He was escorted by so Cuban
soldiers. Tie party carried 10 days
rations, which were supplied by
Gen. Wood. They went on horse
back, and will ride 400 miles before
they return to Santiago
General Garcia will first go to
Jaguan, then to Bayamo and then to
Manzsnillo, where the largest forces
of Cuban troops are encamped.
Gen Garcia told Gen Wood be
believed he could induce thousands
of soldiers to lay down their
arms. Gen. Garcia is, however,
daily losing influence among the
Cubans. His NOV rnsenss ara looked
upon with suspicion, and his desire
to remove the friction between the
Cubans AMI Americans is openly
stated to be trap for the defeat Of
Cuban independence.
As result OF Garcia negoti4
tions, Gen. Perez will assemble the
remaining troops of his command
in the vicinity OF Guantanamo on
October 10, and will there disarm
and disband them The nave. who

RUNNING WITHOUT WEIGHTS.

We can truthfully say, and with
pride, that never in the history of
Bates county was there a better
ticket nominated than the democratic
ticket now asking the suffrage OF the
people It is made up OF strong,
clear and popular men, all well quail
flied to perform the duties of the
respective offices for which they are
asking A correct test Of chain is
the strength of its weakest link. The
present democratic ticket has no
weakest part. 1t resembles the
immortal one horse chaiss in that
respect.
We admit that there are times,
owing to mistakes of convention,
that weak and Incompetent men get
on party tickets, even democratic
tickets To the extent of their
weakness and ineficieney they wsiR ht
the party down. We are glad to say
that this time the democratic ticket
is running without weights. They
are of and unhampered and are
ri ing clear heels to all opposition.
In this we include our state, dis
trict and county tickets. We are not
fighting on the defensive. We have
right on our side and are proud of
our nominees. We invite the co
operation OF ell who believe our
views are nearest right, and We do
this without apologies CT excuses.

AN UNFORTUNATE FAMILY.
Father Alleged to Spend Most Of His Barn
logs For Drink.

For some time past Agent Thurber
has been investigating case of alleged
cruelty upon the part of man towards
his family at Lymansville, and it was
said that the man, with his family
slept out of doors nights because of his
failure to procure for them a roof.
The agent found that the mans namc
was Thomas Hudson. and that he
claimed TO belong in a small town In
Massachusetts,, from which he came
two months ago. with his family, I'm
search OF work. The man, he learned,
has found work upon the farms OF the
vicinity, but the nearby saloons have
got the. major portion of his earnings.
The family consisted of the wife, three
children, one OF whom was a daughter
of the woman by a first husband, Il
years OF age. and named Ruth A. Kirk
The report about the family sleeping
out of doors was unfounded. as they
were housed in a tumble-down lookinD
shanty which did not offer much proc
lection from the elements.
The agent found that the man wa,
considered cruel TO the step-daughter
and displayed much enmity toward
her at all times. Yesterday the agens
called at the place. took the girl to the
temporary home of the ". I. :. y. &. G..
where she will remain until such time

her.

A TOUCHING EULOGY.
At the conclusion Of the mass Rt.
Rev. Bishop Harkins delivered p very
touching and beautiful eulogy. He be-
gan by quoting the psalmist's promise
that God would help him in the day OF
sickness and change his bed of sorrow
into one of patience who hath been
charitable. He then said: Our de-
ceased friend occupied II prominent
place in the commercial world and was
known in many places by the variety
and Importance OF his interests, but he
seems to have shown that II was the
poor class that he loved. for while he
had relations with all classes he seems
ofrenest TO have remembered the un-
fortunate. His associates in business
admired his wonderful capacity for and
sagacity in affairs of great Importance;
his knowledge OF the details of his
varied interests was marvellous. but he
will be longest known and in nothing
was he so prominent as In charity.
EARNEST IN GIVING.
"He was ever earnest IN giving to
educational institutions. Not only did
he give generously to our great religi-
Gus high school whose rector is here

sought him, no matter how humble the
movement If IL was to educate. Not
only our university, but many. other In
situations grieve at his death. He ex-
amincd into the government of the in
stirutions that sought his aid, and In
this he was wise, but once the worth
of the institution was proven he gave
generously.
