THE EXPLANATION OF GUAM.
1t Is Probably the Cradle of the
Mythical scotch-Irish Race.

Sink or swim, live or die. survive or
perish we must keep Guam. Guam is
the place where. when our victorious ships
began bombarding 1t, the Spanish gov
ernor came out In his barge OF state and
apologized for not having returned the "sa-
Lutte" because he was out Of powder. He
had never heard that Spain and the
United States were at war. We must
keep Gaum. 1t Is a Sancho Panzas ISL
and, a veritable epltome of the opera
bouffe war In which we have starved our
own soldiers while royalty entertaining
those of the enemy and sending them
home at the government expense, besides
paying the defeated power for territory
which we claim 10 have acquired by right
of conquest Moreover. Capt Richard p.
Leary is to be our governor of Guam. and
that alone is reason enough for holding
the island, II It Is an island. though we
believe it Is the cradle Of the Scotch-Irisn
race. The place is fortunate in having
such a governor; we are unfortunate Ia
losing for the time such gallant sailor.

Referring TO Mr.. Delivers speech about
the destiny and duty of the nation, Mr..

complain of It, and believed that the con-
sent of the Filipnos could be gained in
the same way that his own had been. But
IL was because he believed that no man
knew or could by any possibility foreteil
what It would cost to hold the Philippines
after we got them.
In conclusion, Mr.. Allen, under the guise
of personal explanation, exposed, as he
said, the motive lying behind the attack

OLD FRIENDS FIGHT. A DUEL.

err VIII Get Her,

err VIII Get Her.
From the Hawkinsville Dispatch and
News
Ivy Log, Cain this quiet little Union
county town bloody tragedy has Just
been enacted.
Two of our leading young men are at
the point of death, each having received
a pistol wound from the hands of the
other. They are Isaac Henson and Joe
Price.
For years they have been warm personal
friends, having grown up together.
pretty little girl was for years their play-
mate, but since they grew UP they both
learned to love her with am ardor that
was selfish, and recently jealousy for the
young lady has destroyed the friendship
that was so dear TO their childhood
Each sought her hand in marriage. She
accepted neither, holding them both In
suspense. Each decided that but for the
other he would be accepted. They met
about a month ago and talked over The
master. They could not agree. Neither
would give way for the other They quar-
relied, and parted. They were henceforth
sworn enemies, and from that time until
Wednesday. the day of the duel each car
ried a pistol always in reach. Neither
each other was noticea bic, but it was not
regarded seriously by mutual friends. The
young lady thought she was having great
fun, but little dreamed of the tempest
that was forming.
Wednesday the two young men met
again. This time their meeting was ac-
cidental. Each STOPPED and eyed the 9TH
er for a few seconds.
They spoke a few angry words. No one
was near to stop them. and they agreed
that one should die. They then and there
planned a duel with pistols.
"Are you armed?" asked the one.
Eyes" replied the other, land now will
suit me as well as any other time. There
is no need of ceremony"
They measured ten PAGES, squared them
selves, and one counted three. At the
word two pistols fired and two bodies fell
heavily on the ground. Henson struggled
10 his feet. He had been shot through, the
bullet passing just under his lungs. He
looked at the PROSTATE form of his an
tagonst. He supposed his shot had been
fatal, and in the moment of his first re-
morse he tried to gain comfort in the
thought that the young lady would now
become his bride
Crowds, attracted by the shooting. soon
appeared on the scene. 1t was found that
although in a precarious condition, Price
was not dead The bullet struck him in
the abdomen, and he may possibly sur
vive
Both young men are under treatment
from the same physician, and either Is
barely alive.
The young lady is Frustrated She has
a pitiable case of mysteries, and declares
that under no circumstances could she
be induced to marry either of them.

then would go on about the same, regard

what l said to-day would not effect the
course of things a century hence I would
not speak. Some time ago there was a
contention going on here about whose war
this was. On the Republican side it was
claimed to be a Republican war; on this
side there was an effort to claim and Sc
