the g.
ge burglar trials that has ever &C.
GU red in our county to our knowled. c,
on community has witnessed SINH AZ
case. On Saturday, tho 18th, Nr.
III os. Fellers went to Ncwberry. Nj s.
Fe .lers, shortly after dinner, locked Up
he house and went over to see her SIS
tel -in-law, Mrs. Ira Fcllers, who lives
on v about q fourth of u milo. Mrs.
Fe lers, as people very often do in the
country, when she locked her house hid
tho key under the water bucket on the
pic zza, but circumstances show that
sol le thieving scamp was watching her
ans after she was gone went to the
house, got the key, unlocked the door
ant began to search, rs it is supposed,
for money. He opened some trunks
ant removed the contents, but failing
to md any money he then broke mo
tho dining room, took about 25 poun Is
OF our, some bacon and lard, also sorlc
dri ID fruit, box OF baking powder,

roc II, which it is supposed he forgot,
bel ,g in hurry. Then he locked the
no, sc and put the key back where he
fou ID it. Up to this writing there has
bee no clue as to the guilty scamp. If
the G is not something done to put Il

Seaman Pefrte Lafe Of inc Flagship
 Olympia in Phoenix

Ordinary Seaman Berie Petrie, late of Admiral Dewey's flagship, the Olympia, is recent arrival at the Vel come house, Second and Madison streets. He participated in the battle in Manila bay and was discharged last July at the expiration of the three years period of enlistment on account Of i'll health. Otherwise, un- der the rules of the depart ment he could not have been discharged during the war or until the expiration Of five years. He left Ma nila cn the City of P5kin, July 30. Arriving at San Francisco, he went to the springs at Paso Robles, where he remained until a week ago.
 His illness, rheumatism and hem or rhage from the lungs, is the result Of cverwcrk and exposure on the morning of May 1, the date Of the battle, and the preceding twenty-four hours. At o'clock in the morning af5sr hours of extraordinary labor in clsaring the ves- sels for action, the saamen were d. lowed to lie beside their guns until daybTeak. Seaman Petria lay in the draft between two ports and has not been a well man since. He took part that day in the destruction of Montojo's fleet and attached to 2 rapid fire battery assisted in the carnage by dis charging fcrty shots from a six pouod- CT. He relates some incidents of the great battle which have not yet been published Admiral Dewey sailed from Mayes bay, twenty-nine miles from Hong Kong on April 27. The flset moved at only a six-knot speed in order to keep the fieat together, fer that WAS the limit of the little Pstrel's perform ance. Preparation for battle was be- gun on Saturday morning. The feet entered the mouth of Manila bay 2 o'clock on Sunday morning. It passed the forts at and was fired upon. At the same time the nearest vessels oi the Spanish fleet opened fire. The americans kept cn their way without reply and completing their line at ex- actly ten minutes past 1va, he.l broke loose.
 The first Of the Spanish vessels to go down was the old wooden Castillo the worst of the lot. The other cruisers, Seaman Petrie says, we're equal in class and armament to the American vessels. They lacked Cnly the men behind the guns. When the las cruiser was destroyed 2 little after 8 o'clock. Admiral Dewey retired. Than was witnessed g splendid instance Of Spanish bravery. The flagship, the Reina Christina, was on fire and plain Iy docmed, yet a gun crew On her kept firing at the Americans until they had withdrawn from range. The firing was silenced only by the flames Of the burning ship. Contrary to reports of the engagement this is the only naval battle that occurred. There vas ne

ting of the cable. It was not done by | Dewey to cut eff communication with Washington. On Sunday afternoon he asked permission of the Spanish au-
 thOrities to use it. His request was denied, and he sent word back that
 neither should they use it. He sent a small vessel to pick it up. It was
 found after a fifteen minute search at
 the entrance of the bay. The Spanish fthe next day cut the land cable them
 selves. Seaman Petrie, as well as all other members of the Manila fleet, be- lieves that Dewey is the greatest ad- miral of his time They love him not only for his success, but also fer his consideration and kindness. He ex- acts less formal respect than any high cffcer of his navy. When he finds members Of u p ships Grew lying on the deck after hard days work and they begin to rise to come to atten- tion he signals or orders them to dis pense with 8, needless formality re- quiring even a slight additional eX- ertion. The news Of the coming of Camara's fleet aroused no alarm in the American fleet. Confidence had besn gained and then it was known that the Monterey and Monadnock would be there. So it was with dis

 MT Petrie frequently saw Aguinaldo, whom he describes as Q, young man ct fine appearance, great shrewdness and finished education. In MT.

were killed in battle and 360,000 per- ished in camps and prisons. From off, cial figures which 1 have recently com pleted, covering 6. pericd from May 1 to Septem Der 90, I find that the total number of deaths as result of the war with Spain was 2,906. Of this number I107 were officers. At Santiago the loss Of life was twenty-two officers and 222 men. This is an average of one off, cer fer every ten men. At Cardenas one officer was killed. Since the bat Les on Cuban soil siXty-one men have died of wounds received in service.
 The total number of American SOL diers that have died in camps from disease is eighty officers and 2,520 pri- yates, or an aggregate Of 2,600. This IS remarkable in view Of the terrible eli matte disadvantages, and it fully veri- fies the soldiers adage that disease kills rlcTe men than bullets.
 ."There hava been 500 cla ms for pen sions filed to date as result of the war
 "In the Cuban campaign the less of so many officers is accounted for by the fact toat Spanish sharpshooters hid in the trees and dense foliage, used smokeIess powder and picked eff the officers with ease. Some Of the wounds received by officers were remarkable. l recall cne case in particular-that of Captain Knox Of the First cavalry. The captain was shot in the back The ball penetrated his. kidney, liver and lung and broke two Cf his ribs. He is alive to-day and the president has promoted him.
 Commissioner Evans says that the loss Of life resulting from the destruc- ticn of the Maine in Havana harbor will be placed on the same basis as mortality in battle. He holds that the general law providing for indemnity tC sailors and soldiers in the federal service will apply to the explosion at Havana.
 ''Thus far only fifty-nine claims have been presented from relatives of the boys who went down with the Maine, said the commissioner. Every one of them will be pushed through. It is no more than right that the dependents of the men who went to watery graves in Havana bay should be provided for by the United States guvernmaut.' 1
