patriots held their dear general.
General Otis had another victory
to record this morning, says Wash
ington dispatch of Saturday, and
though the action before Caloocan did
not result in as heavy loss to the
American side as the battle of last
Saturday night and Sunday morning,
it is believed to have been quite as i'm
portant in results. Caloocan is on the
line of the railroad connecting Manila
with Malolos, the insurgent capital,
and it may be that this capture of the
first named town will make it possible
to advance rapidly by rail upon the
insurgent headquarters if it shall be
deemed necessary to force the fighting
and undertake the capture of Aguin-
aldo. The officials here were eDcour-
aged today by General Otis quotation
of the opinion of credible persons,
Filipinos, it is understood, to the effect
that Aguinaldo no longer has the pow
er to keep the insurgents under his
lead, and this points to an early sub
mission of the insurgents to the Amer
ican government. None will be al
lowed to come to Manila, however,
until they have laid down their arms
for good. As for Aguinaldo, it is now
believed that he will refuse TO the last
TO make terms that would meet with

The Rock Island pay car will
pass through Avoca today. This
is the first time pay car has
been through in three years, the
custom being to send the checks
for the men to the station where
they work, and have them dis
tributed But recently the Santa
Fe route, which has used the
same system for paying offas the
Rock-Island, sent out q pay car
and it was found that there were
several hundred names on the
pay roll which were entirely ficti-
tious and had been placed there
by section foremen and gang
bosses. who drew the money on
the checks sent to these parties.
The Rock-Islaud is adopting this
means to find out whether there is
any such fraud practiced by it's
employees. Each man is requir-
ed to come to the car and draw
his own check and receipt for it.

Change in Railroad r ates.

On December I the railroad rates
on live stock will he charged at
the rate of cents per hundred
pounds instead of dollars per car.
This new ruling is endorsed by all
roads and extends for distance
of 400 or 500 miles from Omaha.
Upon arriving at this market cars
will be weighed upon the scales
maintain. d by the railroads and
the weight of the live stock arriv-
ed at accurately. When shipping
by the car stockmen are prone to
overload and thus lose by death
or animals being crippled. When
paying for shipments at so many
cents per hundred pounds this
overlooking will hardly be known
and shippers will be better accom-
modated with cars. The plan
has been tried before and while
some object to it many think that
it is the best in long run.-Omahs

aEwEY's TWO COUSINS.
n~idsn L.4i.. In . Remote x.ntucxy
Town Who Are Blood Rolativss
Of the Admiral.

Many years ago brother Of Admiral
Dewey's father went west, and when
the admiral was giving an account of
HE family lately-an response to re-
queat-he said that he never knew what
became OF this migrating uncle. Now
there are two living descendanta Of that
uncle, and they are to be found in Il
small tumble-down house in EAzaville,
Flaming county, Ky. In this sad lttls
home, one Of them nearly blind. aud
both sadly afflicted with poverty, live
two maiden sisters-Elizabeth and Sa-
rah Dewey-who are the only surviving
members Of the family of this James
Dewey who went west, md who are the
own cousins of the admiral.
So remote from the world do they live
and 80 narrow are the lines OF their
humble lives that 1t Is possible they
have barely heard Of their famous rela-
tive, for but faint echoes Of all the tu-
mutt over the admirars arrived have
reached remote Elizaville.
James Dewey remained In Kentucky
before and all through the war sturdy
abolitionist and hence In measure
ostsacized by his southern neighbors.
But he had the square Dewey chin and
the resolute Dewey grit and he never
yielded a jot or little of his convictions.
In addition to the two daughters Just
mentioned he had two sons, both of
whom bore arms on the union side dur
ing the war-one in the army and the
other in the navy, SO the admiral is not
the first of his name and family to have
fought for the flag on the water. After
the war both Of these sons removed to
California, where they died.-N. Y,

Will Straighten Its Road.

In scouting about for items of
interest few days ago the editor
dropped onto few things concern
ing the North Western that may
be bit of information il not sus-
ceptible of falling into the cate
CORY of news. We understand
that during the coming summer
it is the intention of the North
Western to straighten it's track at
this place, by first starting in a
half mile above town and coming
up the hill to point just above
the Green Bay Lumber Go: shed,
and instead of following the curve
around by 8. l. Frazier's they
will straighten the Boyer river
near the point where the pioneer
wreck occurred three years ago
and go from that point st the
head of the curve st1right to a
point probablya mile and q half
or two below town In this way
the curves here will be virtually
dispensed with and the depot will
be moved from its location to q
point near where the old Fen;e
factory ono . stood. This will do
away with climbing that weari-
some hill makea vast improve :
ment as far as the road is con-
cerned will ba to no small degree
appreciated by our citizens. -Lo-

Within few days, work on the
Boon-Ogden short line o. the n
w, which has been in progress all
summer and reduces the distance
by three miles, will cease for the
year. The second Eli near the
second camp was completed Mon
day. It was begun June 9Th, and
although wider than the first and
requiring 5000 more yards to I'll
it than wonld the first, the work
will not be done for week or ten
days yet. The earth in the first
seems to have settled more than
in the second for reasons that can
not be discovered. The fist fill
WAS started May %, thus having
two weeks start of it's more speedy
neighbor. Another cutoff east of
the second camp was also to be
completed Monday, and that leaves
but one more cutoff to be finish
ed. The first camp will be aban-
doned this week. The steam SHOW

put into winter quarters.

war times, when trans-c nti-
mental rn Il was being figured up
on at Washington as war mea-
sure, and George Francis Train
and his friends were figuring upon
Omuha as the terminus of that
road, General John A. Dix was
elected the first president. He
held the position for four years
during the formative period of
the road.
Theu it was that the capital in
vested by Oskes Ames and Oliver
Ames asserted itself, and Oliver
Ames WAS elected the second pres.
ident, which position he held till
after the completion OF the road
in 1869.
Thomas A. Scott, formerly vice
president of the Pennsylvania
system, and assistant secretary of
war during Lincoin's administra-
ton, became the third president.
When the Vanderbilt interests
got the nppermost, Horace r.
Clark, the son-in law of Cornelius
Vanderbilt, become the fourth
president.
In 1878 Sidney Dillon became
president for the first time, and
conducted a vigorous administra-
ton. He was succeeded by
Charles Francis Adams, who
made tenure of office CD the Un-
ion Pacific quite uncertain. Then
Sidney Dillon retur ned as pres,-
dent, till the Gonld interests dis
posed of him in favor of 8. 81. Fl.
Clarke, who is most kindly re-
membered by the old employees.
In 1893 the road went into the re-
ownership, aud Clark's term as
president came to an end, but he
continued as the executive head
of the road under the title of man
aging receiver.
Early in 1893, when the Union
Pacific emerged from its receiver
ship and had reoeanized, the first
president under the new regime
was the present incumbent, Hor-
ace G. Burt, who had just come
from the third vice presidency of
the Northwestern at Chicago, but
who had for several years prior
to that lived in OmabH,as general
manager of the Elkhorn:.A World

; Whiting Reporter: E. r. Nc
Nelll of Ashton township, who
has lived here considerably over
a qu'r.ei of a century, hauled
his first load OF corn to Whiting
last week. Mr.. McNeill is one of
our farmers who believes more
money IS made one year with
another by feeding the product of
the farm to hogs aud cattle rather
Chan haulibg and selling it on the
market, and practices this belief
to good profit. You are now ask
ing why he sold this grain last
week; simply because the grain
burst from the building, and al
though he has large amount of
stock on hand to feed he had no
place to put the grain, and to
save loss sold it in town. There
are few farmers who can say they
never sold a bushel of grain and
made money by 80 doing.
