and Indicated that they would have
done SO had they not been afraid

According to advance of con-
sular report made by ~ Spencer
Pratt, j. ), CONSUL 4eru ar
Singapore, there are extensive
deposits OF excellent coal in the
Philippines. Mines are being
worked near the city Of Cebu, from
which English steamers have been
coaled, and from which there is
railroad to the sea. Admiral
Dewey's fleet will probably test
the quality Of this coal shortly.
If the Spainar>ls could visit the
bureau officers Of the Navy Depart
ment directly responsible for get
ting Commodore Watson's fleet
in proper condition to start upon
it's long voyage to attack the cities
on the Spanish coast, they would
no longer believe, as the cable re-
ports them, that the order for the
departure Of this fleet was bluff.
Whatever they may believe now,
in about three Commodore Wat
sons heavy guns will convince the
Spanlards that war, in the most
horrible aspect in right at their
doors. President Mckinley meant
business when issued the order to
Commodore Watson, and nothing
short of an abject surrender on the
part Of Spain will prevent the Or
der being carried out to the letter.
The fight against Hawaiian an
nexation has been daily weakening
in the Senate. The auti's have
discovered that the majority were
put for blood and willing to re-
main in Washington just as long
as the anti's choose to keep up
their speech-making against an
nexation, and that under no cir
cumstances would Congress be al
lowed to adjourn until the annexa-
ton resolution had been voted
upon. Some of the democratic
Senators who had been counted
upon to aid in filibustering haye
heard from their constituents, aid
have announced that they would
take no part delaying vote after
the legitimate speech-making is
over. An agreement to vote may
be reached any day, and tie gen
eral opinion is that the resolution
will be adapted before the close of
next week. Congress will adjourn
sooD after the resolution is adopt
ed.
The Senate never did a more
praiseworthy thing than when on
motion of Senator Hoar, it added
the names of seven brave volun-
teers who accomplished Lieut..
Hobson and helped to sink the
Merrimac to the bill extending the
thanks Of Congress to the heroes
Of the daring exploit.

Aspirants fot county officers are

Aspirants fot county officers are
commencing to size up their
chances for nomination. It is
said one young man has been look
ing over the court house to see
what office he wants, but none Of
the present incumbents are any
ways alarmed at being superseded
by him this fall, as it will require
more work than peddling tickets
in convention to secure nom
nation after the office is selected.

Capt. Van SAINT made a speech
in the, Republican state cenven-
ton after Mr.. Eustis was nominal
ed, which displayed his excellent
trait of character and manhood.
His words contained no sting OF
bitterness or animosity toward his
opponent and supporters, but as
he did in the last campaign, he
signifed his intention of earnestly
working to aid and secure the sue
cess of the party to which he be-
longed. His declarations won fo1
him many new friends and
strengthened the old ones, in the
belief that he was man worthy
of the honor bestowed upon anoth-
ar.

Hints on Advertising.

There are two principal factors
which make an advertising medium
valuable. One, and possibly the
most important, is the character Of
the paper itself. The best paper will
invariably reach the best people. II
will enter the homes Of those who
have the most money to spend. II
has their confidence, and any an
aouncements appearing ID it will
have greater attention paid them
than those which appear in a paper
Of which for other reasons they do
not approve. j. &
The other thing which goes tc
make up profitable advertising
medium is it's circulation. When an
advertiser can obtain access to the
columns of a newspaper which enjoys
in the highest measure public conf.
dence and at the same time has the
largest circulation, he has secured
the very best advertising medium
obtainable. s,..'ssa,
Another thing. A large advertise;
ment in the best paper is moro at
tractive than smaller ono. Wher
an advertiser is convinced that hs ha.
secured the paper of largest circula
ton among the people he wants K
reach, it will pay him better to max.
his announcements in that paper il
ample form than to contract his space
in order to have money to spend OF
other journals which he knows doe'
not reach all the people he wishes tt
attract. In other words it will pay
better to advertise largely and syste
matically'in the best paper than K
spread the advertising out thin in al
attempt to patronize every papel
published .-Owatonna Journal.
