arrived here today and brought
the first news of a severe engage
ment between Spaniards and Am
orleans near Manila. The attack
was made by the Spanish on the
American camp between Cavite
and Manila during the night of
July 81. The Spanish forces
numbering over 5000 men made
several desperate charges upon
the American lines but each time
the fire of the American troops
drive the Spaniards back and fl
nally broke the, Spanish center and
the enemy retreated. Later the
Spaniards made a second attack
but were again repulsed and re-
treated into the bush keeping up
an incessant fire on the road lead
ing to Manila over which they
apparently expected the American
troops to advance. The fight
lasted four hours, the Spanish loss
was upward of 20O killed and 300
wounded. Our volunteers made
a glorious defense. Our loss was
8 killed and AZ wounded. 80 of
the AZ are but slightly wounded.

One woman's Good Work.

A good true story is told of San Francisco woman and doctor with conscience. The doctor performed suo- cessful operation fora rich woman and when asked for his bill presented one for $50. The lady smiled and said, Do you consider that reasonable charge, considering my circumstances" The doctor replied: "That is my charge for that operation. Your circumstances have nothing to do with it. The lady drew check for $500 and presented it to him. He handed 1t back, saying: "I cannot accept this. My charge for that operation is $5o.' Very we'll, the lady replied. "Keep the check and put the balance to my credit" Some months after she received lengthy itemized bill, upon which were entered charges for treatment of various kinds. rendered to all sorts of odds and ends of human ity, male and female, black and white, who had been mended at her expense. She was so delighted at it that she i'm mediately placed another check for $500 to her credit on the same terms, and it is now being earned in the same way.

And He Did.

A woman's club that invested in 8 clubhouse not long ago was much against its will obliged to employ male labor The architect was woman, but it was found impossible to procure women carpenters and masons and plas- terers and the rest. One day shortly be-
 fore the completion of the edifice a workman who was employed upon the roof made misstep and thrust his foot through the beautiful but not yet dried ceiling of the auditorium. Just at this time, too, number of club members chanced to be in the building and their emotions at sight of the pedal extremity pendant from the ceiling may be better imagined than described. The man was eventually rescued and the hole mended,
 but the patch still shows upon the ceil- ing. As the first vice president put it.
 Well, knew that if man had any thing to do with this club he'd be sure to put his foot in it. New York Sun.

 "When first came here,' said Miss Serber to a reporter, q wanted to study medicine, but then changed my mind and studied law. l entered the law school of the University of the City of New York and was graduated from there in 1896. Admission to the bar re- quires that one shall have studied in a lawyers office, and have studied in the offices of Miss Loew and Mir. David Solomon.
 "No, do not know that I shall take np any special branch of law at present. What I hope to do later is to study medicine and then make speciality of jurisprudence. At present shall open ap office down town. D
 Miss Serber speaks English fiuently, with just the least trace of an accent, which adds to the pleasure of listening to her. She has brother who graduat- ed at the Columbia School of Mines year or two ago, and is now employed in the department of public works, and a sister who is studying at the Normal college.

Nroreen For Underskirts.

Common sense has brought us new and excellent moreen for underskirt fab rication that is as thick and soft as satin and is oharmingly decorated in all the best plaid combinations. For walking it's advantages are manifold, and as it comes double width it can be cut in the new pattern-that is. with but two seams, running down either hip. The shape of this skirt demands that it be cut crosswise of the material, and be- cause of its peculiar shape it fits as snug as a yoke about the hips, but flares com fortably and gracefully at the foot. Such a moreen skirt stands the hardest wear and is trimmed usually with founces of its own goods or plaid silk.

A GOLDEN FOAM.


Like golden foam upon a waving sea
of green,
The golden rod is flashing DER the
plains,
Each wave that rolls before the warm
midsummer wind
Is crested with the summers hoard
ed grains.
Like FURNISHED brass the stubi e
fields lie broad and bare,
Their gathered largess heeped in
mounds of gold,
The skirting fields of prairie hay and
ripping corn
Are crammed with harvest riches
yet untold.
The tossing tassels of the sun-glanced
ranks of corn,
Are crusted with yellow sitting
rust,
That shaken by the wind become a
golden mist,
And falls to gild and glorify the
dust.

Camilla Urso will be heard the
coming winter in the vaudeville thea
ter. This fine artist has given of her
best to musical audiences for years,
and now if she can do aught to elevate
the taste of the great masses, the
work would not be ignoble. But it
is doubtful il they listen at all intelli-
gently.
A young Italian priest, Don Lorenza
Perosi, has composed some wonderful
oratorios. The Resurrection of Lar
arus,' and the TRANSPORTATION" are
both said to show amazing technical
skill combined with intense dramatic
feeling and sentiment. These WORKS
have been given eight times during
the summer heat at Venice, and each
repetition the opera house was report

prestige in the musical world through
the brilliant work of her many gifted
young composers.

A business man of this city, with his
family, left for Petosky, Mich, Thurs
day evening, where he went for the
relief of hay fever with which he is
annually afflicted. Before leaving he
requested all the papers in town not TO
mention his departure for reasons per-
sonal to himself. The Democrat COM
piled with the request, but the Repub-
lican and Independent both violated a
promise, We are informed, not to men
tion his going away, by publishing the
facts in their daily editions the same
evening about the time he got out Of
town.-DemOcrat
The party referred to by the Demo
crat is furniture dealer. 1t is true
that this man made the request not tC
mention his leaving, but it is also true
that he changed his mind just before
departing, giving his consent to the
item. He added that he had made sucf
business arrangements that it did mo-
matter if the public generally knew OF
his absence.
The Independent always caters tt
the desires of the individuals interested
in such matters.

Death of Chas, T.. KOontz.

The news of Charles f. KoontZ's
death was the absorbing topic every
where in Plymouth Tuesday. Mr..
Koontz was very popular in this county
and thousands will mourn his sudden
demise. Monday evening be and Geo.
Fogle and VIM. Young were fishing at
Maxenkuckee. On the way to the lake
from tbs place he exhibited no signs of
sickness. About eight o'clock while on
the water with his two companions he
complained of feeling bad, saying that
his stomach was out of order. Shortly
afterwsrd he went to land and sat
down on the pier When Mr.. Young
asked him what the matter was, he said
he felt sleepy. Mr.. Young returned to
this city on the ten o'clock train never
dreaming but what his friend was only
temporarily indisposed. Geo. Fogle
also looked on his trouble as only trivial.
About eleven CLOCK MIR. koontZ found
comfortable bench. as he seemed to
be reposing calmly ne was left alone
for the space of an hour when they re,
turned and found him dead. The body
of the deceased was brought from
Maxenkuckee Tuesday.
The funeral took place Wednes-
day afternoon. A surprising num-
ber turned out to pay their last
respects. Rev. Grob pronounced an
eulogy in German over the remains.
Rev. Smith made few remarks in
English Pallbearers were as follows:
w. F. Young, James DeLona, Lew
Suit, Z. Thompson, F. Nicalay and
Geo. Fogle. The remains were inferred
in Oak Hill.
Chas. Koontz was born in the house
now occupied by Mrs. Quinn, facing
the Vandalia track just north of the
Washington school house. His parents
are Henry Koontz, formerly butcher
in this city, and Margeret Koontz who
is still among the living. Chas. will be
remembered by many as barber. He
learned his trade of Will Young and
worked in the Young barber shop for a
number of years. When he left Plym.
outh he was one of the members of a
show band which made its way south
After reaching Memphis, Tenn, he
abandoned the show aud settled down
to an industrious life. About three
months ago he came to his old home in
Plymouth and lived in Marshall county
until he died. Charles was a man
who possessed a liberal and loving
heart. He made friends wherever he
went. The public in general sympa
thize with the bereaved mother, brother
and sisters and join them III the sen
timent
"He Is not dead. he does not sleep.
He is awakened from the dream of life.
Tis we who linger here and keep
With worldly things, an Improbable strife.
From the vile contagion of this world he is secur
And never shall he live to mourn a hear

Oglesbee is Judge Advocate.

Lieut.. Rollo Oglesbee has had a
varied experience since he first left
Plymouth for Washington, ID. g., and
the Southern military posts. We now
hear of him as judge advocate at New
port News. His former profession as
lawyer well fits him for this position.
When he last wrote to his family he
had tried eleven cases. His adventures
have been equal to that of any veteran.
He mingles with his men and helps
share the common accidents. Among
the accidents he recounts for his share
kick from a mule and a fall from a
bridge. He has not yet suffered any
serious injuries however.
