PLANT Of a Mother.

The following letter gives a glimpse
of the sentiment of the American peo-
pie today whose cOnsciences will con-
troll the final settlement of the Philip
pine question in no distant future.
Mrs. E. M. Akers, of Pipestone, Mimi.
a member of the Methodist Episcopal
church and mother of one of the vol
unteers, voices the feelings of many an
American mother today, with which
millions of hearts sympathize, in the
following words:
IAN I to believe that God, who is
rich in mercy. requires me to give the
life of my boy (who is now in the
Philippine Islands in the First South
Dakota Volunteers to increase the
wealth of this nation? Am I to be-
lieve that God looks upon his being
kept there Illegally 1.-THE war being over
for which he enlisted) with approval
because President Mckinley ap-
proves p AS well might l believe that
God approved of Judas selling his
Master for thirty pieces OF silver be
cause the high priest approved it.
My boy writes: 1T makes me
fairly faint ard sick to see the wound
ed Filipinos who are brought into the
hospital all shot to pieces with our
rapid-fre guns.
HE enlisted in the cause of human
ity, to save men from oppression. Now
he writes: i did not enlist in a war of
conquest; the object for which we en-
listed is just the reverse And he
wants to come home, but is compelled
to stay las all the volunteers are) and
help kill Filipinos, to civllize them
and bring them under American rule.
1.-THE boy we taught to honor the
flag, the eblem of liberty and indepen-
dence, must now. against his convic-
lions. follow that flag as it leads oui
American boys on to trample down a
people for daring to ask for liberty and
independence, cultivating a spirit in
them which blunts all moral sense OF
the rights of others, and president
Mckinley approves"
''Do not tell me this is Gods way of
expansion. Let the church use any
other argument but this, for it dis
honors the name of Christ and destroys
the faith that worketh by love- I
cannot find anything in the teachings
of Jesus Christ that justifes this
Philippine war, and to keep the faith
1 must abide by the doctrine Of
Christ"

Robbery Saturday Night.

Saturday night robbers gained an
entrance into Suffers store through a
back window and stole II lot of handker-
chiefs and all the jewelry-cuff buttons,
collar buttons, &c,-there was in the
store. The robbers must have been
frightened out before they were ready
to go or they would have taken more
goods with them. They tried to get
into Milliren's clothing store through a
rear window but failed. The burglars
left their tools at Suffers store, which
consisted OF brace and bit, screw
driver and three or four pieces OF iron
used for jimmies. Four "toughs" who
reside in Jefferson county are suspected
of being the burglars who did this job

Miss-taken for a Burglar.

John Wagner, of the Shick & Wag-
ner dry goods store, slept in the store
Monday night and did not tell his Sis
ter, Mrs. Shick, with whom he boards,
of his intentions, and when Mrs. Shick
got up early yesterday morning and dis
covered that he had not been in that
night, she was alarmed and sent Miss
Kittie to the store to lind her uncle. Mr..
Wagner did not hear Kittie enter the
store and when he awoke at what he
thought was 200 a. m. and heard some
person walking quietly around In the
store, he thought it was burglar, and
with revolver In hand he slipped along
behind the counter to the end OF 1t and
there waited for the burglar to come
nearer Miss Kittie was badly frightened
when she stepped behind the counter
and revolver was showed up in front
of her face. Had Mr.. Wagner been
hasty about shooting he might have
killed his niece.
