OUR BOYS ARE HEROES.

Tle Rough Riders" have had theil first taste of war. In the environs o1
 Santiago Thursday morning a portior
 of this famous regiment with a body oi regulars fought double their number
 of Spaniards and drove the enemy
 from the field. The fight was not wor
 without serious loss. In the list ol
 killed and wounded appear names well
 known here. Major Brodie and Cap
 tain McClintock of Arizona were
 wounded. Captain Allyn K. Capror
 of Troop L. a dashing young officer
 who has relatives in Arizona, and sev-
 eral privates from the southwest, were
 killed. Hamilton Fish, Jr., one of the
 young New Workers who joined the Rough Riders, was killed. He was the son of Hamilton Fish, the we'll known republican leader of New York. The dispatches to The Republican indicate
 that many who were wounded are likely to die. Naturally the people ot
 the southwest are anxious for the de-
 tails which come slowly by reason of
 the isolation of the troops. The Re- publican will keep them advised to the extent of it's ability.
 Sorrow for the brave boys who fell. and for their loved ones, will be tenn pered by the thought that they gave up their lives in a righteous cause. and that in the hour of peril they ex- hibiteG true courage. Here were comparatively raw troops fighting trained campaigners who possessed the advantage of superior position and complete knowledge of the country. Our dispatches show that the Ameri- cans displayed the greatest valor. In the face of nerve trying conditions they never wavered. Brodie and Nc Clintock were in the thick of the fight. We can only hope that their wounds will not prove serious.
 War, as General Sherman said, is hell. Up to the last few days our troops have been in no serious danger. This has been naval war until now. From this time on the army will be face to face with death The friends of our brave boys in Cuba will have their heart strings wrung day by day. The Spaniards are not to be extermi- mated from Cuba without many bit ter fight. The lesson taught by this is that cur troops should be sufficient in numbers to make the contests as short as possible. Fewer lives will be lost in movements in force" than in the kind of fighting that has been going on since our brave ma- rines landed at Guantanamo.

We shall not attempt to follow the Herald into the mire of personalities. The Republican opposed the ambition of the Herald's editor to be Indian agent at Sacaton on the ground of un- fitness. He was not appointed. The incident is closed SO far as this newspaper is concerned
 By the way, our assertion still re- mains uncontradicted-that the editor of the Herald less than two months ago endeavored to bring about the coalition of the Herald and Gazette. What a fine democratic sheet such a combination would have createdI

From con- troversy with an antagonist like Pro- lessor Huxley he was sure to come with wounds. Yet his masterful in- f1uence over minds of every class is a certain fact It was once said by somebody that Gladstone could per suade anybody to anything-himself included" and the epigram carries, no doubt, significant truth.

The Gazette is not blowing about itf circulation, but it's readers are found on the two continents. Today an ad- mirer of it's columns addressed US from Moravia, Austria-Gazette
 Why "blow" about something that has no existence? As to that Moravia admirer, imagine his feelings when he discovers that the Gazette of yesterday failed to print a word about the great light at Santiago, in which some of our boys were killed or wounded,

The Rough Riders," by reason of their fame are certain to be called on often for aid in the subju- gation of the Dons. They are supposed to be peculiarly adapted to the kind of fighting the Dcns delight in. We doubt if any of our boys are fond of bushwhacking, but they may be depended upon to obey orders. The Arizona contingent is right in it," so far as this war is concerned.

Arizona was the first of the political divisions to organize her quota of troops and send them forward. The Arizona troops were the first of Gen eral Shafter's expedition to go against the enemy. Arizona may not be en- titled to statehood or the decent con- slderation of the statesmen at Wash lngton, but the glory of being first on the Santiago battle field, and Of driy- ing the Spaniards into their defenees cannot be denied her. The country is bound to have better opinion of Ari- zona when this war is over.

Jim" McClintock may have been a little arbitrary" in the early days of his enlistment but he was on hand when the fighting began and now he lies in hospital with a Mauser bullet wound in his leg. These arbitrary people are apt to be around when bull lets are flying. We take off our hat to Mac" and trust that the surgeons will soon put him in fighting trim again.

All of which substanti- ates our claim that the enterprising morning newspaper is the newspaper of the people.

HARVEST DRINKS.
An Outsider Is Supplying Them Instead
of Home Concerns.

A Minneapolis man. representing
West Superior liquor house, is driving
through the country selling whisky
and wine in packages of gallon or
more and bottled beer to farmers to
use during the harvest. He is said
to have'made sales aggregating S175
one day. He sells from samples and
has the packages sent from his house,
thus avoiding the necessity of taking
out a license to retail. The sales
have cut off the trade of the retailers
of Mankato and surrounding towns,
and they are complaining loudly.
One of the local dealers consulted
Deputy Internal Revenue Collector
French, of Redwood Falls. who ad-
vised that warrant be gotten out
for the agents arrest. Nothing has
been done yet, and it is not certain
that any law is being violated in the
letter, although it undoubtedly is in
the spirit, as the county ought to
have the benefit of the license. The
agents present headquarters are in
Mankato.

to Come Down.
J. Fl. Michels, who has purchased
the old warehouse on Jackson street,
near his barn, of Geo. T. Barr, assignee,
intends to fit it up for storage pur-
poses. He at first had intended to
tear it down, but on looking it over
the past few days has found 1t in bet
ter condition than he had supposed,
and will simply take off the wings
and leave the main portion where it
is now located. This is the building
that the council ordered condemned,
as being unsafe to adjoining property.
Mr.. Michels now owns all of the ad-
joining property between the railroad
track and the alley. including his
barn, and does not consider the ware
house, as he will fix it up, to be
dangerous. The burning out of the
other old frame structures in the
vicinity. and the removal of the wings
or lean-tos, will make the neighbor
hood much safer than it has been.

ANOTHER FIRE.
West MankatO Suffers Loss
This Time.
Alfred DanieIson's Barn Destroyed and
His Family Driving Horse
Suff0cated.

Fire consumed barn and a horse
in West Mankato Friday after
noon. Alfred Danielson. who travels
for the Singer Sewing Machine Co.,
leases the Scott Dodge place at No.
1006 LIE Sueur street. Mr.. Danielson
was in 50. Peter yesterday afternoon,
and Mrs. Danielson used the horse
and buggy, returning home at shortly
before five o'clock. She put the horse
in the barn and went through the
barn, seeing that everything was all
right.
At about half past five o'clock, San
ford Billings noticed smoke issuing
from the barn and gave the alarm h e
went in to try to save the horse, but
only succeeded in cutting the animal
loose as the smoke was so dense that
he was barely able to get out him
self and was nearly overcome. The
horse got as far as the door and then
was overcome by suffocation and fell
down.
The barn was entirely consumed, as
was also shed adjoining. The car
riages and sleighs were saved, but
hay, feed, ETC., went up with the
barn. There was no insurance on
anything, and Mr.. Dodge's loss will
be 5000 to $500, and Mr.. Danielson's
loss $1OOsto S125. The fire depart
ment was called out, but was unable
to do much. The wind was away
from the house, but sparks were car
ried to Ogle & Davis addition.
1t is not known how the fire started
but it is strongly suspected to be the
work of an incendiary. 1t started
near the entrance, across from where
the horse was, and was we'll under
way when discovered.

DAMAGED BY FIRE.
Sheds, Wheat and Hay on the Bradley
Farm Burned.

A fire swept over portion of G.. M.
Bradley's farm, four miles north of
the city, Thursday afternoon, doing
considerable damage. Two acres of
wheat in the shock. twenty tons of
hay and some sheds were burned, in
f1icting loss of 5000, with no insur-
ance. Only the fact that the wind
was blowing strongly away from the
big barn saved that structure, as the
sheds were close to it. The neigh
bors turned out to aid in subduing
the flames, and after much hard work
they were finally gotten under con-
troll.
1t is not known definitely how the
fire started. Mr.. Bradley was sick in
the wouse at the time. The Bradley
farm is one of the best on the St.
Peter road, and is frequently visited
by Mankato people.

The Knights of Pythias picnic at
Lake Emily Friday was attended
by over 100 people from St. Peter, and
more than that from Mankato, and a
contingent from LeSueur. The Man
kato people arrived at the lake at

dancing and pitching quoits were in
dulged in.

SCORPIONS BITE.
W. W. Phalen's Adventure With
the Deadly Insect.
Gets His Thumb Next to the Business
End of Central American
Terror.

W. w. Phalen. the South Front
street grocer, was bitten by
scorpion at noon Saturday. He had.a
bunch OF bananas hanging up in front
OF his store, partly sold, and reached
up to pick off some more of the fruit
for a customer, when he was stung by
the venomous insect. The scorpions
needle like tail struck him in the
feshy part of his thumb, and the
poison had strong effect upon him
almost instantly, resembling a severe
shock. He at once tied a piece of
string tightly around his thumb, and
went to DR.. Dahrs Office and had the
wound cauterized. The thumb below
the string swelled up and looked
black with white spots, but above the
string there was no swelling, and no
bad effects followed the poisoning
within the time in which danger is
to be apprehended.
The scorpion was killed, but before
this could be done it jumped foot or
two high. 1t is between two and
three inches long and an ugly looking
looking customer. 1t is fortuna tie for
Mr.. Phalen that he had his presence
of mind with him, as the bite of the
scorpion is deadly unless prompt
treatment is received. The SEQ rpion
in this case was living in about the
middle of the bunch of bananas, and
had remained there through all of
the handling that the bunch had had
since it was picked.

A Suspicious Find.

When Fred Westhoff's delivery boy
went to put the horses up at seven
O'Clock last evening, he discovered a
piece of burned wrapping paper in the
oat box. 1t had been crumpled up
and set on fire and evidently thrown
through the open window over the
oats box, where it burned itself out.
Had there been haylathere, the BARI
would probably have taken fire. The
paper was thrown there sometime
during the afternoon. The barn is
located On the alley back of Mr.. West
hoff's general store on North Front
street, and the window faces the
alley.
