SECOND DAYS CONFLICT.
One Soldier Killed and His Death
Avenged.

Avenged.
St. Paul. Mimi. oct. The story OF
the first days fighting has been given
by K c. Beaton- of the Minneapo-
lis Tribune What followed that night
and the next day is told in the follow
ing delayed special from w. Il. Brill,
a Pioneer Press reporter:
The night was d terrible one and will
never be forgotten by the four score or
more men who tried to sleep in the lit
tie Indian log cabin that was the cen
ter of Wednesdays fight. In one cor
ner Of the room lay the half dozen
wounded. whose groans, bravely half
smothered. added not a little to the
horrors of the experience. The force
of fighting men. divided into two
squads. spent the night throwing up
entertainments and digging rii.e pits.
All through the night were occasional
shots from the woods. answered by the
sharp ping of the Krag- Jorgensens
from the trenches and pits outside the
house. At O'Clock all the men were
ordered to the trenches TO resist an at
tack which it was expected would be
made at daybreak or before. There
was nothing to eat in the camp and
the men went out into the cold without
even their morning coffee. But, con-
trary to expectations, there was no at
tack. Every few moments a few shots
from the trench would call Lieutenant
Ross- out of doors. but there was little
trouble until about o'clock, when Pri-
vate Sehwaltenstaclzer started out to
the rife pits. While pushing through
the potato patch IT the side of the
house. a shot from the woods ploughed
up the dirt beside him. He ran back

INDIAN CONGRESS EXPECTED.
Red Men at Omaha Interested In
the War.

Omaha. Neb. Oct. THE 600 red
men of the Indian congress now as
sembled in Omaha are much interested
in the reports of fighting among the
Minnesota Indians. Some of the braves
at the exposition grounds are consider
ably excited over the situation. The
manner in which the news was circu-
lated among the Indians is a mystery,
even TO Captain Mercer who has
charge of the camp. Early in the morn
ing a number OF the chiefs came to
Mercer and asked him about the heap
big fight up north. They listened in 81
lence to the statement of the CAPTAIN.
There are Is Chippewas in camp They
seemed greatly interested and talked
among themselves in an excited man

asked by the captain what he thought
of the fighting. He grunted with much
energy aud said:

of the fighting from half-breed. who
read OF II IN the morning papers. Other
Indians on the grounds, especially
those ApacheS and Sioux from the west
who know something of the fighting
qualities and numbers of United States
troops, ridicule the Chippewas for go
ing to war.
Old Geronimo, the famous Apache
chief, who has been a prisoner since
being captured by General Crook after
his desperate fighting in the south, was
an interested listener to what CAPTAIN
Mercer said. When he found the fight
ing was confined to a small tribe, away
north of any territory he knew aught
Of. he had nothing more TO say. When
asked by Captain Mercer If he would

CANNlBAL PLANTS.
They Are Sure to Languish When

Deprived of Their Diet of Meat.

healthier. when allowed their regular
insect food than when they are reared
under netting or in any other manner
which excludes them from their regular

itself, especially when we consider the
fact that there is a certain school of
bOtanistS which teaches that cannibal
plants make no use whatever of the in

nothing compared with the bold asser-
ton made by Francis Darwin That
noted scientific gentleman brdvely

the assertion that all kinds and classes
of plants, whether knows as meat

fruits and seeds when fed on meat

He grew two lots, comprising various
varieties of the different common
plants.
One lot was regularly fed. through
their roots. of course, with pure juices
compressed from meat. the other with
water and the various fertilizers. The
final figures on this experiment proved
that the plants which were fed pure

the same number and original condition
bore but "A; also, that the pampered
plants bore 240 seeds TO every 100 borne

chance to crafty cannibalistic taste.

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY has taken an
advanced step in the policy of imperi-
alism and territorial expansion, and
has instructed the United States peace
commissioners at Paris to inform Spain
that we will take for ourselves the en-
tire group of Philippine Islands. Act
ing upon these instructions, our COM
missioners on Monday notified the
Spanish commissioners that our gov
eminent demanded the cession of all
the islands. The commission then ad-
journed until Friday to give Spain S
representatives time to recover from
the shock and prepare their reply.
This demand upon the part of our
government will be received with sur
prise, for when the peace protocol was
signed it was not considered possible
that the United States would make
such claim. News from Madrid is
to the effect that the demand causes
much excitement, and there is the
strongest feeling against yielding.
Poor Spain, however, can hardly help
herself. If she refuses to give up, she
will be at our mercy, for she has no
navy either to defend the Philippines
or protect the mother country, and
further resistance will only add to her
troubles. We believe she will be bet
ter off without the islands-just as the
United States will be worse off with
them-for they have always been a
source of trouble and expense. The
administration is getting into the ex-
pansion policy mighty deep.

the sufferer from kidney trouble. The

rheumatism, dull pain or ache in the

desire to urinate often, or "A burning or
scalding in passing it; if after passing
there is an unsatisfed feeling as if it
must be at once repeated, or if the urine
has brick dust deposit or strong odor.
When these symptoms are present, no
time should be lost in removing the
cause.

he says;
Il want to be perfectly candid and |
desire to be fully understood, and trust
that there will be no misunderstanding
on the part of mutual friends on this
subject. | do not want the place, and
hope my name will not be considered in
connection with it. Yet, at the same
time, do not wish to say that, under
certain circumstances, would not ac
cept. On the contrary, circumstances
might arise when | would deem it my
duty not only to accept it, if offered.
but to enter the contest; but sincerely
hope that | will not find it necessary.

IT is said that Col. John T. McGraw
will sue the Martinsburg Herald for
its violent personal attack upon him
and the publication Of false charges
against him. We have no desire to
see misfortune come to our neighbol,
and hope the matter will be dropped,
but the fullest apology should be de-
manded by Col. McGraw Of Editor
Smith. Nothing is ever gained by
such disreputable methods of attack.
The Herald neither took any vote
from Mr.. McGraw nor gained any for
Mr.. Dayton by calling the Democratic
candidate vile names and publishing
lies about him-the only result is to
make trouble for itself. We have
never published a word rejecting upon
Mr.. Dayton, though repeatedly urged
to make statements concerning his ac-
tons that would be prejudicial to him.
The issues in this campaign are not
personal ones. Both the candidates
are men Of high personal character,
and nothing need be feared from either
in this respect. We advocate the
election of Col. McGraw because we
believe him to be one of the ablest
men in West Virginia, and because he
can be depended upon to carry out
Democratic principles, which are fol
the good of the great masses of the
people. If personal matters were to
be considered alone we would have no
hesitation in voting for Mr.. Dayton
after we had put in ballot for genial
John McGraw.
