large number of clients all over the coun-

and he cannot be located. He left Toledo
ostensibly for Washington. July 4, and
later on he sent several patches of papers
from Washington for various clients, but
now nothing can be learned of him be-

Col William Webster is well known in

eight days during the early part of July,
and left with the expressed purpose of
going home. A letter was received by a
friend several weeks ago which stated
that Col. Webster had been taken Ill in
Allegheny City. Pa. No word has been
received from him since.
Col. Webster made IL practice of stop

many trips to Washington. He arrived at
the hotel on July 4. and greeted many old
friends in his usual joviai manner. He
stayed at the hotel until the 12th, when
he paid his bill and started for the rail-

Two or three days afterward a letter
was received at the hotel from him re-

Ai7vENTs OF THE " AR.
The Tragedy at osrdenas and ate
Advices from Admiral Dewey.

The Tragedy at oerdenas and ate
Advices from Admiral Dewey.
The news Of the FIRST tragedy Of
the war on the American side--the
killing OF brave young Ensign Worth
Bagley and four daring members OF
the torpedo-boat Winslow in au en-
gagement in Cardenas Harbor on
Wednesday caused profound sor-
row in Washington, At first it was
feared this loss OF life was due to
rashness on the part OF the Winslow
in unnecessarily venturing too close
to shore in dangerous waters, but it
was subst queutly learned that the
torpedo-boat was obeying orders in
endeavoring to destroy mines or
torpedoes in the harbor when the
disaster occurred. An inquiry will
be ordered by the department, and
it is probable that no further opera
tions Of this character will be made
by the smaller vessels of the block
aiding squadron unassisted.
A reassuring message came to the
Navy Department yesterday from
Admiral Dewey. 1t was fled at
HonRkong, hearing date OF II b, but
was probably written at Cavite two
days before. The dispatch is as
follows:
"HoNeKoNe, May H.
Secretary Of the Navy:
"There is little change in the sit
uation since my last telegram. /
am transferring to transports steel
breech-loading rifles from sunken
Spanish men oi-war. Also stores
from arsenal in my possession. l
am maintaining strict blockade.
Add Argos to list of destroyed
vessels, Ell Correo, probably E Cano.
DEWEY"
The fact that Admiral Dewey is
holding his position in Manila Har-
Dor and that the situation has I'M
dergone no material change is es-
pecially gratifying to the depart
ment, since delay of few days
may be necessary in starting the re-
endorsements. However, Admiral
Dewey will be amply supplied with
ammunition long before the land
troops arrive and no apprehension
is felt as TO his ability TO cope sue.
cessfully with any emergency that
may arise. The fact that Major-
General Wesley Merritt will accom-
pany the expedition 20 establish a
military government at Manila
makes clear the intention of the
United States TO bold the islands
until the war ends at least.

ing here. Mr.. Bull stated that his
company has buildings in several
cities, and that it might be less ex'
pensive to have a building in Mankato
where supplies and machinery can be
stored than to pay storage charges
and other expenses. He said that
wherever the company puts up
building it is good one.
The move of the Mccormick people
in purchasing ground for the erection
of a building has stirred the Other
machine companies. Mankato is very
favorably located for large distribu
tion point, and the various companies
will have to recognize this fact sooner
or later. The first that do so will
reap the advantages the longer.

GREEK TRAGEDY.
High Class DDrama Presented
Last Evening.
Members of the Portnightly Club. Present
Revised Edition of "The Return
of Agamemu0n."

The Fortnightly club held a very
interesting meeting last evening at
the residence of w. M. Farr, closing
with a Greek play. There was full
attendance of the club and several in
vited guests were present. Miss Alice
Robbins gave talk on the causes of
the decline of the Roman empire, and
this led to discussion. Miss Darrah
gave readings from Lucien's Catalogue
of the Dead" The play then followed.
1t was tragedy entitled "The Re-
turn of Agamemnon," based on the
version of F. Austey. The splay had
been rewritten by Miss Darrah, who
adapted it to the purposes of the club,
The costumes were realistic, and the
play occupied about thirty minutes,
The following is the dramatis per.
sonae:
| Agamemnon.-B. C. Taylor.
Cassandra-A prophecies, condemned by
| Apollo, although always speaking the truth, tc
| Dyke.
Accommodating of Mycenae and general
| in-chief of the Greek armies in the expedition
| against Troy, supposed to have been killed
during the campaign.-E L. Patterson.
Aegisthus- favorite courtier of Clytem
nestra, who, supposing herself a widow, il
about to marry him.-W. D. Willard.
Greek Chorus-Indispensable to any Greel
play.-Rev. L. w. Beattie and DR.. S. FL. Rowe.
Guard, populace, attendants, characters, A
D. T. messengers, etc.. M. Crandan.
Crestes-Son of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS fo
want of room.
1t has been supposed by historians
that Agamemnon was killed at the
siege of Troy, but he explained his
safe return by saying that he had
heard that many people were being
killed there and that he had post
poned his trip to Troy. He had beer
around the world and had come back
better fitted than ever to reign. His
wife, who, thinking him dead. haC
fallen in love with Aegisthus, received
her husband joyfullY and passec
around refreshments to him in the
shape of a bottle of poison, which
he partook of with satisfaction
for time. He soon died, however
When Clytemnestra learned that
Hgisthus, when he had heard Of
Agamemnon's return, had eloped with
another, she also sampled the poison
bottle and fell dead across the body
of her late husband. When an A. D.
T. messenger arrived, he noticed
that they were dead, by sticking
them with hot pin, and then put
up the label Corpse" over the bodies
Thus the tragedy ended, while the
audience was bathed in tears.

STOLEN GOODS RECOVERED
Willie Kehoe Arrested After a Long
Run.

Officer Daniels arrested Willie, the
IA year old son of Thos. Kehoe, this
afternoon, on the charge of stealing
some lubricators and oil cans. Young
Kehoe confessed to being implicated
in breaking into the Offices or engine
houses at Widell's quarry, Fowler &
PAYS and T. r. Coughlan's. He I'm.
plicated three other boys, who will
probably be arrested today or tomor'
row.
Kehoe gave the officer a hard run,
from the opera house to the top OF
the bluff. When the officer knocked
at the door of Kehoe's house on the
hill, Willie ran out the back door and
gave the officer a chase into the
ravine.
Officer Thilgen worked on the case
this forenoon. Fowler & Pay report
ed the loss Of three in
jectors, one lubricator, one
steam guage and an oil can
Mr.. Widell reported the loss of two
lubricat0rs and six Oil cans. Some OF
this plumber was sold by the boys to a
rag peddler named swenson, where
Mr.. Thilgen recovered it. The thefts
were committed Sunday and Monday
by breaking through windows.
