A brief cessation of the rains ena.
bled General Otis to advance some
troops to Calulet, six miles from San
Fernando, with the object of clear
ing away the Filipinos about the
American post. The natives made
life burden by coming close under
cover and firing at the Americans
day and night, thus picking off indi-
viduals and robbing all of sleep. San
Fernando was bombarded by four
American gunboats Tuesday, but no
landing was made. 1t was hoped
that warning was given, so that non
combatents escaped, since we learn
that many houses were riddled and
destroyed. We are no doubt being
rapidly endeared to our fellow-citi-
zens or subjects by these lombard
ment.

Mr.. Gold Endorsed

Our wellknOwn countymon, Hon.
Thomas d. Gold, deserves the unan-
lmous and hearty endorsement, which
his candidacy for State Senator re-
ceiyed at the primaries in the county
last Saturday. No man IN the coun-
ty is entitled to recognition at the
hands of his party more than Mr..
Gold. Being chairman of the demo
cratic executive of Clarke county for
many years, upon him deYolved a
large amount of labor for which he
has never received nor asked for, till
now, any compensation, and it is but
just and right that the democratic
party, for which he has toiled nearly
a life time, should crafty his desire
to be its standard-bearer in the
approaching fight for the State Sen
ate. Besides being the duty of the
party to award its faithful servants.
it's also Its duty to place its banner
In the hands of man in whom the
people have the utmost confidence
and who possesses the ability to take
care of the peoples rights when as
sailed. Mr.. Gold is such man, and
his fellow-citizens of his home county
will demonstrate their esteem for
him at the polls next fall, if he makes
the race, with the same unanimity as
they did at the primaries Saturday.

1t is stated on high authority that
the result of a conference between
President Mckinley and Secretary
Root is that Gen. Otis will remain in
supreme command of the American
forces in the Philippine Islands.
However, should Gen. Otis express a
desire to be relieved Gen. Lawton
will be promoted and placed in COM
mand of our troops. Gen. Merritt
desires again to return to
Manila, but no place can be found
for him. Considerable dlssatisfac
ton is expressed by friends of the
Administration at the decision of the
President to leave General Otis to
continue his Intellectual struggle to
conquer the Filipinos, but it is said
that Mr.. Mckinley desires to
give him a chance to show what be
can do with $4,000 effective troops.

eLKS HAVE SOCIAL SESSION
10 Barton sings nm Original Song ON
the Columbin-Sh
Race.

The Elks, Omaha lodge No. 80, kept open
house last night in honor OF visiting mem
bers from Atlantic, Ia After the Iowa Wis
tors had been welcomed in characteristic
Elk style, Bellstedts band enlivened the
occasion with "a Hot Time in the Old Town
Tonight" and other popular airs. Then
came a program OF songs and recitations.
10 Barton sang song OF his own CONF
position, which promises to become national
in circulation. 1t was the first written on
the yacht race between Columbia and sham
rock Mr.. Barton composed 1t especially
for last nights meeting. The title is Go
Back on Erin" and it was sung to the tune,
"Wearin' of the Green" The lines follow,
Sir Thomas, dear. how do you feel about
carrying back that cup?
The shamrock Is pretty boat, but with
Columbia can't keep up
Your British tarS may he all right, and
sailors strong and true, ~.
But Uncle Sam was al. the helm, with the
old red, white and blue
And when he starts to finish first, no mat
ter on what tack,
You'll have to work almighty hard to get
that trophy back,
But, Thomas. dear, We love you, because
you're a sportsman bold,
And unlike old Dunravcn you will ne'er
be treated cold.
1t is the same old story, be it on the land
or sea,
Our soldiers and our sailors. too. will gain
supremacy,
And when YOU on the Erin with the sham
rock in the tow,
Sail back and tell Victoria what the Yam
KEGS did to you,
Remember that our latchs tring is always
out the door, go
And when YOU come again to see US we'll
do the same some more,
And with such men as lseln and the Co.
umbia true and taut,
That cup will stay with Uncle Sam against
any old English yacht.
Wild cheering followed this patriotic hit.
George H. Cronk recited Eugene Fields
poem, John Smith, U. S. A." This poem
is the story OF an American homesck in
London. He learned that John Smith was
in town and he wondered which John it
was, but decided that any OF them would
| do so long as he registered ~. S. A." Mr..
| Cronk was so roundly cheered that he re-
cited another, cole Mans Jim," a pathetic
poem by James Whitcomb Riley.
L. o. Brandt gave mimic portrayal OF q
speech made by w. ]. Bryan when he was
! in congress, which was received with ap,
plause.
