fighting is over they are anxious
to get get back to civilian life.
Many left lucrative positions
which a prolonged absence may
lose for them altogether. But
what has been won must be held
and we are under moral obliga-
tons to maintain order in the new
ly acquired territory. 1t is evil
dent then that the regular army
is sadly inadequate for the pur-
pose, so the war department
must necessarily depend upon
volunteer organization. Orders
have already been issued that no
more be mustered out, which
leaves about 10000 volunteers
in the service. While the final
determination has not yet been
made, it appears probable that
about $4,000, or perhaps from
$4,000 to 90. 900 troops will be
assigned to Cuba, from 900 to
$4,000 to Porto Rico, from a.
900 to $4,000 to the Philippines,
and from 5000 to 4,ooe to
Hawaii, The numbers may be
varied by special necessities.

A man in New York now tro,s
into public notice with a confess
sion that he has half a hundred
wives. Probably the Tribune
can utilize this fellow as a subject
for its cartoon in the future when
political candidates are not
numerous. The Utah Presbytery
might find in this an excuse for an
extra session and a more lengthy
address.
The Lehi banner. [volume] (Lehi, Utah) 1891-1917, 1898-10-04

The fact that this years cam
paign in Utah is not fight made
on principles of the parties but is
being made dirt throwing CON
test against opposing candidates
by Salt Lake dailies, is going to
make the result doubtful and
mixed. A people does not relish
having their religious beliefs held
up to ridicule in order that a
political clique or party may gain
supremacy.

Rationale Takes TO the Water and
Attacks Two Boatmen.
A rattlesnake, though often found In
haunts near a rocky stream, Is essen
TALLY land snake. and 1t has not been
generally supposed before that one
would take to the water under any cir
cumstances, but "A certain Detroit
sportsman has seen a RATHER do that
very thing. and is willing to youch for
the truth of the following story;
ut was late In the afternoon of a
beautiful day In the early fall of 1896.
and | aud Masters, the guide, one of
that small tribe of backwoodsmen who
make 1t their life's work TO engineer the
fishing trips of rich men who appear
there each season as regularly as the
trout. whose face is as well known TO
Au Sable fishermen as the very turns
and camping places of the river, had
begun TO keep sharp eye out fof the
| familiar rapids which tell Of the clear
ed spot used as n camping place for
the first night of the trip. Masters was
in the bow of our boat, one of those Gu

where else In the world but on the Au
Sable, with his long oak steering pole
keeping us In middle of the stream. and
| was in the stern holding the lines,
when heard a whirr of wings and an
exclamation from my guide, and look
Ing up just caught glimpse of some
large bird. presumably an eagle as
those great birds are by no means rare
In Northern Michigan, just disappear
Ing over the tops of the giant trees. AS
our eyes remained fastened ON the
bunch of tall grass from which the bird
seemed TO have risen ut the noise of our
approach, we were startled TO hear IA
sudden splash and see n commotion In
the water of the dark pool between us
and the shore.
THE next moment | saw what | took
TO be an enormous water snake skim
ming as swift as lightning over the sur
face of the water toward the skin. and
almost In second, before | could even
grab paddle TO strike at the reptile,
his ugly head was over the gnnwale.
But Masters at the first splash had lift
ed his paddle from the water, aud now,
quick as flash. he swung 1t around
with terrific force and struck the gllst-
ening body just as II was In the air
from the force of its spring to clear the
side of the boat lie knocked his snake
ship across to the shore from which he
had started. We kept on our course
down the current for about ten yards,
then we decided TO turn back, as Mas
tiers was anxious To find out the exact
length of such an extraordinary water
snake. So we padded up stream with
considerable labor 10 the spot where the
reptiles body had struck. And what
was our surprise to find that our assail-
ant was a 0-foot rattlesnake. aud with
eight full rattles ON his tall
