The Filipinos Are Now Breaking Up
Into small Squads.
III MANILA, Oct. 11.Major Bell with
100 picked men Of the Thirty-sixth
regiment, made . reconnaissance in the
direction Of Florida Blanco, four miles
out of Guagua, and encountered
body Of 100 insurgents, whom they.
routed, capturing lieutenant and the
armed privates. Near Florida Blanco
they met another body Of insurgents
and routed them, capturing another
first lieutenant and one private. Re-
turning with twenty scouts, Major
Bell encountered the enemy third
time. The round reconnaissance result
ed in scattering the insurgents in that
locality. The last two days have wit
messed considerable outpost firing by
small bands Of insurgents on the north
en Zines simultaneously with the
affair near La Iona church, the out
posts Of the American forces at Calico
can, Deposito and Marquina were fred
upon. It appears that the insurgents
in the neighborhood are operating in
bands Of from five to twenty, and it is
rnmored that attacks are to be made
npon the hospitals. The uprising in
Manila will result in extra vigilance
on the part Of the United States troops.

SHORT SERMONS.

Our debt to the dead is unspeakable.
Dor good or i'll, the world is largely
ruled by the dead.-Rev. B. Fay Mills.
How many people really know as to
ne immortality Of the soul? Some ar
cue we are bound to accept it because
Gods word says SOW. J. Colville.
Religion is altogether q matter Of
faith; a matter in which the feelings
are involved, but with which the INTEL
lect has nothing to do.-Rev. s. w.
Reigart. tss- j
The mysteries we are called upon TO
accept in our belief in Christ are not
greater than those confronting the
naturalist in the ordinary phenomena
Of ltfe.-Dr. G. H. Combs.
The happiness or misery of a soul
Will depend upon the relation of its
environment in the spiritual world. A
soul that loves God will be happy any
where.-Rev. Dr.. E. H., Ward.
Without character culture is white
wash and gold is corruption. Charac-
ter is the only solid basis for racial
development. Races possess charac-

A MISTAKEN IDEA.

Iowa Soldiers Will Not Sue the State
for Double Pay.
Dies MONIES, Oct. 12,-The state war
department wishes to clear up a mis-
taken impression that has got abroad
regarding the pay of Iowa troops dur
ing the Spanish-American war. The;
adjutant generals department says
that the construction put upon the
section which is quoted is entirely er-
roneous, for the four Iowa regiments
were in the United States service as
volunteers and not as national guards
or militia, hence they have no claim
on the state for back pay, General
orders, No. 25, issued by the adjutant
general September 16, 1898, formally;
discharged all members of the Iowa
national guard as it existed prior to
the openinp of the war.

A Case of Small Pox Reported to BE at
Ottumwa.
Dies MONIES, Oct. 12.-Small pox has
again broken out in Iowa. A case at
Ottumwa was reported to the state
board of health by DR.. J. F. Herrick,
local health officer. DR.. Herrick states
that the patient has been taken to a
pest house two miles out of the city,
where he is being cared for. Strict
quarantine measures have been adopt
ed and the board of health is enforcing
rigid measures to prevent the spread of
the disease. The Young man who is
afflicted came to Ottumwa on bicycle
and is himself unable to tell where he
contracted the disease. He has been
making a bicycle tour of this and adj
joining states and has been in a hun
bred or more different towns within
the past two weeks, in any of which,
SO far as he knows, he may have been
exposed. 90. &C.

Ezekiel Clark and Marshal Scott Will:
son, arrested four men who were
thought to be burglars who entered
the store of Postmaster Seydel, and he
positively identified some clothing
which had been found in possession of
these men, two of the men wearing
pants which had Seydel's mark on
them. They had secured about 500:
worth of stuff, all clothing, and al
though the postofice was in the same;
room, not thing pertaining to the
Office was disturbed. The officers are:
of the opinion that they are old timers,
although young in years, and coming;
events will likely prove that they are:

Harlan died yesterday morning at half

Harlan occupied place in the affections
OF Iowans second only to that OF the;
memories clustering around War Gov
ernor Kirkwood. Iowa proudly claims
him as her own, although he was born,
In Illinois and educated in Indiana.
He first saw the light of day in Clark

later his parents moved to Indiana.
he was graduated from the Asbury
university, Greencastle, Ind, in 1s45,I
was married the same year and came.
to Iowa, where he has resided ever;
since. In his early Iowa days Mr.. Har-
Ian farmed and taught school. 1nls47,
he was elected state superintendent Of
schools, serving one year. He then,
practiced law, after a season of study;
until 1858, when he was elected presi-;
dent Of the Iowa Wesleyan college, oc-,,
cupying the position two years. In:
1855 Mr.. Harlan was elected United
States senator and he was reelected in
1851. He resigned in 1865 to become
secretary of the interior under Abra-i
ham Lincoln. The following year he;
was again reelected to the senate, but
in 1872 was defeated by William B. AL
lison, who has been reelected ever
since. In 1882 Mr.. Harlan was appoint
ed chief justice of the court of commits
sioners of Alabama claims, which posi-
ton he held four years.. In 1893 he
was called from retirement to act as
temporary chairman of the repr' lican
state convention. AS such officer he
made a speech which had tremendous
effect in checking the threatened bolt
of prohibitionists on account of the
conventions declaration for practical
local option. He was candidate for
the republican nomination for governor
in 1895, but his age was against him.
