Message
Washington, D. c., Dec. 5th:

Washington, ID. e., Dec. ON:
Fellow Citizens, Representatives, Mis-
representatives and others:
/ take my pen IN hand to tell you tnat
we are all well, and hope this will ma
you the same. We have had several ad-
ditions to the family since l wrote you
last. We had a prosperous year. we
had a war, and while | didn't want TO
have war, now that we had to nave .
I'm glad we licked. We learned good
deal about ourselves from the war that
we didn't know Gcfore, and so did other
folks. Everybody connected with the
war in any shape, from private down to
Secretary, did the best he knew how:
hope you will all get what you want in
your stockings for Christmas, and re
member your poor little brothers and
sisters that haven't got any stockings.
Here's looking at you.
WILLIAM M'KINLEY.
The war taught us where we are at"
1t has shown us what we can do. 1t has
made the nations OF the earth take Off
their hats to Uncle Sam. 1t has made
great men and unmade great men. 1t
has shown US that our new territory is
no place to get rich selling Underwear,
for they don't wear enough over there,
and we've got to be in place where
there are lots Of people, to sell goods the
way we sell 'em and make any money,
and even then we can never let up.
Come In this week and see the beautiful
Silk and Satin Suspenders in glass COW
cred boxes al SOC and 7oc. Neckwear at
25c, soc, 75c and $1.00. You can save
enough by buying your presents here
to buy an extra one or two.

slight bruises. Terry was attended at the
receiving hospital by DR.. Hagan, who took

Pierre and is not counted as a probable
member Of this fleet
According to the report current. this
provisional fleet is to assemble in the
vicinity of Martinique, and the last
named vessels are to wait for or meet
the Oregon according to the time when
she arrives at the point fixed. Accept
ing this story as true, though of ne
cessity there is no official veriflcation,
the Spanish admiral now has behind
him a formidable force which, in case
of necessity, could make him serious
trouble, and which may prove trying
surprise If he attempts return move
ment along the line of his advance.
CAPT. CLARK COMES IN.
Capt. Clark, of the Oregon, by this
reported action, becomes an important
factor in the game of sea strategy
which Is being played 1t is we'll, under
the circumstances, that he is a man Of
the Dewey-Sampson kind, and that, if
the honor falls to him of meeting the
Spanish squadron, the nation can de-
pend upon plucky and at the same
time, an intelligent course Of action
Capt Clark is regarded as one of the
most courageous men in the United
States navy. He has seen service in
the Civil war under Admiral Farragut
and has been all over the seas on
United States warships in times Of
