than one Senator has signed his
political death-warrant by voting
against the resolution. Congress
will adjourn at once.
If, as now seems likely, Admiral
Camara is really going to the Phil
ippines with his fleet, he is merely
carrying it certain destruction.
He may be able to get to the Phil
ippines, avoid Admiral Dewey's
fleet for time, but a feet Of our
fastest and best warships is going
to be sent out for the express pur-
pose of running his fleet down and
destroying it, and between this

the same fate that met Cervera's
feet-utter destruction.
The departure Of all but two of
the German warships which have
been in Manila Bay for some time
is naturally regarded by Presi-
dent Mckinley as contirmatory OF
the several statements made by
the German government to our
own, that the German ships were
only there to afford protection to
the German resideAts Of Manila,
in case it be necessary. AS soon
as the American troops reached
there and were landed the German
government was satisfied that the
interests of it's citizens would be
protected and all but two of its
warships went elsewhere. When
it is considered that the in
surgent army, which only Dewey's
positive orders prevented taking
Manila ( y storm, is mostly made
up of men who are semi-savagage,
the precaution of Germany is
easily understood.
President Mckinley has issued
proclamation asking the people
to return thanks to God for our
great victories, and to pray fo1
peace.

SHOULDN'T BE so NOISY.

woman's Reply to a Message from Her
Mothers Spirit
A young married woman was obliged
to remain alone over night in a St.
Louis hotel a few years ago, so the
story goes, her husband being detained
by business in neighboring town, says
the Kansas City Journal. In the dead
of night the woman was awakened out
of sound sleep by a tremendous noise
in the wardrobe. It was such sudden
and unearthly uproar that the woman,
sensible and practical though she was.
was frightened. The noise ceased, then
returned. The woman jumped up,
lighted the gas, looked at her watch,
and found it was just midnight. and
made a thorough search, both of the
wardrobe and of the room. There was
nothing, so far as the evidence of her
senses went, which could account for
the racket The woman put out the
light and went back to bed. The noise
was not repeated, either that night or
any other. Six months afterward, how
ever, the woman was in San Francisco
and for the first time in her life and
solely out of curiosity she attended a
spiritualist meeting. Almost immedi-'
ately the medium, a perfect stranger:
turned to her and said, "The spirit of
your mother is present, madam, and
she says that six months ago (naming
the precise date) she tried to commun-
icate with you by means off, the ward
robe in the Blank hotel, st. Louis" The
woman's practical good sense did not
desert her. WELL you just tell my
mother" she said, "that the next time
she wants to communicate with me not
to make such an awful racket in the
dead of night and frighten me half out
of my Senses"

Mr.. Ruclzs, who, it seems, one day was
proving about the aboriginal and
aEoraciOus Businesses of his Washing
ton county farm when a strange-look-
ing quadruped, with an elongated body,
ditto snout and short stubby legs, came
within the range of his vision and rifle
and promptly was made to suffer the
conventional penalty. Mr.. Rucks at a
glance and coincident sniff made sure
that the dead beast was neither a little
bear nor big skunk. Except thus
negatively, however, his powers of
Identification failed to serve him nor
could his neighbors tell him what it

discovered to be in the same boat or

jests are elaborated at the expense of
Editor Lange by the Sheboygan Tele-

wayfarer as the traditional badger"

AN ANTE-BELLUM COACH.

Old Kentuck Conveyance Which Carried
Many Notables.
Standing under an old shed In
Bloomfield is an old dismantled stage
coach which has a remarkable history,
and which, if put on exhibition, would
be an object of curiosity and wonder
to the people not only of Kentucky,
but of the United States, says the Tay-
lorsville Courier. This remarkable
stage has had many ups and downs
during it's time. 1t was at first the
property of Ham Jones, a noted stage
driver way back in the SOS. After the
pike was built from High Grove to
Bloomfield this stage was then run
between Louisville and Bloomfield.
This old coach was built at Concord,
N. H. During the war it was captured
many times by the confederates and
recaptured by the federals 1t was also
captured many times by the guerilla
bands led by Sue Mundy,> McGruder,
Quantrell, One-Arm Berry and Capt.
Terrell. who robbed its passengers,
plundered their baggage and destroyed
the mails and freight. Thousands OF
dollars in money we're hidden in the
cushions and trimmings of this old
stage and carried to and from Louis
Vile during the war. Among the dis
tinguished men who have ridden In 1t
were Col. Charles A. Wickliffe. James
Guthrie, Gov. John l.. Helm, Gems. Bu-
ell, Phil Sheridan, Rousseau and Sher'
man, and it is said that Gen. John H
Morgan on one of his raids through
Nelson county, took passage to Louis
Vile and remained in the city several
days. Many of the most noted drivers
of ante-bellum days of stage coaching

CAVITE AS IT IS.

Cavite town is a truly Asiatic one; that is, it is dirty, filthy, and has mar row streets. Its shops and dwellings also are dirty; there is but one Euro pean shop. The town is held by the insurgents, and the many public build ings are now either prisons, where the natives hold the Spaniards and subject them to starvation, or insurgent quar- ters where the native troops stay
 Cavite contains number of cn the bay near the walls Of the town, and near the gate from Cavite to Old Cavite, was struck by Dewey's guns. surgeIts dug open the crypts which held the remains of Catholic priests and scattered the bones inside the edi- flee and about the streets.
 The Cavite theater, just opposite the cathedral, is now an inSurgent head quarters Our soldiers wish it were used as originally devised, for diver sions are scarce in this part of the world Unlike theaters in general, it's walls display many crosses, all Of which are red-painted in Spanish blood. The ways of the insurgents are quite as grim as those of the Spaniards.
 The insurgent troops are armed en- tirely with arms taken from the Span ish, and are we'll supplied with ammu- ni.ion. Their method of selecting off, cers is peculiar Whenever an insur- gent soldier can raise money enough to buy pistol he is given commission. Many of these carry Spanish officers Weekly.

the Cripple Creek district will total s32. .000,000.
 At that rate the total production from the year of discovery would amount to S267, 100000.
 If this mass were beaten into gold lsaf it would cover 74.50 square miles. and a wire could be drawn one-eighth of an inch in diameter that would reach the length of the Amozan river
 A bar one inch square produced from it would reach distance of 20.2 miles.
 The same run into twenty dollar gold pieces. stacked one on top of the other, would be 2025 miles high And the total would make a rope five-eighths of an inch thick that would reach fifty miles.
 This is allowing for an annual in crease in product of S2O,000,000 per year, which is reasonable-conserva- tive men have estimated that the pro- duction will increase much faster
 With the gold already produced there, is enough to plate Pike's Peak from the top to the bottom, or to cover the streets Of New York city abso- lutely.

THREE MILES OF GOLD.
Some Curious Facts Concerning
 Cripple Creek.

In 1897 Cripple Creek produced in round numbers S12,000,000 worth of gold. This is the very lowest esti- mate.
 In the seven years from the discov- cry of the camp from date the amount Of gold removed from the hills totals S37, 100000
 If the total amount of gold produced to date were beaten into gold leaf it would cover 12,114 square miles.
 The Amazon river is four thousand miles in length. From the total pro- duction of gold to date a wire could be drawn that would sustain its own weight, in average weather, the entire distance from the source to the mouth of the stream.
 The width of the Amazon at its mouth, excluding the mouth Of the Para, is fifty miles, and with the gold already produced a golden rope one quarter of an inch in diameter could be made that would extend across the river at its mouth.
 If the gold were run into inch cubes, and the cubes were placed end to end the line would be 2.S103 miles in length
 Again, if the same mass of metal were melted into twenty dollar gold pieces, and they were placed one on top of the other, the stack would be 2.S103 miles in length.
 If the same ratio of increase in the production of gold is maintained for ten years, in 1907 the annual product Of
