/ Every party pledge must be kept"
IS the watchword of the republican
members Of the legislature, and o that
END joint caucus was held on Friday
night. The measures that the party
Will enact into law are Il law compel
ling every state officer to turn into
the state treasury every cent Of fees
received, law that will insure an
honest election and IA fair count; a law
that Will insure the safety of the
peoples money; a new revenue law
that Will increase the states income
without increasing the burden upon
the common people; the party will do
all In It's power to do away with the
useless offices created by the last po~,-
nlist legislature.
Last Monday opened up with a
blaze of oratnry over the resolution
endorsing President Mckinley's con-
duct OF the war; the principal speech

two democrats voted for the resolu-

two bills locating normal schools at
Aberdeen and Watertown were taken
npon Friday and passed by the House;
they are at present in the governors
hands and great pressure is being
brought to bear to induce him to sign
them. Senator Bouck's bicycle bill
is still under discussion in the Senate
ana may pass. His bill providing for
side track and elevator site facilities
came up and though the committee
reported unfavorably he appealed to
the Senate with the result that the
senate amen1ed the report to read
that the bill do pass This is the
same bill Ex representative Storlie so
ably pushed the last session.
Up to date Speaker Somers has had
but one appeal from his ruling with
the resnl: of his being sustained.
Grant county has been very much in
evidence the past week. Editors
DoWnie and Volkmar came in on
Tuesday night. and Mr.. l. ID. Aldrich
Monday. The editors were of course
active in the deliberations Of their as
sociation. Mr.. a ldrich renewed old
acqnalntances and enjoyed himself
generally. The speech made by Mr..
Dwight il the House last week has
set some Of the Legislators who hoped
to make a record hy securing new
and appropriation, to think
ing. Mr. Dwight who is one Of the
house leaders and a member Of the
committee, tod the
house that the deficiencies reported
up to date amounted to over $4,000.
that the regents, board OF charities
and corrections, aud state offers asked
for total OF over one million dollars.
that the new buildings demanded
to over $4,000 and If all
demands were granted the appropria-
tions Of this Legislature would amount
to the enormous sum OF one million
six hundred thousand dollars. The
total revenue for two years is only
about nine hundred thousand dollars.
So there will be a big cut somewhere.

tutions are united in opposing this
raid upon the people and representa-
tives Schaffer and Somers are organ

things John gives the following
descriptio of his new surround
ings in the Filipino city:
Manila is the oldscity founded
by the Spaniards in 1871 and it
has not got any letter since, the
streets are about l5 #. wide and
the side walks are about 3 it.
wide, the buildings are about as
odd as they are old and two
stories high. They do not use
any glass in The windows on ac-
count of earthquakes. On the
tops Of the first story there is a
porch t feet wide which hangs
out over the sidewalk, which we
thought was very strange at first
but which is I'll right, as it rains
here every day for ten months
IN the year and these porches
come in very handy as no rain
ever gets on the sidewalk. The
old city is very strongly fortified
on three sides by wall 20 feet
high, % feet wide aud mounted
all around by modern guns and
on the sea front by three of the
strongest forts in this part of
the world. There are four en-
frances into the walled city by
gates with draw bridges which
we could never have taken with
out Dewey and his boats. The
population consist of Chinese,
Spaniards, and the native Phil
pinos who are the dirtiest race
of people in the world.
Our regiment is doing police
duty in Manila and we have 4
companies in the walled city.
All the Spanish prisoners are
not allowed outside of the walled
city until they are sent home,
which will be just as soon as
troop ships can be gotten. We
have five American newspapers
here, 'Fhe American Soldier, .

town is not near SO bad, but bad
enough; it has electric lights,
street railways with bob-tail cars
which are drawn by two small
ponies aud in going around
curves we have to get out and
push as the little horses get
stuck with their big loads.
There are many Americans
here now, civilians | mean, in
the saloon, restaurant and other
business, and all Of them seem to
be making money. There is
lots of money to be made here
but one has to have money to
make it. We have not been up

very rich in minerals but do not
know how much truth there is in

FROZE TO DEATH.
Andrew Martin. The Victim.

On Wednesday morning last
the early arrivals down town
were Mortified to learn that the
body Of Andrew Martin, the tai
lor who conducts shop on the
lower end of Main street, had
been found frozen stiff in the
horse yard of Brennan S livery
stable. The body was lying close
up to the fence that runs along
by the sidewalk, as if the man
might have fallen over the fence
and into the yard, and his cap,
together with some bread and
doughnuts, which he had been
taking home in a package, We're
found some distance away on the
ground back Of the hotel ST. HUI
bert. The body was first seen
by one of the men employed in
the livery barn and by L. II.
Bentley, the latter being on has
way TO catch the Wilmot train.
When the body was seen to be
dead the coroner was notified
and he had it removed to Eman-
uels undertaking room. 1t pre-
Sented in it's frozen condition a
CHASTITY sight.
The general supposition upon
finding the corpse was that the
man had been intoxicated, and in
such condition had fallen over
into the yard, which is nearly
two feet below the level of the
sidewalk. The man had been
drinking more or less since the
beginning Of year, and was known
to have been indulging quite
freely during the day and even.
ing IN question. His wife had
taken him home in the early even
ing, but he had again gone down
town, and was to bring home
some bread. He had secured
this and had gone to one of the
saloons and left the place some
time after nine clock, and the
next record Of him was the dis
covery of his body in the morn
ing, though the condition of the
remains when examined did not
Indicate that they had lain out il
the freezing air ali night.
Coroner Robinson deemed it
advisable to hold an inquest on
the remains, and Messrs. J. H.
King, Il. Johns and Ed. johnson
were summoned as q jury. A
numbe of witnesses were ex-
amined, including the wife Of
the deceased, and the latter stat
ed that the deceased was subject
to epileptic fits, and the jury
rendered verdict that it was in
one of these that he fell over and
was overcome with the cold.
The deceased was member of
the Modern Woodmen and Ma
sonic lodges of Bowdle, where
he lived previous to his coming
to this city last summer, and the
former organization will have
charge of the funeral which will
take place at the house on Satur-
day afternoon at two o'clock, and

assemble at their hall at | p. m.

MANUAL TRAINING ~ THE SCHOOLS.

II is said that Dallas people at the

The Post has long advocated SUCH

fight to make on classical education, but
it feels that the community owes 1t to the
poor children in its midst, girls as Well

of the public schools with n special train

tive apprenticeship. And every communi-
ty not only owes this service to its youth.
but TO itself as valuable Investment. The
State. too, as whole owes this much to
its children and to the cause Of progress.
No community can tax itself too heavily
for educational purposes, provided the edu-
cation be hrst-class which Is furnished and
practical and useful as well as orna-
mental. Some little outlay in the first in
