An interesting letter from Corporal
E. X. Cheadle of Co. / will be found
in this issue. 1t is beautifully de-
scriptive of the voyage to the Philip
pines, as well as logical and convinc-
ing as regards the disposition of the
islands. His views, from a closer OBJ
s~ervation of the situation will con-
vince many that it is manifest des-
tiny for the United States to hold on
to them. We believe Mr.. Cheadle has
made as good a defense of the policy
of expansion as has been presented of
late. This is likely to be a very live
issue two years hence.

the first part, and the lady was
warmly applauded. Miss Mabel
LathrOp sang i'm a sweet and pa
thetic manner 'It Don't Seem Like
Home Any More" my Gal Is a
High Born Lady" was pleasingly
rendered by j. K. Brown. "Sweet
Bunch of Pansies" gave Miss Stella
Mackey an opportunity to display
her flute-like voice.
In the second part Mesdames Waite
and Wright favored the audience
with a piano duet, which was well
received. w. III. Hooper amused the
audience with a comic song entitled
''The Poor Girl Couldn't Catch On"
Mr.. Hooper has a good baritone
voice. Mr.. John Kiddo. the light
ming sketch artist, amused the audi
ence by producing faces we see on
the street every day" He was quite
skillful with the pencil and kept the
audience laughing at his c~arricatures.
The Mahanas, Fergus county's mu-
ical family. showed unusual talent In
performing ON various Instruments.

ner a fancy skirt dance, and was fol-
lowed by E. C. Folmsbee in Irish
character songs, bringing down the
house by his clever work. Messrs.
Brown and Winans in the descriptive
duet entitled the sOutcast" sang and
acted their parts well. The double
clog by Frank Morrison and Nellie
Mahana. and Mr.. Redmond and his
harmonica, are worthy of mention.
Mr.. Winans is something of a come
dian himself, as was evidenced by his
cong, "I'm a Hop Fiend." in which
he appeared in the character of a
darby.
The entertainment was very credit
able for local talent. The solos and
choruses were excellent. The orches-
ira, under the leadership of Prof.
Bart Noble, would do credit to a
much older place than Lewistown.
Messrs. Winans and Brown an
nounce that they will commence at
once h rehearsal of "Pinafore,'' to
be given five or six weeks hence, and
the public can rest assured of a rich
treat. Our people have too little
amusement, owing to our isolated
condition. All lovers of music should
encourage these gentlemen in their
efforts to produce something good,
and there ia no sweeter little comic
opera than "Pinafarp." Careful Sc
lection should be made for the differ
ent characters and ample time taken
for rehearsals. LewistOwn is strictly
in 1t when it comes to home talent.

MINSTRELSY up TO DATE.
A Pleasing Entertainment Given the People OF
Lewistown Under the Direction of r1essrs.
Winans and Brown

An audience that filled every sea-
and occupied all of the standingroom
in Culver's hail listened to the enter
tainment rendered last Wednesday
evening by local talent. We, with
many Others, had some misgivings
when Messrs. Winans and Brown an
nounced some weeks ago that they
were going to give an entertainment
i'll the line of minstrelsy composed OF
home talent. Efforts in this direction
heretofore have not been a glaring
success from an artistic point of view
at least. But i'm the rapid growth of
Lewistown we overlook thefact that
mant talents that only awaited to be
utilized for the amusement of the
people. When the curtain rose on the
first part the sight was pleasing and
~reassuring. The arrangement of the
performers gave evidence that Mr..
Wlpaps was an adept at the business
and filled the audience with an ex-
pectancy that was to be fully real
lied before the entertainment closed.
The only criticism heard was the
length OF the program, which was
difficult to obviate when there were
SO many who had something to rem
der. While it will be impossible to
make individual mention of every one
who took part, we deem some feat
ures worthy of special mention. The
first part was especially pleasing;
the songs were taking and the Choir
Uses almost faultlessly rendered. The
end men were fairly good, there being
very few old jokes perpetrated. Ed
Folmsbe, NJ. Kelly Or. A. Hanke), j.
II. Bernier and Frank Morrison car
ried off the honors. Mr.. Folmsbee is
a comedian OF no meal order. His
characterization and singing were
both good and won merited ap-
plause. His singing of "Slide, Kelly,
Slide" was nearly up to the profess
sional mark. Art Brown sang in a
pleasing "A Mothers Appeal
to Her Boy" as did Miss Orpha
Noble the song entitled 'She Was
Bredin Old Kentucky" Mrs. w. w.
Badger sweetly sang "There'n Come
a Time" This was really the gem of

AFTER THE BATTLE.
A Red-Hot Contest. In Which the Republi
cans Make Nearly q Clean Sweep.

When Republicans awoke Tuesday
morning and found it showing, it
suggested to them a light vote and
consequent loss to their side, espe.
cially in the sparsely settled districts.
Before noon, however, word came
the skies were clearing and there
were good indications Of a heavy
vote. The storm proved to be con-
fined to the mountains, and soon
after noon the sun broke through the
clouds and shone at intervals upon
the struggling patriots in this pre-
cinct. A goOdly number of Republi-
cans and Democrats were at the poll
ing places early to watch each man
in the Inauguration of the contest.
After the usual delay to procure the
wherewith tn conduct the ballOting,
the polls were opened and the battle
of the ballots began. The Republi-
cans did their best work in the fore
noon, as was evidenced by the count
OF the ballots. While their oppon-
ents worked hard all day, they made
their best showing late in the after
noon and it became evident that the
result would be close. There was
about an even break as regards can
didates, although the Democrats got
the best of it on sheriff in both pre-
cincts, as they also did on clerk and
recorder and assessor. Thomas
c. Marshall, Republican candidate
for congress, carried the town
by % majority, and s. s. HobsOn, for
state senator, won out by 10 major
ity. ID. A. MeaglIer, F. Z. Smith,
Miss PEBBLES and q. NJ. Stafford have
maiorities.
The returns from Gilt Edge had
some surprises. 1t was thought the
gold camp would make a stronger
showing against the Republicans all
along the line. Stanford did not
keep up it's reputation for handsome
Republican maiorities, while Utica
must stand as the banner precinct of
the county, a great change from two
years ago.
Elsewhere will be found the result
in tabulated form, so far as received.

The Result

AS we go to press nothing definite
is known of the result in the state,
though there is little doubt of the
election OF Campbell, Democratic can
didate for congress. The news from
the country generally is favorable to
b Republicans. Roosevelt will be
the next governor of New York, and
congress will be Republican by a safe
majority.
Locally the Republicans will elect
the entire county ticket, with the X
ception of sheriff.

companying the carriage. The carriage
belonged to the state department and
General Lee was driven at once to the
department, presumably to report his
arrival, and receive any instructions
II might have.
Word had gone through the depart
ment that he was due to arrive, and the
corridors in front of the secretary's s
door was jammed with people, and as
General Lee stepped from the elevator
in front of the secretary's door, the
crowd gave three rousing cheers which
rang through the building. General Lee
bowed his recognition to the crowd and
was Immediately ushered into the Sec
retarys room. The enthusiasm
throughout the building was tremen-
dous, and the cheers drew an enormous
throng to the corridors General Lee
remained in the building only a few
minutes, quickly departing. accompan-
led by Secretary Sherman and Assistant
Secretary Day, for the White House.
The state department at once tele-
phoned the senate to arrange for Gen.
eral Lees appearance before the for
eign relations committee.
The ovation was repeated as Lee
went over ITOii the stdtt Impairment 10
the White House. A mounted bicycle
boy had preceded the carriage carry
ing a large Cuban flag, and this served
to stimulate the enthusiasm displayed
along the drive to the White House
portico. At the railroad station, when
General Lee arrived. the crowd was i'm
mense and exceedingly enthusiastic.
The information comes from conf
Dental and reliable authority. that not

to the senate foreign relations commit

to relieve the Fern, which was used to

attached to the mine.

He also expressed a determination TO
lead the Illinois column. and for that
purpose would not refuse a commission
from the president. Governor Tanner
was given to understand the graft
tude In which the president held bis
offer and was promised that the request
would not be forgotten when the time
came to ask for assistance.
While no intimation was given as 70
the result Of the conference the gov
ernor was quite plain In his belief that
war would ensue, but probably not this
week and maybe not next. The state
ment has reached here from Washing
ton that when troops are called for but
two regiments will be taken from H.
linois on the first call: the others to be
drawn on from time to time as the oc-
casion may demand. 1t is semi official
ly stated at headquarters that IL this
order is to prevail the First and Second
regiments of Chicago will be sent to the
frcnt on the first call. These regiments
are located within Chicago, are easy Of
access and can be started east quicker
than any other command and at far
less expense. other regiments easy Of
access will be started TO the seat Of
trouble on the second call.
1t Is also stated that after the first
call for troops has been received here
the entire national guard will be mobil-
lied at Camp Lincoln. The troops will
then be at hand and can be started
east inside of an hours notice. Adju>

MASSACRE OF CUBANs.
Fifty Reconcentrados Slaughtered by the
Spaniards.

Spaniards.
st. Louis, April 13.-A special dis
patch from Key West says: News has
reached Havana of the massacre of
fifty reconcentrados at Escambra. Per-
mission was given the reconcentrados
in Santa Clara to return to their de-
vastated homes. They issued from the
city and camped at Escambra, erecting
palm huts. Trusting the Spaniards,
they began anew the struggle for ex-
istence. To escape starvation the fugi-
tives killed several head of cattle out
Of drove of hundreds which the Span
iards have never been able TO take to
the towns, so closely are they guarded
by the insurgents.
This was made the pretext for mas
sacre, and Thursday night troop of
Spaniards dashed into the camp, rode
down the fleeing men and women and
slashed them to death. few escaped
into the woods, but fifty were killed and
many more wounded. The reconcen-
trados are now without hope. They be-
lieve that the Spaniards' promises were
but a plot TO inveigle them into the
fields SO that they might be slaughy

Full of Good Cheers.

It is the business of a commissary in an
army to see that the men in his charge
have enough to eat, but when commits
sary is a fghter-and this uncommon
thing sometimes happens-his large house
hold fares very much as some smaller ones
do when the cook, general girl, house
keeper and mother has poetical or political
aspirations.
Such commissary was one in the Con-
federate service In the civil war, and an
incident which took place during the seven
days fight below Richmond is told IN
Southern Soldier Stories. -
Instead of attending to his pork and
meal wagons in the rear, he went to the
front. There he was active to degree
that commanded the respect of his general
He interested himself SO much in the
movements of troops and in the contro-
versy with the enemy that he forgot all
about the wagons
= In this service he had his right arm shot
off by cannon ball.
When night came and the men wanted
something to eat, there was good deal of
growing, but when the story was told of
how their commissary had fought and how
he had lost an arm in the fighting one Of
the soldiers, fellow with more humor
than appetite, got up and cried:
Il move that we sup on three cheers and
a tiger for the commissary that fghts'
The three cheers were cheerfully given,
and there was no other supper that night.
