yet they displayed considerable mus

Wa-Keeney, delivered the grafton.
His congratulations were many. His
theme: s.War as an Agency in Human
Progress was backed up by past and
present history. John handled the
subject well-Hill City Reyeille.
On Thursday, DIR. Jones' foreman
drove into town with a load OF timo-
thy and clover raised on the doctors
farm south of town. The sight was
appreciated by all our brave pioneers
who left the meadow lands of Iowa
and Illinois as it gives promise of the
yet undeveloped possibilities of west
ern Kansas. All honor to those pro-
gressive men who lead out to show
what this country can do. Let us
hope that, in a few years, timothy
and clover will not be such curiosity
on our streets.

General Shafter, commander of the
q. S. military forces surrounding San
tiago, writes that he is master of the
situation. Last Friday and Saturday
desperate fighting occurred and the
Americans lost heavily, but they
stormed the redoubts and outposts
about the city, rushing over the dy-
ing and the dead and sweeping the
living from their path. Skaters ar
my now occupies all the heights and
his cannon can be trained upon the
doomed city on every side.
A limited interval has been granted
for the foreign cOnsuls and all nom
combatants to withdraw. The Span
ish governor says he cannot surrender
the city and go back to Spain because
the results of the war thus far have
been so miSrepresented in Spain that
he and his men would be in danger of
the fury of the mob. Every few days
the Madrid papers proclaim new and
glorious victories, and all fear the re-
suit when the populace become ac-
quainted with the bitter and terrible
truth.
Some political gossip is beginning
to start around town. The populiSts
talk of getting new man for represen-
tative-perhaps w. G. Olson, f. G..
Swiggett, or Joshua Musgrave. The
objection to the present man is
that he doesn't know enough to act
in that capacity. Attorney Hutzel
will be renominated although some
have urged A. III. Cox for the place.
George Washington Tunnel will be
renominated as no one else wants to
be sacrificed. The matter of super
intendent is receiving more serious
attention owing to the Importance of
the position. Any old fool will do to
rattle around for probate judge and
the minor offices, but the pops are
smart enough to know that the school
affairs must not be permitted to go to
the bow-wows. Some suggest that
w. III. Swiggett be transferred from
Clerk of the Court to Superintendent
as heis, head and shoulders, their alb
lest man, while some suggest that the
place be given to a lady possibly Miss
Kirby of the city schools The republic
cans haven't begun to talk politics yet,
while the democrats will wait until
the populist dose is fixed up for them
and then trey will swallow it in I'll e
usual way.
