Not long after he left, his wife noticed his horse returning home. She thinking that the horse had in some way ran off from her husband, caught the animal and led it in the direction he went. Possibly ln less then a mile, she was horribly shocked by finding the dead body of her husband lying in the road with a ghastly gunshot wound in his breast. The alarm was given and soon Sheriff Jackson with his Deputies, Howard and Young blood and j Marshal Kelly, of this clty, were on the ground. A blood hound was put on the trail and ran it we'll for about half a mile, The Sheriff and posse then followed the trail, which led in the direction of the home of Robt. Mcknight. On account of existing bad blood between Mc- Knight and the deceased and oth- CT circumstantial evidence, Me Knight was placed under arrest and brought to this place Sunday by Sheriff Jackson and Marshal Kelly.

LAST week Bre'r Neal, of the Helena World, took occasion to to slur the Monroe county boys who "started to the war; claim
 Ing that they backed out and re turned home. Now Bro. Neal, we have tried our best, without avail, for the past week to find out the name of single Monroe county boy who did this. Every one of our boys belong to the sticking" class and we know ot several, who, failing to pass the rigid physical examination, had to return home, but have since re- enlisted and gone to try to get in again. On the other hand we have it from a reliable source that several of yoar Helene boys afte,' haui'ag passed the examination, lost Meir patriotism aud returned to theia' homes.

O al'ette snsse .aars K Rejected.

Z asliln ston, May f2.-The Iargc number of rejections of vol unteers has caused much com ment in the army medical corps. However, the physicians who have conducted the examinations say that, outside of the ranks of smokers, there are even fewer re- iections than there were in the days of the civil war. Among the habitual users of the cigarette the rejections are about so per cent.
 Dr. Benjamin King, of Phila- delphia, who acted as examining surgeon during iS61-63, in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, says that those years did not exceed 13 per cent. He attributes the large increase almost entirely to the cigarette habit.
 .'I have been inspecting the pa pers in a number of cases nnder the present recruiting act" said he, "aud l observe that most of the men who failed to pass the medical examination have weak hearts or lack the vitality necessa- " to make good soldier.
 Fl had expected that the per centage of rejections would be greater now than in 1861, bnt l did not dream Shat 1t would be al. Ianost three times greater. The lexainining physicsans with whom
 have talked shave generally told me that tic excess of rojections is 1 due u the large number of you're
 men implying for enlistment who
 have become victims of the habit.

THE PHILIPPINE
Larger Than the Six New Eng land States, and Contain
 10,0O0,O00 People.

Washington, May 1G.-The State Department to-day publish es bulletin containing much in teresting information about the Philippine Islands, taken from the report of our Consul at Manila. It gives the area of the Philippines at 150,000 square miles, population 10,000,000. The island of Luzon, on which Manila is situated, is larger than New York and Massachusetts, and has a population of 5,000,000. Min danao is nearly as large. There are scores of other islands, large and very populous. An idea of the extent of the Philippines may be formed when it is stated that the six New England :states, New York, New Jersey, Maryland and
 
 Della ware have 10 per cent less area. In addition to the Philip pine Islands, the Caroline, Lad. rome and Sooloo groups. are con- sidered under the jurisdiction of Manila.
 In all there about 2,000 islands, in a land and sea area of about 1.200 miles of latitude and 2,40O miles of longitude.
 During the last quarter of 1897 there were exported from these islands to the United States and Greet Britain 216,99S bales of hemp (2S0 pounds per bale) of which 13S, 792 bales went to the United States and only 7S, lO6 bales to Great Britain. It Is very apparent that the trend of the trade is toward the United States. According to official returns, the annual imports into the United States amounted to STA, 150, ,2S4 during the ten years ended June 30, 1897. or $7,415,028 per year.
 There is but one railway in the islands-from Manila to Dagupin distance of 123 miles. It is sin gle-track and we'll bull t steel rails being used it's entire length, the bridges being of stone or iron and the station buildings substantial. English engines are used, which make 45 miles per hour.
 There are about 25,000 Euro peans resident in the islands. Some 12,000 are established in the capital, Manila. English, Spanish and German houses are engaged in trade, advancing mon ey to the natives on their crops. The land is fertile and productive and lacks only intelligent culti- yation. Abaca (Manila hemp) is one of the chief sources of wealth of the country, owing largely to the ignorance of planters. The average production is 175, 1S6 tons, while that of Cuba is equal se 100, ,OOO tons.

Mayor Charles Buckner of De-
Queen, was here yesterday, and he
entertained a crowd IN a spirited
discussion with j. d. Cook, as to
what the United States would do in
the event of the proof showing that
the Maine was destroyed by Span
ish treasury. Mayor Buckner says
that Mckinley will find way out
without fighting, if there is any
kind of showing for him to "craw
fish" or snake out of it. The Mayor
is not Mckinley by any means
and he has no grounds to feel lone

Sylvesta Scoyell, whoi in Havana,
and who is the correspondent Of the
Post Dispatch, aside from being a
little sensational, gives facts and
impressions as he hears them on the
street Of Havana. He says in his
last dispatch. That the explosion
under the Maine was due TO a mine
or torpedo is not doubted by any
body conversaut with the facts. "
General Lee has not expressed
himself on the situation, but no.
body acquainted with him doubts
that he will acqult himself as be-
comes a soldier of experience aud a
diplomat of ability, when the time
comes.
The governors of the several
states, at the request of the Post
Dispatch, have spoken out and most
of them favor hostilities at the in
suit offered out country by the de-
structiOn of the Maine.
Lon V. Stephens of Missouri, is
for war or $2O,OOO,OOO indemnity.
He can furnish if need be, $50, 900
volunteers in thirty days.
Dan Jones of Arkansas, can fur
nish $4,000 men in thirty days.
Wants to fight.

servative. but says his state will fur
nish full quota if need be.
H. S. Pingree of Michigan says
his state will furnish her fun quota
of troops.
Many of the the other governors
of the states have spoken and all
say they can furnish troopsltor the

The country is stirred Up from
