Holiday Period.

There is ne reason whatever why the
coming period OF holiday week should
not be celebrated with the utmost good
cheer in the Grand valley. The farmers
were blessed with good crops for which
they received fair return. In fact .
better price has been realized the pres
ent year for what fruit and farm prod
ucts have been raised than for several
years before.
There has been = greater amount OF
work done in this city and valley than
ever before in her history for which the
workmsr and artisans have received fair
wages.
1t can be said that there are NO alb
jectly poor people in the valley. OF
course there are cases where poverty
reigns, but generally speaking there is
not want.
People during the coming week should
endeavor to wean their minds to . GER
tain extent from their business cares
and get all out Of life that there is to
get. There il little to offer in the way
Of pleasure in this isolated valley
but what there are should be taken the
full measure
1t is a season Of jollity the world over
and nsn and women are better if they
tall the measure Of pleasure allotted
them. All wealth has to be left behind
when life ends, so that man has ether
things to think Of, or should have, than
merely stori og up wealth.

GOOD WORK.
A Record of Which to be Proud
Game Warden Jay
Stands First.

B. F. Jay, chief game warden, return
ed last night from DeBeque where he
had been since last Sunday looking for
Ed Porter and William Gibson, " ho had
been reported as pot hunters and chas-
ing deer with dogs.
On Monday Warden Jay, in company
with Robert Eaton, special warden from
DeBsque, went to the Ed HARRISON
cabin on the east fork of the Little Al
kali, and well up on Battlement Mesa,
where the snow was two feet deep, to
find, from their trail in tho snow, that
the hunters had moved that morning
After a chase and search for three
days with tho thermometer, at times, 8
degrees below zero, the parties were
found In the White cabin on the Grand
river.
In their possession were found four
deer, four separate deer hides, four deer
scalps and four dogs.
The hunters we're arrested, the deer
seized, and taken to DeBeque where the
deer were sold and the hunters tried be-
fore Justice John w. Armstrong. The
jury was oat but few minutes and re-
turned verdict OF guilty.
This makes twenty men arrested
by Warden joy since his appointment.
He acted az prosecuting attorney in all
cases but one and has secured convic-
ton in all cases but one.
During October Warden Jay turned
into the state treasury for deer sold and
for fines, $6S S5.

Charged with n Montana Murder

Deadwood, S. d., Aug. 29.-Interest
is increasing i'm the murder case of
Eugene Cullinan, in Deer Lodge coun-
", Montana. Thus far, six Black Hills
men have been arrested and are now
confined in Jail for the crime and 1T is
believed that two of them at least are
guilty. The first two men to be ar
rested were Clinton Dotson and Oliver
Benson. both Of whim lived near The
murdered man, and the evidence
against them is said to be strong. The
officers found in their bed mattress %
watch which belonged to the muir
nrrcu man ana mere IS salo 10 he 9th
err evidence equally ms strong.
The other men arrested are Captain
Oliver Dotson, William Cachelin,
ELIAS Persingcr and William Glover,
all Of whom are well known Black
Hills men. Captain Dotson is a strong
temperance worker. 1t was he who
closed up the saloons and gambling
houses in Spearfish. 1t is not believed
that he had anything to do with the
murder, neither had the other three
men last mentioned. They resided
near the first named men and are un-
der arrest on suspicion. 1t is believed
that Benson, who is a young man, will
turn states evidence and confess be-
fore the trial.

CALIFORNIA WELCOMES
HER SOLDIER BOYS
Sherman Sails Into Golden Gate,
Escorted by Hundreds Of Graft
of All Descriptions.
SAN FRANCISCO MAD WITH JOY
Cannon Boom, Sirens Scream anu
Every Conceivable Kind OF
Noise Is Madc--Grand
illumination.

San Francisco, Aug. 26.-The trans
port Sherman, with the California vol
unteers ON board, was given Il recep"
ton yesterday evening, the like OF
which was never seen in San Francisco
before. The Sherman arrived off the
Golden Gate Wednesday night, but did
not start into the bay until yesterday
afternoon.
Every pier and Telegraph hill, which
commands a magnificent view OF the
| Golden Gate harbor, were crowded
with spectators anxious TO catch a
| glimpse of the Sherman as it neared
the harbor. From every quarter OF the
bay. yachts, launches, tugs and bay
craft Of all descriptions made their
way through the water, all convergihg
toward one point, the Sherman. The
| pleasure craft were crowded. AS the
fleet became greater, by the addition OF
each new boat, the boats seemed 10
iostle one another and on more than
one occasion it appeared to the watch
ers on shore that collisions were lmmi-
nent. Their human cargoes all gath
cred on the shore side of the vessels
and the slant of the vessels toward
that side caused some alarm, but fortii-
nately there were no accidents of any
moment. The boats pok their appoint
ed positions as if by magic.
As the Sherman approached the gate
1.-THE land batteries belchcd forth in a
national salute and the bay steamers
took up the signal with their sirens.
Nearer and nearer the welcome vessel
came and at last pushed its prov into
the space left for it and SUCH a scene
occurred as has never been seen on this
coast before. Flags dipped and were
waved, whistles screamed, cannon
were fired, trumpets were blown n
megaphones and marine glasses were
turned on the delighted boys who
filled the rigging of The great steam
err. The signal was given to the fleet
of yachts and tugs to get under head
way lust in time for them TO fall into
the wake of the transport, which or
couse, was given the place OF honor.
The fleet gathered strength in num-
bers as it arrived well inside the bay.
1t was a grand sight and one never to
be forgotten. The gallant Califor-
mans on the transport seemed wild
with delight over the reception given
them. They checred and cheercd,
waved flags and handkerchiefs and
cans and even their coats in the eX-
element. As the fleet swept past tho
sea wall the din became more and
more deafening and the waving OF
flags more frantic.
As the fleet neared the transport
dock, the Iowa let 60 its batteries and
the curling smoke, rs it left the can
mons mouth, presented a sight which
few of the watchers on land and wa
ter had ever seen before.
Just before the anchor of the Sher,
man was dropped Commodore Spreck-
els gave the signal for the escort to
dispense and the first detail of the
days celebration was over.
Last night there was a grand illu'
mination on the bay and the city was
lighted up with the thousands of cleo
trio lights stretched in tasty designs
at every conspicuous point.

which by the fortunes of war have

specting the policy of the government

DEWEY'S SUCCESSOR VERY ILL.
admiral Watson Suffering From
Heart Disease.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-The Army
and Navy Register in its issue today
says:
A recent letter from Manila men
tons the illness of Admiral Watson as
the source of great anxiety to his Of
ficers. The illness is the effect of an
accident which occurred to his launch
while on a trip up the river on the 18th
of July. A strong wind was blowing,
aud as the launch Undinc went under
the bridge over the river, known as
the Bridge Of Spain, the strong cur
rent, aided by the wind, set against
the little boat and she was turned out
Of her curse and thrown against a
hawser from n sailing vessel. The rope
,arriedAway the awning, and striking
Tie Smokestack took that also.
Admiral Watson showed no con
Scious appearance of having been
startled excessively by the occurrence
Or in any way Of having suffered by
It. Later, however, serious heart
trouble developed, and in consequence
he was regarded as extremely i'll up to
the date of the letters Of the nth. No
one but his physician has access to
him and all business of the feet is for
bidden.

Black Hills Against Extra Session

Deadwood, S. d., Aug. 2G.-The
Black Hills senators and representa-
tives of the last Legislature have all re-
ceived "A Telegram from an eastern
party asking if they would attend a
special session Of that body il Cover
nor Lee should call it, providing they
were to receive for their mileage and
per diem actual expenses only.
The question has been quite general
~ discussed in Deadwood and the gen
eral sentiment Of all parties seems TO
be against the calling Of an extra ses-
sion. The special session would be
called for the purpose Of appropriating
$4,000 to bring the South Dakota boys
home. The principal reasons given for
not calling the Legislature together
are that the expense would be greater
than the amount desired appropriated
and again, there would not he time
now before the arrival Of the boys.

POLICY OF LENIENCY A FAILURE
Col. Smith Adopts New Tactics at
Angeles, Ordering Troops 10
Shoot All Men Trying
TO Pass Lines.

Manila, Aug. %, via Hong Kong,
Aug. 20.-Recent events have proved
somewhat discouraging to officials
who are trying TO accompany war
with a policy OF Cancellation. Two
municipal governments have collapsed
through the treachery of the mayors.
Today the mayor of San Pedro Macati,
who was elected 10y the people, under
the direction of Professor Worcester,
of the United States advisory commit
tee for the Philippines, was brought
to Manila and lodged in Jail. The
United States officers at San Pedro
Macati found that he was using his
office as a recruiting station for the
Filipino army. Disguised insurgent
officers were helping him. The mayor
of Baliuag was also arrested and con-
fined in the same prison. The Amer
leans found him passing between the
lines Of the two armies with incrimin-
ating documents, which the author
tiles secured. Another prominent ma
tive mayo is under surveillance.
When the result of the election at
linus, which General Lawton and Pro-
lessor Worcester engineered, was an
nounced, the Americans inquired as
to the whereabouts of the peoples
choice, and were informed that he was
in the prison at Bilibid, where the au-
rhOrities had placed him on suspicion
of being a revolutionist. He was re-
leased and installed as mayor.
Such events and conditions tend 10

residents acquainted with the native
character, who insist that a great ma
jority of the natives ~sympathize with
the insurgents, and elect officials
whom they know TO be rev~olutionists.
For two weeks Manila has been
policcd at night with unusual vigil
ance. Apparently the authorities are
expecting trouble.
The trend of affairs tends TO make
the policy Of l%cniency unpopular
among the Americans. When they
abandoned Morong they burned the
whole town.
Colonel Smith. Of the Twelfth in
fantry, who is i'm command at Angeles,
is skcptical regarding Filipino friend
illness. Instead of allowing the ma
lives "a return to the town, rs hereto
fore, he has ordered his troops TO
,hoot all men trying TO pass the lines
and to send back the women and chill
lren.
lie recently gave the amigos in the
town an opportunity to prove their
profcsscd friendship, putting them at
work digging trenches and cleaning
streets, but this only displeascd them.
The foremost citizen Of Angeles, Il
uWyer who had welcomed Americans
with a great show of c]ordiality, was
'ound communicating with the insur-
gents. The Americans promptly
nnrchCd him Oft to San Fernando TO
stand trial.

New York, Mug. 29.-The treasury
department. gave out yesterday for
publication an interesting statement
Of the financial condition of the
sland Of Cuba. 1t shows that under
he management Of the United States
government the receipts % the island
rom January !, 1899, 10 june 80, OF the
current year, exceeded the cXpendi-
'ures by the very handsome sun Of
Sl,lSO.0 2l. This statement probably
viii be a surprise 10 many persons
who had thought that Cuba under the
military occupation Of the United
States was not self supporting.
During the period named the re-
ariptS from all sources were $G,9S2,0lO;
disbursements. $j,50l ,99S.
The statement for July shows that
the custom collections in the entire
STAND for July alone were Si.H01. 537;

CUBANS WILL GET NO MORE MONEY
Brooke Will Make No Payments on
Additional Rolls.

Havana, Aug. 26.-Governor General
Brooke has virtually decided not to
make any payments to Cuban troops
on the basis of additional rolls. The
first payments brought to light such
an amount Of thievery and attempted
~swindling that he has ceased to con-
slider the question of distributing
what is left Of the $4,000, 900 in supple
mentary payments. The sum now left
in his hands he will probably use TO
assist wounded and deserving officers,
who, under the original arrangement,
were to receive nothing.
Most of the Cuban officials agree
with a remark recently made by Cen
eral Gomez. lie said the 81, ZOO, 600
would prove more harmful. than help
full and the work of payment has re-
vealed depths of d~eprayity that the
best friends Of Cuba had not conceived
could exist.
The strike of the masons and brick
LAYERS seems to be gaining strength.
What repairs were in progress on the
palace. the custom house, the tele-
graph Office and the other public
buildings are at Il s~tardstill. The
strikers count upon the support Of the
local labor organizations. There are
some 200 men still working, but they
have been told that they will regret
their course later.
The period of thirty days that was
given to unemployed persons to find
work has now elapsed and hereafter
all street idlers will DE arrested and
sent to Vivac, the Tombs of Havana,
whehce they will probably be sent to
| the Isle of Pines to work in the mar
bic ouarries there. Seventy-two idlers
have already been taken into custody.
While ~arr-' excursion train was re-
turning yesterday from Cienfuegos to
Sagua it was stoned and two eNeur-
