Manila has been taken before. The
English did the job over IL century ago,
and pretty tough task they had. The
fleet numbered II ships: they were all
heavily armed, and the moment they
entered the bay they got to work. So
did the typhoon. Covered by the frig-
ates' guns, detachment of artillery
the guns could not protect them from
the waves. The surf took them, tossed
them, churned them, and, while the
shells shricked over them, pitched them
against each other. 1t was real Armada
weather. but this time on the side of
Spain. How the troops landed only an
eyewitness could state, yet land they
did. Meanwhile the storm increased.
The whole coast was abtoil. The frig-
ates had the palsy. They danced like
epileptics. But over the boom of the
waters was the boom of the guns.
Through those waters another detach-
ment was sent, second, third.
Spanards, natives, the elements even
joined to repulse them. Yet still the
guns persisted. In the bastion breech
was made. Through the crumbled
walls the English poured, and presently
Manila had fallen. 1t is related that
the Spaniards fought like fiends, that
many of them refused quarter, and that
rather than surrender 300 of them
drowned themselves in the sea. The
ransom which Manila paid was $4,000
600. That was dirt cheap and would be
tripled to-day.-Collier's Weekly

They Saw the Commodore.


Madden. the breezy New York ccrre-
spondent of the Pittsburg Dispatch,
tells this story: II will not men
tion the names of the two Pitts
burgers who boarded the Texas
the other day, as this para
gragh has to do only with their nerve.
They had scraped up an acquaintance
with petty officer while he was on
share leave and received ilattering
invitation to call. The officer met them
all right and made their visit as pleasant
as possible; butthe Pittsburgers wanted
to shake hands with Captain, now
Comodore, Philip, and, not knowing
the rules and regulations of the navy,
they asked the guide to ointroduce them.
OF course, that was out of the question.
as friendship between officers and crew
atioat goes no farther than salute.
After listening to a brief discourse on
discipline and naval etiquette the Pitts
burgers decided to do the next best
thing and introduce themselves. The

Serves Them Right.

Mr.. Towne has been beaten for Con-
gress in Minnesota and the Minnesota
farmer is selling his wheat for about so
cents per bushel. The Minnesota farm
er averages about fifteen bushels of
wheat to the acre. AT SO cents that
gives him $50 per acre or $50 for 100
acres. That means what he obtains by
working hard, by having his wife and
children work hard, with poor clothes
and board, that possibly for himself and
his family, provided they do all the
work, perhaps they may get 25 cents per
day for their labor. Their comfort is
in thinking how much better off they
are than the poor poems of Mexico, and
filled with that thought, they go to the
polls and vote down man like G. A.
Towne for Congress. Our judgment is
that they deserve to work hard and to
have nothing to the end of their useful
days. Our judgment is that they do not
deserve citizenship in the United States;
that they should be disfranchised on
the score Of utter imbecility. They
received little better price last year
because the outside world was starving
That fixed the business. That was
enough for them. That was conclusive
proof that the price of silver had moth
ing to do with the price of wheat be-
cause first, the Pioneer Press had told
them so, and, second, had they not the
proof before their eyesp

Death Of Mrs. NJ. J. Vaughan

Mrs. Matte j. Vaughan died of
consumption, in Benton on Thurs
day, Jr:y 81, 1898, in the SEND year
of her age.
Mrs. Vaughan was born in Mont
gomery county, Alabama: Sept. 81,
1916. Her father, Benjamin Shaver,
moved from Alabama to Texas in
1854, and from there to Bossier par
ish, near Bellevue, in 1856, where
she lived with the family until her
marriage to Mr.. Chas. 81. Vaughan,
now deceased, on January 4, 1866,
when she moved with her husband
to Midway neighborhood, living
there until a few weeks ago, when
she came to Benton for medical
treatment.
Mrs. Vaughan was an almost life
long member of the Methodist
phurch, of fine Christian character,
devoted to duty as she saw and un-
derstood it, and devoted wife and
mother. She had endeared herself
to her friends here, and there are
many who mourn her death, and
sympathize deeply with the bereav-
ed family.
In the graveyard at Bellevue,
where rest the remains of her father,
mother and husband, the remains
OF the deceased were laid to rest
Friday afternoon, Rev. r. s. Collier
conducting the funeral services.
