FOR YEAR OF PLENTY.
Celebrations to Be Conducted
Here by the Salvation
Army.
THANKSGIVING AT HARVEST TIME.

Rich end Poor Alike to Be Asked to
Large Amounts Raised In This Way
for Benevolent Purposes-Observance of
Local Corps Sept. 80 to Oct. 3.
The bugle call has sounded in the
busy camps of the Salvationists, and
lively preparations are being made in
the army's 700 corps, stretching from
coast to coast of the United States, to
make the coming harvest celebrations
an unprecedented success. That time
honored custom, as old as bible his
tory itself, to assemble together at
harvest time in order to give praise
for the year of plenty, will be taken
advantage of, and the Salvationists
will strive to make it more thanks
giving in practice than in sentiments.
AS the Israelites in the days of old in
joyous procession brought their tithes
into the storehouse, so everybody,
rich and poor alike, will be asked
to bring their gifts to the altar
of praise, and thus, according to the
dictates of their conscience, offer
thanksgiving to the Lord of the har-
vest. There is something in this
ldea Ihat appeals to everybody, ana
as the Salvation Army, with charac-
teristic up-to-dateness, has not con-
fined its appeals to the products of
the field only, but is open to receive
any kind of contribution. every body
will have n chance to participate.
The multifarious philanthropic en-
terprises of the army make it posi-
bic for them to dispose of or utilize
any imaginable class of goods, from
musical instruments or live stock to
articles of furniture or bank notes.
Willingness of Army Workers.
1t is almost incredible what amounts
have been raised in this way by the
army for benevolent purposes. The
secret is, no doubt, the willingness of
its workers, who give their service
almost day and night gratuitiously,
as well as their organization. which
insures the maximum of profit with
the minimum of cost. The enormous
amount of good that has been accom-
plished during the past years by these
toilers of the sea of misery entities
them to the most hearty support.
The celebrations at the local corps
will take place from Sept. 80 to
Oct. ).

ROOT TO MEET RYAN.
Local Pugilistic Fayorites to Get
Together in Chicago
Next Week.
CHANCE FOR NEW CHAMPION

Young Phenomenon Has an Opportunity
of Realizing His Pet Ambition-Go to
Come ON at acknowledgements De-
cIares Craig Tried to Foul Him in Their
Recent Battle.
Jack Root, middle-weight champion
of the west, has been given a chance
to realize his pet ambition. In other
words. he is to meet Tommy Ryan, of
Syracuse, in a Ground contest before
the Arena Athletic club at latter
sails, Chicago, next Tuesday night,
Oct. 3.
Ryan passed through Chicago Mon
day enroute to Denver, Col, where he
is matched to box 90 rounds with
Jack McDonough, of St. Paul, to-
night. He called on Roots manager
and signifed his willingness to meet
the Chicagoan, and articles of agree
ment were at once drawn up and
signed. The men will break clean,
and have agreed to weigh in at 15S
pounds on the day of the battle. Ma
lachy Hogan will officiate as referee.
This will undoubtedly be the best
boxing event that has been offered to
the local sporting contingent for many
day. 1t is needless to dilate upon
Ryan's wonderful ring record, his
superb science, and capacity to give
and take punishment.
Against this formidable comb
ton of muscle and skill will be fitted
the best man in his class that the west
could furnish.
Roots record is unstained by
single defeat. His rise to fame in the
pugilistic profession is nothing short
of phenomenal.
In Excellent Shape.
Ryan is in excellent shape. and,
with the exception of a slight in Jury
to his left hand, bears no marx of his
recent contest with Craig. Speaking
of the latter event, Ryan averred that
the colored man tried hard to foul him
upon several occasions during the bat
tie. but that ut no time was the result
in doubt. Ryan has agreed to train
Jeffries for his fight with Sharkey for
the heavyweight championship, and
will join the Californian's camp on or
about Oct. 10.

eral MacArthur's division, consist
ing OF the brigades of General Harri-
son Gray Otis, General Hale and

Manila, March %, noon.-The move
ment OF the American troops today
swept the insurgents back towards
Malabon. General Harrison Gray
Otis brigade Ia in front OF Laloma,
where there is a stretch of mile of
rough, open country. The insurgent
trenches in the edge of the woods
are four feet deep, and furnish good
head cover.
The Americans advanced on the
double quick, yelling fiercely and oc-
casioEally dropping in the grass and
firing by volleys. The natives stood
until the Americans We're within 200
yards of their position, and then
broke and ran for the woods. About
80 OF them were killed in the out
skirts and 20 on the roads.
The Montana and Kansas troops
met the hottest resistance in IA strip
from which the rebels have greatly
worried the Americans recently dur
ing the night time. Twenty minutes
| after the start-at 6 o'clock-the
whole front, for a distance of three
miles to the north, had been cleared.
Gen. Hale's brigade had simultan-
eOusly swept in a northwesterly
direction, routing the enemy and
burning the town of San Francisco
del Monte and number of scattered
huts. The line was then opposite
Novaleche: the wagons, carrying
rontoons, telegraph supplies and
ammunition, following the infantry,
moved in splendid order.
Smoke from burning huts marked
the American advance. Ambulances
and horse litters, led by Chinese,
brought In the wounded, among
whom were few Filipinos.
Americans who were wounded are
enduring their injuries bravely. One
group which had been brought into
the hospital sang Comrades"
The Pennsylvania troops took
nine prisoners, among them a great
naked captain of the Macabebe tribe
and one japanese. All the prisoners
were greatly terrified, expecting to
be executed Immediately.

ORGANIZING VOLUNTEERS.
Present Volunteer Officers May Be Given
Temporary Appointments.

Washington, March 4.-The war
department has been asked il some OF
the VOLUNTEER regiments returning
from Cuba which were organized as
immunes could be re-enlisted in their
entirety. IL was stated that some OF
these regiments desired to re-enlist
and be sent to the Philippines. In
reply the department says that such
enlistments cannot be. re-enlist'
ments provided for under the army
law are to be made from volunteer
troops now serving in the Philip
pines, who will be subject to immedi-
ate muster out as soon as the ratifi-
cation of the peace treaty is pro-
claimed. 1t is expected that Gen.
Otis will organize a brigade or more
OF these men.
The organization will be entirely
new and no semblance of the former
status will be maintained. 1t is pos
sible that some OF the volunteer Of1l-
GERS OF the state militia who have
shown great aptitude in military
matters will be given commissions In
the temporary regiments to he organ
lied in the Philippines. These new
regiments will not be kept in service
very long unless the situation in the
Philippines becomes much worse
The belief is expressed that this is not
likely, as the reports from Gen. Otis
for week or ten days have indicated
an early collapse OF the rebellion In
Luzon. The temporary organization
it is said, will be retained until tht
regular troops now under orders fol
Manila reach that place.

Washington, March 4.-Mail re-
ports have been received from Manila

ing all kinds of vegetables, arrived

no complaint among the troops, says
the report, the having something

crossed Talighan river, going in a
nOrthwesterly direction towards
Polo, and General Macarthur, with
the remainder Of General Otis and
General Hale's brigades, was moving
along south OF the river, in position
to attack either Novaleche or Polo.
General Hale's brigade moved to
Ranlas, protecting General Hale's
right, meeting with strong opposi-
tion. The Oregon regiment and part
OF the Utah battery, under Lieutenant
Gibbs. held the extreme left. The
entrenchments near TO MalabOn suf-
iered most severe attacks, including
"A crossfire from insurgents massed at
Matabo.
The Montana regiment, near Balm
tanac, came upon block house, dis
guised as a leper hospital, across the
river, after marching through the
jungle, where two were killed and
IL wounded. General McArthur's
artillery was hampered by the thick
ness OF the jungle. Gen. McArthur's
and Gen. Hale'sstaiis were frequently
under CALLING fire and upon one &C.
casion all OF the officers, excepting
the generals, dismounted, being over
come by heat. There were many
prostrations during the day.

OeIiberatiOn.

Glendive, March 2l.-The trial of
Joseph G.. Hurst, accused of the mur-
der of Sheriff Dominick Cavanaugh
on Friday evening, Dec. %, 1898,
which began Friday, March 10, after
three venires of iurymen were ex-
hausted, continued until yesterday
afternoon at $50, when it was given
to the jury. who remained out %
hours, bringing in their verdict OF
guilty of murder In the first degree I
4 O'Clock this afternoon.
Very few persons expected ver-
dict OF this kind, as the opinion was
held that no person could be con-
victed of murder in the first degree in
Dawson county. The verdict was
therefore a surprise, but from the evi-
dence produced the jury could not do
otherwise. The case was closely fol.
lowed by a crowded court room every
session, and the attorneys for the de.
tense, Messrs. e. II. Middleton, II. j
Haskell and George w. Myers, left nc
stone unturned to clear Hurst, while
the states attorneys, Thomas C.
Holmes and Stille < Porter, did theiI
utmost for conviction. Two days
were consumed by the attorneys IN
addressing the jury. Judge Charles
III. Loud will sentence the prisoner
tomorrow. The attorneys for the
defense have already moved for q
new trial.

are reported In the American forces today.
Our troops are now within five to eight miles
of Maolos and though many towns intervene
none of these are entenched and the Amer.
can advance will be easy over fairly level
country. the only difficulty being that ten
streams must be crossed and the insurgents
having burned all the bridges as they retreated,
delay will occur in pushing forward the
artillery. The Filipinos today left 100 dead on
the field and their total loss in killed and
wounded must have been very large. We
have many prisoners.
