In the meanwhile the troops,
carrying three days ratiors, and

sition OF the sternest nature will
surely be encountered when The
troops approach the line Of de
Tense, wherever,or whatever it may
be. To fad it and test i is the
next task in hand.
If General Pando, wto was in
command Of the Spanish forces at
HoIguin, a point about mt huns

in reaching the lines of General
Linares at Santiago, the latter has
at least 90, 600 men in his COM

FOR WATCH OWNERS.

Don't open the cases except when
necessary.
Don't, under any circumstances,
handle the movement.
Don't neglect to wind your watch
regularly, nee a day-as near the
same hour as possible-and prefer
ably in the morning.
Don't put it on a cold marble slab
when retiring. Leave it in your
pocket or let it rest in a jewel case,
or on a velvet or other soft mat.
Don't move the regulator back and
forth-a slight, delicate touch is re
quired-br1ng it to us and we will
alter the regulator for you without
charge.
Don't carry it over a year without
cleaning. Every watcn should be
cleaned and oiled at least once a
year. The balance wheel of an or
binary watch makes 432, 900 vibra-
tons in twenty-four hours, or 1885,

peet it to go longer than a year with
out using up the oil, resulting in the

WASHINGTON. Dec. IL. The necessity
of maintaining strong force in the
East has brought the navy face to face
with very serious condition. Under
the law passed to meet the needs of
the war the terms of enlistment of
about $500 sailors will expire within
three and half months and the de-
partment is forbidden to re-enlist
them. The immediate result will be
that nearly half the ships in COM
mission will have to be retired
from active service for lack of
crews. Even at present two
naval vessels. the Philadelphia
and the Yorktown are charged with
the impossible task of patrolling the
whole east coast line of the Pacific
from Boring straits to Cape Horn.

raised unless Congress enacts the leg

Chicago, Dec. 12.@Central Music
hall was yesterday afternoon filed
with citizens of Chicago who had gath
cred in mass meeting in order to pro-
test against the extending of Chicago's
street car franchises to fifty years.

and received generous applause.
Frank H. Head presided, and the
speakers were Mayor Harrison, Form

KILLED HIS RIVAL IN LOVE.


Near Missouri City, Mo.
Missouri CITY, Mo-, Dec. 10-At the
close Of church services last night,
held in the Clevenger school house,
Ern Clevenger shot and killed George
Allen, and then, turning the weapon
upon his cousin, Della Clevenger, shot
her, perhaps fatally.
Disappointment and jealousy were
motives for the crime. Joseph eleven
ger, father OF Della, would not allow
his nephew, Ern, admittance to his
home to pay attention to Della. Err
seems to have been the black sheep OF
the family. While good hearted and
we'll meaning when sober, he was
drunk most of the time. Ern was APP
parently greatly attached to Della,
and grew respondent and morose when
he saw the place, which he considered
of right his, taken by George Alien,
handsome young fellow and one of the
best known young men in the county.
All day Ern Clevenger had been
drinking freely. Last night he placed
a revolver in one pocket and bottle
of whisky in another and went to
church, where he knew he would meet
his rival and his sweetheart. He took
his seat back of the Clevenger pew
and remained very quiet during the
meeting. When the congregation
arose for the benediction, Ern eleven
ger arose also and stood with bowed
head. When the last word was uttered
by the preacher the murderer took a
step forward toward Allen, at the
same time drawing a 3S-caliber revol-
yer from his pocket.
"D-n you; I'll show you" he cried,
hoarsely, and, placing the gun at the
back of Aliens head, fired twice.
Allen fell without uttering a word.
Then the murderer turned the weapon
upon his cousin. Joseph Clevenger
had rushed forward to protect his
daughter. but arrived to late. He
seized the murderer by the arm, but
Ern Clevenger, uttering horrible inn
precation. wrested himself free, and,
in the confusion, made his escape.
He was afterward found at the home
of a friend, arrested and taken to the
county Jail at Liberty.
