WHAT PEOPLE SAY.
A Transient Record Of Private Opinions
Publicly Expressed.

TupiSit EApTeSSeu.
WIN. Lee SRI hope to see the day,
but at all events my grandchildren will,
when my motto will prevail all over the
earth: One God, one nation, one flag.
+. J. Pstton-I pin my faith to Yak
ina. believe we are going to have
city here some day that will have no su-
perior but one on the Sound. Yakima
is all right.
Dan Lesh--The report Of the state fair
ground commissioners settles the fate OF
the fair. There will never be another
appropriation procured from the legisla-
ture now. 1t is too bad.
Professor McBride-A county board of
trade is an absolute necessity if Yakima
would he great. But the various associa-
tons of producers should become men,
bers and not delegate their powers to
governing board. 1t is only by general
concert of action that the best results
may be realized.
Mack Kremer-I saw scaffold that
was put up once by some mechanics on Q
church tower 200 feet above ground.
Two men were at work, believing every
thing was safe. When they got through
they found that the brace that held the
plank on which they stood had only one
nail-and that half way into hold
them.
Ira NJ. Krutz-Here are some small
nuggets of gold the kershaw brothers
have sent me. They are mining on the
head waters of John Day river in Oregon
and appear to have struck it rich.
Arthur Rinehart-I am on my way to
Bozeman, Mont, where | may open
law Office. | have an advantageous offer
to travel for Chicago house and | am
debating in my mind whether or not
had better go there, as there will be
more money in that than in a law office,
for some years at least.
Fred Parker-We have won the Lean
ing case after many years of litigation.
Mr.. Leaning has been IItigatiny the
title to the S0-acre tract in the north
western part of the city since 1884, and
is about worn out with it. l have been
connected with the case since 1892.
Judge Stout-My samples OF beet
sugar sent to the Worlds Fair showed
by official analysis that Yakima can
raise the finest sugar beets in the world.
There is no industry in the county that
would pay better than sugar beet raising.
The brewers will adulterate their beer
with bitter drugs before they will bitter
them with hops beyond 10 or 12 cents
pound. The hop market is subject to
gambling and fluctuation and the crop is
getting to be very uncertain one. Not
80 with sugar. There is and always will
be steady demand for best sugar and
the producer knows what to depend
upon. Hook for Yakima to become the
greatest beet sugar producer of any
county in the Union.
Peter Kirk-I have brought my son
over from Seattle for the benefit of his
health, as he is a sufferer from asthma.
Since came here first, twelve years ago.

A King.

We talked of kings, little Ned and ],
As we sat in the firelight's glow;
OF Alfred the Great, in days gone by,
And his kingdom of long ago.
OF Norman William, who, brave and stern,
His armies to victory led,
Then, after a pause, cat school we learn
OF another great man." said Ned.
''And this one was good to the oppressed,A
He was gentle and brave, and so \
Wasn't he greater than all the rest?
Twas Abraham Lincoln, yen know"
teWas Lincoln a king9" 1 asked him then,
And in waiting for his reply
A long procession of noble men
Seemed to pass in the freight by.
When mo- came slowly from little Ned,
And thoughtfully; then, with a start,
"He wasn't a king-outside." he said,
But l think he was in his heart"

Ari.ch1ef.

Five of the elephants attached to the
circus of Lord George Sanger escaped
from the large tent in which they had
been hobbled for the night at hartford,
England. They were found devouring
the contents of a bakers shop, having
smashed a large plate glass window in
the shopIfront and eaten all the bread
and pastry they could find and then be-
ginning to destroy some bags of -four.
-Four Of the elephants-Charlie, Ed
gar, 81. R. H. and Mary-were escorted
back to the tent, but Minnie could not
be found anywhere.
She subsequently was discovered a
mile and a half away quietly sleeping
hear a conservatory in a market gar
den. She had amused herself by smash
ing the windows Of the conservatory,
destroying a quantity of valuable flow
ers and eating a big lot Of vegetables.

FOR LITTLE FOLKS.
The Heron.

The heron is one of the handsomest
and largest of British birds and was
once very numerous in the country,
but since the fens and other similar
swampy districts have been drained it
ahas become less common. In districts
which offer a supply Of suitable food
and an undisturbed retreat the heron
may still be found in small numbers.
Even in the neighborhood Of London
n may now and again be seer wend-
Ing Its way to some secluded spot
where it may feed in security. When
flying, the bird is easily known by
those with good eyesight, as the long
bill and legs project in a straight line

A sortie was resolved upon as a means
to inspire the men, give them fresh air
and drive the enemy to a distance.
When all was ready, the doors were
thrown open and the little band
charged f~uriously to the first trench,
losing one killed and three wounded.
The insurgents were routed and the
Spaniards followed up, burning the
nearby houses which had been used as
cover by the besiegers. 1t was then
safe to open the doors and windows of
the fortress a few hours daily for ven
tilation. The bodies were also removed
and buried in the trenches outside.
This sortie took place in December,
and the Spaniards held the works out
side for several days, long enough to
Danish the fever and restore the men
to health. The winter passed without
further attacks; but early in April the
insurgents appeared In force. ready to
assault the church on all sides. Great
piles of wood were placed against the
walls to be fired, where . the wind
would carry the smoke into the build
ing and %suffocate the defenders. A
heavy rifle fire drove away the natives
who attempted to ply the torch, and at
night the wood was carried inside for
cooks fuel. A party Of insurgents tried
to scale the windows with ladders, and
the ever ready boiling water drove
them away.
By this time the food Of the garrison
was at a low ebb. The men shot
snakes outside, and It night brought
them in for food. Cats and dogs were
enticed inside and devoured. and even
the rats which infested the place had
to be drawn upon for food. For a time
leaves Of the calabasa growing in the
churchyard was the only food. Finally
Lieutenant Martin bribed a native to
bring up small quantities of rice at night
and leave it where his men could get it.
Two weeks after the. last attempt to
carry the citadel the first attempt at
rescue from the outside was made by
the United States warship Yorktown.
Anchoring off Baler. the ship dis
patched a cutter manned by IA men
under Lieutenant Gilmore to make
soundings in the river and learn wheth-
er the vessel could sail up to the town.

England Getting Ready to Make Lavish
Display of Force in South Africa-Du-
ration of Campaign-Eight Months
Supplies Provided For.
LONDON, Oct. 1o.-The complete
dearth of news from the Cape on which
all attention is riveted is poorly COM
pensated for by the mass of minor de-
tails published concerning the prepara-
tions for the dispatch of the army corps,
and speculation as to the length and
character Of the debates when parlia-
ment meets. In official circles there is
aid to be apprehension that the Rad
lcals will offer pr~otracted opposition to
the governments policy in South AZ
RIGA which will possibly make proroga-
ton and Christmas near neighbors.
Lord S%alisbury's whip to the lords, is
sued last night, says the parliament
will deal with matters Of grave moment.
The latest dispatch from Lourenzo
Marquee relating to the chasing Of the
steamer Guelph by the cruiser Philimel,
caused some stir, especially as it was
announced that the Guelph had landed
at Durham 415 cases Of ammunition for
the Beers. There is a pretty general
feeling that ammunition ought not be
allowed to be forwarded.
The Pail Mall Gazette, referring to
the matter, says: ssThere is some hope
that the ammunition will be seized at
Durham, as Natal possesses a ministry
whose loyalty is unquestioned. Had
not the Filipinos been given arms by
Americans with which to fight Spain
General Otis would long ago have been
enjoying his ease at home. Similarly
with the Beers, we may have to pay
heavily in blood for the apathy the
Cape government has exhibited in this
matter"
Lord Vantage, president of the Brit
Al Red Cross society, will shortly issue
an appeal for contributions to aid in the
work of the society, which, he says will
provide two hospital trains and a hos
pital ship.
Some indications of the war Office es-
innate of the duration of the campaign
is given by the fact that the authorities
have contracted for eight months sup
plies of bread and other military requis-
ltions rendered necessary by the alb
sence of bulk Of the army service corps,
Of whom the war Office thus evidently
calculates will be home again by, the be-
ginning of May. 1t appears that al
though the war Office called up 25, 900
reservists. only the pick Of them, some
5000 will be retained with the colors.

reservists will get six pence and each
child two pence daily, while the hus-
bands and fathers are retained with the

Fight on an Exoursion Train.

MARYv1LLE, Mo-, Oct. 1O.-Four
Grand River men living near Gallatin,
got into a fight OF an excursion train
while returning from the Omaha ex-
position last night between Burlington
Junction and Wilcox, over a game Of
craps. One man attempted to take all
the money on the board and the others
jumped on him, assaulting him with
fists, knives and beer bottles and he
was badly cut. During the melee two
women tainted and much excitement
prevailed in the car, which was crowded.

Youngest oimcer In the world.

Without doubt the youngest officer
in the world is the son of the Turkish
consul general in Taurus, Persia. He
is only 2R years old. A short time ago
the wife of the Turkish plenipotentiary
obtained an audience with the crown
princess of Persia and, as is the Gus.
tom of the country, brought along her
youngest son. The princess and her
spouse busted themselves with the lit
tie boy, and the prince took such an
interest in him that he made him an
officer in the Persian army and himself
fastened the insignia Of the rank ON
the boys breast.

The party disappeared from view be-
hind q hill, and o o afterward volleys
of musketry followed by cheers gave
notice Of a skirmish. Boats were sent
out. but the searchers were fired upon,
and the Filipinos refused to tell of the
fate of Gilmore's party. At first they
were reported massacred, but later 1t
was learned that they were prisoners
to the insurgents.
Aguinaldo refused to release Lieu
tenant Gilmore's party with other
prisoners sent to the American camp.
All the news gained by the York
town was that there was a Spanish
flag flying yer the church at Baler
months after the Spanish had surren-
dered the island. This was seer by
lookouts from the ship who climbed a
high mountain to watch the progress of
Lieutenant Gilmore's party and sound
alarm in case Of danger. The seen of
the attack was shut off from the view
of the lookouts. They reported three
volleys and wild cheers, a fact which
led to the surmise that the band had
been massacred. The Spaniards saw
the warship, but, not knowing that the
Spanish sway was ended in the Philip
pines, supposed that 1t was one of their
own ships come to the rescue. They
burned lights in the church tower at
| night and made distress signals by day,
but the Yorktown sailed off, leaving
them to their fate.
Among the captures with the York
town party was a magazine gun, and
with this the Filipinos tried to drive
out the brave garrison, and they might
have succeeded had they known how
to use the terrible machine. But they
broke 1t beyond repair at the end Of
half a dozen rounds. The true purport
of the visit Of the Yorktown was made
known to the brave garrison by kindly
priests, and Lieutenant Martin resolv-
ed to c%apitulate. White flags We're dis
played on the walls, and terms were
proposed and discussed to the accept
ance Of both parties, 1t seemed. Sick
and wounded defenders were placed on
stretchers, and, headed by the lieuten-
ant, who was lying on a stretcher him
self, the little band, reduced to 81 souls,
stood ready to march out. At the last
moment it became known that the i'll
surgents looked upon the move as au
unconditional surrender. The Spaniards
then sullenly drew back, reloaded. their
guns and took their stations.
1--WE do not surrender" shouted the
gallant leader, from q window. "You
should know us better. We will never
surrender" The natives held a parley
and finally shouted, when will you
surrender"
when we rot!' replied the licuten-
ant.
The %Spaniards were ready to capitu-
~late-that is, march out of their fort
with the honors Of war and be return
ed to their friends. This was granted,
and they came out on May 81, carrying
arms and flags and a pass from Aguin-
aldo giving them safe conduct to the
American lines at Manila.

Kruger kerards situation a. Grave.

PRETORIA Oct. 1O.-President Kruger
in the course of an interview said he
regarded the situation as very grave
and considered it very difficult to pre-
dict coming events. The landing of
British reinforcements in Natal, he
said, did not trouble him, as he had
full faith in the Almighty. Mr.. Kruger
declared he knew nothing Of the re-
ported declaration of Mr.. Hoffmeir, the
Afrikander leader, and J.. Rose Inness,
under secretary Of native affairs in
South Africa, to come to Pretoria and
that there was nothing further known
regarding the suggested arbitration
by the United States.

Modest Bravery.

L
There is a fascination about q mod
est brave man that appeals strongly to
all Of us who like brave deeds and
brave doors. The man who does q
courageous thing and tells about 1t
afterward deserves and our
applause, no doubt, but the one who
does not know that he has done any
thing extraordinary makes us feel like
shaking his hand very hard indeed.
An exchange tells of a brave French
man who is of this class. A reporter
for a Paris paper encountered him in
q little village in the south Of France.
He was a gardener, but wore, pinned
on his clean Sunday blouse, the ribbon
OF the Legion of Honor. Naturally the
newspaper man desired to know how
he got it. The gardener, who, like
many Of his trade, seemed to be a 81
lent man, was averse to meeting an old
and wearisome demand, but said:
"Oh, l don't know how 1 did get it!
I was at Bazeilles with the rest of the
BIZ stery. All the officers were killed;
then down went all the noncommis.

Ensilase and Dry Fodder.

Those who raise ensilage fed herds
invariably have a decided advantage
over the farmer who confines his atten-
ton entirely to dry fodder and grain,
writes q. P. Smith in the Boston Gull
tivator. But on the other hand, there
are farmers who do not make the en-
silage a success because of lack Of
proper study Of economy in feeding or
generally poor management Of the
whole dairy farm. The comparison of
such a man with a first class dairy.
man who believed in dry fodder and
grain is not fair. There are plenty Of
good farmers today making a success
with herds that are fed entirely on dry
fodder, cornmeal, bran and similar
grains. They are too conservative to
take up the silo, or they are willing to
let well enough alone. But because
they make 4 success in their present
work it does not follow that they
would not make even more profits by
adopting the silo. Let such progress
I've farmers give the silo all the care
and attention they give to their pres
ent system Of feeding, and if they fail
they might be justified in casting dis
credit upon the silo. 1t is practical to
raise all the ensilage needed for feed
ing a dairy herd Of almost any size,
and then if the silo is properly filled
the results will be more than satis-
factory. W. are certainly coming to
the time when every dairy farm. Of
20 or more Gov will have it's silo, and
it will be an exception to the rule not
to find one on a farm. 1t is on a par
with our present systems Of cold stor-
age for preserving food in the cities for
the human race. We find that this not
only adds to the pleasures Of eating.
but it improves the health of the ma
ton to have green things right through
the winter and summer months. We
should in the same way consider the
COWS on whose health and good flow
Of milk so many Of us are dependent.
Winter dairying can never be carried
on as it should until the silo is built
and filled. Now Is the time to con-
slider and prepare for next winter If
the herd is expected to give the re-
suits desired. There is no easier way
to increase the winter supply Of milk
than to have and feed plenty Of en-
silage.
