Welcomed by the state Department.

Washington, Sept. 20.-Ihe officials at the state and war departments well
 comed the notice sent to the Ameri- can people of the falsity Of the stories describing the friction between the Fifipinos and the American forces in Iuzon. While the officials did not care to discuss the matter for publication, Ii was evident that the main source of their satisfaction was the internal evi
 dence contained in the document that Aguinaldo had profted by the warm ings of the American commanders and had gracefully receded from the ar rogant attitude assumed by him just before Gen. Merritt left Manila for Paris. While there is little in the of ficial records that tends to contradict what the insurgent chief says, still it must be recalled that both Gen. Otis and Admiral Dewey in cable message to Washington have pointed out threatening complications arising from the attitude of the insurgents.

Meanwhile Makes Arreet.

AT about sundown last Friday
evening two young men rode into
the usually quiet little burg of
Mannsvale. They alighted at a
business house and produced a $40
bill which they wanted changed.
A few minutes later Mr.. Galloway,
OF Earl, rode into town enduring
for the two men who had Just left.
They had gotten two $40 bills from
him in exchange for a twenty
which he found to have been tamp-
cred with. An investigation of
the $40 bill they had received
change for showed the same dirty
work. The parties had succeeded
in raising small bills to larger ones
but the work was evidently that of
novice as it was clumsily done.
A party headed by the town
marshal, was at Opce formed and
pursuit made, and the young men
were Overtaken and arrested at the
ferry on the Washita. They gave
their names as Hitler I. Grooms,
who lives few miles southwest of
Oakland, the other is James M.
Kinsey, claiming to live near
Stonewall. They were brought
here on Saturday night and lodged
in jail. where they will await a
hearing before Commissioner Brad
ford charged with counterfeiting,
forgery or mutilating United States
currency; their case coming under
the head Of each, or all of these
violations.

We have often heard the ex-

the realization moro forcibly than
when told this story. Living in
the country not too far from Ard
more are an old couple who have
children grown and left home.
The couple, whose names we pre-
fer not mention, have had a fall
ing out. They disagreed about
some matter, the old gentleman
got mad, he waylaid and killed
forty geese, the joint property Of
himself and wife. When the lat
ter learned of this it was quite
natural she should get mad some
too. She carried the feather beds
to the windows of the house, rip
ped open the ticking and scattered
the feathers to the four winds. AS
retaliation the old man, it is said,
went out and deliberately killed 9
number of hogs which they had
put up for fattening purposes. A
brief consultation was heidi be-
