STILL PRESSING ON.

PANIQUE, November 1S.-Gen. Mac
Arthur's troops arrived from Corona
in the course of the morning. The
railroad beyond this point has not been
destroyed. The captured railway stock
is being repaired to handle supplies.
The expedition will go north toward
Bayombong probably to-day. The sig
nal corps is constructing lines with
great rapidity.
A native courier from Bayombong re-
ports that the American troops left the
town soon after they entered and that
many natives remain, although no in
surgents.
Gen. Macarthur discovered here
Major Joneson, formerly chief surgeon
on the staff of the Filipino commander,
Gen. Mascardo. He resides at Bacolor
and is about to return there to resume
his practice. Major Joneson says that
all respectable Filipinos are disguised
with the behavior of the insurgents, and
are very glad that the Americans have
the upper hand.

many places in the north.
Panique is a rich sugar town. Some
of the wealthy Chinese and the poorer
natives fed at the first approach of our
troops, but they are now confidently re-
turning. The rain has ceased, the
weather is fine and the country is dry
ing rapidly.

Old and New.

An English newspaper contains en-
interesting parallel, discovered by a
classical scholar. First comes u transla-
tion from the original Greek OF Anti
pater of Thessalonica:
Once upon time, when snip was
shattered at sea, two men fell at strife,
lighting for one plank. AntaGoras str7 ck
away Pisistratus. One could not bla,ae
him; it was for his life But justice
took cognizance. The other SWAIN
ashore; but him (Antagoras) dogtish
seized. Surely, the avengor Of the fates
rests not, even in the watery deep.
Then an incident recorded i'll the Lon
don Chronicle serves to translate the
story into modern event and to show
how life repeats itself:
Two bluejaclIeta, named Friday and
Painter. were capsized from boat at
Weymouth. After a struggle to get into
the waterlogged boat Friday beat his
comradc off. and Painter swain ashore.

Ills Mustard Plaster.

The mustard plaster is a harmless
looking wafer, but it must be handled
with as much circumspection as q.
woman. There was a newly married
man once whose wife told him to put
on a mustard plaster to cure cold. He
had faith in her, and put it on. Then
he went to sleep, being gifted with the
power of sleeping under torments which
is not given to one man in thousand.
The plaster seemed to him somewhat
unreasonably hot, but he argued that
the hotter it was the better. Besides,
he had confidence in his wife. Next day
he found well developed blister on his
chest, and his wife only laughed and
said she had supposed any one would
have sense enough to take off plaster
when it hurt him. Though that was II
months ago, the mark of the plaster is
still upon the man like brand, and hs
now regards his wifes remedies with
suspicion. New York Commercial Ad-

AMENDMENTS SUGGESTED.
Attorneys Want the Municipal Court Act
Changed.

H. L Schmitt, A E. Clark and w. L.
Comstock, the committee appointed to
suggest amendments to the municipal
court act, have sent a circular letter to
each of the attorneys in the city. The
committee suggests that the municipal
court act should be so amended as to al
low appeals to the district court in all
cases the same as is allowed in Justice
courts.
The committee also believes that a
general act applying to cities of over
5000 and under $4,000 inhabitants
should be enacted with provision that
any city coming within the. class may
elect to adopt the act by resolution of
its council; and that after the passage
of the act, the city council be urged to
adopt the act for Mankato, and when
this done it will probably be necessary
to have our special municipal court act
repealed.
This matter will be- brought up for
discussion Tuesday, February 2Sth, at
the municipal court room Immediately
after the call Of the calendar.

whose Sunday dress she spoiled with
lye The sum paid was S., and in re-
turn an agreement was signed not to be-

The two hostile families have also
been separated, the family of the ex-
pectant bride moving to a house further
away on the advice of disinterested par
ties.
The family of the young lady is said
to blame the would-be groom for not
concentrating the marriage six weeks
ago, according to an alleged understand
ing between the parties interested, in
which case there would have been no
trouble, they say. They lay the whole
matter to the hardness of the young

After Mr.. Barney bad spoken for ar
hour, Prof. Varney said that he had ar
engagement and must leave, and Others
who had been consulting their watches
became impatient. Mr., Varney said
that he could tell all that he had to say
in two minutes. Last year, fifty pupils
had come up from the eighth grade, and
among these were three who did not
reach the necessary grade for promotion
to the high school, and Charles Barney
was one of these three The teachers
thought that the three could succeed
and by their kindness they were promo.
! ted. Charles is now only asked to &C
back in the one study of English, tc
strengthen himself in that, and is not
asked to take seat in the eighth grade
room. Six were sent back in English,
Charles being one of these
Mr.. Wilson said that he could not
tell from the record who were sent back
Some were marked perfect on a lower
average than II, and if they were left
then this boy should be. He did not
know that they were left.
Mr.. Varney replied that the high
school had an honorable faculty, and
the board could safely leave it to them
to deal justly by all. If this fact did
not appeal to any member, it was due to
bias of mind If the teachers did as
was desired by parents in every case
there would be confusion in the schools
and nothing could be accomplished
Mr. Wilson stated that he was biased,
because the principal of the high school
had been paid fifty cents day to tutor
pupils outside of his school work. He
presumed that this was done with the
consent of the superintendent, and
thought that the matter needed investi-
cation.
Mr.. Varney denied that Mr.. Wilson
had a right to make any such presump-
tion.
Mr.. Varney left at this junction, and
Mr. Barney undertook to resume his ar
gument He had finished with the first
of his five topics, and was part way
through the second. Several members
of the board asked whether he could
not come to point or make his remarks
brief. He replied that ne had come to
make an evening of it. He then started
in to speak again.
Mr.. Parry sprung motion to ad-
journ, which was carried, and this end
ed thesmatter.
