WON BY HIS WIT.

How Jim Poverty Made = Great Hit In
An Election.
Ready wit can get man out of al
most any kind of hole said the Wis
iting westerner to some of the boys at
the club.
Jim Poverty was a rapping y oung
lawyer when first went to Breakup
county. He was 5oviai, big hearted, al
ways ready with joke and very liable
to turn the tables on any one who
tackled him along this line. We knew
that he was not specially scrupulous.
but despite his shortcomings he was a
Eavorite. One fall he secured tie NOM
nation for prosecuting attorney, and
pitted against him was the only other
lawyer in our village, a conscientious
man, without any sense of bumor and
always in deadly earnest OF course
they had joint meetings, for westerners
insist upon these political tournaments.
AT one of these Jim's opponent was
nagged into anger and wound up his
speech by saying that he might not be
as brilliant as the OPPOSING candidate,
but he was honest with his clients and
had never taken a fee on both sides Of a
cage as Mr.. Poverty had done.
lit was expected that charge so
grave would call down a storm of def
ant abuse. but Jim came up smiling and
told a funny story just to relieve the
tension of tina crowd. Then he said;
Fellow citizens, Iagree in condemning
this practice of taking fee from both
parties to lawsuit. Something should
be done. l have often wished that
WAS pot tho only LAWYER in opr TOWN
but as long as / am no man shall apply
for my legal assistance in vain Here
the other candidate shouted that he was
in the same town, but this only added
to the fun, and the incident, as it flew
through the county, assured Jim rous-

The progress the leaves of the shade
trees have made within the last ten
days is simply marvellous. In spite
of the cold weather, the eopious rains
brought out an immense crop of leaves
in such an extremely short time as TO
make appear miraculous that the bare
limbed trees should have taken on
such a heavy coating within a very
few days. Many of the leaves are
fully grown, on maple trees. and the
sidewalks are shaded as deeply as
they are in midsummer.

PROVISIONAL GOVERNOR PORTU-

Former Public Administrator Chosen
in His Stead-Spanish Garrison in
the CarOIines Massacred.

HONG-KONG, Dec. 30.-The Filipino
junto has replied to the report of Commits
sioner Harden, who was sent to the Philip
pines by the government of the United
States to report on the conditions there
prevailing. The junto asked the Associated
Press to publish the following as revealing
the true situation and sentiment in the
Philippines:
1--WE deny that Aguinaldo will be satisfied
if made major general in command of five
native regiments, and that if this is done
the national army could be disarmed and
disbanded. We repeat our appeal for an inn
partial inquiry by an able commissioner, and
implore the American people to refrain from
a hasty decision. The Filipino government
views with alarm Commissioner Hardens
proposal to impose in America a high pro-
tective tariff against Philippine products.
''Iloilo surrendered to the national army,
which is the completion of the occupation
of the island of Panay. There is no truth
in the reported establishment of an opposi-
ton republic in the Visayas. All the Of
ficials in the VIsayas hold Aguinaldos COM
mission.
''The Filpinos are yearning for a peaceful
settlement of all questions. To their breth-
rem across the sea- the Filipinos send greet
ing and earnest prayer that with the new
year will come dawn of a new era of
peace, prosperity and good fellowship with
the free and beneficent people of the United
States. Though but an infant among ma
tions. yet we are strong if assured of the
good will of the great American nation"

MANIFESTO TO CUBANs.
Patriots Fought for Independence,
Not Annexation. 1t SaHs.


NEW YORK, Dec. GA dispatch to the
World from washington says: 1.-The Cuban
delegation to the United States has just pre-
pared and sent to Cuba an elaborate appeal
in circular form, to be widely distributed
to all natives to remember that they fought
for independence, and not for annexation.
The manifesto reviews the struggle to throw
off Spains tyranny and recounts the glories
of the victory, and refers to the action of
Congress in declaring that a stable govern
ment shall be established
"'If annexation were to be desired it
says, it would be better to have it brought
about now than later, and for that reason
it is desired that the question should be
settled finally at the present time Yet it
is sufficiently known that the Cubans made
war and fought for independence, not for
annexation, and that all the precious blood
that has been shed and all the hardships en-
dured and all the suffering were to gain
independence, and nothing short of that it
is ridiculous to try to answer the accusations
that the Cuban people are indolent, that
they are uneducated, unfaithful and unable
to govern themselves. Their industry, labor
and energy have made Cuba in many re-
spects one of the most productive countries
of the world. Their duty now is to stand by
the lone-star banner which signifies inde-
pendence and liberty the greatest blessings
of heaven. Remember that Cuba has not
fought and endured for a change of masters,
but that her people may be their own mas
ters. We are none the less grateful to the
people of the United States for their aid
and support and in doing what they have
done to free Cuba from Spain they have but
repaid the great debt which they owed to
humanity, justice and the right for the aid
they received from Lafayette and France
during their war for independence

CHARGED WITH FORGERY.
Frank A. Parker, Son of Wealthy Chi
cagOans, Arrested at New York.

NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-Frank A. Parker,
the son Of wealthy and influential residents
of Chicago, was arraigned in the Center
street Police Court to-day on charge of
forgery. Despite the prisoners connections,
the police say he is at the head of one of
the most dangerous gangs of forgers they
have come in contact with in years Captain
McCluskey says that Parker and Walter
Dixon, who was arrested two weeks ago,
are the two cleverest forgers that he has
ever met. The police first heard of the
gang when they attempted to pass check
for $721 drawn on the German-A American
Bank and bearing the signature of Schoenesi
Bros, tobacco dealers. So cleverly had the
signature been forged that they had no
difficulty in having the check certified by
the banks cashier. When first seen by the
firm the signature was pronounced genuine.
Dixon presented the check to the jewelry
store of Mrs. Lynch and purchased goods
worth $400 and rendered the certified check
in payment. She in some way became sus-
picious of the check and sent it down to
the bank, where it was said to be good. The
two detectives happened in at that juncture
and were asked about it. They questioned
Dixon and took him into custody Later the
forgery was discovered

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
COLUMBUS, Ga, Dec. 3O.-There was a
wild scene of enthusiasm in the camp of
the Hoosier regiment tonight owing to the
reception here of the following order: Pre-
pare at once One-hundred- nd-sixtieth Indi-
ana, Third Kentucky and Eighth Massachu-
setts for service in Cuba at earliest possible
moment" The order was received at divi-
sion headquarters at 5 o'clock 1t was
promptly forwarded to regimental COM
manders and made known to the Indiana
soldiers shortly after o'clock. The ebulli-
tions of joy fully equaled the wild scenes
of Chickamauga Park when news of the fall
of Santiago was received. Regimental bands
paraded the streets playing national airs,
followed by cheering men who were only
too anxious for a change, no matter what.
Colonel Gunder, who is in command of the
brigade, although quite i'll, left his bed and
joined in the enthusiasm which prevailed.
He will be relieved of duty as brigaoe com
mander and accompany his regiment to
Cuba.
Rush orders were sent to Atlanta by
Captain Daveny for 1O5,OOO field rations and
they will be loaded and leave there Sunday.
Captain David Bender, Company M,
Logansport, and Adjutant Levi L. Martz,
Bluffton, who are at home on leave, were
wired to report for duty in Cuba at once
by Lieutenant Colonel Keiger.
When news of the movement was re-
ceived every company was busily preparing
and decorating company streets with palms
and evergreens for New Years When the
band and men started to parade the New
Years green was used and each man, wildly
waving a bough, joined the procession. Off
GERS were forced to answer calls for
speeches.
Sibley tents have been issued to the regi-
ment to take the place of wall tents which
have been used by the regiments, both in
state service and as United States volun-
teers.
The First West Virginia, First Territor-
ial and Third Mississippi will be mustered
out in few days, leaving only the Second
Missouri in the division without orders. 1t
is stated that the Missouri regiment will be
ordered to Cuba shortly.
The Observation-Disclosures Indiana re-
ported tonight that it had 1,2O1 men and
officers ready for duty in Cuba.

What Sam Small Meant.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3O.--Chaplain Sam
Small, of the Third Volunteer Engineers
referring to his recent remarks concerning
army chaplains, says: What I really said
was sadly garbled in the boiling-down
process. I believe army chaplains can do
great good if provided with proper equip
ment in the way of tents, music, lights and
lumber for seats etc. I have no complaint
myself, because the officers and men in our
regiment have voluntarily helped provide
these things. But chaplains generally are
not so fortunate and it was for them
spoke when 1 said and repeat that unless
they are better outftted for work they had
better be omitted from the army scheme al
together"
