Arbor Day at the School.

Last Friday was celebrated by the
Ritzville Public school in a fitting
manner by first rendering program,
consisting of songs, Rotations, dia-
logues, ETC., at the NJ. L. church.
After these exercises the school was
folmed in marching order by grades
and proceeded to the school grounds,
which have recently been fenced and
prepared, and there each Of the nine
grades planted a tree, naming it after
some illustrious person, the school
singing an appropriate song the while.
The teachers of the Ritzville school
appear to have marked ability to
plan, and the pupils the capacity to
carry out, in most pleasing manner,
any program they undertake.

THIEVES GET IN THEIR WORK.
Get Away With About 5000 Worth
of Watches and JeweIry From
Weiand's JeWeIrY Store.

Thieves broke into the jewelry store
of w. Weiand last Saturday night and
carried away about $500 worth of
watches, chains and rings. The thieves
managed to so cover their tracks that
no clue appears upon which start
can be made to trace them. The Off
GERS are doing all that can be done
under the circumstances. Mr.. Weiand
offers $50 for the thief and several
amateur detectives are working on the
case. AS is always the case a great
many people get very impatient after
about fifteen minutes and declare
"they will never get them" but some
time is often necessary and because
criminals are not caught the first day
is no reason that they will forever
escape. The sheritf's Office has not
outlined its plan to the public but
will possibly use similar tactics as in
the case of A. J. Symes whom they
got six weeks after the crime was
committed.

A Lively Saloon Row.

A fight occurred at Skip Lees sa-
loon Saturday night in which billiard
cues, balls, sling shots and brass
knuckles are said to have been freely
used. Lee carries a badly disfgured
countenance this week as gentle re-
minder that he had tough customer.
Van Bennett who happened to be pas
sing at the time received billiard
ball in one eye which may cause him
the loss of that useful member. Some
ladies who were passing about the
same time were terror stricken by
seeing a drunk following them with a
knife in his hand. If we must have
saloons in this town and the conse-
quent saloon brawls we ought to have
police protection. 1t is burning
shame that respectable people can not
travel along the street without run
ming the chance of being made the
victim of some drunken fools billiard
ball or knife at every turn.

col. BRYAN WILL RESIGN.
The Silver Regiment Is Anxious to
Re Mustered Out.

Col. William Jennings Bryan. command
ing the Third Nebraska Volunteers, wants
his regiment mustered out of the service
so that he may gracefully resign his COM
mission and take part in the Fall cam
paign. The Third Nebraska, Familiarity
known as the Silver Regiment and the
Sixteen to One Rifiemen,' is attached to
Gen. Lees army, the Seventh Corps, at
Jacksonville.
These volunteers from the far West are
suffering severely from fever, the sick list
having increased rapidly from "A to 1f7
cases.
The condition of affairs has caused Gov.
Holcomb of Nebraska TO take action in
the matter. He has teIegraphed the War
Department with reference to having
something done for the regiment. He has
asked Secretary Alger TO grant 10 all men
of the Third Nebraska who want to come
home honorable discharges.
Col. Bryan has made similar request,
but is in hopes the entire regiment viii
be mustered out. A friend of the coIonel's
is authority for the statement that he is
displeased at having been side-tracked at
Jacksonville when there were prospects
of fighting to be done. He says now that
peace has been practically declared, and
as there is no further necessity for his
presence in the army. he proposes to re-
sign at an early date.

THE MATTER EXPLAINED.
Why a Chinese Minister Was Rec
ocnized af ManfIa

The reported recognition of a Chinese
consul at Manila by the United States
authorities is thus explained:
Notwithstanding the presence in the
Philippines, and particularly at Manila.
of large number of Chinese, the Span
ish government had always refused to
permit the establishment of a Chinese
consulate at Manila.
Finally the representations of the Chi
nese government prevailed at Madrid,
and an exequatur for Chinese consul at
Manila was forwarded to the Spanish
minister at Pekin. Before it reached
its destination war between the United
States and Spain broke out and Admiral
Dewey was in front of Manila
When the United States forces enter
ed the city and formally took possession
the facts of the previous negotiations
between Spain and China were laid be-
fore the State Department by Minister
WI. who asked on behalf of the Pekin
government that the military governor
of the Philippines be instructed to recog-
nize certain wealthy Chinese merchants
in Manila as representatives of their
home country and government, pending
the military occupation.
The question was referred to the War
and Treasury Departments and as there
appeared to be no objections, instruc-
tions were sent to Gen. Merritt permit
ting him to recognize the merchants or
any OF them as Chinese consuls
There will be no formality about the
proceedings, as there will be none con-
cerning the recognition of the represen-
tatiyeS of the other powers at Manila
They simply shift their communications
from the Spanish captain general to the
American military governor, and his ac-
acknowledgement of the receipt of their
communications constitutes a sufficient
acknowledgment to do business
Should a foreign government desire to
change its consul at Manila. appIica-
ton for an exequatur would be made at
Washington
Unoer the present conditions none
would be issued, but Gen. Merritt would
be instructed. should there be no OBJ
lection, that he had permission to trans
act business with the new man.

ALGER WANTS TO KNOW.
Case of Hugh Parratt and Others
to BE Investigated.

secretary Alger has sent the follow
ing telegram to the commanding general
at Montauk Point:
"A New York paper of about the 18th
ultimo published a statement of the death
of Private Hugh Parrett, of the Eighth
Regulars. in which it is charged that

that the hospital was for sick men, and il
is reported that Parrett died that night

tive Grosvenor. of Ohio. who says there

there should be.

AROUND THE HORN AGAIN.
The Oregon and Iowa VIII Go to
the Pacific COast.

A matter which is causing very gen
eral comment in the Navy Department
is the proposed order to be issued within
the next ten days. by which two of the
great battieships now attached TO the
North Atlantic fleet viii be dispatched 20
the Pacific coast.
The vessels which are to make the long
journey are the Iowa and Oregon. Tcere
are various conjectures and reports as 10
why these armorclads are TO be ordered
to the Pacific station. One statement has
il that there have been recent quiet de-
velopments in the international situation
regarding the Philippines. which are
threatening. Another is that the battle
ships will be sent to the Poetic coast
because the Administration desires to be
prepared for emergencies in that quarter.
The Oregon and Iowa are now at the
Brooklyn navy yard being put in the
best possible condition. The Oregon is
regarded as one of the hero ships of the
American navy, since her long voyage
from Chinese waters TO Santiago and
the most important part she played IN
sinking Cervera's squadron
The report that the two battleships will
be ordered 10 Manila direct was en-
phatically denied at the Navy Depart
ment yesterday.
On tie Pacific these fighters will be in
a position TO defend that coast against
aggressions by a foreign power or hasten
10 the Philippines should Rear Admiral
Dewey require support in any future
movement he may make, or any that may
be made against him
Admiral Dewey requested the depart
ment by cable several days before the
peace protocol was signed that he be re-
enforced by battieship. The President
cannot honor that request now while
peace negotiations are pending. but he
has decided TO send two Of he finest
battleships in the Navy 10 the California
coast. from whence they can proceed
swiftly TO join Dewey's squadron. should
their presence be necessary in Manila
Bay.
1t is believed that the two battleships
can make the long voyage from New
York 10 San Francisco in fifty-fve days
if conditions are favorable.

pital tent, ran across an open space
directly in the line of fire and went
to the front with the Second Massa-
chusetts. He could only use one hand.
but several Spaniards had cause to re-
gret that he was not totally disabled
He was at the front all day, and at the
end of the battle came into his camp,
an hour late for roll call, and was
court-martialed as a deserter The
testimony of the men of the Sec
ond Massachusetts saved him from
death, and it was discovered that
he had been wounded. He was
hastily placed aboard a hospital
ship with several members of his
regiment who had been wounded in
the fight. They called him coward;
they taunted him; they rehearsed the
same old drama of abuse and misun-
derstanding. Too disheartened to try
to set himself right, he kept aloof from
them as much as possible, and brood
ed He was told over and over again
that he would be discharged from the
service in disgrace. Finally, unable to
bear the thought of the future. he
Ieaped over the side of the transport
and was drowned. When the body was
recovered they found a great ragged
hole through the left lung.
This inexperienced country boy,
brought up to believe that courage
does not necessarily lead a man to
fight at the slightest provocation. de-
serves high place among the heroes
of the war. 1t may be questioned
whether, under the circumstances, he
showed the best possible judgment.
There is no question of his bravery
A man who bears in silence the con-
tempt of men whom he believes TO be
admirable soldiers-a contempt ex-
pressed with all the singing rhetoric
of the barrack-room; who does un-
fiinchingly the work which he promis-
ed to do for his country, in the midst
of leaden death; and who then en-
dures the tortures of a wound through
the lungs, without one word of COM
plaint or one bit of friendly SYM
pathy, is a hero of a very uncommon
type. There is a higher courage than
that which leads a man to engage in
hsticuffs with every ruffian who hap
pens to jostie him on the road, and this
young fellow. too bashful and unas-
Stunning to defend himself from taunts
