We Must Hold Them.
From the New York Journal Of Commerce III

From the New York Journal of Commerce dndJ.
For purposes of protection it Is indis-
pensable that we be equipped with naval
base in the Pacific That necessity is OPP
portunely met by our control of the Phillip
pine Islands; and we are bound to see to
1t that this vitality needed acquisition. is
not allowed to slip from our hands. So
large an extent of territory may not be
needful for defensive purposes, but we
cannot attempt to divide it without invit-
ing serious international quarrels. We
therefore must hold the whole, sharing
when and so far as it may be safely done,
political power with the inhabitants.

much better than that we got on ship
board. We get either fresh beef or
canned salmon every other day, with
rice or potatoes ,and punk-bread that
would make a good solid foundation for
q house, and better foundation for
stomach trouble. While am speaking
about sickness may say that it is in
creasing at a surprisingly rapid rate.
There are nearly 1000 men in the field
hospital; small pox patients are going
there at the rate of about one per day,
and while l am sitting here can count
nearly Is boys of my own company
that are pretty sick. The climate takes
the life right out of fellow and it
takes an awful amount of exertion to
get up ambition to do anything at all.
We have to be up by S o'clock in the
morning and we drill from $50 to s
a. m. We can get pass every day,
either in the forenoon, afternoon or
evening, except when on guard. This
morning % men of my own company
are on sick report. No one is feeling
very we'll. We must be taken into lees
crowded guar ters or good bye lads, but
1 think they will thin US out some other
way. You can judge how we are
quarted from the fact that there are
over 35 of our company are in room
"a feet square. My partner, Pat Nancy,
another, and myself, sleep right in the
center Of the room.
AS for the country in general, don't
like it, and don't want to stay here any
longer than I have to. The city Of
Manila is quite an old city, as can be
seen from every side old tumpled down
stone walls and houses. The streets
are very narrow; the main business
streets are only about as wide as the
two side walks on Mitchell Main street,
and the other streets are from 6 to Is
feet wide. ALI buildings are of stone
except some of the native houses, these
are of bam boo sides and thatched roofs
of grasses Manila hemp).
ALI other houses have kind of things
on them for shingles, just like 6-inch
ticking cut in pieces and turned with
the cut side down and Tapped oyer each
other like shingles. There are some
good carriages in town, but the most
are small two.wheeled rigs, old and
delapidated. They are covered like
cabs. The reason that there are SO
30 many two wheeled rigs is that there
is tax of ST. 90 q month per wheel.
Yours truly,

GETTING SHY OF ROOM.

Another Department Created in the
schools to Accommodate Scholars.
The board of education met Saturday
evening and one of the pressing ques-
tions placed before them was the need
of new department in the city schools,
the reason for which was the over
crowded condition Of two or three de-
partments, the teachers being unable
to do justice to the scholars in their
charge. The matter was presented by
Superintendent Quigley and his sug-
gestions were adopted by the board.
Pupils will be taken from these two or
three departments and placed in the
room just established. Miss Alice Saul
was elected as the teacher for that de.
partment, and was engaged for the
balance OF the school year, as there il
no indication that the conditions viii
be any different during the year. 1t il
presumed that the new room will be
opened next Monday.

A SAD CASE OF DROWNING.
Harry Smith Was Drowned In Firestee
Creek Sunday Afternoon.

Harry Smith Was Drowned In Firesteel
Creek Sunday Afternoon.
A very sad case of drowning occurred
q few miles north and east of town Sun
day noon, the victim the waters claim
ing for it's own being the sixteen-year-
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Smith.
The circumstances leading up to the
unfortunate death of the young boy are
about as follows, as near as could be
ascertained. he has been working for
Gu. Miller, just east of town, and it has
been his duty to take the cattle down to
Firesteel creek, which flows just west
OF Mr.. Miller's farm, to water. Harry
started on his mission Sunday just be-
fore noon, while Mr.. Miller and wife
had gone to church. He took with him 4
gun and ak, the latter to be used in
cutting away the ice on the shore of
the creek to give the animals chance
to drink. His further movements
are along the lines of presump'
tion, and 1t is supposed that after
cutting away the ice on the shore he
walked out into the middle of the
creek and walked under the bridge
At this point the ice was very thin snd
he fell into the creek, the water al
this point being about ten feet deep

People in the Country Who Buy Goods of

A month ago several travelling sales
men were doing Dawson county for
the grocery houses located in st.
Paul, Omaha and other cities and sold
groceries and other supplies to the far
mers. One of the farmers who made q
purchase in this way said he came tc
town after receiving his goods, and
laid the same list before the grocer,
and asked him to duplicate the list. He
did 80 and the farmer would have saved
little over dollar on the bill, not
counting the freight. These same
agents were in Aurora county and of
their work there the Plankinton Her.
aid say:
The representatives of the so-called
Omaha grocery house have been with
us the past week delivering the goods
time since. The Herald has yet failed
to find single farmer who purchased
from these people who will admit that
he secured better bargain than he
could have got right here at home,
while many admit that they have been
'taken in" II. G.. Lewis weighed the
two pounds of tea purchased by him
and found but one pound nine and one
half ounces of tea-the box, wrapping
and all weighed two pounds, and now
he figures that the tea cost him about
81 10 per pound and no better than the
so cent tea sold by our home merchants.
This tramp outfit has made many
friends, for the home merchants, who
will think twice before they again deal
with gang of travelling "dagos."
The home merchant contributes in
taxes to the support of the county, the
outside merchant does not; the home
merchant will trust you when time are
hard, the outside merchant makes you
pay cash on delivery; the home mer-
chant assists in the building up of q
community, its schools, its enterprises
of all kinds, the outside merchant
doest care continental how you gel
along, only that he may sell you goods
This does not apply solely to farmers
but good many people right in Mitch
ell can take this home to themselves. Il
hurts a town beyond compare for this
support contributed to outside mer
chants, and the sooner it Is discontin
ued the better off the business men an6
the community will will be.

A very pretty wedding occurred at
8 O'Clock Tuesday when Miss Eliza
beth Gormley, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. James Gormley, was united in
marriage to Mr.. John Grady, of Ha-
warden, Iowa. When the bridal party
entered the church Miss Belle Koch
played wedding march and the
family marched up the aisle followed
by the groom and his brother and the
bride and her sister. At the altar
Father Hogan met the couple and dur
ing Mass united them in marriage.
Miss Mary Gormely acted as brides
maid and the best man was James
Grady. The bride was handsomely
costumed in white brocaded elk and
she carried large bouquet of chrysan-
themums. The bridesmaid wore q
dress of white cashmere. Around the
altar were placed number of chrsy-
anthemums for decorations and the
scene was indeed pretty one.
At the close of the ceremony the
bridal party returned to the home OF
Mr.. Gormley, where a wedding break
fast was served to the members of the
family. Mr.. and Mrs. Grady took the
II o'clock Milwaukee passenger for
their home at Hawarden, where Mr..
Grady is engaged in the drug business.
At the train number OF their friends
gathered and showered them with rice
and the usual accompaniment of an old
shoe for good luck. The bride is well
known in Mitchell, but for several
years has made her home in Hawarden.
Her many friends will extend congratu-
lations to herself and husband in which

\ RICH ENTERTAINMENT

Elias Day, the Characterize, Pioases q
Magnificent Audience at the Grand.
The first entertainment OF Manager
Gales lecture and concert course,
which he has arranged for the season,
was given at the Grand opera house
Tuesday evening, when Elias Day, the
characterist, made his initial appear
ance in Mitchell. While there were
come misgivings that one person could
hold the attention of An audience,
particularly in characterization, they
were all dispelled when Mr.. Day gave
his last number. He opened with q
dissertation on the art and science of
story telling in which he illustrated his
points with we'll told stories. His
characterizations were all thoroughly
portrayed and one would hardly think
it the same person. Mr.. Day introduce
ed q novelty by changing the facial ex-
preston for each character in view of
the audience and it was remarkable
what a complete transformation would
ensue in so short time. Probably the
best impersonation was that of the
German gentleman at the banquet
who responded to toast. The Hoosier
farmer was also we'll dong and the i'm
personation of the Polish pianist was q
perfect gem. Mr.. Day does everything
SO cleverly and genteel that an au-
dience is really sorry to part him.
There are six more entertainments
in the course and there is not one of
them but what will be as thoroughly
satisfactory as the first. Holders of
course tickets certainly have very
pleasant winters amusement in store
for them.
