The people Of Devils Lake al

The people Of Devils Lake are
unanimous in the belief that the most
severe punishment permitted by law
should be melted out to the men who
participated in the assault committed
upon the representative of the Enforce.
ment League Saturday evening. Such
lawlessness will not be permitted in
this community for a single minute
and the fact that the city and county
authorities have jointly offered a
reward for the arrest Of the three
ruf1ans who are still at large shows
conclusively how the people here feel
about the matter. The officers of the
law, both city and county, are doing
everything in their power to bring the
guilty parties to justice and they are
backed in their efforts by the united
sentiment of the business community,
1t was a most villainous and dastardly
affair from beginning to end and
deserves the severest punishment.

On Board the Oregon.

Chester Klingel, son of Presiding
Elder k!ingel, who is now on board the
battleship Oregon, writes his mother
as follows:
On the deep sea, Sunday, May 90
Dear Mother: I received your letter
of the l4th. l wrote you as soon as we
arrived in Key West.
! will tell you something about my
trip from Frisco to Key West. When
we left Frisco we went direct to Cal
lao, Peru, in sixteen days. That was
faster than any other vessel in the
world ever made it. On entering
Callao we fired twenty-one guns, which
was returned by the fort. AS soon as
we dropped anchor we started to coal
ship. We took on HOO tons of coal
and made Sandy Point in the Strait of
Magellan in ten more days. From there
we went to Rio Janerio and took
more coal. Rio has q beautiful harbor.
I liked it very much.
l want to say right here I like the
navy. They are not half as strict as
people on the outside think. From
Rio we made Bahia in three DAYS.
From there we went to Barbados, an
English port, and from there to Jupi-
ter, Fla, and then on to Key west.
1t is Sunday afternoon. We have
joined Admiral SIMPSONS fleet. It is
composed of the New York, Mont
gomery, Indiana, Oregon, Terror, Puri-
tan, Ampithrite, Cincinnati, Machias.
and the torpedo boats Dupont. Porter,
Ranger and several yachts and trans.
ports.
We are laying off Havana about
twenty miles. EARLY in the morning
about daybreak we expect to lombard
either Havana or Mantanzas. At least
we will be in action before tomorrow
night. But we are safe. The Oregon
is the pride of the navy today. She is
a sister ship to the Indiana and Massa-
chusetts. Her speed is sixteen knots
She carries four 13-inch guns, eight g.
inch, four 6-inch. twenty 6-pounders,
six l-pounders, six machine guns, and
six torpedo shutes.
l will have to say good bye to all.
Your son,
G. G. KLINGEL.

Beats the Klondike,

Mr.. A. G. Thomas, of Maysville, Tex,
has found a more valuable discovery
than has yet been made in the Klon-
dixie. For years he suffered untold
agony from consumption, accompanied
by hemorrhages; and was absolutely
cured by DR.. Kings New Discovery for
consumption, coughs and colds. He
declares that gold is of little value in
comparison with this marvellous cure:
would have it, even if it cost hundred
dollars a bottle. Asthma, bronchitis
and all throat and lung affections are
positively cured by DR.. Kings New
Discovery for consumption. Trial

SENsIRIE FARMERS.

We learn from Georgia exchange that
the farmers of Pulaski county, believing
that before the war IS over grain, meat
and other farm products will be greatly
advanced in price. are converting large
portions OF their lands originally intended
by them for cotton fields. into corn, oats.
peanuts and other food produce, and are
making renewed preparations FOR rails
ng q large supply Of meat. A numocr
OF farmers, it IS added have gone so far
as 10 pillow up several acres Of cotton al
ready planted and to SOW 1t in corn.
Sensible farmers. these. The farmer
who shall have corn and meat TO sell
during the present year will. in our
opinion. line his pocket with greenbacks.
But whether so or not, the farmer who
makes his supplies at home can Se sure
that he will be provided for during the
war. that he will not be plnched by
hunger and that sort OF assurance at a
time like this Is most comfortable.
We commend to the farmers in Viz
gin!a the sensible course OF these farmers
in Georgia.

THE WAR AND BUSINESS.
The South's Material Progress VIII
Not be Permanently Retarded.

BALTIMORE. April -Special-Fol-
lowing tile first wave OF excitement at
the actual beginning Of war, there IS Il
pronounced feeling that while IL IS the
duty OF the American people 10 DO all
within their power for It's speedy ana
satisfactory termination. efforts IN that
direction should not produce the slightest
dlminuition in the energies which con-
tribute to the cOuntry's material pro-
gress. In this the South has opportunity
for the display Of a magnificent example
for the rest of the country. As demon
strating this the Manufacturers Record
says:
There will Be felt most acutely the
temporary interference with commerce
and the consequent interruption OF de-
pendent trade. the effects in the business
circles of alarms at seaports. and in the
mass Of excitement about actual news
and wild rumors and the possible dis
inclination of capital 10 make new ven
lures.
THAT the South will meet the first de-
mand has already been demonstrated IN
the alacity with which the militia or the
several States and men not in the ranks
have volunteered their services for the
war. That the second emergency be met
with equal prOmptness ana raced with
unwavering purpose Is an imperative
duty, and a duty with pleasant pros
pect.
IN the first place. the menace 10 COM
merce because Of the proximity OF hos
iilities IS discounted by the fact that It's
carriers are principally under the hags
OF nOn-partcpdnts nations. IL and
the coastwlse trade need not suffer as
much from the war as II might from
a yellow fever scare similar TO that OF
last summer. Even should the tempo
rary impeachment be greater than is now
expected, it can not destroy the
natural advantages of location and
quick communication with centres OF
production now enjoyed by Southern
ports. and It were better for port TO
fail for the moment in its efforts to main
tain its growing prestige than to permit
without resistance its logical traffic 10 be
diverted elsewhere.

NEWPORT NEWS, VA, April S.-Spe-
cial-Goyernment work at the ship-yard
continues on the rush, the full shop forces
working night and day, and every effort
IS being made 10 have the recently-con-
yerted cruisers Dixie and Yosemite. ready

There is no doubt but that both Of the
vessels will be ready to be turned over
10 the Government by this time, II no
armor-plating is placed on the ships, ana
&c is probable that time will not be- taken
for this, although the material has been
ordered and IS now on the way here.
IL was learned tonight that should II
be necessary, the ship-yard can have the
battleships Kentucky and kearsarge
ready TO begin their work Of destruction
within five months and that the ship
yard people would be willing to put on
the extra force necessary TO accomplish
this if the government IS willing 10 pay
the additional cost. which would be en-
tailed by reason Of the large amount OF
overtime which would be made by many
of the men, and besides this the regular
night work would cost more than III the
work were done during the daytime.
There IS no probability Of the Navy De-
partment issuing orders 20 push the bat

Tho description OF the McCulloch cor

boat. All the United States ships and
some OF the Spanish ships have torpedo
tubes.
The superiority Of Commander Dowey's
force is APPARENT from comparison OF
these descriptions. All OF his vessels are
OF steel, while some Of the Spanish boats
are OF wood. In size, speed. protection
and armament all the United States yes
sells are superior 10 those OF Spain. The
Spanish batteries are very good, but the
best do not compare with those of the
larger American ships. Naval officers arc
afraid the Spanish commander will not en-
ter into an enga cement with tho Ameri-
can squadron. In that event the capture
Of Manila will be an easy task. for the
old guns on its defcnccs are no match for
the modern rifles OF the Olympia and
some OF the larger vessels.
The general understanding is that Com
mander Dewey will act in conjunction
with large force Of Philippine insur-
gents, who will attack Manila from the
land side. while his ships pour their
shot into the town from the sea. II Is
