Dated at Bismarck, N. d., this 18th
day of August. 1898.
The Pioneer Press speaking Of
the close of the war says:
1.-THE war is over. It's results
justify it even to those who de
precated it. 1t has united the
nation as it has never been unit
ed before, effacing internal differ
ences and fusing the North and
the South in the fires of q COM
mon patriotism. It has raised
the republic to a higher rank
among the nations. It has made
the flag respected in every sea.
1t has furnished to the world an
object lesson of our potential
military and naval power. The
state Of unpreparedness in which
we were found at the outbreak of
hostilities taught a much-needed
lesson. Having to deal with
decrepit, bankrupt Spain pow
erful navy and a large army were
not necessary. Yet we made up
for our weakness in the vigor of
our preparations, which in eighty
days enlarged our skeleton army
to 231, 900 men. But far more
than this: The splendid efici-
ency of our seamen and of the
few disciplined soldiers we could
hurry to the front, their splendid
fighting qualities and the many
examples of individual heroism
they furnished set the standard
for the world. Yet the fact that
we have won an unbroken sue
cession of victories over weak
Spain has not blinded the coun-
try to the necessity of a stronger
navy and army and a disciplined
militia.
The war, too, has had the re.
suit OF bringing England to our
side. In the first week of the
war her powerful friendship
deferred the other powers from
siding with Spain. 1t now de-
ters them from meddling in the
Philippines. The cordial amity
that has sprung up between the
two great English-speaking
nations is one of the wars most
priceless results.
In a little more than a hundred
days the war has freed from tho
baleful rule of Spain all her
ancient colonies in the Western
hemisphere and in the Asiatic
Orient. To us it has given a new
field for our trade and industry
and islands upon which to plant
in the neighboring seas the need
ed outposts of defense. 1t has
given us the key to commercial
ascendancy in China and South
America. It has exalted the
mission of the republic and
widened it's sphere of inter-
national influence, And all this
has been accomplished at the ex.
penditure of little effort, in the
midst of unusual prosperity.
Indirectly, the war has demon
strated the vital necessity of a
sound financial policy, while the
larger responsibilities it brings
have shown the need of wise and
broader statesmansh;n

The following is resolution of the
Presbytery of Corning with reference to
the Rev. j. f. Hinkhouse done in Pres
bytery at Shenandoah on April Goth, 1898
The Presbytery of Corning in granting
the Rev. j. F. Hinkhouse letter of
dismissal to the Presbytery of Council
Bluffs hereby records their very high
appreciation of his character as a chris
tan and his eminent ability and useful
ness as a minister of the gospel.
He was charter member of the Pres
hytery of Corning and during the time,
from it's organization until his disrais-
sion this day, has most efficiently served
the Presbytery as Stated clerk.
He was chairman of the committee of
for year as chairman of the Home
Mission committee.
At LenoX, which church he served TO
eight years, the Lords people were
greatly strengthened in every good work
giving largely to the Boards of the
church, besides charging their church
building and securing parsonage. His
work also extended to the neighboring
fields, he having been instrumental in
the organization of the church at Prairie
Chapel and the erection of their build
ing and the church building at Conway.
We assure him of our high esteem and
that our prayers shall follow him in his
new field of labors. We most earnestly
commend him to the Presbytery of
Council Bluffs and are confident that
the Lords work will prosper under his
ministry. E. w. BROWN,
Stated Clerk.

Last Saturday Henry Johnson Clar-
ence Drake, Sam Anderson, Irv Jones
and Lewis Grevsmuhl left here for Des
Moines with the intention of trying to
get into the militia. Quite a number
were at the depot to see them off and
some patriotic airs were played by the
band and Spain was properly denounced.
On reaching Atlantic we understand
Anderson was the only one who left at
once for Des MONIES. In day or two
Grevsmuhl came back here. Nothing
definite has since been heard of the other
three so it is supposed they have gone
on to Des Moines. We hope their
patriotism will be sustained and
that they will obtain the chance to
enlist that they seek.

some who predicted unhappiness and dissen-

AS soon as the engagement was made pub
lie DR.. Clouser began the construction of a
residence at a cost OF SIS. Co., TO be ready in
time for occupancy by the beautiful child
wife he was TO bring home from Muncie. 1t
was fitted in magnificent style. The fur
nishings throughout were OF the costliest
kind and DR.. Clouser seemed to take a child
ish delight in spending his money that his
bride might be pleased with her surround
ings. Nothing that fancy could suggest or
money could purchase was omitted TO make
her new home a model OF taste elegance and
comfort. A splendid equipage, with blooded
horses and liveried servants was added TO
the establishment and then Dr. Clouser de-
cided all was in readiness for the wedding
Sept. 20 the wedding took place in this
city, and it was the social vent of many
years for both Muncie and Hartford. Every
one who could attended the ceremony, and
the subsequent reception and feast at the
new home OF the nonogenarlan and his child
wife were the talk of both cities for months
Crowds roamed through the beautiful home
admiring its tasteful and elegant furnish
lngs and decorations. The happiest of lives
was predicted for the bride by her girl
friends. and the male guests congratulated
the old doctor on securing such a budding
beauty for a wife. The wedding gift Of the
groom to the bride was q, 900.

old physician is a grandfather.
He had amassed a considerable fortune
upward of 100000 in money and prop
erty-and it was supposed that in the
natural course of events he would soon
pass away gracefully, leaving his rich
es to his heirs. But Clouser had differ
ent plans. The blood seems to still run
warm in his veins, unchilled by the
march Of years.
Last year in the early summer Dr.
Clouser was called to Muncie to attend
a patient In the family of william
Schick. There he found in attendance
upon his patient a rosy-checked little
girl of sixteen in the role of nurse
She was Rose Dill, the doctor learned,
and the Schick family was amused to
notice the interest which the old ply
sician took in the pretty little nurse
girl. During his stay in Muncie he
talked with her much of the time and
asked her all about her family, her
schooling, why she took up nursing
and other questions which indicated
that he was deeply interested in her
history and ambitions. At that time
1t was thought the doctor had taken

to the child, on account of her pretty
face and modest ways, but when, after
returning to this city at the close Of
his professional visit, he again went to
Muncie and sought out Rose, 1t caused
some little comment. People in Muncie
began to think things. They observed
that the old doctor was not so old as
he might be, and that heirs might yet
be fooled in their expectations of get
ting his fortune
Dr. Clouser made no secret OF the object of
his many visits to Muncie. He took Rose
driving and made her presents, appeared on
the streets with her and in every way con-
Quoted himself as man seventy years
younger might have done had he sought to
win the favor and the heart OF the pretty
nurse girl. Finally both cities were thrown
Into ferment OF gossip and all the talk
which had been rather under cover was veri-
fed when the announcement of the engage
ment OF the couple was made or course
everybody said something about December
and May" or quoted the old saw about rather
being AN old mans darling than a young
mans slave" But while there was stern
criticism from some quarters over the dis

many girls both IN Hartford and Muncie who
envied Rose Dill the fortune and the happy
life of ease and luxury which seemed to be
