ELKS LOCKED HORNS.
There was Hot Time in Yuma
 Saturday Night.

The long and firmly established rep- utation he'd by the metropolis of the Colorado for hot weather and hot things in general was in no wise di- unfinished last Saturday night when Yuma lodge No. 476, B. ?. o. E. was in stituted with great eclat and impress siVe ceremony.
 The large crowd of visiting Els from the Phoenix and Tucson lodges anticipated by the Yuma.tes was not quite realized, but the preparations were not lessened, and those who did attend were compelled to make up in enthusiasm what they lacked in nu- merical strength, and nobly did they do their duty.
 The work of initiation was Der- formed by c. F. Morrell, D. D. G. E, R.. assisted by William F. Mayors Of Phoenix lodge as esteemed leading knight; Ira P Smith of Phoenix lodge, but a resident of Yuma, as esteemed loyal knight; w. N. Tiffany of PhOe- nix lodge as esteemed featuring knight; E.

A SONG CONTEST.
How the Poets of Provence Amused q Their King and Themselves
 in the OIden Times.

By and by King Rene came into the hall and took his seat on the throne. He wore rich robe of purple velvet, embroidered all over in the brig. est silks and gold; and after him came a great troupe of troubadours and min nesingers, some carrying their own harps. and some followed by little pages who bore their masters belong ings.
 As the good king Rene looked at his gay company and the brilliantly hung hall and the long tables. his eyes sparkled with delight. and his heart swelled with pleasure when he thought of the coming contest; for he was never so happy as when thus surrounded by his dear troubadours, whom he loved to make in every way as happy as possi- ble.
 Then, when all was ready, a gnyly dressed herald came into the hall. and kneeling before the king. and bow ing o the asse mbled company, an- nounced the coming of the two counts, William and Reynaurd. All the other troubadours and minnesingers stood up, and King Rene smiled graciously as the two noblemen entered. followed by their pages. Pierrot and Henri. each of whom carried a viol bedecked with long silken ribbons.
 When the counts had saluted the king and taken their places before him. he commanded seneschal to bear in the prize, and so the beautiful collar of jewels was brought in upon a silver tray and placed on a carved bench be- side the king. Then herald stepped out, and, lifting the collar upon the point Of fower-wreathed lance, dis played it to all the company and an- nounced the terms of the contest of song about to take place.
 All of which was certainly great deal better and prettier than the GUS toms of most of the royal courts of that time. In all the lands, except where King Rene Tired. when the peo- pie wanted entertainment ,hey used 70 gateher together to see contests called tournaments, where noble lords tried to overthrow each other with real lances on which there were no garlands. But King Rene could not endure such barbarous displays. and so in his palace no one fought another except with pretty verses, and the best poet was the hampion.-Eveleen Stein. in St. Nich-

To him who is concerned with history
In the making there very rarely comes a
year more heavily laden with important
events than the year 1898. 1t has seen
every state in Europe. except peaceful
Scandinavia and the Dutch communities,
face to face with either war or internal
dissolution-some of them within meas
urable distance of both. Yet the greatest
effects have not been in Europe: 1893 has
seen the United States forced, not by any
greed of power. but by its humanitarian
ideals, to take its part in European rela-
tons. A brief but glorious armed conflict
with Spain has been begun, prosecuted to
its end and settled by treaty of peace
upon which the ink is scarcely dry. The
inception of great political changes has
been witnessed in China; two European
rulers have come to their death; several
men and women prominent in statecraft.
military affairs. reform, literature and
music. have passed away; the year has
been marked by some terrible marine dis
asters, causing great loss Of life; and fire,
flood and storm have numbered their vic
time by scores and caused extensive loss
of property.
The war between the United States and
Spain was the foremost event or series of
events in the years history. 1t was the
sixth war waged 10y the American people
against foreigners, was declared April %,
1898, and continued until Aug. -, about
four months. The United States employ
ed over 200 warships, OF all classes, and
300 GOO regulars and volunteers, nearly
200 900 of whom, however. did not see
active service against the Spaniards. The
United States forces won all the battles
of the war; the most notable engagements
being Admiral Dewey's destruction of
the Spanish Eastern fleet at Manila bay.
Admiral SIMPSONS destruction of the
Spanish Cape de Verde squadron at San
tiago, and Gen Skaters capture of San
tiago The American naval forces lost
not vessel, and but II killed and 81
wounded: hut the army lost PIG killed and
1 1887 wounded. The Spanish navy lost
30 warships valued at $36,5O0,000, more
than 1000 sailors in killed alone; and the
army lost nearly 5000 in killed, besides
wounded Spain was obliged to relin-
quish Cuba and to cede all its remaining
West Indian possessions to the United
States; also the island of Guam, one of
the Ladrones, and lost sovereignty over
practically all the Philippines The Unit
ed States expended about 100000, 900 in
prosecuting the war. Spain was COM
petely bankrupted.
The chronological table that follows
gives the most important happenings of
1898 foremost among which are those of
the war with Spain.
The Kootenai herald. [volume] (Kootenai, Idaho) 1891-1904, 1899-01-14

story concerning our troops in Manila
is told by an English naval officer, who
was an eyewitness to the occurrence.
The city was quite crowded." he says.
with both American and Spanish sol
diers, and they seemed to be on the
friendiest terms. AS | was crossing one
of the numerous bridges across the Pasig
River, l saw a native Filipino spit in the
face of a Spanish officer, aud then run to
the American sentinel, who was guarding
the bridge, demanding his protection. Ii
was some time before the Filipino could
make himself understood, and the sentry
took sometime to catch on to what had
been done, but you can imagine my sur
prise when he handed his gun to the Span
ish officer and caught the native by the
nape of the neck and the seat of his
trousers and pitched him off the bridge
into the Pasig River. Then he calmly
took his gun from the Spanish officer and
began pacing the beat as if nothing had
happened The American soldier may not
be so military as his brother of Europe,
but he is made Of the right stuff"
-
A rather pretty incident is told by a hos
pital doctor who has some sick soldier
boys in charge. There happened to be
two men of the same name in the same
hospital-that is, their last names and
their initials are alike. The other day the
sister of one came to see him, but by mis-
take was shown into the room of the 9TH
er, a man whom she had never before
seen. and, of course, she was slightly en-
barrassed and departed as rapidly as pos
sible. But not before she had made a de-
cided impression on the heart of the SOL
der boy. Being almost well, he cultivated
the acquaintance of his double, was in
time duly introduced to the woman her
self, and now-well the neighbors do saw
that things are getting decidedly inter
esting. and neighbors can generally be
counted on to know all that is to be known
on such subjects. But if things do come
to the desired ending, won't there be an
awful state of mix in that family when
there come to be two men of the same
name in it?
Al
