spArr.s POSITION.
Capitulation Of Manila Must Have No
Effect In the Peace Negotiations
UnfavorabIe 10 Her.

Madrid, Aug. 2O.-The government
has resolved to insist that the capitula-
tion of Manila after the signing of the
protocol should have no effect in the
peace negotiations unfavorable to
Spain.
In any event the government holds
that the equalization, having been
signed by the commander of the town,
does not entail the surrender of the
whole of the Philippines.
Madrid, Aug. 2O.-The cabinet Is dis.
cussing the instructions to be given
the Spanish peace commissioners.
Premier Sagasta said Friday:
THE question is extremely complicated
Spain renounces sovereignty over Cuba and
Puerto Rico but will claim her property
there. such as national buildings, barracks,
prisons. lands belonging to the state, ports,
machinery In the arsenals and all similar
property. II Is also a question what to do
with the present inmates of prisons and
criminals and civil proceedings now pend
ing In the courts, but these may be settled
by the Cuban military commission. An
other great problem is the Cuban debt.
Regarding Manila, l consider Its sur
render null and void, since II was made
after signing the protocol. The Paris con-
ference will settle this, and also arrange
commercial treaties by which Spanish goods
may obtain tariff advantages In Cuba and
Puerto Rico In exchange for similar advan-
tages being given the Americans in the
Philippines"
1t is limited that Spain may ask in
demnity for the cession of property
and railroads in Cuba and Puerto Rico.

Topics of the Day.

In Demorest's Magazine for October
the wonders Of the flying machine,
new and old, are set forth in a popu.
lar scientific article on "Mechanical
Flight" There arenunerous pictures
Of the most celebrated inventors, oil
machines con the wing" and prepar.
atory to flight.
The bluecoat and the Jackie concur
in the belief that next to a fight there
is nothing so interesting as payday,
and the soldiers and sailors, as well
as their friends and relatives, will all
enjoy a perusal of an article on the
naval paymaster in October Dem
orest's.
Besides the serial, ga Municipal
Experiment." which suggests Stock
ton in it's whimsical eccentricities
this number of Demorest's presents
several excellent short stories. The
Little Ensign" by Clinton Ross, is a
spirited Cuban war story. Mrs. Bur-
ton Harrison writes for this number
on how women car win success IN lit
erature, and as this famous n velist
writes from personal experience both
in the field of effort and success, what
she saysis of exceptional interest and
value. The fifth full-page of photo
graphs OF men prominent in the Span
lsh-American war will be found in
this number. Those who have been
fortunate enough to secure this entire
series, will have a collection seldom
equalled and certainly impossible to
excel.
In the October number Demorest's
publishes twenty-four original designs
of the newest fall and winter STYLES.
These fashions are an accurate pro-
phecy of what will be worn this win
ter, and patterns of any one of the
designs cost only the price of postage.

Circuit Court.

The September term of the circuit
court with Hon. John R. Bennett pre-
siding, convened il this city last Mon
day P. NJ, the usual number of attor-
neys, witnesses and jurors being pre-
sent. There was only a short session,
lasting about n hour, when a recess
was taken until Friday at 10 o'clock
A. NJ. Of the eve civil cases on the
calendar not n vas tried, being dis
posed of as follows:
Edna Coleman, an infant, by her
guardian ad Item, James Coleman,
VS.. Margaret Parker and her husband,
Henry Parker, was settled.
In the case of Gottfried Boltz VS.. the
Town of Sullivan, a change Of venue
was taken to the county court.
F. E. House VS.. George H. Bruins
was settled.
T. j. Wiley and F. w. Dodge VS..
Henry Hoyt Was not for trial and will
probably be settled.
Carl Brusso VS.. Carl Finder was
continued.
The Bank of Kewaunee, a domestic
corporation, VS.. George G. Congdon,
was stricken from the calendar, on
account of defective notice for trial.
In the case Of H. Reinke VS.. L. T.
Davies a change of venue was taken.
This is the first time in the history
! of the court, Of which any knowledge
can be obtained, where not even one
civil case was tried. 1t is believed
that the six criminal cases will con-
sumo very little time and this term of
court will probably be the shortest on
record.-JeffersOn Banner.

A Home Estimate.

The Madison Journal says: "In
nominating Mr.. Dahle,.'of this county,
for congress, the Republicans of the
Second district have secured a thor
oughly capable and entirely worthy
candidate. Mr.. Dahle is a staunch
Republican, sound as a nut on the
money question, in favor of proper
protective laws, and in Harmony with
all the principles and policies Of his
party. He is a nan Of education and
intelligence and business experience.
He cannot fail to make q safe and
active representative of the various
interests Of his district.
"Mr. DAZZLE is a Scandinavian, and
ought to, as he no doubt will, receive
a very large support from the voters
OF his nationality throughout the dis
trict. His position on the money
question ought also to secure him a
large vote among sound money Ger
mans Of Dodge and Jefferson coun-
ties. We see no reason why Mr.. DAZZLE
may not be elected by a good major
ity. He should certainly receive the
vote OF every man who is opposed to
the free silver doctrines advocated
by his opponent"

we should never look upon it's like
again. However, the Trans-Missis-

lively reproduced in similarity all of

City so attractive in 1898.
1t does not now take weeks to wan

and then be compelled to go away
with a tumble of ideas, for the Omaha
exposition people have proited by
past experience, and have so i'm

BIG D-EA FROGS.
Species of Huge and VOracious Rep
tiles Haunt Swamps of
Pennsylvania.

A species of bird-eating frog infests
the swamps in Susquehanna county,
Pa. These huge croakers have also
proved destructive to young chickens,
says the New York Press.
A few days since a farmer named
Wainwright, Of Herrick, had his atten-
ton called to the ~bird-eating propen-
sity Of this species Of frog by the cries
of a small bird in a nearby swamp.
Thinking it had been seized by a snake,
he FASTENED to the spot, and saw a beau
tiful red and green bird in the mouth
Of a large, greenish frog. Only the
birds head was visible, and its cries be-
coming fainter, the frog was killed and
the bird released. It's feathers were
all wet and Shiny, and for some days
it could be distinguished in the gar
den by it's ruffled plumage.
Since then others of the same species
of frog have, on several occasions, been
killed with young chickens half swal-
lowed, and once a duckling was rescued
from the same fate.
The frogs make a clucking sound so
nearly like that of a hen calling her
chickens for food that whole broods
have been deceived and have rushed
toward the swamp, where they supposed
the hen to be. The frogs are wary,
and it is difficult to find them except
by the squeaks of distress from their
victims.

when they arrived at Watertown she
went into the bakery, her husband
droveof, and up to the time she arrived
here had heard nothing of him. She
was h~atless, saying that she had left
her headgear in the wagon. She was
given supper here and railroad ticket
was bought for her to Milwaukee,
The story was in some way corrobo-
rated, several having een the wagon
she described pass through here

Modern ChiyaIry,

Sir Walter Raleigh's cloak has been
a symbol of chivalry for many years,
but the little street boys cap in the
following story, from the Sunday Mag
azine, deserves an equally honorable
place. The best story I know Of an
Edinburgh street boy was told me by a
lady who witnessed the incident. There
was "a Christmas treat given to poor
children at a mission hall, and hun
dreds of little ones were assembled at
the doors in advance of the hour of
admlttance, many of them barefoot.
Among the number was a sweet-faced
little girl, who seemed less hardened
than most to the cold, for she shivered
in her poor jacket and danced from one
foot to the other on the cold, hard
stones. A boy not much older watched
this performance for a few minutes,
and then, with a sudden impulse az pro-
lection, took off his cap, put it down be-
fore her and said: Eye maun stand
on that"
