MAY NEED THE VOLUNTEERS.

1t looks now as if the many vol
unteer companies throughout the
state will have a chance to serve
Uncle Sam within a short time.
The companies will be recruited up
to the full war footing of one hun
dred members each. This will be
done in order to make up the full
quota of men to be furnished by this
state. A great many members of
the guard will be rejected for vari-
ous reasons. Some are too old and
many others will not be able to pass
the physical examination. These
vacancies will have to be filled by
recruits, and it may be that the
Bloomsbury young men, who are
so desirous of getting in line, will
have an opportunity, not as COM
pany, because it is impossible to
get the number of men required for
a full company, but they will be
taken to fill up.

Edward Leighow, well known
young man of this town, hired horse
of Buckalew Bros. on Saturday even
ing and drove to Millville. He tied
the horse to hitching post in front
of dwelling and went in to make
call. He remained in the house
some little time. When he started
home he discovered that the horse
and carriage was missing. He search
ed about the premises, but could find
no trace of the outfit and was obliged
to foot it home. He learned on So u
that the horse had been left at SprtSte
Run, some few miles above MillvilleS
On Monday morning Leighow and
r. c. Buckalew started for that placs
They found the horse and buggy at

Cox. He stated that it had been
left there during the night sometime,

1t is hard to understand the motive of

They await the decision of the gov
ernor-general before commencing the
bombardment of Manila.
TUESDAY.
The Washington authorities are
still awaiting word from Dewey. They
are inclined to believe however that
the stars and stripes are waving over
the island. They expect to receive
an account of the situation tomorrow
or next day. The cutting of the
cable precludes the positive statement
that Manila has fallen into Dewey's
hands and that the place has surren-
dsred.
General Miles wants 10000 Ameri-
can troops landed in Cuba at once.
He argued that even with the Spanish
squadron possibly on its way to
American waters, there is no reason
why the invasion of the island should
be delayed.
1t is said that the preliminary iuva-
sion of Cuba will begin probably Fri
day. General Miles is now preparing
the order designating the troops to be
ready.
WEDNESDAY.
This has been a day of waiting at
the National Capitol. The news that
the Revenue cutter Mccullough,
which is attached to Commodore
Dewey's fleet, as a dispatch boat had
arrived at Mrs Bay forty miles from
Hong Kong was welcome news. 1t
was expected, therefore, by McKin-
ley that before the day closed Dewey's
official account of the battle off
Manila would be received. But it
has not yet arrived.
Vice President Hobart spent con-
siderable time at the White House to-
day. He said that the President was
in possession of information tending
to show that Manila has surrendered
and that the American flag is float
ing over that city.
1t was rumored at Washington to-
night that Dewey has cabled to the
President he is in possession of Manila
and adds that he will send full details
later.
Sampson has not encountered the
Spanish flotilla as yet, but news of
such an engagement is expected at
any time.
THURSDAY.
There is no war news this morning,
Dewey's report not yet having been
received by the President. SIMPSONS

Several people witnessed a fist
fight at the D. L. & w. Depot on
Saturday noon. A stranger, who
claimed to be Span;ard, on his way
home to fight for his country, became
very insulting in his remarks to an
old man, who, judging from his ap-
pearances was about sixty-five years
of age. The old man stood it for 4
while, but finally, his American blood
began to boil, he could no longer con-
troll his angry passion, and he went at
the foreigner, with all his might, land
ing several severe blows. Our in.

order to escape punishment got down
under seat in the car.

AN INSURANCE MUDDLE

Which Perry Would Lake to Soc Cleared
Up.--Sohooi Fire Losses
Notwithstanding its approval by the
territorial supr me court, the sc col
insurance law will have TO be modified
by the next legislature in order 70
make it satisfactory to the people
The town Of Perry is an instance
where the weak points in the law
became glaringly noticeable.
The law requires that five per cent
Of the actual cash value OF school pro
perty in each county, Is appraised by
board appointed by the coanty su
r,efintendent, shall ho set aside AND
placed in the hands of the territorial
treasurer, as an insurance fund. The
revenue for common schools received
from leasing sections 10 and 80 Is nc
small part OF the money with which
the schools are maintsined.
Perry has fine school buildings Rno
five per cent Of their value amounted
TO as much as the common school funC
due them. One school building 81
Perry, appraised at $500, burned
The school insurance law provides
for the payment Of three fourths OF 1
certified loss. Ia this stance tn,
loss was shown TO be $1,000 aud TIA,
territory was asked TO pay $4,000 In
surance. II happened that the build
ing was insured in regular insurance
company for $500. Auditor Hopkin
refused 10 pay more than the smoun
for which the bnilding was insured Il
the regular company. The latte
agreed to pay the S2500 II the schoo
board would abrogate its pohcy 10
the territorial policy. This was don
aud the S25O0 paid, after the territoris
auditor bad held that the territoria
law was invalid
Then came the supreme court opiu
ion, holding the law 10 be good, whic
will require an entirely new adjust
ment Of the wrangle at Perry.

ATTORNEY Orerstreet Holds Those who Han

Samuel L. Overstreet, United States
district attorney, is receiving many
inquiries regarding the new revenue
Law, particularly from persons en-
gagged in handling securities and COM
mission merchants. Brokers are re-
quired to pay an annual license OF $50.
MIR Oyerstreet holds that a person
who handles bis own money is sot
broker In the se~se intended by the
law. Those persons, howeve who
handle the funds and negotiate deals
for other persons are brokers, and
must pay the stipulated licensa. IL
has already been held by the internal
revenue department that person who
does a commission business and actu-
ally receives at his place OF business
the commodities ia which he dea S ID
not commercial broker. For instance,
John smith may be selling water mel
| Ions on commission. He would not be
rated as a commercial broker II he
| should receive his melons at his ware
house at Guthrie II II could be shown
however, that Smith bought melons
at Dallas, Tex, and sold them in Kan

ceived them at Guthrie, be would be

course OF the admiral since his, appoln;-
ment to the command Of the North At

that Sampson was selected for the com
mand because Il was believed that ne was
especially ntted for the place.
"He never pushes himself forword "
says the secretary to the damiral critic,
"and when you accuse him Of anything
Of that sort you do most cruel injustice
to a man who has never sought favor or
applause IN any other way than by the
simple discharge of his duty"
SAMPSON oBEYs ORDERS
Discussing. evidently, a complaint be
cause the fleet did not capture the harbor
OF Porto Rico. Secretary long says:
"rhe department which has very rare
ly iuterferred with the movements Of Ad-
mirols commanding squadrons did. how
ever, make one express order, and that
was that our batueships should not be
exposed to the risk Of serious injury from
the FIRE Of any fort"
This order he adds was made while
the strong Spanish fleet was in oxis-
tence, and the movement TO Porto Rico
was to meet II possible the Cervera fleet
There was no intention OF taking Porto
Rico at that time. without the co-opera.

the fleet into the harbor Of Santiago. the
secretary states that Admiral Sampson

sinking by mines.
